Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1977

Standing behind the stall, Shannon nodded demurely. Then, she pointed at a mini skull the size of a child's palm.

Of course, the skull was merely a cover-up; what truly belonged to her was the tiny hazelwood sword hidden inside the skull.

Initially, Shannon had wanted to use it as a plaything for Benji Gold. To her surprise, the tournament organizer secretly took it as part of the first-round assessment item.

Although the hazelwood sword was hers, the skull was not. To reclaim her belongings, she would have to get the mini skull back as well.

Due to the unique nature of Phantom Market's transactions, while MysticApp points could be used as base currency, not all items could be exchanged using points.

Clearly, this mini skull wasn't one of them.

"According to the information I gathered, vendors who buy and sell our items are all on pre-arranged terms with the tournament organizers. If we want to reclaim our items, there are only three ways.

"First, we can redeem them with MysticApp points, but the price is a hundred times higher than the normal market value. I suspect that most participants probably won't be able to afford it from their personal accounts.

"Second, we can trade something of our own in exchange, depending on what the vendor needs."

The requirements varied for each person. For example, the vendor who had Shannon's item demanded that she exchange one of her tails.

Not only was her supernatural power sealed, preventing her from revealing her tail, but even if she could, she would never exchange one of her tails.

Whether it was the first or second method, the organizers clearly didn't intend to make it easy for her or others to reclaim their items.

Thus, this led them to the third option.

"The third option is also a trade, but the requirement is that you must exchange another item from a fellow participant in order to reclaim your own."
