Heard this, Suren said in a deep voice, "Okay."

Originally, he was just asking. He didn't expect to find a suitable one the first time.

Then the cloaked figure handed over a box.

Inside the box was a coil of silver hair.

The person continued to introduce, "I don't know what kind of twisted monster this hair comes from. Perhaps Mr. Black knows its origin. But it's the most magical thread I've ever seen. Inject it with dark spirit energy, and you'll know why I say it's magical."

When encountering unfamiliar materials, the usual procedure is to have Mr. Black appraise them.

But Suren didn't need to. He directly used the Omniscient Eye to look at the material, and the name immediately appeared.

[Crying Witch's Cursed Hair]

Detailed explanation: Yearning breaks the heart, yearning grows long, the hair grows longer; This is a very special cursed material. It has both elemental and solid-state properties at the same time. It has super energy conductivity, super toughness, super controllability, and super intermittent properties...

Seeing the introduction, a strange look flashed across Suren's expression.

Looks like it's very powerful?

Since it was an inspection, he didn't stand on ceremony and picked up a semi-transparent silver hair with his fingers.

This pinch felt like pinching a very thin needle. It wasn't soft, and his fingertips clearly felt the unusual toughness of the thread.

Then, injecting dark spirit energy, a magical scene happened.

The hair, which was originally solid, gradually turned into a void elemental state, and the more energy injected, the more transparent it became... and it gradually grew longer!

This strand of hair, about a meter long, visibly turned into two meters before stopping.

Suren felt as if he was holding a faint "thread of light" in his hand. He felt like it disappeared from his sight, but he was actually holding a small section of it in his hand.

Moreover, the most amazing thing was that the transparent thread didn't break when he passed his hand through it?

As soon as the dark spirit energy stopped being injected, it immediately returned to its original flexible solid state.

Watching Suren try it out, the cloaked figure who took out the thread also added, "You can pull it with confidence. For this thickness, it's the toughest thread I've ever seen. I've also tested it before, and ordinary blades can't cut it. If it's refined into an implant, it will be even stronger..."

Suren pulled it slightly, and the thread cut into his hand, but there was no sign of breaking, so he didn't try any further.

He said lightly, "Yes, not bad."

.......

When Suren saw this material, even with his good mentality, he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart.

Just this glance, and he was convinced that this was definitely the most suitable thread for a puppeteer among the materials he knew!

Now he uses steel wire to control the puppets, which is not only weak in dark spirit energy conductivity, but also very limited.

Using steel wire in battle, the target is too obvious. When the enemy sees the puppet, it is easy to judge the position of the steel wire. Once the steel wire is cut, the puppet will immediately stop working...

Moreover, controlling multiple puppets, encountering special environments, and complex battles will make it very easy for the steel wire to get knotted and entangled...

There are also length restrictions...

There are too many disadvantages of solid steel wire!

He was previously wondering, when he saw Pestoya controlling puppets in Stormwind Manor, she was obviously not using solid wire. He thought it was some special secret method. He never thought that there would actually be such a magical cursed material in this world.

This hair can freely transform between solid and elemental bodies, and can also be lengthened, intermittent, and conduct energy...

Even if it's not the same model, it also meets all of Suren's needs for puppet threads!

Oh, praise this magical and weird world!

.......

At this time, Mr. Black also spoke after testing the characteristics of this thread, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the hair of a twisted monster called the 'Crying Witch' recorded in ancient books. That kind of monster is very special. It seems to be a ghost species with physical attack methods, which can penetrate people's dreams..."

Hearing this, Suren also sighed in his heart that this [Polymath] was indeed knowledgeable and knew everything.

However, it doesn't matter what monster it comes from, what he wants is this hair!

This thing... seems to only be useful to puppeteers.

Hopefully it won't be too expensive...

Suren thought to himself, feeling a little guilty.

Such a magical material, he felt that the spoils he got from the gang fight last time might not be enough to buy it, at least not enough to buy a lot of it.

But while Suren was praying that he wouldn't miss such a perfect thread because of the price...

The cloaked figure who took out the thread poured a bucket of cold water on him before he even asked for the price.

He said, "But, it's a pity... there are only three strands of this material."

"Three strands?"

Suren frowned slightly upon hearing this.

If there are only three strands, what's the use of taking them?

I've already taken off my pants, and you're telling me this?

The man seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to whet people's appetites and then say this, so he explained, "I extracted this from a corpse near a ruin when I led a team to the underground. The monster used this hair to kill people, but I didn't actually see the twisted monster."

Suren understood what he meant and asked directly, "What price do I have to pay if I need information on the specific location of this material?"

The cloaked figure didn't seem to be afraid of being exposed and directly stated his identity, "This information can be given to you for free. I am Tuze from the 'Red Knight Wasteland Reclamation Group'. If you have any commissioned tasks in the future, you can also take care of us."

After all, in his opinion, everyone here was a high-level professional, and there might be opportunities to deal with them in the future.

It was worth making a good connection with a piece of information.

He was also very straightforward, writing down an address with a quill pen on the table and handing the note over.

"It's actually there..."

Suren glanced at the note and recognized that the address pointed to the underground ruins he had traveled to when he crossed over.

He frowned slightly and then said, "If you have more of this material, I think I'm still interested in buying it. Of course, if the employment price is right, I'd like to hear what price I would have to pay to get this material..."

Others don't know what's going on with those ruins, but Suren does. Before, he didn't know enough about this world and didn't know what the ruins meant. But now he knows... those ruins mean "extreme danger"!

It is the most correct choice to entrust professional matters to a professional Wasteland Reclamation Group.

Unfortunately, upon hearing this, the cloaked figure shook his head, "Sorry, my group probably won't go to those ruins in a short time. My team that I took out this time suffered 80% casualties and will be resting for a long time."

"..."

Suren's eyes twitched slightly upon hearing this.

This "Red Knight Wasteland Reclamation Group" is a large Wasteland Reclamation Group with a good reputation in the outer city, and there are several Tier 2 professionals in the group.

But if 80% of them were lost, how dangerous would the ruins be?

Suren was in a dilemma. Professional Wasteland Reclamation Groups were unwilling to go again, so what should he do with the materials he wanted?

.......

At this time, the people around the stone table heard this self-introduction and the mention of the ruins, and they all became interested.

Someone then asked, "Chief Tuze, did you just return from Wasteland Reclamation in Dawn City? I need information about Dawn City, the more detailed the better. Name a price..."

"Yes, I just returned from Dawn City."

Tuze sighed slightly, seemingly recalling some bad experiences.

After a pause, he added, "Regarding that ruin... I can give you some news for free. After all, the news will naturally spread in a while."

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads, looking ready to listen attentively.

After all, the most talked about thing among these people recently was the legendary ancient ruin.

Tuze said, "Our group was among the first to receive the news. Everyone also knows that Wasteland Reclamation of ruins means great opportunities. We went with this mentality, and then the nightmare began. There are a large number of ferocious twisted monsters in the underground caves near the ruin, and they will attack the Wasteland Reclamation Groups at any time... We lost a batch of brothers and finally touched the edge of the city, only to find that there are many cursed spaces in the city, Grade A, Grade S, and even Grade T..."

"As far as I know, our Red Knight Group is considered to have suffered relatively few casualties. The mortality rate of other groups entering the ruin has exceeded 90%, and some have even been completely wiped out. This is only the periphery of the ruin, and no one can go deep into the city now..."

"..."

Tuze spoke very carefully, and the crisis between the lines made people's scalps tingle, as if they had personally experienced that nightmarish Wasteland Reclamation trip.

After listening, everyone around the stone table fell into deep thought.

Suren didn't care about any ruins. Wealth that exceeds one's ability to control is just adding to the troubles.

He only felt... even more of a pain in the ass.

He had clearly discovered a very strong thread, enough to make his puppet control have a qualitative leap.

But now you're telling me that the thing is in a ruin with a survival rate of less than 10%?

Suren was in a bit of a dilemma...

.......

Tuze continued, "Now, most of those still in the ruins are the slave Wasteland Reclamation Groups of the inner city's large chaebols... Probably no one who has actually been there and come back wants to go again. I even guess that some guys in the inner city discovered that ruin at first, but they found that they couldn't handle it with their own people, so they deliberately leaked the news. Now, large Wasteland Reclamation camps are being built next to the ruins. It seems that before long, the chaebols will organize large-scale Wasteland Reclamation operations to clear the ruins..."

Some people risk their lives to Wasteland Reclamation, while the chaebols hold money in the city walls and wait to buy it. This is also a normal routine.

At this time, someone else asked.

"Chief Tuze, may I ask, how was your group's harvest from that Wasteland Reclamation trip?"

"I can only say... it's worth the sacrifices of those brothers."

This was obviously a humble statement.

Everyone could imagine that the harvest from Wasteland Reclamation was definitely very amazing.

Everyone had fully understood the dangerousness of those ruins from the mouth of this senior Wasteland Reclamation Group leader.

But after all, those present were not ordinary people, but high-level professionals.

After a moment of silence, someone spoke again, "Chief Tuze, I need the detailed route and all the information from your group's last Wasteland Reclamation trip. Name a price. If possible, I would like to hire a few members of your group who have walked this road as 'guides'."

Tuze asked in surprise, "Are you still planning to go?"

The man nodded, "I've been stuck at the peak of Tier 2 for a long time, and I can't find the advanced materials I need in the city. This discovery of 'Dawn City' is probably my only chance. I must go and try my luck..."

With this said, the other cloaked figures didn't stand idle and spoke one after another.

"Sell me a copy of the information too. I happen to have a few slave groups under my command that I can send to try their luck."

"Hehe, danger also means gain, sell me a copy too."

"I plan to form a Wasteland Reclamation Group of high-level professionals and will post it on the recruitment board of the Wasteland Reclamation Guild in a while. Those who are interested can come and meet up..."

"..."

The presence of cursed spaces also means the presence of a large number of ancient high-level cursed objects, and even sealed objects!

This is not generally tempting.

Even if it is really a one-in-ten chance of survival, it constantly stimulates people's gambling nerves.

If they survive, they will make a big profit.

With Tuze's words, more than a dozen people around the round table all spoke up to buy a copy of the information.

Suren sighed slightly as he listened.

Hopefully... when they come back, they can bring back some hair.

He was also grateful that Mr. Black had recommended him to this small circle, so he also had access to high-level alchemical materials and knowledge.

......

Not long after, the small gathering ended. Suren rode his bike back to Green Street from the black market, only to find a sneaky guy anxiously waiting for something at the entrance of his basement.

He felt very surprised that someone had actually found his residence?

"Are you waiting for me?"
