My Perverse Equivalent Exchange System In Doomsday 3 The 'Purchase' Function And The Incomplete Revelation

After his round of experiment with the 'Trade' function, Long Yu gaze moved towards the 'EXCHANGE' platform.

He noticed that it was possible to place an item on it as well. But he ignored it for the moment and focused on the 'search' b.u.t.ton instead.

Willing for it to activate with his mind, a search box appeared above the b.u.t.ton. Long Yu's heartbeat quickened as the 'Purchase' function was the one that he most looked forward to.

Due to his excitement, he did not even realise that he was standing up so straight, that he looked akin to a soldier standing at attention.

Long Yu could not be blamed for his reaction as there was just way too many possibilities. Thoughts of being able to weild unimaginable power and wealth were running wild in his head.

If it was someone else, they would have been so excited that they might even be clenching their chrysanthemum[1].

After spending a good minute to calm his mind, Long Yu finally entered words into the search bar.

'Meow-meow chocolate bar' could be seen written in the interface search bar. It was the same exact brand of the half-eaten candy bar that he previously used in his experiment.

In an instance, a new candy bar like the one on his desk could be seen hovering in front of him. Similarly, the candy wrapper also has an image of a prancing chubby cat on it.

Long Yu found that he could touch and hold the candy bar in his hands. However, it did not feel as if he was holding the real thing. It felt more like a phantom that would disappear at a moment's notice.

When he looked at the figure flas.h.i.+ng above the candy bar, he did not feel surprised at all. Long Yu had predicted that the cost of an item from the system, would either be at normal market price or even higher than that.

Still, seeing the purchase price of 4 yuan, he felt a little unhappy. What 'equivalent exchange'? It was obviously double the market price.

Finis.h.i.+ng his mini rant, Long Yu restarted his experiment. He tested multiple objects to which he knew the market price of.

Alarm clock purchase price:

Market- 6 yuan

System- 12 yuan

Ballpoint black pen:

Market- 0.45 yuan

System- 0.9 yuan

Haven's Spring Mineral Water:

Market- 3 yuan

System- 6 yuan

After this round of experimentation, Long Yu finally confirmed that anything that the system sold would cost twice the market price. At least that was the case for common everyday items.

He had yet to search up any extraordinary items, as he still could not make up his mind. Sometimes, encountering too good of a thing can make one hesitant to use it.

'What do I really want to exchange?'

This thought kept playing in Long Yu's mind like a broken radio.

As he was about to continue testing the 'Purchase' function, something suddenly clicked in his head.

'Right! How did I not think of that?!'

As Long Yu stood motionless in the dark room, he started to relay his thoughts to the system.

'System, is it possible for me to operate the 'Purchase' function through you?'

'Yes, it is possible', the system replied.

Long Yu nodded his head at the system's reply. It was just as he hoped. He was reluctant to waste time fiddling with the search bar every time he needed to look something up.

Next, he gingerly asked the system, 'System, is there an item that I can exchange for, that can bring someone back to life?'

'There is, but it is not possible to exchange for it at the moment.'

Although the answer was a negative one, Long Yu was elated. The system said 'not possible at the moment' and not 'completely impossible'.

This meant that there was a chance. A chance to bring back loved ones from the dead.

The person that Long Yu was thinking of was not his parents, but his little sister Luo Xi.

As he settled down his emotions, a frown appeared on his face. He questioned the system again.

'So when exactly will it be possible?'

'....'

Long Yu felt baffled at the system's silence. It just told him that the exchange that he was looking for was feasible, yet now it did not answer his question.

Just when he was about to question the system once more, its cold mechanical voice suddenly broke the silence in the room.

'The is no existing currency that fits the system's requirement. Therefore, exchanges for items at that level are temporarily impossible.'

Then, the system continued, 'Any further information will need to be purchased by host.'

The system's answer stopped Long Yu in his tracks. He had wanted to ask the system to elaborate, but it had unexpectedly shut him down.

It seems that he could not only purchase items from the system but also information.

Long Yu clicked his tongue after hearing the system's incomplete revelation of his little sister's revival.

'Fine, what do I need to pay to obtain the information?'

This time, there was no delay to the system's answer.

'The price for the information is 500,000 yuan' the system said coolly.

Long Yu's eyes literally bulged out when he heard the figure demanded by the system.

'500,000!? System, are you messing with me? You might as well tell me to go rob a bank!'

'The method that the host decides to use is irrelevant to the system. As long as the payment is provided, the exchange will be made.' There was no change in the system's tone even after hearing Long Yu's outburst.
