“No way, you all bought them?”
“You didn’t buy any? 100 purple crystal coins each. A common Lord certainly can’t afford them. From the looks of it, his two thousand-plus stock must have been completely bought out by us.”
“Damn it… I really thought he only had 100 left each time, and they sold so fast. If I didn’t buy some, wouldn’t I be left behind by you all?”
“Actually, we could have discussed it beforehand… As long as no one bought, the competitive landscape wouldn’t change. Now look, all the money in my pocket is gone.”
“Keep competing, keep competing! 100 purple crystal coins, he dares to sell, but I don’t even dare to look! Does he really think my money grows on trees?”
“Stop complaining, if you’re broke, you’re broke! If your treasury had anything, you’d buy faster than anyone! But speaking of which, did the Civilization Level Leap add a hidden mechanism that consumes prestige? My prestige inexplicably dropped by 1 point. Yesterday, I clearly had 100 left, but just now it suddenly became 99.”
“Hurry up and grind for points. There’s no hope for this year’s Newcomer King. Lin Yi’s talent is fully displayed, and his strength is unfathomable. That kid surnamed Long is also strange; secure a top five, aim for a top three.”
“…”
Zhou Yi closed the internal communication group of his small circle and sighed as he looked at the private message that had not yet received a reply.
The task arranged by his family would likely not be completed.
“I was indeed right; there is a hidden prestige consumption mechanism.”
Recalling the communication information from other noble scions in the group just now.
Zhou Yi opened the current prestige value bar, staring at the balance, a look of confusion appearing on his pale face.
In the Trial Land, recruiting heroes, building structures… in all aspects, the importance of prestige points was undeniable.
Any numerical fluctuation tugged at the Lords’ sensitive nerves.
“Is this a Tier 2 Civilization…”
“Forget it, I can’t figure it out…”
Zhou Yi took out a snow-white handkerchief, lightly coughed into it, and turned his attention to the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield.
The second wave of invading fierce beasts had been completely annihilated. The last wave would definitely be magical beasts!
The remaining time… it just depended on how much they could snatch from others…
…
“Do you want to hear what you just said?”
Kasilian, sitting on a rock, lowered his head, staring at the trembling Kobold on the ground, which was not even as tall as his ankle.
“Great Lord Kasilian, I swear to all the gods! It really was just the time it took to turn around and fart, and that Obsidian Tungsten in the warehouse suddenly disappeared!”
The Kobold was prostrate on the ground, its trembling voice distorting its words.
As if personally named by the Lord of Death, its body twitched uncontrollably.
As the party involved, it couldn’t even believe what had happened!
Let alone the Star Titan Lord from a top civilization opposite him…
“Is that so?”
A dull, thunderous sound, as if to burst eardrums, came from above the Kobold’s head.
It secretly raised its eyes, only to see that massive toenail, moving!
The momentum was immense, unstoppable.
Squish!
The Kobold was crushed into a puddle of flesh by a light purple foot.
“Find that ore.”
“Otherwise, I will sacrifice your hearts.”
Kasilian looked to the side, at a group of Kobolds who had soiled themselves.
Those enormous, deep, star-like eyes showed a hint of annoyance.
Super Love Farming…
A nickname he had never heard of!
He had originally intended to use stellar divination, but the spell materials failed at a critical moment.
Thinking that this was a task given to him by Hope Moss, Kasilian couldn’t help but repeatedly grind his foot into the ground.
The unlucky Kobold was completely turned into a viscous puddle of flesh, merging with the soil.
“My Lord, your loyal servants have arrived with the trial materials they collected!”
A giant, entirely silver-white and fully clad in metal armor, came to the rock, knelt on one knee, and respectfully reported.
“Are there any un-subdued lower-tier alien race remaining in the surrounding area?” Kasilian asked.
If he did not complete the task assigned by Hope Moss.
Only by achieving an excellent ranking on the overall trial leaderboard would he have a chance to enter the War Sanctuary and have his own followers in the future.
“There are three more, My Lord needn’t worry. Once the three waves of trials are over, all their points will belong to you!”
“Good, go collect some more unopened treasure chests to trade for divination materials.”
…
“Well, I almost underestimated your purchasing power!”
Seeing the nearly 230,000 new purple crystal coins in his treasury, Lin Yi was astonished by the noble Lords’ spending power.
He had initially put them up for 100 purple crystal coins each, just to try.
In less than half an hour, the rare weapons stockpiled in his warehouse were completely sold out.
One must know.
This was no small sum!
According to his understanding, on Blue Star itself, the annual military pay for a thousand-person Tier 4 legion was only 340,000 purple crystal coins.
These were just some Tier 2 equipment made of iron ingots, yet they earned far more than their actual worth.
Based on this feat alone, Lin Yi felt that once word got out, it would become a popular learning material.
“It should be related to the Civilization Level Leap.”
Lin Yi rubbed his chin in thought.
With the promotion to Tier 2 Civilization, the trial rewards naturally increased significantly.
These noble Lords, at this stage, naturally weren’t afraid of Tier 2 magical beasts invading their territories.
What they pursued was a more efficient way to gain points, hoping to achieve an excellent ranking once the trials were locked in.
This was the fundamental reason why the equipment was so popular for a time.
“The price might even go higher…”
Lin Yi’s thought had just arisen when he shook his head, dismissing it.
“No, that won’t work. Those nobles probably don’t have much money left in their pockets. If it were any more expensive, they probably wouldn’t buy a single piece.”
“The equipment I craft next should be sold to those common Lords. A stable income of several thousand purple crystal coins a day is also good.”
Collecting his thoughts.
Lin Yi looked up at the night sky, and a massive white shadow suddenly swooped down towards him.
“Roar——”
Big White landed not far away, shaking its head and sticking out its tongue. Seeing that Lin Yi had no intention of hitting it, it narrowed its vertical pupils and ingratiatingly extended its head towards Lin Yi.
“You rascal.”
Lin Yi gently stroked the giant dragon’s smooth, delicate scales, but his face was fierce as he said, “Anyway, you can be resurrected after being killed. If you lick me again, I’ll definitely stew you!”
“Woof woof~”
Big White sat on the ground, blinking its eyes pitifully, and uttered a few obscure syllables from its throat.
“I just want to play with Master…”
“Master, don’t be angry.”
Lin Yi: ?
At first, Lin Yi thought he had eaten too many mushrooms and was hallucinating.
How could he inexplicably hear Big White talking in his mind?
“I just came out of the Sanctuary and received my racial inheritance!”
Big White instantly knew his confusion, a human-like proud smile appeared on its face, and it bared its teeth as it leaned in.
After not seeing him for a day, its head, which had grown a bit more, rubbed against Lin Yi’s chest.
“Inheritance Sanctuary!”
“That fast!”
Lin Yi glanced at Big White’s shoulder height, which was nearly a meter, and felt eager to try, “You rascal, stand still!”
He commanded.
At the same time, he took out the Dragon Reins from his storage ring, along with that Saint-level, incredibly cool barding armor!
