Lin Yuan frowned as he looked at the reply.
Freezing Cold: “10 o’clock is fine. I’ll be there. I need to see the Bronze/Epic lizard feys in this meeting. I also have some conditions that I need to state in advance.”
When Lin Yuan had sent the trade message, Freezing Cold was the king-class expert with two main feys among the two king-class experts.
Freezing Cold had three Willpower Runes and two main feys, and it was considered a good allocation among the king-class experts. Therefore, Lin Yuan had enhanced a Bronze/Epic lizard fey when he had asked him whether he had one.
From the personal information that Freezing Cold had sent over, his two contracted feys were a Diamond III/Fantasy II Bucktooth Terror Skink and a Diamond I/Fantasy II Swordtooth Lizard Dragon.
In terms of strength, Freezing Cold was inferior to Fei Qianqiong. Still, his Diamond I/Fantasy II Swordtooth Lizard Dragon had completed the transformation from a lizard bloodline to a dragon bloodline and had a lot of potential.
Lin Yuan, who showed an interest in Freezing Cold’s potential, didn’t have any available king-class experts under him, so he had met Freezing Cold’s conditions in advance. Otherwise, given Freezing Cold’s strength, he wasn’t really qualified to propose such conditions.
It was just like how the pinnacle king-class experts’ squad that Lightning Sparrow King was in needed to gather resources and had spent a small amount of effort for a Bronze/Epic fey.
As the saying went, “One should have respect for the wise.”
Since Lin Yuan was ready to implement the ‘white-clothed followers’ plan, he wouldn’t be stingy with resources for the capable. However, this plan was not easy to implement. The premise was that he needed absolute control.
Lin Yuan had already drawn a question mark in his heart about this king-class expert named Freezing Cold.
The white-clothed follower plan was to form the Sky City and sweep the swords in all directions. What all sharp weapons, like a sword, needed to do was to be obedient. Otherwise, no matter how sharp it was, it would hurt him.
However, Lin Yuan didn’t directly exclude Freezing Cold as he intended to meet him before making a decision.
It was still early now. Since Lin Yuan had nothing to do, he went to his store’s fan club, ready to look through the chat records.
After flipping through, he found that a night had passed.
The members were still enthusiastically discussing the 30 Flower Brocade Pearls that were auctioned as welfare. Thus, every member’s bid would be seen by all the group members.
Every time someone bid with new prices, they would be praised by the others in the groups and be called ‘Big Brothers’.
Over time, other members would increase the bid again, together with the uproar from the braised egg head, the violent-tempered woman, the violent-tempered woman’s daughter, the Buddha-tempered person, and Zhou Jiaxin.
Lin Yuan found that the 30 Flower Brocade Pearls auction, which was used as group welfare, had vaguely turned into a ranking competition for the Big Brothers in the group.
He saw that the current highest bidder was a Class 4 Creation Master with a source-type item, 250kg of the Gold metal Thorn Aluminum Ores, and 70 mid-grade strange flames.
Lin Yuan looked at this offer and couldn’t help but secretly click his tongue.
A resource like a source-type item was much more precious than Flower Brocade Pearls. In other words, it was hard to exchange the Flower Brocade Pearls for a source-type item.
However, this Class 4 Creation Master was willing to take out a source-type item to exchange for Flower Brocade Pearls now.
This could really reflect a Creation Master’s wealth and overbearingness. They wouldn’t consider the price for something they wanted.
The Thorn Aluminium Ores was a kind of very dangerous metal that could hurt people if left alone. They would constantly release sharp metal sword flares that would hurt any surrounding objects.
After injecting spiritual power into them, the metal sword flares released by the Thorn Aluminium Ores would become even sharper and stronger within an expanded range.
Lin Yuan had once thought of using these ores to fuse with the Source Sand, but he still chose the Day and Night Spirit Silver after weighing the matter.
For Lin Yuan at that time, instead of strengthening his attacks, it was more important to strengthen his defense.
The Thorn Aluminium Ores were rarer than the Day and Night Spirit Silver, and the last time they had been auctioned in the Rare Lifeform Pavilion was eight months ago.
After looking through the group chat records for a while, Lin Yuan found that someone had bid higher than this Class 4 Creation Master.
Lin Yuan was very interested in the 250kg of Thorn Aluminium Ores. He couldn’t help but think that even if this Class 4 Creation Master couldn’t win the final bid, this Class 4 Creation Master should be willing if Lin Yuan exchanged the Flower Brocade Pearls for the Thorn Aluminium Ores with him.
Lin Yuan now felt the huge benefits of the network of relations formed by his Purchase With No Loss store’s fan club members to his own collection of spiritual materials.
After feeling this huge benefit, he dismissed the intention of trading out over 100 Flower Brocade Pearls in his hands with other factions.
He understood through this group welfare auction the terrifying purchasing power of these Big Brothers in the group.
There was still half a day before the end of the group welfare auction, but the bidding price of these 30 Flower Brocade Pearls had already greatly exceeded the market price.
As a result, rather than trading the remaining Flower Brocade Pearls outside, he would auction them through group welfare. This was akin to deepening the toughness and flexibility of the network of relations within the group.
Lin Yuan looked at the 10 Flower Brocade Pearls that were on display in his store and could already imagine that they would stir up a reign of terror once tonight’s display period was over.
He went to check the price for the mid-grade strange flames and found that it had increased a lot compared to before. He blinked his eyes and couldn’t help but think whether this was considered as leveraging the price of mid-grade strange flames.
Lin Yuan went on the Star Web forum and searched about his fan club’s welfare to see if it had spread as he thought it would.
Once he checked it, Lin Yuan was embarrassed. The welfare of his fan club had spread out, but half of these posts he had checked were from lifestyle-class spirit qi professionals scolding him.
