Good stuff! "This is really good stuff!"

As Gu Xi was thinking, someone next to him said something.

Gu Xi looked up and saw a chubby player staring at the [Crystal Palace Secret Chamber] in his hand from afar.

"You recognize him?"

Gu Xi glanced at the player.

"Yes, I've seen things like that before." The player smiled and then extended his hand to Gu Xi. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Chris. I've been doing business in the market for a long time. That treasure chest stall over there is mine."

You're holding the entrance to the secret room, right? Is it underwater or underground? How long does it take?

"It's placed in the water, lasts for fifteen minutes. Do you know the Crystal Palace? It's a type of the Dragon Palace."

"No need to say anything more. It seems you're not familiar with our guild's situation yet. I know the Dragon Palace well, but you got a good deal this time. You only had fifteen minutes in the Dragon Palace's treasure vault. You really struck gold."

"So, how about it? Will this sell?"

"Ha?"

Gu Xi looked at Chris's confident expression and was somewhat puzzled.

"You may not know this, but once the door to this kind of secret room is opened, anyone can go in. Even if a hundred or eighty people go in at the same time, it won't be a problem, because the space inside will expand or shrink as the number of people entering changes."

It's a bit of a waste for you to use this secret room all by yourself.

This is the most suitable place to open to the public and charge admission fees.

"And this is fifteen minutes, I used to get five minutes."

Chris explained the reason behind it.

However, Gu Xi asked with some confusion, "Why do you think I would sell it to you? I can do the method you described myself, and I can also charge admission fees."

"Because you haven't built a reputation yet. Don't be fooled by the fact that they're all flocking to you to buy things now. If you were to say that you'd open a treasure chest in fifteen minutes, they wouldn't come and gamble with you on it."

But I can do that. They all know who I am, and most importantly, they are willing to listen when I speak.

I told them it was time to come out, and they definitely did.

You can't do that, can you?

No matter how many treasure chests you can open or how much supplies you can transport, you can never get much by yourself.

"Sell this to me, and I can double the profit."

Gu Xi now understood Chris's thoughts, but he just smiled.

"So what price are you willing to pay? If I go in alone, I'm sure I can get a hundred or two hundred treasure chests in one go. I'll have my undead subordinates carry them away, and that'll be at least five trips to empty them."

Listening to Gu Xi's words, Chris understood that Gu Xi had basically agreed, and now it was time to negotiate.

So he directly stated his offer.

"I know you're on the path of the Death City and the Death Avatar. I have three items here that are perfect for your current situation. I think even if you can open treasure chests, you definitely won't get these three items."

Chris confidently opened the box.

Gu Xi glanced inside and found a sickle, a pickaxe, and something that looked like a land deed.

[Despair Scythe (Blue): A component used by the Grim Reaper. It can be equipped on the Death Avatar to enhance its Death Avatar capabilities.]

[Engineering Team Camp Building Design Blueprint (Medium): Builds an Engineering Team Camp (medium-sized building) in the city using 500 resources, 10 units of stone, and 10 units of wood. It can support two other buildings in the city simultaneously (cannot be upgraded)]

[Building: Despair Mage Tower (Level 4 Outpost)]

Building Name: Despair Mage Tower Level: 4

Troops stationed: 0 (0/5, up to five troops can be stationed, limited to Magic Unit)

Stationed leaders: 0 (0/8, up to eight leaders can be stationed)

Garrisoned Soldiers: 0 (0/1000, can garrison 1000 soldiers) Garrisoned Unit Type: Magic Unit

Attached building: Mana Pool (not yet built)

Note: Hero can be stationed in buildings at level 7, and leaders can be stationed in buildings at level 15.

Upon seeing the properties of these three items, Gu Xi realized that this person had outmaneuvered him.

He really liked these three items.

Even if the Despair Scythe is not needed right now, the Despair Mage Tower is definitely something we can use right now.

Gu Xi thought for a moment and did not immediately agree. He thought about it seriously before saying, "Do you know about the Fish Dragon Bone of the Corpse Bone Fish Dragon Guild? I want ten portions of copper bones."

Gu Xi's price increase hit Chris right where it hurts.

Chris thought about it and realized that if he agreed, he wouldn't earn much.

However, if we don't give in, Gu Xi probably won't let go.

"Okay, but the copper bone supply is currently insufficient and will not arrive for another half hour. I'll go and arrange it now."

Gu Xi glanced at Chris and then placed the [Crystal Palace Secret Chamber] in front of Chris.

Chris understood that all they were missing now was ten sets of Fish Dragon Bone; the rest had been agreed upon.

Now all they're missing is ten sets of Fish Dragon Bone.

In Gu Xi and Chris's view, this was just an extra bonus, and neither of them would owe it anything.

Therefore, the transaction was completed immediately.

Once the [Crystal Palace Secret Chamber] was handed over, all the players who had been surrounding the area dispersed.

They all realized that Chris was about to open the Crystal Palace, and they were definitely going to try and steal it.

If we don't grab it now, when will we?

After everyone had dispersed, Li Xinghui, who had been standing to the side, finally came over.

"I never expected you to make this choice."

"At first I didn't want to gamble, but he said he was a merchant who gambled on treasure chests, and then I understood what was going on. There were treasures in the Crystal Palace, but the quality of the treasure chests was definitely lower."

Even if I'm a great mover, how much can I actually transport?

Besides, these things came right to my doorstep. The Despair Scythe might not be much, but the Despair Mage Tower is quite useful to me.

Not to mention the construction crew; that thing could double the speed at which my Death City is built.

Gu Xi knew very well what he needed right now.

As his Hero grew, his troops became increasingly scattered.

At this point, the base became the building that Gu Xi needed most.

However, the base requires a large plot of land, and Hero need to be at least level 7 to be stationed there.

Starting from level 1 and slowly building a base, who knows how long that will take.

This level 4 outpost right from the start is quite useful for Gu Xi, as it saves Gu Xi a lot of time.

Not to mention construction teams that can start work on two buildings at the same time.

For Gu Xi, anything that can save time for Aryadovi City is a good thing.

As for the supplies in the treasure vault, they can't compare to the passage of time.

Seeing that Gu Xi was on his way, Li Xinghui didn't say anything more. He also headed towards the direction where the players were gathered, intending to try his luck in the Crystal Palace Secret Chamber.

As for the entrance fee, it's not high at all; it's only about one-twentieth of the treasure chests you find inside the Crystal Palace Secret Chamber.

No one would open the treasure chests inside the Crystal Palace Secret Chamber; they would bring them all out first.

In addition, the treasure chests are all the same size and shape, so they are quite easy to count.

Most of the treasure chests that Chris brought to his stall for gambling on were obtained in this way, so no one complained about them.
