Unique Wonder: Dimensional Gate!

"Damn it, as the treasure chests got better, there were actually no Gold Coins or Origin Crystals?" Su Ye thought irritably.

That might have been a good thing for other lords, but it was hardly good news for Su Ye. Once he upgraded his two Barracks later, his Gold Coin reserves would be nearly exhausted.

Damn it.

"Three Troop Refresh Recruitment Cards, and four Barracks Upgrade Cards." Su Ye looked at the two cards he had obtained, thought for a moment, then put them away first.

He would deal with them later. For now, he would not consider upgrading the Barracks.

"Unique Wonder: Dimensional Gate?" Su Ye curiously looked at the Wonder building he had pulled from the treasure chest.

A model of a gate appeared in Su Ye's hand. With curiosity in his eyes, he inspected it.

Name: Dimensional Gate

Level: Unique

Trait 1: Anchor (Can anchor the coordinates of other dimensions or territories previously visited.)

Trait 2: Gate of Time and Space (Sacrifice Origin Crystals to randomly open a Gate of Time and Space. Black Iron x1000, Bronze x10,000, Silver Rank x100,000, Gold x1,000,000, Platinum Rank x10,000,000, Diamond x100,000,000!)

Trait 3: Lockdown (Can seal off the space-time of a dimensional domain. Outsiders cannot discover or sense it, nor can they enter or leave!)

Trait 4: Immortal (Cannot be destroyed!)

Su Ye looked at the traits of the Gate of Time and Space.

"This thing..." Su Ye took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming.

Sacrificing Origin Crystals could open a Gate of Time and Space, which meant he could explore other Dimensional Worlds beyond his own territory whenever he wished.

In the Eternal World, a lord's territory could be understood as a small world. Of course, it was not truly a world yet, but it could be viewed that way—a world floating amid endless darkness.

Every lord's territory was like this. They were not connected, though territories could possibly collide with one another. However, such a possibility was incredibly slim unless there was an invasion.

Naturally, besides lords' territories, the Eternal World also contained other worlds. These worlds likewise had ranks.

The higher the rank, the greater the danger, but the resources within were also exceptionally abundant.

Of course, some dimensions might have been completely destroyed, leaving nothing behind.

Other dimensions still had native creatures living within them. In short, anything could happen.

The Dark Forest Law was the most fitting way to describe it. Every lord was a hunter, but they could also become prey.

Why did lords need to accumulate resources during the novice period? There was only one reason: after the novice period ended, lords would need to Plunder resources themselves.

They would no longer have Void Trials delivered to their doorstep as they did now. Of course, things could still come knocking, but that would not be called a trial—it would be called an invasion.

The Eternal World contained countless worlds, and these worlds had ranks. Some of them even possessed true native gods.

Naturally, worlds this dangerous were generally Diamond Rank and above, not something Su Ye could come into contact with yet. Of course, he could if he wanted to.

He only needed to sacrifice 100 million Origin Crystals to open a world like that.

"This thing burns money." Su Ye looked at the model in his hand.

Then Su Ye placed it directly on the eastern side of his territory.

A massive ancient gate rose from the ground, standing within Su Ye's territory. Its ancient doors towered over the earth, while ripples of space-time continuously flowed across them.

Lilith and the others curiously looked at the ancient gate rising from the ground, but did not pay it much attention after that. They sensed no danger.

Su Ye glanced at the Gate of Time and Space.

He would leave it here for now and consider later whether to open a Gate of Time and Space.

Su Ye opened his Private Chat Panel and looked over his resources.

[Otherworld Traveler: Boss, are you there?]

Su Ye had thought he would need to wait a while, but Lin Xiaoxiao replied instantly.

[Little Merchant: I'm here, I'm here, boss.]

Su Ye looked at Lin Xiaoxiao's reply and said directly,

[Otherworld Traveler: How much is the Seed of Chaos? Also, how much for the Troop Refresh Recruitment Cards?]

In her territory, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Su Ye's message, and her eyes turned into money symbols ($ _ $).

[Little Merchant: Boss, a Seed of Chaos is 1,000 Origin Crystals. I have twelve Troop Refresh Recruitment Cards in total. How about 3,000 Origin Crystals for everything?]

Su Ye looked at Lin Xiaoxiao's reply and did the math. That was roughly the market price. The main issue was that Troop Refresh Recruitment Cards were useful, yet also not particularly useful.

Their prices were not fixed. For ordinary lords, that price was not worth mentioning, but for Su Ye, even 1,000 per card was an excellent deal.

[Otherworld Traveler: Fine. Do you have anything else? Barracks Upgrade Cards, for example? Special resources!]

Seeing Su Ye's words, Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.

[Little Merchant: I have Barracks Upgrade Cards too, but they're a little expensive—10,000 Origin Crystals each. You know the market price for these is unstable too, just like Troop Refresh Recruitment Cards.]

Su Ye fell into thought. Little Merchant actually had Barracks Upgrade Cards. Ten thousand Origin Crystals each—was that expensive? Very. For ordinary Barracks, the resources needed for a single upgrade did not cost that much.

[Otherworld Traveler: Help me collect them. I'll take however many you can get. I don't have that many Origin Crystals right now, so we'll trade later.]

Seeing Su Ye's words, Lin Xiaoxiao looked slightly conflicted before finally making up her mind.

[Little Merchant: No problem, boss. I have five on hand right now. If you need them, I'll send them to you now. You can give me the Origin Crystals once you have them.]

Su Ye had not expected Lin Xiaoxiao to say something like that. He stared blankly at her message.

[Otherworld Traveler: Why are you doing this?]

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled when she saw Su Ye's message.

[Little Merchant: Boss, let's call it a happy partnership. We've traded so many times already—I still trust you.]

Su Ye saw two words in Lin Xiaoxiao's message: investment!

[Otherworld Traveler: Thanks.]

[Little Merchant: Boss, I've sent the trade request. Please accept it.]

[Otherworld Traveler: Mm.]

Su Ye looked at the trade request Lin Xiaoxiao had sent him and accepted it directly.

One Seed of Chaos, twelve Troop Refresh Recruitment Cards, and five Barracks Upgrade Cards came to a total of 3,000 Origin Crystals.

Naturally, he had not paid for the five Barracks Upgrade Cards.

After the trade was completed, Lin Xiaoxiao sent Su Ye another message.

[Little Merchant: Boss, do you still need these materials?]

[Otherworld Traveler: I'm not in a hurry for materials, but please help me collect Troop Refresh Recruitment Cards and Barracks Upgrade Cards. I'll get you the Origin Crystals as soon as possible. Thanks for the trouble.]

[Little Merchant: OK, no problem. You get busy, boss. I'm off.]
