Buying World Origin Potions, Creating Equipment for a New Hero
Shen Hui and the others entered a private room in the World Association.
Ye Long said, "I came here with my dad today. He has a meeting, while I came to hang out. It's been ages since I last came here."
"I didn't expect to run into you guys. Hahaha!"
"Who asked you that? Did something happen?"
Shen Hui cut Ye Long off to save himself from having to listen to more of his rambling.
Qingxue asked as well, "These are all the top fighters in our region, right? Something important must have happened."
Ye Long lowered his voice and chuckled. "Of course I know. I heard about it from my dad, though I don't know much."
This time, Ye Long didn't ramble. He continued:
"They came here for a meeting about the foreign races in the Starry Sky Battlefield."
"The seal on the alternate-space passage seems to have weakened recently."
After saying that, Ye Long looked at Shen Hui and Qingxue.
"That's all?"
Shen Hui asked, sounding unsure.
Ye Long nodded, confirming that he really had finished.
Qingxue pursed her lips, looking a little speechless.
The news wasn't all that shocking to them.
After all, news of the passage's seal weakening came out from time to time every year.
But Ye Long put on a mysterious expression.
"But I've got another rumor."
"It seems the foreign races are carrying out some kind of operation against us. It might put the people on Blue Star in danger."
After hearing this, Shen Hui and Qingxue looked at each other.
They clearly didn't believe him.
The foreign races were sealed off behind the alternate-space passage. Even if they got out when the seal weakened, they would still be in the Starry Sky Battlefield.
Humanity's powerful experts were stationed there too. How could the people on Blue Star possibly be put in danger?
There had only been one crisis involving the foreign races on Blue Star: when they first invaded.
Back then, people had no experience, and humanity had only just begun awakening World Origin and becoming World Creators. Those who awakened were extremely rare.
Moreover, back then, quite a few people believed the foreign races had come to lead Blue Star toward common progress.
They sided with the foreign races.
That period could be called Blue Star's darkest and most turbulent time.
But the foreign races revealed their evil claws, and humanity pulled through, driving them all away.
After that, the Starry Sky Battlefield was established, and Blue Star had never faced danger again.
So it wasn't that Shen Hui and Qingxue didn't believe Ye Long; they simply had no reason to.
Seeing their expressions, Ye Long seemed to have anticipated this.
"I told you, it's just a rumor. It might be true, or it might not."
Shen Hui stood up. Now that his curiosity was satisfied, there was no need to waste any more time here.
"Don't worry about it. I'm going to buy some World Origin Potions, then head to the Borderlands."
Qingxue said, "Then I'll come with you. I want to see what they have for sale too. I might as well spend the money I've got."
Ye Long chimed in as well. "I'll tag along with you two. I came here to have fun anyway."
"Fine, let's go."
Shen Hui, Qingxue, and Ye Long headed toward the area where things were sold.
A few people were there, buying things or selling special resources they could bring out of their worlds.
To sell things, people dealt with the World Association's staff. To buy things, they operated the machines.
There were many tall display-screen machines on the floor, listing the items for sale.
Anyone could view them after verifying their Association membership.
Shen Hui pressed his thumb against one of them for fingerprint verification.
Then some information appeared.
[Welcome, Intermediate Association Member Shen Hui] [Based on your Association rank, you will receive a 20% discount on certain purchases]
A 20% discount could save him quite a bit of money.
That was the advantage of being an intermediate member.
Qingxue was using a machine nearby.
Ye Long looked at Shen Hui's screen, then at Qingxue's.
"Wow, you're both intermediate Association members!"
Shen Hui stared at the electronic screen and replied without turning around, "The branch president gave us both this reward, directly upgrading us to intermediate Association members."
Like Shen Hui, Qingxue kept her eyes on the screen and answered without looking back:
"You're still a basic Association member, aren't you? Oh, right. You hardly ever come to the World Association."
Ye Long complained indignantly, "But I still came in second. How come I didn't get a reward like that?"
"No way. I'm going to find my dad when I get back and get him to arrange one for me."
Only then did Shen Hui glance at Ye Long. That was the privilege of being a second-generation son. It was something he could only envy.
Then Shen Hui turned his attention back to the electronic screen.
It listed all kinds of items and materials.
[Low-Level Mine Card]: 150,000 World Coins [Low-Level Time Flow Rate Card]: 250,000 World Coins [Low-Level Fortuitous Opportunity Card]: 12,000,000 World Coins ...
Shen Hui looked at the screen. There was a dizzying variety of items.
Although they were all low-level items, the prices of different cards varied enormously.
Many of the card items were also designed for specific purposes.
For example, a Low-Level Mine Card created a mine inside a world.
Resources like minerals were generally only useful for technological civilizations.
Shen Hui had never seen any items targeted at a Death World like his.
It wasn't impossible that such items existed, but they were definitely extremely rare.
So Shen Hui went straight to the item he needed: World Origin Power Potions.
[Low-Level World Origin Potion]: 1,000,000 (Limit of 10 bottles per week) [Intermediate World Origin Potion]: 3,000,000 (Limit of 5 bottles per week) [High-Level World Origin Potion]: 7,000,000 (Limit of 3 bottles per week)
World Origin Potions were the energy that formed the foundation of a world, making them both the most important and the most sought-after resource.
So World Origin Potions could only be purchased through official channels under real-name restrictions.
For example, if Shen Hui bought 10 Low-Level World Origin Potions from the World Association,
he could still try to buy more from outside stores, but since he had used up his weekly quota, he wouldn't be able to purchase any there either.
Of course, he could also pay a high price on the black market, where no such restrictions applied.
But that wasn't something Shen Hui could worry about.
After all, he only had so much money on him.
Based on value for money, Low-Level World Origin Potions were naturally the best choice.
One bottle provided 150 World Origin Power.
Shen Hui bought six bottles straight away.
They cost 6,000,000 World Coins in total, or 4,800,000 after the 20% discount.
He saved over a million, which was a great deal.
Shen Hui had 1,400,000 World Coins left, which he could use to challenge the Borderlands.
Once the potions had been exchanged, Shen Hui could either take them away or use them there.
Naturally, Shen Hui chose to use them there. He said goodbye to Qingxue and Ye Long.
Shen Hui went to a single-person lounge nearby, planning to use the World Origin Potions.
Soon, a staff member brought them in.
Without hesitation, Shen Hui drank them all.
A total of 900 World Origin Power flowed into his world.
The Land of New Life in Shen Hui's world was the area he had created to block out the aura of death.
Now, because his world's level wasn't high enough, he couldn't expand it any further.
So Shen Hui planned to use this World Origin Power to create some things and heroes.
