Chapter 103
Furthermore, this is Player Association with many skilled players, so there's virtually no chance of anything going wrong.
The three of them went over and saw a group of players surrounding a middle-aged man.
Upon inquiring, it was discovered that this player had obtained an extremely sought-after upgrade material: the Flame Mage Handbook.
Everyone else is asking about the price.
Mage units, especially the most destructive fire mages, are a common unit type kept in many players' territories.
Whether in the early or mid-to-late game, mages perform exceptionally well on the battlefield, and many players cultivate them as their main unit.
Especially after advancing to a higher level, a mage's offensive and destructive power will undergo a qualitative change.
This player, having anticipated this, offered a high price of nine million, almost two or three times the price of other Transcendent advancement materials.
Shen Xing's expression shifted slightly; he also wanted this Flame Mage Handbook.
Coincidentally, the new hero we recently recruited, Leina, is a fire mage.
Shen Xing thought for a moment, then stepped forward to negotiate with the player, hoping to exchange the [Silver Sacred Fruit] for it.
After all, he still had 5 sacred fruits. After deducting the ones he had prepared for several main troop types, he still had one or two that he could trade.
The player was also tempted after hearing about the amplification effect of the Silver Sacred Fruit, but he was only willing to exchange it for three Sacred Fruits.
Shen Xing felt that this guy was trying to raise the price too much.
After all, according to market prices, a single Silver Sacred Fruit is worth over four million.
Exchanging two for the Flame Mage Handbook was already the limit he could accept.
The player insisted on three coins and wouldn't budge, leaving Shen Xing with no choice but to abandon the deal.
"Let's go, let's leave." Shen Xing pushed his wheelchair out of the crowd.
"Shen Xing, do you have fire magic in your territory?" Qin Lang asked curiously as he watched him go up to ask the price.
"Yeah, I just hired one yesterday," Shen Xing replied casually.
Qin Lang was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Wait for me, I'll go get it for you."
Chapter 83: The Flame Mage Handbook, Hero Advancement
"Take it down?"
Shen Xing was puzzled, then quickly realized and said, "No need. If I wanted it, I would have traded it myself. It's just that this guy is trying to rip me off, and I don't want to get ripped off."
"Don't worry, when have you ever seen me get scammed?" Qin Lang smiled confidently. "Wait for my good news."
As he spoke, he stepped forward alone and whispered a few words to the player.
The player's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he then went aside with Qin Lang to discuss the matter in detail.
Shen Xing didn't know what they were talking about. There seemed to be some kind of special device in the second-floor trading area that could suppress the power of these lords, and their hearing became almost like that of a normal person.
However, judging from the player's beaming face, the conversation must have been quite pleasant.
A moment later, Qin Lang took out his phone and scanned the QR code, seemingly adding the other party as a friend.
Then he turned around and walked back, holding a dark red booklet in his hand.
"You actually got it!?" Xu Jiayi asked in surprise, "What did you say to that player?"
"It's a secret." Qin Lang smiled mysteriously.
Shen Xing looked at him suspiciously. "You didn't actually agree to give him nine million, did you?"
Xu Jiayi added, "It's also possible that she sold her body; I saw they added each other as friends."
"Screw you guys, even if I'm poor, I'd never sell myself, would I?" Qin Lang cursed, then added, "Don't worry, I've had some lucky encounters in the game lately, so I won't lose out on this deal."
Shen Xing said no more, knowing that he wanted to repay the Knight's Proof he had given him.
As a longtime friend, Qin Lang might accept his help without expressing gratitude or saying much.
But he will remember it and get his revenge when he has the chance.
"It's been withdrawn, it's been withdrawn."
Qin Lang shoved the dark red booklet into Shen Xing's arms, then pushed the wheelchair into the elevator.
The three left the Player Association.
The car drove along the bustling street, the sky overcast and gloomy.
A light drizzle was still falling, and the air in the entire Jiangcheng seemed to have become much more humid.
While in the car, Shen Xing suddenly asked, "By the way, Qin Lang, are you free lately?"
"I'm free, what's up?" Qin Lang replied casually, gripping the steering wheel.
"Then please keep an eye out for houses in Jiangcheng for me."
The other two people in the car were both stunned for a moment.
"Keep an eye on houses... are you moving?" Qin Lang asked curiously.
"Yes."
Shen Xing nodded. He admitted that he was a superficial person; he wanted to spend the money he had just earned, buying this and that.
Now I'm actually thinking of leaving that rented room I've been holed up in for years and moving to a bigger house.
But isn't the point of making money to live a better life? Otherwise, what's the point?
The Land of Mist need significant resource investment for development, but our own living conditions in reality can't be too bad either.
"Yeah, your place is really too remote, and it's in a high-rise building, which is very inconvenient."
Qin Lang seemed thoughtful, then asked, "Approximately what price range? What are the requirements for the house?"
Shen Xing thought for a moment and replied, "Within one or two million, I'd like a larger space with better privacy."
"I also want to visualize military units at home and practice my real-world control skills."
Their eyes lit up upon hearing this.
"That's right, we really need to practice controlling the different types of units in real life!" Qin Lang slapped the steering wheel and said decisively, "Looks like we have to buy this house!"
After all, the units in the game are much stronger than the lords.
Those Transcendent Rank units can destroy a building with a single blow.
If Shen Xing were to summon someone in the rented apartment, and things weren't handled properly, it could end up on the news the next day.
So apart from those two times in the Mist Void Realm and the Player Association, they haven't summoned any units to the real world since, so their control skills haven't improved at all.
"Leave it to me, I'll definitely find you a nice, big house."
Qin Lang nodded happily. "That way, once Shen Xing buys a house, we'll have a place to hang out."
Xu Jiayi rolled her eyes from the back seat. "That's his home, not some kind of activity center."
"What do you mean 'his's' and 'my's'? We're all buddies, no need to be so formal." Qin Lang laughed heartily.
During the conversation, the three of them returned to their respective homes.
Clang.
Closing the door to the rented room also blocked out outside noise.
Shen Xing leaned back in her wheelchair, sorting out the thoughts in her mind.
I gained a lot from this trip.
"Including the advancement material Qin Lang gave me, there are a total of six items that need to be transferred into the game."
"Based on my previous rate of delivering a maximum of two items per day, it would take three days to complete the entire task."
"However... after consuming the Silver Sacred Fruit, my mental attributes have increased dramatically, so I should be able to transfer more things now?"
After thinking for a moment, Shen Xing decided to put it into practice immediately.
He took out his black briefcase and retrieved three items: the mage's manual, the Windmill Blueprint, and the mysterious food processing plant, preparing for the first batch of teleportations.
The remaining Nest Enhancement Stone, as well as Strength Gem and Flame Gem, will be delivered in the second batch tomorrow.
Because the Orc unit's lair is still at Common Two Stars, it will take some time to upgrade it to three stars, and then to Elite.
These gems can only be inlaid in nests of Elite Rank or higher, and are not needed at present.
Thinking of this, he stretched out his arm, revealing the Flower of Mist that existed between reality and illusion.
A familiar gray mist billowed out, enveloping the three things in front of them.
A sense of detachment washed over me from deep within my mind, a sign that my mental energy was rapidly depleting.
A moment later, as the gray fog dissipated, the objects in front of them had vanished.
"It's done!"
Shen Xing was overjoyed. Just as he had guessed, he could now teleport three items every day.
He immediately pushed the wheelchair into the bedroom and put on his glasses.
"Buzz..."
The view shifted instantly, and the warmth of the Bonfire enveloped us.
[Your territory building: Bonfire Lv5 → Great Bonfire Lv1, lighting range has been greatly improved, new building ability 'Embers of the Long Night' added]
[Your territory buildings: Houses have been completed...]
[Your territory building: Ice Arrow Tower has been upgraded...]
[Your territory buildings...]
The notifications flashed by, and the territory was once again undergoing a brand new change.
Shen Xing opened his eyes and saw that the territory had expanded several times over, as if it had suddenly become much more open.
Bonfire firelight reached an astonishing 400 meters, revealing vast expanses of black earth.
In the center of the territory, ten small wooden houses rose from the ground, bringing the total number of dwellings in the territory to twenty.
Along the edge of the city wall, 12 arrow towers, 8 blue Ice Arrow Tower, and 4 white lighthouses stand side by side, creating a sense of security.
"What was once a small village is now developing into a town."
Shen Xing sighed with satisfaction, a contented smile on his face.
Then look towards the center of the territory, at the Great Bonfire that has been completely renovated.
"The system just notified us that the Bonfire has activated a special ability after this upgrade. Let's see what it does."
He opened the Bonfire panel.
[Great Bonfire: Level 1]
