Chapter 169
"According to market prices, Dark Gem will give you 34,000 contribution points, and Tier Two Boss Rank Soul will give you 7,000 contribution points." Ding Han looked at Shen Xing: "What do you think?"
"No problem."
Shen Xing nodded and continued, "How quickly will this batch of materials arrive?"
"The materials, the [Advanced Blacksmith's Manual], and the first batch of thirty Black Moon Knight Scroll will be delivered to your home within 48 hours."
Ding Han replied, "We will also complete the allocation of the remaining seventy Black Moon Knight Scroll within three days. Is that speed acceptable to you?"
"Can."
"Okay, then it'll be a pleasure working with you."
Ding Han smiled and extended his hand, shaking hands politely with Shen Xing.
Then, he picked up the two souls on the table, as well as the Dark Gem, and carefully put them into a box.
Then take a photo and upload it.
Within seconds, Shen Xing received a text message on his phone.
[Dear Mr. Shen Xing, your Pioneer account has received 18,000 contribution points.]
This time he sold three items, earning a total of 134,000 contribution points.
The purchase of materials, scrolls, and manuals cost a total of 116,000. After this back and forth, only 18,600 contribution points remained in the account (including the Stone Eye sold earlier).
In other words, he spent nearly 120 million in just one morning!
This number made him gasp involuntarily, and he felt a pang of heartache.
The world of the Transcendent may bring in money quickly, but it also spends it just as fast.
However, he quickly adjusted his mindset.
After all, this money buys real resources that can greatly help the development of the territory.
Moreover, because of his Platinum Member privileges, there are no handling fees, which indirectly saves him a lot of money.
After the transaction was completed, Ding Han stood up with a smile, "Mr. Shen Xing, I'll head out now."
The items you purchased will be allocated as quickly as possible. Have a pleasant day!
After saying that, he left the reception room.
Shen Xing sat there for a while, slowly finishing the tea in his cup.
Then he pushed his wheelchair to the outside trading hall, intending to browse around and see if he could find any treasures.
After all, the number of players has surged in the past few days, and some newbies might get lucky and drop some useful items.
After wandering around for half an hour, browsing through almost all the stalls, he actually found some good stuff.
First, there are two pieces of [Black Spirit Wood], the main materials for upgrading the Great Bonfire, which cost 4000 contribution points.
Then, he bought two more blueprints: [Level 2 Spiked Wall] and [Level 2 Holy Light Beacon], for a total of 3,000 contribution points.
With that, he still had 11,000 contribution points left in his account, which was quite a lot.
Next, he went to the window and took the two advanced materials he had matched, saving the delivery person from having to make another trip.
Shen Xing packed all these items into a black tote bag, then pushed his wheelchair and left the Pioneer Association, satisfied.
Upon arriving at the open-air parking lot, a light, gray drizzle was still falling.
Shen Xing looked around and murmured something.
"Come out, King of Chickens - Fried Chicken!"
As the gray mist surged, a magnificent raptor covered in dark golden wings appeared in the parking lot.
Shen Xing continued to make the Fried Chicken lie down, and then skillfully slid onto its back.
"Whoosh—"
With a flap of its wings, the Hippogryph carried him smoothly into the sky.
After selecting a direction, it transformed into a dark golden lightning bolt and shot out.
In less than three minutes, they were back over the villa area and landed steadily on the front lawn.
Shen Xing delivered the Fried Chicken back to the Land of Mist, then carried a large bag and eagerly returned home.
After closing the door, he went to the living room and emptied the six items from the bag one by one.
They consist of two blueprints, two advanced materials, and two pieces of Black Spirit Wood.
"With my current mental strength, I can teleport three items a day."
After a moment's thought, Shen Xing quickly made a decision. "In that case, let's send in those two advancement materials and the piece of Black Spirit Wood first."
"The other two drawings will be ready for tomorrow."
He regained consciousness of the Flower of Mist connected to his arm.
"Whoosh..."
A thick, grayish-white fog billowed out, covering the three items on the table.
In the blink of an eye, it vanished.
Then, Shen Xing moved to the sofa, found a comfortable position to lie down, and put her glasses back on.
The Mist Reincarnation, activated!
"Buzz..."
The darkness receded, and flames burst forth.
The blue notification message flashed past my eyes quickly.
[Ding! Your 'Orc Unit Nest' has been upgraded to Elite ★★]
[Ding! Your 'Lesser Demon Lair' has been upgraded to Elite ★★]
[Ding! Your 'Skeleton Archer Den' has been upgraded to Elite ★]
"Excellent, all three main barracks have been upgraded."
Shen Xing opened her eyes and looked around.
At a glance, it was clear that the rugged Orc Barracks had expanded considerably, with a pair of battle flags now flanking the main gate.
The original tribal council hall is showing signs of developing into a battle flag fortress.
The lava pools and burial grounds in the distance haven't changed much, except that they've grown larger.
At the edge of that burial ground, a new tombstone has been erected, with a hexagonal groove in the center, which is used to set gemstones.
Shen Xing didn't go over to check immediately, but instead pushed his wheelchair to the Bonfire in the center of the territory.
[Consume materials...? Territory Building: Great Bonfire Level 2 → Great Bonfire Level 3?]
"Yes."
[Upgrading in progress, estimated time: 18 hours 42 minutes...]
The roaring Great Bonfire was once again enveloped in white light, beginning a new Metamorphosis.
Then, he pushed his wheelchair to the edge of the burial ground.
He opened his right hand, and a stone, about the size of a fist, covered in Heishi skin, appeared in his palm.
[Enable 'Gem of Choice)'?]
[The gem selected this time has the attribute of: Ice]
Shen Xing clicked "OK" again.
"Click! Snap!"
A clear cracking sound rang out, and cracks appeared on the surface of the stone, from which gusts of chilling air surged forth.
When the last piece of stone peeled off, a crystal-clear, hexagonal gemstone, resembling millennia-old ice, appeared in his hand.
I glanced at the attributes.
[Ice Gem]
[Quality: Gold (Rare)]
[Effect: When embedded in a troop nest, it increases the ice attribute attack power of all troops of the same type by 20% and the freeze probability by 10%]
(Note: This gemstone contains extremely cold energy; be careful not to get frostbite.)
"There's also an additional freeze probability bonus, not bad."
Shen Xing went to the tombstone and pressed the gem into the central groove.
As the gemstone and tombstone became completely bonded together, a powerful burst of cold air erupted, freezing the ground of the burial site into a thin layer of ice.
The skeleton archers patrolling in the distance simultaneously felt a chill run down their spines.
It felt as if a chill had seeped into their bones, causing them all to shiver.
Many of the skeletons' bones were covered with a layer of ice crystals.
After finishing all that, Shen Xing patted his hands, which were red from the cold, and called out.
"Da Hou! Big Demon, come quickly!"
Chapter 130: The Rules of the Illusionary Realm are Announced, Final Preparations Before the Battle!
"Da Hou! Big Demon, come quickly!"
At Shen Xing's command, two figures quickly arrived from different directions.
From the eastern gate area, an orc over two meters tall with arms as thick as tree roots, wielding two battle axes, strode forward.
On the other side, a hunched Dretch with Damaged Bat Wing on its back floated in mid-air.
"Boss/Master!"
Two figures approached and greeted them respectfully.
Shen Xing nodded, said nothing more, and handed over the two advancement materials. "Here, then absorb them as soon as possible to break through."
They reached out and took them, and upon feeling the power contained within the two materials, their bodies simultaneously trembled.
"Oh! Thank you so much, boss, for giving me this opportunity to break through. I will definitely work hard!" Da Hou said excitedly.
The Big Demon also spoke haltingly, "Thank... thank... Master..."
Shen Xing waved his hand, signaling them to go aside and absorb the nutrients.
