Hearing Wang Lei call him "Grandpa" twice, Lin Xu was speechless.
Frankly speaking, if he were to deal with an enemy, he would either make them lose everything or kill them outright. It would be very difficult for him to humiliate an enemy in this way.
This approach seems to have no practical purpose other than intensifying hatred.
But this time, when Wang Lei came to his door, he used the method he had chosen.
This guy is inherently tasteless, so his methods are bound to be the same.
Lin Xu estimated that, given today's incident, Wang Lei would most likely seek revenge if given the chance.
With his unique talent at his disposal, Lin Xu didn't care about someone like Wang Lei.
The question is whether to kill Wang Lei outright or extract more value from him; we need to think about that a bit.
Thinking of this, Lin Xu was too lazy to pay attention to Wang Lei anymore, completely ignoring Wang Lei's eyes that looked like he wanted to bite someone, and continued to talk about a few more business deals with the shop assistant.
He had already spent all his money, but now, with Wang Lei's "assistance," Lin Xu has regained his capital.
He certainly wouldn't let the money sit idle; he was spending it now.
Because ley line fragments are related to planting, seed shops also sell these items.
Considering that he had just acquired another 100 square meters of island land, Lin Xu bought another 200 pieces of ley line fragments.
These fragments, combined with what Teacher Li previously "sponsored," should be able to create some pretty good items. With the extra territory, they might yield a very strong harvest.
In addition, Lin Xu also bought some "enlightenment potion".
This potion is made from high-end plants, and both the materials and the formula are extremely expensive.
The potion has a rather unique effect: it allows the island owner to attempt to transform the island's substances and create "spirits."
Generally, only island owners who are interested in elves will buy this kind of potion.
Although there are very few island owners in human history who truly possess the talent of elves, some island owners have been able to create degraded elves through certain technologies and supernatural means.
This method of experimentation involves using enchanting potions to continuously enchant certain precious items.
For this method to succeed, it requires an immense amount of resources and a great deal of luck to even have a chance of obtaining some inferior spirits that lack intelligence.
The potion Lin Xu purchased was not the original infusion, but a diluted, inferior product.
With his current financial resources, he can only afford this inferior version of the medicine.
Moreover, his main purpose was to test whether the potion could help him unleash his elven talents.
After all, there is no course on enlightening spirits in textbooks.
These kinds of lessons, which are truly valuable for survival and development, are passed down in secret among nobles and are never taught to commoners.
Therefore, Lin Xu needs to figure out how to enlighten spirits on his own.
After leaving the shop, Lin Xu quickly returned to his dormitory with his purchases.
He then used the coordinates to enter the island world.
Back on the Sky Island, Lin Xu felt somewhat relaxed.
Although the island in front of him was not large, it was entirely his land.
Only here can he freely realize his beliefs.
The 100 plots of land that Wang Lei lost to him have now been transferred to him.
Under the Sky Island rules, these lands, along with their bases, are attached to one side of his island. Since Wang Lei has not developed these lands, they remain in their original state.
All of this land is rock, so it seems that although Wang Lei's island is large, its resources are not top-notch.
For civilian islands, arable soil is still more valuable.
While rocky land can be used to plant mineral veins, it requires a high cost, making it difficult for ordinary island owners to do so in the early stages.
But these lands just happen to meet Lin Xu's requirements.
After all, his stacking talent is suitable for stacking the same objects, and if stacked multiple times, the rocky ground might undergo some changes.
More importantly, he managed to acquire several hundred fragments of ley lines this time.
These fragments, when stacked and placed on a rocky surface, are ideal for maximizing their effectiveness.
Lin Xu was very much looking forward to the upcoming profits, so he didn't delay and decisively began to manipulate the rocky ground to start stacking.
He stacked 100 of the newly acquired rocks on top of each other, and then stacked the base underneath in the same way.
After multiple layers were superimposed, the rocks silently merged together.
The interface of rocks appeared before Lin Xu's eyes:
[Rocks stacked a hundred times higher]
Length: 1 meter; Width: 1 meter; Height: 5 meters
【Rock Essence:】
Superposition effect:
1. The growth rate of veins and mineral veins planted on this rock is increased a hundredfold.
2. The lifespan of ley lines and mineral veins will be extended by at least a hundred times, with a very high probability of making them permanent;
3. When a vein of ore or a ley line permanently resides in the rock, its rank will definitely increase by one major level, and it will receive a 10-fold increase in regeneration.
For Sky Island, the rocky ground is not a useless area.
It's not that these surfaces can be used to mine rocks, but rather that sky islands allow the planting of mineral veins or ley line seeds.
For example, the hundreds of ley line fragments in Lin Xu's possession are one such seed.
Once this seed enters the ground, it will typically generate a vein of earth or mineral that exists for a limited time and has a limited capacity.
The earth veins can be used to replenish soil fertility, or they can serve as an energy source to power various types of aerial machinery.
The function of mineral veins is relatively simple: they can continuously generate new mineral veins.
Generally, one of these seeds can generate about ten times the amount of energy or minerals. Once the mining is completed or the duration is exhausted, the mineral veins and earth veins that were planted will disappear.
Nobles possess the means to create permanent mineral veins and ley lines, but these technologies are usually packaged as specialized courses that can only be learned by joining the ranks of nobles.
Moreover, advanced techniques can only be learned by signing a contract to become a permanent ley line master or mine master. Ordinary island owners use inferior products with short lifespans and limited capacity, such as ore veins and ley line seeds.
Thinking of this, Lin Xu couldn't help but click his tongue at the nobles again.
This group of trash monopolizes all resources, but only gives scraps to ordinary people. Sure enough, even if you wipe them all out, it will only be doing good for the world.
However, there was no point in thinking about these things now, so Lin Xu abandoned these pointless thoughts and began to study the resources he had.
Although nobles monopolized the technology of planting permanent mineral veins and ley lines, it seems that with his talent, he could directly ignore this technological barrier and create permanent mineral veins and ley lines himself.
Moreover, the cost of producing such resources is very low. For an island owner, as long as they survive, they can eventually obtain a hundred square meters of rocky ground.
Without hesitation, Lin Xu took out a fragment of the earth vein and placed it on the rocky ground beneath his feet.
Then he activated the island's authority, causing the rocky ground to begin devouring the fragments of the earth's veins.
