After Lin Xu stopped talking, Tao Yao came over, looking curious:
"Master, who were you talking to just now?"
Lin Xu waved his hand dismissively:
"It's nothing, just a good-for-nothing young master. Let's continue with our plan and explore the Golden Ruins."
"Okay!"
Upon hearing Lin Xu's words, Tao Yao naturally regarded the person who had been communicating with Lin Xu as a piece of trash and began to fly up, preparing to land on the floating island.
This time, Lin Xu encountered a new wave of golden soldiers.
These soldiers used a weapon shaped like a long-handled sword. Although the blade was still sword-shaped, the handle was very long, at least one and a half times the length of the blade.
Strangely enough, even with this weapon, these soldiers could still use the Shuofeng Sword Technique.
Lin Xu fought a battle with these soldiers and realized that the uses of the Shuofeng Sword Technique might be even more diverse than he had originally thought.
If this sword technique is studied to a high level, it may not only be possible to unleash a fierce wind with a longsword, but also with other weapons, and even when unarmed, it may still produce the effect of a fierce wind.
Lin Xu carefully disassembled these new models of golden soldiers, learned their internal structure, and then cleared the new ruin.
At this moment, he received a new golden robe, and his ranking rose again, indeed becoming number one.
Lin Xu raised an eyebrow upon seeing the ranking.
I imagine Xiao Xing will not be satisfied with this result and will most likely resort to other means soon.
However, Lin Xu only focused on how Xiao Xing would act in the final moments to forge his authority.
Lin Xu didn't really care about the temporary first or second place rankings.
After all, in a head-to-head match, he would definitely be no match for Xiao Xing.
But once he uses his ultimate move, there's a 90% chance that the combined Golden Thread Robe will directly crush everyone else.
After collecting the topsoil and other gains, Lin Xu set off again for the next golden relic coordinates.
Not long after, the rankings suddenly changed.
Xiao Xing's ranking improved again, surpassing Lin Xu once more and returning to first place.
Moreover, Xiao Xing's points increased dramatically this time, doubling his previous amount and far surpassing Lin Xu's.
Apart from Xiao Xing, the other nobles on the leaderboard had significantly lower scores, all falling below 100 points, indicating they didn't even possess a single Golden Robe.
Looking at the ranking, Lin Xu smiled slightly.
As expected, Xiao Xing made his move.
This change in points clearly indicates that Xiao Xing has begun collecting the golden robes from other nobles and concentrating the points in his own hands.
If there were internal competition and conflicts among Xiao Xing and his group, Xiao Xing should be very happy now, because he has used Lin Xu's oppressive power to plunder the resources from the others.
"Xiao Xing might even thank me, right?"
Lin Xu stroked his chin and then shook his head:
"Given that young master's magnanimity, he most likely wouldn't think that way. He would just laugh at me, say I've made a fool of myself, and then say he'll crush me."
On the other side of the beginner's period, Xiao Xing looked at the rankings in front of him and indeed revealed a mocking smile:
"Lin Xu, you are incredibly clever, yet you've become the longsword in my hand. I've taken this opportunity to obtain more robes from others, which has given me absolute control over this ceremony! Moreover, with this opportunity, the others will definitely harbor great resentment towards you, making it the perfect time to eliminate you in the next operation."
"Lin Xu, the more unruly you are, the worse your end will be. Your cleverness has backfired. You'll either regret it in the slave mines or go to hell and wail!"
Xiao Xing was secretly pleased with himself, and Lin Xu's guess about Xiao Xing's reaction was pretty accurate.
However, Lin Xu didn't actually care much about what that young master thought.
He continued to direct Xiaoyu to the next golden ruin.
If necessary, he would immediately put on a golden robe.
However, if he had more options, he would still collect 33 pieces of golden brocade robes to fulfill the basic requirements of the ritual, and then stack the extra pieces of golden brocade robes.
Only in this way can we avoid some unpredictable changes and guard against some unexpected events.
Lin Xu continued exploring the golden ruins. After a day and a half, he explored five more ruins and has now collected more than twenty pieces of golden robes.
My classmates were a great help during this time.
Those people only needed to focus on acquiring the relic coordinates; they didn't need to explore the relic themselves. Therefore, their division of labor made trading for relic coordinates extremely efficient.
With the information and assistance provided by these people, Lin Xu's exploration of the ruins progressed rapidly.
However, on this day, a commoner student suddenly sent Lin Xu a private message, wanting to tell him the coordinates of a new ruin and wanting to make a deal with him in person.
Lin Xu was somewhat surprised when he saw this message.
After all, he no longer does such inefficient things personally; he just explores ruins on weekdays.
The fact that this commoner personally came to him instead of seeking out the relatively weaker and safer squad leader and his men is rather strange.
However, the message sent by this civilian did include a panoramic photo of the ruins, and the ruins were quite large, appearing to be a very precious site.
Lin Xu had encountered this kind of ruin before. There was a chance to find two golden robes inside, as well as some advanced technology related to golden soldiers.
Lin Xu's eyes flickered as he looked at the letter from the commoner:
"This seems too coincidental; it looks like a trap."
There are quite a few people in the newbie zone who want to take him down.
Although he tricked many bounty hunters and caused their deaths, there are still people trying to hunt him down.
In addition, there are the nobles.
"This kind of move doesn't seem like something a bunch of weak bounty hunters would do; it's more like something a nobleman would do."
Lin Xu thought this way, but he had no intention of backing down.
After all, if this ordinary student simply wants to make a transaction, then the value of this relic is quite high.
In addition, it is also because Lin Xu's island has now been upgraded, and his speed has reached a level that is far ahead of others.
Even a nobleman like Xiao Xing could never surpass him in speed, let alone be on par with him.
Therefore, Lin Xu's mastery of speed gave him the confidence to attack or defend as needed.
In addition, the heavy artillery production line on his island has been running these days, producing a considerable number of heavy artillery pieces.
Lin Xu has now added ten new stacked heavy machine guns to the island.
Although these machine guns are only stacked on ten layers and only have the characteristics of scattering and large-capacity ammunition, they are still quite powerful weapons if used to bombard other islands.
With these weapons, Lin Xu was confident he could counter any ambush.
Lin Xu then contacted this classmate:
Send me your coordinates, and I'll agree to a personal trade.
