The night passed in the blink of an eye, and the next morning, a new round of attacks would begin again.
The closer they get to the wasteland planet, the stronger the overall dark creatures become. They have gone from being mainly Tier 2 creatures to being mainly Tier 3 creatures. It is now very difficult to see Tier 2 races. The war pressure on many lords has increased dramatically.
It should be noted that although their kin are powerful, they are actually only Tier 3 units, and their numbers are mostly in the dozens.
Even if this small number of kin were invincible among their peers, it would be impossible for them to deal with tens of thousands of third-tier creatures. Even Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi could only fight and retreat.
However, with magic crystal bombs in hand, their spoils were the most abundant among all the lords. A large number of dark creatures did not even need to fight; throwing a magic crystal bomb was enough to blow them to pieces.
Then, stone golems are sent forward to collect magic crystals, thus forming a perfect cycle.
The fruitful results naturally attracted the attention and envy of other lords. During their rest, many lords had already walked towards the four of them.
"Lord Simeng! I wonder if you have any magic crystal bombs left over? I'd like to buy some!" a lord said.
His familiar is the Golden Lion, a beast-type race, a purely melee-based familiar like the Behemoth.
Therefore, facing thousands of dark creatures, his lack of group attack methods made his battles increasingly difficult.
"This? I'm really sorry, as you can see, he's busy making both the trading disks and the magic crystal bombs. He's really overwhelmed. The magic crystal bombs he has are not even enough for his own use!" Si Meng said with a troubled expression. It wasn't that she didn't want to do this business, but the production capacity was simply too limited.
The daily production of magic crystal bombs is barely enough for Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi to use, with no more left over.
"This? I can offer double the price, 500 coins per day is feasible?" The lord gritted his teeth and said with a troubled expression.
500 magic crystal bombs, double the price, is a considerable expense. You have to know that magic crystal bombs are not sold at the original price. They are usually sold at a premium of three to five times. If the price is doubled again, he might end up using up all the magic crystals he has accumulated in a day of war.
"Well... I'll go ask around for you!" Hearing the price, Si Meng was somewhat tempted, but whether it could actually be produced was something she could only ask Fatty. After all, her elven race couldn't make this thing, nor did they have the time to do so.
The maintenance of Duobao Trading Network and the distribution of goods are already becoming a challenge for her elves to handle alone.
"Lord Simeng, please ask him for me too. I only need 300!"
"Yeah, I don't have many, just 400. Could you ask around for me?"
"I want 600..."
"I'd be happy with 100 of them too..."
Hearing that there was a chance, the surrounding lords immediately spoke up, wanting to be able to buy a batch, which startled Si Meng so much that she had to stop and look at everyone with a helpless expression.
"Everyone, please be patient. I'll go see how much I can spare, but I can't guarantee exactly how much. Don't get your hopes up too high!" Si Meng said helplessly, then turned and ran towards the fat man's territory.
At this moment, the fat man was extremely busy. If it weren't for the fact that he had recruited too many goblins last month, he would have liked to recruit them on a large scale again.
"Magic crystal bombs? There's no time to make those now. The ones for Ye Chen and Jian Xiaohua were all made at night!" Upon hearing Si Meng's words, the fat man exclaimed with wide eyes.
“They offered double the price!” Si Meng shrugged; he wasn’t worried about not being tempted by such a price.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the fat man was stunned for a moment. He paced back and forth in his territory, and after a while, he gritted his teeth, took a pile of magic crystals, and headed towards the goblin's lair.
Although it's no longer suitable for large-scale recruitment in the short term, recruiting only a small batch won't have a significant impact. Having these goblins to manufacture magic crystal bombs will be sufficient.
However, it will take some time to learn how to make magic crystal bombs, so today's production will definitely be affected to some extent.
"Go tell them that they can produce about 1,000 magic crystal bombs a day, of varying quality. Then auction them off in groups of 100 on the Duobao Trading Network, with the highest bidder winning." After recruiting 180 goblins in one go, the fat man said to Si Meng, and then took the group of goblins to train.
Not only should we brainwash them, but we should also teach them how to make magic crystal bombs as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if we recruit them, they will be useless and just a few freeloaders.
"Alright!" Seeing the fat man's actions, Si Meng smiled and turned back to deal with the many lords.
Upon hearing that magic crystal bombs were finally available for sale, everyone's faces lit up with joy. However, when they heard about the quantity and the auction format, their spirits immediately dampened.
As for the auction, the price is hard to say. Double the price is their target price; any higher and they might not be able to break even.
Moreover, 1,000 is a bit too few. In such a dense horde of monsters, a group could probably be blown up in one or two rounds, unless they managed to snatch a few more groups of magic crystal bombs.
"Hmph! A mere thousand coins? Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar? That Ye Chen could easily earn more than a thousand coins in a single battle, right?"
"And you're even auctioning it off? Using this opportunity to rake in money, I think you just don't want to help everyone clean up the wasteland planet as quickly as possible, so you can reap all the benefits yourself!"
A lord called out. This person was the same Behemoth lord from before. His clan was also not good at group attacks, so they could only come here to buy some magic crystal bombs, but unfortunately they were unable to buy any.
His words resonated with many lords. Even if magic crystal bombs were available for sale, buying them at exorbitant prices would undoubtedly increase their war costs significantly.
Despite the difficulties posed by the crowd, Si Meng remained unfazed and sneered at them.
"What? Help everyone clean up the wasteland planet? Does that mean I have to offer up all these magic crystal bombs with my bare hands? Orib, is your brain as idiotic as your Behemoth's?"
Hearing what was said before, Orib was still smug, thinking that the other party was really scared by him, but he didn't expect that the other party would scold him in the end.
"What are you saying?" Orib exclaimed angrily. It was one thing to say he was stupid, but to bring his own clan along? Was he saying he was stupid or that his clan was stupid? Orib was instantly enraged.
"Can't you understand human language? I told you to stop sleeping during the day and daydreaming!" Ye Chen's sneer rang out, with the moonlight shining behind him. Just Ye Ling alone was enough to silence everyone.
