A week later, the dark creatures outside the wasteland planet were finally almost completely wiped out.
The number of lords on the planet Karan was ten times that of the planet, yet it took more than twice as long. This was largely due to the fact that everyone was fighting independently.
Fortunately, it's finally nearing its end.
Only a few Tier 4 races remained around the planet, but these races all had Tier 5 lords, which ordinary lords could not handle.
Of course, for ordinary lords, this is an insurmountable barrier.
But for the proud lords, this is a sweet cake; it's just a matter of whether they are willing to pay a high price to buy it home.
"You want a Tier 4 magic crystal bomb?" The fat man in the territory was stunned, staring at Lin Hu in the distance with a look of astonishment. He didn't expect that the first person to come to him for gunpowder would be him.
“That’s right, I’m planning to take action against the dark creatures on the outskirts, but as you know, we don’t have the ability to fight against a group of fourth-tier dark creatures, so I can only come to you to buy bombs!” Lin Hu shrugged helplessly, his expression showing no embarrassment at all because of the previous conflict.
It has to be said that the scions of these great families are indeed quite good at cultivating their composure, unlike Chris over there, who has probably caused Ye Chen a lot of trouble these days, and it's all kind of trouble that's neither too big nor too small, sometimes even making people laugh and cry.
For example, they might attract a new batch of dark creatures while bombarding them, or they might arrive with a group of lords and leave behind a pile of compensation.
The most outrageous time was when he attracted hundreds of second- or third-tier dark ghouls who wanted to devour him, only to find that the entire dark ghoul horde had scattered along the way, and he could only bring so many.
Over the course of a week, Ye Chen had encountered a lot of trouble, and each time he was caught, the compensation he had to pay was even greater.
Now, Ye Chen's territory has ten red dragons, countless rare and precious materials, and even a square meter of his most scarce fourth-grade spirit soil has been delivered, allowing Ye Chen to grow some high-grade crops that were previously impossible to grow.
"What a kind person!" All four of them felt the same way, and they even looked forward to Chris's appearance every day.
“We do have Tier 4 magic crystal bombs, but they’re not cheap! And they can’t kill Tier 5 dark creatures!” The fat man replied after glancing at Si Meng beside him.
"As expected! Name your price. I believe in the price of a Tier 4 magic crystal bomb. It shouldn't cost more than a Tier 5 magic crystal, right?" Lin Hu said confidently with a smile. A Tier 4 magic crystal bomb couldn't kill a Tier 5 dark creature, so naturally he couldn't ask for a higher price.
“Indeed, but the value is still there, at least 20 Tier 4 magic crystals!” the fat man said, holding up two fingers.
Ten Tier 4 magic crystals contain a total energy comparable to a Tier 5 magic crystal. The extra ten crystals are there to allow for negotiation and also represent a discount from a higher-tier magic crystal to a lower-tier one.
Sure enough, Lin Hu frowned slightly upon hearing the fat man's offer. The price was clearly beyond his expectations, and he would not buy the magic crystal bomb at such a price.
"Too expensive, 10 Tier 4 magic crystals, I'll take them all!" Lin Hu said.
"So what if it's a large quantity? I'm not begging you to buy it. Do you think I'll give you a discount for large quantities? The minimum is 15 Tier 4 magic crystals, no negotiation!" the fat man said arrogantly. He clearly didn't have a good impression of Lin Hu and wanted to take advantage of him.
"Alright then, 15 Tier 4 magic crystals per crystal will do. How many do you have?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Hu agreed immediately after only a slight hesitation, which completely baffled the fat man. He had originally planned to sell it for at least 10 Tier 4 magic crystals, but now the price had risen to 15.
"This! This! This! Five...five hundred, I guess?" The fat man paused, answering uncertainly, clearly not thinking about the quantity and still not recovered from the shock.
"Five hundred? That's too few. How long would it take to get 1,000?" Lin Hu asked, frowning. Sending five hundred magic crystal bombs into the wasteland planet would be extremely difficult.
"Tsk, that's all we have! After all, fourth-tier magic crystals are already in the mid-level category, and they're not easy to manufacture," the fat man said, smacking his lips. To be honest, he didn't want to sell them, since the other party's arrogant attitude before was quite unpleasant to look at.
"Give him two thousand! Let's price it at five Tier 4 magic crystals, but you'll owe me a favor, and I'll have to help you out if necessary!" Ye Chen suddenly stepped forward and said to Lin Hu opposite him.
"Brother Chen? Really? 2000? Or 5 Tier 4 magic crystals?" the fat man exclaimed. Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only 5 times the price; in terms of the transaction, this is practically a steal.
"This?" Lin Hu was stunned by Ye Chen's appearance. He couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking. The key was the condition that followed, which was usually a trap.
"Don't worry, it's just asking you to take action. It won't endanger your life. You can run away if necessary, and you might not even need to use it!" Ignoring the fat man, Ye Chen continued speaking to him.
Now that he has sensed the presence of the lich, he must make more preparations. In addition to developing his own territory, finding external aid is also extremely important. Just as Lin Hu said, in the adult world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Lin Hu didn't rush to reply. Instead, he fell into deep thought, quietly looking at Ye Chen. After a while, he finally nodded and agreed.
"Brother Chen? You're really giving it to him? And it's for 5 Tier 4 magic crystals?" Fatty asked with a pained expression as he watched chests filled with magic crystal bombs being carried out of the territory.
"Here you go, having more friends means having more options! Maybe the Lin family in Shanghai can even help us promote Duobao Trading Network in the future!" Ye Chen chuckled softly.
"But it doesn't even cost 5 Tier 4 magic crystals! They just offered 15! How much money are we going to lose?"
"Didn't you promise to do me a favor and lend a hand? Do you think that an enemy I can't even handle, requiring them to act as cannon fodder, isn't worth such a small amount of money?"
"Well, now that you mention it, it's worth it! It really is worth it!" The fat man nodded solemnly; nothing was more important than his own life.
"Isn't that settled then?"
Having obtained the magic crystal bomb, Lin Hu led his men directly towards the wasteland planet, and soon a series of booming sounds could be heard.
"The road is open, it's time for us to go in!" Ye Chen straightened his clothes, glanced at the neat and orderly team in front of him, waved his right hand, and the entire territory rushed towards the wasteland planet.
