“Brother Chen, we know you’re lacking divine matter, but this stuff isn’t worth much. You don’t need to buy so much at once, do you?” Fatty and the others said helplessly when they saw the pile of “scrap metal” in Ye Chen’s territory.
"The materials of this batch of equipment are quite good. It uses very little divine power, and even if it is extracted, it can still perform well in terms of equipment characteristics. It can be used to arm our clansmen, so it's not a bad deal!" Ye Chen said with a smile, holding the silk scarf he had previously set his sights on. Now that the item was in his hands, he could see all its attributes.
Moon Goddess's Scarf (Tier 4)
Made of galaxy brocade, it possesses a faint divine power of the moon goddess.
The control over lunar elements has been greatly enhanced, and the understanding of lunar elements has been improved.
When damaged, it can actively protect itself, effectively resisting physical attacks up to level 3 and energy attacks up to level 4, and has a certain weakening effect on attacks below level 6.
"Hiss... Now that you mention it, it's actually true! Look at this sword, it's actually made of star steel. Even without the divinity in it, the star steel alone is worth a lot of money!" The fat man was stunned for a moment, picked up a green steel longsword and looked at it, then exclaimed in amazement.
"No way? We really struck gold? That lord didn't just look at the grade of these weapons and not pay attention to the materials used, did he?" Jian Mengyi said, looking at a staff. This staff that she picked up casually was actually made from the heart of a thousand-year-old tree. The materials used are too extravagant!
“No, actually most lords can’t recognize too many materials. Do you think everyone is a genius like you two? Ask this fat guy, if he hadn’t been doing research for the past few months, would he be able to recognize these materials?” Si Meng shook her head and said, not forgetting to diss the fat guy.
"How could I? Fine, I didn't know them before. I've been cramming on them these past few months. I can't help it, researching mechs and magical weapons has involved testing so many materials. To be honest, I've basically tested all of these materials myself!" The fat man tried to retort, but he gave up before he could finish his sentence.
"So, they really don't know. They can only look at the grade of these equipment. A bunch of Tier 3 and Tier 4 equipment is indeed only worth this much!" Jian Mengyi said as if she had just realized something.
Don't be fooled by Ye Chen's excitement at getting the Golden Bow. As the new lords grow stronger, equipment below Tier 3 can now be mass-produced. Tier 4 equipment is just a matter of spending some money. What's truly valuable are items that can significantly boost the strength of your clan or quickly elevate the strength of a single unit.
A single Tier 6 skeletal dragon was enough to deter anyone from venturing into Ye Chen's territory. Even some of his lords, whose clans were generally Tier 5, dared not make a move. This was the deterrent power of high-tier units.
While equipment plays a significant role, unless it's a weapon like the Trident of Poseidon that allows Mount Tai to fight against opponents of higher ranks, it's not all that great.
“Yes, that’s the rudimentary way it is in the overseas shopping market. You find those lords who don’t know their stuff and buy it at a low price. But unless you need certain materials like Ye Chen, you can’t make much money just from the raw materials!” Si Meng nodded and said.
Hearing her words, everyone nodded in agreement. After all, if it's just materials, they would still need to find someone to craft it, unless it's a really rare high-grade material. But even then, the equipment quality wouldn't be that low. After all, the lower limit is there, and the price wouldn't be low either.
After absorbing the divinity from these equipment, Ye Chen gained another 6 Primordial Points through transformation. The amount was not large, making him hesitate about whether to go to the Scripture Pavilion to try and get some more.
This is like drawing cards; drawing cards once is fun, and drawing cards repeatedly is even more fun. If he could get a secret manual like "Celestial Immortal Technique," the strength of his territory would probably increase dramatically. Unfortunately, this is just wishful thinking. If it were that easy to get, he wouldn't have wasted so many of his Primordial Points.
"Never mind, I'll keep some and see if I can convert it into other buildings later!" Ye Chen thought for a moment, then decided not to use it and put it away, continuing to wander around with Fatty and the others.
Unfortunately, there are very few things that are useful to them now. Even the highly sought-after advanced Five Elements Spirit Pearls are not something they need.
After a fruitless journey, the group finally arrived at the trading area of the Wanwu Tower. Their territory was blocked off from a great distance, and special mounts or companions led them to the trading area in the middle.
"The manager here is one of my subordinates. Let's go, there are too many people here, we can only get through by riding!" Si Meng said with a smile as she looked at the two-legged dragon that came to pick them up.
"No need, let's ride the dragons over, it'll save us some trouble!" Ye Chen shrugged, summoned four red dragons, each with a few of their followers, and flew towards the central area behind the guide.
After five months of development, the trading area of Wanwulou is much more magnificent than it was when we first saw it.
The central trading islands no longer numbered only five, but more than a dozen, stretching across the land, each with a vast territory, together resembling a small continent.
"This is one of the largest trading posts in the entire trial space. I'll get you a list later, so you can take your time and see if you find what you're looking for!" Si Meng said with a smile as they flew. However, as soon as she finished speaking, Ye Chen and the others slowly stopped and looked at the landing point on the central island with puzzled expressions.
"By the way? Did you arrange for this person to come and greet you?" the fat man asked, gesturing.
At the landing point, a large number of lords and their families were waiting. Leading them was a tall, thin young man in a formal suit, with a faint smile on his lips, quietly looking in the direction of Ye Chen and his group of four, or more precisely, looking at Si Meng among the four.
"This? Wen Tianzong?" Si Meng looked down in confusion, but suddenly her expression changed drastically. She had recognized who the leader was.
Just then, seeing Ye Chen and the others suspended in the air, the man took a few steps closer to them and shouted loudly into the sky.
"Oh! Isn't this our Wanwu Tower's little princess? The newly appointed head of the organization this year? Si Meng? What's wrong? Not managing your Duobao Trading Network properly? Are you back to give some guidance?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen and the others immediately understood that this must be Si Meng's political enemy in the Wanwu Tower. Their presence here clearly indicated ill intent!
