Other options either had excessively high prices or focused primarily on spears and guns, making them unsuitable.
"Okay, let's check out the island with the special items. If there's nothing there, we should head back!" Ye Chen nodded and the two continued walking towards another floating island.
The islands where special items are traded are much sparser than the islands where weapons and equipment are traded, since only a few lords are lucky enough to obtain special items.
In addition, there are not many items for sale at the stalls here. Most of them only have one or two items on display, and the prices are outrageous.
The two wandered around for a while but didn't get what they wanted, so they had to leave disappointed.
"These lords are really greedy. They charge exorbitant prices for the blueprints of a special building, and not one of them will accept magic crystals in exchange," the fat man couldn't help but complain.
"Of course, would you be willing to trade magic crystals for blueprints?" Ye Chen smiled and said, "Go say hello to Si Meng, we're leaving now, we've wasted almost a day here."
A new lord's time is extremely precious; a single day can often bring about dramatic changes.
If it weren't for the trade fair held by Wanwu Tower, I believe not many people would be willing to waste their time here. Wouldn't it be better to use that time to go out and clean up a few meteorites?
Upon arriving at the center of the island, outside Si Meng's room, they found her receiving quite a few guests. The two didn't linger, exchanged a brief greeting, and left immediately.
Following the lord who had led the way back to his island, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter where they were, nothing felt as comfortable as their own territory.
"Where do we go next? To find School Beauty Jian?" Back in their territory, the fat man teased Ye Chen.
"No, didn't Si Meng give us a special coordinate? Let's go find that special coordinate!" Ye Chen shook his head and said.
Open the wristband, input the coordinates, and a bright red arrow will appear on the map inside the wristband, guiding them in the direction to move forward.
"Oh! Right, right, right! Special coordinates. Si Meng said this is the territory left behind by a previous lord after his death. There should be some resources he didn't use, or even his family's nests. We have to go there as soon as possible, lest someone else get there first!" The fat man patted his forehead and said in a slightly hurried tone.
Every year, new lords enter the trial world, while the previous lords either successfully advance to become official lords or fail to advance and return to Earth. There are very few lords who die.
But rare doesn't mean nonexistent. There are always some special forces that can forcibly extinguish the lord's flame of hope, depriving him of the right to return to Earth and forcing him to sink into darkness forever.
Or perhaps the lord died completely for some special reason, leaving the remaining territory to drift in darkness, eventually being swallowed by it.
This special territory is hidden away each time the trial space is reset, sealed in a nearby spatial rift, and can only be seen when someone approaches this spatial rift.
The location of this spatial rift is a special coordinate passed down among the lords.
"No rush. It's the territory of the previous lord, after all. It won't be easy for anyone to find us. Let's just leave normally to avoid being targeted," Ye Chen said in a deep voice, carefully controlling the territory to fly towards the outer perimeter.
The Wanwu Tower's trade fair only guarantees the lord's safety during the trade period; whether the lord lives or dies after leaving is none of their concern.
On his way out, Ye Chen saw several lords followed by others. Although they seemed to be traveling in the same direction, a closer look revealed that they were actually being surrounded and attacked.
Neither Ye Chen nor the fat man intended to pay attention to this. They were not related and it was not their place to meddle, especially since there were too many people to manage.
Being able to leave safely is already a blessing.
However, Ye Chen soon realized that leaving quietly was not an easy task.
Five floating islands were already following behind him and the fat man, ready to surround them as soon as they reached a sufficiently large space.
