"Ten years' worth of life-giving drops, all gone just like that! Your auction is truly a money pit!" Ye Chen said to An Ke with a wry smile.
Hearing this, An Ke smiled and shook her head, "You're wrong about that. The money pit only takes in money and doesn't give it out. You may seem to have spent a lot, but you've actually made a huge profit!"
Ye Chen smiled. What the other party said was not wrong. The life water droplets he had accumulated for ten years were all used up, but in return, he gained thousands of followers, including several different races. Wasn't that a profit?
Besides the initial hundred merfolk, Ye Chen later recruited another hundred, but these belonged to two different merfolk groups, just as elves are divided into forest elves, moon elves, and so on.
As for the elves that Ye Chen photographed, there were even more groups. The main elf groups, such as forest elves and night elves, made up the majority. In addition, there were two hundred high elves with stronger talents and one hundred void elves who possessed void magic talents.
It could be said that bidding for the elves alone had completely depleted Ye Chen's life droplets, but in exchange for nearly a thousand elves, it was still worthwhile, even a huge profit.
It should be noted that the Elven race's talent is still at the pinnacle among many high-level races. In many planes where races are numerous, the Elven race can still stand out from the crowd and surpass many other races, and their talent plays a significant role in this.
However, winning the hearts of the elves is not easy. Without the Tree of Life, even if you raise a large number of elves, they may still rebel. But if there is a Tree of Life in your territory, then these elves will become your most loyal followers.
Therefore, many lords say that the elves are not truly loyal to their lords, but rather to the Ancient Tree of Life that gave them life.
"You possess the Tree of Life, so winning over these elves won't be difficult. As for the merfolk, as long as you give them a vast ocean to live freely, they will become your most loyal followers. It seems your territory's development speed can be accelerated even further!" Anke looked at what Ye Chen had bought and said with a hint of envy. However, she was only an Awakened One, and these followers were of no use to her.
"We have to thank Sister An and Elder Qin for this, otherwise we wouldn't even know about this auction!"
"Alright, Elder Qin is happy to take care of promising young people. As for me, I'm just a gofer." Anke smiled and continued, "The next item to be auctioned is your goblin armor. Keep an eye on it, and remember to let us know in advance if you have a suitable bid."
"Finally, it's our turn? Great!" The fat man rubbed his hands excitedly, eager to know the true value of his goblin armor.
Compared to six years ago, this batch of goblin armor has not seen a qualitative leap, but there are still many improvements in the small details. It is much better than when it was first built, and it looks much cooler, making it a true weapon of war.
Of course, the fourth-generation goblin armor is also under research. Both he and Ye Chen felt that the research on goblin armor and mechs should be carried out simultaneously, as they are two different research directions.
In future designs, armor will be developed towards portability. The current highest level of six is already sufficient, but if it is as troublesome to wear as a mecha, then it loses its meaning. After all, no matter how much armor is updated, it is difficult to compete with mechas at the same price.
Under the fat man's expectant gaze, the black armored vehicle that had been placed in the office was brought out again. Its three-meter height, dark metal shape, and streamlined armor attracted everyone's attention.
"Everyone must be very curious about what this lump of iron is, right? A high-level golem? A steel puppet? Or a metal golem? After all, anything brought to today's auction must be quite valuable!"
"Neither. This is an armor developed by a new lord, named the Primordial Armor!"
The auctioneer on the auction stage looked at everyone and said, "The name 'Goblin Armor' is too low-class, so after Ye Chen and Fatty discussed it, they decided to change it to a more impressive name."
Since Ye Chen's territory had already been named Primordial Star, and the concept of goblin armor and mechs originated from him, the fat man simply made the decision to name them Primordial Battle Armor and Primordial Mech, which sounded domineering and resounding.
Ye Chen had no objection to this and let him do as he pleased. Developing the prehistoric world into a technological world, with technological cultivation? It sounded quite interesting!
"Everyone must be very curious about what this Primordial Armor is used for. Now, a staff member will give you a brief demonstration!" After the auctioneer finished speaking, a forest elf standing next to him unfastened the clasp on the side of the armor and squeezed inside.
This is also the design that Fatty has continuously improved over the years. Borrowing the design mode of mecha, the entire armor is designed as two parts, front and back. As long as a person stands in the middle, the front and back parts will automatically close, which saves a lot of time in putting on the armor.
"As you can see, the Primordial Armor is a wearable suit of armor. The user opens the front and back sections of the armor, stands in the middle, and the entire suit of armor will automatically close, covering the user completely and providing 360-degree protection!"
"According to the test data, this suit of armor has basic Tier 3 protection capabilities, which means that conventional Tier 3 attacks cannot harm the user! Please look, this is a scorching ray with Tier 3 attack capabilities!"
The auctioneer said that a mage was already standing some distance away, chanting a third-tier fire spell - Blazing Ray.
This is a hybrid fire and light magic that can concentrate the energy of flames into a single point and project it outwards, possessing terrifying destructive and penetrating power. Furthermore, this magic can be sustained for an extended period by continuous casting.
The scorching flame rays struck the Primordial Armor, but they sank to the bottom of the ocean, leaving not even a trace on the dark armor. Only the center, which was burned by the rays, showed a faint red glow.
"Look everyone, this is the strongest single-target fire magic of the third tier, and it can't even leave a scratch on this armor. It's clear that the armor's defensive capabilities are far more than just third tier!"
"If its defensive capabilities are this outstanding, then its offensive capabilities are even more impressive. A blow from a giant hammer would surely be more powerful than a slap, right? Its basic attack power can also reach the third tier!"
"And this is only its basic ability!"
