Chapter 209
Magic weapons that can be used by ordinary people are expensive to make, but they only need to be filled with magic crystals to exert a destructive power many times stronger than ordinary weapons. Fortunately, Su Xingyuan had just blackmailed Xu Banmeng before - no, he had completed a national commission and made a huge fortune, so it was not difficult for him to take all the magic weapons that Xu Banmeng could give him.
However, Xu Banmeng could not find too many weapons in stock in a short period of time - because of the high prices and the need for magic crystals as energy, there were very few real ordinary people among its target customer base, so the shipment volume each time was not large. In the end, Xu Banmeng only gave a conservative number.
"Three hundred thousand." Xu Banmeng said, "I can only give you a magic weapon worth three hundred thousand."
She was sitting in her office, and the black-haired hunter was sitting opposite her, looking down and quickly flipping through the various uses of this weapon.
Hearing her words, the black-haired hunter tilted his head slightly, as if he estimated something, then signed the contract and said with a smile, "That's enough. Just swipe the money from my account."
He stood up and prepared to leave.
"Can I ask you something?" Xu Banmeng's voice came from behind him. "Why did you order this batch of weapons? You know, three hundred thousand is not a small amount."
The black-haired hunter stopped, tilted his head slightly, and continued to smile.
"This is hard to explain. But the Demon King probably won't have the time to come here again," he said in a relaxed tone as usual, "because there will be another place to attract firepower - OK, see you later, Boss Xu. I hope the atmosphere will still be pleasant when we meet next time."
Xu Banmeng watched his back until he left.
After she could no longer see Su Xingyuan's figure, she leaned back in her chair tiredly and closed her eyes. She couldn't help but think of the reinforcements that did not belong to this world that walked out of the portal on the day when J City was conquered by monsters.
Something big was about to happen, and someone was silently taking the lead.
But what is meant to come will eventually come. She should also prepare for war.

Su Xingyuan did not send anyone to Hell to gather intelligence again, but as the territory continued to expand, the distance between it and the original Hell became smaller and smaller, until now, he was almost able to grasp their movements from the map.
There are two ways to stop the Demon King's army. The first is the simplest, which is to directly block it, which is equivalent to declaring war on hell, and the second...
It is more expensive for the lord.
Because perhaps - he could open another portal to his territory behind the portal from hell to the human world, and send those monsters that were originally going to attack the human world into the trap he had prepared early on.
This method is very risky. If it fails, the monsters will march straight into the human world. But if they succeed... they will die without even knowing how they died.
Su Xingyuan was very excited.
He decided to give it a try.
Su Xingyuan walked around the territory and came up with a general idea. He saved the game and went to the sea to ask the mermaid queen: "Do you collect garbage here?"
Mermaid Queen: “?”
Suddenly, she understood Su Xingyuan's metaphor in a strange way: "You mean... those monsters that are hostile to us?"
"The sea is vast, perhaps we can open a portal on the seabed." The black-haired hunter pulled out a circular portal in front of him and gestured.
The mermaid queen instantly understood Su Xingyuan’s meaning.
She smiled and said, "Lord, our entire tribe is ready to fight and even sacrifice for you. Please lead the monsters into our trap. The mermaid warriors are brave and will never retreat. I believe they will never return."
In the end, Su Xingyuan selected five locations to kill monsters.
First is the ocean controlled by the mermaids, who rank high in combat power and have more environmental advantages. The portal will be opened directly on the seabed, sending them into the Siren's trap.
The second is the snowfield where Su Xingyuan once fought with the third demon king. After a period of silence, the snowfield has once again given birth to powerful and unique monsters. The monsters that survived the harsh environment were extremely powerful and also had their own home field advantage. Even if they cannot stop the monsters teleported here, the snowfield is large enough for Suxingyuan to re-arrange its manpower.
Human settlements certainly cannot be used as traps, so as the third location, Suxingyuan chose the former undead dungeon. The Undead Dungeon was one of the first to be merged into the territory. Some of the undead have grown to the level where they can guard the A-level portals, and they are difficult to kill - most importantly, Xin Yunxi and Xin Yunting live next door.
Xin Yunting was not quite sure, but he knew how cruel Xin Yunxi was, so he felt relieved.
Afterwards, he returned to the dungeon where he killed Siu-Nino.
Three old men were playing chess together. When they saw Su Xingyuan coming over, they glared and said, "You're finally here - is this the great gift you mentioned?"
——It means that as soon as they go out, they find that the whole world has been taken away by the kid in front of them. Why do they say that this guy is so kind and wants to help them condense their souls.
But what is really strange is that they seem to be identified as the native monsters of this land. Not only will they not dissipate, but they are showing a tendency to condense into a physical entity a little bit.
"Unfortunately, this is not something I can decide." The human hunter spread his hands innocently, and then changed the subject: "I plan to stop some monsters in the space corridor between the third and this floor. How many creatures can that space corridor carry?"
The three old men looked at each other.
"The upper limit is three people. If there are more people, it will collapse. I'm afraid it won't work to use the space corridor as a trap. But... our place is very suitable."
The old man laughed. "No one can get out of there except you and us, not to mention the monsters! Hurry up, I'm waiting to see the fun - by the way, when the time comes, take out my sword!"
Another person said expressionlessly: "Haven't you had enough fighting? Who said that you won't fight anymore? You should cultivate your character as an old man?"
The old man angrily retorted: "That was directed at Su--"
The black-haired lord standing next to him smiled and said, "You guys chat."
Old man: “…”
"Ahem," he cleared his throat uncomfortably, "Anyway, I was also a very capable fighter back then, just a little bit less than you. Our space was a little small back then, but it should be able to accommodate nearly ten thousand monsters. When the time comes, we'll build a few more mechanisms, clear them quickly, and release the second batch for you."
Su Xingyuan nodded happily: "Then I'll leave it to you. If you succeed..."
The black-haired lord smiled heartily: "Those electronic products in the human world..."
"Don't worry." The old man, who had long been craving for those video games, immediately became serious and said, "I will never let any monster escape alive!"
At this point, his eyes darkened for a moment: "...and I haven't taken revenge yet."
The other two old men sighed softly.
“We will also work together.”
"Please don't worry."

When choosing the last location to gather monsters, Leafa came up.
Before she opened her mouth, the black-haired lord seemed to have anticipated what she was going to say, and said with a smile: "No."
The blonde girl's anger instantly deflated.
"But we also want to fight monsters for you... At the same time, we have a blood feud with monsters." Leafa was still a little unwilling, she said: "We can only be responsible for the lowest level monsters, we will use all possible methods to set traps. Both warriors and mages will go all out... We are not afraid of death, lord. Please let us go to the battlefield."
Su Xingyuan closed the book in his hand.
He raised his head calmly: "If your defense line is breached, I can only save some people. And you are likely to be among those who are abandoned, because by that time, there will be no time to check how many people I have saved and who I have saved."
Leafa, on the other hand, heard the possibility of loosening up. Her expression softened and she said with a smile, "My Lord, I am a pharmacist. My major is life-saving potions. I don't want to be the one who is saved. I should fulfill my duty."
Su Xingyuan: "You may have forgotten that we now have two dragons."
Leafa: “……Huh?”
Su Xingyuan blinked.
"I remember that there is a special poisonous herb in your world. That herb protected you from the monsters. Maybe you can use it to make something before the monsters attack you. Other than that, there is no arrangement for the two dragons in the territory. Whether you can control them depends on your ability."
Leafa's eyes lit up instantly.
"I understand. Thank you for your advice, Lord!"
——So far, a total of five locations where traps were set have been confirmed.
As long as Su Xingyuan's magic power can hold up, most of the Demon King's army can be transferred to his own territory. Likewise, it was impossible for this method to not miss any monsters, as opening a portal was a very mana-consuming practice. Even though his magic power level had now reached a higher level, if he wanted to continuously maintain the opening of multiple large portals, he would need a short period of time to replenish his magic power.
Su Xingyuan has done everything he can, and it is impossible for him to prevent all risks for people in the real world. Therefore, no matter what the result is, he will not have any psychological burden.
——Of course, if the effect of opening the portal is really not good and does not meet expectations, Su Xingyuan chooses to load the file and restart.
After Leafa left, the little black dragon flapped its wings and flew into Su Xingyuan's arms. Su Xingyuan stroked the scales on its head and said calmly, "Prioritize the safety of the pharmacist."
There will inevitably be casualties in war, but he needs to minimize the losses.
The black dragon rubbed his palm, nodded, and then started reading the book in the black-haired boy's hand with him.
