"Huh? Buying it at a high price, how high is the price?"
"What's the use of that thing? It sounds like it's quite high-end."
"Excuse me, what is the Divine Power Crystal?" "
Yeah, I've never heard of it. What is it used for? Someone actually bought it at a high price."
"I've never seen it, but help me."
"The spoils obtained from destroying the Beast God Altar were given to the player with the highest contribution among our group of people. At that time, no one knew what it was used for. Has Boss Luo Ling found a use for it now?"
"Beast God Altar! Could that divine power be the power of the Beast God? It sounds like a treasure."
"I know who has it. Can this clue be exchanged for 100 survival points?"
"Things related to gods must be expensive."
Most players actually don't know what the Divine Power Crystal is. Very few of them participated in the activity of destroying the Beast God Altar.
Many people have only heard of this name now, and then others popularized it and broadened their horizons.
Everyone is very curious about what this thing is used for, and why a leaderboard player openly shouted in so many channels.
The players in the world channel and the current channel were all speculating, and the old friends in the Dawn group were all the mainstays on the leaderboard, and they all had one more or less.
When the altar was destroyed, these leaderboard masters were considered the leaders of their current channels.
Imagine that there are so many players in the world, and the scarcity of leaderboard masters is even higher than that of the Beast God Altar. There may be 5 altars in an area but no leaderboard players.
After seeing Luo Ling's purchase information, they all asked.
"Brother, I just sold a divine power crystal yesterday. What is the use of that thing? So many people bought it."
"I have been studying it for so long but I don't know how to use it. I have been throwing it in the package to take up space. Boss Luo Ling, what price do you offer? I want to see if it is suitable."
"Show off, I have two divine power crystals, but I won't sell them! Hehehe."
"Luo Ling, are you also buying divine power crystals? What is it used for? Can it restore divine power?"
"Well, I was short of survival points at the time, so I sold it for 800. Will I suffer a loss?"
Some of these players are indeed unaware, but there are also some who fish in troubled waters. Players like Jiang Feng who know some of the effects of divine power crystals remain silent.
They don't want this effect to be exposed. Once it is exposed, it will be difficult to receive it again. If you buy it secretly and contact them privately, some players have actually begun to waver. Even if they know that it may be a good thing, if they don't know the use, they might as well exchange it for equipment or building drawings, survival points and other things to arm themselves.
Ten birds in the bush are not as good as one bird in the hand!
Luo Ling is now one of the strongest people in the Shuguang group. His territory ranks the highest, and his personal strength ranks at the forefront.
Facing the confusion of the group members, he explained, "It is not convenient to say too much about the effect of the divine crystal, but you just need to know that it is very useful and valuable. If you want to sell it, you can contact me and the price is negotiable."
"Five thousand? Or ten thousand?"
"Is it so high?"
"Even Luo Ling said that it is a good thing and must be very useful. Will it appreciate more in value if it is kept in the later stage?"
"What if the divine crystals are everywhere in the later stage? Maybe it will depreciate."
"This is completely a psychological game!"
"My curiosity has been completely aroused. Please let me know, even though I don't have a divine crystal, I'm just a spectator."
"It's so tangled! Now I want to sell it, but I'm afraid of losing money."
The players in the Shuguang group did not force or blackmail Luo Ling. They all knew that the other party had no obligation to disclose the specific use, and they would not disclose some confidential information they knew.
Information is inherently asymmetric and it is impossible to be completely transparent. Even saints have selfish motives!
To Luo Ling's surprise, he received a lot of private chats, most of which were asking about prices and uses, and a few were questioning.
Avadi of Avadi Territory "Boss, I have 1 Divine Power Crystal. What price can you offer? And I know a few friends who have Divine Power Crystals. If I help you make a deal, can I get a portion of the reward?"
Joseph of Green Dragon Territory "Why do you want to buy Divine Power Crystals so high-profile? Now they are unwilling to sell them! Man, you are deliberately breaking the rules of the market!"
Xie Lan of Red Maple Territory "Brother Luo Ling, what's the benefit of this thing? I led the team to break through 3 Beast God altars before, and my two teammates and I each got one."
Luo Ling didn't expect Avadi to be an intermediary or broker. He thought about it and replied, "For Divine Power Crystals, I can offer 10,000 survival points, or exchange them with you for some equipment, drawings, potions, and Wolong mulberries. As for the reward, for each successful transaction of a Divine Power Crystal, I will give you 500 survival points, how about it?"
"Actually, I don't really want the survival points. Can I use this crystal of divine power to exchange for the right to use five stalls in the Oak Boutique?" Awadi replied. He had been coveting the profits in the boutique for a long time. He was a middleman who specialized in trading, and he knew the benefits of owning such a store.
However, he also had a clear understanding of his own strength. He was not in the top 200 on the current Dungeon Invasion Points List. Even if the points could be exchanged for a store opening order, it would be difficult for him to exchange it.
Now it would be better to use this crystal of divine power to exchange for five small stalls, so that the things he resold could be auctioned in the place with the greatest exposure without paying Luo Ling a handling fee.
Of course, Awadi knew that the crystal of divine power was a good thing, but it was a waste to keep it in the package and not be able to use it. It would be better to exchange the benefits now, and maybe it would improve some of his reputation and ranking.
Imagine if he got five stalls in the Oak Boutique, then his popularity and credibility would definitely be very high, and he would definitely be more successful in trading as a middleman, and he would be able to get more customers.
Luo Ling knew that the other party was asking for a sky-high price, so he refused without thinking, "Five stalls are too many. I can only spare one stall, and I also require you to put at least excellent-level items on the shelves. The most important thing is that there is a time limit, and it is impossible for you to rent it forever. As for the commission, the lower the price you get, the higher the commission you get."
Since it is a boutique, the style and standard of the store cannot be lowered.
If I sell fine products here, but Awadi sells garbage over there, wouldn't it cause huge brand damage to the Oak Boutique?
This is already the biggest concession Luo Ling can make, and the maximum lease is one year.
If the divine power crystal can not upgrade itself and can serve as a perfect substitute for various precious magic crystals, he will never rent it out in the boutique.
Even if it is rented out, it will be one of the nine stalls reserved for himself.
Awadi was already quite satisfied. Isn't this stall worth more than 10,000 survival points?
He was not afraid that Luo Ling would go back on his word, so he actually sent a contract!
"Hey, this contract is even recognized by the game system. Where did it come from?" Luo Ling was stunned the moment he saw the contract. There are so many good things in the hands of the general public.
Words are not enough. It is safer to write it in black and white on the contract and let the God of Wealth and the game system be witnesses. In
the early stage, players did not have the ability to deceive the gods, forge or tear up the contract at will.
...
Luo Ling was busy discussing the specific provisions of the contract with Awadi, and on the other hand, he was chatting with Xie Lan, Joseph, Jiang Feng and others.
Originally, he had a good impression of the Green Dragon Lord Joseph, but now after seeing the angry questioning tone, he retorted, "Who made the market rules? Only you are allowed to purchase, but I am not allowed to buy at a high price? Everyone competes fairly, and others are not fools. Whoever bids the highest will be sold to him."
The market environment itself is like this. If Luo Ling does not raise the price, it will certainly be difficult to purchase.
Joseph and Jiang Feng are backed by big organizations. Their individual survival points may not be as many as Luo Ling's, but they can easily deal with it after gathering the survival points of the organization.
"You want to fight a price war, right? How many survival points can you have? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you are in the front. We are always here to accompany you!" The tone of the Green Dragon Lord Joseph looked exasperated, "Let's see who can't hold on first."
Luo Ling replied, "Whatever you do, you don't need to notify me."
He didn't want to raise the price maliciously, but the sellers of the divine power crystals have the right to get higher returns. After all, it was that group of people who spent time and risked their lives to destroy the beast god altar, and the final benefit was only a depleted divine power crystal.
The effort and the reward are completely mismatched.
If the other acquirers in the market really offer better conditions, then you can't buy it if you can't buy it.
In this regard, Luo Ling's mentality is very good and he didn't get stuck in a dead end. It's good to have divine power crystals, but you can survive without them.
"Just wait!" Joseph gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have a lot of survival points."
Luo Ling chose to ignore this comment and didn't argue with the other party.
He continued to answer Xie Lan's questions. This female lord had good strength and leadership skills. She had united the players in her vicinity to form an offensive and defensive alliance.
"This divine power crystal has a great effect and cannot be compared with ordinary items. The current purchase price I offer is 10,000 survival points. You can consider it."
To be honest, even if Luo Ling obtained another divine power crystal, he didn't plan to build a third-level thunder tower in a short time.
The more he built, the slower the advancement. There were too many monks and too little porridge.
He was just preparing for a rainy day and preparing to hoard a few as strategic resources so that he wouldn't have to look for space attribute crystals everywhere when he needed to arrange magic arrays such as teleportation arrays or unique buildings in the future.
Xie Lan had been waiting for Luo Ling's reply, and was very surprised when she saw 10,000 survival points.
Someone had contacted her and several teammates, and the number given was only 1,000 points. Now Luo Ling has doubled it tenfold!
You have to know that as a player ranked 182nd in the global territory strength rankings, her survival points settled at 8 o'clock every morning are less than 10,000 points.
Luo Ling was ranked 11th before, and only got 24,715 survival points after the baby dragon auspiciousness was increased by 20.
There are so many things that can be done with these 10,000 survival points. Xie Lan's heart has begun to move, "I will discuss it with my teammates and contact you after the results, okay?"
"Of course, if someone offers a higher price, I can sell it to them, not necessarily to me." Luo Ling joked. 10,000 survival points is already the biggest goal he can give at present, unless the other party covets the stall of Oak Boutique like Awadi.
Xie Lan didn't know whether Luo Ling's words were sincere or testing, but she knew the principle of waiting for the price, so she was ready to wait and see if there was a sucker who would pay a high price.
As an insider, Jiang Feng did not question Luo Ling, but asked with concern, "Your dungeon invasion points have skyrocketed just now. The territory must be under great pressure, right? If the defense tower is destroyed, I can sell you a divine power crystal."
Luo Ling once shared the information with him at the price of a divine power crystal. Now Jiang Feng does not want Luo Ling's territory to have any problems.
Everyone only saw that Luo Ling's points skyrocketed, but the skyrocketing meant that there were a large number of monsters. The Oak Territory may have been hit by the dungeon monsters. Maybe the city walls were broken, the defense towers collapsed, and there were heavy casualties.
Jiang Feng made up for the miserable situation of the Oak Territory in his head, so he reluctantly gave up and planned to squeeze out one of his only two remaining divine power crystals to sell to him.
Luo Ling had no idea that Jiang Feng had so many imaginations, so he replied, "Forget it, you should keep it for yourself. You should have acquired a lot of divine crystals during this period. If you have extra survival points, continue to acquire them. They are very useful!"
"We have acquired a lot, and most of them have been handed over to relevant scientists and scholars for research. Your territory is in ruins, and if you need to rebuild it, use mine to build a defense tower first to avoid being attacked during the day." Jiang Feng added, "Just ask for any resources you need, and the organization should help. Even if the leader does not approve, I am willing to lend you some resources."
This made Luo Ling puzzled.
"Everything is good in the Oak Territory, why rebuild it?"
The ninth-ranked territory needs to be rebuilt, and the rest of the players must have been wiped out long ago.
Jiang Feng, who was far away in the Buzhou Territory, was a little confused.
This seemed different from what he imagined! He replied, "Facing so many monster attacks, is your territory okay?"
"It's okay. I just spent dozens of survival points to repair the damaged city wall. I collected the divine crystals to store a little for my own use. I have used up all the previous ones."
Luo Ling really didn't know what saving was. He used the resources and treasures as soon as he got them, and never let them stay in the package or warehouse overnight.
On the contrary, Jiang Feng had not used the divine crystals for so long, and had been trying to preserve them. Naturally, he could not discover the mystery of the divine crystals.
"Okay, then I won't sell it. By the way, what is your current purchase price?"
"Ten thousand survival points for one."
Jiang Feng took a breath and almost got a stitch in the side. He asked again, "How much did you say?"
"Ten thousand. Does your organization plan to sell it?" Luo Ling knew that the Chinese army also had a hobby of hoarding items. "You can sell the Divine Power Crystals to me at a high price, and then buy them from other players at a low price. How about it?"
"No! Those are not for sale!"
Although Jiang Feng was coveting ten thousand survival points, he still resolutely refused. It seemed that there were more uses for the Divine Power Crystals that had not been discovered, otherwise the price would not have soared to this level.
He didn't believe that Luo Ling was the type of person who was stupid and rich. It must be because the Divine Power Crystal was only worth so many survival points.
At the same time, Jiang Feng also felt a sense of urgency. Luo Ling suddenly raised the price so high. Would the army's purchase price keep up?
Ten thousand survival points were too high. If they really kept up, I'm afraid that many lords would have to tighten their belts.
Luo Ling was now plotting an open conspiracy. He put the matter on the table. Organizations that were willing to keep up with the price would do so, and those that were unwilling would have to temporarily withdraw from the purchase stage.
"Okay, let's not talk about the Divine Power Crystal." Luo Ling knew that there was no way to continue the conversation, so he changed the subject and said, "Because of the territory upgrade, my batch of Wolong mulberries will mature again. Will you still buy it at the same price?"
Jiang Feng was numb, "Of course! Is your territory now at level five? No wonder it can enter the top ten. It seems that the leading advantage is not small."
"No, no, no, it was only upgraded to level four before."
Luo Ling told the truth. He didn't want to mislead others.
"You upgraded your territory to level 4 so late?" Jiang Feng was quite surprised. "So many of us upgraded faster than you."
"Upgrading the territory too quickly is not necessarily a good thing. Are the city walls and defense towers ready? The territory will be very dangerous if the area is expanded and the defense towers cannot be upgraded or increased in number."
"It is quite dangerous. Today, a monster rushed into the territory. I led my team in a bloody battle for a long time before we killed it all, and a lot of crops were destroyed."
Players who can build stone walls to surround the entire territory like Luo Ling are extremely rare. Most players build walls on all sides of the territory to surround the defense towers.
"Perhaps you can consider building a city wall, but it is very time-consuming and consumes survival points. Once you start building, it is best not to upgrade the territory, otherwise you will never be able to surround it."
Jiang Feng was shocked. He revealed the news, "Do all of you powerful players have the same thinking? Gu Mingzhi built the city wall when he was in the second-level territory. Now he doesn't need to build it every time he upgrades. He only needs to upgrade the defense tower."
The sooner the city wall is built, the more advantageous it is. Jiang Feng is a half-hidden person in the army. He did not directly show himself to the outside world as a member of the Chinese army. Gu Mingzhi's attributes can be directly seen from the name of his territory, Changzheng. He is considered a benchmark of the army and a role model specially established.
It is normal for these two people to have private contact, after all, they are both military personnel.
"So he is like this... No wonder the territory is ranked so high, saving so many resources, which can be used on other buildings."
"Okay, I won't bother you to buy the divine power crystal. Let's talk next time when we are free. It's a bit late now." Jiang Feng was anxious to tell his leader about Luo Ling's spending money. These 10,000 survival points for one was too much!
In fact, Luo Ling only has 20,000 survival points now. He has never thought about how many he can buy. It is good to have one. The funds are not as strong as others think.
The survival points from selling equipment, selling unicorns, and collecting handling fees are all eaten by the money-eating beast of war.
After exiting the game panel, Luo Ling put the matter of the divine power crystal behind his mind and asked Shen An and two apprentices, Cuihua, to go back to sleep.
Money cannot be earned all, and you must know how to give up at the right time.
...
"Chirp!"
"Chirp!"
The rising sun slowly climbed up, bursting with thousands of golden lights.
On the top of the double-layer stone roof, two extremely majestic birds of prey stood proudly, making loud eagle cries, waking up everyone in the Oak Territory from their sleep.
It should be a rooster announcing the dawn, but here it becomes a fierce feather eagle. But these two brothers are happy to do it and are very happy to have this job opportunity.
Luo Ling is now in good health. He is still energetic after only sleeping for a few hours. He is not in the state of an ordinary person on Earth at all.
He pushed open the bedroom window, and a cool breeze blew in, bringing with it the cool and refreshing fragrance of lotus.
The lotus on the second-level cold spring finally bloomed. Although it has not entered the rank, it can still embellish the scenery. Who can say that the descendants of plants grown in the second-level spring water will not enter the rank?
"Good morning, Lord."
"Hello, Lord Luo Ling!"
"Hello, everyone, go and have breakfast."
After Luo Ling finished washing up, he kept greeting the residents. He came to the vacant land reserved in Dongcheng District and prepared to build a school.
In fact, he has always wanted to build this kind of building, but there are no drawings.
The only place where residents can get education is in the library, which should be a place for quiet reading.
Now the library can finally be restored to tranquility and no longer be disturbed by the sounds of teaching and reading.
Do you want to spend wood x500, stone x500, and survival points x1000 to build a school?
Luo Ling immediately chose yes, and then saw a set of buildings appear out of thin air on the vacant land, occupying a large area!
After a series of ping-pong sounds, he saw several two-story houses shaded by grass and trees and a small playground.
Special school buildings, learning efficiency 50, research efficiency 50, and increase of territory survival points 10.
Luo Ling pushed open the school gate and entered, and he could feel a peaceful and tranquil learning atmosphere. If you study or do research here, your efficiency can be increased by as much as 50!
However, there are currently no full-time students and teachers in the Oak Territory, all of them are part-time.
He said to Winnie who followed behind, "You will be responsible for the operation of this school in the future. For the time being, let Brooke, Vera, Violet and you come here once a week for class. You can teach culture and art, history and mathematics, and professional characteristics, etc."
Now the school is just a prototype. Luo Ling hopes that it will be divided into many colleges in the future, such as the Mage College, the Knight College, the Wizard College, the Alchemist College, and the learning or skill training college for ordinary people, etc. If
a territory wants to really develop well, investment in education is essential!
