CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 19: GOLDEN TREASURE CHEST

Lin Rui left the altar and headed straight to the trading market, intending to recharge and Krypton Gold!

The shop still had thirty-four thousand funds left, and they had acquired eighty gemstones, with followers slowly increasing from over nine thousand to 12,588.

Previously, his purchase price was 200 per piece, which wasn’t the highest in the entire region, but not the lowest either. It was considered a mainstream upper price. Most of those selling were regulars who followed the shop. These people didn’t mind the difference of a few or a dozen Realm Coins and would sell it casually if they didn’t see any new equipment upon entering. After all, most people only had one or two gemstones, not worth searching the world for, so the acquisition speed was not fast.

I must reciprocate to those who have supported me.

Feeling the support of these regulars, Lin Rui immediately decided to reciprocate with benefits.

Enhanced-level Weapon (Green) Wild Battle Spear*8 was listed by Lin Rui on the shop, priced at 3000 Realm Coins. [Restriction: Only those who follow the shop have the right to purchase]

In just three seconds, the Enhanced-level Weapons were swept clean, and the shop’s followers quickly broke through twenty thousand, reaching 23,518 and still rapidly rising.

Enhanced-level Armor (Green) Shadow Leather Armor*5 was listed for only a second, and the five pieces of equipment were quickly snapped up.

At this moment, it was purely a race of hand speed honed over years of singlehood. Internet speed, black technology, and plug-ins didn’t exist; it was all about who had quick eyes and hands. Snagging such Enhanced Equipment would increase one’s survival probability by one or two percent.

Since it was lunchtime, most Lords were in their territories, so the market attention was high, and the shop’s follower numbers rapidly surged like a rolling tide. If these goods were sold at night, the effect would surely be better, but Lin Rui needed to enhance his strength to explore relics, as time taken during the early development of the territory was precious.

After listing the green Enhanced Equipment, Lin Rui put up 38 Ordinary-level Weapons and 45 Ordinary-level Armors in one go. In less than 5 seconds, the shop was once again empty.

Correspondingly, the shop funds quickly swelled from 34,400 to 86,280.

Lin Rui didn’t plan to withdraw these funds; instead, he used them all to purchase gemstones and materials.

All kinds of resources were purchased at a 120:100 ratio. Lin Rui added procurement information for wood, stone, and iron ore within the shop. Additionally, he listed 4000 units of precious grain, purchasing gemstones at the rate of 50 units per piece. The Realm Coin purchase price for gemstones was also increased by 10%.

This once again showcased the benefits of having a large number of shop followers. Among the vast amount of procurement information, Lin Rui’s price wasn’t much different from others, just an inconspicuous entry hidden in market transactions. Yet within Lin Rui’s shop, the funds flowed like water and various materials quickly accumulated.

Especially the 4000 units of grain, which were swept away in just a few seconds.

For the sake of the Goddess of Fortune, Lin Rui used more than half of the territory’s funds and more than a third of the grain to exchange for resources. If there were no substantial returns, seeing how he enforced household rules in the future would be a concern.

After spending over half an hour, the shop’s funds were depleted, leaving only two digits hanging at the end. A total of 8070 units of wood, 7928 units of iron, 8219 units of stone, and 260 gemstones were purchased.

The ability to acquire so many gemstones was due to many Lords still not able to use gemstones effectively, and having only one or two in hand was not impactful. It was more beneficial to exchange them for resources to quickly strengthen their capabilities. Among billions of Lords, having about 260 willing to sell their gemstones was quite normal.

Including the 80 gemstones purchased with grain, the previously existing 80 gemstones in the shop, and the 21 gemstones still stored within the territory, a total of 441 gemstones.

This amount is nearly half the price of a Rare-level ring!

With so many resources poured in, let’s see what surprise the Goddess of Fortune will bring.

Lin Rui gathered all the people and had them move all the nearby resources in the trading market to the front of the Goddess’s Pendulum.

He intended to enhance a Golden Treasure Chest, but the cost was staggering, with each resource type costing ten thousand, and a thousand gemstones. Young Master Lin gritted his teeth, enduring a few days to gather, but nine times out of ten, the contents would be something like the Lake Maiden Brand Kidney Treasure, a Rare-level item that would be too powerful to equip.

And risking resources in the early development to gamble on an unknown risk seemed unwise. Maybe after enhancing current strength and rapid expansion, a few days later, another Golden Treasure Chest would be acquired.

Therefore, Lin Rui chose to use the resources to enhance basic chests.

bronze-level treasure chests and Beastmen Wealth Treasure Chests only required 100 Realm Coins, 100 grains, 100 wood, 100 iron, 100 stones, and 10 gemstones for enhancement.

Lin Rui enhanced two bronze treasure chests and two Beastmen Wealth Treasure Chests.

After the sacrifice, a golden cylindrical divine light descended from the sky, tilting from the Goddess’s Pendulum and pouring into the bronze treasure chest.

A bright golden fringe of light appeared gradually on the ancient and profound bronze treasure chest.

Audrey widened her beautiful eyes and said with excitement, "Lord, this bronze treasure chest looks very valuable. If I open it, it’ll surely be remarkable!"

I don’t believe you!

Lin Rui decisively chose to open it: [Ding, you opened a bronze treasure chest blessed once by the Goddess and obtained "Experience Book"*2]

[Ding, obtained "Book of Wisdom"*1]

[Ding, obtained 500 Realm Coins]

[Ding, obtained Resource Pack (Small)*1]

[Ding, obtained Enhanced-level Weapon (Green) Cold-Forged Longsword*2]
