Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 233: Chapter 231: We Don’t Accept Junk

“I’ve heard that the day for the ranking reset is coming soon. These big shots are finally starting to make their move.”

Just as Lin You was observing the leaderboard, he heard the discussion of other lords nearby.

“Reset so soon? Is it coming again?”

“You mean… the Demon uprising?”

“It should be right. Once the Demon uprising occurs, the difficulty of the Secret Realm will greatly increase, making it difficult to gather resources.”

“Yeah, at that time, forget about the Secret Realm, it’ll be hard to collect Territory Essence in the Main Demon Plane.”

“I guess these big shots want to harvest as many resources as they can in these last few days.”

“Territory Essence, huh? I wish I could go too, but my strength doesn’t allow it…”

As they spoke, the lords all turned their heads in unison, looking at a huge island in the center of the Floating Islands, full of envy.

Lin You stood to the side, filled with doubt.

Demon uprising?

Is that the danger Ji Yunshuang mentioned earlier?

He was a bit worried at first because it would likely involve Tier Ten Demons.

But after hearing the lords’ latter conversation, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Territory Essence!

They seemed to mention Territory Essence just now!

It’s the material for upgrading a Tier Seven Territory to Tier Eight.

Addicted to searching high and low, he just stumbled upon it effortlessly.

Originally, Lin You had thought about inquiring about the source later, but unexpectedly, he overheard others discussing it.

Curious, he pulled over a nearby lord who seemed honest and asked softly:

“Hey, brother, I wanted to ask, what is the Territory Essence you mentioned?”

His tone was very polite, attracting the man’s gaze to him, looking at him with a peculiar expression.

“You don’t even know about Territory Essence?”

His expression was like looking at a primitive tribesperson.

Lin You awkwardly smiled and said, “I really don’t know, I just upgraded to Tier Seven, and there are many things I don’t understand yet.”

“I see.” The man realized suddenly and couldn’t help but glance at Lin You again, his eyes with a hint of nostalgia.

Newcomers always have a lot they don’t know at first.

He didn’t think too much about it and kindly started explaining to Lin You.

“Territory Essence is the additional material for upgrading your Territory post-Tier Seven. There are ten types, such as the Plant Type’s Natural Origin, the Angel Type’s Holy Light Origin, or the Demon Type’s Destruction Origin.”

“And how can one obtain these things?” Lin You asked curiously.

“That’s easy, just go to the Main Demon Plane and kill Leader-level Demons to collect them.”

“Main Demon Plane?”

“Yes, the Main Demon Plane,” the man nodded.

“You might not know since you just arrived, but the Main Demon Plane connects to all realms, so Tier Seven and above lords often go there to hunt Demons to collect Origins. See that central Floating Island, that’s where the Space Passage to the Demon Plane is established.”

The man spoke while pointing to the distance.

Lin You looked in that direction, and indeed saw an island significantly larger than other platforms floating in the center of the group of islands, shrouded by Holy Light.

Even from afar, one could feel a strong sense of oppression.

Occasionally, a few terrifying Giant Dragons could be seen circling the edges of the island.

And on the island, a vast chasm seemed to be absorbing everything around it, with beastly roars emanating from within.

“How is it? Spectacular, isn’t it? You can check it out yourself if you get the chance,” the man kindly said, “but I advise against going there for now.”

“Why?”

“Because word came back saying in a few days, there’s going to be a Demon uprising, and at that time, the space barriers between us and the Main Demon Plane will become extremely thin, making it the most dangerous period.”

“Such a thing?”

Lin You suddenly understood.

His guess was right; the Demon uprising was indeed what he knew.

There would be a mass appearance of Tier Eight and Nine, even Tier Ten Demons, and possibly encounters with high-tier lords from other realms.

Going now would be tantamount to certain death.

The Main Demon Plane is undoubtedly dangerous.

After the shock, he quickly expressed his gratitude: “Thanks for the info, brother, I’ll be careful.”

“Haha, no problem at all, no need to be so polite. By the way, my name is Meng Jian. How should I address you, brother?”

“Lin You.”

“Lin You? Nice name.”

Meng Jian grinned, a straightforward fellow.

Then, after enthusiastically chatting with Lin You about Territory Essence, he left the platform with his companions to delve into the Secret Realm.

Having obtained news about the Natural Origin, Lin You didn’t linger any longer, directly leaving the platform and using the Teleportation Array at the platform’s edge to transport himself into the city plaza below.

Since the Demon Plane is riddled with dangers, he certainly needed to boost his strength during this period.

Currently, the fastest way for him to enhance his strength was to create a large number of Symbiotic Moss to replicate attributes, and to delve into the Secret Realm to collect Territory Essence and upgrade more Tier Eight Species.

But regardless of the method, it required immense resources and time.

Especially the Symbiotic Moss.

With good luck, 300,000 Magic Energy could create a mutation, whereas unlucky, it might not succeed even with 600,000.

He barely managed to produce four or five from the 2 million Magic Energy he just acquired from purging the Secret Realm, and developing the territory also required Magic Energy.

In conclusion…

The amount of Magic Energy he lacked wasn’t just a little—he was practically broke.

“Alas… Looks like I’ll have to sell some stuff to get money first.”

Lin You sighed, glancing inside his personal space.

Previously, he obtained treasures from the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, leaving a territorial Sacred Artifact of Angel Type, a Succubus Token of Demon Type, and a recently acquired Experience Ball.

All these could be sold.

Anyway, he didn’t need them; converting them into Magic Energy to enhance himself was the priority.

With this thought, he left the Teleportation Plaza and walked into one of the busiest streets.

Gradually, he was attracted by the dazzling array of things on the street.

No doubt.

The central area of the Secret Sanctuary was truly prosperous.

Walking on the street, Lords and Cultivators came and went everywhere, accompanied by constant calls and shouts echoing around.

From time to time, he could see teams from Cultivator Sects passing by, all carrying various weapons or Magical Treasures, giving him a feeling of being in a Mystical World.

On both sides of the street, various shops stood, with a bustling flow of people, having exaggeratedly high customer traffic.

Lin You glanced around and chose a shop called “Ten Thousand Treasures Tower” to enter.

Because the name of this shop was straightforward, it was obviously a place for buying and selling various treasures, and it was also the largest shop on the entire street.

Indeed, without surprise.

As he walked through the door into the hall, he was instantly astonished by the dazzling treasures displayed before his eyes.

At a glance, it was full of treasures he had never seen before.

He even saw in several arrays-protected light screens, Species Secret Treasures and Territorial Sacred Artifacts for sale, even Species Tokens were available!

Following others, he walked into the shop, casually clicking on one of the Species Secret Treasure information for viewing.

[Species Secret Treasure: Fierce Beast Power]

[Treasure Type: Enhancement]

[Secret Treasure Level: A-level]

[Treasure Effect: Enhance Power by 2.5%, with a 25% chance of adding forced knockback effect upon attack, usable for Beast Type Species.]

[Introduction: A secret treasure used to enhance species, can be used in the Species Base, enhancing only a single type of species.]

[Selling Price: 4,999,999]

Whoa!

An A-level Secret Treasure selling for 5 million.

This is outrageous!

Lin You couldn’t help but secretly complain in his heart.

By that account, wouldn’t the A-level Secret Treasure he just got also sell at this price?

This made him somewhat tempted.

But soon, he dismissed the idea.

After all, the secret treasure he had greatly benefited him, selling it would be foolish.

Then, he continued to examine a piece of armor emitting a dark golden glow on the side.

[Equipment: Gilded Breastplate]

[Level: Tier Eight]

[Rebound: Reflects 20% damage upon attack and returns it to the attacker.]

[Extra: Unenchant]

[Selling Price: 500,000]

“Hm?”

A piece of Tier Eight Equipment can sell for 500,000?

Lin You was stunned.

Immediately, his eyes lit up with excitement, discovering a perfect business opportunity.

That was to hunt Tier Eight Demons, collect materials to have the Dwarves forge them into equipment, and then sell it.

Previously, due to high material costs and his inability to deal with Tier Eight Demons, he cut off this revenue stream.

But now it was different; he had the power to fight Tier Eight Demons, totally self-sufficient, and earn big!

Moreover, the equipment forged by the Dwarf Race was clearly superior in quality than those crafted by ordinary craftsmen, so selling them wouldn’t be an issue.

What he lacked now was a decent sales channel.

With this thought, he nodded silently.

He then wove through the bustling crowds in the hall, finding a store steward accounting at the counter.

“Hello, I’d like to see your shopkeeper, is it convenient?”

As he approached, Lin You directly stated his intention.

The steward, who was still calculating numbers, frowned upon hearing Lin You’s voice, slowly raising his head.

“What’s the matter? Our shopkeeper does not usually meet people, just tell me directly.”

His tone was courteous, but there was a hint of displeasure.

He seemed annoyed that Lin You interrupted him.

Especially when he noticed Lin You only had a Tier Seven aura, his expression became even colder.

Lin You realized he was abrupt, not showing any abnormality, and continued, “I want to ask your shopkeeper whether you accept equipment, my craftsmen can forge equipment above Tier Eight long-term.”

“Tier Eight equipment?”

The steward put down the Cinnabar Brush with a trace of disdain in his eyes.

Yet he maintained his professional demeanor, calmly stating:

“Sorry, our Ten Thousand Treasures Tower already has a fixed supply of equipment, and only accepts the finest forged equipment. If it’s ordinary Tier Eight, please try other shops.”

The message was clear.

Our Ten Thousand Treasures Tower is a reputable shop, not accepting junk!
