"Thank you, Lord!"
After thanking the Lord, Jerry excitedly opened the "Meteorite Forging Technique" scroll. The skill book quickly dissolved into a beam of light and entered Jerry's body.
A moment later, Jerry opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock. He said to Zhou Yan, "Lord, this forging technique is too powerful! I feel my comprehension of forging has become much more profound!"
Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Then work hard. In the future, this Lord will obtain even better skills. It won't be a problem to make you all god-tier blacksmiths then!"
With the "Inheritance Shrine," Zhou Yan was very confident. If it weren't for the fact that he still needed the dwarves to forge equipment, he would have wanted to send the dwarves into the "Inheritance Shrine" as well.
He could only wait until the end of the newcomer trial.
Zhou Yan looked at the equipment that the dwarves had repaired and was surprised. "You've repaired so much equipment!"
There were nearly four thousand pieces of equipment. This efficiency was too high, far exceeding his expectations.
"We are very grateful to you, Lord, so we stayed up late every day. This is the only way we can thank you."
Jerry replied honestly.
Zhou Yan was truly touched. These dwarves were too adorable.
"You still need to rest. You must get at least eight hours of sleep every day. This is an order."
Zhou Yan genuinely cared for the dwarves and didn't want them to be too tired.
For now, he could only put more effort into their food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Daily wine and meat were indispensable.
"Thank you for your concern, Lord." The dwarves replied in unison.
Nodding, Zhou Yan began to list the repaired equipment in the trading hall and put them up for sale.
A few seconds later, the equipment was sold out at an extremely fast pace, gone in less than two minutes.
The chat room was filled with exclamations, with people shouting, "【Heavenly Court】 Lord, please put up more!"
"Big shot, please put up more! I just saw the message, and by the time I wanted to buy, there was nothing left. You guys have such fast hands."
"You didn't even leave me a single piece of equipment! I'm definitely going to focus all my attention on the messages tomorrow."
"There are more and more monsters now, and my walls are about to be destroyed."
"What's this? One of my buildings was destroyed. Damn it, it took a lot of resources to upgrade it, and now it's gone."
"It's still not strong enough. If the territory's soldiers all had good equipment, the outcome wouldn't be like this."
"【Heavenly Court】 Big shot, can we add each other as friends? I just want to buy a few sets of good equipment."
"I hope the big shot can put more equipment up for sale."
...
The equipment was still in high demand, and with the increasing number of monsters, quite a few pieces of equipment were damaged. A considerable amount of equipment was recovered every day.
However, they were still primarily Black Iron and Bronze-tier equipment, with very few Silver-tier items.
He also wanted to sell more equipment, but the daily quantity was limited. As for who managed to buy it, he couldn't control that.
After the equipment was sold, he returned to the main gate's walls.
Indeed, the number of monsters had increased, and they were charging towards the territory frantically.
However, the power of the 【Ice Tower】 was too great, combined with the poison gas from the 【Poison Gas Tower】 and the support from the 【Blade Tower】, no matter how many monsters there were, they were all ineffective.
Defensive towers were the most crucial defensive means in the territory. He looked at the materials needed for his defensive towers, and only the materials for the 【Blade Tower】 and the 【Earthquake Tower】 were relatively easy to find.
After all, with so many lords worldwide, there was bound to be someone who obtained what he needed.
He started searching, but to his regret, neither the 【National Trading Hall】 nor the 【International Trading Hall】 had anyone selling these items.
So, he posted a message in the 【International Chat Room】: "Seeking to purchase all kinds of materials, elemental crystals, high-level materials, and rare materials. Quantity is unlimited. Friends who have them can directly private message me."
He set his status to "available for private message," but other information was not displayed, so the other party could not see any details.
As soon as the message was sent, many people worldwide began to contact him. Among them were those who just wanted to chat aimlessly, whom he immediately blacklisted.
Afterward, he found that some people did possess some elemental crystals, but only one or two. As for the price, he offered the market price.
One-star crystals were uniformly purchased for one thousand spirit coins.
If the other party hesitated or wanted to increase the price, he would offer a slight increase, but never more than twelve hundred spirit coins.
Because at this stage, only a few people used these items, and the demand was definitely not as high as his. Others holding them were useless, so it was better to exchange them for spirit coins to develop their territories. Therefore, he acquired a significant number of crystals.
As for those who quoted exorbitant prices, he directly added them to his blacklist, not bothering to say a word.
These people possessed one-star crystals. He soon saw a lord mention that they had earth-attribute crystals.
Earth-attribute crystals could be used to upgrade the 【Spirit Field】 and the 【Earthquake Tower】, which he needed. The other party also mentioned having around ninety or so.
He definitely couldn't let this deal slip away. He quickly asked, "I'll take them all. How about purchasing them at one thousand spirit coins each?"
"Well, can the price be a little higher? One thousand one hundred spirit coins per crystal," the other party asked.
"No problem." This price was definitely acceptable.
"Really? That's great! I just want to know if you'll still need them in the future, because I should be able to obtain quite a few more earth-attribute crystals," the other party asked.
"No problem, I can purchase them long-term," Zhou Yan replied.
"Then let's add each other as friends." The other party said.
"I'll add you."
Zhou Yan actively added the other party as a friend.
Territory Notification: "You have become friends with 【That Night—Wukelang】. Your territory name is displayed, but all other information is kept confidential from them."
The other party was also a foreign friend, but Zhou Yan didn't care which country they were from; it was purely a commercial transaction.
Territory Notification: "Spirit Coins -95000. Obtained One-Star Earth-Attribute Crystal x95."
After the transaction was completed, he began to upgrade the defensive towers.
Territory Notification: "Consumed 30,000 spirit coins and ten One-Star Earth-Attribute Crystals. 【Earthquake Tower】 level has been upgraded to 21."
Territory Notification: "Consumed 35,000 spirit coins and twenty One-Star Earth-Attribute Crystal Cores. 【Earthquake Tower】 level has been upgraded to 22."
Territory Notification: "Consumed 40,000 spirit coins and thirty One-Star Earth-Attribute Crystal Cores. 【Earthquake Tower】 level has been upgraded to 23."
The Earthquake Tower could only be upgraded to level 23. However, the 【Earthquake Tower】 had gained an additional special skill.
【Building: Earthquake Tower】
【Level: 23】
【Upgrade Requirement: 40,000 spirit coins, 40 One-Star Earth-Attribute Crystal Cores】
【Quality: SSS (0/3)】
【Upgrade Requirement: Three Earthquake Towers】
【Defense: 39000/39000】
【Special Attribute 1: Deals earthquake damage to enemies.】
【Special Attribute 2: Unleashes a large-area earthquake wave every hundred minutes.】
【Special Attribute 3: Can unleash a ground roar every two hours.】
【Description: I will control the earth and become the enemy's nightmare.】
This skill looked very good. With this skill, the defense on the left side should also be secured.
He had thirty-five earth-attribute crystals remaining, so he began to upgrade the 【Spirit Field】 again.
