The chat room exploded because he sold the black-scaled snake carcasses.
Countless people envied, hated, and resented him.
This was also normal. If the protagonist selling snake meat was someone else, he would also be filled with envy, hatred, and resentment.
They were all common folk, so please understand.
It was only human nature.
Just as Zhou Yan was about to continue listing wild rabbit meat to earn spirit coins, a friend request popped up.
Zhou Yan: "゛(‘◇’)？？？"
He was completely bewildered.
This person was not simple, actually managing to add him as a friend.
This must have been achieved with some kind of mysterious item.
Zhou Yan hesitated whether to reject the request.
After all, he wasn't just anyone.
He was a man of integrity.
Not anyone could be accepted.
However.
When he saw the name of the other party's territory.
He decisively put his integrity aside and chose to accept.
Territory notification: "Successfully added [Shen Long Nation · Lord's Troop · 9527th Squad · Qin Yao] as a friend."
Because this person belonged to the Shen Long Nation's military.
This prefix was not something anyone could use; it was certified by the Lord's Space.
It could be understood as an official permit.
As long as it carried such a mark, it was enough to prove they were part of the nation.
He had always heard that each Lord's Trial was essentially a covert international competition.
Because of the international rankings, the top hundred on the list would receive precious rewards, and those on the list were lords carefully cultivated by each country.
The rewards from the international rankings were basically out of reach for individual lords.
Those rewards belonged to people from the military or those from major financial groups.
An individual could never compete with the lords dispatched by each country.
He had been skeptical before, because he had only heard such news and never seen it with his own eyes.
Now that he saw it for himself, he could believe it.
Friend message: "Hello, I'm from the Shen Long Nation Lord's Troop, my name is Qin Yao."
Zhou Yan also replied, "Hello, you want to buy this snake meat."
He knew with his eyes closed that the other party definitely wasn't interested in his handsome face.
Qin Yao looked at the message, slightly surprised, then replied: "Yes, I won't let you suffer a loss. Each snake carcass will be purchased at a price of 1500 spirit coins."
Upon seeing this, Zhou Yan quickly replied: "There's no more snake meat, it's all sold out."
Qin Yao was a little regretful. She hadn't seen the information in the Trading Hall before, and replied: "Then forget it. If you have anything good, you can contact me immediately."
Zhou Yan: "But I have wild rabbits and roosters, do you want them?"
Qin Yao, who was about to end the chat, paused when she saw the message.
She clearly hadn't expected Zhou Yan to have these items.
If it wasn't for the fact that the monsters outside her territory were all undead, she wouldn't have needed to buy food, and she only had this one item that allowed direct friend additions.
If she had added other teammates and they also didn't have food, wouldn't it have been a waste?
This was also why she was willing to spend spirit coins to buy from Zhou Yan rather than using them to add teammates.
Because they had enough spirit coins to focus on the rankings.
Hearing that Zhou Yan still had food to sell, she quickly replied: "Yes!"
"Quite a lot, can you consume it?" Zhou Yan replied.
"As much as you have, I'll take it all," Qin Yao said firmly.
"Alright, 1010 wild rabbits and 1010 roosters each."
Zhou Yan stated an integer, and after deducting the handling fee, he would earn 1000 spirit coins per animal.
Qin Yao was a little surprised. She had expected Zhou Yan to name a high price, but he didn't.
If Zhou Yan were to sell these on the International Trading Hall, the price would definitely be higher.
"Thank you. If you need help in the future, you can contact me. I will help if I can."
Qin Yao's opinion of Zhou Yan rose significantly.
The other party must have done this because she was from the military.
"We'll see."
Zhou Yan left two chickens and put up the rest of the wild rabbits and roosters.
She guessed that the other party must have gone out to hunt monsters outside their territory, and that they were very lucky, with the monsters around their territory being very weak.
"He's truly bold," Qin Yao remarked.
A novice lord daring to explore outside their territory on the very first day showed courage not possessed by ordinary people.
If she hadn't been supported by the nation with a large amount of resources, she wouldn't have dared to venture outside her territory.
It was a pity that her luck wasn't good. Although she had awakened an orange legendary Lord's Space, she had descended into an undead land.
Coupled with summoning a group of Dragon Knight soldiers with voracious appetites, this created a huge food deficit for her.
She looked at the number of wild monsters in the trade and her mouth fell open.
"So many!"
She was surprised, wondering if this lord from the "Heavenly Court" was someone cultivated by a major corporation in the country.
But she dismissed the thought; if they were, they wouldn't be selling food.
This also indirectly proved that the other party was very strong, or had summoned a very powerful hero.
"Perhaps, just a lucky fellow," Qin Yao smiled and confirmed the trade.
"Okay."
Zhou Yan did not refuse.
Having more friends meant more opportunities.
Having friends in the military was not a bad thing.
Territory notification: "Traded with friend [Shen Long Nation · Lord's Troop · 9527th Squad · Qin Yao], obtained 33000 spirit coins."
Qin Yao was about to end the chat again, but the other party sent another message: "By the way, do you need stone?"
"What? Stone!"
Qin Yao on the other end was even more shocked this time.
It was only the first day of the novice trial!
Obtaining stone on the first day, was this guy a child of fortune?
Where did the stone come from?
"Of course, I do! Take as much as you have!" Qin Yao replied quickly.
"It's not that much, only 2240 one-star stones, 117 two-star stones, and only 28 three-star stones. Are you sure you want all of them?"
Zhou Yan replied.
Qin Yao: "(￣ー￣)"
Qin Yao was speechless.
This guy must have exceptionally high luck!
He must have appeared near some abandoned stone mine.
"By the way, how much do you want for the stone?"
"According to market price."
After discussing, both of them arrived at a satisfactory price.
Zhou Yan successfully obtained a colossal sum of 300,000 spirit coins.
Furthermore, he could help the other party build their territory, which could be considered contributing to the country.
Although territory buildings did not require wood and stone during the novice trial, using wood and stone to build walls could increase defense, greatly ensuring the territory's safety.
Later monsters would not be easy to deal with, and if the walls were not sturdy, they could easily be knocked down.
"If you have anything good later, be sure to trade with me first."
Qin Yao had become completely curious about Zhou Yan. Having such a partner would be of immense benefit to her territory.
At the very least, during the trial period, she wouldn't have to worry about food.
"Of course, no problem."
Zhou Yan was also very happy.
The harvest this time was truly immense.
Just selling the monster meat and materials, he had already earned nearly 400,000 spirit coins.
He had to make good use of the first few days.
Otherwise, once everyone reached level five, it would not be so easy to sell meat and earn money again.
With money in hand, Zhou Yan immediately began upgrading his buildings.
