The Monster is Coming

Chapter 412 A Brand New Experience, That Despicable Merchant

Ecstasy and breakdowns of defenses were happening simultaneously in various cities.

Without hesitation, Ye Ming, who had qualified, decisively tore open the packaging of the high-efficiency nutrient canister that had been prepared at his feet, and laboriously held it to connect it to the power supply interface of the game pod.

He then nimbly lay down inside the cabin.

The lid was closed, and the cold nutrient solution quickly filled the container.

The view suddenly dimmed.

Before long, magnificent and beautiful CG scenes unfolded in his mind, depicting the areas of the monster world that the player had explored, as well as the representative forces.

When the CG played to the Azure Star Sea, Ye Ming felt a complex and indescribable emotion welling up inside him.

In the opening CG of the previous round, shared by forum players.

First to appear is the Ancient God Arena located in the Sea of ​​Death, with a backdrop of muscular, roaring champion warriors.

Secondly, there is the majestic figure of him, commanding the legion, appearing and disappearing amidst the surging sea of ​​mist on the island of Mingwu.

Next is the golden sphere of light representing the will of Shuyan within the Shuyan domain.

Finally, on the lava throne of the Ascended Island, there is a crimson figure surrounded by elemental radiance.

Four strong contenders stand side by side, creating a clear competitive landscape.

But in the new CG scene unfolding before him, the seascape was still magnificent, but the content had changed.

The opening scene still features the ancient gods' arena, represented by champion fighters.

Next, the scene shifts to the domain of Shuyan, where a ball of willlight hangs high in the sky.

It indifferently looked down at the former territory of the Mist Clan, which had already changed hands, and the ruins of the Ascended Clan's buildings that covered the sea. Four streams of rule power floated in front of it. Then, its senses extended and it looked towards the direction of the Ancient God Arena.

The Mist Clan and the Ascended Clan, both reduced to ruins, became mere background to highlight Shu Yan.

The CG scene flashed by quickly, without lingering, but the visual impact of that instant declared a fact more cruelly than any words:
The old era has ended, and a new hegemon has been crowned.

Ye Ming watched silently, his face expressionless, but a raging fire was burning in his heart.

The past is history, but his future will be rewritten.

Before long, all the light and shadow disappeared, and he found himself in a strange space.

All around was an endless expanse of pale blue void.

Directly in front of us stood a magnificent blue crystal wall that defied description.

The crystal wall is not a physical entity, but rather appears to be formed by the convergence of countless flowing primordial symbols, as vast as a starry sea.

The interior of the wall was divided into different compartments, where countless monsters floated and swam, including fiery red eagle-headed monsters with outstretched wings and cries, enormous lava behemoths, and various elemental life forms, etc.

These are the foundation of the monster world, the derivative form of the world framework: the primordial monsters.

This is also the starting point that will determine his future path: the character creation space.

As a new player, he can get the first-generation primordial monster for free as his starting point.

Before entering the game, Ye Ming had already made the initial choice of the source.

My gaze fell upon the primordial monster, Twilight Shadow, shaped like a black cloud, in cell number 11.

The special effect of Twilight Shadow is that it allows players to enter a shadow state, ignoring all physical damage.

Even at level 1, it can exempt you from all non-rule-based physical damage.

However, damage in the form of energy cannot be exempted, including melee-inflicted health damage or various elemental damage.

After focusing his gaze, the challenger's prompt echoed in his mind:
[Challenger's prompt: Are you sure you want to choose "Twilight Shadow" as your initial Soul?]

Yes!
The next second, a new prompt popped up in my mind.

[Challenger's Hint: Initial Soul selection complete. Please name your player character...]

A fresh start, he gave himself a new title: Commander of the Mist Legion.

[Challenger's Hint: Name selected successfully, qualification officially activated, hidden mission updated.]

[Hidden Quest: The Mist Legion]:
First-stage privilege: Consume 5000 sacrificial points to revive a designated member of the Mist Clan.

Resurrection cap: 0/1000.

To unlock the second phase, you must contain one rule territory (0/1, regardless of the type of rule territory).

……

Along with the prompt, a magnificent painting was also directly imprinted deep in his consciousness.

A gray mist, emerging from the depths of his memory, spread across his mind.

In the mist, countless blurry yet incredibly familiar figures stood.

They remained in their life positions: some gripped their mist blades, poised to charge; some were casting spells, their fingertips wreathed in dim, misty energy; and some leaned on each other, as if holding their last line of defense…

Although the faces were blurry and it was impossible to tell exactly who they were, Ye Ming could clearly sense the unique aura of the Mingwu Clan warriors emanating from each figure.

They stand silently in this void of consciousness, like sculptures frozen in time.

He awaits to gather enough sacrificial power to bring them back from this eternal silence.

This silent scene is more powerful than any inspiration.

It also embodies the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Ye Ming took a deep breath, his consciousness exiting the resurrection space of the hidden mission, and his gaze refocusing on the initial interface.

Three dynamic maps are slowly unfolding from the interface, each presenting a distinct regional landscape.

Left side map: The Sea of ​​Fallen Stars.

The scene depicts an endless expanse of azure blue, dotted with numerous islands.

Fragments of stars burning with various colors of light occasionally streak down from the sky, crashing into the sea and creating towering columns of water, or leaving craters on islands.

Beneath the surface of the sea, the outline of a sunken city and crystal caves emitting a ghostly glow can be vaguely seen.

Scene Description: At the intersection of void rifts, fragments carrying void matter occasionally fall into this place. Among the falling meteorites, there may be special minerals from the depths of the void, twisted and crystallized... of great value. The scene is highly dangerous, and the energy at the meteorite impact point is extremely unstable, which can easily cause spatial ripples and destruction. It is suitable for explorers who dare to take risks and are good at seizing opportunities.

Middle map: Ash Wasteland (Rumbling Continent).

The scene depicts a vast, scorched-brown plain, dotted with the metallic wreckage of massive war vehicles, lying prostrate on the ground like the skeletons of giant beasts.

Scene Introduction: The ruins of civilization and the land of new life. The barren land is permeated with inert energy radiation, which has also given rise to mutated minerals and strange plants and animals that have adapted to the radiation environment. The intensity is moderate, making it suitable for small groups of players to explore.

Map on the right: Ruins of Illusory Sounds (Pale Continent).

Scene Description: A land where strange sounds constantly echo, where one must always be wary of being corrupted by the chaotic sound waves. It is home to a large number of sound-based life forms and is suitable for players who prefer hunting and growth.

……

Along with the distribution of player qualifications, three new maps for beginners were also launched.

These three map scenarios each have their own characteristics and are suitable for different types of players.

However, in terms of the probability of encountering an opportunity, the Starfall Sea is obviously higher than the other two scenarios.

If you're lucky enough to encounter a void planet that has fallen and carries high-value resources, you can gain substantial resource rewards, or even become rich overnight.

After opening the three maps and viewing more detailed descriptions, including the distribution of monster types, Ye Ming made a judgment in his mind.

He decisively chose the leftmost map: the Fallen Star Sea.

Click!

After making the selection, a shattering sound suddenly came from the pale blue crystal wall directly in front of me.

The phantom claw, composed of pure shadow, suddenly broke free from its shackles within the crystal wall and tore out.

It hurtled toward him with an oppressive force.

This is the initial soul he chose: Twilight Shadow.

The next second, a strong sense of weightlessness brought on by the spatial displacement struck.

When his vision cleared again, a deafening roar instantly engulfed him.

"Brothers, the Roaring Stars Guild is officially established today! We are recruiting promising new members. In the future, we will surely reach the pinnacle of Emperor's Tomb Village and replace the Divine Hall Guild as number one. If you want to get on their good side in advance, add me as a friend. The future will be created by us. Come and become a founder!"

"Don't push! Who stepped on my foot? You f***ing XXXX!"

"Everyone here is a lucky person who drew a spot in this round. Let's happily begin our exploration."

"I'm being crushed to death! Can you bastards in front move a little? Call me 'Grandpa' and get out of here!"

The number of figures around them was increasing rapidly every second, and players were constantly being teleported out due to spatial overload.

The next second, a game notification sounded in Ye Ming's mind, and he was forcibly teleported out.

Once his vision cleared, he found himself on a platform constructed from rough rocks and simple timber.

This is clearly the spatial exit of the Falling Star Sea.

Looking around, the platform, the beach, and the shallow sea were densely packed with newly arrived players, their numbers as numerous as the tide.

During this time, new players were constantly being brought in by white light.

"Holy crap, the texture of this seawater is amazing! Is this the monster world? I finally got the qualification! I've been waiting for three years! Do you know what I've been through these three years? I watched the live stream every day, it was so frustrating!"

"Anyone want to team up to hunt crabs? We can hunt them all day, then have a crab-grilling dinner together in the evening. Our wonderful gaming journey has officially begun!"

"Looking for a damage-absorbing dad. Our team is missing you. You need to have a good personality, and preferably be good-looking too."

"Who touched my butt? They're asking for it!"

"Hurricane Guild is recruiting. Great benefits, lots of girls, cash bonuses during holidays..."

Various shouts, sounds of life force attributes being released, and the salty smell of the sea breeze mingled together, creating a chaotic yet vibrant and lively atmosphere.

Ye Ming stood in the crowd, feeling the noise that was completely different from the solemn military formation of the Mingwu Clan.

A feeling I had never experienced before arose in my heart.

He is no longer the leader of a clan, but bears the heavy burden of the survival of hundreds of millions of people, and every step he takes must be as if he were walking on thin ice.

Although still burdened with the heavy mission of resurrecting their people, the way forward has changed dramatically.

He no longer needed to immediately plunge into the bloody, meat-grinding battlefield, nor did he need to be constantly on guard against open and hidden attacks from all sides.

You can observe the spectacular sight of falling stars in the sky over this sea area, listen to the sound of waves crashing against the rocks, and even explore the details of this world with pure curiosity, just like the new players around you.

This possibility of slowing down, and the sense of relaxation that comes from not having to constantly keep your nerves on edge.

For him, it was an unprecedented luxury experience.

He took a deep breath of the sea-scented air, his gaze sweeping over the bustling crowd and into the distance.

The journey continues, and the goal remains unchanged.

But this time, perhaps we can move forward at a different pace.

The players who had gathered there quickly split into two groups.

Some, along with their friends, excitedly rushed to the beach or jumped directly into the crystal-clear water, intending to start their exploration of the ocean.

Another group of players chose to venture into the island's dense jungle.

Without hesitation, Ye Ming stepped forward and followed the group heading deeper into the island.

His choice was based on considerations of the characteristics of his life soul.

Upon arrival, this body was extremely weak, and the Twilight Shadow Soul was better suited to using its stealth and surprise attack advantages in complex terrain, rather than operating in open seas.

The environment inside the island is clearly better suited to his strengths.

More importantly, those "fallen stars" that fall from the sky are difficult to retrieve accurately when they fall into the sea, but they are easy to search when they fall on islands.

If you want to quickly obtain your first bucket of "sacrificial power", exploring the island is undoubtedly the most efficient option.

During the waiting period before obtaining the qualification, he had already made detailed plans for his development.

While resurrecting one's people is the ultimate goal, it cannot be rushed.

If you gain 5000 sacrificial power, you will immediately revive one member of your clan.

The resurrected clansmen also need to grow from scratch. In the early stages, they cannot provide effective assistance at all. Instead, they will drain the precious starting power and severely slow down his initial accumulation period.

This means that all the pressure is split equally between the two weaker individuals, resulting in them struggling together at the bottom.

Therefore, he devised a sustainable plan.

Phase 1: Prioritize investing in yourself.

All the sacrificial power gained in the early stages should be used to improve the body tempering level and star vein level, and even to inlay new life souls.

You can revive three clansmen to help you, but you must prioritize securing first place on the newbie challenge leaderboard to receive a 100 million sacrificial power reward.

Phase Two: Establishing a Revival Fund.

Once he has a stable income, he will deposit one-tenth of his daily sacrificial power earnings into a special "resurrection fund pool".

This money is earmarked for one purpose only: to resurrect the people.

This way, his own continuous strengthening will not be affected, and he can steadily accumulate capital for the great cause of resurrection.

Phase 3: The snowball effect.

Once the resurrected members of the tribe become players, they must also abide by the same rules.

One-tenth of the future profits will be continuously invested in the "revival fund".

This process continues in a virtuous cycle.

The more clansmen are resurrected, the faster the fund pool accumulates, thus accelerating the return of subsequent clansmen.

Once the revival slots are full, proceed to the next stage of the challenge to increase the maximum number of revival slots.

This is a long-term strategy centered on him and aimed at sustainable development.

First, strengthen ourselves and establish a solid foundation, then use war to sustain war, and gradually achieve the ultimate goal.

Emotionally, he longed to see his compatriots immediately, but reason told him that this was the most efficient way.

three days later.

Deep within the island, the environment is as humid and hot as a steam room.

The sunlight struggled to penetrate the layers of giant leaves, casting dappled, shimmering spots of light through the forest.

The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of various plants, and the chirping of insects and birds filled the air all around.

Ye Ming moved silently through this green labyrinth.

With the added benefit of the Twilight Shadow ability, his figure seemed to leap through the shadows.

Sometimes it blends into the shadows of tree trunks or rocks and disappears completely; other times it appears like a wisp of smoke, instantly moving from one shadow to another several meters away, its trajectory unpredictable.

The entire process was completely silent, without even a breeze.

As he moved about, Ye Ming's gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, quickly scanning the surrounding environment.

He quickly spotted a fanged beast munching on berries in the bushes.

This is a relatively common monster in the jungle, with thick skin and tough flesh.

Having hunted many times, Ye Ming already knew its weaknesses.

Once it locked onto its target, Ye Ming moved like a ghost, using the cover of tree trunks and dense vines to make several short leaps and silently circle around to the side and rear of the beast.

It's now.

With a light push of his foot, his figure suddenly blurred, transforming into a wisp of black mist moving swiftly close to the ground.

In an instant, it appeared behind the fanged beast.

His figure emerged from the black mist, and the short blade he had purchased from the Adventurer's Dungeon World for 280 points pierced the beast's ear like a viper's tongue, precisely striking a fatal weak point that was not protected by thick hide.

The dagger stirred, severing the nerves.

The massive body of the fanged beast trembled violently, collapsing to the ground without uttering a sound. It then turned into mist and was absorbed by Ye Ming, leaving only a small tuft of energy-containing beast fur on the ground.

Ye Ming waved his hand and put it into his spatial bag.

The moment the short blade left his body, his figure had already vanished again.

Like ink seeping into water, it silently retreated into the nearest shadow, its presence concealed.

A few breaths later, the rustling sound of branches and leaves swaying came from the canopy of a tree several kilometers away.

Ye Ming's figure appeared silently, his gaze locking onto a new target: a brightly colored poisonous feathered monkey leaping among the branches.

Just then, the Poison Feathered Monkey seemed to sense a danger, stopped jumping, and turned its little head warily.

The next instant, Ye Ming plummeted down from the dense shadows of the trees above.

A flash of dark light appeared, and the short blade instantly severed the base of the Poison Feather Monkey's tail feathers, which it used to maintain its balance among the branches.

The poisonous winged monkey instantly lost its balance and opened its mouth in panic, trying to hiss.

Ye Ming's second strike followed immediately, like a vengeful ghost.

Taking advantage of its loss of balance and backward tilt, exposing its throat, I thrust out a short blade, precisely piercing its open mouth, the tip penetrating straight into its brain.

The poisonous feathered monkey's body trembled violently, then went completely limp.

Ye Ming gripped the tree branch with one hand and hovered, deftly drawing his short blade.

The corpse of the Poison Feathered Monkey turned into a cloud of mist, which he absorbed, leaving behind several poisonous feathers which he also stored in his spatial bag.

He let go, and his figure vanished as he fell.

The entire assassination was carried out smoothly. One strike broke the balance, creating an opportunity, and then another strike killed the target, completing the hunt.

As the white light representing the upgrade of his life soul flashed across his body, Ye Ming felt the increasing power surging within him, and a sense of exhilaration welled up inside him.

He had almost forgotten what it felt like to fight with an ordinary body, relying solely on skill, timing, and even precision.

After advancing to the demigod realm, their life form undergoes a fundamental transformation.

His fighting style also changed as his strength increased.

Later on, it would frequently invoke the elements of heaven and earth, mobilize vast energy, and use absolute power to crush and bombard.

While that level of combat is grand and magnificent, it lacks the extreme danger and excitement of fighting on the edge of a knife and deciding life and death in a small space.

Now, this frail body has pulled him back to the most primal and instinctive combat level deep in his memory.

Every move must be carefully calculated, as even the slightest mistake could lead to a fatal counterattack.

The experience of having to push one's skills to the limit to win gave him a long-lost sense of exhilaration.

It's like a captain who's used to sailing a massive ship across the seas suddenly taking the helm of a small boat again, wrestling hand-to-hand with nature amidst raging waves.

Although dangerous, it brought back that primal sense of control, and even the desire to conquer.

Perhaps, the deeper reason lies in the infinite margin of error that players have.

The entire process is purely experiential, with no real risk involved.

He took a deep breath of the humid forest air, and a smile curved his lips.

After a short leap, the figure disappeared back into the shadows, stealthily moving toward its next target.

The game started much more interesting than he had expected.

Half a day later, Ye Ming brought up the event ranking interface.

At this moment, he firmly holds the top spot on the list, leading the second-place player by 23 levels in overall life spirit level.

I logged off once during that period to ask the dean for leave, and spent the rest of the time hunting.

My current body forging level has reached level 2, and I have opened three star vein slots, which are respectively inlaid with Twilight Shadow, Star Shift, and Extreme Speed.

These three life souls are all for the purpose of improving themselves more efficiently.

His next step is to focus all his sacrificial energy on crafting rune resonance weapons.

Temporarily abandon any defensive attributes and pursue maximum output to improve hunting efficiency.

A good weapon can significantly increase output efficiency.

At this moment, his main soul, Twilight Shadow, had reached level 43. His figure flashed briefly among the trees, as if leaping through the veins of shadow.

His gaze quickly locked onto a small clearing in the woods ahead.

A group of five howling beasts were gathered there, gnawing on the remains of an unknown animal.

After Ye Ming's figure flashed once more, he cut into the shadows on the flank of the beast horde like a ghost.

Then his figure suddenly emerged from the shadows, the short blade arcing as it precisely sliced ​​through the throat of the nearest howling beast. Before blood could even splatter, his figure had already blurred once more.

Almost simultaneously, he teleported behind another howling beast that had its back to him, and thrust his short blade upwards, piercing its soft ribs and stabbing straight into its internal organs.

With a twist and a pull of the wrist, the figure slid to the side using the momentum, while the arm lashed out like a whip, and the short blade flew out of the hand and spun around.

The dagger swiftly grazed the eye socket of the third howling beast that had just turned around, leaving a cloud of blood mist in its wake, its momentum undiminished.

The high-speed feature is activated at this time.

His figure blurred into a blur as he caught the flying dagger. With a slight bend in his knees, he swept past the belly of the fourth howling beast, the dagger slicing upwards to cut open its relatively soft abdomen.

As he stood up, he forcefully kicked off the tree trunk in front of him with his toes.

His body materialized at an illogical angle and then bounced back, the short blade emerging like a venomous snake from its hole, piercing the gaping maw of the last howling hyena trying to pounce, straight through the back of its head.

The entire hunting process was completed in the blink of an eye.

Ye Ming's figure solidified in the shadows in front of the clearing, his back to the beasts, as he slowly flicked the blood droplets off his short blade.

Behind him, the five howling beasts seemed to thaw after being paused, letting out short howls in succession before collapsing to the ground and turning into wisps of mist that he absorbed.

Ye Ming didn't even glance back at the results. Without stopping, his figure vanished again, disappearing into the shadows of the trees ahead as he began his stealth journey.

Unlike rune-resonated weapons, all other weapons have durability.

Ye Ming could sense that the cheap short blade in his hand was on the verge of breaking.

He planned to sacrifice the completely damaged weapon to a higher-dimensional deity for dismantling, and then exchange it for a dungeon-dropped weapon with higher sharpness.

As for rune resonance weapons, they are too expensive to manufacture, so we won't consider them for now.

As he walked through the shadows of the forest, planning his next equipment upgrade, a sudden light shone overhead.

Along with it came a deafening rumble.

The light then became dazzling and intense.

He looked up sharply.

A meteorite, engulfed in raging flames and trailing a long, fiery tail, was tearing through the sky and crashing down into the jungle ahead with a deafening roar.

A falling star, an opportunity!
A glint flashed in Ye Ming's eyes. Without any hesitation, he transformed into a swift black shadow and rushed at full speed toward the meteorite's predicted impact point.

When choosing a scene, he realized that this new map had the opportunity for falling meteorites from the void.

I didn't expect it to actually come true.

Combining the characteristics of Twilight with extreme speed, and with the ultimate acceleration of movement, Nightshade moved through the rugged forest as if it were flat ground.

They had only gone a hundred meters.

Boom!

A deep, muffled thud came from ahead.

Immediately afterwards, a strong ground tremor spread out like ripples, shaking the ground beneath his feet and causing the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees to rustle.

The meteorite has landed.

Ye Ming increased his speed by another third, shooting towards the direction where the smoke and dust rose like an arrow released from a bow.

You must seize the initiative before other players or monsters are attracted by passive or passive actions.

Meteorites falling from the void may contain space-related materials or fragments of the world.

Regardless of which one, their value far surpasses that of ordinary jungle beasts.

If they can get there first, they might make a fortune.

Ye Ming's eyes grew sharper, and his speed increased to the extreme, leaving a blurry afterimage in the forest.

The surrounding scenery rushed past us.

Fortune favors the bold, and he was determined to have this unexpected windfall.

When Ye Ming broke through the last bush and reached the edge of the crater, the sight before him made his pupils suddenly contract.

The area ahead had been transformed into a boiling millstone of flesh and blood.

At the bottom of the massive scorched crater, which was hundreds of meters in diameter, was a blood-red crystal about the size of a fist, radiating a rich aura of blood and energy.

Hundreds or even thousands of monsters, drawn by the immense energy of blood and qi, have already gathered nearby.

They come in all shapes and sizes, and their roars are deafening.

There are earth-shattering rhinoceroses covered in bone armor and resembling small hills, and winged clawed dragons circling in the air spewing acid... There are also many jungle monsters that have not yet been analyzed and whose names are unknown, but which also exude a ferocious aura.

Driven to madness by their desire to get closer to the crimson crystal in the center of the pit, which pulsated with immense spiritual energy and beat like a heart, they engaged in a brutal melee.

Claws tore, fangs gnawed, and energy breaths clashed.

Blood splattered like a torrential rain, and severed limbs flew everywhere.

A strong smell of blood and turbulent energy spread in layers.

Ye Ming keenly sensed that several monsters in the core area of ​​the battlefield had exceptionally strong auras.

Upon analysis, it was discovered that the creature's hunting level was above 70.

Each collision caused the earth to tremble, and shockwaves swept in all directions.

This is clearly not an existence he can currently contend with.

Challenging opponents of higher levels is not a problem, but a power gap of more than 30 levels cannot be bridged by skill alone.

Ye Ming suppressed the restlessness in his heart, his figure turning into a shadow and pressing close to a charred boulder at the edge of the pit. His eyes quickly scanned the battlefield, his brain working at high speed, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

This windfall wasn't as easy to obtain as one might imagine.

Forcing his way through would be a dead end, but he wouldn't give up.

He is now a player, with unlimited room for error.

In the words of forum players: As a player, if you have the opportunity but don't try, what's the difference between you and an idiot?
This unique optimism and adventurous spirit of the players is now subtly influencing Ye Ming's decision-making logic.

He then brought up the trading platform interface.

His eyes quickly scanned through the various item categories and soon locked onto one type of item: special effects potions.

Especially those explosive drugs that are highly effective but come with strong side effects.

These types of potions can boost a player's various attributes in a short period of time, and even grant special abilities, but after the effects wear off, the player will suffer from prolonged weakness, and may even suffer permanent damage to the body.

However, for players, the side effects of these potions are negligible.

They are generally used in critical situations.

For Ye Ming, special medicine is undoubtedly a viable lever to change the situation.

But when he saw the prices of these medicines, he frowned slightly.

【Bloodlust (Tier 5 Potion)】: After consumption, strength and speed are greatly increased. The duration is affected by the player's physical condition. After the effect ends, the player will be permanently weakened, with all attributes reduced by 50-80% (affected by the player's physical condition).

Price: 15000 points of sacrificial power.

【Dragon Breath Potion (Tier 4)】: Briefly grants the power to breathe dragon breath. Each breath consumes Qi and Blood Energy. After the effect ends, the user is unable to speak.

Price: 12000 Sacrificial Power.

[Walking Reagent (Tier 2 Rare)]: Grants the ability to penetrate physical and elemental barriers for a short period of 5-15 seconds. After the effect ends, some body tissues will temporarily become ethereal.

Price: Up to 83000 Sacrificial Power (made of space-type materials).

……

Medicines made with high-end materials come with increasingly astonishing prices.

He currently has not accumulated enough sacrificial power to buy powerful potions.

New players generally don't use these kinds of potions; they're usually reserved for top-tier teams in crucial moments.

Upon seeing the price of the potions, Ye Ming subconsciously thought of the "unscrupulous merchant guild" that sold various recovery potions at exorbitant prices.

And that heartless Chairman Alan.

The thought had barely formed when a detail he had overlooked flashed through his mind like lightning.

Before the defeat of the Mist Clan, a batch of strategic resources were entrusted to the Gold Coin Merchant Guild.

Each transport is too troublesome, so this resource deposit is also for the purpose of being able to be exchanged for war resources at any time.

Is it still possible to withdraw this resource now?
Thinking of this, Ye Ming's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

If this resource were still available, even just a small portion of it, it would be enough to solve his immediate crisis.

Without further hesitation, he immediately brought up the system's contact list and entered "collecting sacrificial power" in the search bar.

Click to add a friend.

The next second, a notification popped up:

The other party has set friend request restrictions.

Please briefly explain why you want to add this; the recipient will review and decide whether to approve it.

It seems that contacting this "shady businessman" directly won't be so easy.

He quickly organized his thoughts and typed in the application reason field:

"Request to retrieve the Mist Clan's war reserve storage materials."

Whether it will succeed next depends on whether the Gold Coin Merchants Association will acknowledge this old debt.

Although the Gold Coin Merchants Association claims that all deposited resources can be retrieved at any time and will never disappear.

Even if you disappear for a hundred years, you can still claim it without fail.

But these words may not be credible.

It all depends on whether Chairman Alan is willing to deal with this "deceased" client.

After sending the friend request, he stared intently at the list, waiting for fate to respond.

Shortly after, a friend request popped up.

Before he could speak, the other party sent him a private message:

"If you want to extract resources from the Mist Clan, how can you prove you're a member of the Mist Clan? (Explorer looks bewildered.jpg)"

Ye Ming: ...

Upon seeing this question, Ye Ming was speechless.

how to prove?

He is currently in the form of "White Star," using a player identity, and has human blood flowing through his veins.

Even his aura was completely different from before.

You can't exactly say: I was a soul transmigrated here; in my previous life I was Ye Ming.

He himself found it absurd to say that.

Staring at the private chat box, Ye Ming was dumbfounded, feeling that this storage resource was probably going to be embezzled by the despicable unscrupulous merchants.
