The Fire Thief Chapter 8: Tai Sui Tree Spirit
Lin Yan first took them to the Universe Galaxy Bank, opened bank accounts for each of them, and transferred 5 billion Black Dragon Coins to each of them.
Everything in the virtual universe network costs money. If you don't bind your bank account, you will be unable to move forward. For example, the killing field function requires 1 million Black Dragon Coins a day for a planetary level 9 warrior, and only a few people can afford it.
If they want to make rapid progress and improvement, they must have financial support.
One million Black Dragon Coins a day is certainly a high price, but compared to the desired results, this investment is insignificant.
Although Hong and Lei Shen have poor genes, they are indeed geniuses. If they were placed in other forces, they would be vigorously trained, and Lin Yan would not care about these.
Then he went to a weapons store in Qiulong City.
Lin Yan looked at the simulated projections and price tags of each Force weapon, hoping to choose a suitable Force weapon based on Hong and Thor's situations.
The price difference of Force weapons is huge. For example, the price of a second-grade inferior product is only over 100 million, and the price of a second-grade premium product is several billion. The price of a third-grade inferior product is also several billion, and the price of a third-grade premium product is hundreds of billions!
In fact, in the true sense, the difference in power is not that big, but the difference is in the threshold.
The easier it is to use, the higher the price. For example, if both are second-level weapons, but one requires 25 times the force to be used, and the other requires 15 times the force to exert the same combat power, there is naturally a huge difference.
Lin Yan took a look and said, "Hong, you are still at the planetary level now. I think you can each choose a second-level top-grade force weapon, which can be used for a long time. When you have fully mastered it and we have enough money, we can directly change to a third-level top-grade force weapon, which can ensure that you can quickly exert your maximum combat power."
"This way, you can save time on weapons and use it more to hone your combat skills and improve your own strength."
The requirements for mid- and low-quality weapons are too high. Although they are dozens of times cheaper with the same power, they are not heirlooms, so there is no need to waste time on them.
Like his Arc Blade Disc and Luo Feng's Sky Shuttle, they only have the opportunity to exert their corresponding power due to their special circumstances. Otherwise, they have to be at the fifth or sixth level of the Star Grade to enter the second form. Wouldn't that be a joke?
Ordinary first-, second-, and third-level weapons can be used right away, so it is not worth spending extra energy on them.
But it’s different for advanced weapons. For example, if you want to unleash the power of a “fifth-order weapon”, you first need “spiritual nurturing” to plant your own spiritual imprint on the weapon.
Once the nurturing is complete and the weapon has truly recognized its master, you can begin practicing.
Lei Shen was stunned: "Isn't that too expensive? I feel like I'm losing money."
Lin Yan smiled and said, "It's not a loss. The most important thing for us now is time. What is money? Money is a turtle bastard."
"Okay, just listen to me."
He called over the waiter in the store, and a girl with a pair of rabbit ears, as beautiful as an elf in mythology, came over. She smiled and said, "Dear sir, how can I help you?"
Lin Yan pointed and said, "Show them the second-grade top-quality guns and knives in your store and let them choose."
The girl was a little surprised, then said respectfully: "Okay, please follow me, gentlemen."
Force weapons are luxury items in themselves, not to mention top-grade Force weapons. The price of two second-grade top-grade Force weapons is nothing short of exaggerating.
Even the shop owner was alarmed and personally led Hong and Lei Shen to introduce them.
Lin Yan sat on the sofa, and then transferred another 10 billion to Luo Feng through the virtual universe network. Babata's voice immediately rang in Luo Feng's mind: "Luo Feng, you received an email."
Luo Feng was a little confused: "Open it."
"Lin Yan just remitted 10 billion Black Dragon Coins to you."
Luo Feng was shocked and looked at Lin Yan. Didn’t he give him 5 billion at the Universe Galaxy Bank just now?
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Your golden-horned beast needs to devour a lot of metal to practice, so just take it for now. Your current strength is not enough."
Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, "When my mental power reaches the stellar level, I can get the account my teacher left behind, and then I will pay you back."
His golden-horned beast was really a gold-devouring cave. He had originally planned to put it aside for a while, first allowing his human body's strength to reach the stellar level, and then take out the first account left by Hu Yanbo, and then rely on the money in the account to make the golden-horned beast grow rapidly.
But with the 10 billion given by Lin Yan, he could choose a metal combination that could increase his cultivation speed by 39 times, and within one or two years, he could upgrade the golden-horned beast to the cosmic level.
Lin Yan didn't care much and nodded calmly: "Yes, okay."
After spending quite a while choosing, Hong and Lei Shen finally chose the weapons they liked.
Hong's "Dark Vortex Spear" and Thor's "Sinking Moon Blade" are both top-grade second-level items. After bargaining with the boss, the final total price was 8.8 billion Black Dragon Coins, and four sets of D5-level alloy combat suits were also given.
The alloy suit is different from the Force suit. It does not have any amplitude effect. It is made of alloy on the outside and has a very low technical content. It is like wearing a large piece of armor and is cheap. Of course, although the material is hard, it still pays attention to comfort.
However, the disadvantage is that there will be many "loopholes", and it is impossible to protect the whole body 100%. Moreover, although the alloy suit is unlikely to be damaged, the impact of the attack will be borne by oneself.
Therefore, wealthy and powerful people all wear Force armor inside and alloy armor outside to protect themselves closely.
The same is true for the Mo Yun battle suit transformed by the Mo Yun vine. It can absorb a lot of impact force and make up for those loopholes. It also has extremely strong defensive power itself.
They walked out of the weapons store.
Thor was still very excited, stroking the Shen Yue Knife in his hand, as if he was stroking his little lover, his eyes burning.
Lin Yan searched for a while before he found a store that specialized in buying and selling plant life and exotic fruits.
In fact, they can also go to the Qibao store, which has a wide variety of goods and all kinds of treasures, but in the segmented market, there are no special stores with a full range of products.
So Lin Yan had no choice.
They walked in. The shop was full of greenery, which was refreshing. The owner was an old man about 2.3 meters tall with gold and blue stripes on his face. He greeted them warmly: "Dear guest, what can I do for you?"
"I need to see what precious plant life seeds you have here."
The old man smiled and said, "You have found the right place. I definitely have the most complete variety of seeds in Qiulong City. I have all kinds of seeds of various plant life."
Although there was some self-boasting in it, Lin Yan felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
After all, all kinds of shops in Qiulong City are concentrated in this location, and this business is not something that ordinary people can do.
The old man took them to watch various simulated projections of commodities. Lin Yan saw the Mo Yun vine seeds at a glance. The price of one seed was 50 million Black Dragon Coins. There were also various other plant life seeds.
As he looked at it, Lin Yan's eyes lit up: "You still have seeds of the 'Taisui Tree Spirit' here?"
Tree spirits belong to a branch of plant life. They are extremely non-aggressive, have relatively low intelligence, are extremely simple, and will only continue to enhance their own ability to survive.
An excellent choice for defensive plant life.
Some of the strange life forms among the tree spirits, such as the "Norvica Tree Spirit", can also be integrated into the biological spacecraft, causing a qualitative change in the spacecraft. Not only does it have extremely strong defense, it also has extremely outstanding self-recovery capabilities.
When the old man saw Lin Yan mentioned the Tai Sui Tree Spirit, he immediately introduced: "The price of this Tai Sui Tree Spirit is 12 billion. Are you interested?"
Lin Yan shook his head and laughed: "You can't sell this thing at all, right?"
"If the difficulty of cultivating the Moyun vine is 1, the Tai Sui tree spirit is estimated to be 1000. This kind of plant life generally requires a special secret environment to be nurtured. Those secret environments are extremely dangerous. Of course, there are indeed treasures that can nurture this kind of plant life, but the value of those treasures is so great that even immortal masters are reluctant to give them up. It has completely exceeded the value of the tree spirit itself."
Seeing that Lin Yan obviously understood, the old man smiled bitterly and said, "Since the customer knows, he should understand. If it weren't for this reason, this seed wouldn't be priced at only 12 billion Black Dragon Coins."
"After all, this is the seed of the Tai Sui Tree Spirit. Even if it is impossible to breed, it is worth the price."
This is not a lie. The Tai Sui Tree Spirit is naturally far inferior to the Star-Eating Grass, which is known as the "toughest aggressive plant life." Here it refers to the plant life that can be sold by the human race. The price of a young Star-Eating Grass is close to 300,000 Hunyuan units, and without a certain status, there is no channel to buy it.
But compared to Mo Yun Teng, it is far superior.
The price of a young Tai Sui tree spirit fluctuates between 60 and 80 Hunyuan units.
If it wasn't really impossible to grow, it would be equivalent to a dead seed, otherwise it would not be unsellable.
Lin Yan himself had no confidence in facing this kind of thing, but since he had seen it, he might as well give it a try.
He casually said, "How about this, will you sell it for 10 billion? If you do, I'll just keep it for fun."
The old man was a little hesitant. The seeds of the "Taisui Tree Spirit" were quite famous. Twenty thousand years ago, the price of these seeds was still 100 billion. A rich young man from a big family thought he could get a bargain and took them home, but nothing happened. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and the more he thought about , the more he felt he had lost. In the end, he said that the seeds were fake and had to return them.
However, this is not impossible. After all, the inability to conceive means the inability to verify, and some races in the universe have a strong ability to falsify.
Even though he lowered the price several times afterwards, no one bought it after 20,000 years. When the store was passed to him, almost no one even asked about the price. After all, after spending 12 billion and not even getting a single ring of approval, no rich person would want to be taken advantage of.
You can’t even cultivate the seeds of the Moyun vine, and you’re still thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity?
Gradually, the store itself didn't care much about this matter anymore and just left it there, highlighting the idea of "those who are willing to take the bait will do so".
But the old man finally shook his head: "10 billion is too little, this business can't be done."
"Hmm." Lin Yan groaned and said, "How about this? 12 billion is fine. You can give me another 2 billion worth of bonus. I can choose it myself."
It sounds similar, but the 2 billion itself represents hundreds of millions in profit.
This time the old man relented: "Since the guest is interested in this, then I will give it up. What do the other 2 billion guests want to choose?"
Lin Yan looked at the simulated projections of these commodities and selected them carefully. The value of the commodities he chose ranged from several thousand to tens of millions, including 10 Mo Yun vine seeds.
The old man felt somewhat relieved. The seeds of the Tai Sui Tree Spirit were worthless now. The only valuable thing was the name of "Taisui Tree Spirit". It was a pleasant surprise that he could still sell it.
He took out a large number of plant seeds from the warehouse. Lin Yan selected a wide variety of species, no less than two hundred, but the warehouse's inventory system was intelligent and very convenient.
Lin Yan put it into his space ring and took a closer look at the seed of the "Taisui Tree Spirit". Although it was a seed, it was the size of a watermelon, with a withered yellow color and layers of wrinkles on it.
He couldn't figure out what it was, so he put it all into the space ring.
