10: Chapter 10 Perfect-Level Hero Token

Gao Yue: "?"

He was speechless. Perfect-Rank Hero Tokens or Troop Tokens, and even extras—was this even human language?

Those were Perfect-Rank Hero Tokens and Troop Tokens, not cabbages.

Even for their Gao Family, taking one out wasn't that simple.

As for a new Lord like him, it was even harder, unless he could prove his potential and ability to the Family to obtain one.

In the end, the Gao Family was only considered top-tier in Morning Star City; looking at Eastern Province, or even the entire Main World, it was nothing.

Lin Xiao: "It seems saying Perfect-Rank was underestimating you, Gao Yue. Epic-Rank would actually be acceptable too."

Gao Yue: "..."

Gao Yue: "Damn, cut it out. Epic-Rank? I don't even have a Perfect-Rank one."

"However, if you really want one, I can help you ask around."

"Don't even think about Epic-Rank. Hero Tokens and Troop Tokens of that Rank basically never appear."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If there really was a chance to obtain an Epic-Rank Hero Token or Troop Token, he would scrape together every last bit of wealth to get his hands on it. After all, under the influence of his talent, the summoned heroes and troops wouldn't have their strength restricted; they would directly possess Third-Tier strength.

In this way, he would absolutely be able to sweep through the following layers of the Void Land.

It was a pity that Hero Tokens and Troop Tokens of this Rank could not possibly appear on the market.

Not to mention how low the probability of obtaining them was, even if someone had Heaven-Defying Luck, they wouldn't take them out to trade.

The Gao Family was worthy of being an established, great Family in Morning Star City; their network was much larger than the Lin Family's, and they had dealings with major forces in other cities of Eastern Province.

Soon, Gao Yue sent a message.

"Someone has a Perfect-Rank Hero Token and has decided to sell it. Whether you can persuade him depends on you."

"As for a Perfect-Rank Troop Token, I didn't find one, but I know a big shot who has a Perfect-Rank Barracks Blueprint; you can go ask him."

"Many thanks."

Lin Xiao didn't expect Gao Yue to handle it so quickly. Although he only provided a trading channel and whether it would succeed depended on Lin Xiao himself, it was still commendable.

"If your territory encounters danger in the future, I can provide rescue once for free."

Lin Xiao also gave his promise.

Hearing this, Gao Yue smiled with satisfaction.

He had used his connections to run around for Lin Xiao, wasn't it just for this promise?

Although Gao Yue believed that with the support of his Family, his future development would only be stronger than Lin Xiao's, in this crisis-ridden Chaos Source Sea, having more allies of the same clan was definitely better. Who knew when he might need one.

After a pause, Gao Yue continued to send a message: "Lin Xiao, although you should know, I still have to remind you."

"The most suitable time to summon Perfect-Rank heroes and troops is actually after upgrading to a Level 2 Territory."

This information was not a secret; Gao Yue believed that Lin Xiao should also be aware of it.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Xiao wanted to buy a Perfect-Rank Hero Token and Troop Token, he wouldn't have bothered to mention it.

"Rest assured, I know what I'm doing," Lin Xiao replied.

Seeing this, Gao Yue nodded with satisfaction.

He believed that Lin Xiao would make the correct choice.

Of course, there was another possibility, which was that Lin Xiao was preparing to upgrade to a Level 2 Territory.

However, this guess was instantly thrown to the back of his mind by Gao Yue.

The Chaos Source Sea had a perfect matching mechanism; a Lord's greatest enemy would always be a Lord of the same Rank.

Once the Ranks of both sides differed by one tier, the probability of being searched by a higher-Rank Lord would decrease significantly. At the same time, when the latter invaded the former, there would be corresponding punitive mechanisms, such as the invaded party being able to quickly seek help from other Lords, etc.

If the Ranks differed by two tiers, they would basically not be searched by a higher-Rank Lord, and the latter would be unable to actively invade the former; at most, they could send troops to assist in defense.

As for a difference of three tiers, there would be absolutely no intersection at all, not even assisting in defense.

The strongest in the First Source Sea were Third-Tier Lords.

Therefore, as long as one kept their territory at Level 1, they could basically eliminate the threat from Third-Tier Lords.

This was what Gao Yue was doing.

With his Family's foundation, he actually had the ability to upgrade his territory to Level 2 during the Seven-Day Assessment, but he wasn't confident in maintaining development under the invasion of alien Second-Tier Lords, let alone the threat from alien Third-Tier Lords.

Therefore, he would keep his territory Rank at Level 1 until he had accumulated enough strength and foundation before choosing to upgrade.

"What am I thinking about? Only those Prodigies from truly great Families and major forces would dare to upgrade to a Level 2 Territory during the Seven-Day Assessment." Gao Yue laughed at himself.

Lin Xiao's foundation was not even as good as his; unless he had lost his mind, how could he act recklessly?

...

After receiving the message from Gao Yue, Lin Xiao began to search for the person who possessed the Perfect-Rank Hero Token; the other party's name was Sun Yu.

He had made a portion of his information public.

Level 1 Territory, territory size 150,000 square meters.

Judging from the territory size, this Sun Yu had only conquered the third layer of the Void Land; it was unknown if the fourth layer of the Void Land had not yet bordered his territory, or if he lacked the strength.

Lin Xiao understood in his heart; if nothing went wrong, Sun Yu must have had Heaven-Defying Luck to open the Perfect-Rank Hero Token from a regional treasure chest.

The other party was also considered a smart person for not listing it on the trading market.

Otherwise, his messages would have exploded by now.

Among the new Lords, only a small portion of people could afford a Perfect-Rank Hero Token.

Sun Yu was only willing to trade with them.

As for how to find the latter, as long as they weren't truly antisocial and had no dealings with others, there would always be a way.

Lin Xiao successfully added Sun Yu as a friend, and the latter quickly sent a question mark over.

Lin Xiao didn't waste words with him: "I want the Perfect-Rank Hero Token in your hands."

Sun Yu was clearly not negotiating a price with someone for the first time; he immediately quoted his price: "One Rare-Rank Hero Token, plus three times of vassal-level protection."

Seeing the words Sun Yu sent, Lin Xiao immediately understood why this Perfect-Rank Hero Token was still in his hands.

The key was in the three times of vassal-level protection.

One had to know that even Gao Yue didn't dare to give vassal-level protection, yet Sun Yu was asking for it three times.

This asking price was too high.

Those Prodigies from major forces and great Families had stronger strength and foundation than Gao Yue; giving one or two times of vassal-level protection might be fine, but this was three times.

To them, a Perfect-Rank Hero Token was not something that was impossible to find.

If the price was right, they wouldn't mind hoarding one; these were all foundations.

If the price was too high, forget it; they weren't lacking in it anyway.

Lin Xiao: "Your asking price is too high."

Seeing the message Lin Xiao sent, Sun Yu couldn't help but sneer. He had seen this kind of reply too many times. No matter what, a Rare-Rank Hero Token and three times of vassal-level protection were absolutely non-negotiable; this was his bottom line.

If this didn't work, he would wait for the next one.

However, before he could close the dialogue box, a new message quietly appeared.

"So, I have to add more money."
