29: Chapter 29 Special Shop, Killing God's Authority

43,500 points.

Lin Xiao didn't know how much they were worth.

He immediately opened the Points Shop and saw a dazzling array of countless goods inside.

"Epic-Rank Hero Token, price 300 points."

...

"Special building blueprint, the cheapest is only 50 points."

...

"There are also World Wonders that can strengthen the entire territory."

Lin Xiao was more and more shocked as he looked.

There were too many items in the Points Shop; not only was the quantity large, but the quality was not low either.

The Epic-Rank Hero Tokens, troop talismans, and barracks he had been longing for were everywhere here, and Rare-Rank ones were as common as cabbage, purchasable for just a few points.

All kinds of Advanced resources were available, and World Wonders were not rare either.

"This benefit is too good."

Lin Xiao was incredibly surprised. Even if First-Generation Lords who passed the Seven-Day Assessment didn't have as many points as he did, obtaining a few dozen or a hundred points shouldn't be difficult.

According to the prices in the Points Shop, wouldn't they all have a chance to acquire Perfect-Rank or even Epic-Rank heroes and troops, taking off in one go?

"No, this must be the price at 10% of the original."

Lin Xiao quickly realized that he had received a one-time 90% discount.

Others didn't have this treatment; they must be seeing the original prices.

This made sense.

Most First-Generation Lords who passed the Seven-Day Assessment could probably only obtain Rare-Rank items, a small number could get Perfect-Rank, and only the most outstanding batch could acquire Epic-Rank items.

"Hiss, there's even Legendary-Rank."

Lin Xiao discovered that Epic-Rank was not the limit of the Points Shop; there were even Legendary-Rank items inside.

But the price was extremely expensive.

A Legendary-Rank Hero Token cost 3,000 points; at the original price, that would be 30,000. Except for Lin Xiao, no other Human Race First-Generation Lord should be able to afford it.

"If the Points Shop has Legendary-Rank, what about the Special Shop?"

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately opened the clearly more Advanced Special Shop.

The quantity of goods in the Special Shop was far less than in the Points Shop.

However, the quality was exaggerated.

"As expected, there is Mythical-Rank..." Lin Xiao gasped.

Mythical-Rank Hero Token, price 20,000 points.

The original price was 200,000 points; even Lin Xiao couldn't afford it.

Mythical-Rank troop talismans and barracks also had original prices over 100,000 points.

This price could only be described as worthy of being Mythical-Rank.

Lin Xiao didn't know if Human Race lords had Mythical-Rank heroes and troops; with his knowledge and background, he was far from reaching that level, but he could catch a glimpse from this price.

The Mythical-Rank Hero Token was not the highest-priced item.

[Authority of Slaughter (Unique)]

[Type: Authority]

[After obtaining the Authority of Slaughter, any unit in the territory that kills a living creature can gain Slaughter Points. Consuming Slaughter Points can increase the quality of heroes and troops.]

"Authority?"

This was another term Lin Xiao had never heard of, but its effect was astonishing.

Being able to increase the quality of heroes and troops was simply unheard of.

Could it be upgraded to Mythical-Rank?

If it could, then its price being higher than a Mythical-Rank Hero Token was understandable.

Lin Xiao became extremely conflicted.

He thought he had enough points, but it turned out he could only buy one item in this Special Shop, and that was after the discount.

Which one should he choose?

After looking around, the things Lin Xiao wanted most were still the Authority of Slaughter and the Mythical-Rank Hero Token.

Both had their pros and cons.

The Mythical-Rank Hero Token went without saying; as long as it could be summoned, it could immediately greatly increase the strength of Lin Xiao's territory, allowing him to snowball, gain more points in the subsequent first-month ranking rewards and year-end final rewards, and get a higher evaluation.

Perhaps he could get better things then.

This was unquestionable; Lin Xiao did not doubt the ability of a Mythical-Rank hero.

However, the Mythical-Rank Hero Token wasn't the only way to obtain it, and using it here felt like a loss.

The Authority of Slaughter had broad future prospects. It was clearly a special type that could not be opened from regional treasure chests; the conspicuous word "Unique" explained everything. If he missed this opportunity, he might never have a chance to obtain it again.

But its disadvantages were also obvious. Like Lin Xiao's talent, it belonged to the growth type, requiring time to increase the quality of heroes and troops, and it was unknown what height it could reach in the future.

The effect it could have in a short time was far inferior to a Mythical-Rank hero.

Lin Xiao found it hard to choose.

"Let's just pick one." He listed these two items separately, then closed his eyes and pointed randomly.

[Warning: Territory Rank is below 8, cannot support a Mythical-Rank hero. Confirm purchase?]

Lin Xiao: "..."

Alright, his heart died.

The Mythical-Rank Hero Token actually required waiting until Rank 8 territory to be used; this was undoubtedly a blind spot in Lin Xiao's knowledge.

Although reaching Rank 8 territory and summoning a Mythical-Rank hero would definitely not be a loss, for Lin Xiao, if it couldn't immediately increase his territory's strength, it had no meaning.

[Confirm purchase of Authority of Slaughter?]

"Confirm."

As Lin Xiao chose to purchase, his points immediately dropped by 30,000, and this Authority was immediately loaded onto Lin Xiao. He felt it, but there was no abnormal sensation... Instead, a Slaughter Point count appeared on his personal panel, showing 0.

How many Slaughter Points one could gain by killing a creature, and how many Slaughter Points it would take to increase the quality of heroes and troops, could only be verified later.

After using up the 90% discount, all items in the Special Shop returned to their original prices, with the lowest being 100,000 points.

Lin Xiao closed it without hesitation and reopened the Points Shop.

"Mythical-Rank heroes require Rank 8 territory, what about Legendary-Rank?"

Lin Xiao's heart stirred.

This shop wasn't too pitiless; it had a confirmation procedure and a responsible reminder, so he didn't have to worry about buying by mistake.

[Warning: Territory Rank is below 5, cannot support a Legendary-Rank hero. Confirm purchase?]

"Legendary-Rank heroes require Rank 5 territory."

Not just heroes, troops were the same; they required Rank 5 territory.

Lin Xiao tried Epic-Rank, but found there was no warning; he could buy it directly.

Now he understood.

Rank 5 territory was the Second Source Sea, and Rank 8 territory was the Third Source Sea.

Clearly, one had to reach the Third Source Sea to summon Mythical-Rank heroes and troops, Legendary-Rank required the Second Source Sea, and as for Epic-Rank and below, there were no restrictions.

"Epic-Rank heroes and troops, no rush."

Lin Xiao thought to himself.

After purchasing the Authority of Slaughter, he still had 13,500 points left, although he could still buy Epic-Rank Hero Tokens and troop talismans/barracks.

But in reality, their priority was no longer high.

This was not only because of the Authority of Slaughter; with Jin Ruxuan and the support of the Jinshi Chamber of Commerce behind him, the difficulty for Lin Xiao to obtain Epic-Rank heroes and troops was not that great.

Using points on them was too wasteful.

It was definitely most worthwhile to use them on the rarest and hardest-to-obtain items.

"World Wonders."

Lin Xiao immediately understood what he needed to buy.
