130: Chapter 130 Skills Services
A Level 6 Lizardman demigod clad in gray-green scales was the first to dash out of the large opening, followed closely by two Level 5 snake-man demigods flicking their tongues.
The Lizardman demigod shook the dirt off its claws, "Peak Level 4. With such high quality, this must be the highest combat strength in that person's Divine Kingdom."
The snake-man demigod on the right spat, looking displeased.
"Hiss, small meat is still meat. We should have caught the one who placed the order earlier. If our performance for this month isn't up to standard, we're going to get shocked again when we go back!"
The snake-man demigod on the left chimed in, its tail sweeping across the ground irritably.
The Level 6 Lizardman demigod snorted coldly, "Acquiring transcendent crystal at double the premium, yet able to turn a blind eye to transcendent crystal within easy reach—perhaps this is a big catch."
"Don't be impatient. This order didn't work out, but there's the next one. I'll have the park change accounts and continue accepting his tasks. He got away this time, but next time we'll close the net directly and get a good look at what he's made of!"
Above the Titan Mountains, Spiritual Qi churned.
Qu Nimade, carrying a greatsword on his back, stepped out from the Divine Kingdom passage. He didn't bother to tidy his disheveled robes and flew directly to the front of Gu Han's shadow of will, kneeling on one knee.
He carefully untied his waist pouch and handed over the small black box with both hands.
"God, I have obtained the item."
Gu Han's will transformed into a stream of light, wrapping around the small box. After confirming it was indeed a transcendent crystal inside, he nodded with satisfaction.
Qu Nimade did not immediately withdraw; instead, he kept his head lowered, his expression shifting uncertainly.
He pondered those extra boxes in his heart several times. Even if this was truly a test of loyalty from God, hiding it and not reporting it now would only cause God to develop suspicions!
"God, I encountered something strange at the trading site."
"Speak."
Qu Nimade took a deep breath and recounted the situation at the trading site in full detail.
"When I went to take this box, thirty meters to the front left, and on a hill a hundred meters away, there were two other identical black boxes placed there. They should also contain transcendent crystal."
"But I suspected a trap, so I didn't dare to touch them and retreated immediately after getting what I was supposed to."
Gu Han listened, raising an eyebrow slightly.
He hadn't expected that just going to pick up goods would lead to other matters.
Someone placed extra transcendent crystals at the trading location?
These trading coordinates were usually one-on-one services; it was absolutely impossible for multiple people to be trading there. Clearly, it was a trap.
"You did very well. You may withdraw."
Gu Han not only didn't blame him but instead offered a word of praise.
Qu Nimade's hanging heart finally settled. After kowtowing repeatedly, he let out a long sigh of relief and retreated back to the Titan Mountains to find his female werewolf.
Just then, Gu Han's handheld device vibrated again.
Gu Han looked at the message on the screen and couldn't help but frown.
Someone else had accepted the transcendent crystal acquisition task he had just posted. Although the payment account was different, the trading method remained the same.
How could there be such a coincidence?
Connecting this to the situation Qu Nimade had just reported, Gu Han ran through it in his mind instantly.
This was highly likely a trap.
If it were those marauder teams in the black market that lived by double-crossing, he wouldn't be afraid. It was more likely that the official law enforcement departments were fishing!
A place like the black market was inherently a gray area; his large-scale, high-premium acquisition of transcendent crystal had likely already drawn attention.
For the sake of caution, Gu Han decisively cut off the thought of continuing the trade.
For now, it was better to first completely hollow out that invaluable nuclear fire crystal mine in the Wild Sand Realm. He had to raise a large-scale army of adult Dragon-Lizard Ant-men in the shortest possible time!
Gu Han proficiently opened the software and contacted his exclusive customer service.
"I need God-Lord skill services, now."
Previously, when he wanted to find God-Lord skills that could complement his own, he discovered that in this world, besides combat types, there were many God-Lords who had awakened functional skills.
These God-Lords themselves might not be strong in combat, but their skills were considered divine when it came to logistics and support.
Many people would even list their skills on the black market as one-time services.
As long as the buyer provided a virtual transit site after payment and sent the believers needing the skill application there, they would enter the virtual coordinates to cast their skills, serving the buyer's needs.
This was quite reasonable; after all, in any era, there would always be people finding ways to make money.
The exclusive customer service quickly sent over a detailed service price list:
[1x Temporal Acceleration: 1 million credit points/time]
[Partial Limb Rebirth: 1.5 million credit points/time]
[Epiphany: 2 million credit points/time]
[Prolonging Life: 3 million credit points/time]
[Accelerated Growth: 5 million credit points/time]
Various functional skills were dazzling, with market prices varying.
Gu Han's gaze locked directly onto [Accelerated Growth].
"Five million per time, it can be applied to a group of biological entities and can increase the growth process of believers by ten years."
Gu Han clicked to place the order and pay, and five million credit points were instantly deducted from his account.
Less than a minute later, the customer service sent over a string of virtual coordinates.
Gu Han immediately issued an order: "Immediately move all hatched Dragon-Lizard Ant-men larvae, as well as the newly formed mutant pupae, into the Divine Kingdom passage!"
The vast army of Ant-men instantly became busy.
Millions of Black-Armored Ant-men lined up into giant black dragons, holding thick, heavy giant pupae, and surged toward the passage Gu Han had just opened.
Each Dragon-Lizard Ant-man larva that hadn't yet fully pupated was also carefully escorted into the passage by Shield-Armored Ant-Men.
This moment was a race against time; Gu Han had to mature this batch of new troop types at the fastest possible speed.
After all, people could enter or leave the Wild Sand Realm at any moment, and there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't stumble upon the karst cave.
Ten years of accelerated growth was enough to turn the Dragon-Lizard Ant-men into adults. Gu Han didn't need them to fight for now; he only needed the Black-Armored Ant-men to teach them some mining experience when the time came.
After placing the larvae, the Ant-men army retreated. Gu Han sent a "ready" notification and clicked the yellow "expedite" button on the screen.
