9: Purchase resources

Half an hour after Lin Chen logged off...

Boom!

A small spacecraft instantly descended upon the central plaza area of Jingxiu Residential District.

A middle-aged man wearing a black uniform and exuding a terrifying Aura stepped down from it.

Bursts of exclamations erupted from nearby.

This type of spacecraft can reach the speed of sound and is worth over a hundred million federal currency!

Anyone who can own a small spacecraft is at least a Martial Master level powerhouse!

Knock, knock, knock!

Lin Chen went to open the door.

"Hello, I am a staff member of the Federal Transaction System."

"I am responsible for coming to collect the auction items."

The visitor wore a smile.

A faint pressure emanated from his body.

He then displayed his work ID—Chu Liang, the General Manager of the Su City Federal Transaction System.

A Martial Master powerhouse!

Lin Chen was startled.

It must be that the items he was auctioning this time were very precious.

He couldn't help but worry.

He immediately released a bit of his Martial Artist Realm Aura; after all, for a student to possess such precious Materials, it would inevitably arouse suspicion...

Huh?

"Martial Artist Realm? I couldn't tell you were so young, young man."

Chu Liang said in surprise.

However, he didn't think much of it.

The Martial Artist Realm is already capable of exploring the Other World.

This young man must have Heaven-Defying luck.

He probably stumbled upon two second-tier exotic beast corpses.

As for being in the Martial Artist Realm at this age, it wasn't particularly rare either.

As the person in charge of the Su City Federal Transaction System.

He had a broad perspective.

He had seen too many Geniuses.

There were many who were even more of a Prodigy than Lin Chen.

"Give me the auction items for this time."

"The auction will last for one week, and you will be notified by email once the final results are out."

Lin Chen handed all the items to Chu Liang.

After receiving the auction items and giving instructions, Chu Liang left.

Lin Chen now possessed the strength of the Martial Warrior Early Stage.

Coupled with his Yellow Rank Advanced Perfection blade technique, he could probably exchange blows even with a Martial Artist Middle Stage.

The Martial Artist Realm is the beginning.

Physical Body strength gradually stops being the most important determining factor.

Martial Artists can use True Qi.

The power of True Qi far exceeds physical strength!

From the Martial Artist Realm and above, the competition begins to focus on the abundance of True Qi.

As well as Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill!

The auction results would come out in a week.

During this week, Lin Chen did not engage in Dreamland Traversal again.

A week later...

Ding!

"The items you auctioned on the Federal Transaction System have finished auctioning.

The details are as follows:

Two second-tier exotic beast life cores: 62 million federal currency,

two second-tier exotic beast fangs: 30 million federal currency,

five second-tier exotic fruit: 152 million federal currency."

Immediately after, Lin Chen's account received a notification of the deposit.

Looking at this long string of numbers, Lin Chen's breathing quickened.

His assets had suddenly exceeded one hundred million!

Thinking back to his past life.

He worked overtime day and night every day.

If he was even slightly careless, he had to endure his boss's harsh scolding.

In the end, his monthly salary was only a few thousand.

Lin Chen came back to his senses.

He started browsing the transaction System, preparing to turn all these assets into strength!

One portion of Body Tempering Fluid is 600,000 federal currency, which can provide 20 energy points.

One portion of Bone Forging Powder is 2 million federal currency, which can provide 45 energy points.

One aperture opening pill is 3 million federal currency.

In the Martial Artist Realm, one can use aperture opening pills to help open 1 to 5 apertures.

Of course...

As one uses aperture opening pills later on, it would be good if they could help open one aperture.

As for the higher Martial Master Realm.

There are no longer any potions that can accelerate Cultivation.

Lin Chen then looked at the Cultivation Technique and weapon trading zones—

Cultivation Technique category:

Yellow Rank Cultivation Technique value: 100,000 to 5 million

Profound Rank Cultivation Technique value: 10 million to 100 million

Earth Rank Cultivation Technique value: 1 billion or more!

Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique are controlled by the federal top brass and some major Families.

Their value is immeasurable...

Weapon category:

F-grade weapon value: 100,000 to 1 million

E-grade weapon value: 2 million to 8 million

D-grade weapon value: 10 million to 50 million

...

S-grade weapon value: 10 billion or more!!

Tsk tsk...

Seeing S-grade weapons, Lin Chen couldn't help but click his tongue.

His meager assets were really just a drop in the bucket.

His E-grade weapon was actually worth at least 2 million.

Lin Chen couldn't help but feel even more grateful to Teacher Yang.

He had gifted him something worth several million just like that.

Continuing to browse...

"Huh! A space ring."

This world actually has space rings.

Lin Chen looked at the price tag behind it, starting at 100 million federal currency!

"So expensive!"

"If I had a space ring, I would be able to bring back many things from the dreamland in the future."

"Even if I die in the dreamland, as long as the ring is on my finger, my items won't be lost."

After thinking for a long time...

Lin Chen began his purchases.

Three F-grade flying knives worth 1 million!

Profound Rank Advanced movement technique "Misty Trace Steps" worth 50 million!

Profound Rank Advanced blade technique "Purple Lightning Thunder Blade" worth 30 million!

One space ring, storage space of 1000 cubic meters, worth 100 million!

20 aperture opening pills, worth 60 million!

Phew...

He spent 240 million federal currency!

This feeling is really great.

Looking at the remaining balance of only 5 million federal currency...

The things Lin Chen bought were in stock in Su City.

All the items were delivered after 1 hour.

He picked up an aperture opening pill and ate it in one bite.

[energy points] 100

One aperture opening pill actually provides 100 energy points, what a great deal!

He seemed to have found a way to quickly accumulate energy points.

For the same price.

Although the aperture opening pill and Body Tempering Fluid have the same energy points.

But that would require too much Body Tempering Fluid.

It is still more convenient to buy aperture opening pills.

Lin Chen felt burning with excitement!

Items from the Other World generally have a higher value.

He could flip them!

To maximize the acquisition of energy points.

Lin Chen grabbed a handful of aperture opening pills and ate them like jelly beans,

finishing them in a few bites.

If this were an ordinary person, they would have exploded and died long ago.

But Lin Chen had the System, so he directly converted them all into energy points without any loss!

Lin Chen looked at the panel:

[energy points] 2000

Lin Chen went to the underground training room to start practicing the Profound Rank Cultivation Technique.

The training room was 500 square meters, exceptionally spacious.

First, practice the movement technique.

Once "Misty Trace Steps" is mastered, it can increase movement speed.

The movement technique is uncanny and ethereal when executed.

Whether escaping or fighting against others, one is innately in an invincible position!

Lin Chen began practicing by taking stumbling, crooked steps.

3 hours, 5 hours, one day, five days!

Finally,

[Cultivation Technique] Misty Trace Steps: Entry Level (1/10000)

A Profound Rank Advanced Cultivation Technique requires so much progress to reach Perfection!

If he could raise the Profound Rank Cultivation Technique to Perfection, he would definitely be very strong!

Next, Lin Chen spent another three days to reach Entry Level in "Purple Lightning Thunder Blade".

For now, he had the Wave-Slashing Blade Technique.

First, improve the movement technique!

Consuming energy points...

[Cultivation Technique] Misty Trace Steps: Minor Achievement (2001/10000)

A wave of memories regarding "Misty Trace Steps" entered Lin Chen's mind.

Lin Chen subconsciously took a step forward.

Lin Chen's figure instantly blurred for a moment.

When he reappeared, he was already five meters away!

Just like teleportation.

"Such fast speed!"

In that instant, his movement speed skyrocketed!

Which created the illusion of teleportation.

It is already this powerful at the Minor Achievement Realm.

Lin Chen couldn't wait to quickly raise the movement technique to Perfection!

With his current strength, he could try to go hunt exotic beasts.

Lin Chen browsed the transaction System again.

Sure enough...

"Other World Gazetteer" priced at 500,000.

It contains records of countless Martial Artists exploring the Other World over the past thousand years of the Federation.

Lin Chen decisively bought a copy.

This book recorded things in great detail.

Inside, there were records of exotic beasts, exotic fruit, various Heaven And Earth Treasure, and even exotic races!

Lin Chen watched it carefully.

He even found the two exotic beasts he encountered in his last dreamland:

The second-tier exotic beasts, Blood Poison Python and Black Armored Centipede.

Lin Chen continued to read the gazetteer until it got dark.

...

Lin Chen held an E-grade long blade in his hand.

He activated random Dreamland Traversal.

After all, the previous location had a terrifying Dragon-shaped exotic beast.
