49: Crazy rewards, go to the main city

Haha.

A big client has come knocking.

Lin Ye immediately smiled.

"No problem, absolutely no problem. Come on, immediately sign a supply contract with Captain Bian, prioritizing her supply!"

This time.

It was Bian Yuerong who was stunned instead.

What's going on?

Isn't that a legendary potion?

For something like this, you still want to sign a contract for stable supply?!

What do you mean?

Could it be... you can mass-produce legendary potions?

Wait!

Did I arrive late just now and miss something?

At the same time.

Several guild managers ran over, their shock mixed with complaints:

"Demon Lord, isn't the difficulty of this dungeon a bit too high?"

"Yeah~"

"Our elite squad was completely wiped out just now, suffering huge losses. Now we don't even have enough star coins to revive, what should we do?"

Lin Ye's brow furrowed.

"Which guild are you from, to be so weak?!"

Uh...

The person who spoke immediately turned red from being rebuffed:

"Sheng... Shengshi, Lu Xuan."

"But, but this... this is definitely not us being weak, it's clearly too difficult."

Lin Ye turned his head and looked at Bai Shuya: "Didn't you give them a guide?"

"Yes, Star-dust beetle, Starlight Jellyfish, including the Star-dust beetle's mutation, are all written in the guide," Bai Shuya affirmed.

Yes.

Lu Xuan also admitted: "The guide did mention it, but after the Star-dust beetle mutates, its flight speed is too fast. We don't have enough mages, so we can't clear them at all, and the terrain is too restrictive, there's hardly any space to kite."

"At this difficulty, the star coins and materials we earn, let alone buying equipment or asking NPCs to craft, we can't even scrape together the basic revival fees!"

The people from several nearby guilds chimed in agreement upon hearing this.

"Mr. Lu is right, the difficulty is just too high!"

"I think it would be more reasonable if the value of star coins returned to that of gold coins, and then enabled a 1:1 exchange."

Bian Yuerong also received the intel and frowned slightly:

"The dungeon difficulty is indeed considerable. Our people also encountered danger. The main issue is the special monster groups; small-scale kills aren't cost-effective, and for large-scale kills, we don't have enough manpower..."

Lu Xuan quickly added: "Right, right, right, manpower is also a problem. I think each guild should be allocated at least 100 keys, no, 200 keys would be about right!"

Bai Shuya seemed to understand and leaned in to whisper: "The Newbie Village is embedded in the empire's frontier. Both player skill levels and guild strengths here are quite a bit weaker than in the main city..."

Lin Ye wasn't interested in listening and directly waved his hand to cut off their words.

"Your weakness is your problem. If you can't handle it, you can simply not buy keys and not come in."

One sentence.

The entire scene fell silent.

Lin Ye said calmly:

"We calculate the revenue based on the kill efficiency of elite teams, and then set the prices accordingly. If you can't even manage normal monster grinding, then it only proves you're not qualified to enter the dungeon, right?"

"As for not having enough manpower, you can form teams, it's not forbidden here."

"If you don't have enough star coins to revive, but others do, you can go acquire them yourself. Whatever the market price is, that's what it is. What use is it to come to me? If someone is willing to sell it cheaper, that's their business, after all, I haven't opened up star coin exchange for gold coins here, have I?"

Three sentences.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The only thing Lin Ye cared about was whether he could stably obtain income from the merit points.

Currently.

Besides equipment skill boxes, the only things that could be sold were NPC crafting techniques.

For ordinary players, the appeal was strong, but for large guilds, they weren't as desperate.

Now, time was tight, and it was necessary to provide some stimulation.

Thinking of this.

Lin Ye directly threw an S-rank talent scroll into the merit reward list.

"The system has added a new reward. The first-place merit earner this week can claim it."

Everyone clicked on the Star Tower and looked.

And froze simultaneously.

"Holy crap!"

"S-rank talent scroll."

"Demon Lord, you're not joking with me, are you?"

"This... this can be obtained just by getting first place in merit this week, with no minimum requirement?"

Lin Ye's expression darkened.

"Do I look like someone who jokes?"

Uh, hahahahaha!

Lu Xuan's face changed, and he smiled shyly:

"Demon Lord's word is law, who dares to question it? I'll be the first to not let them off!"

"Hehe, then it's fine, we'll go grind monsters now, you're busy~"

Anxious!

The merit in the Forgotten Land was just about submitting star coins and materials from grinding.

At a 1:10 exchange rate.

Exchanging for legendary equipment and crafting techniques wasn't impossible, but it was certainly better to get a bargain.

But if you said it could be exchanged for an S-rank talent scroll, was it still expensive?

Equipment has a price, scrolls are priceless!

Even if they couldn't win it themselves, the star coins and materials they ground out would be bought at high prices by many others.

Pure profit!

They felt like they were losing out if they didn't grind for even a second.

However.

Bian Yuerong's brow was tightly furrowed, her gaze sharp as she stared at Lin Ye: "I remember Demon Lord said that all the talent scrolls were used up..."

"Yes."

Lin Ye affirmed.

"But I was lucky, another one just dropped."

You...

Bian Yuerong gritted her teeth in anger.

This was an S-rank talent, something that simply couldn't be dropped in the game. Are you trying to fool me like I'm a three-year-old?

Bastard!

Bian Yuerong was so angry her teeth ached, but she couldn't do anything about him.

After all, it was a period of cooperation, and everyone was waiting for him to complete the mission and open up the cross-realm passage.

Fine!

You're truly something!

Bian Yuerong took a breath and pondered: "Since you've released the scroll, it's just to sell it for money. Name your price, we want this scroll!"

Lin Ye casually pointed at the Star Tower.

"Merit exchange, the price is right there."

Hiss?

Bian Yuerong thought for a moment. Instead of wasting words with this scoundrel and letting him demand an exorbitant price, it was better to grind for it herself.

She left!

In terms of combat, she had never lost in her life!

Seeing her leave so quickly, Lin Ye's lips curled slightly: "Captain Bian doesn't have to be so anxious. The Forgotten Land still has two monster sieges every day, there are many opportunities, no need to fear not being able to grind it out."

Bian Yuerong paused, clenching her fists tightly. Without even looking back, she walked straight away.

"My Demon Lord, once the scroll is released, everything will be in chaos..." Bai Shuya rubbed her forehead helplessly: "Prices will be completely messed up, star coin exchange rates will skyrocket. If players clamor to come in, do we let them in or not? If we let them in, how do we manage them?"

"Let them in! Let them all in!"

Lin Ye had previously chosen to limit access because he was worried that he wouldn't be able to control the situation if he wasn't there, but now he wasn't afraid. He casually pointed at Lulu by the door.

"See that? If anyone dares to cause trouble, you let the dog bite them."

It?

Bai Shuya blinked, seemingly doubtful of the crystal's strength.

Lin Ye saw this and laughed: "Don't underestimate it. It's a Level 90 BOSS, and it's space-elemental. Just its crowd-controlling Mirror Corridor alone isn't something players can overwhelm with sheer numbers."

Oh~

Bai Shuya's beautiful peach blossom eyes flashed, and she instantly understood.

"Hmm, now we can really let loose, but what about the Newbie Village..."

Lin Ye knew.

"I'll handle that. When are you all going to advance your classes?"

Bai Shuya shook her head slightly.

"We're short-handed here right now, so we won't go for now. Let's wait a couple of days."

Alright.

Anyway, they weren't in a hurry.

Lin Ye greeted them, replenished his durability, and set off.

......

Ostra is located at the intersection of the 'Misty Night Mountains' and the 'Blazing Plains'. The entire city is nestled within the only canyon in the mountain range, often shrouded in thin mist.

To the south.

It had to guard the mountain pass, resisting invasions from various beastmen tribes.

To the north.

It had to defend the empire's granary, eradicating monsters that harassed the farmlands on the plains.

Lin Ye sprinted all the way, covering thousands of kilometers, taking over half an hour to reach the city gate.

He looked up.

The city walls, built from black basalt and mithril alloy, were over a hundred meters high and indestructible. Various magical runes and defensive mechanisms were clearly visible on them, with a towering watchtower set up at regular intervals....
