"Damn it, as the quality of the treasure chests gets better, there are no more gold coins and origin crystals?" Su Ye thought with a bit of a headache.
For other lords, this would be a good thing, but for Su Ye, this wasn't good at all. After upgrading the two barracks later, his gold coin resources would be completely exhausted.
This is just... damn it.
"I have 3 troop refresh recruitment cards now, and 4 barracks upgrade cards as well." Su Ye looked at the two cards he just pulled out, thought for a moment, and decided to put them away for now.
He would deal with them later; for now, he wouldn't consider upgrading the barracks.
"Unique wonder: dimensional gate?" Su Ye looked curiously at the wonder building he had obtained from the treasure chest.
A model of a gateway appeared in Su Ye's hand, and he began to examine it with curiosity in his eyes.
Name: dimensional gate
Rank: Unique
Trait 1: Anchor (Can anchor coordinates of other dimensions or territories that have been visited.)
Trait 2: Gate of Time and Space (Sacrifice origin crystals to randomly open a Gate of Time and Space. black iron x1,000, bronze x10,000, Silver x100,000, Gold x1,000,000, Platinum x10,000,000, diamond x100,000,000!)
Trait 3: Blockade (Can seal off the space-time of a dimensional domain, making it undetectable to outsiders and impossible to enter or exit!)
Trait 4: Immortal (Indestructible!)
...
Su Ye looked at the traits of the Gate of Time and Space.
"This thing..." Su Ye took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming.
Sacrificing origin crystals could open a Gate of Time and Space, which meant he could explore other dimensional worlds outside his own territory at any time.
In the Eternal World, a lord's territory could be understood as a small world—of course, it wasn't quite a full world yet, but it could be thought of that way, like a world floating in the endless darkness.
This was true for every lord's territory; they weren't connected. It was possible for territories to collide, but such an occurrence was extremely rare unless it was an invasion.
Of course, in the Eternal World, besides the lords' territories, there were other worlds, and these worlds also had ranks.
The higher the rank, the more dangerous it was, but the resources within were incredibly abundant.
Naturally, some dimensions might have been completely destroyed, leaving nothing behind.
Other dimensions might still have native creatures; in short, anything was possible.
The "Dark Forest Theory" was the most appropriate description; every lord was a hunter, but they could also be the prey.
There was only one reason why lords had to accumulate resources during the novice period: after the novice period, lords would need to plunder resources themselves.
Resources wouldn't be delivered to their doorstep like in the current Void Trial—well, there were cases where things came to the door, but that wasn't called a trial; it was called being invaded.
There are countless worlds in the Eternal World, and these worlds have ranks. Among them, many worlds even have real native gods.
Of course, these dangerous world ranks were generally diamond or above, which wasn't something Su Ye could come into contact with yet—though he could if he wanted to.
By directly sacrificing 100 million origin crystals, he could open such a world.
"This thing is a bit of a money sink," Su Ye said, looking at the model in his hand.
Afterward, Su Ye placed it directly on the eastern side of his territory.
A massive ancient gate rose from the ground, standing tall within Su Ye's territory. The ancient door stood upon the earth, with ripples of space-time constantly flowing over it.
Lilith and the others looked curiously at the ancient door that had risen from the ground, but then they didn't pay it much mind as they sensed no danger.
Su Ye glanced at the Gate of Time and Space.
He would leave it here for now and consider whether to open a Gate of Time and Space later.
Su Ye opened his private chat panel and checked his resources.
[Otherworld Traveler: Boss, you there?]
Su Ye thought he would have to wait a while, but Lin Xiaoxiao replied to his message instantly.
[Little Merchant: I'm here, I'm here, Big Boss.]
Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's reply, Su Ye spoke directly.
[Otherworld Traveler: How much for a seed of chaos? Also, how much for the troop refresh recruitment cards?]
In Lin Xiaoxiao's territory, she looked at the message from Su Ye, and her eyes turned into dollar signs ($ _ $).
[Little Merchant: Big Boss, the seed of chaos is one thousand origin crystals. I have twelve troop refresh recruitment cards in total—how about three thousand origin crystals for the lot?]
Su Ye looked at Lin Xiaoxiao's reply and did the math; the price was about right. The main thing was the troop refresh recruitment cards—they could be useful or useless depending on the person.
The price wasn't fixed. For ordinary lords, such a price wouldn't be worth mentioning, but for Su Ye, even a thousand per card was a great deal.
[Otherworld Traveler: Deal. I wonder if you have anything else? Like barracks upgrade cards or something? Special resources!]
Seeing Su Ye's words, Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.
[Little Merchant: I have barracks upgrade cards too, but they're a bit expensive—ten thousand origin crystals each. Big Boss, you know that the market price for these, like the troop refresh recruitment cards, is the non-fixed type.]
Su Ye fell into deep thought. This Little Merchant actually had barracks upgrade cards. Ten thousand origin crystals each—was it expensive? It was very expensive. For an ordinary barracks, the resources for one upgrade wouldn't even cost that much.
[Otherworld Traveler: Help me collect them. I'll take as many as you have. I don't have that many origin crystals right now, so we'll trade later.]
Seeing Su Ye's words, a hint of hesitation appeared in Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes, but then she made up her mind.
[Little Merchant: No problem, Big Boss. I have five on hand right now. If you need them, I'll give them to you now. You can just give me the origin crystals when you have them.]
Su Ye hadn't expected Lin Xiaoxiao to say such a thing. He was stunned as he looked at her message.
[Otherworld Traveler: Why do this?]
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Su Ye's message, a smile appearing on her face.
[Little Merchant: Big Boss, let's just call it a pleasant cooperation. After trading so many times, I still trust you.]
From Lin Xiaoxiao's words, Su Ye saw only two words: Investment!
[Otherworld Traveler: Thanks.]
[Little Merchant: Big Boss, the trade request has been sent. Please accept it.]
[Otherworld Traveler: Mhm]
Su Ye looked at the trade request sent by Lin Xiaoxiao and chose to trade directly.
One seed of chaos, twelve troop refresh recruitment cards, and five barracks upgrade cards—a total of three thousand origin crystals.
Of course, the money for the five barracks upgrade cards wasn't given yet.
After the trade ended, Lin Xiaoxiao continued to message Su Ye.
[Little Merchant: Big Boss, do you still need these materials?]
[Otherworld Traveler: I'm not in a hurry for materials, but you can help me collect troop refresh recruitment cards and barracks upgrade cards. I'll give you the origin crystals as soon as possible. Thanks for the trouble.]
[Little Merchant: OK, no problem. You go ahead and get busy, Big Boss. I'm off.]
