"Still owe 50,000 origin crystals."
Su Ye looked at the five barracks upgrade cards in his hand; these things were very valuable, yet also worthless.
A barracks upgrade card can only upgrade barracks below level ten at most; otherwise, it wouldn't be this cheap. Selling them cheaply now is only because it's the novice period.
This is also why it has a price. Things that are truly valuable are priceless and are basically traded through barter, exchanging for the items one needs; that is the normal operation.
When it has a price, it means it's not that valuable, but it's not cheap either.
"Nine barracks upgrade cards?"
A flicker appeared in Su Ye's eyes; this meant he could upgrade a barracks directly to level ten and still have some left over.
"Let's think about it more."
Su Ye put away the barracks upgrade cards and then headed to the Origin Dragon Nest.
With the resources he had on hand now, he would first upgrade the Origin Dragon Nest and the Holy Sanctuary.
On Lin Xiaoxiao's side.
After closing the chat message with Su Ye, her purpose in trading the barracks upgrade cards directly to Su Ye was very simple: it was an investment, as he was currently the largest trading client under her.
This could be considered a type of investment for Lin Xiaoxiao, an investment in Su Ye's potential.
If the investment failed, it would only be a few tens of thousands of origin crystals, which was something she could fully afford to lose.
But if the investment paid off, it would undoubtedly mean she had befriended a potential-filled Lord. What is the most useful thing for a merchant?
Connections!!
At least in this Lord World, that is the case. A merchant's connections are not something ordinary Lords can imagine, especially since these potential-filled Lords are their targets for befriending.
Of course, the prerequisite is that they are not like that lunatic One Leaf Knows Autumn, who thinks about getting something for nothing.
Such people have potential, but in the eyes of these merchants, they are not worth befriending; they are too fake.
As for why Su Ye wanted the barracks upgrade cards, seed of darkness, and such materials, it was completely unimportant to Lin Xiaoxiao, and she didn't want to know either.
The important thing is whether Su Ye is worth her investment; that is the key. Besides Su Ye, there are other potential-filled Lords, and Lin Xiaoxiao has invested in some of them to varying degrees.
This is also a standard operation for a Merchant Lord.
Inside Su Ye's territory.
Su Ye came to the Origin Dragon Nest and looked at the golden troops building in front of him.
Pangilia appeared by Su Ye's side.
"System, upgrade the Origin Dragon Nest!" Su Ye's voice rang out.
[Ding: Do you wish to consume 1000 origin crystals, 10k gold coins, and 1 seed of chaos to upgrade the Origin Dragon Nest?]
"Upgrade!"
A golden light rose within Su Ye's territory. The phantom of an ancient dragon roared and appeared above Su Ye's territory, the terrifying dragon phantom roaring as it coiled over Su Ye's territory.
Finally, it turned into a ray of golden light and merged directly into the Origin Dragon Nest.
[Ding: Your barracks Origin Dragon Nest has been upgraded. Current level: 3. You may view the attributes yourself!]
Su Ye looked at the golden palace in front of him and immediately checked it.
Name: Origin Dragon Nest
Level: 3
Faction: Chaos
Recruitment: 10/30 (Daily)
Gold Coins: 1 Gold Coin (1 million)
Halo: Blessing of the Dragon God
Upgrade: 10000 origin crystals, 100k gold coins, 10 seeds of chaos
...
"It's level 3. What is this Blessing of the Dragon God?" Su Ye checked it directly.
Blessing of the Dragon God: The strength of all Dragon troops from the Origin Dragon Nest will be increased by 100%!
"Very good, very powerful." Su Ye looked at this halo, Blessing of the Dragon God; it was simple, crude, but effective—a noble percentage increase.
Coupled with the buffs from the Hall of Valor and crystal palace terms in his territory, it was just ridiculous.
"The strongest troops under my command are none other than the Dragon race," Su Ye couldn't help but think.
Originally, it was the Original Sin Fallen Angel, but now it looks like it has completely become the Dragon race.
Su Ye looked at the Origin Dragon Nest and walked inside with Pangilia. It had just been upgraded, and there were still 10 units left to recruit today; he didn't know if any miracles would occur.
[Ding: Do you wish to consume 10 gold coins to perform the daily recruitment?]
The system's prompt sound rang out.
"Recruit." Su Ye looked at the dragon statue in front of him.
Ancient Black Gold Dragon +10!
"Did I not recruit a Hero Unit? But this is not bad either." Su Ye looked at the ten young dragons in front of him, but he wasn't disappointed. He hadn't recruited a Hero Unit, but having ten young dragons was also good.
"Pangilia, they are handed over to you," Su Ye said to Pangilia.
Pangilia nodded.
Su Ye walked straight out of the Origin Dragon Nest.
"Hmm?" A hint of red appeared in the corner of Su Ye's eye.
"What's the situation?" Su Ye looked at a patch of grass not far away, and with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, he walked over.
Su Ye looked at the patches of grass in front of him, which were bearing bright red wild fruits.
The area was not small; the entire patch of grass was about two hundred square meters.
His territory was all grassland; where did these things come from? Su Ye checked them with some curiosity.
Name: Earth Spirit Grass
Level: Bronze (Levels: black iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Demigod, God-level)
Characteristics: Bronze-level spiritual medicine. The fruit it condenses can slightly increase the potential of troops below Tier 5.
PS: Evolved from ordinary plants through mutation. The condensed fruit is fresh, sweet, and delicious, and can slightly increase the potential of troops below Tier 5.
"Evolved from mutation." Su Ye looked at the two hundred square meter patch of grass in front of him; there were quite a lot of red fruits on it.
"Interesting, is it the Chaos Spring Eye?" Su Ye looked at the Chaos Spring Eye not far away.
The third characteristic of the Chaos Spring Eye: Light of Evolution.
Su Ye had almost forgotten; he had always been using the chaos spring water as a healing potion, but he had forgotten that the functions of the Chaos Spring Eye were not just that.
As for taking the chaos spring water out to sell?
Unless Su Ye wanted to die, there was no way he would do that. A spring water that could heal all wounds and curses—if this thing were taken out, it would truly be a case of "the innocent man is guilty of the crime of possessing a treasure."
"Is that so?" Su Ye plucked a red fruit; it was the size of a cherry but carried an exotic fragrance.
Su Ye took a bite, and the fruit pulp burst in Su Ye's mouth. It was fragrant, very sweet, and carried a hint of sourness in the sweetness.
"Not bad. It's quite good for cleansing the palate; I'm getting sick of eating meat every day." Su Ye looked at the Earth Spirit Grass patch in front of him; there were quite a lot of fruits on it.
He would call someone to pick them later and enjoy them during the banquet in the evening.
As for selling them? Su Ye hadn't thought about it. Although this thing could slightly increase the potential of troops below Tier 5, it was only a slight increase. If the price was high, no one would buy it; if the price was low, it was better not to sell it.
Moreover, there aren't many Lords willing to spend resources to cultivate troops below Tier 5; they are mostly used as cannon fodder. Spending a lot of money to upgrade troops below Tier 5—why not consider spending a lot of money to get a barracks above Tier 5 instead?
