Chapter 332 Ye Chen Makes a Fortune by Playing the Victim
However, Ye Chen did not show it, instead, he looked troubled and said, "Lord Orn, I'm very willing in my heart, but once the Pill Master leaves, I will lose a lot of my means of survival."
"You little brat, really! Aren't you just trying to get some benefits, still pretending here! Take it!" Orn said with a mix of exasperation and amusement.
Then Orn tossed out a pile of items, throwing them in front of Ye Chen.
Most of these items were consumables.
[Flame Crystal Stone: Possesses the power to incinerate everything, inflicting 500,000 damage on enemies]
[Absolute Protection: Consumable, creates a protective wall that blocks 888,888 damage]
...
They're all great items!
Orn proudly said, "How about these, enough for you? Thirty pieces of consumables, each with extremely high damage and defense, aren't they more useful than your Pill Master! There's also a Four Star Defense Set, satisfied now!"
Of course satisfied, how could there be any dissatisfaction!
Ye Chen immediately said, "Thanks, Lord Orn!"
He noticed that Crystal Stone, which had no information at all, was it just an ordinary decoration, but it shouldn't be.
"Lord Orn, what is that?" Ye Chen pointed at the Crystal Stone and asked.
"What? Interested in it?"
Ye Chen quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I'm just curious."
If he was too greedy, he would definitely displease Orn; greedy people are destined to be unlikable.
Although the other party had a good temper, it didn't mean he had no temper!
"It's an Energy Crystal Stone, able to provide a continuous supply of vitality, and increases Basic Attributes by ten percent, although its functions are relatively comprehensive, the increase in each aspect isn't much."
Ye Chen sighed, indeed it was somewhat mediocre.
"Still, I'll give you a treasure!" Orn tossed out something golden and shiny.
[Celestial Stone, a universal material for crafting Celestial Tier items]
Although it had just a dozen words, it was enough to highlight the preciousness of this item.
The four universal materials alone highlighted its uniqueness.
"Thank you, Lord Orn! By the way, where should I find you in a month?"
An En said, "Still here, the Secret Realm might disappear, but the mountains won't, just come then!"
"Yes!"
Ye Chen looked at the Pill Master, "Pill Master, you'll stay here and learn Forging Skills from Master Orn for now!"
The Pill Master was also quite willing, nodded, and hummed in agreement.
"Then I'll take my leave!"
Orn nodded.
Ye Chen turned around, preparing to leave with the three little ones.
"By the way, stay cautious, many powerhouse individuals have already descended, and in front of them, I am nothing, especially in those unknown areas, treasures abound but so do dangers, not all powerful beings are as good-tempered as I am! Also, be kinder to Genggeng!"
Orn's voice came from behind Ye Chen.
"Yes, thank you, Lord Orn!"
"Alright, go ahead!"
Ye Chen exited the cave, heading down the mountain.
At the same time, below the mountain,
Hong Ye and four others were waiting.
"Junior Brother Ye Chen won't be in trouble, will he?" Bai Ye asked worriedly.
Hong Ye shook his head, "He won't be in danger, do you think Orn is just good-tempered, actually, it's because of Genggeng and Ye Chen that he's treating us kindly, otherwise we'd end up like those Celestial Wolf guys!"
Hong Ye was incredibly intelligent and could naturally see the subtleties within.
"Ah, do you mean?"
"Of course, otherwise think about it, why would someone as powerful as Lord Orn give us so many things, in his eyes we're just ants, it's not really about chance encounter, he gave us a whole lair's worth of stuff, do we really have such great face?"
Bai Ye and the other four fell silent instantly.
"In the future, we should treat Junior Brother Ye Chen with more kindness and respect, his future achievements will definitely surpass what we can reach, and he will surely become someone we look up to!"
Bai Ye and the others nodded, their eyes flashed as if pondering something.
By this time, Ye Chen had already descended the mountain and saw Hong Ye and the others coming over.
It's already eight in the morning, and the sky is bright.
"Junior Brother Ye Chen, you're back!"
"Are you alright?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "I'm fine, things with Lord Orn went quite well."
"That's good then, we gained a lot this time."
"There are still four days left, and in these four days, we can gather many more things," Bai Ye said with a smile.
Hong Ye glanced at his phone, and was immediately stunned.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother?"
Hong Ye said blankly, "Three days have already passed, today is the fourth day!"
Everyone was also stunned and took out their phones to check.
Indeed, when they entered, it was October 14, now it's October 18!
"Damn, did the time pass that quickly, could it be that there's a problem with the time flow in that place?"
Ye Chen shook his head, "There's no problem with the time flow in that place, the problem should be with Orn, he might have controlled the time flow."
"What do you mean?"
"Did you notice one thing?"
"What?"
Ye Chen said, "That is, when the world changed, it was said that all resources are renewable, but need time to grow."
"Right! But what's the connection between the two?"
"Of course, Lord Orn is completely indifferent to the things inside the cave, but some items are materials needed for forging, he's extremely obsessed with forging, how could he be indifferent to those things? Therefore, there's only one possibility, he can control the time flow within the cave, slow it down, or speed it up! As a result, he can freely control the growth of those things!" Ye Chen explained.
"You mean, he has the power to control time?"
"Yes, but it's only limited to controlling the time of the space he's in, the cave is like another space!"
"How is this possible! It's too far-fetched!"
Ye Chen smiled, "Of course, this is just a hypothesis, it could also be that we didn't pay attention to the passage of time, resulting in an illusion."
"Yeah, that's quite likely!"
Hong Ye patted Ye Chen's shoulder and said, "Alright, let's hurry and gather resources, three days have already passed, maybe someone else has already acquired more resources!"
Indeed, not only their team would have good luck.
Perhaps someone really encountered a treasure trove and got better things!
The group quickly moved, searching for resources all around.
At one in the afternoon, just after they hunted an LV40 monster, they encountered an LV52 monster.
The LV52 monster attacked Ye Chen and the five others as soon as it saw them.
Under Hong Ye's order, the six scattered and fled.
The six of them scattered and fled like this.
Ye Chen arrived by a lake, sending messages in the group, asking about everyone's location.
