Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

Gui Cang Divine Pavilion, Wang Teng looked at the shelf list.

Weapons above Green Fine-level had long been exchanged.

Members of the Celestial Court World needed axes to chop trees, pickaxes to quarry stones, and swords to kill enemies.

High-quality weapons would be instantly snatched once on the shelves.

At present, he casually exchanged for a White Ordinary-level weapon, costing 1 contribution point.

Then, he used Endless Extraction to upgrade the White Ordinary-level weapon to a Green Fine-level weapon, and after donating it, he got 4 contribution points.

Through this give-and-take, he earned 3 contribution points.

A hint of delight flickered in Wang Teng's eyes.

Chen Zhen and his companion could only earn 0.5 contribution points from acquiring a White Ordinary-level weapon.

But his profit was six times that of Chen Zhen and the others!

The best part is, only he could do it.

In the entire major region, he was the only one who could upgrade weapons.

While Chen Zhen and their business opportunity would eventually be known to more people, their speed of earning contribution points would also become increasingly slower!

"Not bad! Not bad! When I have some free time, I'll handle this batch of White Ordinary-Level equipment!"

Currently, the Gui Cang Divine Pavilion is flooded with White Ordinary-Level equipment. If he handles it all, he could earn over 10,000 contribution points.

The prospect of contribution points of this magnitude was quite tempting for Wang Teng.

On that note, after leveling up twice in the Western Xia Royal Palace, he also extracted 240 attribute points from the three Kunpengs.

Wang Teng's Comprehensive Combat Power surged, now reaching 5471, still quite a distance from the threshold for Profound Tier Combat Power.

But with talents fully activated, he could also touch the threshold for Profound Tier Combat Power.

Though it was a false Profound Tier Combat Power.

This outcome, nonetheless, left Wang Teng quite satisfied.

If progress continued at this rate, he would be more confident to face the arrival of the Celestial Tribulation.

"Stop thinking so much about it! I've got to rush to Dali and complete this quest as soon as possible!"

Muttering to himself, Wang Teng hurriedly headed towards Dali.

At this point, Wang Teng was indeed racing against time.

He must complete the bounty task quickly, so that the people of the Celestial Court could seize the initiative and acquire more quality resources.

With those quality resources, members would level up faster.

The speed at which the world would be lifted would also increase accordingly.

His hope of entering the top three in the World Ascension Tournament would also be greater.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng sped up towards Dali.

Currently in the World Ascension Tournament, he had to seize every second.

Meanwhile, Chen Zhen and Shi Qiang started a private chat.

Shi Qiang: "Chen Zhen, boss Wang Teng just went to the major region chat channel to purchase Synthesis Hammers, do you think Wang Teng boss has noticed our business?"

Chen Zhen: "He probably saw it, but he didn't mention it in the world channel. However, this secret will eventually be exposed, so we should hurry! It's better to earn as much as we can, because once people are aware, it won't be so profitable anymore!"

Shi Qiang: "You're right! Many people in the chat are now asking us why we're leveling up so fast!"

Chen Zhen: "Hehe~! Let's not reply for now and just keep earning!"

At the moment, the two of them grinned mischievously and sped up the acquisition of White Ordinary-Level equipment using Source Stones.

At the same time, in the Celestial Court World chat channel, everyone was engaged in enthusiastic chatter.

"Haha~! Everyone, our world is just ten Level 10 experts away from the next ascension!"

"Not ten, but nine! Boss Wang Teng already exceeded Level 10 long ago!"

"Indeed! Currently, we're relying on Liu Erlong and the others, hoping they can speed up their leveling!"

"I really want the world to ascend! There should be rewards, right!"

"For sure! When we created our homes, we received attribute rewards, so the rewards for a world ascension would undoubtedly be more generous!"

"Wow~! I'm so looking forward to it!"

"Yes! Let's pray that Liu Erlong and the others level up soon!"

"Big news! Liu Erlong is no longer ranked second; Chen Zhen is!"

"No way~!"

"Wow~! It's true!"

"I'll take a look too! Chen Zhen is second! Wait, what...! Oh my god! Boss Wang Teng is already Level 14!"

"Jeez~! Terrifyingly formidable!"

"Oh my god~! How can this be done! It's incredible!"

This stirred a sensation in the world chat channel, leaving everyone astounded.

Meanwhile, beneath the Tubo Snow Mountain.

Under Liu Erlong's feet lay the corpses of Heroic-level characters.

Not far away, there was also a Grandmaster-level character.

Just moments ago, she encountered a team of Tubo soldiers and, after a grueling battle, finally slew over a dozen enemies.

Now, her level progress was at Level 9, 72%, not far from the Level 10 target.

"Phew~! I wonder what progress Wang Teng has made? I suppose I'll reach Level 10 before he reaches Level 13!"

With this thought in mind, Liu Erlong opened the level leaderboard.

She had been so absorbed in battling enemies that she hadn't checked the rankings in a long time.

The next moment, her pupils constricted sharply.

To her shock, Wang Teng sat at the top of the board, having reached Level 14!

How outrageous is that!

When she looked further down, her heart couldn't help but race.

What?

Chen Zhen had surpassed her, ranking second!

Unacceptable!

She would not allow herself to be surpassed by another man!

She had to reclaim the second position.

This second-place mattered for the ranking rewards.

Even more so for that unwavering ambition deep down in her heart, a sense of honor.

Liu Erlong bit her lip, her eyes flashing with determination.
