Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

At this moment, a familiar mechanical voice reached Wang Teng's ears.

[Tip: Edward from the Vampire Clan World has traded with you using a Synthesis Hammer and acquired your Purple Epic Weapon.]

Hmm?!

Another gain!

Wang Teng's eyes lit up.

[Tip: Yang Chao from Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber has traded with you using a Synthesis Hammer and acquired your Purple Epic Weapon.]

What the hell~!

Nice! Nice!

Good things come in pairs!

Wang Teng secretly rejoiced and quickly entered the trading platform, taking out two Synthesis Hammers.

By now, he had two Synthesis Hammers, three Silver-level Blind Boxes, and one Gold-level Blind Box.

In this way, he wasn't far from combining a second Platinum-level Blind Box.

By the way, the task of refining the Power of the Four Symbols he was doing now was a C-level bounty task.

Completing this C-level bounty task would grant a Platinum-level Blind Box reward!

Upon this thought, Wang Teng became even more excited.

He had to hurry to Mount Tai Celestial Candle Peak, find the Sealing Altar, unlock the seal of the Celestial Court World, descend to the Great World, and completely finish this bounty task.

The allure of the Platinum-level Blind Box was simply too great!

Before that, he had one more thing to do.

Wang Teng once again entered the Major Region chat channel and posted a pinned announcement.

[Personal Announcement: Dragon Spring Sword (Orange Legendary Weapon) for exchange of equivalent items. Interested parties can contact for trade. Posted by: Wang Teng (Celestial Court)]

"Boom~!"

As soon as this news was announced, the entire Major Region channel was in an uproar.

"What the hell~! Look at the pinned announcement, Wang Teng is selling an Orange Legendary Weapon!"

"OMG~! I've never even seen a Blue Rare-level weapon! He's actually selling an Orange Legendary Weapon now!"

"God~! Is this real? It's unbelievable!"

"Wow~! An Orange Legendary Weapon! I really want it, but unfortunately, I can't afford it!"

"The enhancements of an Orange Legendary Weapon must be plenty, and its power terrifying!"

"Yeah~! This Mr. Wang Teng is even selling an Orange Rare-level weapon, which means the weapons he owns are even scarier than this Dragon Spring Sword!"

"My God~! So strong! Mr. Wang Teng is too powerful!"

"Sigh~! We previously said Wang Teng was only slightly stronger than Pu Xijing, but this isn't just slightly stronger—it's vastly more powerful!"

"That's right~! No wonder he was able to create the Celestial Court so early."

At this moment, everyone was filled with sighs.

Even Pu Xijing jumped in.

Pu Xijing: "Sigh~! Never mind the Orange Legendary Weapon, if I had a piece of Red Mythical Equipment, I wouldn't have lost my arms and legs."

Zhou Qing: "Mr. Pu Xijing, you're right. Equipment is a part of strength; the Realm Master bounty task is not easy to accomplish. Anyone who wants to do a Realm Master task in the future will need at least Red Mythical Equipment. Achieving it with an Orange Legendary Weapon would be even more secure."

Upon hearing this, many thought it made sense.

Numerous people were tempted!

Indeed!

Even a powerhouse like Pu Xijing faltered in the Realm Master bounty.

Their talents were inferior to Pu Xijing for the most part. If they didn't focus on equipment improvements, how could they accomplish the Realm Master bounty task?

A thousand worlds, myriad nations, and numerous ambitious individuals among them.

Many experts on the verge of reaching Level 10 hoped to create a world of their own.

[Personal Announcement: Acquiring Exotic Herbs, one Source Stone for three ordinary Spirit Grasses or Spirit Fruits, two Source Stones for two Rare Spirit Grasses or Spirit Fruits. Posted by: Wang Teng (Celestial Court)]

"Boom~!"

This announcement stirred up another uproar in the Major Region channel.

"Hmm?! Even ordinary exotic fruits can be exchanged for Source Stones! I happen to have one, awesome!"

"I also have an ordinary Spirit Grass! Haha! I'm going to exchange it for Source Stones too!"

"I still have a Spirit Fruit that I haven't dared to eat. Perfect for exchanging for Source Stones!"

"Mr. Wang Teng is really awesome!"

"Yeah~! Mr. Wang Teng, quickly put your Source Stones on display! I have a Spirit Fruit to exchange with you."

At this moment, the Major Region channel was abuzz with enthusiasm.

Yet, the members of the Celestial Court were a bit bewildered.

No way?

The boss Wang Teng was actually engaging in a losing trade.

It's known that donating ordinary exotic fruits yields only 2 to 33 Contribution Values.

Rare exotic fruits yield just 6 to 8 Contribution Values.

One Source Stone equaled 10 Contribution Values.

If the boss Wang Teng continues exchanging like this, he might incur some losses.

This is essentially a losing deal, not cost-effective at all.

Of course, most importantly, no secondary professions like Alchemist have yet opened.

Even if people acquire exotic herbs, they are only good for their palate.

Direct consumption does not increase Attribute Values.

Of course, the theory that Exotic Herbs was useless was only the ordinary members' perspective.

To Wang Teng, he was definitely earning profit, and a great one at that.

He had Endless Extraction, allowing him to extract the essence from Exotic Herbs without having to refine them into pills, using it directly for himself.

An ordinary Exotic Herb could provide him 2 to 5 points of Five-dimensional Attributes!

This is a hundred times stronger than a piece of Source Stone!

Moreover, he now has over ten thousand contribution points in his hand, which is almost too much to spend.

However, the Celestial Court members are unaware of Wang Teng's situation and still think Wang Teng has suffered a loss.

Of course, Wang Teng wouldn't bother to explain.

He was quite pleased to go along with it.

This way, no one would compete with him in the business of exotic herbs and plants.

After posting this pinned message, Wang Teng donated another 100 Celestial Fire Crystal Stones and set that only members above Level 9 could exchange for them, with each person only allowed to exchange once.

This would allow higher-level members to quickly upgrade their homes and enhance their combat power, as well as motivate all members to level up.

Last time, he already donated 100 Celestial Fire Crystal Stones, but he still felt it wasn't enough, so he took out another 100 this time.

At this point, he only had a dozen Celestial Fire Crystal Stones left.

He thus earned a massive amount of contribution points, totaling over 20,000 contribution points.

Subsequently, he exchanged 20,000 contribution points for 2,000 pieces of Source Stones and directly listed them on the Major Region trading platform, setting some conditions.

If the Western Countries want to trade Source Stones, the number of exotic herbs and plants must double!

Just as he completed the setup, a series of mechanical prompts came in rapid succession.

[Tip: Marigis from He is the Dragon World has traded 3 ordinary Spirit Grasses with you for one of your Source Stones.]

[Tip: Wang Qing from Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber World has traded 6 ordinary Spirit Grasses with you for two of your Source Stones.]

[Tip: Hans from Middle-earth has traded 4 Rare Spirit Fruits with you for two of your Source Stones.]

...

Haha~!

Not bad! Not bad!

So satisfying!

Looking at the dense transaction information, Wang Teng was extremely pleased.

There are a total of a thousand worlds in the Major Region!

Even if each world produces one Spirit Grass, that's still a thousand Spirit Grasses.

If each world produces ten Spirit Grasses, that's ten thousand Spirit Grasses.

This resource is just too enormous!

Just thinking about it excited Wang Teng.

Moreover, he meant to use this method to reap the resources of the entire First Major Region.

He wanted to concentrate all the resources of the Major Region on himself.

Only in this way could he become even stronger.

Before the Celestial Tribulation arrived, he aimed to reach true Ten Thousand Battles.

In this way, he could lead the Celestial Court members forward.

At this moment, he wasn't only bearing the responsibility for himself, but for the entire Celestial Court World.

Similarly, he also needed to earn more contribution points.

Two thousand pieces of Source Stone weren't enough to scour all the exotic herbs and plants resources of the Major Region.

Oh right, there was another upgrade channel.

Wang Teng seemed to have thought of something, re-entered the Major Region chat channel, and posted another pinned announcement.

[Personal Announcement: Purchase of corpses above Grandmaster level, exchangeable for 2 Source Stones, corpses above Grandmaster Level, exchangeable for 3 Source Stones! Poster: Wang Teng (Celestial Court)]

Boom~!

Once this message was posted, it stirred a huge wave in the Major Region chat channel again.

"Damn~! Even the corpses of Grandmaster-level characters, I don't even dare to look at!"

"Yeah~! Is Mr. Wang Teng already this terrifying?"

"OMG~! I once encountered a battle between two local Grandmaster-level characters, and one of them died. I went to scavenge some unwanted loot and just threw away the corpse. Boo hoo~! What a pity!"

"Damn~! You in front are really buying the case and returning the pearls! Hurry back and find it!"

"Wang Teng Oppa~! Why do you want these people's corpses?"

"Hehe~! Our big brother Wang Teng has his own uses for buying corpses. Why are you asking so many questions?"

Just then, a flashing avatar appeared.

"Hmm?! Everyone, haven't you noticed? Mr. Wang Teng has already posted more than two pinned announcements, didn't they say only 10-level strong people can post two per day?"

"Yeah~! Could it be that Mr. Wang Teng has already..."

"Oh my god~! Has he upgraded to Level 15? At Level 15 and above, you can post five pinned announcements a day!"

"This... how is this possible?"

"Too terrifying~! Isn't this too exaggerated! I'm just Level 5, and Mr. Wang Teng has reached Level 15."

At this moment, everyone in the Major Region chat channel was left astounded, mouths agape.

They didn't know that Wang Teng was not just Level 15; he had already reached Level 16.

Of course, Wang Teng couldn't be bothered with these people.

After posting the pinned announcement on the Major Region channel, he directly exited the channel.

"Finally, these trivial matters are dealt with!"

Wang Teng took a long breath and revealed a satisfied smile.

Exotic herbs and plants and corpses above the Grandmaster level would bring him endless attribute benefits.

He naturally needed to intensify his acquisition efforts.

In short, he couldn't miss any of the various channels to quickly boost his combat power.

"It's time to set off!"

Wang Teng looked up toward the direction of Mount Tai Celestial Candle Peak.

A blood-red smoke signal slowly rose on the map.

Then, his figure flashed and headed towards the direction of the blood-red smoke...

Meanwhile, a great harvest of exotic herbs and plants resources quietly commenced across the entire First Major Region...
