Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

Wang Teng was in the high sky, looking down.

This was a vast forest without an end in sight.

Towering trees were everywhere, lush and green, having grown for who knows how many years.

A gentle breeze brushed past, carrying the fragrance of various grasses and trees in the air, the breath of the vast forest.

"A brand-new Great World, here I come!"

Wang Teng glided down from the sky and put away his Wind God's Wings.

He planned to traverse through the Sunset Forest.

Although he had the Wind God's Wings to walk in the air,

the Great World before him was full of the unknown, and Wang Teng couldn't just fly around carelessly.

Walking cautiously is always the right choice.

Moreover, his walking speed on the ground wasn't much slower than flying.

Because he owned the Cyan Dragon Boots and mastered the B-level Wind Wash talent, C-level Ghostly Shadows, his movement speed on the ground was extremely fast, not at all inferior to flying.

More importantly, he could get a general idea of the Sunset Forest's situation to pave the way for the Celestial Court Members.

At the same time, he could also check on the external resource situation, maybe find unexpectedly pleasant discoveries.

After landing, Wang Teng began scouting around.

All he saw were tree trunks thick enough for one person to embrace, and A Glimpse activated as well...

[Birch Tree: Basic resource. Can become basic lumber after cutting.]

[White Elm Tree: Basic resource. Can become basic lumber after cutting.]

[Redwood Tree: Intermediate resource. Can become intermediate refined lumber after cutting.]

[Sandalwood Tree: Intermediate resource. Can become intermediate refined lumber after cutting.]

Wow~!

All these trees are resources!

Wang Teng's eyes sparkled!

Within the Celestial Court, tree resources were abundant, but they couldn't chop indefinitely; some trees hadn't matured to the Basic resource level, and couldn't become basic lumber.

Celestial Court members had to carefully select suitable trees to cut.

As a result, it consumed a lot of time and greatly reduced efficiency.

That's why the Celestial Court World's lumber resources were always in short supply.

However, in front of him, the Sunset Forest was full of basic resources that could be harvested, extending for thousands of miles.

This was simply a treasure vault of lumber!

Even more exciting was that among these trees, there were quite a few intermediate ones that could become intermediate refined lumber after cutting.

The value of intermediate refined lumber is likely several times that of basic lumber.

The benefits of cutting one intermediate tree are definitely several times that of one basic tree.

If the Celestial Court members knew there were intermediate trees here, they would surely be very excited!

At the same time, he could foresee that with the appearance of intermediate refined lumber, it would definitely be used when the Celestial Court upgrades.

It seemed he should make some preparations and have the members prepare more.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng's figure flashed as he headed towards the Ancient Divine Hall.

He didn't immediately notify the members to come; he wanted to explore the situation of the Sunset Forest to see if there were any other dangers.

Time flew by!

In a blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

At this moment, in a part of the Sunset Forest, Wang Teng walked joyfully to a huge old tree.

Beside the intertwined roots of that old tree, a spirit flower grew, its bloom had nine petals, purple with a hint of red, and vines like a spiritual snake.

[Name: Snake Vine Spirit Flower]

[Tier: Rare Level Spirit Flower]

Nice! Nice!

Another rare level spirit flower discovered.

Wang Teng happily approached and dug out the Snake Vine Spirit Flower along with its roots and soil.

Then, a flash of white light passed by, and the Snake Vine Spirit Flower vanished, as he sent it into the Palm Buddha Country.

Since the Palm Buddha Country can cultivate exotic herbs, he naturally wanted to send it into the space for preservation.

Once it grows, its medicinal properties will be better.

Speaking of which, half an hour had passed, and he had already harvested three spirit grasses, two of which were rare level spirit flowers.

It should be known that the exotic herbs in the Celestial Court World are ordinary level, and rare level exotic herbs are exceedingly rare.

Compared to this, the tree resources and exotic herb resources in the Sunset Forest were far richer than those in the Celestial Court World.

Besides, in this half hour, he didn't encounter any humans but met three beasts.

They all had the strength of heroic-level characters, and could already be considered fierce beasts.

However, Celestial Court World members can easily handle these heroic-level beasts.

Thus, he could safely let the members come over.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng opened the Light Curtain to check the upgrading progress of the Celestial Court.

[World Name: Celestial Court.]

[World Level: Level 1.]

[World Realm Master: Wang Teng.]

[Realm Master's Home: Level 3.]

[World Members: 928 people.]

[Public Buildings: 0 units.]

[Level 1 Home: 472 units.]

[Level 2 Home: 91 units.]

[Members over Level 10: 34 people.]

"Great~! Level 2 Homes reached 91 units, the number of Level 10 members is only short of six people! These two conditions will soon be met! As it is, some adjustments can be made."

Thinking this, Wang Teng opened the authority channel and issued the latest voice instructions to the members.

Wang Teng: "Everyone, starting now, members above Level 8, may, on a voluntary basis, come to the Sunset Forest to cut wood. The lumber resources and exotic herb resources here are extremely rich."

Wang Teng: "Additionally, I advise members entering the Sunset Forest not to venture within a hundred miles of the forest, as the danger level there is yet uncharted. Currently known, fierce beasts appear at the edge of the Sunset Forest, with power equivalent to heroic-level characters."

After issuing these commands, he closed the voice channel.

At the same moment, cheers erupted throughout the corners of the Celestial Court World.

Haha~!

Awesome!

Boss Wang Teng finally gave the order, they could go explore!

Now, Wang Teng was the ultimate authority in the Celestial Court.

Without his orders, no one dared to venture rashly.

When he issued the new order, members above Level 8 immediately cheered joyously.

They had long been eager to go.

Members below Level 8 felt a pang of envy.

However, they understood Wang Teng's intention.

The fierce beasts appearing on the edge of the Sunset Forest mostly had heroic-level strength.

Members below Level 8 going was very risky.

Members above Level 8 going, the danger would be much less.

Now, the Celestial Court World members, every one like dragons, all could fight across levels.

Level 8 handling a heroic-level character, self-preservation would have no issue at all.

Immediately, within the Celestial Court, over a hundred members above Level 8 began heading to the Sunset Forest from all corners.

Meanwhile, in the Sunset Forest.

Wang Teng took a deep breath.

From the current situation, the stone and iron resources of the Celestial Court had eased up, enough for all members to use.

The constraint on building Level 1 and Level 2 homes was the lumber resource.

Having those members come to the Sunset Forest to cut trees should quickly alleviate the lumber shortage in the Celestial Court World.

With the abundant tree resources of the Sunset Forest, it could boost the Celestial Court World's timber collection speed by at least ten times.

Thinking so, Wang Teng was filled with anticipation for the future.

He then continued towards the Ancient Divine Hall.

...

Time passed quickly, and another half an hour went by.

Wang Teng hastily moved, encountering more and more fierce beasts along the way, with increasing strength.

At this moment, near a small hill,

Wang Teng glanced towards the direction of the Ancient Divine Hall.

According to the map display, he needed another half an hour of travel to reach the Ancient Divine Hall.

A brief rest, then continue on!

Just as Wang Teng was about to set off again,

a piercing scream came from the forest to the right.

That was the scream of a human!

Wang Teng immediately became alert.

He had just ventured here, and already encountered a human for the first time.

He didn't know if they were friend or foe!

Their Celestial Court was the first to descend into the Great World instance in this area.

There shouldn't be anyone from other world instances here!

And his members hadn't arrived at the Sunset Forest yet, so it couldn't be a Celestial Court member.

If that's the case, it should be the indigenous people of this Great World?

At this moment, human screams came once again from upfront.

Wang Teng's figure flashed as he quietly moved towards that direction........
