Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

At this moment, the news of the Celestial Court's upgrade to a Level 2 World shocked the myriad regions.

Some world dungeons were envious, some were admiring, and some were jealous.

Meanwhile, the members of the Celestial Court were all immersed in the joy of leveling up.

This world upgrade brought them many surprises.

For example, the Source Stone price dropped to half, originally exchanging one Source Stone required 10 Contribution Value, now it only needs 5 Contribution Value.

This is undoubtedly a huge benefit for all Celestial Court members.

Especially for those members who rely on Source Stones to level up, the halved price can double their upgrading speed.

For instance, chopping wood, with the same amount of wood collected, they can exchange for double the Source Stones, naturally accelerating their upgrading speed.

This makes some members more willing to chop wood, quarry, and mine, without needing Wang Teng to issue mandatory orders.

At the same time, the Level 2 Celestial Court also opened life professions like Swordsmith, Armor Maker, and Alchemist.

Those who awakened auxiliary talents, although not good at combat, are significantly useful in certain life professions.

The emergence of life professions offered them better alternatives.

It's foreseeable that from this moment on, a division of professions will begin within the Celestial Court.

Some people will engage in life professions, while others will focus on combat upgrading.

This is truly specializing in one's expertise.

As a result, the system of the Celestial Court became more complete, and the future will definitely be more colorful.

Wang Teng was very satisfied with this change.

Especially curious about the life professions of Swordsmith, Armor Maker, and Alchemist, and what kind of professional skills they have, and whether they might help him.

However, what he was more anxious about was upgrading the Level 4 Home.

Successfully upgrading the Level 4 Home will allow him to receive Attribute Value rewards again.

A moment later, he began to review the conditions for upgrading to Level 4 Home.

[50 units of stone (Basic Resource)]

[10 units of refined wood (Intermediate Resource)]

[10 units of refined iron ore (Intermediate Resource)]

[One piece of Red Gold Crystal Stone (Intermediate Resource)]

"It seems this home upgrade won't be as smooth as before."

Wang Teng muttered to himself.

Looking at the materials above, the stones are readily available, found within Gui Cang Divine Pavilion.

Refined wood is also available within Gui Cang Divine Pavilion, and it's continuously increasing, since no one is using it currently.

He already has the Red Gold Crystal Stone with him, so this resource isn't lacking either.

The only thing missing right now is 10 units of refined iron ore.

This is an Intermediate Resource, which he hadn't seen before, so how should he acquire it?

Additionally, for the Celestial Court to reach Level 3, the Realm Master's home must reach Level 4.

This is one of the necessary conditions.

If his home cannot reach Level 4, the Celestial Court won't be able to reach Level 3, and the rewards for the world upgrade competition won't be obtained.

Therefore, this issue is very important.

He must find a way to obtain refined iron ore.

Right, he wonders if any of the Celestial Court members know about this.

After all, many people mean more knowledge.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng entered the Celestial Court Chat Channel.

At this moment, the chat channel was buzzing with excitement.

Everyone was chattering excitedly.

"Haha~! This time I gained 200 Free Attribute points, it's just so awesome!!"

"Yeah~! I'm only Level 9, but my combat power reached 1950 points, almost able to match Pu Xijing, I'm so thrilled!"

"Hey, brother in front! Once you reach Level 10, your combat power will surely break 2000 points easily!"

"Haha~! Of course! To put it plainly, all this is due to the benefits of our Celestial Court's upgrade, thanks to Boss Wang Teng!"

"Everyone, one more thing, our Source Stones have halved in price! This is absolutely great news for us in life professions!"

"Yeah~! I just did some rough calculations. If you specifically chop wood in the Sunset Forest and use the Contribution Value gained from wood to exchange for Source Stones, the Experience Points gained is almost as quick as leveling up by killing enemies!"

"Wow~! Is it really that impressive? I have to go to the Sunset Forest to chop wood too!"

"And a major discovery~! We can apply to become an Armor Maker. We can learn the professional skills of an Armor Maker, one of which allows you to combine three Basic Wood into one Intermediate Refined Wood!"

"Wow~! Is being an Armor Maker that awesome?!"

"Of course, wood armor is armor after all~! The Contribution Value of refined wood is ten times that of ordinary wood, so this way you can earn more Source Stones."

"Yeah~! Doing the math, upgrading efficiency is even faster than leveling up by killing enemies! No way, I want to apply to become an Armor Maker!"

"Hey, you're too hasty! The Armor Maker profession isn't something everyone is qualified to learn, only those with Wood Talent or Gold Talent are eligible to learn."

With these words, the chat channel was in shock.

The vast majority didn't possess such Five Elements Talent.

Only a few were gloating with satisfaction.

"Sigh~! This is too difficult! Even learning a life skill has talent requirements, and besides, it's just an Armor Maker, what's so great about it?"

"Hey, Armor Makers aren't just about synthesizing refined wood, they can also synthesize iron ore into refined iron ore, and as they develop further, they can even craft various armors."

"Damn~! Is it really that awesome?"

"Not only is the Armor Maker profession awesome, but the Swordsmith profession is also pretty great. However, you also need Gold Talent or Fire Talent."

As soon as these words fell, the chat channel was filled with shock.

These Five Elements Talents are really rare, and probably very few people have them within the Celestial Court.

Seeing this, Wang Teng's eyes lit up with joy.

So life professions can refine superior resources.

He had all the Five Elements Talents, mastering life professions was effortless, and he could learn all the professional skills.

In this way, the problem of upgrading to a Level 4 Home was solved.

Right, he should also announce the conditions for upgrading the Level 3 Celestial Court World.

Currently, the World Upgrade Competition is still ongoing, and before reaching the Level 3 World, everyone must remain vigilant.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng went ahead and issued a notice.

[Celestial Court Announcement: List of Conditions for Upgrading to Level 3 Celestial Court (Announcer: Realm Master Wang Teng)]

[The Realm Master must obtain the title of "Celestial War God"]

[The Realm Master's home needs to be upgraded to Level 4.]

[Celestial Court World (including Angel Tribe), must have over 1000 Level 1 Homes.]

[Celestial Court World (including Angel Tribe), must have over 200 Level 2 Homes.]

[Celestial Court World (including Angel Tribe), must have over 30 Level 3 Homes.]

[Celestial Court World (including Angel Tribe), must have over 100 members above Level 10.]

[There must be more than 3 public buildings.]

[Celestial Court's total member count must be over 1800.]

[Note: The advancement criteria for Celestial Court are twice as challenging as other world dungeons.]

"Huh?! Boss Wang Teng issued an announcement!"

"Look quickly, the conditions for upgrading to Level 3 Celestial Court are out!"

"Damn~! As expected, the difficulty of upgrading Celestial Court has increased substantially this time!"

"Haha~! I think it's alright. We've already met the number of members above Level 10, combining Celestial Court Headquarters and Angel Tribe, there are over three hundred members."

"Yeah~! We also have three public buildings already, one World Matrix, and two Teleportation Arrays."

"Level 1 and Level 2 Homes are no longer a problem; with the vast timber resources in Sunset Forest, there's enough for our homes to upgrade, it's only a matter of time."

"Currently, it seems that upgrading to Level 3 Home requires Beiming Crystal Stone, which is an intermediate resource. Not sure where to obtain it."

"The biggest challenge is reaching a total of 1800 members in the Celestial Court. It seems Boss Wang Teng will have to visit other Hua Country world dungeons."

"Exactly~! Only Boss Wang Teng can resolve this."

As soon as the words finished, Wang Teng appeared.

Wang Teng: "Everyone, the conditions for upgrading to Level 3 Celestial Court have all been announced. The main task for everyone now is still upgrading the homes."

Wang Teng: "And my main task is to go to other Hua Country worlds to recruit members. The time remaining for us is limited, so let's work hard together~!"

At this moment, several female Celestial Court members jumped in.

"Brother Wang Teng, we hope you can enter other Hua Country world dungeons sooner to save those compatriots~!"

"Yes~! Realm Master brother, the sooner you recruit them, the better. Otherwise, with the strength of their world dungeons, many people won't be able to survive."

Wang Teng was naturally concerned about the compatriots of Hua Country as well.

He replied: "I will speed up. Currently, I'm on my way to the Ancient Divine Hall and should arrive soon."

"That's great, as long as Boss Wang Teng goes, they'll be saved."

As the words fell, Shi Qiang's avatar began to flicker.

Shi Qiang: "Ladies, you shouldn't be too optimistic; even if Boss Wang Teng goes, he can't save everyone."

"Why? With our resources in the Celestial Court, even if they come to chop wood and mine stone, they have a chance to survive."

Shi Qiang gave a wry smile: "Haven't you calculated? The member limit of a Level 2 Celestial Court is 5000 people, but the First Major Region has 17 Hua Country world dungeons. There should be at least fifteen thousand people now! Even if Boss Wang Teng goes, he can't recruit them all."

"Hmm... I forgot to calculate that!"

"Don't mention Level 2 Celestial Court, even if it upgrades to Level 3, the member limit is only ten thousand, which can't save all Hua Country compatriots either."

"Alas~! It seems that some compatriots can only leave it to fate."

"What a pity~! There are some things we can't help with!"

For a moment, everyone was sighing.

Wang Teng was also quite helpless.

There are some things he couldn't completely control either.

He could only do his best to save as many as he could.

If he could save all Hua Country compatriots, it would only benefit the growth and development of the Celestial Court, with no downsides.

Especially in the early stages of the Celestial Court's development, the number of members played a significant role.

But for now, he had to make some compromises.

The only thing he could do now was to make himself stronger.

Thinking of this, he brought up the Attribute Light Interface.

At this moment, he still had 2100 Free Attribute points unallocated.

In just a moment, he distributed all the Free Attribute points.

He was just about to exit the light interface when a cold mechanical voice echoed throughout the entire Celestial Court...
