Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

This spirit liquid truly deserves to be considered an intermediate resource!

It is indeed worth the price.

Wang Teng was extremely satisfied.

What he lacked the most right now was time.

His schedule was jam-packed every moment, and he constantly raced against time.

Now, with a resource that saved him time, it naturally lifted his spirits.

Right away, Wang Teng downed the glass of spirit liquid in one go.

A moment later, after the spirit liquid was absorbed, his essence, qi, and spirit increased a few degrees, and even his experience points soared by over 100 points!

Not bad! Not bad!

This shows that consuming spirit liquid over time can also level you up.

Speaking of, source stones are basic resources.

Spirit liquid is intermediate, and it seems like an evolved version of source stones.

At this thought, Wang Teng poured another glass to continue tasting and analyzing it.

A moment later, he finished a unit of spirit liquid and got the analysis result.

Absorbing one unit of spirit liquid grants 300 experience points, taking 5 minutes for complete absorption.

Whereas absorbing one source stone gives 100 experience points, also taking 5 minutes in total for absorption.

Thus, absorbing spirit liquid is quite cost-effective.

The same time yields triple the experience, thus tripling the leveling speed!

Wang Teng's eyes lit up.

This could accelerate the leveling speed of the Celestial Court members!

Of course, Wang Teng had little interest in the leveling speed from absorbing spirit liquids.

It's far slower than leveling up by slaying enemies.

But for those members, especially non-combatant ones, this was an immense boon!

Celestial Court might be strong now, yet over a hundred members remain at Level 7. It's time to speed up their leveling.

He wanted every member of the Celestial Court to reach Level 10 and above.

Additionally, he planned to find other Hua Country world dungeons.

Those had even lower levels, with many stuck at Level 5.

This would bring them tremendous benefits.

Besides, to develop the Celestial Court world into a superpower, he needed a large number of members.

Letting those from Hua Country benefit would make them more willing to join the Celestial Court.

Couldn't just let those Western scumbags benefit, right?

Those scumbags harbor ingrained resistance towards Hua Country.

It's impossible for them to genuinely join the Celestial Court.

"It seems I need to produce more spirit liquid. But I'm curious about the market effect if the spirit liquid is donated?"

Wang Teng had that thought and casually donated 50 units of spirit liquid.

At the same time, many members in the chat channel were hotly discussing the major region channel matters.

"Everyone, those scumbags on the major region channel have stopped dealing source stones with us, complaining the source stone prices are too high."

"Haha~! Those guys are anxious! At this last minute, they want to exchange limited resources for more source stones, hoping to level up for survival. After all, in seven days, there will be even more terrifying trials awaiting them."

"Indeed~! Those scumbags are still waiting for the 28 world dungeons to possibly have some complete the realm master bounty, to buy cheaper source stones."

"Have a few finished? Tch~! They underestimate the difficulty of the realm master bounty. Don't think that because our boss Wang Teng completed it successfully, they can too. Can they compare to our boss?"

"Ignorance and arrogance, common ailments! Even if they completed the realm master bounty, with our source stone prices halved, we'd still do business!"

With those words, a cold mechanical voice delivered a prompt.

[Prompt: Realm Master Wang Teng has donated 50 units of spirit liquid to the Celestial Court, gaining 1000 contribution points!]

This news stirred everyone.

"Hmm?! Boss Wang Teng has donated new resources again!"

"Spirit Liquid?! Is this another novel thing?"

"Things produced by the boss are top quality, let's all rush it, brothers!"

"I'm in too~!"

"Damn~! I want some as well, slow down everyone!"

Immediately, everyone rushed to Gui Cang God for exchange.

In just a moment, all 50 units of spirit liquid were redeemed.

Those who acted late were filled with regret.

Soon after, the chat channel boiled over entirely.

"Oh my God~! Brothers, this spirit liquid is just too powerful! Absorbing one unit provides 300 experience points, three times that of a source stone, and the absorption time is the same!"

"Damn~! That's too strong!"

"Not to mention, absorbing spirit liquid greatly rejuvenates energy and stamina, many times over my Level 2 Home!"

"Whoa~! How impressive!"

"Wow~! I missed such a great thing!"

"I wonder if Boss Wang Teng still has any spirit liquid left to exchange, I really hope so!"

"Yes~! I also hope Boss Wang Teng will donate more spirit liquid!"

All the Celestial Court members were eagerly anticipating.

Meanwhile, in the Great Hall.

Wang Teng was also all smiles.

His recent actions showed him that spirit liquid was quite welcomed, with huge market potential.

Not to mention the cost of producing spirit liquid.

One source stone and one unit of spiritual spring water could make one unit of spirit liquid.

With the Spiritual Eye Spring he carried, an endless daily supply, the spiritual spring water came free.

Thus, producing one unit of spirit liquid only cost one source stone, equating to 5 units of contribution value.

But donating one unit of spirit liquid accrued 20 contribution points.

This was a fourfold difference!

Wang Teng's eyes flashed with wild joy.

He seemed to have discovered a great method for earning a vast amount of contribution points, while accelerating the leveling speed of all members.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng quickly stood up and walked toward the bedroom.

Just before entering, he heard the tinkling laughter of Qian Lingxue from within.

Wang Teng lifted the beaded curtain and saw Qian Lingxue sitting on the bed, laughing as she watched the major region chat channel.

"Hey? Master, you're back!"

Qian Lingxue, upon spotting Wang Teng entering, hurried forward to greet him.

"What's got you laughing so happily?" Wang Teng asked with a smile.

Qian Lingxue's cheeks flushed slightly.

She didn't know why, but seeing her master made her inexplicably shy.

She then answered obediently, "Oh, it's nothing, Master. I just saw someone from Curry Country boasting in the major region chat channel!"

"They said their world instance produced two Level 10 powerhouses from drinking Ganges River Water, claiming its effects exceed those of source stones, being clean and hygienic."

"Zhou Qing and the others worried about the business being snatched. Unexpectedly, the guy from Curry Country got more excited and started selling, and quite a few people bought it, which only made Xue'er laugh harder!"

Hearing this, Wang Teng was momentarily stunned, then he smiled slightly.

People from Curry Country were always known for stunts, so this was unsurprising.

At the thought, Wang Teng couldn't help but grin mischievously.

"Xue'er, here's the Ganges River Water I just obtained. Have some and see its effects."

Wang Teng pulled out a bottle of spirit liquid from his storage space and handed it over.

"Ah?!"

Qian Lingxue's eyes widened. She recently learned through the chat channel that Ganges River Water had an infamous reputation.

"Haha~! Just kidding, it's the spirit liquid I recently refined."

"Oh~!"

Qian Lingxue let out a sigh of relief, obediently took the spirit liquid, and drank it immediately.

She had absolute trust in Wang Teng.

After finishing the drink, she smacked her lips, as if savoring it.

The next second, she sensed something and her eyes lit up with excitement.

"Hey? Master, the recovery speed of this spirit liquid is amazing! It's much faster than the Level 4 Home!"

Wang Teng smiled gently, "Do you think, with the assistance of this spirit liquid, you could maintain the time force field indefinitely?"

Qian Lingxue nodded obediently, "I can! As long as there's enough spirit liquid, I can keep the time force field going forever!"

Wang Teng's eyes lit up: "That's great! Xue'er, I have a task for you now."

Qian Lingxue was also filled with delight.

Finally, she could help her master with something.

She always felt that the task of assisting Wang Teng's rapid emergence of a pseudo-god zombie was too easy, making her feel a bit idle.

Now, she had something to help with, suddenly giving her more drive.

Her goal was to become her Master's best little helper, even a supportive partner!

Such opportunities were rare. How could she miss out?

She wondered what her master would have her do this time.

Regardless, she was willing to do whatever was needed...
