Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ji Chen watched this scene and sighed, putting the Amplifying Staff into his backpack.

Now, there was only one player left among the three.

This player brought a blueprint.

As Ji Chen took it and examined it closely, he was instantly astonished.

This blueprint was no ordinary one…

[Blueprint: Elemental Arrow Tower]

[Tier]: Five-Star

[Effect]: Capable of launching different elemental arrows to attack ground, aerial, and underwater enemies, inflicting powerful spell damage, and causing different negative effects based on the arrow’s element.

[Required Resources for Construction]: 50,000 units of Stone, 10,000 units of Crystal, 10,000 units of Mithril, 10,000 units of Fine Gold.

[Area Size]: 30x30x75

[Attack Range]: 50-3000 meters

The blueprint allowed for the construction of the Elemental Arrow Tower, a building that could launch elemental arrows to attack enemies.

In other words, it was a territorial defensive structure.

Based on its blueprint tier and the required construction resources, its power was undoubtedly extraordinary.

Moreover, the Crown of the Ocean greatly needed such a defensive building, and its anti-air capabilities made it even more valuable in Ji Chen’s eyes.

Armed with the Elemental Arrow Tower, they could effectively neutralize the threat posed by the Floating Skyriders!

But why would this player take out such a precious blueprint to sell?

Couldn’t they keep it for themselves?

When Ji Chen asked this question, the player’s face showed a hint of bitterness.

“Big Boss, 1 obtained this blueprint from a treasure chest, but 1 almost lost all my troops defeating the wilderness creatures guarding it.

“This blueprint is indeed valuable and rare, but it’s a bit awkward for me.

“1 don’t even know how long it will take for me to gather all the materials and resources needed to build it. So, instead of leaving it in my backpack collecting dust, I’d rather take it out now and exchange it for resources.”

“This way, 1 can develop as quickly as possible, as survival is the top priority.”

After hearing this, Ji Chen suddenly realized and found himself agreeing with the player’s reasoning.

For most players, obtaining the construction materials for an Elemental Arrow Tower would undoubtedly be a tremendous challenge.

Even for Ji Chen, gathering such a quantity of resources wasn’t an easy task.

The player’s train of thought was quite clear and reasonable.

“Then how much do you plan to offer for this blueprint?”

“40,000, no, 30,000… gold coins?” The player hesitated and said.

Selling a five-star tier blueprint for just 30, 000 gold coins, are you being charitable?

Ji Chen couldn’t help but inwardly mock.

He was just about to suggest a suitable price when he realized he had no idea what amount to propose.

After all, he was purchasing this level of blueprint for the first time and had no reference point for pricing.

After thinking it over, Ji Chen opened the forum and began searching for related posts.

Soon, he closed the forum and directly stated a price.

“How about 80,000 gold coins?”

“What? 80,000?” The player was stunned. He hadn’t expected to sell it at such a price.

80,000 gold coins, wasn’t that more than ten times the price of the staff from earlier?

It was nearly twenty times the amount of the first player’s transaction!

“What’s wrong? Do you think it’s too low?”

“No, no, no, it’s enough, it’s enough! That price is fine!” The player hurriedly replied, afraid that Ji Chen might change his mind.

“Then it’s a deal.”

As the player walked out of the cabin, the brilliant sunlight shining on his face, he still seemed somewhat dazed.

He obtained 80,000 gold coins just like that?

It felt unreal.

With 80,000 gold coins, how much resources could he buy?

How much food could he purchase?

How many beautiful ladies could he afford?

At this moment, his mood was like becoming rich overnight, and he felt incredibly delighted.

However, when he saw other players passing by, his expression immediately became extremely nervous.

Looking around, just like the female player, he hurriedly left with his guards.

Inside the cabin.

Ji Chen looked at the things he had obtained from the transactions and felt quite satisfied.

Eight military recruitment camp cores, one two-star staff, and a five-star blueprint.

Although he spent quite a bit of gold coins, it was worth it.

Besides, what’s the point of keeping gold coins if he doesn’t spend them? Should he hoard them like Edward and take them to the grave?

Ji Chen decided that this time he would spend money as much as possible, extravagantly.

Setting a small goal, he planned to spend at least three hundred thousand gold coins from his current stash.

As l_Love_Black_Stockings, who was observing from the side, witnessed the entire process of the three transactions, she remained calm at the beginning.

At first, when Ji Chen casually spent over four thousand gold coins to buy the military recruitment camp core, she remained calm.

After all, the player’s military troops were their capital, and spending gold coins on military recruitment camp cores to recruit more troops was quite normal.

Then she saw Ji Chen spend nine thousand gold coins to buy a staff.

Though she couldn’t help but admire the Big Boss’s wealth, it made sense considering that he seemed to be a mage, and buying a suitable staff was also normal.

So, she wasn’t too surprised and remained relatively calm.

But in the end, when she saw Ji Chen remain calm, not even blinking an eye, as he casually threw out 80,000 gold coins to buy a blueprint that required a massive amount of resources to construct, she couldn’t stay calm anymore.

Her heart screamed loudly.

That’s a whole 80,000 gold coins!

Why does he look so composed, as if he’s just buying something worth eight coins!?

In an instant, l_Love_Black_Stockings felt the overwhelming financial power of a wealthy player.

No wonder he didn’t care about the few thousand gold coins she collected as a ferry fee. To be able to easily produce so much gold indicates terrifying wealth!

He’s simply an inhuman tycoon!

He’s not only powerful but also rich, and he’s extremely generous.

For a moment, l_Love_Black_Stockings even felt like asking the Islander to financially support her.

However, when she looked at Alice, the beautiful and obedient woman who was always standing beside the Big Boss, she dismissed that idea.

With such high attractiveness and being a powerful hero, even with her “Black Stockings” charm, she couldn’t compete.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, Alice turned her head to look at her.

In her sapphire-like eyes, a hint of confusion flashed.

Seeing such a perfect and enchanting profile that even women would find attractive, I_Love_Black_Stockings was instantly enchanted.

In her heart, she trembled and kept repeating to herself, “I’m not into women, I’m not into women.”

Ji Chen put away the staff and blueprint, then suddenly noticed l_Love_Black_ Stockings’ body trembling and murmuring to herself, so he curiously asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

“Not at all, just feeling a bit warm here,” I_Love_Black_Stockings tried to maintain a calm face as she fanned herself.

At that moment, Anina, who had been invisible, jumped out with a mischievous smile on her face.

“I saw it! She was staring at Alice just now!”

Upon hearing this, I_Love_Black_Stockings’ face changed dramatically, and she couldn’t hold back her embarrassment.

Feeling the gazes from Ji Chen and Alice, she became extremely awkward, stuttering and trying to explain herself.

Ji Chen glanced at her a few times, finding it a bit strange, but he didn’t press further. He got up, stretched lazily, and suggested, “If it’s too hot here, let’s go up to the deck for some fresh air.”

With that, he walked towards the outside of the cabin.

On the spacious deck, many players were engaged in various transactions.

The sounds of buying and selling, the simple stalls on the ground, the diverse array of goods, and the bustling crowd reminded Ji Chen of the lively scenes he experienced back on Earth during temple fairs.

Looking at this scene, I_Love_Black_Stockings couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s been a long time since I entered this world, and 1 haven’t seen such a lively scene. It feels quite nice.”

Ji Chen stood with his hands behind his back and remained silent, his gaze profound as he thought about many things.

If one day, the New Moon Islands could be as lively as this, how wonderful would that be?

When that time comes, not only players would come from afar to the New Moon Islands, but the native inhabitants would also flock there.

The Crown of the Ocean would undoubtedly become the shining gem he had envisioned when he first named it, becoming a dazzling pearl in the ocean!
