Summoning Players into My Game Chapter 769 - 388: Dragon Crystal Upheaval (Part 2)
Previously on Summoning Players into My Game...
A cold glint flickered in Sean’s eyes as he departed the administrator’s lounge.
"Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall! Next time you appear, it will be your final day!" The thought of the dragon crystal he had guarded being stolen fueled Sean’s burgeoning killing intent.
He had personally sought out the Four-star Divine General Vito, intending to sever Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's escape route. While outright killing wasn't prohibited on Myriad Dragon Star, a tacit agreement existed among the leaders of major factions not to eliminate one another. After all, those leaders resided in the Divine Fusion Realm, making them difficult to kill, and their position also represented the dignity of their respective factions.
Major factions did indeed possess formidable individuals capable of maintaining order on Myriad Dragon Star, but they preferred not to expend valuable combat strength.
The elimination of another faction's leader on Myriad Dragon Star would be a profound insult, inevitably prompting that faction to dispatch powerful experts to retaliate and preserve their honor. Such cycles of conflict benefited no one, particularly between factions of comparable strength, leading to endless feuds. Consequently, leaders avoided directly killing each other.
However, arranging for one's own leader to engage and detain the leader of Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was entirely permissible.
Without the presence of their leader, subduing Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall would be considerably easier.
Myriad Dragon Star, Starry Sky Commerce Base.
Presently, within the defensive sector of Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, Luo Wushang and the eight who had managed to escape, alongside Fang Zhen and those who had already been resurrected, convened.
"President Luo, what was your yield this time?" Yiye Fuyun inquired, unable to contain his curiosity.
They had exerted their utmost to delay Sean, but his power was beyond their comprehension, characterized by lightning-swift reactions and an area-of-effect ultimate skill. The speed at which it was deployed rivaled the casting of an ordinary Sequence Extraordinary Level Martial Skill, leaving them no opportunity to react.
If their gains were minimal, they would be compelled to undertake such ventures more frequently. However, intelligence suggested that the NPCs within the camp had already initiated new maneuvers and were even casting covetous glances at the entire base. Attempting similar actions again would become significantly more challenging, and the subsequent results would likely diminish with each attempt.
"Not bad," Luo Wushang responded with a smile, producing a small metal container. He proceeded to empty its contents, a cascade of colorful crystal stones, onto the table.
The other nine individuals likewise placed the dragon crystals they had managed to procure onto the table. Swiftly, the colorful crystal stones carpeted nearly half of the expansive round table, which measured over two meters in diameter. Their luminescence brightened the hall of the base, seemingly enhancing the ambient energy density within.
"So many?" Fang Zhen exclaimed, his gaze fixed on the nearly half-covered table of colorful crystal stones, a sense of wonder washing over him.
They were acutely aware that the duration of their engagement with Sean had been exceedingly brief, likely not exceeding two seconds in total. Their expectation was that if Luo Wushang and the other eight could manage to seize even a handful of crystals from the camp and escape, it would be deemed a success. The reality of acquiring such a vast quantity was truly astonishing.
The visual quantity of dragon crystals, spread across almost half the table, amounted to no less than a hundred pieces.
Their assigned quota for collection was one thousand, and they had now directly fulfilled over a tenth of it – a truly remarkable accomplishment.
"Our count indicates a total acquisition of 141 dragon crystals," Luo Wushang announced with a smile. "Should these dragon crystals be utilized for cultivation, each individual can use one, and any surplus can be allocated to those requiring just a small boost for their breakthroughs."
This spectacle captivated Lin Qi, who observed from afar on Blue Star.
Based on the information he had gathered after attaining the status of a Starry Sky Commerce elder, dragon crystals were recognized as a cosmic treasure, albeit of the lowest grade. Within the internal Starry Sky Commerce network, a single unit was valued at one billion federal coins, with external sales priced at double that amount, two billion federal coins each.
When measured against calamity monster meat, this equated to twenty million tons. If compared to king-level monster meat, which cost a thousand alliance coins per ton, it would represent twenty thousand tons – a cost far beyond the reach of even a Celestial Human level grandmaster, and unaffordable for practitioners at the half-step Divine Fusion Realm as well. Typically, only those in the Divine Fusion Realm utilized dragon crystals for their daily cultivation, with one crystal sustaining them for a month.
Now, ordinary cultivators at the Initial Tier Celestial Human Realm, and even players approaching the upper limits of the Blood Coagulation Realm, were employing dragon crystals for their cultivation. Should Huang Jiu or Huang Yi learn of this, they would likely be consumed by rage.
Especialy considering that Luo Wushang and his companions were situated on a premier planet like Myriad Dragon Star. Even without the supplementary use of energy blood essence, their cultivation speed was already exceptionally rapid. Employing dragon crystals for cultivation under such circumstances was no longer mere cultivation; it was akin to actively courting disaster.The cosmic treasures, even those of the lowest grade, held energies far too potent for ordinary Celestial Human Realm cultivators to handle. Only those at the half-step Divine Fusion Realm could hope to utilize them to some extent. For anyone below that threshold, attempting to use such treasures typically spelled certain doom, akin to an ordinary person attempting to consume a miniature sun – the result was predictable. Yet, Lin Qi harbored no intention of intervening or halting their actions. He decisively deactivated the system's monitoring functions and retreated to the Intermediate Meditation Room. His objective: to meticulously examine the three newly obtained Super Tier Divine Fusion Realm secret skills. While the system-optimized Super Tier Divine Fusion Realm secret skills could be transferred in written form, Lin Qi opted for a more secure method due to confidentiality concerns. He procured a memory crystal from Starry Sky Commerce. Each crystal carried a price tag of three billion alliance coins, with an internal preferential rate of two billion. Its function mirrored that of an Inheritance Metal Plate, though it possessed a greater vulnerability to damage. To guarantee the utmost secrecy surrounding these three Super Tier Divine Fusion Realm secret skills, Lin Qi was compelled to trade twenty thousand tons of king-level monster meat. This transaction depleted Canglan Star's entire stock of king-level monster cultivation resources. While two billion alliance coins could have been balanced by forfeiting an Imperial Country's cosmic battleship, Lin Qi considered the long-term implications. For future player expeditions to other celestial bodies, divesting the battleship would ultimately result in a loss. Therefore, exchanging for fourth-tier monster meat, a resource with no current demand from the players, emerged as the significantly more prudent choice.
