Good stuff!

”Good stuff!”

While Gu Xi was thinking, someone next to him said a sentence.

Gu Xi looked up and discovered a chubby player staring at his [Crystal Palace Secret Chamber] from a distance.

”You recognize it?”

Gu Xi glanced at the player.

”Yes, I have seen something like this before.” The player smiled and then extended his hand to Gu Xi, ”Let me introduce myself, I’m Chris, I have been doing business in the market for a long time, that treasure chest stall over there is mine.

The thing in your hand is the entrance to the secret chamber, right? Is it for underwater or underground, and how long does it last?”

”Underwater, lasts fifteen minutes, do you know the Crystal Palace, a type of Dragon Palace.”

”No need to say more, it seems you are not yet familiar with the situation of our guild, I’m familiar with Dragon Palace and such, but you’ve really got a lucky find this time, the Dragon Palace’s treasury for fifteen minutes, that’s a real treasure you’ve snagged.

So, are you willing to sell this thing?”

”Huh?”

Gu Xi looked at Chris with a somewhat puzzled expression.

”You may not know this, once the door of this kind of secret chamber is opened, everyone can enter, even if a hundred or eighty people enter at the same time, it’s not a problem because the space inside will expand or contract according to the number of people entering.

Using this secret chamber alone is really a waste.

The best way to make use of it is to open it to the public and charge admission fees.

And yours lasts for fifteen minutes, the ones I’ve gotten before were only five minutes.”

Chris explained the reasoning behind it.

But Gu Xi asked in some confusion, ”Why do you think I would sell it to you? I can do what you said by myself, I can also charge admission fees.”

”Because you haven’t established a reputation yet, don’t be fooled by them all gathering around to buy things from you now, but if you really say to open the treasure chest for fifteen minutes, they wouldn’t dare to gamble with you on this.

But I can do that, they all know who I am, and most importantly, they are willing to listen to me.

I say when the time’s up and they should leave, they will surely leave.

You can’t do this, right?

How many treasure chests can you open inside, how much resources can you carry, what you get alone in total is limited.

If you sell this thing to me, I can double the profit inside.”

Gu Xi now understood Chris’s intention, but he just smiled.

”Then what price are you thinking of offering? If I go in by myself, I’m likely to take out a hundred or eighty treasure chests, and at that time, I’ll arrange for my Undead to transport them, at least five trips to empty it.”

Hearing Gu Xi’s words, Chris understood that Gu Xi had basically agreed, now it was time for bargaining.

So he straightforwardly announced his offer.

”I know you are taking the path of Death City and Death Incarnation, I have three things here, perfect for your current situation. I think no matter how many treasure chests you open, you definitely won’t get these three items.”

Chris confidently opened a box.

Gu Xi glanced and found inside a scythe, an iron pick, and something like a land title.

[Scythe of Despair (Blue): A component used by Death God, can be equipped to Death Incarnation to increase its combat power.]

[Construction Team Camp Architectural Design Plan (Medium-sized): Use 500 resources, 10 units of Stone, and 10 units of Wood to construct a Construction Team Camp (Medium-sized Building) in the city, allowing two buildings in the city to be built simultaneously (cannot be upgraded)]

[Building: Tower of Despair (Level 4 Base)]

[Building Name: Tower of Despair

Level: Level 4

Garrisoned Forces: 0 units (0/5, can garrison five units, limited to Magic Corps)

Garrisoned Boss: 0 people (0/8, can garrison eight bosses)

Garrisoned Soldiers: 0 people (0/1000, can garrison 1000 soldiers)

Garrisoned Type: Magic Corps

Affiliated Building: Magic Pool (unbuilt)

Note: When the building reaches Level 7, heroes can be garrisoned, and at Level 15, leaders can be garrisoned.]

Seeing these three items’ attributes, Gu Xi understood that this person was trying to figure him out.

These three items really caught his eye.

Even if the Scythe of Despair isn’t useful now, the Tower of Despair is definitely something useful right away.

Gu Xi thought for a moment but did not agree immediately, he carefully thought it through before saying, ”Do you know the Fish Dragon Bone from the Guild of Corpse Bone Fish Dragon, I want ten portions of Copper Bone.”

Gu Xi’s add-on price hit the mark for Chris.

Chris thought for a moment and realized that if he agreed, his profit wouldn’t be much.

But if he didn’t agree, he feared Gu Xi wouldn’t relent.

”Fine, but the Copper Bone is currently in short supply, it will arrive in half an hour, I’ll organize it now.”

Gu Xi glanced at Chris and placed the [Crystal Palace Secret Chamber] in front of Chris.

Chris understood that what they were short of now was just the ten portions of Fish Dragon Bone, the rest were already agreed upon.

What they were short of now was the ten portions of Fish Dragon Bone.

This, for both Gu Xi and Chris, was just an add-on, which neither would owe the other.

So this deal was as good as done.

As soon as the [Crystal Palace Secret Chamber] was handed over, all the players surrounding dispersed.

They all realized that Chris was about to open the Crystal Palace, and at this time, they were surely going to rush in for a piece of it.

If not now, then when?

Once everyone scattered, Li Xinghui, who had been at the side, finally approached.

”I didn’t expect you to make such a choice.”

”Initially, I didn’t want to gamble, but when he said he was a treasure chest trading merchant, I understood what was going on, the treasures in the Crystal Palace are there, but the quality of the chests must be low.

No matter how much I can carry alone, how much can I really manage?

Besides, these items were sent right to my heart, that Scythe of Despair may not mean much, but the Tower of Despair is extremely useful to me.

Not to mention the construction team, that thing can double my Death City’s construction speed.”

Gu Xi knew exactly what he needed now.

His heroes were increasing, and his troops were getting scattered.

At this time, a garrison became the most needed building for Gu Xi.

But on one hand, the garrison requires large plots, and on the other hand, in order to station heroes, it needs to reach at least Level 7.

Starting from Level 1 and slowly building a garrison, who knows how long it will be dragged out for.

Right now, having a Level 4 garrison directly to start with was quite useful for Gu Xi, saving him a lot of time.

Not to mention the construction team that allows two buildings to start simultaneously.

For Gu Xi, anything that can save time for Yalidu City is a good thing.

As for the resources in the treasury, they are not as valuable as time.

Seeing Gu Xi being so savvy, Li Xinghui said no more and started heading in the direction where the players gathered, planning to test his luck in the Crystal Palace Secret Chamber as well.

The admission ticket fee wasn’t actually high, only one-twentieth of the treasure chests harvested inside the Crystal Palace Secret Chamber.

No one would open the treasure chests inside the Crystal Palace Secret Chamber, they would move them all out to open them.

Additionally, the chests have the same size and appearance, making tallying quite simple.

And most of the treasure chests used to bet for luck at Chris’s stall came from this, so everyone didn’t mind.
