Chapter 153, Call to Action for a Buying Spree
Although there was a story of a Tier 1 demon who used its intelligence to wear down a Tier 10 beast, in terms of physical strength and power alone, a Tier 1 demon is far inferior to a Tier 10 beast.
Therefore, although Bai Shuang could forcefully suppress the beasts with her superior rank, once the beasts broke free, their counterattack was quite astonishing. Just like the stones that had just hit Lin Yue, one of them had considerable force, and the system indicated it came from a Rank 6 ape.
The tree was teeming with monkeys; who knows how many Rank 6 or even higher monkeys were hiding inside? If we rashly engaged them, the consequences would be unpredictable. That's why Lin Yue didn't hesitate to run away with Xuan Ye.
After all, their purpose in coming here was to gather resources, not to make enemies unnecessarily. Besides, Lin Yue had always felt that monkeys were too similar to humans, and even if she really won, she just couldn't bring herself to bite them; there was absolutely no need to fight this battle.
Instead of wasting time like this, we should hurry up and find other useful supplies, so we can get them back to the platform later...
and many more!
Return to the platform?
Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, something flashed through Lin Yue's mind. The reason she was able to return to the platform smoothly before was because she used the system's summoning order. Just like playing old online games, after 24 hours, the system would automatically send you back to the platform, a guaranteed "return to town" guarantee.
But today, she relied on the Wings of the Sky to catch up, and it's hard to say whether she can get back by the time she arrives!
In fact, she had no idea when to start counting this so-called "point"!
Lin Yue rubbed her forehead, realizing she had almost forgotten about it. It seemed that the most urgent task was to find a summons.
Lin Yue opened the chat interface on her wristband, but before she could even type any text, she was startled by the endless stream of purchase requests scrolling across the screen.
"Looking for a summons! Anyone have one? High price offered!" These few words were bolded and enlarged, making them extremely eye-catching!
"Five pounds of food plus an equipment that increases random attributes by three points, plus a summoning order, let's trade directly!" Some people couldn't wait and immediately threw out their chips.
"A call to arms! Does anyone have a call to arms? I need two, I'll trade 10 jin of food and a piece of equipment for them!"
"Holy crap, are you all crazy? How many people went? Wake up!"
Just as a bystander couldn't help but want to offer a word of advice, Lu Renyi's message appeared at the opportune moment: "Hurry up, we're almost full! Only 10 minutes left!"
This statement was like adding fuel to the fire, instantly igniting even more frenzied emotions, and prices began to climb steadily.
"Recruiting! 15 pounds of food and equipment per person!"
"Sell me 20 pounds of food and equipment!"
"What the hell?! Are you trying to kill yourself?"
"I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy, I'm hugging myself as I tremble."
"Everyone here is so rich! I'm so envious!"
"..."
Various exclamations and jokes were mixed in with these purchase requests, making the whole scene even more chaotic. After scrolling through for a while, Lin Yue quickly lost interest. She tapped the screen to switch to the small group and asked, "Excuse me, what's going on in the public chat? Why is everyone suddenly collecting summons?"
The moment the message was sent, Han Weiyi's profile picture popped up: "Sister, haven't you checked the regional messages in a long time?"
Lin Yue looked at the screen, smiled gently, and replied, "Yeah, I didn't have time."
Han Weiyi chuckled, first sending a very serious emoji, then said mysteriously, "Sister, I suspect that He Feihong is up to something!"
"Huh?" Lin Yue looked at the sentence with some confusion. "How come all of this is related to him?"
"Yeah, yeah!" Han Weiyi had spent the rest of the day either opening boxes or browsing the chat room, so she knew everything about what was going on. She then explained it to Lin Yue in detail.
This story begins with He Feihong's floating island teleportation token.
After receiving the teleportation token to the floating island, he led a large group of people to the island. They were quite lucky; not only did they quickly encounter a mysterious NPC on the island, but he also happened to be a good-natured one, successfully accepting a side quest.
Although Huang Wenmin and the others hesitated to reveal the specifics of the mission, secrets don't stay hidden forever. As more people went, some rumors started to circulate, and it was said that the mission was related to a treasure!
This news instantly caused a huge stir, and people immediately began secretly gathering summons.
However, He Feihong still had some leadership skills. Although the news had spread, none of the 10 people who went to the island dared to secretly invite their relatives and friends. So it wasn't until Huang Wenmin took his place and opened up the summoning quota in the regional chat that the veil of secrecy was completely lifted.
It turns out that not only is the news about the treasure true, but there is also a minimum number of people required to enter the treasure!
This caused an uproar in the regional chat, with more and more people wanting to buy the summoning order, and the price of the order skyrocketed. Don't be fooled by the astonishing prices currently being offered on the public screen; the previous transaction prices were even more outrageous.
After listening to Han Weiyi's long explanation of the whole story, Lin Yue frowned, thinking to herself that this was indeed quite unfortunate. However, her curiosity was piqued, and she couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you guys go to join the fun?"
It's a treasure trove after all, it sounds incredibly tempting!
When she asked about this, Zhou Zeyang slowly chimed in: "Sister Lin Yue, it was I who didn't let them go."
"Huh? Why?" Lin Yue wasn't objecting, just a little confused.
She and Uncle Dong are both busy with their own things right now, and Wei is too young, so when something important happens, everyone in the group subconsciously consults Zhou Zeyang's opinion, which she knows. But Zhou Zeyang isn't exactly conservative, especially when it comes to something as good as a treasure; he didn't even think of getting involved, which really surprised Lin Yue.
Zhou Zeyang pursed his lips slightly and explained, "Sister Lin Yue, Guo Yu told me about this. He's the one I mentioned to you before, our dorm leader."
After pausing and organizing his thoughts, he tentatively asked, "How about I add him to the group and let him speak directly to everyone? That would be more intuitive. What do you guys think?"
