In the hall of the War Merit Shop.
Inside various small rooms, awakened ones were purchasing their desired treasures.
Some, upon acquiring a treasure, would shout with excitement, while others, lamenting the high prices, would curse vehemently.
Lin Yu, looking at the Longevity Elixir before him, felt a peculiar emotion.
"Which grand alchemist refined this? With such skill, to refine this sort of thing is a complete waste of materials!"
Lin Yu felt that the Longevity Elixir was entirely superficial. While it could preserve youth forever, it would lose its effect once one's combat power broke through.
However, with a breakthrough in combat power came an increase in lifespan, so one wouldn't immediately age.
But such a single-purpose pill, which offered no help in increasing strength, gave Lin Yu no urge to purchase it.
"And the price is as high as one hundred thousand war merits. Only a fool would buy it!"
Lin Yu muttered softly. A price as high as one hundred thousand war merits, and for a Longevity Elixir that had no effect on one's own strength, Lin Yu couldn't imagine who would spend such a large sum.
Furthermore, it had only been less than a month, and only a minority possessed one hundred thousand war merits.
And those who could obtain one hundred thousand war merits shouldn't be buying such a chicken-rib pill, right?
If it were any other pill, Lin Yu would grit his teeth and buy it, but this thing could be forgotten.
He was about to close the page when his pupils suddenly contracted.
No way?
Someone actually bought it?
Who is this extravagant spender?
Lin Yu refused to believe it. He quickly clicked to refresh the page. After confirming multiple times that the Longevity Elixir had been bought, he was completely stunned.
At this moment, his wristband beeped.
Lin Yu opened it and saw a message from Bai Xiaosa.
Bai Xiaosa: "Brother Lin, have you reached the War Merit Shop yet?"
Lin Yu: "I'm at the War Merit Shop, what's up?"
Bai Xiaosa: "You must snatch up the Longevity Elixir. That thing is high-level, and the price isn't outrageous!"
One hundred thousand war merits isn't expensive? Is there something even more costly?
Lin Yu: "Huh? Do you have some inside information?"
Bai Xiaosa: "Brother Lin, in our eyes as men, this thing is both expensive and useless. But for women, it's a divine pill. Women would rather spend all their savings to get a Longevity Elixir. Do you understand the value of this pill now?"
Lin Yu realized. This pill could be resold for a high price. Unfortunately, it had already been bought.
But Lin Yu didn't regret it. After all, in his opinion, it was too expensive!
Lin Yu: "Unfortunately, it's already been bought!"
Bai Xiaosa: "Ah~ I saw it yesterday. This must have been bought by someone pooling money. If only we could refine Longevity Elixirs ourselves."
Lin Yu's heart stirred, and he silently took note.
The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up.
After hanging up, Lin Yu immediately opened the search bar and typed "Longevity Elixir Formula."
Clicking search!
The next second, the page changed, displaying three lonely formulas.
Tier 1 Longevity Elixir Formula: Price: 30,000 War Merits.
Tier 2 Longevity Elixir Formula: Price: 100,000 War Merits.
Tier 3 Longevity Elixir Formula: Price: 200,000 War Merits!
"Damn, that's expensive!" Lin Yu muttered.
This thing couldn't enhance strength, and its tier was very low, yet its price was incredibly high, indicating its popularity.
If he could refine Longevity Elixirs, he would surely make a fortune, right?
"With my current alchemy level, I'm about to break through to Tier 2 Alchemist, so I won't buy the Tier 1 formula. I'll buy the Tier 2 Longevity Elixir Formula directly!"
"Purchase Tier 2 Longevity Elixir Formula!"
[Beep, War Merits -100,000, Purchase Successful!]
[Processing outgoing... please wait...]
"With over 40,000 war merits remaining, the pill has been bought, and the formula has been bought. Let's look at skill crystals and talent crystals!"
Lin Yu clicked on the crystal category and was immediately greeted by a dazzling array of goods.
Lin Yu found that there were many crystals, from Tier 1 to Tier 9, but what was truly despairing was their exorbitant price.
Skill Crystal: Flying Swallow Light Body Technique: Tier 3, Price: 50,000 War Merits.
Skill Crystal: Summon Titan: Tier 8, Price: 5,000,000 War Merits!
Skill Crystal: Meteor Shower: Tier 9, Price: 20,000,000 War Merits!
These were just skill crystals; the prices of talent crystals were even higher.
Talent Crystal: Bone Veins: E-Class, Price: 100,000 War Merits.
Talent Crystal: Wind Spirit Physique: D-Class, Price: 500,000 War Merits.
Talent Crystal: Endless Growth: SS-Class, Price: 100,000,000 War Merits!
Whether skill crystals or talent crystals, the quantity was extremely scarce, with basically only one of each crystal in stock. And what was despairing was the incredibly high prices.
Lin Yu could understand, after all, talent crystals only dropped from some special fierce beasts, making them not only rare but also greatly beneficial for improving one's strength, so scarcity was understandable.
"With my current war merits, I can't afford a single crystal that would be helpful to me."
"Moreover, with my current soul strength, I wouldn't be able to absorb talent crystals in a short time."
"As for skill crystals, there are some rare ones, but they are too expensive, and I can't afford them for now."
Lin Yu gave up on the idea of buying crystals.
He thought his 150,000 war merits were a lot, but he never expected that when it came to spending, there were so many items he couldn't even afford.
Lin Yu even doubted if these items were actually in stock.
He felt like it was deliberately making things difficult, and they were actually non-sale items.
After all, considering the current situation, the only people who could accumulate a million war merits were those in the army.
Forget it, no point dwelling on it, it just adds to the worries.
Lin Yu glanced at the remaining 40,000 war merits and opened the other categories.
Boredly, he searched for suitable items.
At this moment, some medicinal ingredients caught his attention.
Crimson Pine Nut, Five-Colored Flower, Easy Spirit Water...
Alchemical materials appeared before his eyes, and each herb was not expensive, generally priced from tens to hundreds of war merits. Lin Yu immediately entered a shopping spree.
This time, he finally experienced the feeling of being rich.
With 40,000 war merits, he bought over a hundred portions of herbs.
[Beep, processing outgoing... please wait!]
"Alright, now I just have to wait for the items to be delivered."
With a creak, Lin Yu pushed the door open.
"Big Brother, you're out!" Lin Fan, who had been waiting outside, exclaimed excitedly.
Lin Yu nodded and asked, "What did you buy?"
"Big Brother, I have 50,000 war merits, and I bought a Tier 6 skill crystal!"
"Hmm!"
At this moment, two robots walked over from a distance and approached them.
[Beep, identity confirmed!]
[Beep, your purchased items have been delivered. Please confirm receipt!]
Lin Yu and Lin Fan received their items from the robots and, after confirming they were correct, confirmed receipt.
[Beep, have a safe journey!]
Then, the two robots turned and left.
"Let's go back first," Lin Yu said cautiously.
He scanned his surroundings. People were continuously coming out of the small rooms, some covering their faces, even more cautious than them.
Lin Fan heard this and chuckled, "Okay, you're still the cautious one, Big Brother!"
"Less nonsense, hurry up and follow."
