Xiao Mo's advertisement naturally disrupted the established rhythm of the [World Chat Channel].
The messages scrolled down at an unmanageable speed. If it weren't for the improvement in strength and vision, it would have been difficult to even catch snippets of what was being said.
"Look! Look! What did I say! Big shot Qian Mo either doesn't make a move, or when he does, it's always a grand gesture!"
"First to bow to the great master!"
"Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome to the elusive master Qian Mo! Please accept my deepest respect!"
"Master Qian Mo is actually selling sets! This is outrageously awesome!"
"Sets? And they're crafted by a Goblin Master!"
"I never expected Master Qian Mo to have already figured out our forging methods! He's so far ahead of us!"
"Please, Master Qian Mo, the God of War, guide us humble brothers!"
"Yes, yes! Please show yourself, Master Qian Mo!"
"Old man, I've divined it. Crafting equipment must require architectural blueprints, perhaps a 'Blacksmith' blueprint. First the building, then the specialized blacksmith unit, and finally materials. That should allow for equipment crafting."
"Fellow Daoist upstairs, you've spoken my mind!"
"What are blueprints? Has anyone seen one?"
"Who knows what a blueprint is? I haven't even dropped any equipment myself, let alone blueprints!"
Many lords felt a mixture of envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Xiao Mo.
The drop rates for the various magical beasts on the Primordial Continent were practically nonexistent.
In games, you could occasionally get good items from killing monsters.
But here, hunting these magical beasts yielded pathetic results.
Apart from synthesizing some Immortal-Demon Stones and collecting materials, there was absolutely nothing else.
Forget blueprints, low-level equipment was rarely seen.
It was only Xiao Mo's luck that he directly annihilated a tribe of Thoran Minotaurs, dropping a lot of low-level equipment.
However, even Xiao Mo had never seen what a blueprint looked like.
Therefore, the rarity of blueprints could be seen.
Up to this point, the only lord Xiao Mo knew to have obtained blueprints was that little brat Dou Xiao Dou.
That kid was like the illegitimate son of the goddess of fortune, getting his hands on a blueprint every few days.
Even Xiao Mo was envious of this.
The messages in the chat channel continued to refresh wildly.
"Not counting today, the newbie period ends in three days. Master Qian Mo chose the perfect timing!"
"Yeah! I'm really looking forward to the equipment going on sale in three days!"
"I've already stockpiled a lot of supplies! This time, I must get some equipment! Then my unit's strength can be greatly improved!"
"So Master Qian Mo's batch of equipment is truly a timely arrival! For the lords, this equipment is incredibly precious!"
"Exactly! Three days from now, we'll face the beast tide crisis. Improving unit strength will increase our chances of survival!"
"Not only that! With equipment, unit strength will soar, and while surviving the beast tide, we can also improve our rating and get better event rewards! As long as you snatch up equipment, it's a massive profit!"
"If we can't survive the beast tide crisis, we'll be eliminated directly, so we have to fight for it no matter what!"
"Agreed with the poster above!"
"It's just a question of whether Master Qian Mo's equipment quantity this time will be enough."
"Didn't Master Qian Mo say the equipment quantity is limited?"
"It seems it will come down to financial strength!"
"..."
From this point on, many lords began to speculate about the quantity of equipment Xiao Mo planned to put on sale.
Almost all the lords were hoping for more equipment.
This would increase their chances of snatching some up.
However, regarding this, Xiao Mo could only express his helplessness!
After all, it wasn't equipment he forged himself, but by Dou Xiao Dou and his goblin team.
Besides, time was too short, and forging equipment also required time.
He had asked this question when chatting with Dou Xiao Dou earlier.
Dou Xiao Dou's reply was also helpless.
With the abundant monster materials obtained from Xiao Mo, even with the goblin team working day and night.
Before the newbie protection period ends, the goblin team could forge at most six thousand pieces, totaling three thousand sets of equipment.
Only three thousand sets of equipment would undoubtedly be in short supply; even thirty million or three hundred million sets wouldn't meet the demand.
However, speaking of which.
If they could forge three hundred million sets of equipment, the resources exchanged might directly elevate the Immortal-Demon Territory to the level of an [Immortal-Demon Town].
Or even an [Immortal-Demon Prefecture]!
But Xiao Mo understood that these were just idle thoughts!
Three hundred million sets?
This was simply impossible!
However, even with only three thousand sets, it would be enough for Xiao Mo and Dou Xiao Dou to make a substantial profit.
Perhaps this time, they could directly gather the resources needed for the Saint-grade [Immortal-Demon Lesser Tribe].
If so, this would represent a leap in improvement for the Immortal-Demon Territory.
With over three days left, the newbie protection period would end.
Then, the beast tide crisis would arrive.
This was the first "major public event," covering billions of lords.
Only lords who could successfully survive this event would have the chance to officially embark on the path of the myriad races contending for supremacy.
And failure meant elimination.
The price of being eliminated was life itself!
Conversely, those who succeeded and performed exceptionally well would receive generous benefits and rewards.
The higher the score in the beast tide, the more generous the benefits and rewards.
In addition, the official announcement had stated there would be a unique special reward, belonging to the strongest and most outstanding lord.
Xiao Mo's target was naturally this special reward.
As for whether the Immortal-Demon squad could withstand the beast tide attack, Xiao Mo was not worried.
This was just the first beast tide attack after the newbie protection period ended.
It might sound terrifying, but he believed the strength of these magical beasts wouldn't be too great.
After all, if they were too strong, exceeding the limit of what all lords could withstand.
And even if he, the lord with the unique unit, were to be eliminated,
Then, after this first beast tide attack, billions of lords would undoubtedly be wiped out.
Xiao Mo believed that the people who set these rules were not so foolish.
The most likely scenario was that the power of the beast tide would be determined by the average strength of all lords, or slightly higher than the average.
Therefore, with the strength of the Immortal-Demon squad, his chance of surviving safely was as high as ninety-nine percent.
As for that one percent, he would leave it to fate! After all, one shouldn't be too confident in everything, right?
What he desired was only that unique reward, belonging only to the strongest!
Since it was unique, it was the best!
Therefore, he was determined to obtain it!
