Chapter 40

The world chat channel erupted with excitement.

“F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!”

“The richest man has started trading things again!”

“This is crazy! Did he type wrongly?”

“Gulp~”

“How is it possible to buy so many resources?!”

“Boss Rene is too generous. He took out tens of thousands of units of basic resources at once!”

…

Countless people were discussing this topic.

They were shocked by Rene’s massive acquisition.

The current players did not need iron or bronze.

But Rene actually wanted to buy a hundred units!

Not only that, he was also purchasing two types of resources at the same time, totaling 300 units.

One had to know that the transaction on the trading platform required the injection of funds beforehand. In other words, Rene had deposited 25,000 units of basic resources just now!

Compared to the two hundred units of wood they had to work hard every day, it was like the difference between the sky and the earth.

No wonder other players gave Rene the title of the richest man.

…

Ding!

[System prompt: 60 wood traded. Obtained: 1 iron piece.]

[System prompt: 50 stones traded. Obtained: 1 iron piece.]

[System prompt: 120 wood traded. Obtained: 1 bronze piece.]

[System prompt: 100 stones traded. Obtained: 1 bronze piece.]

At this moment, a large amount of transaction information appeared on Rene’s trading panel.

Since it was open to the world, there were countless customers.

In just a few minutes, Rene had collected all 300 units of materials.

Without any hesitation, he opened the interface of the Overlord’s Hall.

————

[Worn Down Overlord’s Hall] (Rank 1 Construction)

[Quality]: Normal

[Level]: 2

[Level requirement]: 4,132/2,000 wood, 2,717/2,000 stone, 211/200 iron, 200/200 bronze.

————

He had just upgraded his territory to Level 2 yesterday.

Today, Rene could upgrade it to Level 3.

One level per day!

This efficiency was even faster than other players leveling up their characters.

“Building upgrade!”

Rene confirmed the option.

The next second, the construction workers who had no other missions picked up their tools and started building the Overlord’s Hall.

It would take some time to upgrade the building.

During this period of time, Rene was not idle.

Leah, the flower elf who had been busy the entire day in the plantation plains, arrived at the Overlord’s Hall.

After obtaining permission, she entered the hall.

“Master, you’re back.” Leah bowed respectfully.

Then, she followed Rene’s finger and arrived on his shoulder.

Level 2?

Looking at Leah, Rene was slightly surprised.

He then opened Leah’s attribute panel and added the Skill Point she received to [Cultivation].

Hero units were different from normal units.

When Hero units levelled up, they would receive Skill Points.

Skill Points could be used to level up skills.

For example, the higher the level of [Cultivation] skill, the higher the efficiency of cultivating plants. A high-level cultivation skill could even allow a seed to instantly grow into a large tree.

“Report the plantation details to me first, Leah,” Rene said.

“Yes.” Leah said, “After you left in the afternoon, I brought the flower elves to cultivate the fluorescent grass. With the rich soil and the protection of the elemental elves, the 100 seeds quickly sprouted, but they still need some time to grow. The growth period is about three days, and will reach maturity in another four days. After that, we can pollinate them and get new fluorescent grass seeds in a few hours.”

A new batch of seeds could be obtained in seven days?

This speed was way too fast!

“Master, fluorescent grass grows very quickly.”

As if sensing Rene’s surprise, Leah took the initiative to explain, “The fluorescent grass in the wild only takes a month to grow, but the soil we use is rich in nutrients. With the special care of the elemental elves, it’s normal to grow in a week.”

“The only thing we need to pay attention to is that the glow of the fluorescent grass changes with the humidity of the air. When the air is too humid, its glow will be very weak. It might not even glow completely.”

“Can we harvest them?” Rene asked.

“Sure.”

Leah nodded and explained, “But the fluorescent grass that leaves the soil will only shine for three to seven days before withering completely.”

“What if we transplant it?”

The glowing period of 3-7 days had reached Rene’s expectations.

But he wanted more.

If these plants could be transplanted elsewhere and kept in a glowing state, perhaps many people would be willing to purchase them.

After all, it was very dangerous to recklessly use flames in the forest, and it was also very easy to be attacked by a ‘forest guardian’ like the elves.

“It can be transplanted, but the luminescence time of the luminescent grass will vary according to soil and climate. The time is approximately one to three months.”

“Wonderful.”

Rene perked up.

With such a long period of use, there was no need to worry about sales in the future.

“Right, Leah, what’s the matter regarding your level?”

“Level?”

Leah said, “Because flower elves can’t fight, the way we grow is different from other races. We only need to look after plants to grow.”

“I see.” Rene nodded, “Looks like I’ll have to acquire some plant seeds.”

There were many rewards that the system had arranged for the players. Some players might even get seeds.

While everyone was still building their territory, the plant seeds would not be valued by everyone. It would not be too difficult to acquire them.

At the thought of this, Rene opened the trading platform and sent out his intention to acquire.

Then, he opened the information system.

There were many photos that were sent to him.

Maybe there was something he needed inside.

Rene searched for the keyword ‘seed’, but saw hundreds of thousands of relevant messages.

While the territory was still leveling up, he started searching for private messages.

Since there were many species of plants in the forest, and most of them were poisonous, not all plant seeds were useful.

On the contrary, many plants cannot be planted randomly.

For example, trap grass, blood-sucking vines, and so on. They would cause a huge disaster to the environment of the territory.

As such, Rene would carefully examine each seed’s photo and ask Leah for her opinion.

Two hours passed.

Suddenly!

A pleasant prompt stopped Rene’s search.

Ding!

[Congratulations on obtaining a level 3 building: Worn Down Overlord’s Hall!]
