Chapter 833: Chapter 412: Otherworldly Visitor_2

Together, these factors had resulted in the relic being neglected for a long time.

Mu You didn’t think twice and immediately placed a bid.

In his hands, this item was definitely not going to be a loss, because once the mission entered open beta, such special relics would surely become highly sought after. After he cleared the Tower of Heroes, he could even resell it to someone else if he no longer needed it, possibly making a tidy profit.

Having bid on the relic, Mu You wasn’t satisfied yet and continued to search the exchange page. Unfortunately, items that met the criteria of ’Lunar’ and ’Relic’ were sparse, yielding only two results, both ordinary relics.

[Moonlight Gemstone: When it’s the full moon, recover three energy points for every lunar-related spell you use. Sale price: 1200 points.]

[Shell of the Moon: Each time you use a lunar-related spell, gain one defense point, lasting for 300 seconds. Sale price: 1000 points.]

These two relics might have been nearly useless in the real world, but in the Tower of Heroes, they instantly became very practical equipment!

Naturally, Mu You purchased them all, then just waited for Zhang Yang to deliver them.

In the meantime, Mu You wasn’t idle either; he opened the Fool’s forum and searched for the Fire Transmission Shop, the second-hand store operated by Lu Yao which seemed to also sell relics.

Nowadays, the Fire Transmission Shop had become much more formal than when it first started. The page displayed thousands of items for sale, about a tenth of which were relics.

Mu You browsed through and found three Lunar Relics! Though they were all ordinary relics, their effects were decent and could work in conjunction with the Moon Scepter.

Without hesitating, Mu You bought all of them.

These second-hand ordinary relics were priced just a little higher than ordinary grade equipment, showing that many people didn’t take relics seriously and treated them as common equipment.

However, having been through the Tower of Heroes, Mu You had come to understand that the value of relics far exceeded that of equipment. After all, every relic had once been used by the Divine Race; it just didn’t show its worth in the Star Spirit World.

When the Tower of Heroes opened to all servers, or when players could someday step out of the Star Spirit World and set foot in the land of the Divine Race, the true value of relics would be realized.

By that time, those players selling relics would probably regret it deeply.

Almost as soon as Mu You placed his order, Lu Yao’s call came through.

"Did you just place an order in my shop?" Lu Yao’s voice conveyed confusion as soon as the call connected.

"Yes," Mu You said, "I need them urgently. Can you deliver them by tomorrow?"

"I can manage that, but why are you buying so many useless relics?" Lu Yao asked curiously.

"They’re useful to me. Also, I suggest you sell off the lower-level equipment in your store and stock up on relics. Take advantage of the current low prices of relics before they spike; it’s still early enough to make a move..." Mu You hinted to her.

Once the Tower of Heroes mission became public, the prices of relics were certain to surge.

"Huh?" Lu Yao was taken aback, her merchant’s intuition immediately picking up on a business opportunity from Mu You’s words, "What do you mean? Clarify it for me, quick!"

"It’s a long story. You should go check out White Maple City," he replied.

"White Maple City? You mean the place with the Sunlight Elves?"

"Yes, the Tower of Heroes in White Maple City. Go experience it for yourself, and you’ll understand what I mean."

...

On the other side, in Indonesia.

"NO!"

The African elder watched the in-game prompt [You were killed in a last-ditch counter-attack] and covered his head in frustration.

He had painstakingly caught up to his opponent’s progress, meeting them at the very last step, only to lose in a one-on-one duel...

’Last-ditch counter-attack’ implied that the gap between them was incredibly small. If they fought again, or if he had even a few more points of health, the outcome might have been different.

Unfortunately, it was this slight difference that not only ended his progress but also made him watch helplessly as his opponent cleared the 40th level for the first time!

There was nothing more frustrating than such a death; he would have preferred to fall one step behind and be killed by a monster...

After his lament, the African elder immediately informed the other two in his group about the news.

This 2459 had now become their greatest competitor and deserved serious attention!

"A Divine Artifact that can lock the lunar phase?"

The two were also shocked after hearing the news.

Isaac had once come across the Moon Scepter in a shop, so as soon as he saw the ’Lunar Phase Lock’ prompt in their latest battle, he guessed that his opponent possessed this Divine Artifact.

"This guy actually has a Divine Artifact, just like Old Zak... no wonder he managed to defeat me..." Casanova exclaimed.

From the intelligence they had gathered over the past few days, they all knew very well the massive boost a Divine Artifact could provide compared to various relics. It was precisely because of the Moon Goddess’ Eye that Old Zak had surged to the 39th level today.

"Forget about that, the question is what do we do now?"

With a sigh, Isaac expressed his concern. Initially, the three of them had planned to secure all the first clears for this mission together, but they never expected a competitor like this to suddenly emerge.

This mysterious 2459 was too formidable. On the very first day of the mission, he had snatched two first clears from them and beat each of them in turn, creating a sense of pressure that felt even more daunting than the Demon King at the top of the tower!

If the situation continued, the opponent might clear the 50th level the day after tomorrow, completing the mission ahead of everyone else...
