Chapter 348: Chapter 326: Gathering 2

Lin Fei also took a deep look at that person.

The two tacitly averted their gazes from each other.

The entire square returned to the situation it had been before, the sky calmed down, reverting to its original shade of blue.

The two powerful individuals from earlier had vanished without a trace.

"All units, organized by squad number, move out from the front. Prepare for teleportation!" boomed the grand voice.

A black vortex spiraled open once more, the strong winds howling continuously as they swept across the square.

The black vortex slowly descended, touching the ground of the square, then squad after squad of soldiers walked in neatly and orderly, completely disappearing into the darkness.

In these squads, each one led by a C-level strong individual. The moment they entered the black vortex, each of them slightly radiated different hues of energy potential, quickly enveloping all the soldiers they led.

About half an hour later, the squad to the left of Lin Fei also began to move swiftly towards the vortex. The black-haired woman leading them conjured up a black totem with snake-like phantoms that enveloped all her team members and proceeded directly into the vortex.

Then it was Lin Fei’s squad’s turn.

The moment he entered the vortex, Lin Fei felt as if he was stepping through a door.

It was only for a moment; the scenery before his eyes transformed instantly.

What he saw was an endless expanse of green, a desolate and boundless plain of short grass that rippled with the wind. A mix of the scent of grass and a pungent smell of blood wormed into his nostrils. The howling winds and the faint, bizarre roars from afar filled his ears.

A lot of people had already gathered on this side of the teleportation vortex, packed together, yet squads continuously flowed out in all directions. At a glance, the entire plain seemed to be crisscrossed with streams of black.

"Killing a low-level enemy will earn you one Energy Stone Point. You can purchase anything you need from logistics as long as you have enough points. The logistics department is located one thousand meters behind the vortex; everyone can return to camp at any time. Remember! This is Zone Twelve of the Third Domain, if you encounter people from other domains or zones, they will surely not be one of ours, kill them all!" shouted an officer standing beside the vortex.

Behind him, a tall screen stood erect, listing a section of items available for exchange along with their prices.

Potions:

Rage Potion: Doubles physical fitness for ten minutes; side effect is weakness for thirty minutes.

Agile Eyes: Increases visual acuity by thirty to fifty percent for thirty seconds.

Flying Dragon Blood: Blood from a dragon beast, enhances defensive power for ten seconds.

Flash Powder: Wide-area flashbang effect.

Invisibility Powder: Refractive powder that achieves an invisibility effect, best used in mono-colored complex environments.

Following are a series of unheard-of potions, all exchanged for Energy Stone Points, with the cheapest costing just one point and the most expensive costing hundreds.

Beyond potions, there were weapon and miscellaneous categories.

In the weaponry category, Lin Fei was surprised to see the Black Demon Sword, a replica of the Blood Demon Sword he had once held; it was priced at fifteen Energy Stone Points. There were also weapons he had never heard of, such as the Orbiting Electromagnetic Cannon, the Force Staff, long-range laser sniper rifles, and odd weapons like earrings, bracelets, and armor.

One in particular, the Ring of Ice Essence: Enhances the freezing range of Ice System totems. Valued at fifty Energy Stone Points. Then, there were traps: electronically activated, trigger-based, timed varieties, with all kinds of power and range available.

Lin Fei, standing amidst a large crowd, gazed up at the gigantic display screen as it automatically scrolled through various items available for exchange.

After weapons and traps came the miscellaneous items.

The screen immediately displayed various Energy Stones.

Spotted Raw Ore, Striped Raw Ore, Bloody Ore, Crystal Ore, and more, with Purple Raw Ore ranked second to last in the lower-grade consumables.

Lin Fei noted a line of small print with details about the Purple Raw Ore.

"Breakthrough probability extremely low; three uses per standard unit for three Energy Stone Points. Applicable for ranks below B. Side effects: premature consumption of ten to twenty years of life."

"Breakthrough probability extremely low?" Lin Fei frowned and muttered, "It seems it wasn’t just the True Force within me earlier; this might have played a part as well. And there’s even the downside of life span consumption. However, even so, Purple Raw Ore remains an excellent resource for breakthroughs. As long as I have one more, I can be absolutely certain of breaking through to a new level."

His gaze shifted to the ores listed behind it.

Bloody Crystal Ore: Permanently increases brain development by a very slight margin; valued at one hundred Energy Stone Points per unit. Side effects: none.

Red Dragon Patterned Ore: Permanently increases the degree of body defense by a very slight margin; valued at one hundred Energy Stone Points per unit. Side effects: none.

Yellow Dragon Patterned Ore: Permanently increases body recovery speed by a very slight margin; valued at one hundred Energy Stone Points per unit. Side effects: none.

...

...

Then there were several other ores which could permanently enhance physical qualities. There were also many other peculiarly functional and oddly shaped ores. Lin Fei even saw a type called Golden Crescent Ore, which could seal someone else’s energy potential. There were also ores that could repair shattered energy potentials, and some that even made Lin Fei’s body feel an intense craving. A very clear sensation told him that absorbing that kind of Raw Ore would be extremely beneficial for his Cultivation Level.
