Even with Luo Feng's bravery, he couldn't help but be secretly amazed when he heard his friend from Beilong City relaying information about the fierce battle for the Thunderstone outside the castle.
Let alone the five of them, even if his ninth-level stellar-level Golden Horned Beast avatar were to arrive in person, along with the Cloud-Piercing Vine that had just retreated deep underground to advance to the cosmic level, they might still capsize.
……
After Brolin decisively transferred 3 Mixed Yuan Units to Lin Hao, they entered the castle for the second time.
The other major powers couldn't sit still any longer, and some smaller teams immediately sent people in to exchange for several fifth-tier Origin Force weapons. They kept the good ones for themselves and handed over cheaper items like the Heavenly Fire Wheel to Lin Hao as tax.
Lin Hao was well aware of the price difference, but he was too lazy to argue with these small teams, so he let it be.
The news that only one of the three secrets of the inherited crystal ball remained spread quickly.
At this point, the other major powers stopped scrambling to exchange for the next-tier treasures and instead pooled all the Thunderstones they had, approximately 1400 million.
He was led towards Lin Hao by a burly man with purple hair.
"Lord Lin Hao, I'll go in and exchange it first, and then I'll hand over the 20% share to you when I come out."
Lin Hao didn't think much of it at first, but then he casually used a bit of his primordial power to break through the restriction on the spatial ring on his body and took a look.
Good guy!
If those casual adventurers can't afford to pay with Cosmic Coins, then so be it.
You're so powerful, you're even taking advantage of me!
How can these be the same?
There's a reason why he charges 30 cosmic coins for a single Thunderstone!
One Life Fruit is auctioned for about 3 Chaos Units in the outside world, but here it costs 80 Thunder Stones to exchange for. He collects 2400 billion Cosmic Coins for 0.24 Chaos Units.
He only earns 8% of his hard-earned money. Do you think it's easy for him?
Considering the difficulties faced by the independent team and that they genuinely couldn't afford to pay that much money, he allowed the team to exchange for some good items through group purchase.
You powerful forces have absolutely no sense of self-awareness whatsoever regarding the Ninth Princess!
If you guys play like this, where am I supposed to make money?!
There were already few useful items to begin with, and he even traded a small portion of them with Luo Feng.
If you big powers keep playing like this, and then give me dozens of so-called worthless Tier 5 weapons that you exchanged for 2 million or so Thunder Stones, I'll be ripped off!
Most importantly, the treasures that have been exchanged and handed over to him by powerful forces cannot be taxed again!
By this calculation, he lost trillions of cosmic coins from the start!
"Do you think I'm stupid?! I've marked these 1400 million Thunderstones, and the tariff is increased! 50 cosmic coins per stone! No bargaining!"
Lin Hao raised his hand and waved it, and the densely packed thunderstones in the purple-haired strong man's spatial ring were all covered with star-like specks.
Upon hearing this, the burly man with purple hair had no choice but to retreat and quickly report to his superiors.
……
virtual universe.
"What? He disagreed and even raised the price!"
A handsome man with lightning flashing in his eyes roared.
It was Tianchen.
"Hehe, I didn't expect this kid to try and extort money from me! Great, give it to him! I'll give you an account number in a bit, you can transfer the money to him!"
Jiang Tianchen was so angry that he laughed, even though he would still make a profit even if he gave away 7 more mixed units.
But he didn't expect this kid to be so arrogant. He'd like to see how he'd keep all that money once the Realm Within a Realm ended!
Chapter 55: What's wrong with him wanting to set up a toll booth and charge fees just because he sees a door?
As the purple-haired burly man redeemed the final layer of the inheritance crystal ball's password, the atmosphere in Thunder Castle became exceptionally oppressive.
Upon receiving the news, the Ninth Princess, Brolin, rushed back.
She only had 500 million Thunderstones on hand, but without hesitation, she transferred 1.5 Mixed Yuan Units to Lin Hao and then went in to exchange them.
Although the treasures haven't all been redeemed yet, the major powers have clearly received the news. The number of people buying Thunderstone has decreased rapidly, and the price of Thunderstone temporarily sold in the castle area has plummeted, with a drop of more than 50%!
Luo Feng had already received Lin Hao's warning and sold off all his Thunderstones when the price was above 20 per stone.
Three more days passed.
Above Thunder Castle, the figure of the white-bearded old man quietly appeared.
He hovered atop the magnificent castle, overlooking the densely packed forces from all sides below, a knowing smile playing on his lips.
"Hahaha...little guys."
Although his voice carried a hint of laughter, it clearly reached the ears of every anxious waiter: "Just now, my last treasure was also taken away. Thus, all three hundred and twelve rare items have now been given to their new owners."
"The exchange process... is now over!"
Boom!
Like the sigh of an ancient deity, the majestic castle gates, a symbol of boundless hope, began to close heavily and irreversibly.
Dead!
The once bustling crowd around the castle suddenly fell into an eerie collective silence.
Countless eyes stared blankly at the closed door.
End?
This...this is it?!
The brief silence, as fragile as thin ice, was swiftly shattered by a desperate and furious roar:
"I haven't redeemed my Thunderstone yet!!"
"I still have some!"
"I just acquired tens of thousands of them... What... what is this?!"
Like being thrown into boiling oil with cold water, the crowd erupted in chaos!
Those adventurers who had fallen behind and had just grasped their dreams were filled with anguish. Some beat their chests in frustration, some were furious, and some even roared wildly, disregarding their status.
I hope it will turn to dust in an instant.
Those thunderstones that they cherished as their lives and represented immense wealth were now nothing more than cold, abandoned mines.
When the door to exchange closed, these crystals, which once held immense value, became nothing more than dust in the vast universe.
……
'The eldest brother really just packed up and left, how decisive!'
Luo Feng thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."
In everyone's eyes, Lin Hao didn't hesitate at all, taking off and flying directly towards the exit.
Since Lin Hao confiscated Brolin's nine C2-level laser guns, Brolin didn't cause any further trouble.
However, almost no one, including Brolin, was in the mood for fighting. They just wanted to see what Lin Hao was thinking, daring to cause trouble so arrogantly!
So almost everyone else followed Lin Hao closely and flew towards the exit.
……
On the planet Canglan.
In the grand lobby atop the towering skyscraper, two peak Realm Lord level experts, Jiang Tianchen and Hargreave, sat facing each other.
“Hargrave, I’ll say it again: if you want this final password, you must agree to these nine conditions, not one less.”
Jiang Tianchen said calmly.
"You are so cruel."
Hargrave narrowed his eyes.
The two powerful figures faced off from afar.
"I agree to your terms."
Hargrave took a deep breath.
"Hahaha……"
Jiang Tianchen stood up, his face full of smiles. "Hargrave, it's been a pleasure doing business with you."
"joy!"
Hargrave stood up, his face not showing much of a smile.
Jiang Tianchen's smile was quite broad.
"Don't be so reluctant. You want the inheritance crystal ball, these aren't much for me."
Jiang Tianchen smiled and said, "Prepare everything. I'll give you the password later."
"I need a month to prepare what you want."
Hargrave said.
"I'm not in a hurry! Not at all. I'll give you the password whenever your things are ready."
Jiang Tianchen laughed heartily, "Hargrave, your grandson-in-law is coming out, aren't you going? I was extorted by him for 7 Hunyuan units for this last layer of password!"
"Hmph, let's go!"
Hargrave said.
……
Lin Hao flew through the realms within realms for about seven days before finally passing through the exit and arriving at the Wind and Thunder Canyon in the Thunder World.
After flying through the Thunder World for about seven days, we finally arrived at the final exit... the exit leading to Canglan Star!
However, this exit is not as large as the black hole in the Wind and Thunder Canyon. That black hole is big enough for hundreds of people to walk side by side, but this exit can only allow a few people to walk side by side.
Seeing the exit, Lin Hao wasn't in a hurry to leave.
