BXBX NOVEL Chapter 57: Game Mall 5
Description: A powerful formation that protects the sect or family grounds from invasions and natural disasters. Upgradeable.
Cost: 4,000 spirit stones
Quantity: 1
One of the most used formations in the world, this formation is used by practically everyone planning to create a force in the game.
This is because it can be upgraded to Mythical rank as long as the player can find a formation master of that level and the materials needed for the upgrade.
The next ones are:
Celestial Library
Description: A library that can be used to store different kinds of manuals. Upgradeable.
Cost: 6,000 spirit stones
Quantity: 1
Elder's Council Chamber
Description: A special chamber that enhances the decision-making and strategic planning abilities of sect elders. Upgradeable.
Cost: 5,000 spirit stones
Quantity: 1
These two items can be used by both Family-style players and Sect-style players as these items are one of the mainstay items that most of the famous Families and Sects have.
They are useful for a long time. Similarly to the Divine Protection Formation, they are also upgradable with the right architect and the materials needed.
Then come the Chamber of Commerce items:
Merchant's Gold Ledger
Description: Increases trade efficiency and profit margins for the Chamber of Commerce.
Cost: 10,000 spirit stones
Quantity: 1
Heavenly Trade Caravan
Description: Enhances the speed and security of trade caravans, reducing losses and increasing trade volume.
Cost: 25,000 spirit stones
Quantity: ∞
These are the two most required items for a merchant, as without these items, the chances of a merchant making enough money to live are hard.
This is because the Heavenly Trade Caravan has a movable protective formation that protects the products from monsters and bandits.
As for the Gold Ledger, it helps merchants increase efficiency and profit margin, as stated in the description.
This is the reason why these items are really popular. And the trade caravan being an infinite amount is the best thing for Xu Qianghua and his group, as they only have money they are in a hurry to spend.
So he started buying them and told the others to buy a few but not too many, as even though they were unlimited, their cash flow was not.
Although Xu Qianghua had expected the cost to be around 180 billion, recent purchases and finding out about two different malls led to the planned cost going off course.
Now it is around 230 to 235 billion luminas, and that is a conservative estimate.
But this is not a bad thing, as the rest of the money would be spent on converting luminas to spirit stones. Although this might seem like a good idea, it is not.
This is because the world has just changed, so the value of items is still not stable, which might lead to the wastage of spirit stones.
So it is better if Xu Qianghua buys items that are either helpful to him or can be sold through Liu Meiying's Chamber of Commerce to gain prestige early on.
Now he plans to leave 1.5 billion for the exchange, so they are not strapped for cash after the game merges.
The rest is being spent on the items in the game mall. But what he did not know is that his crazy actions have already caught the attention of other players who promptly released the news online.
But this is for later. Right now, Xu Qianghua is focused on buying all the items in the mall and does not have any thoughts about others posting about his spending.
And even if they did, it would not affect much as they are not able to find who he is through the game, and they might not even find it using the large transaction records.
As the game system created by the World's Will protects every player from prying eyes.
This was the reason why in his last life, no one knew who the player who spent those billion luminas was, as the player was protected by the system.
Even the government officials were not able to find the person as they had thought that someone was scamming the player or this was a much bigger scam with the player who put in a billion luminas as part of it.
This is because the game itself was not popular and as today is the first day of its launch, someone spent so much money on this game.
But this would also attract more people as they would like to see what kind of game could attract people to spend so much money.
And this is what Xu Qianghua wants as more players mean more cultivators right after the merge.
Although they might not have high-level cultivation, having a bigger cultivator base is better than having high-level ones, as there can be more possibilities with a larger quantity.
In his original plan, he was going to use his excessive spending to create an article and then ask the Shadow members to make that article popular, but now he will not have to.
But he will find out about this later in the day. Right now, he is looking at a rare item that was talked a lot about but never owned by anyone as it was only seen in this mall, then it was never seen.
Spiritual Auction House
Description: Establishes an auction house that attracts rare and powerful items for trade, boosting the Chamber's reputation and wealth
Cost: 500,000 spirit stones
Quantity: 1
Similar to rare items in the personal section, there are rare and hard-to-find items in this section. One of them is this Spiritual Auction House.
However, this item is super rare as it appeared only once, and since no one wanted to spend so much money to buy this item, it was never seen again in this sector.
And on top of that, there is no mention of this item in any of the history books of the other creatures in this section of the void as if this item is unique.
