Gu Dong was very covetous of Luyin's rune equipment. He also sent people to Luyin and bought some demon-slaying swords for research.
Later, the Adventurer Guild launched the exchange of advanced rune equipment, and he specially dispatched a team of elite awakeners, disguised as adventurers, to complete tasks every day and use points to redeem various types of high-end rune equipment.
Then... the more they bought, the more they exchanged, which successfully raised the average consumption level of Green Shade Awakeners, setting a new high for Green Shade Supermarket's turnover and the completion of tasks for the Adventurer Guild team.
Gu Dong was actually very aggrieved. He was peeking into Lu Yin's equipment manufacturing method, but... no one might believe him, because it was Lu Yin who made the move first!
He didn't even have a name for his plan, but his business was taken away without a green roof.
If things continue like this, it is foreseeable that the auctions will be shut down and supermarkets will suffer losses.
Gu Dong knew in his heart that if he wanted to save his business, he must be competitive enough, and the key to competitiveness lay in rune equipment.
However, even the Academy of Sciences could only produce inferior rune equipment, and the researchers under him failed to achieve any results even if they scrapped a quantity of rune equipment that made him heartbroken.
As one of the giants of Lindong, Gu Dong felt desperate.
He opened his eyes and looked at his confidant secretary, "Have those books been analyzed?"
The secretary shook his head, "We have secretly found several experts in the language field. It is estimated that in another three to five days, we can parse a small part of it."
"Where are the other things in the secret realm?"
The secretary thought for a while, "The powders in several containers and bottles have been tested and found to contain a variety of unknown ingredients, but they have lost their effectiveness. It is speculated that they have been left for too long."
"Many other artifacts have also become fragile because they have been left for too long. Now experts are measuring the age of the artifacts. Due to materials, composition and other reasons, it is impossible to simply use instruments to measure it, but preliminary estimates indicate that those artifacts have already survived. Tens of thousands of years, or even longer.”
This speculation was expected by Gu Dong.
Although civilization existed tens of thousands of years ago, which seemed unbelievable, it was nothing compared to the demonized beasts that came from another dimension and the secret information he learned through various channels.
What's more, these items were all brought out from the secret realm.
It was precisely because he secretly mastered a secret realm that Gu Dong was so sure that Lu Yin was able to reach this point because he received a gift from the secret realm.
'Unfortunately, the secret realm is very small, and the buildings and utensils inside are basically abandoned. The most likely high-value scrolls, and the specific contents cannot be translated for the time being... Fortunately, the scrolls are made of special materials. After such a long time, the above The text shape can still be recognized. ’
Gu Dong thought for a while, turned his head and looked out the window:
"In three days, Luyin Commercial District will be opened." He kicked lightly, and the office chair swiveled back, facing the secretary, "Since Luyin has sent an invitation letter, let's go there, remember to prepare Bring the gift."
The secretary was stunned for a moment, then answered. His face was about to speak, but he didn't say anything again. Instead, he said goodbye and gently closed the door.
"If we can find the secret realm controlled by Lu Yin and crack the secret of the rune equipment, that would be the best result. If not, although there is a competitive relationship between Lu Yin and I in Lindong, if it is placed in the entire province , domestic relations... are different again.”
"This world is so big..."
Gu Dong looked forward, seemingly unable to see the focus.
…
…
Green shelter.
With the construction of the commercial district and the news of rune equipment gradually spreading, more and more awakened people are active around the green shade.
Not only the mercenaries from Lindong, but also the area south of the Green Shade where there are many small shelters. All the awakened ones who are strong enough to cross the wilderness have prepared enough source crystals and rushed to the Green Shade.
Some directors of small shelters specifically register with the Adventurer's Guild to complete tasks in order to exchange for advanced rune equipment.
The number of ordinary survivors in the territory has also increased during this time.
Tang Yu has seen the latest statistical data. The number of registered survivors, including the awakened ones, has exceeded the four thousand mark. Such rapid growth is due to the long-term missions listed on the Adventurer's Guild homepage.
Search and rescue mission.
An ordinary survivor is awarded two guild points, and certain technical talents, such as medical personnel, scientific researchers, etc., are awarded ten to one hundred points.
Long-term kidnapping...The emergence of search and rescue missions has greatly alleviated the embarrassment of the Adventurer's Guild's insufficient number of missions. In a short period of time, the number of survivors in the territory has reached a new high. This is also the reason why the commercial district is about to be established and the territory is developing rapidly. Not only are awakened people needed, It also took more and more ordinary people before Tang Yu issued such a mission that even made him feel a little pained.
The sunshine at noon is very harsh, and it is only cooler in areas close to the shade shelter.
Some people often talk about the location where Green Shade is located as a treasure. Even some ability users have noticed that the abilities used within the resort, especially the elemental abilities, seem to be a little more powerful than usual.
However, even though the temperature within the territory is suitable, there are not many awakened people staying in the shelter during this time.
Stimulated by the high-end rune equipment, all the adventurers worked hard to collect tasks frantically. Those who couldn't get the tasks also actively went out to hunt demonized beasts and exchanged source crystals for points, even though this would result in a loss.
In terms of motivation, they have to keep away from Luoxia's Awakened Ones for several blocks, especially when there are Awakened Ones who redeem their favorite equipment, but suddenly find that the Adventurer's Guild has launched new products, making them greedy. At the same time, once again plunge into the wave of crazy missions.
At this time, in the wilderness.
Several awakened people stood on the road full of cracks, squinting their eyes slightly and looking into the distance.
"A little way ahead is the shelter called Green Shade. Does this shelter really have weapons that can easily tear apart the defenses of demonized beasts?"
The person who spoke was a woman, her tone mixed with expectation and suspicion.
This team consists of three men and two women. They are dusty and have tired faces. They seem to have survived in the wild for a long time.
Each of them was carrying a large self-made backpack, and they were also wearing simply sewn animal skin clothes. Some of the clothes had several washbasin-sized scales embedded on their chests and backs.
The weapons in the hands of these people are also diverse.
There are irregular long wooden sticks, there are spikes tied together with wooden strips made of special materials, there are blood-stained claws tied to the wrists... These weapons are all made from parts of the demonized beasts. .
Long-term exposure to the sun has made these people's skin look dark. The two women in the team, whose voices sounded crisp and young, were also unkempt and their appearance could not be seen clearly.
Another woman took over, "I hope so. With our current weapons, we are increasingly unable to deal with the demonized beasts. If we can get a handy weapon, it will be easier to cross a few cities."
The square-faced man in front had an apology flashing in his eyes, "I am the one who dragged you down and made you follow me through life and death."
"Captain, what nonsense are you talking about! Your family is our family. Besides, even if you don't travel thousands of miles away, how can you be safe in this end of the world? The life and death situation is not the same every day."
"That's right." Others echoed.
There was a warm atmosphere in the team.
