"Gongzi, you've heard that there's a game story circulating in Fire Cloud City."
"What game?", "The game of death", "What game is that?"
"The rules are like this. In Death Valley, there is a type of crystal. As long as you can find enough, you can get first place. Then you will get a treasure map worth 10,000 tons. One of the two options!"
Duan Meng's heart was moved. He had plenty of Han Mu, but the treasure map was his favorite. He might even have the latest news about the Heavenly Refining Diagram.
"Young master, it's best if you don't go. Once you enter the game of death, you can kill whatever you want. You can use any means you want to kill the other party, and you can take their crystal of death. It would be extremely dangerous, but you don't know whether it is initiated or not. It is like you don't care about life at all."
"People die for money, birds die for food. This is a principle that has never changed. With such a huge temptation, there will naturally be people entering, but I wonder how many people have signed up …"
"Young master, I've asked around. Right now, there are over 80,000 people registering. As long as there are 100 thousand people registering, it's closed. Young master, do you want to go?"
"Of course we have to go. Think about it, a treasure worth ten thousand tons of cold wood, just what kind of enticement is that? I must go. Plus, even if I go in, it doesn't matter if I get first place or not. I want to see what that crystal of death is for to make this sect plunder it so crazily! "
"It is said that the Shang Zong and the Yan Zong jointly organized it."
Duan Ling Tian naturally didn't believe it. Shang Zong and the Yan Sect had both fought over a ton of 10,000 Years Cold Wood, and with such a heavy prize money, even though Shang Zong was rich, he might not be able to take it out.
"Is this a trap?" Duan Ren had been through this many times. The attacks of the Earth Sect were unstoppable. They were trying to kill him. If this event was planned by the Earth Sect, then he would be in danger. However, the reward was indeed tempting. A treasure worth 10,000 tons of Frigid Wood. Just what kind of treasure was that? It was enough to buy half of Flaming Cloud City.
"We must go. Even if it's a trap, we must go. Since the Earth Sect is always framing us, even if we don't go, it won't be safe. After we go, we must go in deeper. It might be a great fortune."
This was the thought of an encounter, as well as the purpose of the encounter: to seek wealth within dangers.
Duan Ru went to register, 90 thousand people, and it went on for another month. When the number of people that signed up reached 100 thousand, then it was over. Later on, people from all over the country wanted to sign up, but it was already too late. Hence, the slots to enter the Valley of Death became very popular, with every slots getting 200 catties of cold wood.
According to the news obtained by Duan Meng, the Shang Zong's people secretly opened up their channels, secretly selling themselves to the over 100,000 people, obtaining 10 thousand tons of wealth for nothing. Even Duan Meng was shocked when he heard this.
"What a way to earn money. Selling the slots in secret and you can get 10 thousand tons of wealth. This time you'll get the prize, and maybe you'll even make a profit."
This was not too late. Large numbers of people had gathered in Fire Cloud City, with the exception of the unqualified ones, there were more than 500,000 people. Shang Zong and the Salt Sect had started another business.
Each pill was worth a kilogram of cold wood, and its usage time was one day. If you wanted to stay in Death Valley for 100 days, you would need to buy 100 kilograms of cold wood for the Qi Repelling Pills.
The result was, the joint office of Shang Zong and the Yan Sect actually sold 5 million Qi Restraining Pills, which was worth 50 thousand tons of Ten Thousand Year Freezing Wood. Even before the game started, Shang Zong and the Salt Sect had already plundered 70 thousand tons of wealth. Even if the reward was 10 thousand tons, it would still be enough to earn 60 thousand tons of wealth.
It was no wonder why people organized events so easily. There was a huge amount of oil, 60 thousand tons of Ten Millennia Coldwood. It was enough to buy Fire Cloud City three times over. Even Duan Jian was speechless.
There was also something else that was more lucrative, it was the joint venture between Shang Zong and the Yan Sect, which won a wager on 100 thousand people (in fact, 250 thousand), the prize money was as much as 10 thousand tons of cold wood, and people from all over the country could bet on it, from one bet on three to one on ten, some of them even bet on thirty, while the bet was at least one bet on one kilogram of cold wood.
Needless to say, just the 100 million people in Fire Cloud City, including the 2 million people who bet, along with the various chain of betting stations in the entire country, had bet as much as 200 million people, and that cold wood was 200 million kg, equivalent to 200 thousand tons of cold wood. Shang Zong and Yan Zong had amassed 260 thousand tons of cold wood just like that.
Even Duan Meng couldn't bear to part with such a huge amount of wealth. Even if the ancestor of the Cold Wood Sect was refined by him and hid in the Heavenly Refining Continent, forget about 260 thousand tons, even 2.6 billion tons would be enough. But, if that was the case, Duan Meng could only sell the main body of the Ten Thousand Year Freezing Wood, that definitely wouldn't do.
He had a lot of treasures on him, so no matter what happened in the Valley of Death, he would be able to get through it. He did not need to buy the Qi Repelling Pills, nor did he have the time to bet on that person to get first place. What Duan Ru Tian wanted to do was to enter the Death Valley and search for the Death Crystal. It would be best if he could obtain it by chance, but if he couldn't, then he would just have to spend a lot of money to buy it.
There were still a few more months before they entered Death Valley. What Duan Ru wanted to do was to take a good rest and recover their energy. On this day, Duan Ru had prepared ten bottles of Hundred Flowers Dew Wine.
"Young Master Duan, it's not bad that you're treating me to a drink of Hundred Blossom Dew Wine. However, it's impossible to get information from me. What I do is sell information. You have to pay a certain amount of cold wood."
"Hehe, Mr. Qi is really a miser. We're friends, we chat casually, and you still want to charge us?"
"I have no choice but to charge a fee. There are rules and regulations here!"
"Alright, how about this, I'll give you 50 tons of cold wood. You can give me a discount and we'll talk for 2 hours. My Hundred Flowers Dew is very expensive and its value is absolutely extraordinary. Without a few tons of cold wood, you won't be able to buy it."
"Haha, alright, I'll treat you to a meal. This doesn't count as violating the rules. I'm Young Master Duan's full-time servant. Your needs are my guidelines."
After being paid 50 tons of cold wood, Duan asked a lot of questions.
"Mr. Qi, from what you see, Shang Zong and Yan Zong shouldn't be so generous, right?"
"Young Master Duan is a wise man, he naturally knows. Just based on Shang Zong and the Salt Sect's ginger, what kind of oil can they produce?" "Naturally, the Earth Sect is supporting us from behind!"
"Just as I expected, there must be a reason why the Earth Sect is causing such a huge commotion, no?"
"Since young master understands, why ask?"
"I'm just confirming it. If I don't participate, won't the Earth Sect's plan fall through?"
"No, even if Young Master does not participate, the Earth Sect will still earn several hundred thousand tons of Frigid Wood. Do you think you can lose out?" Plus, even if you didn't go, the Earth Sect would still have a way to deal with you. If you went, it would be a loss to the Earth Sect. "" What do you mean by that? "
"Think about it, if you go, it would be equivalent to having the initiative. According to your strength, the people who enter the Valley of Death might not be able to harm you. Aren't you suitable for that?"
"Haha, good, no wonder you are a member of the Sky Sect. Your analysis is really thorough. It seems like there is no danger when I enter the Valley of Death. Cheers! Have a drink!" Duan Jiran picked up his wine cup and Qi Tong liked it even more. The taste of this Hundred Flowers Dew Wine was not something an ordinary person could taste. "F * ck, I wish you success."
