When he first came here…

When he saw Lin Shurou living alone in this “small villa”, he thought she was a rich woman.

But now…

‘Hmm… Maybe she was once a rich woman.‘

“You don’t have to worry.” Ling Yi began. “You don’t have money. But I have a lot,” he said to her.

Although he had spent more than 20,000 gold coins on materials for the fusions, he still had about 100,000 gold coins left.

If the 1:50 ratio were converted to global dollars, he would have five million dollars.

If it were calculated based on their expenses in the past few days, it would be enough for them to live for the rest of their lives.

“Thank you…”

Lin Shurou was an experienced player and knew that it was very easy for players to make money.

She didn’t doubt the truth of Ling Yi’s words.

“But I still have to try. It doesn’t matter if my formulas are not accepted. I mean, I would be surprised if it did get accepted. Still… It’s something I wanted to do,” She said to him with wide eyes.

“That’s good too. Go ahead and try.”

After they finished watching together, he saw Lin Shurou take her laptop from her room.

The Treasure Alliance gave two email addresses.

One was in the God Path’s forum, to which all players could write. The other was set in the modern world software for ordinary people.

In this era of global information, some ordinary people would still do some research when they have the time. Their understanding of treasure fusion formulas might even be higher than most players.

It was also necessary to set up a separate mailbox for ordinary people.

Ling Yi decided not to disturb Lin Shurou when he saw her concentrating on her computer. He leaned back on the sofa and started to think.

‘Should I give it a go?‘

He had the [Eye of Truth], so he could see the fusion formula for all the treasures.

As long as he was willing, he could easily get all the rewards.

However, he had to be careful.

Providing the formula meant that once he gave it, the treasures could be mass-produced as long as the materials were available.

It would have a significant impact on the domestic and international situation.

Even if it didn’t have much to do with him now, could he guarantee that there wouldn’t be a day in the future when someone would use the formula he provided to deal with him?

‘Mm … Oh, there’s a way.‘

He suddenly thought of an idea that could not only protect his interests but also earn money and contribute a little.

He only needed to provide a defensive treasure!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the right thing to do.

As everyone knows, one of the most important sources of income for the treasure alliance was the transactions with the players.

Under the premise that each player could only wear one treasure, what was the point of looking for more formulas?

Wasn’t it to sell to the players?

The fusion formula was confidential, but the result of the fusion treasure would be made public.

When players saw a new treasure, those with financial ability could buy it. They could purchase the treasures that the Divine Union had created.

Which is why…

If Ling Yi provided a formula for an offensive-type treasure, then Shenxia, or even the entire world, would be in even more danger in the future.

Therefore, for the sake of world peace, he was determined not to provide the fusion formula for offensive treasures!

With this thought in mind, he opened the trading market and looked for C-grade defensive treasures.

Very quickly, he found the most suitable treasure to fuse.

[Name: Ring of the Forest]

[Grade: C]

[Type: Ring]

[Effect: endurance +60]

[Precious Skill: Immediately gain a forest shield that lasts 5 seconds when used. This shield can absorb damage equivalent to 10% of the user’s HP. (Can be used up to 2 times in 1 minute)]

(Ring of the Forest + Plant Essence x36+ Pure Water Droplet x8+ Breezy Branch x2→ Emerald Ring)

This was a treasure that could increase endurance and also provide a protective shield.

The higher the endurance, the faster the player recovers their stamina, health, and energy. Their ability to adapt to the environment and resistance to all kinds of abnormalities would also rapidly increase.

This attribute was also reassuring.

Combined with this shielding effect, it gave people a double sense of security.

He did not dawdle any further.

He quickly copied down the synthesis formula he saw with the [Eye of Truth] and opened his forum account.

After he finished typing the email and typed in the email address, he was about to send it when he suddenly stopped.

‘Wait, what if they get the formula and don’t give me the reward?‘

Even people who had lived here for ten to twenty years might have this concern.

Especially him, who had only been here for a few days.

He didn’t know much about the Treasure Alliance, so it was nonsense to say that he trusted them.

As he was worried about this, he saved the email as a draft.

He turned around and found Shenxia Treasure Alliance’s official account on the God’s Path forum. From its main page, he found a customer service staff member who was currently “free” and started a conversation.

[Treasure Alliance Customer Service No.13: Hello, Treasure Alliance customer service No.13 is at your service.]

[01: I have a verified and correct formula for treasure fusion. I would like to ask if I can directly trade information with you?]

[Treasure Alliance Customer Service No.13: Yes, but you must ensure you found the formula yourself.]

A large part of the value of the treasure fusion formula came from its secretive nature.

If everyone knew this formula, then it would have less value.

[01: I discovered it myself. I’m not sure if others know about it.]

[Treasure Alliance Customer Service No.13: As long as you find it yourself, it would be fine. Then may I ask what level the formula is? What kind of treasure can be formed?]

[01: It uses two B-grade equipment to form the Emerald Ring.]

[Treasure Alliance Customer Service No.13: Can we proceed with the information transaction now?]

Ling Yi had previously seen on the forum that some players were so bored that they would go to the Treasure Alliance’s customer service to joke around. After this kind of thing happened so often, the way the customer service staff spoke became much more concise.

Perhaps they were afraid that Ling Yi was here to play with them, so the other party directly proposed a trade.

[01: Okay.]

Information exchange was a branch of God’s Path trading function.

An average transaction was the typical exchange of money and items.

However, intelligence was considered an information resource, and there was no return.

Therefore, these kinds of transactions were separated.

The information trading rules were as follows: “Those who provided the information would give the information to the other party, and the other party would also submit the promised reward to the God’s Path for safekeeping. After the other party verifies the accuracy of the information, the reward would automatically go into the pocket of the person who provided the information.

But if the information were false, this deal would be considered a failure, and the compensation kept by God’s Path would be returned.

To the person who provided the information, the reward would definitely be received as long as the information was true.

For the other party who needed the information, if the information were false, they would not suffer any loss.”

However …

Before officially trading information with the Treasure Alliance, Ling Yi raised another question.

[01: The reward for providing a B-grade fusion formula is two million gold coins, right? I wonder if I can convert some of it into materials as a reward?]

This morning, he couldn’t find the “Holy Star” in the market.

Where was the most likely place to have such a rare item?

That must be in the Treasure Alliance!

If he could obtain the Holy star, his B-grade Dream Star would be able to be upgraded again!
