I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 836 - 835. The Lucky One to Return
Chapter 836: 835. The Lucky One to Return
The hundred Chosen traversed into the otherworldly realms, and it has been a full six months.
These elites from Blue Star should have excelled after six months; if not, they would be simply beyond help.
Thus, Lu Yao, wielding the "Space-Time Token," issued a "mandatory return after 24 hours" command.
The return of these Chosen to Blue Star would serve as the best promotion, drawing in more factions and individuals to join the game.
Additionally, Lu Yao also brought the "Marketplace of All Realms" feature online, and stocking the marketplace was an easy task.
He extracted massive quantities of metallic ores from the Spirit Domain, with a simple touch transforming them into forged metal ingots by automation.
Metals born in the Immortal Realm, with intrinsic exceptional quality, became even more incredibly tough when forged by the World Force, surpassing all alloys.
But that was not all. Lu Yao further purified these metals with his overwhelming Divine Thought, elevating them to the transcendental and worldly-detached "Divine Gold," capable of perfectly integrating with extraordinary forces.
Equipment fashioned from such metal was highly conducive and communicative to both bodily True Qi and the power of Mind Force.
Such gear would be handily advantageous even for a Golden Body Realm Grandmaster, and for the Chosen, it was equivalent to god-tier equipment.
Then, Lu Yao listed several unimaginable "Super Treasures" in the marketplace, including Spirit Fruits that would greatly benefit Grandmasters if consumed!
These items were bound to be exorbitantly priced, but their "equipment grade" was indeed exceptional.
This was precisely Lu Yao’s intention, to only offer high-end, costly goods in the market from the start, establishing the "brand image."
Having finished all this, just in time, Lu Yao turned his attention to the Chosen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Upon receiving the 24-hour return notice, Wang Guowei’s team was the first to assemble.
Every member of the team had reached the Organ Refining stage. They had also compiled a wealth of intelligence: topography, cultural customs, general Cultivation knowledge...they had it all.
Especially key was information on Spirit Refinement, this profoundly mystical Cultivation method which would be brought back to Xia Country for thorough research by various experts.
And the two old lovers—Li Lei and Sanna—had also achieved the Organ Refining stage.
However, it was quite normal to have such gains in the Yan Huang Realm, which was created to give preference to their own people.
Most astounding of all was Mark!
This former trash-scavenging lowly slave toiled in the junkyard, but now four burly men were kneeling before him, begging and sobbing for mercy, faces streaming with snot and tears.
These four men were the gangsters who had bombed Morris using a rigged giant clam and then captured Mark!
70% of Mark’s body had been fitted with prosthetic parts that he modified himself.
His entire framework of mechanical bones and the red glow from his electronic eye made him resemble a "Terminator."
As the gangsters looked on in sheer terror, Mark’s impatience showed briefly on his face, and a searing laser shot forth from his left eye, slicing across.
The four hulks froze on the spot, with a faint red line of high temperature appearing on their necks as their heads slowly parted ways from their bodies!
These men who didn’t even fear bullets were all dead in the blink of an eye!
Although the Tianyuan Realm was extremely challenging, the rewards were also immense.
Armed with high-tech weapons, Mark could even kill those in the Innate Realm! In terms of combat prowess alone, he was arguably the most outstanding among the Chosen.
Even Lu Yao couldn’t help but nod repeatedly in approval:
"This individual is quite remarkable. We should pay special attention to him; he is bound to provide much entertainment."
Unfortunately, Mark’s struggles and transformation were merely a source of amusement in Lu Yao’s eyes.
Moreover, although the Tianyuan Realm had a high starting point, it lacked sustainability, and reaching the pinnacle was merely equivalent to being an oversized "Tao Lord."
~~~~~~~~~
After half a year of silence, Blue Star finally welcomed another round of fervor!
On this day, the lucky ones who traversed to different worlds suddenly returned!
And they, indeed, brought back extraordinary powers!
Let’s not even mention Mark’s Terminator-like appearance; others too practiced the extraordinary powers of their respective worlds, each with their own distinct features.
Among them, the most conspicuous was the contestant from Tianzhu, who actually brought back a "Red Dragon".
Fierce claws, huge wings, fiery red horns and scales... It was basically just a big lizard with wings.
Yet, the entire nation of Tianzhu was truly jubilant, as various media outlets unabashedly boasted in their reports:
[Our hero Abinan has, with his personality and charm, tamed a divine beast and forged an eternal soulmate bond! The blazing flames that could melt steel will prove the rise of Tianzhu!]
Regarding this, many citizens eagerly asked:
"By soulmate... do you mean spouses? But your Red Dragon is male, clearly it has a ’handle’!"
"Yeah, Abinan is also male, how did they become soulmates?"
"Isn’t this taste a bit heavy?"
All kinds of opinions and noises burst forth, creating quite a lively scene.
...
But at this moment, The Chosen were too preoccupied with other matters, all studying the newly launched "Marketplace" feature with the help of their think tanks.
This was essentially a "shopping website," but with much more complex functionalities.
Their gazes were immediately drawn to the "Marketplace Select" section, and upon closer inspection, everyone gasped in shock.
"Ancient Gold Giant! Price: 1 billion points!!!!"
"Is it that golden giant in the geostationary orbit? You can actually buy it!"
After obtaining extraordinary powers, these people could directly observe Lu Yao’s set up Golden Statues with their naked eyes, without any auxiliary tools.
This magnificent entity, brimming with an ancient, unchanging, and indifferent will, roamed the skies.
Anyone who made eye contact with the Golden Statue was startled in their heart!
In Mark’s field of view, his smart brain was alerting him like crazy, popping up one red exclamation mark after another! Warning him that this enemy was definitely unbeatable!
Everyone quickly looked away, realizing they couldn’t afford it anyway, and turned their attention to the cheaper items in the Marketplace.
"Divine Gold... 1 million points/kg!!! If turned into equipment by the Marketplace, an additional 30% processing fee is charged!?"
"Vermilion Fruit... Increases 20 years of cultivation... 500,000 points!!!"
"The items in this Marketplace are good, but they’re also way too expensive! Who can afford these!"
Some tried exchanging treasures they got from different worlds to the Marketplace, and Wang Guowei sold some impure soil, only to get 1000 points in return.
A bunch of people complained about not being able to afford anything, but quickly found something within their reach:
"The Marketplace can also strengthen... each time for 100,000 points!"
"Space-Time Tokens can also be purchased, these only need 10,000 points!"
Many were tempted by the latter.
These elites from Blue Star had made some gains, and after much deliberation, they could still come up with 10,000 points.
But just then, Lu Yao’s social media account updated with a new status:
[Welcome to Myriad Realms Paradise. Those unwilling to be ordinary, let your souls surge, one thousand "Space-Time Tokens" await your claim]
The moment this message was released, the entire planet exploded with excitement!
