Chapter 15: Purification of Chaos Corrosion_3

"Lord, where are we going?"

"Lord, look at this knife technique I just researched. I named it Moonlight Spin Dance Slash. How is it, Lord, isn't it cool?"

"Lord is cool!" Lin Rui replied affirmatively.

"Lord, you're cheating!"

Amid Audrey's chatter, Lin Rui arrived at the newly built Primary Trading Market.

This is a powerful blueprint structure that can irrationally open a teleportation gate and instantly transport items within the area.

Pay with one hand, receive goods with the other, fair and square, absolutely no swindling.

Lin Rui plans to see if he can snag some good deals. That's the greatest joy of auction houses and such places.

As soon as the market opened, a dazzling array of items quickly unfolded, the page densely expanding downwards, and the number of pages simply can't be displayed, the system directly prompts X. Clearly, worrying about the number of pages is meaningless, no one can flip through one by one.

It's truly astounding. Have so many Lords already built the Primary Trading Market?

However, considering the Azure Civilization, citizens from planets like Mars, Mercury, Moon Star have been swept into the Era of Civilization, it's not surprising. With many people, geniuses become ordinary. Even if one in a hundred establishes a territory, the scale is in the billions.

So strength is only temporary. Being handsome is a lifelong concern. There are so many geniuses, all exceptionally talented. Want to stand out? It's about who can win the Goddess of Fortune's favor. Clearly, Lin Rui is the Goddess's most favored treasure.

"This looks good, I want it, I want it, Lord. Buy it for me, please~" Audrey pressed herself against Lin Rui, tightly hugging his right arm, shaking coquettishly.

Lin Rui, helpless from her shaking, could only look where her pale fingers pointed — a black silk strap nightgown, priced at 999 Realm Coins!

Can't let women into the mall! As soon as they enter, they spend recklessly.

Lin Rui reluctantly clicked purchase.

In the next moment, a transparent teleportation gate opened, and a neatly folded black silk nightgown was transported over.

In the same area, in another territory, a chubby Lord, after reading the system prompt, instantly widened his eyes. 999! It's really sold!

This was an item he collected at the spider spirit camp, left in the tent, even the system ignored it during battle cleanup — of no value.

Adhering to the principle that anything sellable is placed on the trading market, even one penny counts, he brought it back to sell. Setting such a high price only to be near the front row, grabbing attention, helping big-wigs find his shop. He figured if anyone truly wanted it, they'd contact him for a deal. As long as the other party named a price, he'd let it go for 100 Realm Coins!

But the other party didn't even ask a question, just snapped it up with 999! He had a recruitment point for Ordinary Level troops in the territory, recruiting ten Harpies weekly. Recruitment fee is 300 Realm Coins each. After two days of hard monster fighting, alongside territory development, he painstakingly recruited 2, lost one during battle. And here, someone effortlessly slaps his face with three times that amount. How wealthy must one be to act like this?

With such a big leg to cling to, why wait to kneel and lick?

Face? Forget about it!

Can't let pride get in the way of money!

"Boss, boss, do you need other clothes? Long skirts, short skirts, leather pants, shorts, black silk, white silk, even corsets, whips — just say the word, I'll get them for you tomorrow, without sleep!"

Lin Rui glanced at the private message channel, starting to sweat — whether Dingji Laogu's Explorer Territory is near a women's clothing store or a group of enchanting demons? And whips, leather pants! Tight-fitting?

Why is it that near him are Beastmen, Roaring Beast Swarm, Chaos Fallen — all muscle-bound men — but elsewhere are spider spirits and enchanting demon ladies in black silk and white silk?

This is a dilemma.

That Lord shouldn't be called "Dingji Laogu," he should be "Lin Rui's Purse Hole!"

Lin Rui was just about to block him, when Audrey picked up the nightgown, sizing herself up, joyfully announcing, "Lord, I'll wear it for you tonight~ I'm quite a catch, you know."

"Ding~ You have added Lord Dingji Laogu as a friend."

Accidentally clicked!

But it doesn't matter whether to block or not.

Key is Lin Rui just likes watching the game.

Lin Rui politely declined Dingji's enthusiasm, saying he'd contact him if he needed anything, then he closed the chat window.

Dingji, who successfully gained a big-shot friend, was eager but knew not to rush, thus didn't continue pestering.

Finally managing to pacify Audrey, Lin Rui earnestly browsed through market goods.

Most are miscellaneous items Lords put up to make up the numbers, but there are also plenty of precious items.

For example, someone is seeking food with territory construction blueprints in exchange! There's lots of bartering, clearly food is in dire shortage — countless Lords buying without hesitation, crying out loud.

Primarily, food production is periodic, requiring monster kills for drop rewards for harvest.

But remember, not every Lord has Lin Rui's luck, nor has every Lord defeated the Magical Beast in their territory.

That task is only meant to test and strengthen the courage of newcomers, teaching them the harshness of the world. Lords start far from wild monsters, so as long as newcomers are shrewd enough to lure monsters away, they activate territory tasks.

Even Lin Rui rarely sees food, imagine other Lords' circumstances.
