Tang Ling's way of thinking was definitely going to get beaten up. Every time he bought something, he wanted to have a little bit of luck? In the long run, when Tang Ling met Tang Long again, he would probably tell him that his dream in life would be to be like the male protagonist in the current civilization.
Of course, Tang Ling's way of thinking was going to get beaten up. Nevertheless, he was still reliable.
He booked more than 50 rooms in different hotels on Sochi Island and spent a few hundred True Capital Coins. Then, he asked the people in the shops to send the skeletons to these places. Finally, he sent some of them to the ship he bought.
With that, at least the market would not have a rumor that someone spent 200,000 True Capital coins to buy the bones of a low-tier vicious beast.
Even according to the trading volume of Sochi's black market, 200,000 True Capital coins was nothing.
However, a single spark could start a prairie fire. Those who did not pay attention to the details would eventually fall because of the details. It was also one of Tang Ling's motto.
After buying all the bones, Tang Ling was left with a little over 200,000 True Capital coins. He did not know that 500,000 True Capital coins could be spent so casually.
Tang Ling was frustrated, but should he stop his' buy, buy, buy 'rhythm? Never!
While he was lamenting about how he spent money like water, he arrived at a trading area that felt like a huge mine.
That's right, the main topic of the trading area was simple: the trading of all kinds of minerals.
Tang Ling's goal was also simple: to buy three pieces of superalloy. Theoretically, all three elements of superalloy were suitable for metal, fire, and earth.
However, based on the current situation, Tang Ling wanted three pieces of metal alloy.
That's right, Tang Ling's goal this time was to upgrade the Blood Bulrush Sword.
He remembered Boss Huang mentioning that in order to restore the Blood Bulrush Sword to its former glory, he would need at least three more pieces of superalloy.
If he wanted to restore the sword to its perfect form, he would need 10 more pieces of superalloy.
If he wanted to restore the Blood Bulrush Sword to its original form, which was a Level 8 vicious plant, he would need at least 100 pieces of superalloy.
Tang Ling did not even consider the last option. Even if he spent all his money, he would not be able to achieve that goal. Even if he did achieve that goal, would he be able to control a Level 8 vicious plant? What a joke!
Tang Ling originally had the ambition to restore the Blood Bulrush Sword to its perfect form, but he was short on money, so he had to restore the sword to its prime form first.
Since there was still room for the sword to be upgraded in the future, he had to choose the attribute that he needed the most.
What was the most important attribute? Of course, it was the metal element. Its biggest use in the early stages was its sharpness, and the sharpness would allow it to break through defense, which was the most practical option for Tang Ling.
After he decided on his target, he did not waste any more time. After a quick selection, he picked three pieces of metal element superalloy the size of his fist.
Although superalloys had always been a precious resource, they were not rare in the black market. As long as one had the money, one could pick a suitable one at any time.
Superalloys were not classified by grade, only by purity.
The purity of the superalloy was around 60%, so it was considered above average. It was more than enough to repair the Blood Bulrush Sword.
As for the cost, Tang Ling's heart was bleeding because 37,000 True Capital coins said goodbye to him again.
However, this was not the final cost of upgrading the Blood Bulrush Sword. After obtaining the superalloy, he still needed a blacksmith to fuse it and upgrade it.
If Boss Huang was here, he would surely think of a way to blackmail him into working for free.
However, Boss Huang was not around, so all Tang Ling could do was spend the money.
The cost was much more expensive than he expected. He only provided the materials to upgrade the Blood Bulrush Sword, and if he wanted a blacksmith with a 100% guarantee, he would have to pay 5,000 True Capital coins.
Of course, he would have to be 100% confident. Tang Ling would not ruin the big picture just for the sake of petty gains. He could not afford to lose the materials.
Therefore, 5,000 True Capital coins said goodbye to Tang Ling in tears.
"A blacksmith has refined this sword before. It's much easier to fuse it again. Otherwise, 5,000 True Capital coins wouldn't be enough for me. I'll charge you at least 20,000 True Capital coins. Come back in three hours to pick up the sword, "the great blacksmith told Tang Ling.
Tang Ling was surprised. Boss Huang's sword was worth that much money? When Tang Ling understood the concept, the first thing he felt was not gratitude but regret. Why did he not ask Boss Huang to help him a few more times?
Tang Ling felt like he was on the losing end.
He had bought most of the things he needed to buy. Tang Ling was in an awkward situation at the moment. No matter how many resources he absorbed, it would only serve as a preparation for his future advancement. It would not increase his strength at all.
In order to forcefully increase his combat strength, he had to start with the war seeds and weapons. He also had to rely on external items.
All of these were things that he needed to buy.
That was what he needed to buy, but there was another important part of his plan that he had to implement, so he had to spend the money.
Tang Ling then went to a mysterious place in Sochi's black market. Even the light was a lot dimmer than the other places — the information trading market.
After he came out, he spent another 50,000 True Capital coins with a wave of his hand.
The money did not get him anything substantial, but he felt like 50,000 True Capital coins were enough to achieve the desired effect, so it was considered decent enough.
The money was well spent.
Half a day ago, Tang Ling still had 580,000 True Capital coins, but now, he only had 122,600 True Capital coins left.
He did not forget that he had spent more than 300 True Capital coins to rent a room.
Only then would the money be considered as money that Tang Ling could freely use, but at the same time, the money would still be spent.
Tang Ling planned to keep some spare change for his daily expenses after he got out of the black market.
Another four hours had passed.
Tang Ling had five more combat skills in his hand, but unfortunately, none of them were written by any master combat skills, let alone Luca's.
However, all five of them were very practical and would usually be used by most Purple Moon Warriors.
On top of that, all five of them shared the same type of combat skill, which was the footwork combat skill.
The footwork combat skill could slightly increase the dodging rate and speed of the user through the footwork. Of course, two of the combat skills came with ultimate moves, but the ultimate moves did not increase the user's speed. Instead, they only interfered with the enemy's vision to achieve a certain effect.
With the money that Tang Ling had left, he could buy better combat skills. However, he knew better than to bite off more than he could chew. Moreover, a good combat skill required time to master, and Tang Ling did not have the time to do so.
Other than the combat skills, Tang Ling also bought 5,000 units of Universal Source Stone, energy liquid that could directly increase his energy storage, and some other miscellaneous items that he thought would be useful.
After spending 580,000 True Capital coins, he was left with less than 5,000 True Capital coins. Plus the spare change that Tang Ling left behind, he had a total of more than 7,000 True Capital coins.
Looking at the balance of the storage badge that the Sochi black market specially prepared for him, Tang Ling was a little dazed. In less than a day, did he really go from a rich man to a poor man? And if I remember correctly, he still owes me a huge sum of 870,000 yuan? What did he buy?
Tang Ling's head felt empty. So, this is what it feels like to shop recklessly?
Having said that, he was almost done with his preparations, so it was time for him to leave the Sochi black market.
**
A day later.
On an island belonging to the Poseidon family, a black ship stealthily entered the island's only port before nightfall.
It wasn't until the black warship stopped and the side of the black warship reflected the light of the setting sun that you realized that this ship wasn't completely black. There were many stars on the black base paint.
Looking at the design of the ship, anyone with a bit of knowledge would know that the ship belonged to the Stardust Council.
Bibilly Kerry was standing at the port, looking at the small ship eagerly.
The reinforcements from the Stardust Council that he had been waiting for had finally arrived. The first to arrive were the young geniuses of the Zhan cohort, the true core of the Stardust Council.
After the ship stopped, a young man appeared at the bow of the ship. He glanced at Bibilly Kerry, then jumped off the ship and landed steadily on the dock.
The young man was not eye-catching, but he was dressed in a wild and unrestrained manner. His black leather coat was wrapped in chains and the buttons were unbuttoned, revealing his chest.
"Elder, is Zhan Five dead?" After he got off the ship, he walked up to Bibilly Kerry and gave him a perfunctory salute.
Even though he addressed the elder as elder, his tone was not respectful at all.
However, Bibilly Kerry did not mind. The young man with the spiky silver hair was Zhan Nine, one of the best of the Zhan cohort.
If Zhan One was undoubtedly at the top, then Zhan Nine was undoubtedly one of the few in the first echelon.
He was wild but not arrogant or stupid. Instead, he had an unfathomable mystery to him.
A young man like Zhan Nine would become the mainstay of the Stardust Council in a few more years. How old would he be compared to Bibilly Kerry? Why would Zhan Nine be calculative with him?
"Yes, he's dead. It is absolutely true. "Bibilly Kelly showed just the right amount of sadness and heaviness.
As the two of them spoke, a dozen young men walked down the ship one after another. All of them were undoubtedly the young geniuses of the Zhan cohort.
Perhaps these young men had their own personalities. They did not wear the uniform of the Stardust Council. Instead, they wore their own unique clothes. After they got off the ship, they did not gather together. Some of them were alone while others were in groups of three to five.
However, when they heard the conversation between Bibilly Kerry and Zhan Nine, they all looked at each other in unison.
"Idiot." After hearing Bibilly Kerry's answer, Zhan Nine shook the chains on his body and looked at Bibilly Kerry. "I'm not talking about the elder. I'm talking about Zhan Five. Although he's the weakest among us, dying like this is a disgrace to the Zhan cohort. "
"Tang Ling is not as simple as he looks." Bibilly Kerry lowered his eyes.
"Hmph." A dagger suddenly popped out from the end of Zhan Nine's chain. He took the dagger and licked the blade with his tongue. Then, he smiled disdainfully and said, "I'm going to kill him now."
"Zhan Nine, don't be impulsive. According to the order, you all need to rest here for a day. Replenish some things and I won't restrict your freedom for the rest of your actions. "Bibilly Kerry pointed at the island behind him.
Zhan Nine was noncommittal. He did not mention that he was going to kill Tang Ling now either. Instead, he looked behind Bibilly Kerry.
Behind him was a huge place surrounded by a white curtain. It looked like a tent, but it did not have a roof like a tent.
Zhan Nine looked at the place, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. The air that originally carried the unique fishy smell of the sea seemed to have been smelled by him. After he opened his eyes, he stuck his tongue out and licked the corner of his mouth.
At that moment, a young man who looked extremely calm walked over.
His silver hair was neatly combed behind his ears, clean and tidy. Even in such a strong sea breeze, his hair was not messed up at all.
He was wearing a standard uniform. Although it was not a formal suit, all the buttons were buttoned up meticulously. There was not even a crease on his body.
When he saw the young man walk towards him, Bibilly Kelly's eyes showed a sense of respect. It was not the attitude a senior should have toward a junior, nor was it the emotion a rank 5 Purple Moon Warrior should have toward a soon-to-be Purple Moon Warrior.
However, that was what Bibilly Kerry did. Before the young man greeted him, he greeted him attentively, "Young Master Seven."
Bibilly Kerry addressed the other members of the Zhan generation directly by their names. He was even a little arrogant toward Zhan Five, but he did not shy away from addressing Zhan Seven as Young Master Seven.
As for the other members of the Zhan generation, they did not have any objections. Only Zhan Nine sneered meaningfully.
However, both Zhan Seven and Bibilly Kerry ignored him.
"Elder." Compared to Zhan Nine, Zhan Seven's etiquette was not a problem.
This made Bibilly Kerry very happy. After saluting, Zhan Seven said, "Elder, thank you for preparing the supplies. The situation at sea is a little special, so I still need you to continue to work hard on the supplies. "
"No problem." While speaking, Bibilly took out a palm-sized instrument and pressed it a few times. The instrument directly projected a nautical map, and a few islands were highlighted on the map.
"These islands are specially allocated to the Stardust Council by the Poseidon family. These islands are the same as the one you see now, with fresh water and food resources. If nothing goes wrong, these islands will become the long-term base of the Stardust Council. "Bibilly Kerry was a little proud, but his attitude was like a subordinate taking credit for his superior.
"Elder, you've done a very good job." Zhan Seven's attitude was very humble. "In other words, we'll get supplies on these islands?"
"Of course. I fought for these islands first to cooperate with your voyage to fight for resources this time. Look, these islands are all around the sea where resources will appear. " Bibilly Kerry explained to Zhan Seven very patiently, "The main force will arrive in two days. Their first task is to build a supply station for you."
At this time, a Zhan generation youth interrupted and asked, "Does that mean we may also be stationed at sea in the future?"
Zhan Seven just glanced at the youth indifferently, and the youth was immediately stunned. Then, cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he quickly said, "Young Master Seven, I'm being rude. I'm just curious, and I won't make mistakes again. "
Zhan Seven retracted his gaze without saying anything.
However, Bibili Kerry acted as if he had not seen anything and directly explained to Zhan VII, "You will occasionally stay at sea because compared with the land, the sea has its own special resources, and many of them are even richer than the land. More importantly, there's also the Tear of Neptune. "
"Hmm, the Tear of Neptune. That's a resource that must be fought for. What did the Poseidon family say? "Zhan Seven asked.
Bibilly Kerry showed an embarrassed expression. "The Dolgos promised to give a certain amount of Tear of Neptune, but only after Tang Ling is killed."
"Hmm, that's reasonable." Zhan Seven pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up and said lightly, "Tang Ling is also dying, but it will happen in a few days."
"Zhan Seven, I'd like to know which of us will kill Tang Ling. I want to act alone. Don't try to restrain me, "Zhan Nine suddenly interrupted at this time.
Zhan Seven did not look at Zhan Nine like that. Instead, he said coldly, "It's Zhan One's privilege not to be restrained. Maybe you should ask Zhan One's opinion?"
At the mention of Zhan One, Zhan Seven's expression changed, but he quickly replied, "Zhan One is here, so I will naturally ask him. But you don't have to use his connections to intimidate others, do you? "
"It's up to you." Zhan Seven did not have any emotions at all. Even though Zhan Nine directly said that he was using his connections to intimidate others, his eyes did not even change.
"Forget it. I'm too lazy to talk to an ice cube like you." Zhan Jiu scratched his hair and went from squatting to standing. Then, he pulled off the chain wrapped around his body and took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body. With a shake of his hand, the chain wrapped around his arms like a pair of armors.
"Elder, you've prepared the supplies. Is it boiling? I'll go first. After sailing for a few days, I'm dying of thirst, "he said as he walked towards the white cloth tent.
Zhan Nine moved first, and the remaining 11 silver-haired boys also walked towards the white cloth tent.
Zhan Seven was not so anxious. He just looked at Bibilly Kerry and asked, "Is it fresh?"
"It's a matter of course," Bibilly Kerry answered immediately.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Elder." At this moment, Zhan Seven, who had been cold all this time, showed a trace of greed and hunger, but it was only for a moment. He nodded at Bibilly Kerry and walked towards the white cloth tent.
When Zhan Seven left, Bibilly Kerry suddenly heaved a long sigh of relief as if he was away from an extremely stressful environment.
He was a Rank 5 Purple Moon Warrior, but he was suppressed by a quasi-Purple Moon Warrior. It sounded like a fantasy story and very ridiculous.
However, Bibilly Kerry did not find it ridiculous at all. Indeed, with Zhan Seven's form, even a hundred of him would not be a match for him.
But what about his real body? Bibili Kerry shuddered. Two years. At most two years, his real body would become very terrifying.
