Did it have to be so scary?
He looked at the elemental crystal in the hands of the water elemental sprite.
It was such a small crystal.
Was he going to explode with just one bite?
"That …"
"Brother Shui is telling the truth."
The wind elemental sprite pursed her lips and reminded him.
"We reached your limit half a month ago. During this time, we didn't even absorb it naturally. We've been releasing elemental power."
"Huh?"
Half a month?!
Ye Zichen looked at the elemental fairies in shock.
They hadn't eaten any crystals for half a month?
But his own money was being spent on purchases every day.
"Bailey."
"Don't look for me, I'm an optical brain, I can't take anything," Bei Li guessed what Ye Zichen was going to say, so he directly cut it off.
"That … We didn't eat it, but we kept the crystals you gave us," the Wind Elemental Sprite said, giggling.
"…"
What a great job!
In order to replenish the consumption of elemental spirits.
Every day, Ye Zichen couldn't say that he couldn't make ends meet, but he didn't leave anything behind.
The operation of the city required money.
He needed money to buy elemental crystals.
Elemental Phoenixes needed resources and money.
If the elemental spirits couldn't be absorbed, then just say so. That way, Ye Zichen could let out a long sigh.
Unfortunately …
He couldn't blame these little fellows.
He knew very well that these little fellows were afraid of poverty.
She had followed Ye Zichen for so long, but she had never known what elemental crystals were. Her previous strength was all due to the condensation of elemental energy bit by bit. Now that they finally had elemental crystals, even if they couldn't absorb them now, they would definitely be able to absorb them in the future. Of course, they wouldn't give up.
This was like a person who had starved for half his life …
After one day of sudden success, the refrigerator at home would always be filled with food.
Even if it was broken and thrown away, he still wanted to fill a refrigerator.
Not to eat!
It was purely to give himself a sense of security, to make up for the shadow in his heart.
"Why don't we not do it anymore?" The wind elemental fairy muttered. Ye Zichen couldn't help but caress her cheeks with a smile when he saw her look of fear and reluctance. "No need, I'll give you back what you deserve."
"But we can't absorb it now," the wind elemental sprite said.
"This is not easy to deal with."
The reason the elemental fairies were unable to improve was because Ye Zichen's own elemental resistance was insufficient, causing his body to reach its limit. The elemental fairies had no choice but to stop absorbing and disperse the elements.
This might have been a problem for other people.
To improve one's physique, one had to accumulate it over a long period of time, and the other was to improve one's genes.
In the first universe, raw stones that could enhance one's genes were ridiculously expensive, and the effects of buying them weren't that significant.
This was indeed a vexing problem.
But for Ye Zichen …
It didn't exist at all!
It was just a small problem.
He clicked on his friend list.
Ye Zichen found Atana, whom he hadn't contacted for a long time.
"Come out."
The moment the message was sent, Atana replied within seconds.
"Boss!"
"How sturdy are the rune stones and rune stone fragments?!"
"We're just waiting for you to pick up the goods."
Ata instantly replied. During this period of time, Ye Zichen had not stopped purchasing rune stone fragments and mines in order to increase his strength significantly.
Especially after Chaos City had gained an absolute position.
The purchase of rune stone mines had already begun to spread to other villages, and the efficiency of the purchase was much faster than before.
Ye Zichen didn't send anyone to attack them.
Ye Zichen didn't send anyone to attack. He'd always felt that a true dictatorship wasn't the best decision. Taking control of all resources in one's own hands might actually backfire on them.
If he ate the meat, then he had to leave the soup for others.
Ye Zichen also sent Chicano to purchase the villages that had rune stone mines.
He couldn't just buy all of them for himself.
He needed at least sixty percent of them.
All the unappraised rune stones that he bought were all handed over to Atana to deal with.
Several months later.
He had already stored a huge amount of rune stones and rune stone fragments.
"Boss, do you need them? I'll send them to you right now," Atana quickly replied. He had already opened a shop in Chaos City, so it wouldn't take him too long to get to the City Lord's manor.
He was also in a hurry to hand over the rune stones.
Seriously …
The rune stones were too tempting for him!
During the past few months, he had thought about selling the rune stones more than once. However, when he thought about the possibility of being hunted down in the future, and the fact that working with Ye Zichen in the long term was definitely more practical than selling them, he resisted the terrible thought.
Even so …
No one would be able to accept having a mountain of gold in front of them that they couldn't take.
What's more, Atana was a gambler.
The temptation of money was countless times stronger than other people's.
Since he was able to endure it for so long, it was clear that he was very interested in Ye Zichen.
"Where are you sending them to?"
"The City Lord's manor!"
"I'm not there anymore." Ye Zichen's expression darkened when he saw Atana's reply. No matter what, Atana was one of his trusted subordinates, and one of his subordinates rather early on. Atana was even wanted by the village for Ye Zichen's sake. Yet, Atana didn't even know that Ye Zichen had left the city for nearly half a month.
"Oh, oh, then you mean …"
"Send these rune stones to me. There's a post office in our town, right?"
"There is, but the postage …"
"I'll pay!"
"And the errand fees."
"I'll pay!"
"And that …"
"Do you want to die?"
Ye Zichen typed out a few words when he saw Atana's endless messages.
"Ahem, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to say, can we settle the fees?" Atana replied.
"Go find Chicano."
"Alright."
In less than half a minute, Ye Zichen, who was sitting in his room, received a message.
"Boss, check it. If there's no problem, then I'm going to go and get the money from Chicano."
"Go!" Ye Zichen replied, then couldn't help but remind him. "Don't gamble anymore. That place is a bottomless pit. No matter how much money you have, it will definitely end up in their hands."
"Hehe, I know …"
Ye Zichen knew that Atana definitely didn't take his words to heart when he saw his reply.
Ye Zichen let out a long sigh.
Ye Zichen couldn't be bothered to remind him anymore.
He clicked on the email.
Only then did he notice that there wasn't just one email that Atana sent him.
There were a total of two hundred emails.
They filled up his inbox.
"Does the amount have to be so ridiculous?"
Ye Zichen pursed his lips and looked at the attachment, then looked down at the other emails that filled up his inbox.
It seems like …
I'm really going to get a huge increase this time!
