After receiving the blessing of the Tree of Life, the ability to see in the dark helped the players a lot.
Even if they were far away from the Tree of Life's canopy, without any light source, their vision was still clear. However, it was not as colorful as on land.
It was gray and gloomy. After looking at it for a long time, it felt quite depressing.
Thinking about how the Sea Elves had lived in the dark sea for so many years, some players with strong empathy could not help but sigh. At the same time, they felt that the lousy game producers were too cruel.
There were originally at least tens of thousands of Sea Elves, but now there were only slightly more than 30 left. They had directly become endangered creatures. It was really tragic.
However, Lin Mu's movement in the sea was actually much safer than the other players because —
He was the only Metal Element Martial Artist in the ten-man team.
As long as he transformed into a weapon, he would be able to move freely in the sea.
Of course, he still had to be careful not to bump into the muzzle of the sea monsters. Otherwise, he would still be at risk of dying.
However, as long as he did not seek death, he was basically safe.
This also provided a new idea for everyone —
In the old view, it was generally believed that Mental Element Masters were more powerful than Martial Artists. In fact, this was indeed the case.
However, at the bottom of the sea, the two roles were instantly reversed. Elementalist Martial Artists were obviously much better at surviving than Mental Element Masters. They had more room to display their abilities.
In fact, as long as they maintained their transformed state, in theory, they did not need to use the Underwater Breathing Potion.
This was especially true for Water Element Martial Artists.
Since they could transform their bodies into water, they were like fish in water at the bottom of the sea. They could kill sea monsters invisibly!
Therefore, there were no trash professions in the game. The key was how they were used.
Unfortunately, the proportion of Martial Artists among the players was still relatively small.
The skills of Mental Element Masters were too cool. When they were powerful enough, they could even move mountains and seas. Therefore, most players were attracted to them. Only a small number of them chose to be Martial Artists.
In fact, it was also a novel experience to transform one's body into water, into fire, or even into a ray of light. It was just that one's combat power was slightly weaker.
Now, the Martial Artists finally found their home ground.
As long as the Guardian Circle was completed, the underwater map would be completely open to the players. It was believed that this would become the best hunting ground for Elementalist Martial Artists!
Lin Mu was looking forward to this.
Finally, he passed through the sea monsters and returned to the canopy of the Tree of Life.
As soon as he entered, he returned to his human body.
"Tugi."
The youth swam down from the tree branch. "Brother Lin, why are you back?"
"You want to sell the leaves of the Tree of Life?" Lin Mu went straight to the point.
"Yes." Grumpy Bunny nodded.
Lin Mu frowned. "Have you thought it through? The leaves of the Tree of Life are very precious, perhaps it will be very difficult for you to obtain them in the future. "
There would be no more main quests after completing them. The rewards were basically one-time use.
Now that the Sea Elves' development was on the right track, all that was left was to force the seawater in the Sea Elves' homeland to recede so that the Tree of Life would no longer be threatened by the sea beasts.
After completing this mission, Grumpy Little Bunny would be able to awaken and continue to level up like the blue mark.
The youth nodded. "Yes, I have two leaves. I want to sell one of them."
Lin Mu: "…"
Oh, right, he had forgotten that Grumpy Bunny was a child protected by the Goddess of Fortune.
In comparison, the blue mark was really miserable.
After bustling around for a while, there was no reward in the end.
At this moment, the young man blushed and said, "I've also contacted Sister Qing Yan, but she hasn't replied yet."
Lin Mu nodded, not surprised by this.
"How much are you planning to sell it for?" Lin Mu asked.
The leaves of the Tree of Life were undoubtedly very precious. They had many effects, but no one knew how much they were worth at this stage of the game.
Sure enough, Grumpy Little Bunny was not sure himself.
He took out a leaf that was emitting a faint blue light. This was given to him by the Sea Elves' Tree of Life as a reward for completing the main quest.
As for the other leaf of the Forest Elves, he did not plan to sell it.
That was a gift from the Forest Elf Queen herself, so it had a different meaning.
"The leaf of the Sea Elves' Tree of Life allows the player to breathe underwater, see in the dark, and speak underwater. Wearing this leaf allows the player to move freely underwater like the Sea Elves."
Grumpy Little Bunny looked at the description and explained to Lin Mu.
Although Lin Mu and the others had also received the Tree of Life's buff, the buff had a time limit. Moreover, it would be very difficult for them to complete another Epic Quest related to the Sea Elves.
Therefore, this leaf was very practical.
Moreover, the three abilities given by this leaf were not limited to the bottom of the sea. The range of application was much wider.
"Moreover, this leaf has a special connection with the Tree of Life. It can be used as a guide for underwater exploration, or a directional marker."
Grumpy Little Bunny continued.
"It is an important material for a certain legendary medicine."
"Like the other leaf, it can resist three lethal damage, which is equivalent to having three lives, and …"
He paused and said, "These three lives can be used on a single person or a group."
This skill was simply a powerful weapon in a group battle!
Although all the major mercenary groups were busy developing and large-scale group battles had not happened yet, such things were inevitable in the future.
How much damage could be saved with three lives?
Lin Mu found that he could not estimate.
Star Age had become the benchmark of the gaming world. No cheats, 99% realism, the only server, no top-up, and a relatively independent economic system in the game … Each of these was a powerful weapon, not to mention when combined together.
The only thing that limited the development of the game now was the production of gaming equipment.
When this problem was solved, everyone could predict what kind of explosive growth Star Age would usher in.
The economic benefits could also be fully imagined. And those who were lucky enough to get an advantage in the early stages would naturally continue to maintain this advantage at all costs!
This was a huge gamble, but after experiencing it personally, everyone was full of confidence in Star Age.
Lin Mu looked at the leaf in Grumpy Little Bunny's hand.
This leaf of the Sea Elves' Tree of Life, whether it was the current value or the future potential, was very good. There was probably no group that could refuse it.
Thinking of this, he could not help but look up at the Tree of Life.
The Tree of Life stood quietly in the sea. There were not many leaves left on its body, and the branches and vines were floating in the sea.
If the effect of these leaves spread … Lin Mu could imagine what those daring players would do.
He only hoped that they could keep their sanity. He did not want to become enemies with the Sea Elves.
And with the Roland Empire's protection of the Sea Elves, this kind of behavior would not be as simple as jail time.
Lin Mu shook his head and did not think about this anymore. He also forced himself to look away from the Tree of Life's leaf.
After all, it was also very tempting to him.
"Brother Lin, how much do you think these effects can sell for?" Grumpy Little Bunny asked.
"Are you short of money?"
Lin Mu looked at him and asked.
The young man was quiet for a moment and then showed a shy smile. "A little. Besides, who doesn't like money?"
Lin Mu thought for a moment and said, "Did Qingyan reply to you?"
"Not yet."
"How many people did you contact in total?"
"Just you and Sister Yan."
The young man's face was pure and trusting. Lin Mu could not do anything to trick him. He rubbed his chin and thought for a while and said, "If you want to sell it at a high price, I suggest you hold an auction."
"Auction?"
"Yes." Lin Mu nodded. "I can help you contact some people. I know some players who have too much money to spend."
They were the real tycoons. Their monthly allowance was probably in the millions. As long as they had fun, they did not care about how much they spent.
For example, in the previous special clothing collection mission, someone had already sold half of the blueprints. Just the Mythical Equipment Set alone had already collected two sets.
This player had relied on this series of achievement rewards to push his level up to the top 30 of the leaderboard.
That was terrifying!
No one knew how many boxes of clothing she had opened and how much money she had spent. Just thinking about it was a number that made people look up to her.
Coincidentally, Lin Mu had a friend.
Looking at Grumpy Little Bunny, he could not help but say, "The more people who bid, the better. But I don't recommend a public auction."
"Money moves people's hearts. If too many people know about this, it will not only affect your own safety …"
He looked at the Tree of Life. "The land of the Sea Elves will not be peaceful."
Grumpy Little Bunny was stunned. He looked up at the big tree above his head.
He was not an idiot. After being reminded by Lin Mu, he understood. The young man's eyes flashed with hesitation, but he restrained himself in the end.
He lowered his eyes and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Lin."
Lin Mu agreed and quickly helped Grumpy Little Bunny organize the auction.
He only invited a total of 15 people. Although the number was small, every one of them was a person who spent a lot of money. Of course, this included Qingyan.
After Qingyan found out, she gritted her teeth.
If it was just her and Lin Mu's families competing, the possibility of her winning this leaf was still very high. But now … it was basically hopeless.
However, even if she was unwilling, she did not persuade Grumpy Little Bunny.
After all, an auction was indeed a way to obtain the most benefits. As a friend, she could not cheat him.
In the end, the leaf of the Sea Elves' Tree of Life was sold at a price of 5,000,000. The winner was not the leader of any guild, but the rich player who worked hard to collect the entire book.
She wore a gorgeous mythical suit and appeared on stage. Coupled with her cold expression, she was as noble and cold as a real goddess.
However, what made everyone want to vomit blood was that she did not buy this leaf because she was interested in the underwater world. It was only because —
This leaf of the Tree of Life was one of the materials to make the Sea God set!
Moreover, she also wanted to buy Grumpy Little Bunny's other leaf. She guessed that it was a material to make the Goddess of Nature set. Although she did not have the blueprint yet, since she encountered it, she would keep it first.
Grumpy Little Bunny resisted the temptation in the end and rejected it.
Coincidentally, his anti-addiction time was up, so he took the opportunity to go offline. This time, he did not do any more questions.
The door of the game cabin opened. The young man sat up in the nutrition cabin. His face was sickly pale.
He raised his skinny arm, grabbed the handle, and struggled to get up. At this time, the door opened and a middle-aged man hurriedly walked in from outside.
"Xiao Yi, why didn't you call me if you wanted to come out?"
He carried the young man out of the game cabin and gently placed him on the bed next to him.
"How are you? Do you want some water? "
The young man coughed violently. Looking at the man's worried expression, he shook his head and comforted him, "Dad, I'm fine."
The man sighed and looked back at the game cabin next to him. His expression was conflicted and painful.
The young man saw that something was wrong with him.
"Dad?"
The man wiped his face hard. His eyes were a little red. "We don't have enough money for treatment … We need to sell the game cabin …"
This game cabin was obtained for free during the first beta test.
At that time, the young man was diagnosed with a terminal illness and was suspended from school to receive treatment in the hospital. After the game company found out, they did not take back the game cabin.
It was not until his condition stabilized that he entered the Star Age. At this time, the public beta test had already begun.
"I know you like this game very much, but …" The man took a deep breath and his voice was a little choked.
"Our family can't take it anymore …"
"Now, a game cabin can be sold for five or six hundred thousand. Let's sell it. This way, we can at least hold on for a while … I'm sorry, Xiao Yi. Dad is useless …"
Just as the man was about to break down, the young man held his hand. His small hand was thin and pale, but it was so firm.
"Dad, you don't have to be sorry."
He had a smile on his face, but his eyes were shining with tears. "I have money now. I don't need to sell the game cabin."
