Chapter 191 - 191: Harvest of Trades, Arrival of Irona
The entire trading event lasted for three days.
Every day, the deck was packed with a large number of players from King Kong Island, coming from all over the island to participate.
Among them, I_Love_Black_Stockings, who was engaged in ferry business, also made a fortune from this event.
Over the three days, she ferried thousands of players and collected thousands of boat tickets, instantly transforming from a pauper to a wealthy woman, smiling even in her sleep.
Meanwhile, it was unclear who leaked the news that Ji Chen spent nearly 100,000 gold coins on purchases on the first day of the event.
Another player, who personally experienced the transactions but preferred to remain anonymous, posted a picture of several boxes filled with gold coins, igniting even more excitement about the event.
In no time, the name “Islander” gained even more fame.
Previously, it was because of his powerful strength and formidable fleet, but now he was also renowned for his outrageous wealth.
“You guys say that the Islander spent 100,000 gold coins in a single day? That’s just insane! My total assets are only 1,000 gold coins, and he spent a hundred times more in just one day! The gap between people is just so huge.”
“At least you still have 1,000 gold coins. I only have a few dozen, struggling to make ends meet…”
“100,000 gold coins!!! I could never earn that much in my entire life. The Islander is truly incredible! Is there any chance he needs a follower? I’m willing to be his little brother! I’ll go to the ends of the earth to find him if he gives the word!!”
“Islander, I’m begging to be kept as your lover. I’m 1.7 meters tall, fair-skinned, long legs, and 36D. My white stockings are to die for! Please PM me-”
Such comments flooded the chat channel and forums, and Ji Chen’s private messages were about to explode.
When Ji Chen had just finished dealing with his affairs and opened the chat channel and forums with a puzzled expression, he saw this scene and couldn’t help but frown.
“These people are thinking of mooching off others instead of working hard. How shameless!”
Furthermore, apart from this, was he the type of individual who would keep a lover?
He must properly criticize these people who want something for nothing!
But he would first note down the name of the one with the 36D bust and long legs in white stockings…
Anyway.
The King Kong Island players who received this news had been waiting for these few days like desperate women in a secluded backyard, hoping that Ji Chen would purchase their items, and they could become overnight millionaires like those lucky few.
Seeing this, Ji Chen seized the opportunity to increase the intensity of his purchases, focusing on military recruitment camp cores, treasures, and building blueprints.
The number of marine unit types was estimated to be in the tens of millions, and Ji Chen’s target of acquiring Naga Warriors, Murlocs, and several other main unit types were just a few inconspicuous ones among them. It was undoubtedly a challenging task to find specific ones from such a vast array of unit types.
Even if players possessed such unit types, the difficulty of acquiring the same type of military recruitment camp cores from each other was high due to geographical barriers and limited information flow.
However, thanks to the publicity of Ji Chen’s rapidly growing fame and his unquestionable financial ability, quite a few players from King Kong Island came forward to sell these scattered military recruitment camp cores to him.
This approach proved to be much more efficient than him searching all over the place himself.
Of course, he didn’t need to personally handle the purchase of these scattered military recruitment camp cores. Together with some regular building blueprints, l_Love_Black_Stockings acted as his representative in the transactions.
At this moment, there was no one around him who was more suitable to negotiate with players.
Raymond had led a team to the Northern Continent, so he was not available.
Alice, as a Siren, was not familiar with human coin transactions, and Benbo, a Murloc, was naturally not suitable either.
As for Anina, it was needless to say, letting her engage in trade with cunning players might even lead to her revealing her underwear color unintentionally.
Having cooperated with I_Love_Black_Stockings several times already and established a certain level of trust, Ji Chen found it natural to let her handle these matters.
He harbored little concern about her resorting to deceitful tactics, as he trusted that this astute woman wouldn’t engage in actions that offered less while sacrificing more.
After three days of purchases, the harvest was quite abundant.
First, the military recruitment camp cores.
After acquiring eight military recruitment camp cores on the first day, he managed to buy another batch through the lavish spending.
With this new batch combined with the previous ones, he now possessed a total of nine Naga Warrior cores, nine River Murloc cores, and five Sea Pixie cores.
In addition to that, he also acquired four Lobster Rider cores and five
Self-Detonating Water Spider cores, which he purchased from l_Love_Black_Stockings. In total, he had ten Lobster Rider cores and ten Self-Detonating Water Spider cores.
Upon returning to his territory, he could now construct dozens of recruitment camps all at once, recruiting hundreds of units with this batch of military recruitment camp cores.
A surge of strength!
In addition to the Amplifying Staff, Ji Chen also spent fifty thousand gold coins and twenty-five thousand gold coins respectively to acquire two other treasures.
The first one was a bracelet made of green crystal, intricately carved with distinct edges and a unique style. Intricate magical patterns were engraved on the inside, and strands of golden energy flowed within it, making it quite extraordinary..
