Floating Island - Triple S Talent

Lein and Nita had anticipated that Soul Grass was not an ordinary plant, so they weren\'t too surprised by Officer Mei\'s response.

They continued their shopping for a few more minutes, ignoring the prices. As long as an item was important, they would buy at least one. Lein and Nita deliberately refrained from buying in bulk to avoid suspicion from the higher-ups at the Vortal store.

Lein and Nita spent another hour purchasing items they felt would be useful for their territory\'s development. The first item was a high-grade Insight Stone used to level up skills. The price of one high-grade Insight Stone was 1,000 high-grade crystals.

(Insight Stone) Contains universal insights and can be absorbed.

- Insight Points: 10,000

- Insight Level: High

- Type: Universal

From the price alone, it was clear that this stone could only be purchased by those from royal families with unlimited wealth. Ordinary people without status could only rely on untradeable Insight Stones.

The second item Lein bought was a territorial defense weapon and several high-grade nests.

(Divine Cross Tower)

- Type: Territorial defense weapon

- Power: 1,000,000

- Firing speed: 5 shots/minute

- Firing range: 1,000 km

- Defense: 10,000,000

- Energy consumption: 1,000,000 energy crystals

(Kai Tribe Warrior Nest)

- Summons strong warriors from the Kai Tribe to join and fight for the ruler.

- Summoning rate: 10 warriors/day

- Strength Bonus: 25%

On several occasions, Lein inquired about epic chests, but Officer Mei\'s answers disappointed him. Epic chests were so valuable that when someone obtained one, they would immediately open it for themselves. Even for master-level beings and above, epic chests were highly useful.

Lein wanted to ask about artifact items. The reward given by the system in this event was a territorial artifact, so Lein wanted to buy one if it was available.

However, he stopped himself when Nita\'s message suddenly appeared in the friends chat.

- (Nita) "Brother, that\'s enough for now. We\'ve already spent over 2,500 high-grade crystals. More than this will raise suspicion."

Lein hesitated, then replied to Nita\'s message.

- (Lein) "This is the last one :)"

Lein looked at Nita beside him. Her face was tense, with furrowed brows and narrowed eyes. Her lips formed a thin line, holding back angry words. Her cheeks were slightly red, indicating her rising annoyance.

Lein made a pleading look and a slight wink, then turned his attention to Officer Mei.

"Sorry, Officer Mei. What about artifacts? Does the Vortal store sell them?" Lein asked attentively.

"Of course we do, but they require a different currency to purchase," Officer Mei replied casually but did not elaborate.

"May I see them, Officer Mei?" Lein asked cautiously.

"Certainly."

Officer Mei then took something out of her spatial ring. The item was like a multicolored light orb.

(Power Essence) The essence of power from nature. The primal energy for all living beings.

The item\'s description left Lein speechless. "Primal energy?" What kind of item is this, and how do you obtain it?

Lein didn\'t wait any longer. Secretly, he activated duplication on the Power Essence.

[Duplicate (Power Essence) x10,000 times, are you sure?]

"Yes."

Without any issues, 10,000 identical Power Essences appeared in Lein\'s spatial ring.

"Oh, this thing?" Lein pretended to be clueless, then took out an item from his storage ring.

Officer Mei was truly shocked this time. Wasn\'t the young man in front of her still in the early stages? How did he obtain Power Essence?

"Sorry, Sir Lein, may I ask where you got that item?" Officer Mei asked suspiciously.

From the start, she had treated Lein and Nita like usual customers, especially since they were fellow players, so she provided slightly better service. But this time, she was very suspicious. Lein had already spent almost 3,000 high-grade crystals. Even a master-level being didn\'t have that much wealth.

She feared Lein might have obtained the high-grade crystals illegally, such as by killing young lords from high-level powers.

A few years ago, a similar mistake occurred. A being with the power to destroy a realm with a single breath came to Realm Xroxx55 to seek justice for his disciple. Fortunately, the Supreme Ruler of Realm Xroxx55 made a private deal with the powerful being. Since then, the Vortal store had issued strict warnings to its staff to verify customers\' credibility to prevent a recurrence of such incidents.

Lein was sweating bullets. He felt he had crossed the line this time. He then looked at Nita beside him, who had a very frightening expression.

"I gave it to him," a voice suddenly spoke.

Yes, it was Liang Wei and his servant. Officer Mei looked at the young man, then shifted her gaze to the old man behind him. Her eyes narrowed, and she smiled stiffly.

"Senior, I apologize. This junior made a mistake," Officer Mei said respectfully, afraid of offending the old man. In her eyes, the old man behind the young man was terrifying. With just a touch of his finger, her Tier-3 body and soul could vanish from the universe.

Lein and Nita saw how Officer Mei reacted to the old man. They swallowed hard, realizing how dangerous he was.

"Sister Nita, why did you take so long? I\'ve been waiting at the port for over half an hour," Liang Wei said with slight annoyance.

"Sorry... Brother Lein and I were buying some equipment for the mission," Nita replied. In truth, she was very upset at the moment. This was all her greedy brother\'s fault.

"Oh... I see. What did you buy?" Liang Wei accepted Nita\'s made-up excuse without suspicion.

Lein then explained that he wanted to buy an artifact with Power Essence but was suspected by Officer Mei.

In his heart, Lein was very annoyed this time. He had caused trouble for everyone.

"Officer, please continue... If they lack funds, let me know," Liang Wei said innocently to Officer Mei.

"Alright, Young Master," Officer Mei straightened her posture and then looked at Lein and Nita to continue their transaction.
