Chapter 2091 - 2084: Underestimated Two Things
"It seems you’ve all figured it out," the adventurer from the Warcraft Clan nodded, "That’s right, the one who destroyed the Ice Demon Race Main City, nearly killed their Guardian Beast, and destroyed the Sacrifice God Clan Main City, leading to the drop in the Sacrifice God Clan’s level, was that young man. There was no one else involved!"
"No wonder, the other two adventurers from the human race performed mediocrely, and their strength was not particularly outstanding. According to you, the reason this human suddenly became strong is inseparably linked with that black-haired youth!" an adventurer from the Divine Primordial Civilization boldly speculated.
"You’ve said quite a lot! As expected of you!" The Warcraft Clan clearly respected the people from the Divine Primordial Civilization immensely, "His name is Zhang Menglong, and he hasn’t been on this battlefield for long. Before this, the humans were performing averagely, but not long after he arrived, the Ice Demon Race got into trouble."
"We’ve continued our investigation on this man and discovered some very terrifying things!" By this point, even the tone of the Warcraft Clan adventurer had slowed down.
"Stop keeping us in suspense, just tell us!" Everyone’s curiosity was piqued.
"You know, our Warcraft Clan survives on intelligence," the Warcraft Clan adventurer revealed a smile akin to a shrewd merchant, "I’ve already revealed a lot to you all just now, and now..."
"How much do you want?" The adventurer from the Divine Primordial Civilization directly asked.
"One race, five million Supreme Crystals!"
Upon hearing this steep price, even the adventurers from the Divine Primordial Civilization furrowed their brows under their cloaks, "Aren’t you being a bit too greedy, 5 million Supreme Crystals? Even asking about the final auction item from you didn’t cost this much!"
"Hehe, our Warcraft Civilization always conducts business with integrity, treating everyone the same. Since we’re confident setting this price, it means the intelligence is worth it. We never force anyone to buy or sell!" The adventurer from the Warcraft Clan laughed, truthfully thinking that the price was set too low.
The adventurers pondered for a moment, indeed, the intelligence from the Divine Primordial Civilization is generally worth every penny. Since they dared to set this price, it means the intelligence must be worth it!
"Go on then!"
Everyone threw over their five million Supreme Crystals. Just from this piece of information alone, the Warcraft Clan amassed several hundred million Supreme Crystals in wealth!
"Alright," they happily pocketed the items, "the matter is outrageous, but this is indeed the result of our investigation. The human named Zhang Menglong possesses a unique ability: when he kills a magical beast, he obtains a 100% drop rate of all items from that beast!"
"What did you say!" Many, including those from the Divine Primordial Civilization, couldn’t sit still.
This news was like the apocalypse!
In a world where standing one’s ground depends on strength, the cohesion of a race is important, but the most crucial element is "resources," and inherently linked to "resources" is the "drop rate!"
No matter how powerful someone is, once they’ve exhausted their resources, they’re just awaiting death!
A weak adventurer might, by relying on certain resources, kill beings ten or a hundred times stronger than themselves!
In acquiring resources, it all depends on the drop rate.
Regardless of personal luck, a race’s drop rate is quite fixed: weaker races have slightly higher rates than stronger ones, but definitely not to any unprecedented degree, as the global drop rate is already very low.
But what does a 100% drop rate person encompass?
100% chance of obtaining Supreme Crystals, Supreme Weapons, and Ancient Relics.
It’s terrifying!
"Are you sure about this intelligence?" If this information were true, the price of five million Supreme Crystals wouldn’t be costly at all!
"Yes!" The Warcraft Clan nodded, "And not just that, he can influence the drop rate of items for the entire human race; I just mentioned, their average drop rate is over a hundred times ours!"
"No wonder! No wonder they have so many Ancient Relics, no wonder their Beast God Scrolls are thrown out like scrap, no wonder they can obtain something as rare as the Fjord Siege Cannon from magical beasts!"
"Humans must be eradicated, and Zhang Menglong must die!"
At that moment, these peak races formed almost a unanimous judgment: the existence of Zhang Menglong and the human race had already instilled them with immense fear and threat!
"We cannot let them acquire any auction items anymore," someone stated, "even with such a high drop rate, there are things they can’t have through such means; they’ll only appear in auctions, and these items are the ultimate countermeasure against them!"
"Exactly, if these things were to fall into human hands, even we would have no other method to counter them."
"We need to engage, sparing no expense against humanity!"
"Currently, we don’t have an accurate concept of humanity’s total assets," the adventurer from the Warcraft Clan said, "According to our estimations, an ordinary fourth-class race holds about ten to twenty million Supreme Crystals in assets. With drop rates hundreds of times that, coupled with Zhang Menglong’s personal assets, their total assets could likely exceed 20 billion Supreme Crystals!"
"20 billion..." This figure even made the Divine Primordial Civilization feel a bit afraid.
"Therefore, we must sacrifice certain things, but we must elevate the prices as high as possible and deplete their Supreme Crystals. Finally, we will auction the final few ancient relics, and by then, humans will also be entirely under our control!"
"Let’s do it! Also, we require the assets of our subordinate races as assistance, disseminate the message immediately!"
...
Zhang Menglong also didn’t expect that in just a matter of minutes, he and all of humanity had become the public enemy!
At this moment, the third auction item had already appeared.
"This is the Time Hourglass, capable of pausing time for the entire world for one second, with the user unaffected," Zero introduced the auction item with a simple sentence, "Starting bid, 5 million Supreme Crystals!"
"This thing is incredible, pausing world time for one second!" Zhang Menglong also stared with blazing eyes; he had acquired similar ancient relics, but those were limited in range, at most stopping time within tens to a hundred kilometers around him.
In one second, he could achieve a lot!
"10 million Supreme Crystals!" Zhang Menglong started bidding without hesitation.
"20 million!" Having reached a consensus, the super race adventurers decisively began countering Zhang Menglong.
Zhang Menglong smiled faintly, "50 million Supreme Crystals!"
"60 million!"
"100 million Supreme Crystals!"
"200 million!"
"1 billion Supreme Crystals!" Zhang Menglong didn’t even bother with slow bidding, it seemed he had already guessed their intentions.
Thinking of depleting his Supreme Crystals so that he wouldn’t have the ability to continue competing in subsequent auctions?
At this auction, there was a bug: even if you didn’t have that much money, as long as you could pay the handling fee, you could call out a price!
But if the final price was called and accepted, but the funds were lacking, the consequences would be severe!
But this bug invisibly also led to some very hostile behavior, namely malicious price inflations!
"Hahaha!" Zhang Menglong wasn’t too angry.
They miscalculated on two things.
First, they misjudged Zhang Menglong’s total assets and humanity’s total assets.
Second, they underestimated Zhang Menglong’s shamelessness!
With a cheeky smile, Zhang Menglong slowly drew out a Beast God Scroll, his smile turning into a murderous gleam...
