Chapter 2081 - 2074: The Human Race You Mentioned Is Us
"Menglong, what do you mean by ’dominate the screen’?" Ozer and Dominic beside him asked curiously.
"You’ll know in a bit." Zhang Menglong said to Kia, "Kia, can you help me post a notification?"
"You just need to pay the corresponding amount of Supreme Crystals. Each message can’t exceed 100 characters." Kia said.
"The noble Humans race has entered the venue," Zhang Menglong said, "Just go with this sentence and loop it for an hour first!"
"Alright," Kia nodded, "Before you, there are still 276 messages waiting to be broadcast. The estimated wait time is 27 minutes.
"Damn!" Zhang Menglong rolled his eyes. On second thought, it made sense. Tons of races needed to post buy or sell info, and the system could only broadcast for one race at a time. "Is there no way to cut the line?"
"There is. You can spend 10,000 Supreme Crystals for priority broadcast."
"Then you tell me first, does priority broadcast still need to queue up?" Zhang Menglong had learned his lesson this time. With so many races around, there had to be a few who weren’t short on cash, right?
"Currently, no race has used the priority broadcast function!" Kia replied.
"Then use that sentence just now and spam it nonstop for one hour!" Zhang Menglong said. "How many Supreme Crystals do I need?"
"You need to pay 5 million Supreme Crystals!"
Zhang Menglong directly handed over a spatial storage device. "Count it."
On the face of the rule-lifeform Kia, an actual flicker of surprise and delight flashed by. It seemed that spending these Supreme Crystals brought him some sort of benefit too.
"5 million Supreme Crystals have been received. Now beginning to broadcast your notification!"
...
"The noble Humans race has entered the venue!"
"The noble Humans race has entered the venue!"
"The noble Humans race has entered the venue!"
...
The announcement began to echo over and over throughout the entire Myriad Tribes Bazaar venue, and Zhang Menglong even custom-added a "God of Gamblers" BGM track.
"Seriously too many Supreme Crystals with nowhere to burn. Sending such a completely useless notification—wonder which idiot civilization this is!"
"Exactly, no matter how many Supreme Crystals you’ve got, this is not how you use them, right?"
"How many times has this been already? Ten times?"
"Twenty times."
"Fifty times..."
"Why hasn’t our race’s notification been broadcast yet? Did they use the priority function? One message costs 10,000 Supreme Crystals! That’s already over a million Supreme Crystals!"
"My god, the total Supreme Crystals our whole race brought isn’t even enough for them to send a few notifications. Just how rich is this race?"
"Humans race... really damn high-profile. With that kind of financial power, casually burning a few million Supreme Crystals just to announce their arrival—they’re probably a Level One race, right? But how come I’ve never heard of them before?"
"Even if they’re a Level One race, they wouldn’t go this far, would they? Even the Divine Primordial Civilization has never pulled something this high-profile."
This notification instantly turned Humans into the number one talking point of the entire venue.
Some races were still anxiously trying to buy or sell Ancient Relics, and these messages were directly wasting a lot of their time. One or two notices were fine, but if it kept going like this, what were others supposed to do?
Another group of races was just watching the show, holding a "let’s see the circus" mindset, mostly curious about this Humans race.
Of course, no matter which side they were on, there was zero chance this would give anyone a good impression.
"So this is what you meant by dominating the screen?" The two Dao Realm peak powerhouses from Humans finally understood the meaning of that phrase.
"Well? Pretty badass, right?" Zhang Menglong asked shamelessly.
Dominic and Ozer immediately rolled their eyes. Zhang Menglong was really hell-bent on turning Humans into the ultimate attention-hog.
Sure, the race’s name was now out there, but so what? Was this going to make other races fear Humans, or make them want to get along with Humans?
Unless Humans had absolutely overwhelming strength and power, wouldn’t it be better to just keep a lower profile?
When the all-hall announcement rang out, in two corners of the venue, Adventurers from two races silently clenched their fists—one from the Ice Demon Race, and one from the Sacrifice God Clan. The word "Humans" had already become their nightmare.
Of course, Zhang Menglong couldn’t care less about these two defeated losers. He just quietly took out a few advertising boards and placed them on the ground.
"Buying everything at high prices!"
Just these five words directly summed up Zhang Menglong’s purpose this trip.
For any race, their Supreme Crystals weren’t something blown in by the wind—Humans excluded!
Even for the Divine Primordial Civilization, the race hailed as the strongest of this era, the amount of Supreme Crystals they possessed was still limited.
But they also needed lots of things.
So they could only sell off some lesser-use Ancient Relics to earn Supreme Crystals, and then use those to buy what they really needed.
But Zhang Menglong was different. He had more than enough Supreme Coins, so he had absolutely no need to sell any Ancient Relic he had on hand. The whole reason he came here this time was to buy, buy, buy!
With Zhang Menglong’s current financial power, if he wanted to buy up every single Ancient Relic in the entire venue, it might actually be completely doable.
"Bro, you guys are really talking big," an Adventurer from another civilization on the opposite side of their booth said in a slightly mocking tone.
In fact, the placement of each booth was very particular, not random at all. Stronger races would be arranged in the more bustling, central zones, while weaker races would be pushed to the more peripheral areas. The hierarchy was very obvious.
Fourth-class races, if you said they weren’t strong, they’d already surpassed most races.
But if you said they were strong? The minimum entry requirement for the Myriad Tribes Bazaar was Fifth-class. Fourth-class races were practically the bottom rung.
That Adventurer’s race was a Fourth-class race. They’d pooled together their entire race’s resources and only had a bit over 200 Ancient Relics and around 8 million Supreme Crystals in total.
What kind of purchasing power does 8 million Supreme Crystals have?
For example, the Absolute Barrier Zhang Menglong had used before cost 100,000 Supreme Crystals. That was already one of the cheapest items.
An Ultimate Bomb cost around 200–250,000 Supreme Crystals each.
A God Summoning Scroll was about 300,000 per scroll.
An Abyssal Spear was around 150,000 per item.
Beast God Scrolls started at over 1 million Supreme Crystals even for the cheapest ones.
If it was a Beast God Scroll like those for something like Lei Banang or Pickbo, the price was at least 5 million Supreme Crystals or more.
A mere 8 million Supreme Crystals meant the Ancient Relics they could afford were pitifully few!
Owning 8 million Supreme Crystals made them considered quite wealthy among Fourth-class races. The average for most Fourth-class civilizations was probably around 5 million Supreme Crystals.
In their eyes, this race had a booth about the same level as theirs, so they probably were just another Fourth-class civilization.
Even the top-ranked Divine Primordial Civilization wouldn’t dare say something like "Buying everything at high prices"!
Zhang Menglong gave that Adventurer a sideways glance. "It’s alright. Honestly, I think I’m already being very low-key."
"True!" The Adventurer actually didn’t refute him. "Compared to that Humans race that keeps spamming announcements, you guys really are nothing. I’m speechless, why go that high-profile? Ever heard of ’the gun targets the one who sticks his head out’?"
Zhang Menglong tilted his head. "Sorry, but have you considered the possibility that the Humans race you’re talking about is us?"
