Chapter 103: Exchange
Above the metal plaza at the base of the black tower.
Babata and Qiu Jian, two advanced intelligent life forms, were floating in mid-air, one on the left and one on the right.
They pointed and gesticulated at the enormous silver phantom, unleashing a barrage of sarcastic and cutting remarks—words only found in the databases of advanced civilizations—onto the intelligent lifeform mist.
The fog's enormous silver face was contorted with emotion, causing the light of the entire phantom to flicker.
Seeing the three intelligent beings getting more and more carried away with their argument, Hong had no choice but to stride forward and forcibly pull Qiu Jian, who was still quoting scriptures and making personal attacks, back to his side.
Luo Feng understood immediately and stuffed the still jumping and cursing Babata back into the space on his wrist.
"Please excuse our rudeness, Lord Mist. We two intelligent beings haven't seen our own kind in a long time, so it's noisy enough that we're a bit too much," Hong said calmly, gripping his black spear as he addressed the enormous silver phantom in the sky.
Without those two annoying little brats, the old man, Wu, let out a cold snort, and raised his huge head slightly, as if he had regained his dignity as a world-ruling intelligent life form.
He pretended to clear his throat, and his booming voice echoed throughout the entire square.
"Ignorant outsiders, you're wise to be so. You're quite capable to have entered this realm within a realm before the entrance even opened."
"However, no tricks will work against the rules I have set. If you want the endless treasures left by my master, you have to follow the rules."
The enormous hand of the fog waved gently in the void as it continued speaking.
"Within this realm, any currency or treasures you bring from the outside world are worthless. The only currency that can be used to exchange for my master's treasures is the realm ore, a specialty of this space. Exchanging realm ore is the only ironclad rule here, understand?"
As he finished speaking, he lightly touched the air with his enormous fingertip.
In an instant, a giant holographic exchange list radiating dazzling golden light unfolded like a waterfall above the square.
This list is filled with a dazzling array of treasures.
At the top of the list, a few lines of eye-catching text were the first thing that caught the team members' eyes.
"The number one item is this Inheritance Crystal Ball!" Wu's voice suddenly rose, carrying an extremely strong seductive power.
"The great Lord Kabu sealed all the spatial secrets and supreme inheritance he had learned in his lifetime within a crystal ball. To open it, three codes must be collected. Each code requires ten million interdimensional ores!"
Besides the mysterious inheritance code, the list also includes a series of precious treasures such as the Fruit of Life, fifth-tier Force weapons, and high-level bloodline evolution agents.
Thor stared at the names on the list, their allure gleaming, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
Luo Feng was also quickly browsing through them, rapidly calculating the value of these treasures in his mind.
Hong crossed his arms and looked up at the "Inheritance Crystal Ball" held high on the list. Remembering that it was just a recording of the Kabu Realm Lord's wicked joke, he couldn't help but curse the swindler in his heart.
Looking at the focused expressions of the three people below, Wu's arrogance intensified.
"Did you see that clearly? Even the lowest-grade treasure requires at least tens of thousands of interdimensional ores."
"I have a piece of advice for you little guys: before those big forces outside completely break through the spatial barrier, hurry up and get into the mud on the outer edge and dig with your pitiful hands. With your meager star-level primal energy, if you're lucky, you might be able to get a fifth-tier weapon before the end of this month. That would make the trip worthwhile."
"You need boundary ore to exchange for it, right? That's perfect."
After hearing Wu's sarcastic words, Hong was not angry at all. Instead, he turned his head and exchanged a glance with Luo Feng beside him.
Their eyes met, and they smiled knowingly.
Hong took a step forward and walked to the center of the square. Luo Feng followed closely behind, standing shoulder to shoulder with Hong.
"Third brother, let's have this great Lord Mist take a good look at our inventory."
As soon as Hong finished speaking, he and Luo Feng simultaneously activated the spatial rings in their hands.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A massive amount of gray-black boundary ore poured out of the two people's spatial rings.
Heavy ore crashed onto the hard metal plaza like a waterfall, producing a metallic roar.
In just a few breaths, the cascading ore piled up into a small mountain on the plaza.
Moreover, this torrent not only did not weaken at all, but became even more intense.
Thor, Taino, and Fuxi had long since retreated to the edge of the plaza. Thor looked at the ever-growing mountain of ore and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
In mid-air, the fog, which had been arrogantly watching the show, was now completely frozen in place by the enormous silver face.
He scanned the ever-increasing number of boundary ore below.
Ten thousand...one million...ten million...
That enormous number broke through the 20 million mark in just half a minute!
The illusory image of the mist flickered, and he suddenly lowered his enormous head, looking at the two monstrous Star-level boys, and muttered something in a stammering voice.
"Damn it... This is really weird. Where did you guys come from, you monsters?"
In this realm within a realm, if a star-level martial artist were to rely solely on their own genetic energy to mine boundary ores from the hard soil, the efficiency would be ridiculously low.
"Lord Mist, according to your rules, may we now make the exchange?"
Hong, holding a long black spear, stood in front of the ore mountain and asked calmly.
It took several seconds for Wu to recover from her shock.
"Yes, of course. What...what do you need to exchange?"
Hong pondered for a moment, then turned around and pulled Luo Feng, Thor, and the others behind him to start discussing what they needed. Babata's virtual figure reappeared and glared fiercely at the fog.
Meanwhile, in the Thunder World, in the Wind and Thunder Canyon...
The elite forces of the various powers in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire have all gathered in front of that unstable spatial barrier.
They temporarily set aside their grudges, and everyone's face was filled with an undisguised fanaticism and greed.
"Listen up, everyone! Prepare to join forces and unleash our strongest attack to blast this damned spatial barrier apart!"
