The man’s expression froze when he heard the boy’s words. “Are you rich?”
“Yes.”
The boy nodded and looked around. Then he reached for the phone on the bedside table and started operating it.
He opened the forum and saw his account balance in the backend.
Diamond coins worth 5 million of real money had been transferred into his account at the same time that the transaction was completed.
A certain amount would be deducted by the game company for the handling fee, but such transactions were safer. The amount was still considerable after the handling fee was deducted.
The boy exchanged all of it directly and transferred it to his father’s account.
“Ding dong—”
The man’s phone rang. He took it out and looked at it doubtfully. Then his eyes widened.
“Xiao Yi, this…”
“It seems there is a limit. I can only transfer one million first. I will transfer the rest tomorrow.”
The man was stunned for a while before he found his voice. He looked at his son and said incredulously, “Xiao Yi, this money… where did you get it from?”
“In the game.”
The boy laughed with a genuine smile on his face. “Dad, you and Mom are right. After persisting, I really gained a lot.”
If it wasn’t for that one month of dark and gloomy experience of going ashore, he wouldn’t have met the little prince who came to pick him up if he had given up halfway. Then all the things that happened later wouldn’t have happened.
He was very glad that he persisted.
“You mean… you earned this from the game?” The man asked in surprise.
“Yes.”
The boy nodded. “I sold a very precious material…”
Having said this, he lowered his eyes slightly and the smile on his face dimmed. It was given to him by the Tree of Life. He didn’t want to sell such a precious gift if possible…
The man noticed his low mood and couldn’t help reaching out to touch him. He asked with concern, “Xiao Yi, what’s wrong?”
“I might’ve caused a lot of trouble for others…” The boy clenched his fists and said with guilt and sadness.
The Tree of Life gave him the leaf, but not only did he sell the leaf, he might’ve brought a huge hidden danger to her…
At this time, a large palm wrapped around his small hand. The man held his son’s hand, gently rubbed the top of his head and said gently, “Then compensate that person well and help him solve this trouble.”
“Then apologize to that person sincerely. I believe they will be moved by your sincerity and forgive you.”
The boy looked into his father’s loving eyes and sniffed. Finally, he couldn’t help opening his arms to hug him. “Yes, I know, Dad.”
The man gently patted him on his thin back and said, “Keep the remaining money for now. We will talk about it when it is used up.”
One million was enough to last for a while.
“Okay.”
The boy nodded obediently.
The news of this sky-high auction eventually spread.
After all, a game item was sold for 5 million. It wasn’t unprecedented, but it still made the players present astonished.
Not to mention, this item wasn’t a complete equipment. It was just a material the buyer purchased to make a set of clothes.
If this suit was really made, how much money would be spent? Wasn’t it too tyrannical to use such a valuable material to make a piece of clothing?
Most players didn’t believe it when the post about the auction appeared on the forum.
After all, there were no photos or videos.
In order to protect Grumpy Little Rabbit, Lin Mu personally organized this auction and didn’t allow the participants to use any filming equipment.
It was actually very simple to do this. Just pull people into a team and have the team leader set the anti-peeping mode.
In this regard, the planning of Starry Sky Age could be said to be very friendly.
Therefore, except for the final buyer and seller who could post the transaction record, no one else could give evidence.
No matter what the person who wrote the post said, he couldn’t come up with any evidence. The only thing he could post was Lin Mu’s chat record with him.
But this proved nothing at all.
[Five million for a leaf. Are you stupid or am I stupid? What is the motive of the poster for posting something like this?]
[I admit that the clothes of Starry Sky Age are all very nice, but spending so much money on a material? Haha, I don’t believe it!]
[What about the evidence? Don’t run away. Show me the transaction record if you can.]
The poster’s name was Awesome Shangtian. He was so angry at the comments that he was about to ascend to Heaven.
Those who were invited to participate in the auction all had a certain amount of capital. He was a rich second generation who spent money like water in games and liked to be flattered.
When had he ever been mocked like this?
Finally, stimulated by netizens, he couldn’t help contacting the rich sister and asked her to post a message to help clarify the matter.
“You are too late. Lin Mu told me not to reveal it to anyone.”
Awesome Shangtian couldn’t help saying angrily, “Who is Lin Mu? Isn’t he just good at playing games? Why do you care about that type of person?”
The rich sister replied, “I will do what I promised. He promised me that he would give me priority in future leaf auctions.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone in a noble and cold manner.
Awesome Shangtian, “……”
How rich was this sister?
In the end, the post was left unresolved. This made Lin Mu and Grumpy Little Rabbit feel relieved.
Many people came to Grumpy Little Rabbit to verify it, but he had turned off friend requests a long time ago. Apart from that updated post, others who wanted to find him could only go to the territory of the sea elves.
As for the land of the sea elves, currently no player could enter except for the ten person team who had received the mission. Thus, the Tree of Life was still safe for the time being.
However, Awesome Shangtian still couldn’t swallow this humiliation.
After knowing that the rich sister was still collecting materials, he thought of another way to prove himself.
Go and get a Tree of Life leaf himself!
He couldn’t enter the land of the sea elves or contact Grumpy Little Rabbit, but this didn’t matter. There was another elf among the players.
Thus, Lan Xiaoyin was blocked by someone.
In fact, he also saw Awesome Shangtian’s post. He didn’t want to read it at all, but he couldn’t resist the enthusiastic onlookers in the live stream room.
His expression twisted for a moment when he saw that a leaf of the Tree of Life was auctioned for 5 million.
He wasn’t short of money. After all, the fact that he could spend 100,000 to buy a game cabin proved that he was also a rich man.
What’s more, he had made a lot of money from live streaming in the past two months. He didn’t need to use his real pocket money and could live well with the money he earned from the game.
But he couldn’t swallow this indignity!
Why were they all elves and had the Tree of Life, but he got nothing? Was this a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature?
However, he still refused when Awesome Shangtian asked him to steal the leaf together.
Was this person joking?
From the standpoint of his identity, Lan Xiaoyin was now a forest elf. How could he join forces with an outsider to steal a treasure of his own race?
It was also fortunate—
The teleportation entrance to the elf canyon was in the back mountain of the Elementalist Academy. This meant that no one else could find it for Awesome Shangtian except for him.
Then Lan Xiaoyin was targeted.
Awesome Shangtian had set up a mercenary group. Once Lan Xiaoyin refused to cooperate, he vented all his anger on Lan Xiaoyin. He led the members to surround and attack Lan Xiaoyin every day.
It was a pity that the current Lan Xiaoyin was no longer who he used to be.
At level 5, he was able to rely on his Plant Transformation skill to sneak into the high level palace. Now that his level had gone up and he had the guidance of the elf bosses, he learned this skill to perfection.
This mercenary group wanted to vent their anger on him but they often didn’t even touch the edge of his clothes during the chase.
Lan Xiaoyin, who had been feeling aggrieved for a long time, vented his anger on these people. He went live every day as usual and played around with the people chasing him.
This game of pursuit and counter-pursuit attracted countless spectators. Fans often informed Lan Xiaoyin, and Awesome Shangtian’s team also looked for him based on his live broadcast.
Both sides lost and won, going back and forth. This could be described as extremely exciting and became a spectacle of Starry Sky Age.
As one of the original protagonists, Grumpy Little Rabbit hadn’t expected things to turn out like this.
The boy sat on the trunk of the Tree of Life and watched Lan Xiaoyin’s live broadcast. He couldn’t help scratching his head.
It seemed like…
What was wrong with this?
This matter could be called a happy ending for everyone (?). It had a good ending for the time being.
In the midst of the laughter and scolding of the players, the exploration and construction plan of the sea elves’ land wasn’t delayed. Finally, one month later, the magic circle master, Dominic, successfully drew a protective circle.
This protective magic circle was designed and built based on the environment of the land of the sea elves, the number of surrounding sea beasts, and the maximum attack that the sea beasts could launch. In theory, it could protect the land of the sea elves for a period of time.
But it might not be able to withstand it when attacked by sea beasts for a long time. Thus, they needed to send a team of braves to clean up the surrounding sea beasts.
Xu Sili was overjoyed when he received the news.
He immediately went to the place where Master Dominic drew the magic circle and transformed the protective magic circle into a card.
Then he issued a task to Qing Yan again and handed the card to her.
Before Qing Yan set off, he contacted the sea elves and informed Chief Heidi about this matter.
Heidi, who was teaching at the Elementalist Academy, was so excited after hearing the news that she almost couldn’t stay standing. However, she quickly calmed down. She handed over the class to the teaching assistant and gathered all her clan members to return to the land of the sea elves together.
Today was a moment for them to witness history.
They had been waiting for this moment for so long. They had never thought that the sea elves would have such a day.
For such a major event, the ten person team naturally couldn’t be absent. A live broadcast was also indispensable.
This was related to the opening of the underwater map. It naturally received a lot of attention!
Finally, under everyone’s expectant eyes, Qing Yan once again used the card technique and released the guardian magic circle.
The huge protective magic circle quietly appeared on the seabed. Under the illumination of the floating lamp, the complicated lines shone with a mysterious light and was full of a powerful beauty.
Everyone held their breath and watched as Qing Yan handed a dagger to Heidi.
The huge protective magic circle was modeled after the protective magic circle of Roland’s main city. It required the sacrifice of royal blood to be activated.
Heidi didn’t refuse.
Longevity was probably the biggest advantage of the sea elves.
She took the dagger calmly. Under Qing Yan’s guidance, she pressed her cut palm onto the magic circle.
A miracle happened when her palm pressed against the magic circle.
A huge column of light shot up into the sky. The seawater around the Tree of Life suddenly scattered. The sea beasts submerged in the column of light turned into spots of light in an instant.
Heidi’s wide eyes were stung by the light, but she gritted her teeth and persisted. She was unwilling to miss the slightest detail.
Finally, a huge light shield took shape under everyone’s expectations. A new world was opened at the bottom of the sea!
