Chapter 7

“What’s going on? What happened, guys? I just got here!”

Qin Xiao was confused.

At this moment, a private message was sent. It was from the Snow Demon who was buying herbs.

Snow Demon Mu Xue’er: Take a look at the announcement. I heard that the angels are about to attack.

####Qin Xiao: Okay, thank you.

Snow Demon Mu Xue’er: You’re welcome. Do you have any herbs? I’ll give you a high price~

####Qin Xiao: Soon. Wait a moment, I’ll go read the announcement first.

Qin Xiao deliberately hid his race’s name. It was his personality to keep a low profile.

He switched back to the chat room and blocked the messages.

A few lines of eye-catching red words appeared in his vision.

Public Announcement: The novice protection period will end in three days. Players from the Angel alignment will obtain the coordinates of the nearby demon players. The first round of killing is about to begin. Players, please be prepared.

Countdown to the end of the protection period: 65 hours, 46 minutes, and 21 seconds!

Enjoy the game!

“Angel invasion? No wonder these guys are in such a hurry.”

Angels and demon players were in different situations. Although demons were generally stronger than angels, their starting points were completely different.

The demon players had transmigrated to this world with their bodies. They had to start from scratch. They had to rely on their own hard work to grow.

However, the angel players’ souls had transmigrated into the bodies of specific races, similar to the possession described in the novels Qin Xiao had read in his previous life.

Hence, Angel players might have high levels and resources from the start. In this sense, the situation of Demon players was simply hell.

However, in order to ensure balance, the targets to which the angel players’ souls teleported would not be too ridiculously strong.

At most, they were in Level 2.

The highest in the world was only Level 10.

This news could be disastrous for others.

However, it was an opportunity for Qin Xiao and those demons with good aptitudes.

Demons can only obtain points to unlock or upgrade their talents by absorbing the souls of angels.

“In that case, I have to improve quickly.”

Caution was the key to not fail!

While Qin Xiao was checking the players’ chat and trading information, the first batch of laborers had returned.

They brought back nearly half of the broken ordnance and enough herbs, food, and basic resources.

“Not bad. You came back in time.”

He placed his hand on the crystal again.

“Unlock the warehouse panel.”

Storage panel unlocked successfully. Cost: 200 gold coins. Remaining gold coins: 584

These gold coins were obtained by laborers and hunters killing wild monsters. Indeed, there was strength in numbers.

Although the virtual portable warehouse provided by the system could not store many things, it was good that he could automatically scan and calculate the number of resources in the territory.

This saved Qin Xiao the trouble of counting. It could be said that the 200 gold coins were well spent.

New supplies detected in the territory. Calculating!

Calculation completed. Total detected: Used equipment x543, used large-scale ordnance x11, used crossbow x22, various herbs x215, usable food x742, wood x1024…

Qin Xiao opened the trading system and hung up a portion of the old equipment, weapons, and crossbows. This was the first time someone had sold equipment, so he had to test the waters first.

####Qin Xiao: Old equipment x10, a total of 20 gold coins; Old large-scale military equipment x1, a total of 80 gold coins; Old crossbow x2, a total of 80 gold coins.

“Level 1 equipment, 99% new. Magic Power driven. If you want to buy it, buy it quickly!”

“Oh my god, the angels are coming, and there’s still someone selling equipment? Brother, is there something wrong with your brain?!”

“Old equipment? I don’t want it.”

Qin Xiao happened to be at the right time. The angels were almost at the doorstep. At this time, every item that could increase their strength might save their life, so the price was ignored.

Although they shouted that they didn’t want it, their bodies were very honest.

Qin Xiao did not expect these people to be so fast. In less than three seconds, the stock was empty.

After all, although the equipment was broken, it could be used as long as it was repaired by their followers.

Even if a set of armor could increase their Vitality and Strength by 2 points, this was a considerable increase for followers who only had one point in their attributes.

Moreover, the price of 2 gold coins apiece was not too high.

Not to mention the large-scale equipment and ballistae. The large-scale equipment’s high AoE damage and the power of the ballistae to instantly kill elites made them overjoyed.

The players who managed to get their hands on the equipment were secretly delighted, while those who did not complained.

“Boss, is there anything else? I’ll buy it at a high price!”

“Please, I need your help! I’m in the Holy Light Plains.”

“I’m also begging the big shot to sell the goods! (The person above can wait to die.)”

“…”

Qin Xiao knew that there was a chance when he saw their reactions.

It seemed that his price was a little too low.

In the next second, Qin Xiao placed the goods on the trading hall again.

####Qin Xiao: Old equipment x100, a total of 300 gold coins; Old large weapon x2, a total of 200 gold coins; Old crossbow x4, a total of 200 gold coins.

“All in one batch, brothers. If you want to buy them, hurry up!”

“Coming, coming!”

“Boss, why are you raising the price? I object!”

“Thank you, big shot!”

“…”

The speed of selling this time was not as fast as before. After the price increased, many people thought about it before choosing to buy it.

After all, they could earn money again, but they only had one life!

About half a minute later, the goods were sold out again.

Qin Xiao ignored the comments. He knew how to keep the demand.

Just keep them waiting!

Qin Xiao took out the blueprint of the Undead Tomb and placed his hand on the crystal.

After thinking about it, he prepared to place the tomb at the entrance of the snow valley.

The entire snow valley was surrounded by glaciers that were ten thousand meters tall. The temperature on the mountains was terrifyingly low.

Those angels would probably freeze to death before they could even fly halfway.

Therefore, he only needed to place his troops at the exit of the snow valley to ensure that the crystal was safe.

“Build the Undead Tomb.”

Level 1 Elite Construction—Undead Tomb completed. Consumed Undead Crystal × 1, Stones × 30, Wood × 100, Gold Coins × 500

Undead Tomb—Level 1 Elite building, can naturally nurture Level 1 unit Ghoul, Level 1 Elite unit Mutant Ghost. Mutant Ghost Breeding Duration: 10 hours; Ghoul Breeding Duration: 10 minutes. Population Limit: 500 Ghouls, 30 Mutant Ghosts.

Red light rose, and a strange graveyard appeared at the entrance of the snow valley.

Immediately after, 100 ghouls and 15 Mutant Ghosts crawled out of the graveyard.

Those were the units given for free after he established the building.

Qin Xiao opened the interface and checked the attributes of these new units.
