It was the eighth day since all the lords had descended.
Let alone high-level equipment.
Even low-level equipment, if not for Xiao Mo putting them up for auction, almost all the lords had never seen.
Now, Xiao Mo had directly revealed the big news of high-level equipment, instantly causing a huge sensation.
You must know how difficult it was to get equipment to drop.
The magical beasts on the Origin Continent simply could not drop equipment.
Those creatures with some humanoid form could, but unfortunately, they were all intelligent beings of the indigenous forces.
Those beings were all powerful, and they had forces behind them, so they simply couldn't be defeated.
Therefore, with the current strength of these lords, even low-level equipment was difficult to obtain.
Let alone high-level equipment.
Most importantly, Xiao Mo's high-level equipment was all forged from materials from the eighth-tier peak commander-level Iron-backed Azure Wolf King.
Low-level equipment was already considered divine artifacts for the current lords.
What about high-level equipment?
It was simply like forbidden items during the novice protection period!
High-level equipment not only greatly enhanced the strength of troops but also had a much longer usable period than low-level equipment!
[What the heck! High-level equipment! Holy cow!]
[Damn it! I haven't even gotten low-level equipment yet, and now high-level equipment is out!]
[You haven't gotten it yet, upstairs, I haven't even seen it!]
[Let's see! I said it before, anything from Boss Qianmo is bound to be a masterpiece!]
[If I could get high-level equipment, wouldn't that be a huge profit!]
[Boss Qianmo is awesome!]
[There's a weird question here! If Boss Qianmo is even auctioning high-level equipment, does he have even more awesome and powerful equipment in his hands?]
[Holy crap! The more I think about it, the more terrifying it gets!]
[... ]
What these people didn't know was that Xiao Mo had no other equipment.
But Xiao Mo had already planned.
He obtained a lot of high-level materials from the commander-level Iron-backed Azure Wolf King.
Moreover, the Iron-backed Azure Wolf King was huge, so imagine how large its hide was.
With so many materials, according to the little brat's estimation, it could forge at least ten sets of high-level equipment.
At that time, he and the little brat would each keep one set, and the rest would be put up for auction.
As for the set he kept, it was naturally for himself!
The Immortal-Demon team did not need him to provide equipment this time.
In another day, the novice protection period would end.
And once the novice protection period passed, the territory's protective shield would disappear.
At that time, facing the beast tide crisis, he could not stay in the city.
Moreover, his current strength was already fifth-tier, and with a set of high-level equipment, he would be enough to deal with many crises.
This was something many lords had also thought of.
[High-level equipment is no problem, it's super strong! But using it on troops now, wouldn't that be a bit of a waste!]
[Most importantly, the materials forged into high-level equipment were only from one commander-level magical beast boss, so the quantity must not be much!]
[That's right! If I spend a lot of resources and luckily snatch a set of high-level equipment, it would at most be one or two sets, enough to equip only one or two troops. This is too unprofitable!]
What these lords said was not wrong.
Xiao Mo never intended to auction them in bulk, after all, high-level equipment was really limited in quantity.
After he and the little brat each kept a set, it would be good if eight or nine sets remained.
Eight or nine sets of high-level equipment would naturally be auctioned one by one.
This meant that at most, only eight or nine lords could obtain high-level equipment.
However, to obtain a set of high-level equipment, a large amount of resources would be paid.
If it was only used on a single troop, the effect would be too low, as the overall strength of a troop depended on the team.
At this point, many people had the same idea as Xiao Mo.
[Are you an idiot upstairs? After finally snatching a set of high-level equipment, you're going to use it on troops!]
[Brother, don't be silly! Isn't it more satisfying to arm yourself with high-level equipment?]
[That's right! Once the novice protection period is over and the beast tide event begins, it will be full of crises. The lord's safety is the most important thing!]
[Exactly! Troops can be summoned again if lost, but if the lord dies in the beast tide, it's all over!]
[I agree with the above!]
[High-level equipment must be used to improve our own strength and protect our safety! So, stop daydreaming!]
[You're right! Let's hurry out and find some Iron Essence! This stuff is hard to find!]
[Yes! This is really a big trouble!]
[Baby wants to cry! Wuwu... Why does Boss Qianmo only trade for Iron Essence! Baby hasn't even seen what Iron Essence looks like yet!]
[Uh! There are people who haven't seen it yet! It seems I'm not alone!]
[Boss Qianmo's move is clearly to upgrade the territory to a tribal settlement, which is why he needs a large amount of Iron Essence!]
[I'm so envious I could die! I wish my territory was still just an intermediate territory! Sigh...]
[... ]
The sensation caused by Xiao Mo's advertisement in the [World Chat Channel] was undoubtedly huge.
Almost all the lords emerged at this moment.
And in the end, it developed into an Iron Essence collection list.
Many people were shouting in the chat channel to exchange for Iron Essence, and more people directly listed a lot of resources on the trading platform.
These resources were food, wood, and stone, all listed at very low prices, with Iron Essence being the only restricted trading item.
Where there is a market, there will be profiteering merchants.
Many lords started acting as middlemen.
They bought Iron Essence at a relatively low price and then sold it at a super high price.
Just to earn the difference in the middle, the price of Iron Essence was driven up several times.
The market price on weekdays was one unit of food for five units of Iron Essence.
However, on weekdays, few people would use Iron Essence for exchange transactions, because the quantity of Iron Essence was too small!
But this time, the price of Iron Essence rose outrageously.
It directly became one unit of food for only one unit of Iron Essence.
This made those lords who had a small amount of Iron Essence and were not in a hurry to upgrade their territory to a tribal settlement very happy.
Of course, the price of exchanging wood and stone for Iron Essence was even more terrifyingly high.
But even so, many lords were still willing to exchange.
This is the market effect!
And the "culprit" causing all this was naturally the leisurely Boss Qianmo!
An advertisement for high-level equipment directly caused the price of Iron Essence to soar, but they had to buy it.
The most disadvantaged in this operation were naturally the top or advanced lords with strong troops.
Because they were the lords most confident and qualified to snatch high-level equipment.
This turnaround, in turn, allowed the lords with lower strength to make a lot of money.
However, none of this affected Xiao Mo.
He was even happy to see it happen.
The more Iron Essence these few powerful lords held, the higher the price would be during the auction.
Thus, Xiao Mo, as the mastermind behind the scenes, watched the madness in the chat channel and the trading platform, while a foxy smile appeared on his lips.
