Those who wanted to add him as a friend were all rejected by Xiao Mo.
The reason was simple: these friends requests were merely for private transactions of food. Trading between friends involved discounts.
Therefore, at this point, Xiao Mo did not need any friends!
Of course, on the [World Chat Channel], there were still many people who, despite having traded food with Xiao Mo, continued to curse and scold him.
Xiao Mo had even acquired a new nickname: Shameless Scammer!
As for why they were so furious with Xiao Mo, did that even need explaining?
There was a unified market price for food trades.
Fifteen units of wood or ten units of stone for one unit of food.
Yet, Xiao Mo was practically setting exorbitant prices, making outrageous demands!
One unit of food required thirty units of wood or twenty units of stone to obtain.
They were all compatriots who had transmigrated from Earth; why be so exploitative? Why be so harsh on each other!
However, more people still held a deep admiration for this 'Qian Mo' big shot.
After all, all the lords had only just transmigrated.
The vast majority of lords dared not even venture out of their own territories.
Even some lords who dared to go out, relying on their relatively strong troop types, were absolutely incapable of achieving what he had.
They were generally too afraid to leave their territories and gather resources, which resulted in extremely limited resource acquisition.
Not to mention food, which was simply incomparable to Xiao Mo.
A big shot!
This 'Qian Mo' great one was definitely a top-tier big shot!
His troops must also be outrageously powerful!
Xiao Mo accepted the title "Shameless Scammer" with equanimity.
In any case, he had plenty of food now; whether they traded or not was their choice!
Xiao Mo deeply agreed with the saying "Let my friend die, not myself."
With this thought in mind, Xiao Mo directly opened the [World Chat Channel] and sent a message.
"The next food trade will be in four hours, at the same exchange rate! Food is a precious commodity right now, first come, first served!"
This message immediately attracted a crowd.
[Oh my! The real Qian Mo has appeared!]
[Show us your face! Let your comrades admire the demeanor of the great one!]
[Seats and snacks ready!]
[Great Qian Mo, could your food be a tiny bit cheaper? I only have ten units of stone... I'm such a cutie!]
[The upstairs person is just a big oaf scratching his feet; just go home and sleep. Sleeping doesn't consume stamina, so you won't starve! Haha...]
[Get lost!!!]
As soon as Xiao Mo sent his message, millions of lords again requested to add him as a friend.
Xiao Mo rejected them all without exception.
"Master!"
At this moment, two Immortal-Demon War Soldiers returned to the city, dragging the corpses of several demonic beasts.
Among them were two demonic beasts at the peak of Tier 1.
After depositing the demonic beast corpses and receiving Xiao Mo's praise,
Immortal One and Immortal Two, still brimming with fighting spirit, cheerfully flew out of the territory to continue hunting.
The two Immortal-Demon War Soldiers worked diligently and did not require any attention regarding loyalty.
This made Xiao Mo extremely satisfied.
Having such troops was a great relief!
Simultaneously, as Immortal One and Immortal Two continued to hunt demonic beasts, Xiao Mo could feel more and more spiritual energy surging into his body, and his physical form underwent significant changes.
Now, Xiao Mo felt he could probably kill an elephant with a single punch.
With such physique and strength, he believed he was not far from advancing his level and shedding the title of 'ordinary mortal.'
Finally, after more than an hour.
A radiant white light descended from the heavens and shone upon Xiao Mo.
He felt his strength multiply several times in an instant, and his physical condition became even stronger.
At the same time, a gentle breeze blew, and Xiao Mo felt sticky all over, with a nauseating stench assailing his nostrils.
"Damn it! Why is it so smelly! What's going on?"
Xiao Mo looked around in confusion, and upon seeing his exposed skin, he was dumbfounded.
His once bronze skin was now covered in a layer of pitch-black, unknown viscous fluid, emitting a foul odor.
"Ugh! It's truly disgusting!"
Xiao Mo couldn't help but shrink his neck and quickly ran to a pond in the city, scrubbing himself several times before crawling out.
Looking at his skin again, it had become extremely fair, even radiating a white glow under the sun.
With his current skin, Xiao Mo would absolutely be a pretty boy on Earth!
After re-wrapping himself in tiger skin, Xiao Mo hurriedly opened his personal information.
[Lord: Xiao Mo]
[Strength Level: Tier 1 (Muscle and Marrow Cleansing)]
[Territory Level: Level 1 City]
[Territory Troops: Immortal-Demons (Unique Troop Type)]
[Territory Building: Immortal-Demon Reincarnation Pool]
[Equipment: None]
[Immortal-Demon Stone: 2]
[Soul Crystal: None]
...
Indeed, he had leveled up.
His level had changed from ordinary mortal to Tier 1, also known as Muscle and Marrow Cleansing.
Although Tier 1 strength was still at the very bottom on this Primordial Continent, at least he was no longer completely defenseless.
At least now, when he went out, he could probably deal with a Tier 1 demonic beast.
The corpses of the demonic beasts hunted by the two soldiers in the city's main hall had also piled up, totaling over twenty.
Xiao Mo collected all these corpses at once.
He obtained a total of three hundred units of food and twenty complete demonic beast hides.
There were also other resources, such as beast bones, demonic beast fat, and demonic beast essence blood.
Xiao Mo was still unsure of the uses for these items, so he simply put them all into his warehouse.
It was better to have them than not, right? What if they became useful someday?
Finally, there were four Immortal-Demon Stones.
This made Xiao Mo realize one thing.
The drop rate of Immortal-Demon Stones was not fixed; some demonic beasts dropped them, while others did not.
For example, the Tier 1 demonic beasts hunted by the Immortal-Demon troops did not drop any Immortal-Demon Stones. Only those of Tier 2 and above had a very small drop rate.
This was much like playing a game.
As a player's character level increased, the experience points gained from low-level mobs were minimal, and they wouldn't drop any precious items.
Thinking this, Xiao Mo could only sigh helplessly.
Although the low-level mobs had low drop rates, they still provided some "experience points," and he would gradually accumulate Immortal-Demon Stones.
As of now, Xiao Mo had a total of six Immortal-Demon Stones, and he was less than one-tenth of the way to the goal of one hundred, and this was in less than half a day.
However, the Soul Crystal was still a troublesome item. Although only one was needed, he had no idea where to get it!
Only by defeating elite-level or higher demonic beast bosses could one have a chance to obtain a Soul Crystal.
But where could he find elite-level or higher demonic beast bosses? Moreover, elite-level or higher demonic beast bosses were all Tier 5 peak or above, and he probably couldn't deal with them even if he found them.
"Forget it! I'll wait until Immortal One and Immortal Two's strength improves before I look for elite-level or higher demonic beast bosses!"
Xiao Mo pondered for a moment and abandoned the idea of obtaining a Soul Crystal for now.
He needed to improve his strength first and gather enough Immortal-Demon Stones!
After another wave of trading, he would have enough wood and stone for his territory upgrade, and upgrading the territory was the top priority!
