With the re-listing of these ten low-grade equipment, Xiao Mo naturally became the undisputed strongest lord.
Even the previous anti-fans had to honestly admit that this Mo Qian, a top player, possessed a strength that was the ceiling for all lords, worthy of utter admiration.
"Hahaha... no one will snatch it from me this time, right! Get lost! Move aside! I'm buying equipment!"
"Piss off! Where did you crawl out from? You think you can just buy it? Do you have the financial means?"
"Gagaga... I knew Mo Qian would make another big move, so I've been preparing for a while!"
"The brother upstairs has foresight! But, brother, I'm also ready! Hehehe..."
"I feel like upgrading my territory is useless now, it's better to focus on improving troop strength!"
"The upstairs is absolutely right! A big territory is not that useful, only strong troops can deal with the upcoming beast tide!"
"Exactly! Fortunately, all my supplies are stockpiled, and I should be able to bid for a piece of equipment this time to enhance my troops' strength!"
"As long as troop strength is sufficient, will I be afraid of not obtaining more resources? This is definitely not a losing deal!
"What's the point of talking so much! There are only ten pieces of equipment! To improve troop strength, you first need to be able to get your hands on them!"
As this news emerged, many lords felt as if a basin of cold water had been dumped on them.
Among the billions of lords, how many possessed humanoid troops?
Even one in a thousand, it would still be a terrifyingly large number.
And with only ten pieces of equipment, what was the probability of successfully acquiring them?
This probability was no different from winning the lottery.
To put it simply, the reason for many lords' unease boiled down to two points.
One was that the resources in their hands might not necessarily crush others, and might even be inferior.
The second was that the quantity of these equipment was too small, while the number of lords who needed this equipment was too great.
However, for some lords who had long anticipated Xiao Mo's continued grand moves, they were now full of confidence.
Because, throughout the day, they had already prepared their resources, just waiting to compete with others.
The auction on the "Myriad Races Trading Platform" had begun.
Without a doubt, these ten pieces of equipment were again fiercely contested by the lords.
And to acquire these pieces of equipment, these lords had gone all out.
The bidding prices kept climbing, quickly reaching astronomical figures.
These equipment were from the Minotaurs of the Torren race, although their grade was very low.
Yet, for the lords currently in the beginner stage, this low-grade equipment was akin to divine artifacts.
With this equipment, after their troops' strength improved, they would not only be able to hunt monsters and gather resources more efficiently, but they would also be more confident in facing the beast tide in four days.
Therefore, as long as they could obtain this equipment, they wouldn't care about the cost.
Resources could be gathered anytime, but good items that improved troop strength were rare!
However, what surprised many lords this time was that several lords with top-tier humanoid troops were also participating in the bidding.
They indeed wanted to surpass Xiao Mo, but improving their troop strength through this equipment was still an improvement.
Even if they bought it from Xiao Mo, it wouldn't hinder anything.
Moreover, even if they couldn't surpass Xiao Mo, leaving the other high-tier and top-tier lords far behind would still be a source of great pleasure.
Seeing this, some lords with non-humanoid troops began to complain.
"I'm so sad! Why are my troops the Earth Bears!"
"Same as the above, I'm also feeling down! My troops are Ironback Wolves, and their equipment needs special forging!"
"Me too! Although my troops are humanoid, they are all Featherfolk! They can't equip these things at all!"
"Oh ho! You're a Featherfolk, upstairs! Isn't that also a high-tier troop? You're hiding quite well!"
"Alas! I wonder if there are any lords who can forge equipment now, I also want to forge equipment for my troops!"
"Probably not! If there were, they would have started auctioning them at high prices long ago!"
"That makes sense! But this is too unfair to us non-humanoid troops!"
"Fair? They all have top-tier troops, high-tier troops, and we have mid-tier and low-tier troops, is that fair?"
"Exactly! There's no such thing as true fairness in this world!"
"This damn life..."
These people looked at the bustling trading platform, their eyes filled with envy, but could only sigh helplessly in their hearts.
Who told them that the troops they summoned initially were non-humanoid?
In short, if they needed equipment, they would have to wait for specialized forging in the future.
...
At this moment, Xiao Mo was not paying attention to all this.
He was currently "plotting" a money-making scheme with Dou Xiaodou.
That was to forge the equipment within four days.
Four days later would mark the end of the novice protection period, and then the "Beast Tide Event" would commence.
The threat of the massive beast tide was a weeding-out assessment for all lords.
Those who could survive would remain on the Primordial Continent, preparing to face the subsequent battle for dominance among the myriad races.
And the losers would be directly eliminated and annihilated.
Survival of the fittest, only the strong survive!
It was as simple as that!
And as long as Little Douzi could forge the equipment within these four days, before the beast tide arrived, he and Dou Xiaodou could make a fortune.
Xiao Mo had absolute confidence that to safely survive this beast tide crisis, these lords would not hesitate to reveal their true wealth.
After all, as long as they could survive, they could continue to develop their forces on the Primordial Continent.
Whatever they paid now, they would eventually earn it back.
But if they failed, then it would be all over. If their lives were lost, what use would those external possessions be?
No one would risk their life for a few external possessions.
And Little Douzi treated Xiao Mo as his elder brother, practically a fanboy, so he naturally obeyed him implicitly.
Whatever Xiao Mo said was right.
If Xiao Mo told him to forge the equipment within four days, then he would definitely craft it on time.
Therefore, after chatting with Xiao Mo, he immediately gathered twenty-five goblins and entered the "Forge Room" to begin the equipment forging work.
Only fifteen goblins were left outside, diligently mining ore and smelting iron essence.
Dou Xiaodou dared not stop for a moment when it came to smelting iron essence, because he knew his big brother needed iron essence!
In Dou Xiaodou's heart at this moment, his own development was not important.
The most important thing was what Xiao Mo entrusted him with. As long as he completed what Xiao Mo arranged, Dou Xiaodou would be incredibly happy!
