Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

Chapter 198: A Duel

The spoon sweets were made with dozens of different Silver ingredients mixed with the Gold Elder Maple’s maple syrup. It was a kind of extremely nutritious pre-meal dessert.

Liu Jie took the tea from Lin Yuan and said, “Lin Yuan, I’ve already received the invitation to the private auction that I mentioned previously. It will be held at seven o’clock in the evening three days later on the third floor of the Rare Lifeform Pavilion.”

Lin Yuan nodded and asked, “Has news of the source-type creatures spread?”

Liu Jie nodded solemnly and said, “The reason why the private auction is held is that two of the five members of this king-class team have comprehended a Willpower Rune in a Class 3 dimensional rift. In order to gather resources to exchange for high-grade feys that are suited to one’s Willpower Rune, I heard that a total of three source-types items will be put on auction.”

Liu Jie’s words immediately piqued Lin Yuan’s interest.

Lin Yuan had thought that there would only be one source-type item at this private auction.

It was normal to use source-type items as an attraction to promote this private auction.

However, he never expected that this private auction would auction off a total of three source-type items.

Lin Yuan thought that even if he couldn’t obtain the source-type items that could provide him protection, at the very least, he could see if any spiritual energy items were suitable for the additional Willpower Rune in his spiritual energy.

As for this king-class team, others might not be able to produce Bronze feys with high quality, but for Lin Yuan, it was just a piece of cake.

Since the king-class team had chosen to auction these three source-type items, it meant that the conditions for the contract were not compatible with the king-class team.

However, the conditions of contracting each source-type creature were completely different.

These three source-type items weren’t compatible with the king-class team, but they weren’t necessarily incompatible with others. Lin Yuan wasn’t too worried about this.

After lunch, Lin Yuan returned to his room.

Just as he was about to log in to Star Web, Lin Yuan’s phone rang.

Lin Yuan picked up the call when he saw that it was from Zhang Xiaobai.

The moment he picked up the phone, Lin Yuan heard Zhang Xiaobai say:

“Black, do you have any exclusive reporters from Star Web?”

When Lin Yuan heard Zhang Xiaobai address him in that manner, he knew that it had something to do with his identity as Black.

If he called him in private, Zhang Xiaobai would directly call him Lin Yuan.

After hearing Zhang Xiaobai’s words, Lin Yuan probably knew that it was because he had set up an automatic rejection of everybody on Star Web.

Star Web couldn’t contact him, but they knew that he was familiar with Zhang Xiaobai and the others because of the battle outside Millstone Town. Thus, they sought him out through Zhang Xiaobai and the others via the Extreme Guild Club.

“I don’t have any exclusive reporters, but I don’t accept any interviews. It’s too troublesome.”

Zhang Xiaobai strongly agreed with him and said, “I think so too. Interviews are too troublesome.”

At that moment, Lin Yuan heard Zhang Xiaobai exclaim right on the heels of Xin Ying taking the phone.

“Lin Yuan, I’m Xin Ying. You’ve already started the advancement matches for the Celestial Stairway. After you get on the Celestial Stairway, there will be recordings of your Star Web Tower battles in the Star Web Tower’s video library. An exclusive reporter isn’t just doing interviews, but is also responsible for all the news articles and combat reports related to you.”

Xin Ying said it very seriously.

This was because there were less than 300 special columnists in the Star Web Tower.

If Lin Yuan could have such a Star Web column reporter and have them become an exclusive reporter, it would undoubtedly help his future development.

Furthermore, with an exclusive reporter, it could reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble for Lin Yuan.

Xin Ying treated Lin Yuan as a friend, so she naturally had to consider many things from his perspective.

Xin Ying was a carefree person, but she was also meticulous, so she didn’t want Lin Yuan to suffer from missing opportunities.

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, “Sister Ying, help me reply to that Star Web reporter. I’ll contact them on Star Web in a few days.”

When Xin Ying heard that, she said, “The column reporter for Star Web is called Tian Ningning. I’ll tell her to wait a while. When the time comes, if you and Tian Ningning have any requests you find disagreeable when discussing private, just reject them. Choose your exclusive reporter. The decision of the conditions is in your hands.”

Xin Ying was previously afraid that Lin Yuan would miss the opportunity.

But now, Xin Ying was afraid that Lin Yuan would be at a disadvantage when discussing the exclusive reporter contract with Tian Ningning.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but give a knowing smile.

In the life-and-death battle under Millstone Town, perhaps Lin Yuan’s greatest gain was four friends who had experienced life and death with him.

During the conversation he had with Xin Ying on the phone just now, Lin Yuan could sense that Xin Ying was concerned and considerate for him.

Lin Yuan didn’t care much about the matter regarding an exclusive reporter.

However, since this Star Web column reporter named Tian Ningning had gone all the way to the Extreme Guild Club, she had already shown her sincerity.

Putting aside the matter of signing the contract, it was not a big problem to discuss it on Star Web.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan logged into Star Web.

Lin Yuan was already prepared for the Celestial Stairway advancement match. This was likely the biggest challenge since he had started climbing the tower.

When Lin Yuan arrived at the advancement zone, which was over 100 levels in Star Web Tower, he directly did a match-up.

There were a total of three rounds in the advancement match in Star Web Tower. Lin Yuan only needed to win two rounds to directly ascend the Celestial Stairway.

Soon, Lin Yuan was matched to his opponent.

Lin Yuan took a look at the other party’s information and couldn’t help but feel that the Wang Shuai he had met before couldn’t be considered a Liver Emperor.

The person called Chen Hongfeng was the true Liver Emperor.

Lin Yuan was observing Chen Hongfeng’s Star Web battle results, while Chen Hongfeng was also observing Lin Yuan’s results.

Chen Hongfeng couldn’t help but curse.

“You’re Black! How did you achieve a 100% win rate? Have you never climbed Star Tower before?”

With that said, Chen Hongfeng looked up and said to the air, “Hey guys, I’ve encountered Black. Boss, I’ve encountered Black! This is awesome!”

At that moment, in the meeting room of the Dragon Gate Guild Club, Long Tao asked the bowl-cut Fang Duoduo, “Duoduo, who’s Black? Why is Little Feng so agitated?”

Fang Duoduo, who was chewing on his chewing gum, couldn’t help but roll his eyes when he heard Long Tao.

Boss, how long has it been since you went on Star Web to read the forums? Now, how many people who browse the forums on Star Web wouldn’t know about Black?

However, Fang Duoduo naturally didn’t say those words. Therefore, he chose his words carefully.
