Chapter 349: Gold Coins Missing! The Identity of Rika!

TL: YYang

What did heartache mean?

It was the first time Chen Bai had felt such a thing, and the source of this feeling wasn’t anything else, but the result of the missing gold coins!

Chen Bai had never cared about gold coins from the beginning.

White Emperor City had an endless influx of gold coins, with evolutionaries constantly challenging the dungeon creatures controlled by White Emperor City. Such challenges required a portion to be paid to the city.

This was a huge source of income. Not to mention, White Emperor City’s copper coins for entry and several dungeon splits in copper coins. All of these were tangible money!

Therefore, after several months since the arrival of the apocalypse, Chen Bai’s gold coins had accumulated to over a hundred thousand.

However, these tens of thousands of gold coins had now been reduced by as much as five thousand!

Within the power of greed, every 100 gold coins could be permanently exchanged for a single point of all attributes.

And every day, the power of greed could permanently increase up to 50 points of all attributes, requiring 5000 gold coins.

Five thousand gold coins for fifty points of all attributes—this condition, for most people, wasn’t about whether they were willing to part with it, but rather that they simply didn’t have that many gold coins.

But Chen Bai knew that the consumption of gold coins was really not something to be concerned about.

The real valuable thing was this direct increase in power.

Therefore, despite feeling heartache for the first time, Chen Bai’s focus shifted to how he could earn gold coins more quickly.

Gold coins were a universal currency that could be used in all realms, under the cosmic will, and even among the gods.

It also had its corresponding rules, and consuming gold coins to exchange for power was itself the power of greed.

In such a case, how to obtain large quantities of gold coins? Apart from selling precious bloodlines, Chen Bai couldn’t think of any other particularly good methods. There was one more option worth mentioning: the additional ability of the Golden Hand.

Turning stones into gold, monsters slain, and equipment obtained could all be turned into gold coins through this alchemy technique.

However, at this moment, even if Chen Bai could kill monsters and turn them into gold coins through this method, the amount wouldn’t be much, and those high-level items—unless he had lost his mind—he wouldn’t turn them into gold coins.

Rubbing his temples, Chen Bai could only shift his gaze to the leeks of White Emperor City.

The God and Devil Trial Grounds was the greatest opportunity.

Countless evolutionaries would receive the greatest boosts in strength within the God and Devil Trial Grounds.

Naturally, the gold coins were also the same.

Currently, many evolutionaries in White Emperor City had quite valuable worth.

How to harvest them well was a problem.

With this thought, Chen Bai’s spirit suddenly revived.

Electricity, factories, potions, equipment, assembly lines, and the reapplication of electrical devices!

These were all ways to earn money!

On top of that, there were still undiscovered and undeveloped secret realms.

Increasing investment in this area, developing more dungeons—just as Song Ziqiong had said earlier, there were hundreds of thousands of evolutionaries in this city, with many evolutionary families. Naturally, the gold coins would only increase.

However, income always required expenditure.

Chen Bai’s gold coin income naturally couldn’t rely solely on White Emperor City.

He also needed to trade with Redo and sell high-level items in the auction of Group Chat No. 001. These were all excellent channels.

Looking at the dark sky outside, a faint glow of dawn appeared on the horizon.

Chen Bai didn’t rush into action.

Even though it was still early in the morning, Group Chat No. 001 was still bustling.

Apart from discussing the earlier events involving Liu Huai, the topic now was the current leaderboard.

Chen Bai also took a look.

That Anthony’s job change—Chen Bai didn’t even know how he managed it.

But it was obvious that this Shapeshifter Sovereign had probably encountered some strange adventures, different from his previous life.

Of course, a mere S-rank class wasn’t something Chen Bai needed to focus on.

At this moment, Chen Bai’s attention, along with the others in the group, was on the changes in the number one spot!

Rika!

This little girl had indeed come from hell to Blue Star.

The real question was how the Goddess of the Blood Moon would react after discovering Rika’s true identity.

Then there was the arrival of Astaroth.

[Liu King: Speaking of which, why hasn’t White Emperor’s level improved much recently? Although he leveled up in the Demon-Sealing Pagoda today, he’s still only level 23. He has to take back the number one spot!]

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: What do you know, what does level mean? When have true experts not fought above their level? Level is just a formality. No one on Blue Star can be White Emperor’s opponent!]

[Shui Chuan: You’re right… ]

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: I can only say, those who understand, understand. Only after coming into contact with some of White Emperor’s secrets do I know how his strength really compares to everyone else’s. There’s an enormous gap between him and all the evolutionaries, including you and me!]

[Sword Immortal: The riddle master is back!]

[Your Han King: What’s the secret, just say it!]

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: I already told you, those who understand, understand. Those who don’t, won’t. Don’t ask. The stakes are too high, saying it would do you no good. I can only say the water is very deep…]

[Your Han King: Ha! Get lost!]

[Your Han King: Seriously, I can’t tell if this Rika is a man or a woman. How come they’re so impressive?]

[Bai: She’s a woman.]

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: !!!]

[Sword Immortal: Does White Emperor know her? Could she be someone from White Emperor City?]

[Bai: Not exactly, but I have met her before. Not just me, some people in the group know her!]

[Crow: What the hell?]

[Your Han King: Wait, I really feel like this name is familiar.]

[Bai: Yes, it should be familiar. She’s the girl who went to become the new bride of hell in the task you did last time.]

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: WHAT?!]

[Sword Immortal: WHAT?!]

[Crow: WHAT?! +1]

[……]

…

Deep waters mean that there’s a lot to something. More than meets the eyes.
