Chapter 379: Little White Rabbit, Tidal Surge Core (2)

And the reason they spent their gold coins so quickly was probably because they liked to frequent the Sixth Street area.

That place was known as the gold mine of Maple City. With slightly deeper pockets, one could easily spend hundreds of gold coins in a single night. If one were to order top-shelf items, it would cost at least a thousand gold coins as a starting point.

Therefore, when Ji Chen, under the name of Mr. Zhao, reserved the Cat Tail Tavern for one night, he spent nearly a hundred thousand gold coins. It was a move that would astonish many players for a good reason.

The expenditure of a single night was equivalent to ordering 100 top-shelf items in the Sixth Street area. This was truly staggering.

However, he had no intention of supporting the likes of White Umbrella and similar individuals. There were too many people like her, and he couldn’t possibly support them all. Besides, he had no obligation to do so.

Ji Chen returned to the Cat Tail Tavern, went to the third floor, closed the door to his room, and began to examine the crystal.

From the outside, this crystal appeared beautiful in color and luster, but it didn’t seem to have any other special features.

He narrowed his eyes and examined its panel.

[A Beautifully Colored Crystal]

[Color]: Ice Blue

[Effect]: None

[A crystal that doesn’t appear to be particularly special, perhaps it can be used as a decoration.]

Looking at the information on the panel, Ji Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

Thanks to the system’s consistent accuracy in providing information, he was very certain about this panel information.

However, that didn’t mean it couldn’t be wrong.

Just like when he used the 7-star treasure, the Illusory Mask, his entire appearance underwent a massive change, and even his external panel changed. His name changed from Ji Chen to Zhao Liangchen.

But this didn’t mean the system’s information was incorrect; underneath that appearance, he was indeed Zhao Liangchen.

Therefore, there was such an example.

Ji Chen suspected that this crystal might also have a similar situation.

He extended his spiritual power over it, and that peculiar feeling resurfaced, even stronger than before.

How should he put it?

In terms of appearance, there was a scent of the sea emanating from the crystal, making him, who was already a Tidal Dominator profession, feel quite familiar.

This matched what White Umbrella said, that it was obtained from a small island in the ocean.

After a brief contemplation, Ji Chen decided to take a risky experiment. He tossed the crystal directly onto the ground.

Clang—

The crystal collided with the floor, emitting a dull sound, but it remained undamaged and smooth, as White Umbrella had described.

Physical impact couldn’t break it?

Then let’s try magic.

He picked up the crystal.

With a thought, a strand of mana surged from his palm, enveloping the crystal.

At this moment, a strange scene unfolded.

After being enveloped by mana, the hard crystal began to melt, and the surface layer of hard material turned into splashes of water, gradually revealing what lay inside.

It was a polyhedron with dozens of faces, filled with angles and lines of geometric precision.

The deep blue color exuded a sense of depth, vastness, and mystery. Wisps of tangible energy radiated from it, and at a glance, it was clear that this was no ordinary item.

Ji Chen was astonished. There was actually something hidden inside?

Suppressing his excitement, he looked closely.

[Tidal Surge Core]

[Tier]: Special

[Effect]: Can create a waterless area suitable for terrestrial creatures to live in underwater.

[Range]: 1 kilometer in diameter

[Duration]: Permanent

!!!

The moment he saw the information, he immediately thought of where he could use this Tidal Surge Core.

An area where terrestrial creatures could survive underwater…

If he placed it in a certain underwater location, he could create a temporary living space there. So, if the Crown of the Ocean encountered enemies it couldn’t resist, he could evacuate a batch of residents to this refuge.

Or, it could be used for military purposes, by transferring the entire military recruitment camp here. Even if the enemy breached their territory, they wouldn’t be able to find the recruitment camp, preserving their foundation and allowing them to make a comeback later.

Furthermore, it could also be used as a place for storing supplies…

There were so many possible uses for this Tidal Surge Core.

As long as it was used wisely, it could play a significant role.

Ji Chen happily stowed it away in his backpack, in high spirits.

To think that he had casually gone out and unexpectedly acquired such a valuable treasure. Anyone would be all smiles in his shoes.

With the idea of striking while the iron was hot, Ji Chen left the Cat Tail Tavern once again and continued to stroll through the streets, looking for anything others might have overlooked.

As he leisurely browsed, passing by the spot where White Umbrella had set up her stall earlier, he noticed that she was nowhere to be seen.

Ji Chen didn’t pay it much mind; perhaps she thought this place was too remote and had set up her stall elsewhere.

With great interest, he wandered among the various stalls, wholeheartedly playing the role of an ordinary player.

Along the way, he didn’t sense anything unusual, and there were no more opportunities to find something valuable.

After all, there weren’t that many overlooked treasures lying around.

After some thought, Ji Chen changed his focus.

Next, he wanted to see if he could find a recruitment camp core that met his preferences. Since obtaining the Tyrant Azure Dragon as a unit, it had been a while since a new unit had joined the Crown of the Ocean.

After such a long time, and with increasingly powerful enemies, Ji Chen was no longer interested in third-tier units. At the very least, fourth-tier units were worth his attention.

Although there were external upgrades like the Military Talent Tree that could forcefully increase the tier of units, not every unit was worth investing resources in for advancement.

For example, there was no value in advancing a third-tier unit like the Murloc Ranger, as the Murloc race itself wasn’t particularly impressive, with few skills and average effects.

On the other hand, the Dragon Blood Murlocs, which evolved from Shallow Sea Murlocs through a fortuitous event involving Dragon Blood Crystals, were worth their weight in gold. If it weren’t for the coincidence of evolving into Dragon Blood Murlocs with the Dragon Blood Crystals, Ji Chen would have left them sitting on the bench with the Murloc Rangers.

All in all, the Crown of the Ocean had only a few usable units: the Tyrant Azure Dragon, the Lobster Rider, the Elemental Sea Pixies…

As Ji Chen strolled among the stalls, his eyes were sharp.

Soon, he stopped at a street-side stall specializing in recruitment camp cores.

The stall owner was a young male player, and seeing Ji Chen’s apparent interest, he enthusiastically greeted him.

“Brother, you look like someone with great potential for the future!

Feel free to look around, and if you find a core you like, just let me know. I guarantee the price will satisfy you!”

He started with some flattery to stabilize the customer’s mood.

Ji Chen smiled and casually crouched down, just observing without touching anything.

Players could directly store items in their backpacks, so there was an unwritten rule during transactions that you couldn’t touch the items.

He pointed to one of the recruitment camp cores about the size of a fist and asked, “How much is this core?”

The young player glanced at it and said with a smile, “Brother, you’ve got good taste. This unit is the Water Nymph Archer, a 7-star Tier 2 unit. It’s a ranged damage-dealing unit that can condense water bows and arrows for shooting.

In a water-rich environment, as long as it doesn’t suffer fatal injuries, it can use water to heal itself, without worrying about post-battle healing, unlike human units.”

Hearing this, Ji Chen became somewhat interested. It sounded like it matched the style of units in the Crown of the Ocean.

Seeing his interest, the young player’s face displayed a sly smile. “Besides all that, the Water Nymph Archers have great figures. They’ve got a nice front and a perky backside. Just by their name, you can tell they’re quite ‘wet’.

They can handle the battlefield and the bedroom, you know.”

Ji Chen turned speechless.

Well, well, I didn’t expect a guy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes to come up with these things.

He was quite interested, but not because of the “wet” matter; he hadn’t become so depraved as to be interested in units that way.

This unit did indeed fit well with the shortcomings of the Crown of the Ocean’s units..
