"Prepare lunch—we're doing something big this afternoon," Lin Chen ordered.
After spending the whole morning together, the two girls had grown quite close to him.
Jia Lou leaned in curiously, her eyes shining: "What big thing, my lord? Tell me!"
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "It's a secret for now—you'll find out this afternoon."
Jia Lou pouted, but obediently stepped away.
Lin Chen then took out all the resources he had collected during the morning's exploration.
He opened all the treasure chests that needed opening.
The final tally of items and resources was as follows:
Basic resources: 1.203 million
Food: 8,560
Bronze-grade equipment ×5
Silver-Grade Equipment ×3
Gold-grade equipment ×3
Tier 1 orc troop [Goblin]
Tier 2 magical beast troop [Venomous Spider]
Subject Refresh Card ×2
Resource Point Transfer Scroll ×3
Gathering Speed-up Scroll ×3
Equipment Enhancement Stones ×150
Skill Stones ×50
Various other materials.
After reviewing the haul, Lin Chen kept the troops and equipment he could use.
Next, he selected a batch of items and troops he planned to sell:
Bronze-grade equipment ×6
Silver-Grade Equipment ×3
Gold-grade equipment ×3
Platinum-grade Equipment: [Celestial Rain Robe], [Shadow Stinger]
The two Platinum-grade items were of no use to Lin Chen, Jia Lou, or Ina—the robe was for Priests, the stinger a weapon for Assassins.
He decided to sell them.
Of course, he could've kept them for future heroes, but after thinking it over, Lin Chen dismissed that idea.
Rather than hoard them, it was better to sell while the price was high.
As for other heroes, he wasn't worried—equipment in Era of Lords wasn't that hard to acquire.
If needed, he'd just farm again later.
Right now, the priority was earning money for recharging.
Then came the troops:
Tier 1 troop: [Goblin]
Tier 2 troops: [Venomous Spider], [Greatblade Troll], [Spearman]
Tier 3 troop: [Troll Bowmaster]
Tier 4 troop: [Shadow Wolf]
Six total—including one Tier 3 and one Tier 4 troop.
That's right—this time, Lin Chen was going big.
He was listing Tier 3 and Tier 4 troops—the current top-end units in the entire game.
It would surely send the Era of Lords hype to unprecedented heights.
Of course, Lin Chen was careful not to overdo it.
Tier 3 and Tier 4 troops, at this stage, were extremely rare.
If he sold too many, it would be arming future enemies, players who would eventually compete with him for resources.
As for anything beyond Tier 4—even if Lin Chen had it, he wouldn't sell it.
Simple reason—he needed to control how fast others progressed.
People are inherently selfish.
Sure, Lin Chen was willing to lift Bluestar players during the great fusion of Era of Lords two years later...
But he wasn't about to give everything away.
He was going to be the one who stood above all others.
Only by maintaining that lead could he gather the most resources
and become the strongest Lord.
With everything prepared, Lin Chen opened the market interface and began listing items.
Bronze-grade equipment: ￥50,000
Silver-Grade Equipment: ￥100,000
Gold-grade equipment: ￥500,000
Platinum-grade equipment: ￥1.5 million
Then came the troops:
Tier 1 [Goblin]: ￥300,000
Tier 2 (each): ￥3 million
Tier 3: ￥10 million
Tier 4: ￥20 million
These were the system-assigned prices.
Since Tier 3 and 4 troops were appearing for the first time, and were absolute top-tier, their prices were high.
Meanwhile, the price of Tier 2 troops had started to drop—supply was increasing. Nothing could be done about that.
So…
With everything set, Lin Chen hit the Confirm to List button.
The very next second, the Evernight Shop rang with transaction notifications.
"Qing Qiong purchased your Tier 4 troop [Shadow Wolf], cost: ￥20 million."
"Lonely Vanquisher purchased your Tier 3 troop [Troll Bowmaster], cost: ￥10 million."
"Qing Qiong purchased your Platinum-grade equipment, cost: ￥1.5 million."
"Skyfish purchased your..."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
In less than thirty seconds, every single troop, every piece of equipment had been snatched clean.
Lin Chen was left staring at an empty storefront.
He was stunned.
Holy crap, that fast?!
He opened the X Country Chat Channel—and quickly saw why.
"Damn, are you guys single for a hundred years? How the hell are you so fast?!"
"Hahaha, unexpected surprise! Didn't expect Evernight to restock now. Got a Tier 2 troop—so satisfying!"
"I didn't get a troop, but I scored a Platinum piece! Feels amazing!"
"What the hell? How did you do it? I just got the notification!"
"Follow Evernight's shop! You get notified the moment items go live!"
"WTF! You can do that?!"
"No doubt. I'm following him right now!"
Reading the chat, Lin Chen realized the truth—
These buyers had subscribed to his shop.
That's why they got instant alerts when he listed items.
He had completely overlooked that feature.
Now, when he checked the shop status...
Sure enough, the number of followers was skyrocketing.
It had already surpassed 500 million.
That meant 500 million players had subscribed to Evernight's shop.
It shot his shop's visibility to #1 in the marketplace rankings, making it the most prominent listing of all.
Just as he was about to close the market tab, Lin Chen noticed several message notifications in his mailbox.
This was a function available only to those who had completed a transaction with him—meant for post-sale support and follow-ups.
He opened it and found it full of friend requests.
Qing Qiong: "Greetings, Lord Evernight. I am the Lord of Phoenix Pavilion. May I add you as a friend?"
Briar Rose: "Let's be friends~ If you've got more great stuff next time, give me a heads-up. I'll pay top dollar."
Max Gallop: "Hey, got any more troops? I'll buy however many you've got."
