Monsters Are Coming

Chapter 1372 - 357: On the Scientific Harvesting of Fear

"If it’s a micro teleportation array, the space materials needed aren’t much, and the price won’t be too expensive.""How much exactly will it cost?"

"Here’s the deal, you purchase the space materials yourself, I’ll give you a list, and we’ll handle the setup with our Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce team. You just need to pay a 400,000 sacrificial power fee for the labor."

Upon hearing the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce’s offer, Wei Shan felt a pang of heartache.

He had painstakingly saved up 1.39 million sacrificial power over more than half a year, and the labor fee alone would take away nearly one-third of his assets.

It’s said knowledge is wealth, and this is undoubtedly the best proof right now.

But he has no skill and dislikes studying; if he wants to chase his dreams, he has to spend this sacrificial power.

"Okay, let’s go with your plan. Send me the list, and I’ll start purchasing."

"Hold on, I need to calculate the materials needed according to your plan."

At a corner of the Imperial Tomb Village square.

Waiting for the purchase list, Wei Shan closed the private chat dialogue box and summoned the Star Vein interface.

The currently embedded Life Souls are Ink Flame, stone-statue ghost, and Extreme Speed.

He planned to discard all of these Life Souls.

In the future, as he advances through the Summoning System, Fear and Nightmare are the mainstream Life Souls, and the subsequent embedded Life Souls will focus on support and amplification effects.

Fear is a Sixth Generation Soul, with a purchase price of 100,000 sacrificial power points.

Nightmare Soul is of the Fourth Generation, priced at 12,000 sacrificial power points.

The third Life Soul he chooses is primarily for self-protection and support, the Light Shield Soul, and the fourth Life Soul enhances spiritual power endurance, the Lifeforce Inhalation.

After completing decomposition and embedding.

In the allocation of stored evolution points, he directly upgraded the Nightmare Soul to Level 75, which is the core Life Soul of the next plan.

With the remaining evolution points, he upgraded Fear to Level 59, Light Shield to Level 38, Lifeforce Inhalation to Level 50.

Among them, the Fear Life Soul has two growth modes.

One is consuming evolution points to improve Life Soul Level, significantly enhancing the combat power of the summoned Fear Evil Spirit at each stage.

The second growth path advances through Shock Value, allowing for the summoning of stronger systems of Fear Evil Spirits at each stage.

The summoning stream built around the core of the Fear Life Soul mainly unfolds over the second growth path.

The evolution points saved after squatting in the Ah Le Training Camp for over half a year were quickly consumed in short order.

Reallocating the Star Vein, the strength boost brings a significant increase in spiritual power strength.

But this alone isn’t enough.

He immediately headed to Imperial Tomb Village’s functional building: Rule Divine Pillar.

Using the "Divine Transformation" feature, he adjusted the enhancement ratio of the Life Soul attributes to spiritual power (90%) and Qi Blood Strength (10%).

This allocation plan significantly boosts both spiritual power strength and recovery efficiency.

As for the issue of a frail physique, when you’re playing the Summoning System, who needs close combat?

Tasks involving direct confrontation and fighting are naturally handled by the Summoned Beast.

Next up is the performance upgrade of armed vehicles... After upgrading himself from head to toe, Wei Shan received the material list sent by the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.

After closing the chat window, he summoned the Trading House interface to start searching according to the list.

The spiritual materials listed are mostly popular items at the Trading House, with transparent prices, so the listing mode is basically at a fixed price.

The auction mode, due to its time limit impact, is much harder to sell.

Only those niche spiritual materials, or new spiritual materials, utilize the auction mode with a 1% fee deduction.

Space materials are also one of the most expensive foundational commodities at the Trading House.

Following the list for purchase, the sacrificial power number in the balance column dropped rapidly, and before long, 400,000 sacrificial power was spent.

To avoid losing money in transactions, he used the plugin provided by the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce to compare prices throughout the process.

The plugin shows price fluctuation charts of popular items, making it easy to know the exact price at a glance.

For items with short-term price increases, he doesn’t rush to make a move.

By continually refreshing the Trading House interface, there will be players listing at reasonable prices, allowing for direct lock-in and purchase.

This is also the habit of many veteran players.

It’s the reason many items sell out in seconds after listing.

As long as the price is reasonable, spiritual goods sell easily, and many veteran players in need camp out refreshing for purchase.

After purchasing all materials on the list, more than half of the day passed.

Total expenses reached 627,600 sacrificial power.

He transferred these materials directly to the professional team of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce through cross-space transactions.

There’s no need to worry about the other party running off with the materials.

The Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce is a trusted name, with its accumulated reputation solid as a rock.

They quickly replied, stating they would contact him once construction was complete.

Ending the conversation, Wei Shan summoned the forum to start gathering information.

All other issues have been sorted.

Now only the detailed layout plan after entering the Small World is left.

There are three conceptual plans in mind.

The first plan is straightforward and bold.

Upon entering the Small World, find the most bustling and densely populated area of this world to set up a nightmare experience scenario.

Then directly loot the living beings from the wealth leaderboard in this world, using their funds as experience bonuses.

For instance, Challengers who come to experience can earn bonuses based on how many stages of courage challenges they complete in the Nightmare Illusion Realm.

Use cash rewards to drive more Challengers into the venue.

This way, Challengers make money, and he can earn Shock Value from the process, establishing a cycle of profit.

If money runs out, continue looting, and if they refuse, beat them into submission.

As a player, there’s no need to hide one’s identity and lurk behind the scenes; you can solve all problems through brute force.
