While the group members discussed Recluse Study’s behavior, Lin Yuan took the risk and posted a message.
Deep Mountain Elder Lin: “Looked at the time and realized that the auction for group welfare will begin in ten minutes.”
Lin Yuan’s message rescued Recluse Study.
Lin Yuan once again witnessed the power of the fan club of Purchase With No Loss store’s broken record.
After seeing line after line of messages saying that the group admin was showing off, Lin Yuan felt that he should offer something up.
Moreover, the more that Lin Yuan offered, the more he earned.
Deep Mountain Elder Lin: “I had some business to attend to and was delayed for two days. As such, I’ll make it up to all of you by offering a bonus. I’ll be throwing in two more heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.”
Lin Yuan’s bonus immediately garnered enthusiastic responses.
I’m Your Fairy: “Group admin is the best!”
Old Black Crow: “Throwing in two heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls after two days? Group admin is so thoughtful!”
Amber Button: “Even if the group admin adds two more, I still can’t afford it. I’ll just have to watch as the bigshots fight over them.”
The sight of the group members’ vigorous responses made Lin Yuan feel all the more embarrassed for having delayed the group welfare auction by two days.
After pondering for a while, Lin Yuan posted another message.
Deep Mountain Elder Lin: “The ten fire-elemental heavenly-maiden-grade pearls had a purity of about 9.8. I’ll now be switching those with 12 elemental pearls with a purity of about 9.9. I won’t be specifying the elemental energy of these elemental pearls. The people who join the auction can decide for themselves if they want them to be of the water, wind, earth, or fire element.
The eyelids of the Creation Masters in the group immediately started to twitch after seeing Lin Yuan’s message.
The eyelids of the two Class 4 Creation Masters in the fan club twitched the most fiercely.
Only Class 4 Creation Masters would know how difficult it was to nurture heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with 9.9 purity.
Shortly after he mentioned the 9.8 purity heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, many people in the group were shocked by how high of a quality of fire-elemental pearls the group admin had put out.
Now, he was offering 9.9 purity elemental pearls instead.
Besides being startled by Lin Yuan’s generous offer, those who were preparing to enter the auction quickly started to get their chips ready.
Although both 9.8 purity and 9.9 purity heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were considered to be of the highest quality, and they even had similar usages to the 9.5 purity elemental pearls, 9.9 purity elemental pearls were priceless collectibles.
The Class 4 Creation Master Duan Li also happened to be reading the group chat.
Master Duan Li had helped Zhou Luo to nurture the Iron Bone Tearing Lizard. She knew that the Iron Bone Tearing Lizard needed five fire-elemental heavenly-maiden-grade pearls to activate its evolution.
This would enable the earth-type fey to evolve into a fire-type fey.
She had met Zhou Luo in the Purchase With No Loss store, and Zhou Luo had said that the Iron Bone Tearing Lizard was now fine.
The Purchase With No Loss store already held a high place in Master Duan Li’s heart.
But the moment that Lin Yuan offered the 10 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, Master Duan Li elevated the Purchase With No Loss store even further.
Lin Yuan had changed the offer to the 9.9 purity heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls as compensation for pushing the group welfare auction back.
It suddenly struck Master Duan Li how this humble store had already managed to wrap a fair number of veteran factions around their fingers. The Purchase With No Loss store had already secured the most influence.
Master Duan Li felt that letting 9.9 purity heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls go was a huge stab to oneself.
This was true group welfare.
Being a Class 4 Creation Master, Master Duan Li did not often speak in the group. However, this time she could not hold back and ask.
Duan Li: “Group admin, can we be assured that no matter which of the four elements we choose, the elemental pearls will all be 9.9 purity?”
Master Duan Li had voiced the question that was in almost all of the group members’ minds.
Lin Yuan earnestly replied to the question.
Deep Mountain Elder Lin: “Since it’s welfare, they all have to be the same. Thus, I can guarantee that no matter which element you decide on, they will all be 9.9 purity. This will also eliminate the issue of you guys ending up with an incompatible elemental pearl.”
Lin Yuan’s response put an idea in the minds of almost all the group members.
Why did the group admin’s seemingly polite message come off as arrogant and pretentious?
Only an idiot would trade away elemental pearls with 9.9 purity.
When elemental pearls reached 9.9 purity, another layer of pearl would form around the exterior.
These pearl-in-a-pearls were a rare collectible whose softness and beauty was unmatched.
The pearl cover over every 9.9 purity elemental pearl was unique, making each elemental pearl one of its kind.
This meant that an equally valuable collectible needed to be offered in order to trade for the 9.9 purity heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.
Master Duan Li took a sharp intake of breath. From Lin Yuan’s tone, she could tell that Lin Yuan had a large number of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls on hand.
It would be no problem for her to shelve out 20 of them.
Initially, Master Duan Li was rational about the offer of the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, but now that she confirmed they were 9.9 purity, she knew that she had to shoot her shot.
Master Duan Li was conflicted over her dilemma.
Should I take out the treasure I’ve been hiding away and use it to trade?
Lin Yuan watched as his new announcement sent the group members into a frenzy. Even Recluse Study seemed to be very excited.
Lin Yuan mentioned Recluse Study.
Deep Mountain Elder Lin: “@Recluse Study Is your uncle’s surname Duan?”
Lin Yuan’s random message rendered the group chat speechless.
Shortly after, Recluse Study popped up and asked in surprise.
Recluse Study: “Damn! @Deep Mountain Elder Lin, did you become a psychic in the last two days?”
Recluse Study’s reaction confirmed Lin Yuan’s guess.
Recluse Study’s uncle was none other than Duan He.
Recluse Study was mentioning Lin Yuan continuously and was asking him how he knew.
Lin Yuan’s lip curled upward, but he did not answer Recluse Study’s question because he was already sure that Recluse Study’s uncle was Duan He.
