“You guys don’t have to worry too much about obtaining resources.”
Lin Huang looked at them and calmly told them about the virtual realm.
“From now on, I’ll send three of you into the virtual realm each day to hunt Voids and obtain Origin Energy. You can absorb the Origin Energy you obtain if you deem it suitable for you. If it’s not suited to you, you can swap it with others.”
“As there’ll be three in a group each time, you guys can come up with your own teams. Also, I’ve given the slots today to Bai, Charcoal and Grimace. The second team that will go tomorrow will be Lancelot’s team.”
“Therefore, after all the teams have entered once, you guys will follow the current order in the future to enter for the second, third cycles…”
“If one of the team members of the team that’s supposed to go in has an emergency or cannot make it, you guys can discuss with the other teams to propose a change in the order of entry. Of course, the member who had something come up must communicate with the other two members to reach an agreement beforehand.”
“Also, I’ll inform all of you in advance if I need to use the virtual realm. The team that is supposed to go in will have to delay their turn to the next day.”
“You guys can ask Bai, Charcoal and Grimace regarding the exact situation regarding the virtual realm.”
“You guys can discuss the swapping of Origin Energy too.”
“Lastly, I want to tell you something that might upset you guys a little. I’ll be taking 30% of the Origin Energy you guys obtain in the virtual world.” Lin Huang mentioned the distribution ratio after explaining the rules roughly. “I’ll tell you the reasons why I’m taking a portion.”
“Firstly, you guys are actually taking up my hunting slots to enter the virtual realm. If I didn’t give you the slots, I could go into the virtual realm three times a day. Not only that, my hunting efficiency is much higher than yours.”
“Secondly, Xiao Hei requires a huge amount of Origin Energy to make all sorts of cards, which includes the accumulated energy required to create the higher level Advance Cards later on. Most of my share of the Origin Energy will eventually be used on you guys.”
“My personal suggestion to you guys would be that, after you’ve obtained Origin Energy from the hunt, you should consider prioritizing keeping the Origin Energy that suits you and the Origin Energy that’s suitable for swapping. Let me handle the Origin Energy that’s not suitable for trading.”
Indeed, Lin Huang suggested taking a share from them because, after giving these slots to enter the virtual realm to the imperial monsters, it would mean that Xiao Hei would lose its source of Origin Energy replenishment.
After taking that into consideration, Lin Huang had been repeatedly thinking about a solution and eventually decided to “exploit” the portion of the deficit from his imperial monsters.
Most of the imperial monsters were quite dumbstruck when they heard about the arrangement in the beginning.
It was not that they were unwilling. It was just that they did not understand why Lin Huang would suddenly come up with such an arrangement.
However, they thought it made perfect sense after hearing his explanation.
“I have a tiny request before you all start teaming up.” Lin Huang’s lips curled into a smirk. “I need all of you here to provide me with a drop of your blood essence.”
Lin Huang did not elaborate on this matter any further.
Although they did not understand why exactly Lin Huang wanted their blood essence all of a sudden, none of them objected. They went forward one by one to provide their blood essence.
Bloody did not ask when she saw that Lin Huang was unwilling to tell them the reason. She went forward as well to give her blood essence.
Lin Huang only spoke again after gathering all of the imperial monsters’ blood essence, “Alright. That’s all I have to say. All of you can pick your teams now. Report your teams to Bloody when you’re done.”
“Regarding the order of teams going into the virtual realm, let’s follow the sequential numbering of the teams. Bai’s team will be No. 1, and Lancelot’s will be No. 2. Whichever team that reports to Bloody first will be No. 3. That’ll be the order.”
Lin Huang came up with such an arrangement with the goal of preventing them from wasting too much time picking their teams.
Although it did not actually make much difference by nature if it was done a few days earlier or later, everyone would have been occupied with thoughts of fighting for the first place. They were unwilling to be placed further behind in the sequence.
Within five minutes, all of them had come up with their teams.
Bloody had also given the sorted list to Lin Huang.
He listed down the sequence and dates and made the information public to indicate his fairness.
All of the teams jotted down the dates their team would be going into the virtual realm instantly.
“You guys can stay in the Demon Eye Star Zone for the time being. You can do whatever you want as long as you make it back in time to enter the virtual realm officially.”
Lin Huang gave them their freedom after he was done speaking.
The imperial monsters surrounded Bai, Charcoal and Grimace immediately and began to ask about the virtual realm.
Lin Huang flashed and returned to the Great Heaven Palace.
The first thing he did when he returned to the Great Heaven Palace was to adjust the time flow. He then sat with his legs crossed and dripped the blood essence onto the Goldfinger Pure Golden Blood one by one.
The function of the Pure Golden Blood was to absorb different varieties of creatures’ blood and extract their energy to strengthen the host’s physical body.
The more types of blood that were integrated, and the higher the rank and combat strength of the creatures, the better the effect of strengthening his physical body.
The quantity of blood did not really matter, as the Pure Golden Blood only needed a drop of blood to extract its primary substance. After doing that, it could duplicate the substance on its own.
Lin Huang had already thought about how he would use it as soon as he obtained the Goldfinger earlier.
After all, he had many imperial monsters under him. Although Bai and the rest only had lower-rank lord-level combat strength, their current rank was Pure Spirit rank-6.
The nutrients in their blood essence might have surpassed many ultimate-rank Lords.
As Lin Huang expected, after the Pure Golden Blood absorbed the first drop of blood essence, his physical strength began to undergo a new round of strengthening.
The level of his peak upper-rank Lord’s physical body began to loosen.
After absorbing the third drop of blood essence, Lin Huang’s physical strength finally broke through again, stepping into the realm of ultimate-rank Lord.
As the Pure Golden Blood continued absorbing the blood essences, Lin Huang’s physical strength skyrocketed.
In the end, after absorbing all of the blood essences, his physical strength grew to peak ultimate-rank lord-level, just shy of the upper limit.
Initially, physical strength had been his biggest shortcoming. However, his physical strength had now surpassed the strength of his God’s soul.
In reality, this result was not really what Lin Huang had expected.
He initially thought that, even if he absorbed all of the blood essences, the physical strength boost coming from the Pure Golden Blood would be limited. After all, Bai and the rest only had the combat strength of lower-rank Lords. He had previously estimated that it would be good enough if his physical strength could break through to ultimate-rank Lord. He did not anticipate that he would break through all the way to peak ultimate-rank Lord at all.
“This round of strengthening is pretty great.” Lin Huang was very satisfied with the overall results that far exceeded his expectations.
The truth had proved that the Goldfinger Pure Golden Blood’s effect was much more powerful than he initially thought.
Under the accelerated time flow in the Great Heaven Palace, merely a moment had passed before Lin Huang returned to the Demon Eye Star Zone.
The imperial monsters were still surrounding Bai’s team to ask about all sorts of information regarding the virtual realm.
Lin Huang was the only one who knew that he had become much more powerful after that fleeting moment in time.
As the disparity between the imperial monsters’ abilities and his were too vast, they did not sense any changes from him at all.
