“Let’s check the market first,” I decided, and once I said it, a message popped up all of sudden.
[You requested to get access to the market]
[However you have to go through an energy currency check first]
[Be ready]
“Come then,” I didn’t know why I should get prepared, but the next message explained it all.
[Bring forth any item of energy that you see fit to be selected as your currency in the arena]
[Please note: you have to select three currencies to choose one from]
“Three?” I muttered to myself while opening my inventory and started checking things there. “Take this, this, and this,” I took out one green bone, one piece of the god essence, and one energy crystal from my inventory.
[Three items are offered]
The moment this message appeared, the three items I took vanished into bronze dust.
[The evaluation is under progress]
[The evaluation is done]
[These are the three items arranged according to the highest energy to the lowest]
[First: The green bone. Second: The God essence. Third: The energy crystal]
[Do you accept?]
“I accept,” the result came just as expected.
[The green bone is selected as your standard form of currency]
[The system detects the ability of much higher forms of this currency]
[Please when purchasing anything, you can use other higher forms of this currency and the system will evaluate the final price]
[Good luck champion, and may the luck be on your side]
[The market interface will be available now]
Once the last message appeared, an interface opened.
And there I found lots of things in front of my eyes, with each item there had a simple description about it plus the price needed to purchase.
“Dammit! That king must be lying on his back right now and getting his mind and soul ready for the fight!” I knew it would take a long time for me to scan all these things and select what worked best for me.
There were literally everything starting from single upgrade to the spawned soldier arms up to increasing their levels and even increasing their numbers and shortening the duration of their summon.
I found items that would upgrade the walls of my castle, upgrade the defensive towers there, add more towers to my castle area, or add towers to the paths.
I even found weird things called defensive post summon and upgrades, I even found items summoning monsters in forests.
I found lots of things to make my head spin. I lacked the simple understanding of this arena, making me not able to determine what to select and would work best for me.
“Calm down… From what I read here, there are forests and special zones I can control in between the paths,” this was something I concluded after reading all this info.
So the fight could extend beyond the reach of the paths. Would I be able to reach the other castle using the forest way then?
If this was true, then focusing everything over the three paths would be a deadly mistake.
I looked at the market interface and suddenly got some inspiration. Linking all dots together, I could be certain that going through the forest path would be the plan of that king.
So I had to safeguard myself against this.
However… The price tag next to each item made me inwardly sigh. There were items that were sold in tens of thousands of my green bones.
Things like upgrading the gears of the spawned soldiers and elevating the soldier level by one rank worth this much.
But when I turned to the big guns, upgrading the castle defences and towers, adding towers to the paths, summoning monsters in the forests, the price would skyrocket to reach ten million.
And the most effective tools like revealing the fog off the map for thirty seconds would cost like one hundred million!
That was a must have item! Even if it would only allow for the entire map to be revealed for thirty seconds, I still could determine the whereabouts of that king and deduct his future moves.
Then there was that silence item, which would stop any forces of the enemy from moving or fighting for ten seconds.
It also cost one hundred million green bones of mine. Ten seconds might be a very short duration, but it was enough to turn the tide over in such a fierce battle.
Then it came down to summoning posts and upgrading them in the forest.
To summon a single post, I had to pay fifty million green bones. And according to the description, I got no upper limit for such purchases.
This was a sly move from the system. Like this I wouldn’t know how many available areas to summon the posts at in the map.
In addition to that, upgrading a single post for one rank would cost ten million green bones, and there were only ten ranks available for the towers, walls, and posts.
So that meant for each post, I would pay up to one hundred and fifty green bones to get one summoned and upgraded to the full level.
I looked up at all these items and found little I missed. There were items to add magic soldiers in the spawning ones. This one would cost me twenty million bones.
Then there was the option of adding flying soldiers as well, and this cost me fifty million green bones.
I looked at my inventory and felt little regret. I just paid tons of my green bones to Silverlining for my deal before coming here.
“Sigh, I have to use other bones then,” as I decided to go out, I started to take my higher grade bones and tried a few out.
The blue bone was equal to ten green ones. The silver bone was equal to fifty green bones. The gold bone was exchanged for two hundred green bones. And the dark gold bone was worth five hundred green bones.
Then black bone could be exchanged by one thousand green bones, and the red bone was equal to five thousand.
