C13 He Had Obtained Hundreds of Thousands of Spirit Coins!

In the chatroom, the sale of Black Scaled Snakes sparked a fiery debate.

Many were green with envy and harbored resentment.

It was a common reaction. Had someone else been the protagonist in the snake meat sale, he would have felt the same mix of envy and resentment.

He got where they were coming from.

Zhou Yan was gearing up to list more wild rabbit meat for spirit coins when a friend request popped up, leaving him baffled.

This Lord was no ordinary player—she managed to send him a friend request.

She must have used some mysterious artifact to do so.

Zhou Yan wavered over rejecting the Lord's request.

He wasn't one to make hasty decisions.

He was a man of principle.

He didn't just say yes to anyone.

But upon seeing the name of her territory, Zhou Yan didn't hesitate to accept her friend request.

Territory notification: "You have successfully added Divine Dragon Country's Lord's army, #9527 Battle Team, Qin Yao as a friend."

This individual was from the Divine Dragon Country.

Not just anyone could use that prefix; it was certified by the Overlord Space.

Consider it an official seal of approval.

With such a symbol, it was clear proof of national affiliation.

He'd always heard that the Lord Trials were essentially international contests.

The international rankings' top 100 members would receive valuable rewards, and those on the list were Lords carefully cultivated by various nations.

Independent Lords hardly stood a chance at these international rewards.

Such prizes came from either national militaries or powerful financial conglomerates.

Lone Lords couldn't compete with those backed by nations.

He had been skeptical, having only heard rumors and never witnessing it firsthand.

Now, seeing was believing.

Her friend message read, "Hello, I'm Qin Yao from the Divine Dragon Country's Lord's army."

Zhou Yan responded, "Hello, are you interested in buying this snake meat?"

Qin Yao's friend request was surely not without purpose.

After reading his message, Qin Yao replied with slight surprise, "Yes, I will buy each piece of snake meat for 1,500 spirit coins and ensure you won't be at a loss."

Zhou Yan hastily replied, "I'm out of snake meat; it's all sold."

Qin Yao expressed her disappointment, having missed the trading hall's update. She messaged back, "No worries. If you come across any other good items, let me know right away."

Zhou Yan offered, "I do have wild rabbits and roosters, if you're interested?"

Qin Yao was about to end the conversation when she paused at his message, taken aback.

She hadn't expected Zhou Yan to have such goods.

If her territory hadn't been plagued by undead creatures, she wouldn't have needed to purchase food. Plus, she only had one item that could add friends directly.

Adding other teammates who lacked food would have been a waste of the item's function.

She preferred to use her spirit coins to buy from Zhou Yan rather than add him as a teammate because they had enough coins to secure a spot on the leaderboard.

Upon learning Zhou Yan still had food for sale, she quickly replied, "Yes!"

"Can you handle the quantity? I have quite a bit," Zhou Yan inquired.

"I'll take as much as you have," Qin Yao assured.

"Great. Wild rabbits and roosters are 1,010 spirit coins each," Zhou Yan stated, rounding up the price so that after fees, he'd net exactly 1,000 coins per animal.

Qin Yao was pleasantly surprised, expecting a higher price, but Zhou Yan didn't inflate it.

He could have made more in the International Trade Hall, but he chose not to.

"Thanks. If you ever need help in the future, reach out. I'll assist if I can," she offered, her respect for Zhou Yan growing.

She believed his actions were influenced by her military status.

"We'll see," he replied noncommittally.

After setting aside two chickens, Zhou Yan listed the remaining wild rabbits and roosters.

She speculated that Zhou Yan had ventured outside his territory to hunt monsters, and his luck was good—the creatures nearby were weak.

"He's quite daring," Qin Yao remarked.

For a New Overlord to venture outside on the first day was bold indeed.

Without the substantial resources from her nation, Qin Yao wouldn't have risked it.

Alas, her luck was poor. Despite awakening an orange legend Overlord Space, she found herself in a realm of the undead.

Moreover, she had summoned a troop of Dragon Knights with voracious appetites, making her need for food all the more pressing.

She was astounded by the number of wild monsters listed for trade.

"So many!"

She wondered if the Heavenly Court Overlord was the product of a major domestic conglomerate.

However, she found the idea inconceivable. If that were true, he certainly wouldn't be selling food.

This suggested that the individual was either very powerful or had summoned an exceptionally strong hero.

"Perhaps he's just a lucky fellow," Qin Yao mused with a smile, confirming the transaction.

"Okay."

Zhou Yan had no objections.

Having another friend was always beneficial.

And having a friend in the military was certainly not a disadvantage.

Territory Notification: "You have successfully completed a transaction with Qin Yao, a member of the Divine Dragon Country's 9527th army squad, and have received 33,000 spirit coins."

Qin Yao was about to wrap up the chat when Zhou Yan sent another message: "By the way, do you need any stone?"

"Stones?" Qin Yao was even more astonished.

It was only the first day of the newcomer's trial!

Zhou Yan had already acquired stone on day one. Could this guy be the son of fortune?

Where on earth did he get the stones from?

"I definitely need stone. I'll buy as much as you have!" Qin Yao quickly responded.

"There's not a lot. I have only 2240 One-star Stones, 117 Two-star Stones, and 28 Three-star Stones. Are you sure you can take them all off my hands?" Zhou Yan replied.

Qin Yao was at a loss for words.

This guy must have incredibly high luck.

He must have stumbled upon an abandoned stone mine.

"Right, how much are you charging for the stones?"

"Let's go with the market rate."

After negotiating, they both agreed on a price that left them satisfied.

Zhou Yan successfully raked in a whopping 300,000 spirit coins.

Furthermore, this would aid Qin Yao in developing her territory, essentially contributing to the nation.

Even though wood and stone weren't required for territory construction during the trial period, using them to build walls could bolster the territory's defenses, significantly enhancing its security.

The monsters later on would not be so easy to fend off. If the walls weren't sturdy, they could easily be toppled.

"Make sure to let me know first if you come across any more good items in the future."

Qin Yao's curiosity about Zhou Yan had been thoroughly piqued. Having such a partner was immensely advantageous for her territory.

At the very least, she wouldn't have to worry about food during the trial period.

"Absolutely, no problem at all."

Zhou Yan was equally pleased.

His gains this time were truly substantial.

By selling just the wild monster meat and materials, he had already made nearly four hundred thousand spirit coins.

He knew he had to capitalize on the early days.

Once everyone reached level five, it wouldn't be as easy to make a profit from selling meat.

Flush with cash, Zhou Yan wasted no time in starting to upgrade his buildings.
