"Can this stone be sold?"
Seeing Ye Bai take out a stone, the goblin underling was a bit surprised.
"It can be sold, but... does it have any special qualities?"
Ye Bai: "It can be sold for a particularly high price."
Goblin Underling: ......
"What kind of selling method do you intend to use?"
"Anonymous auction, awarded to the highest bidder within the time limit."
"Alright, what should the starting bid be? 5,000 gold coins?"
Five thousand gold coins was already the limit of the goblin underling's imagination.
A seemingly ordinary stone selling for the astronomical price of 5,000 gold coins—it would be something to boast about for a lifetime!
Equivalent to selling a stone for the price of a house in the imperial capital!
Ye Bai pondered and said, "Set the starting bid at 1 million gold coins."
To ordinary people, this stone seemed unremarkable.
Even under the appraisal of the Eye of Insight, it was just an ordinary stone.
But Ye Bai knew that it was the trigger item for the hidden level of the beginner dungeon and a testament to the first human completion of the beginner level!
That was the added significance of the stone.
As for whether anyone would be willing to pay such a high price for a commemorative stone, Ye Bai wasn't sure.
There's no harm in trying; after all, consignment items don't cost anything, and if it doesn't sell, Ye Bai loses nothing.
But if it does sell, Ye Bai would make a huge profit!
"Okay, I'll set it up for you, with a time limit of one month, is that alright?"
The goblin underling confirmed some details and finally placed the stone in the Pavilion of All Things' auction house.
The Nature's Force that Ye Bai ordered finally arrived.
"We need to create a trade contract witnessed by the secret realm elf, ensuring that the buyer of this staff is a mage below level 30 and is enjoying the Pavilion of All Things' first-time 50% discount..."

After signing several contracts, the goblin underling summoned the secret realm elf, and the transaction was completed.
The slightly cumbersome procedure ensured that every transaction was as fair and just as possible.
After finishing up, Nature's Force was officially handed over to Ye Bai.
"Wish you a pleasant life, and feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything!"
The goblin underling watched Ye Bai leave the trade secret realm.
A familiar merchant called out, "Underling, where did you find that guy willing to spend big money on upgradable equipment?"
Upgradable equipment is a pitfall for all merchants!
Expensive and niche, extremely hard to sell.
"Who knows."
The goblin underling shrugged and explained, "What if he can identify the upgrade conditions?"
"What if? What if my future son-in-law is Asura?"
"Stop dreaming! There's no such good fortune!"
"Underling, you made quite a bit today, treat everyone to a drink!"
"......"
Ye Bai's transaction at the Pavilion of All Things was just a pebble thrown into the ocean, causing no ripples.
After all, the current hot topic among humans was all about Asura!
After leaving the trade secret realm, Ye Bai took out Nature's Force and examined it carefully.
This staff, for which Ye Bai spent 80,000 gold coins, was 1.2 meters long, entirely black, made from an old wood struck by lightning, thus gaining both lightning and wood element bonuses.
"Indeed, it's a top-tier staff that can be upgraded 12 times!"
[
Equipment: Nature's Force (LV.10)
Grade: A Rank
Attributes: Intelligence +25, Spirit +15
Entries:
[Heaven's Wrath] Increases lightning damage by 5% for the staff holder, increases lightning damage received by 10%, and wood skills provide shield/healing by 10%.
[Duality] When casting lightning skills, there's a 0.1% chance to simultaneously cast wood skills, and vice versa.
Upgrade Entry:
[Death and Rebirth] Can be upgraded after dealing 1 million points of lightning damage or restoring 1 million points of wood healing (the choice during the upgrade process will affect the final upgrade effect).
Upgradeable Times: 12
Times Upgraded: 0
]
The original price of Nature's Force was 180,000, because Heaven's Wrath is a rare percentage damage increase, raising the value of the entire equipment significantly.
Of course, what Ye Bai valued most was the 12 upgrade limits!
Each upgrade brings a qualitative leap in equipment level and attributes, with a certain probability of adding entries!
As for the [Duality] entry, it's somewhat niche.
Ye Bai, who has changed jobs to become a Thunder Fury Mage (lightning element), currently only has lightning skills, with few other means.
As for the [Death and Rebirth] upgrade condition, dealing a million lightning damage is a small feat for Ye Bai.
With Ready to Go stacked a dozen times, a single Lightning Arrow would suffice.
"Unfortunately, on the first day of entering the Eternal Tower, I can only challenge the beginner dungeon."
Ye Bai put Nature's Force back in his backpack and looked down at the Tower Mark on his arm.
Under Ye Bai's conscious effort, the Tower Mark emitted a white light, enveloping Ye Bai's entire body once again.
The next second,
He was back in his own home.
"Phew—"
"Finally back!"
Ye Bai picked up the cup on the table and drank it all in one go.
Reflecting on his first journey to the Eternal Tower, Ye Bai felt everything was so surreal.
Awakening an SSS Rank Talent, slaying the Hellhound, clearing the hidden level, achieving an SSS Rank clearance, purchasing Nature's Force...
In just a few hours, Ye Bai's strength had undergone a qualitative leap!
Now, even if he encounters a weaker warrior, he has the power to fight!
Stretching his limbs, Ye Bai felt the changes within his body, as the attributes from the Eternal Tower synchronized with reality!
His five-dimensional attributes now all exceeded a hundred, his physical fitness enhanced more than tenfold!
Ye Bai conducted a simple test inside the house.
Holding his breath in a basin of water for 10 minutes, Ye Bai felt no discomfort and even thought he could continue.
Before the appearance of the Eternal Tower, the human world record for holding one's breath was 24 minutes, achieved by only a rare few.
With the enhancement from the Eternal Tower, Ye Bai could easily break all sorts of old world records.
He even managed to run 100 meters in under 10 seconds without warming up!
Of course, the enhancement from the Eternal Tower is fair, putting everyone on the Blue Planet on the same starting line, and the old world records have long been sealed away, no longer serving as a reference.
Feeling the tremendous changes in his body, Ye Bai, who had just left the Eternal Tower, was even looking forward to his next journey there!
After excitedly completing various tests, Ye Bai took a cold shower, gradually calming down.
Only then did he have the leisure to pay attention to the outside world.
Opening his phone, he was greeted by countless news headlines!
"This is too exaggerated, isn't it?"
Even though he was mentally prepared, Ye Bai was still a bit shocked at this moment.
On Weibo's trending list, out of the top 50, 34 were related to Asura!
Trending first: [Will Asura be the next Supreme Being?]
Trending second: [Defense Command destroys the fourth Demonic Sect headquarters, killing three deputy cult leaders!]
Trending third: .....
"Demonic Sect?"
Looking at the second trending topic, Ye Bai moved his finger and clicked on it.
