Chapter 4: Gas Fee
Seated atop a resplendent throne carved with intricate patterns of mythical beasts and celestial symbols.
Li Xian, a middle-aged man of regal stature, exuded an aura of authority and wisdom.
Clad in robes of deep indigo and adorned with ornate golden embroidery, his presence commanded reverence.
His salt-and-pepper hair was swept back from a high forehead, framing a face marked with the passage of time and lined with the etchings of countless experiences.
"Clan master, the Su Sacred Clan will be on the brink of destruction now..." Li Wei, a middle-aged man with a bald head, said with an excited smile on his face.
Haha.
Li Jun, standing opposite him, laughed with an elated smile. "What do you expect? Those Su\'s are more stupid than we imagined."
"We only killed one of the cubs of the Beast Tiger Clan and left traces pointing at the Su Sacred Clan... Who could imagine the Su\'s wouldn\'t have seen through our plot... Hahaha."
"This time around the Su will be destroyed. I can\'t wait to hear the good news." Li Wei added, rubbing his bald head.
A smile crept onto Li Xian\'s face as he looked at his two trusted elders.
The Su\'s had been a thorn in their flesh, but now their destruction was imminent.
\'How dare they not give me face and sell me those mines. When they are annihilated by the beast, everything will belong to me,\' he thought with a satisfying smile.
Everything was going according to plan.
Creak!
Just then, the door to the main hall opened abruptly, and a young man rushed inside.
Seeing this, the faces of those inside displayed slight frowns.
"Why would you enter without announcing your presence?" Li Jun berated.
"Sorry, Clan Master and elders... I have urgent news that I need to pass to the Clan Master, that\'s why I forgot to announce my presence." The young man said respectfully.
"What is the urgent news that made you forget your manners?" Li Wei questioned, still furious with the boy.
"Our informant has sent news from the Eastern Barren Land about the Su Sacred Clan." He began.
"Really?!" Li Wei asked with an anticipatory smile.
"Quickly, tell us."
It was not only him who wanted to hear the news of the destruction of the Su Sacred Clan.
The others couldn\'t wait to hear the joyous news.
"Have they fled their city? How much destruction did the beasts cause?" Li Jun asked impatiently.
Hearing this, the boy didn\'t know whether to laugh or cry.
Flee? Destruction? What are they talking about?
Taking a deep breath to arrange his thoughts, the boy began slowly.
"The Su Sacred Clan has chosen a new Clan Master..."
"So what?" Li Jun interrupted. "Their destruction was already set in stone."
\'Will you let me finish revealing the news?!\' The boy wanted to shout but controlled his impulse, taking a deep breath.
After the back and forth of interruptions, the boy finally announced the news.
Inside the main hall, a deafening silence reigned, with deep shock written all over their faces.
"So you\'re saying Su Yen invented some kind of armor, allowing them to defeat the beast." Li Xian said after recovering from his initial shock.
"Yes." The boy nodded.
"Tell our informant to try to get his hands on the so-called Metal Bone Construct."
...
"Clan Master, the effect of this Metal Bone Construct is huge," Su Jie began excitedly.
Previously, everyone was furious when the previous Clan Master abdicated his position for his lazy son.
But since the Su Sacred Clan were all united and respected the decision of their Clan Master.
They all accepted the new Clan Master.
However, who would have thought the new Clan Master would give them a surprise on his first day in office.
Standing opposite Su Jie, Su Ming had a conflicted expression on his face, deliberating whether to speak or not.
"What\'s the matter, elder brother?" Su Yen asked, looking at his brother with a calm expression.
"Do you know of the shortcomings of the Metal Bone Construct?" Su Ming asked.
Su Yen nodded calmly. As the creator of the construct.
How could he not know the shortcomings of the armor?
"Really?" Su Ming looked at Su Yen skeptically.
"You don\'t have to worry about the shortcomings. I will fix it later on." Su Yen said confidently.
The Metal Bone Construct depends on the user\'s qi to function.
Therefore, leading the user to get tired easily after using the construct a few times.
And when they exhaust their qi, the Metal Bone Construct becomes useless.
Watching the confident smile on his brother\'s face, Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
"But have you thought about others imitating your work?" Su Jie said.
This had been the question on the minds of the upper echelon of the Su Sacred Clan.
This was a ticket to rise above others.
How could they allow others to steal it?
Hearing this, Su Yen smiled. "Let them try."
Apart from him, no one in this world can create a workable Metal Bone Construct.
"A-Are you saying no one can create the Metal Bone Construct?" Su Jie asked with a trembling excited voice.
"Yes." He replied confidently.
"Good! Good! hahaha" Su Jie laughed.
Su Ming also had a bright smile on his face.
The more he looked at Su Yen, the more he realized how unfathomable his younger brother was.
"Now, since the beasts have retreated, we must not give them any chance to gather their forces again." Su Yen said seriously.
"Tomorrow, we attack them."
....
Inside Su Yen\'s chamber, he sat on his bed deep in thought.
\'Status\'
[Name: Su Yen]
[Race: Human]
[Talent: Eternal Life (Connected with Lotus World Providence)]
[World Providence: Low Tier 1]
[Destiny Points: 500]
[Store <>]
Looking at the system store, Su Yen couldn\'t contain his curiosity.
Since he decided to step out of his lazy persona,
He knew it was either he saved this world and increased its providence to a reasonable degree or suffered eternity with the Lotus World.
Who wanted to suffer through eternity?!
No one.
Thus, his choice was to get stronger. Stronger than when the Bloodmoon Envoys arrive, he will have nothing to fear and protect the world providence from being plundered.
And all this depends on the system store.
\'Store\'
[Ding!]
[To use the store, you need to pay a gas fee]
Gas Fee!!
Su Yen was so furious that he wanted to kill the maker of the system.
His chest rose and fell with veins protruding from his forehead. He gnashed his teeth and asked,
\'How much is the gas fee?\'
[Ding!]
[Since the host is using the store for the first time, the system will give you a discount.]
[Gas Fee: 100 gold coins.]
100 Gold Coins!
Su Yen rolled his eyes and took a deep breath. \'I hope the system won\'t be the death of me.\'
Even though 100 gold coins were a lot of money, for a sacred clan, it was nothing to him.
Whoosh!
All the gold coins disappeared into thin air, and the system store opened before him.
\'Let\'s hope all this is worth it.\'
