Renting a set of equipment.
In less than half an hour, he had earned millions of gold coins in resources.
This was a highly profitable venture!
If he could promote the equipment rental business, wouldn't he be lying on a mountain of gold?
Food controls the bottom.
The Lucky Set dominates the top.
In this way, wouldn't everyone be laborers?
Most importantly—
The Lucky Set was pure profit.
By simply renting out the set, he could obtain 40% of the profits from opening treasure chests.
Compared to Chen Yu's arduous exploration.
It was much simpler.
It was just that promoting this business had certain risks.
Not everyone was like Jiang Yaqing. Chen Yu absolutely trusted Jiang Yaqing, which was why he was willing to give her the Lucky Set.
He didn't really trust others.
"Take it slow,"
Chen Yu muttered and tossed the purple gold coins into his gold coin box.
His gold coins now numbered in the hundreds of thousands.
He was quite wealthy.
These gold coins would be the core output for the explosive growth of his camp's strength once he entered the city-state.
The influx of gold coins was truly gratifying.
However—
What truly excited Chen Yu was the sword in his hand.
The sword was five-colored.
It was surrounded by an ethereal glow.
The hilt felt slightly cool to the touch, and holding the sword brought an involuntary sense of peace, his spirit seeming to be invigorated.
This sword was not particularly heavy.
With Chen Yu's current strength, he could wield it with relative ease.
Without even needing to test it, he could feel its extraordinary nature.
"Little devil."
"What?" The little devil on his shoulder responded, then, as if sensing Chen Yu's thoughts, whispered, "This sword will last you until the Seven-Colored Realm."
"Seven-Colored Realm."
"The Underground Realm's cultivation levels are divided into Rotten Wood, Black Iron, Silver, Gold, Black Obsidian, and these are considered relatively common realms, also the introductory realms."
"Ha?"
Introductory.
Hearing the little devil's words, Chen Yu was stunned.
The Black Obsidian Realm.
Was only considered introductory?
"Don't be surprised, the Underground Realm is far larger than you imagine," the little devil said, crossing her arms and swinging her legs. "What you've encountered so far is merely a fraction of a fraction of the tip of the iceberg. After the Black Obsidian Realm comes the Color Realms, and Color refers to seven colors, also known as the Seven-Colored Realms."
"Don't say seven colors are red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple."
"Indeed."
"..."
Isn't that just a rainbow?
"The first color is red, the second is red-orange, and so on. By the time you reach the seventh color, you can be considered a formidable figure in the Underground Realm," the little devil whispered.
"So, I'm invincible?"
Chen Yu was astonished.
A sword that could last until the Seven-Colored Realm was no exaggeration to call a divine artifact for the current Chen Yu.
It was as if—
He was still in the新手村 (newbie village), and while others wielded weapons with attack power of 1-1, Chen Yu had directly obtained a dragon-slaying saber with an attack power of 10,000.
Invincible?!
He had expected the little devil to refute him or mention some limitations.
Who would have thought.
"Indeed," the little devil not only didn't refute but confirmed Chen Yu's words. She rested her chin on her hand, frowning as if she didn't quite understand. "Logically, you shouldn't have obtained a weapon of this caliber at this stage. Even with a 10 point luck attribute bonus, it shouldn't be possible."
The little devil pondered deeply but could not find a reason.
It was too strange.
How could a weapon that disrupted balance be unearthed so early in the stage when outsiders were just beginning to integrate into the Underground Realm.
Possessing such a weapon, Chen Yu could easily defeat even some demonic beasts.
Chen Yu, on the other hand, chuckled at the little devil's explanation.
"Why worry about so much? Being invincible is enough."
He didn't care if it disrupted the balance. He was the beneficiary. With the Five-Colored Stone Knight's Sword, he felt like he had been given a pass to rampage through the Underground Realm.
From now on, he could rob whoever he wanted.
Bully the weak, commit all sorts of evils.
He was the undisputed gang leader... or rather, successful entrepreneur of the Underground Realm!
"Oh my, I've inexplicably become invincible. What a predicament." Chen Yu hugged the Five-Colored Stone Sword, acting smug after gaining an advantage. "I wanted to experience the hardships of the common people, to live on the edge, with fate in the balance. Sadly, my strength doesn't allow it. I'm so frustrated. Barbara, I'm truly so frustrated."
"Can you get lost?"
Seeing Chen Yu's obnoxious demeanor, the little devil gave him an unfriendly glare.
"If you find it unchallenging, throw the sword down and leave it for a destined person."
"That's unnecessary. It's a treasure worth millions." Chen Yu silently clutched the five-colored sword tighter. This sword was his right-hand man for reaching the pinnacle of life and expanding his territory in the future.
Wiping the sword with his sleeve, Chen Yu turned to look at the little devil.
"Then what was your realm back then? What color were you?"
"Me?"
Unexpectedly, the little devil chuckled.
"I surpassed the Seven-Colored Realm long ago. In my Demon King's City, the Seven-Colored Realm members aren't even considered core members," the little devil said with a hint of pride in her eyes.
"Ha?"
"Don't you believe me? Big Milk Cow knows."
〖It's true~〗
"See? See? Isn't it?" The little devil, having received confirmation from the Soul of Gluttony, proudly raised her chin. "Back then, I was a tyrant in the Underground Realm. Do you know what a peak overlord is?"
"There are realms above the Seven-Colored Realm?"
"Yes!"
"..."
Chen Yu was speechless.
What kind of world was this? If not for the little devil, even if Chen Yu knew he was still a novice survivor at the bottom,
He never would have imagined he was so insignificant. kanδん
If he were considered a mountaineer, and the Underground Realm's cultivation levels were a towering mountain, he wasn't even halfway up; he was still at the stage of pacing at the foot of the mountain.
"Don't be too scared,"
The little devil waved her hand. "Actually, the Seven-Colored is a minor realm, a subdivision of the Color Realm. There are still realms above the Color Realm. It's too early to tell you now, but don't be too disappointed. With your current overall strength, you will absolutely crush more than half of the survivors and native inhabitants of the Underground Realm."
"Heh, thank you for still being willing to console me," Chen Yu said with a wry smile.
One must look forward.
Since there's a comparison to be made, one should compare themselves to those who are strong and successful. What's the point of constantly comparing oneself to those less fortunate?
Complacency?
Actually, on second thought, this might not be so bad.
At least life is easier.
Falling short of the best, but surpassing the worst.
Happiness is the most important.
He stretched lazily.
Now that the Lucky Set was back in his hands, he could start working on his tasks.
Just then—
A voice call appeared. Chen Yu glanced at the caller and clicked to confirm.
"What? You want to rent the Lucky Set again?"
"I don't have that many treasure chests to open. Renting it once for half a million is too expensive," Jiang Yaqing's voice came from his wristband, then she lowered her voice. "I'm calling you because I suddenly remembered something."
"What is it?"
"Have you had any contact with the native inhabitants of the Underground Realm recently?"
