Doomsday Roulette

Chapter 271: Big Spender 💰

Published: February 6, 2025

“Hey, let me mention something. Old Phantom here is quite clumsy with typing. On a good day, I can manage about seven to eight hundred words in an hour. So while my updates are relatively stable with two chapters per day, I haven't had any explosive bursts yet. I feel a bit guilty towards all the brothers and sisters supporting me. Therefore, during the Labor Day holiday, I plan to have a small outbreak. It might not be like other authors who can write tens of thousands of words in a day, but it will definitely be more than what I’m currently producing. How much more will depend on the situation. Consider this a bit of an explanation to all my readers. I will also continue to strive to write a bit more in the future and occasionally increase the updates. Lastly, thank you all for your support; Old Phantom expresses his gratitude!”

Many people found this amusing.

Currently, two-star evolvers are the backbone of these battle teams and the main force in combat. Aside from the top ten factions in Ying City, very few other factions possess three-star evolvers. This means that among the dozens of three-star evolvers in the entire Ying City, two-star evolvers represent the highest combat strength.

The Renxing Battle Team is powerful, but how many two-star evolvers do they have? As far as everyone knows, there are fewer than ten, and that number was only reached after they absorbed some members from the former Blue Bay Battle Team. Their strength is more reflected in the presence of two three-star evolvers and a large group of one-star evolvers.

Two bottles of two-star evolution elixirs are enough to elevate a top ten faction in Ying City's rankings by one position!

At this price, it is no longer a matter of whether it is cheap or not; it is simply too expensive.

One might encounter life-threatening dangers while obtaining one, yet would need to pay nearly a quarter of the strength of an entire faction for it. Anyone can do that math.

So, when Bai Feng stated this price, the atmosphere immediately turned cold. To be honest, not only would no one have two bottles of two-star evolution elixirs saved up until this moment, but even if they did, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to bring home such a ticking time bomb.

“Can we use one-star elixirs as a substitute?”

A voice suddenly broke the silence. Everyone looked over to see a young man next to Brother Bao speaking. He should be a member of the Angry Flames team, but many were suspicious as to why the boss was silent while letting such a young person speak.

Bai Feng frowned and thought for a moment before replying, “To be honest, what I need the most is the two-star evolution elixirs. However, I also understand the current situation. So… fine, one-star elixirs will work, but I need at least thirty bottles!”

Wow!

Everyone gasped in astonishment.

Although there’s no exchange ratio between two-star elixirs and one-star elixirs, everyone knows that second-level mutated lifeforms are gradually increasing, while first-level mutated lifeforms are decreasing. In the future, obtaining Grade 2 Magic Crystals will become easier than it is now, but the difficulty of obtaining Grade 1 Magic Crystals will increase.

These people are leaders of various factions, and they are not foolish. The foolish ones wouldn’t have survived until now. They are well aware that the foundation of any faction is the number of one-star evolvers. With these individuals, they can gradually cultivate two-star and even three-star evolvers. Without this foundation, everything is just empty talk.

Moreover, loyalty among team members is crucial in this apocalypse. Under normal circumstances, a leader would prefer to spend a bottle of a one-star evolution elixir to cultivate an evolver rather than absorbing an unknown one. This is because it’s impossible to ascertain whether a newcomer to the team harbors ulterior motives.

Of course, this situation isn’t absolute, but it’s definitely something every leader is concerned about.
