Chapter 100 Harvest
"Since there are no problems with the Shape-Shifting Pills, how should we distribute the remaining eight?"
At this moment, Di Tian raised this critical question, and once again, everyone's eyes gathered.
"Choose some powerful hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, and see if they're willing to take the Shape-Shifting Pill, then head into the human Soul Master world to gather important intelligence."
Gu Yuena's cold voice rang out, breaking the brief silence.
The human Soul Master world was developing at a rapid pace. The soul beast race could no longer remain in the Star Dou Forest, cut off from the outside world.
The appearance of the Shape-Shifting Pill was precisely the perfect medium. By planting soul beasts into the human Soul Master world, they could obtain more crucial information about humans and prepare for the future development of the soul beast race.
"Yes, my Lord."
Upon hearing the command, Di Tian responded without hesitation.
They had already discussed this plan before. Now that the time was ripe, it was finally time to put it into action.
And so, in the time that followed…
Countless soul beasts began roaming the Star Dou Forest, searching for those powerful hundred-thousand-year soul beasts who were willing to sacrifice for the soul beast race.
…
Star Auction Pavilion.
During the battle that had taken place earlier, Jiang Li stood hidden in the shadows, his gaze sharp as a torch, quietly observing everything.
He only raised his brows slightly and had no intention of interfering.
In his view, this contest of seizing and defending was nothing more than a competition of strength.
If one could not protect what was theirs, it was only because their strength was insufficient—no one else could be blamed.
In fact, Jiang Li had already foreseen this entire development. How could Zhongli Wu easily give up the treasures he had worked so hard to obtain?
The subsequent conflict was only a matter of time.
As for Long Xiaoyao's arrival, Jiang Li had also anticipated it.
At this moment, Jiang Li shifted his focus to the gold soul coins obtained from this auction.
After carefully counting them all, Jiang Li nodded with satisfaction. This massive amount of gold soul coins was enough to support him in conducting hundreds of lottery draws.
By comparison, what truly concerned him was how these auctioned items would impact the future of the Douluo Continent.
And, in turn, how many precious Auction Points he could gain from them.
"System, calculate how many Auction Points I might have obtained this time."
Silently in his heart, Jiang Li called out to that quiet existence.
He knew very well that unless he asked, the system would most likely remain silent forever.
[The Auction Points gained by the Host are based on current and future changes to the trajectory of the Douluo Continent.]
The cold voice of the system rang in Jiang Li's mind, followed by a torrent of information flooding in.
[Because the Holy Spirit Cult obtained the Heaven-Devouring Soul Technique, their future strength will increase greatly. The entire Douluo Continent will once again be swept by them, suffering devastating blows. Host gains: 8,924 points.]
[Because Shrek Academy obtained the Soul Ring Age Enhancement Card, the Academy's strength has been slightly improved. Host gains: 2,348 points.]
[Because the soul beast race obtained the Shape-Shifting Pill, this has created a considerable impact on the soul beast race and the future of the continent. Host gains: 4,273 points.]
[Because Mingde Hall obtained the humanoid puppet, their soul tool technology will be further enhanced, giving rise to even stronger soul tool advancements in the Douluo Continent. Host gains: 4,243 points.]
…
Listening to the system's continuous prompts, Jiang Li furrowed his brows slightly, a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.
He thought to himself, The Holy Spirit Cult was already an extremely dangerous existence on the Douluo Continent, with evil soul masters possessing overwhelming power.
Now that they've obtained the Heaven-Devouring Soul Technique, their future strength will undoubtedly skyrocket, enough to pose a devastating threat to the entire continent.
Yet even so, he had received less than ten thousand Auction Points—far too pitiful.
As for the other options, Jiang Li had little doubt about their calculations.
The Shape-Shifting Pill and the humanoid puppet—each was capable of altering the direction of the future to some extent.
Especially the Shape-Shifting Pill, which brought a ray of hope to the soul beasts, even leading to the Silver Dragon King awakening ten thousand years early.
From every angle, these auction items would unquestionably exert profound and far-reaching influence on the future of the Douluo Continent.
"But still, better than nothing. Anyway, since there will be an auction every month, there will be plenty more opportunities to gain Auction Points."
Jiang Li quickly adjusted his mindset, his dissatisfaction gradually fading.
He understood well—so long as he could continue hosting auctions, he would, in some way, be able to reshape the future landscape of the Douluo Continent.
The items he placed in the Star Auction Pavilion were, after all, nearly unheard of across the continent.
Some had never appeared before, and were truly peerless treasures.
Just as Jiang Li was about to plan how to use his newly gained Auction Points, a crucial question suddenly popped into his mind.
"That's right—System, if things continue like this, won't the gold soul coins of the Douluo Continent eventually run out?"
Jiang Li asked with a grave expression.
With each successive auction, rare items continued to appear, driving soul masters across the continent into a frenzy, spending massive amounts of gold soul coins to participate.
Although the problem was not yet obvious, if this continued for hundreds of auctions, then indeed, the gold soul coins of the entire Douluo Continent might truly be exhausted.
What's more, these gold soul coins would be consumed in his system's lottery, meaning they would never re-enter circulation.
[The Host need not worry. Every time gold soul coins are consumed within the system, the system will, through certain methods, redistribute them into circulation across the Douluo Continent. There is no need to fear the depletion of gold soul coins in the future.]
The cold voice of the system rang out once again, giving Jiang Li a reassuring answer.
"That's good!"
Jiang Li exhaled deeply, his worries easing significantly.
At least this way, the continent's gold soul coins would not be depleted through auctions.
After all, each of those precious auction items had always been sold for a jaw-droppingly high price.
If the gold soul coins could not circulate, the consequences would truly be unthinkable.
Having solved this looming concern, Jiang Li sorted out the Auction Points he had gained and let his consciousness sink into the system store.
At this moment, his heart was filled with anticipation—he had long coveted the many items within the store.
Previously, he could only sigh helplessly due to his lack of points. But now, he finally had the capital to spend.
"System, help me filter out the things I can afford."
Looking at the absurdly expensive items listed at the very top, Jiang Li couldn't help but darken his expression.
Those items were indeed unimaginably tempting, but with his current wealth, they were simply out of reach for now.
Fortunately, the system quickly refreshed the shop's display, leaving only items within his current Auction Point budget.
"First, I'll buy something to increase my strength."
Jiang Li rested his chin on his hand, his gaze thoughtful as he spoke softly.
Although he had the invincible domain within the Star Auction Pavilion, and could use Ultimate Douluo Experience Cards when outside—
He knew very clearly: these were all external aids.
Only by raising his own strength could he truly stand firm in the Douluo Continent, where the strong ruled.
Very soon, Jiang Li's eyes locked onto a particular item—
[Level 10 Soul Power Enhancement Card: Price 10,000 Auction Points].
The card made his eyes shine, his heart brimming with joy.
