Even among low-tier units, there were differences in their strengths and weaknesses. Some units, despite their low tier, naturally possessed three or even four abilities, while others only had one or two abilities. Even with upgrades from the military talent tree, the overall improvement was relatively limited.

The two units Ji Chen had selected, the Self-Detonating Water Spider and the Lobster Rider, both had three abilities. With their innate potential being decent, advancing them to higher tiers would make them even more formidable.

Having the military talent tree as an advantage and acquiring high-quality recruitment core units did not conflict with each other.

Once Ji Chen had chosen the two units, he checked the names of the players selling them.

Coincidentally, both units came from the same person.

The player’s forum name was T_Love_Black_ Stockings”, which made Ji Chen chuckle.

Forum names were chosen only once, and once confirmed, they couldn’t be changed. They accompanied the players for their entire lives, without any name change cards or similar items.

However, this player had fearlessly selected such a username. Ji Chen couldn’t help but question whether they were genuinely confident or simply possessed an audacious nature.

However, in his heart, Ji Chen affirmed it.

Not for any particular reason, but because he, too, liked black stockings.

After expressing his intention to purchase, “I_Love_Black_ Stockings11 quickly responded, as if waiting by the computer.

“Is it really Big Boss Islander? Am I not mistaken? Is there someone with the same name…”

’h.e.l.lo.”

“Ah! It really is you!!11

“Oh my goodness, if my neighbor, Old w.a.n.g, knew I was talking to you, he would be so envious!”

“No, I have to jot down what’s happening right now in my notebook. It will be my family heirloom!”

“I_Love_Black_ Stockings” seemed extremely excited and sent several messages in a row, flooding Ji Chen’s screen and leaving him speechless.

Seeing “I_Love_Black_S toe kings” being so excited, as if encountering an idol, Ji Chen couldn’t help but feel nostalgic.

Was he now considered a celebrity?

“Cough cough, let’s get to the point.”

“Oh, right, can’t waste your time. Big Boss Islander, which one of my Self-Detonating Water Spiders and Lobster Riders do you want? The Self-Detonating Water Spider has 5 recruitment cores, and the Lobster Rider has 6. The more you buy, the more discounts you get!”

“I want both, so I’ll take all the cores.”

“Impressive, Boss. You’re showing your dominance and might! ”

“As long as the price suits my liking, whether it’s gold coins or rare resources, there’s no problem.”

His words exuded great confidence.

He had a large amount of gold coins, and he also possessed mithril, crystals, and precious metals. Buying a few recruitment cores wouldn’t faze him at all.

As if awed by Ji Chen’s imposing manner, “I_Love_Black_Stockings” hesitated for a while before continuing.

“Now that you’ve said that, let me boldly propose the price…”

“One Self-Detonating Water Spider recruitment core for 50 gold coins, one Lobster Rider recruitment core for 300 gold coins. Do you think this price is suitable?’1

When Ji Chen saw the price, his brow furrowed deeply.

50 gold coins… 300 gold coins…

Wasn’t this… too cheap?

50 gold coins were equivalent to the price of two Eastern Continent exotic slaves.

300 gold coins were just the value of six warhorses.

Based on the 5 Self-Detonating Water Spider recruitment cores and 6 Lobster Rider recruitment cores, it would only require a total of 2050 gold coins.

In normal circ.u.mstances, this seemed like a lot, but these were recruitment cores that could continuously produce units.

5+7=13. This quant.i.ty was more than all the recruitment cores Ji Chen had acquired in the past.

Could it be that obtaining this many cores was the normal situation for players?

Seeing Ji Chen remain silent for a longtime, “I_Love_Black_ Stockings” thought the offer was too high and quickly said, “If the Boss finds this price unacceptable, I can immediately change it… 45 gold coins for the

Self-Detonating Water Spider and 260 gold coins for the Lobster Rider. Would you find this price acceptable?”

When Ji Chen snapped out of his daze and saw these words, a wry smile formed on his lips.

Why did it become even cheaper?

Didn’t this already seem like a loss?

He had the money to buy them, so there was no need to push the price so low…

While he took a moment to complain, “l_Love_Black_Stockings” sent another message.

“Sob Sob, 40 gold coins for the Self-Detonating Water Spider, and 240 gold coins for the Lobster Rider. This is the lowest price 1 can offer. If it goes any lower, I’ll be at a loss! These recruitment cores were obtained by risking my life to infiltrate monster lairs, and half of the units 1 brought with me died. At least let me break even! Boss, if you truly want them, please have mercy and accept this price?”

Seeing “l_Love_Black_Stockings” in such a distressed state, Ji Chen couldn’t help but chuckle.

It seemed that there was a discrepancy in their understanding of the value of recruitment cores and the actual value of gold coins.

However, Ji Chen was curious. Why would “I_Love_Black_Stockings” be willing to lower the price by 20% just to sell these recruitment cores to him?

He felt that these two units were quite good and should have considerable market value.

When Ji Chen asked this question, T_Love_Black_Stockings” spoke with a tinge of bitterness in their words.

“To be honest, my s.h.i.+p was recently destroyed by wild units in the open sea, and I won’t be able to go out for hunting and fis.h.i.+ng for some time. My territory currently needs a sum of gold coins to buy food.. If we continue to face a shortage of food in a few days, the morale of the residents will hit rock bottom, and there will be a revolt!”
