“I’m Ling Yi.”

He did not hide his identity this time. The players from Firefly Town that he met on the way actually knew him, so there was no need to hide his identity.

“I’m Yun Zixiao.” Yun Zixiao beside them also spoke up.

The Emperor Star Financial Group was one of the ten largest financial groups in the world.

The first group leader was one of the six Divine Pillars of Shenxia, Yun Huihuang. As he was the oldest of the six, he was respectfully addressed as Elder Yun.

Later on, Yun Huihuang abdicated and made his younger brother Yun He the second-generation leader.

This information was relatively well-known, so when others heard it, they couldn’t help but discuss it.

“Isn’t that the group leader of the Emperor Star, Yun He? He’s actually here?”

“He’s clearly a Big Shot, but he’s so low-key. I wouldn’t know if I didn’t hear him introduce himself just now….”

“What are they talking about?”

Quite a few people noticed them.

Yun He ignored the people around him and asked Ling Yi with a serious expression, “Young fellow, do you know the true use of the statue?”

“I know. Just wait and see.”

Ling Yi didn’t dawdle.

After he answered, he didn’t wait for the other to reply. He raised the glasses and said to the statue, “I want to use it to exchange for an information item.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of green light shot out from the forehead of the statue and shone on the glasses in his hand.

Under everyone’s astonished gazes, the azure light flew back with the glasses and slowly fused into his forehead.

“I-it… it ate it!”

‘The statue ate the glasses from the young man’s hand!’

‘So this statue is really not an ordinary object!?’

While the crowd was still in shock, they saw a dark yellow light shoot out from the mouth of the statue. A crystal ball emitting a soft blue glow was pushed into Ling Yi’s hand by the yellow light.

[You have absorbed 73 surprise points from Yun He.]

[You have absorbed 69 points of excitement from Tong Bao.]

[You…]

“Ling Yi, what is that thing in your hand? What the hell is going on?” Yun He, who had witnessed the entire process, widened his eyes in shock. He could no longer suppress the question in his mind and hurriedly asked.

Hearing someone ask what they wanted to ask, the surrounding people couldn’t help but get closer to them, afraid that they wouldn’t be able to listen to this young man’s answer.

Ling Yi briefly explained the function.

After hearing what he said, everyone present was surprised and happy.

“Heavens! I didn’t expect the statue to have such a use! Who is that guy? He has done a great service!”

“In that case, will the statues in the other dungeons also have some sort of use? ”

“This is really amazing. Let me try. Let me try!”

More than a hundred people were present, so it was impossible to hide the news.

Thus, he knew what would happen next with just a glance at these people.

He quickly walked to Ling Yi’s side and said quickly, Ling Yi, you might not care about your reputation, but discovering the statue’s function is no small matter. As the discoverer, if you don’t quickly prove your identity as the ‘discoverer’, there might be many people who will come to steal your achievements.”

“If you trust me, I’ll get someone to help you settle this right now!”

“Alright,” he said. Ling Yi nodded and didn’t hold back.

Upon seeing this, Yun He smiled happily and hurriedly ordered his men to do this task.

As one of the world’s ten largest financial groups, the Emperor Star Financial Group naturally had enormous publicity.

In less than a few minutes, many topics and posts about the statue’s functions appeared on the forum.

Under the influence of the massive Internet Water Army, a thread titled [Firefly Town player Ling Yi discovered the great dungeon’s statue function] quickly became the top 30 most searched threads.

Most people on the forum were still discussing the event and its quest. So the sudden appearance of this title didn’t attract many people to click on it at first.

Only some players who were interested or bored would click on it.

However…

When they saw the description that “you can exchange unwanted items for other items of the same level that you want”, many people’s eyes immediately lit up.

[There’s actually an item with such a function?!]

[Exchanging unwanted items for items of the same level that you want. It’s like a National Recycling Station!]

[It’s a pity that the great dungeon only opens once a month… It would be great if it were always open.]

Many players quickly checked the dungeon where the statue had appeared and found that there were only four of them in the world.

Two of them were in Shenxia; one was on the coast of the setting sun Sakura nation, and the other was tens of meters above the ocean in Taijing ocean.

[There are actually two of them in Shenxia… This place is a treasure trove!]

[That’s right, I really envy the people of Shenxia.]

As the main post on the forum became more and more popular…

Back in the Divine Hall, Ling Yi was just about to leave when he was interrupted. Yun He took out an interspatial bag from his inventory and took out a card with a sky full of Stars printed on it. He handed it to Ling Yi and said, “This is the Emperor Star Financial Group’s friend card, and it is only given to our good friends.”

He looked at this beautiful starry sky card, and his heart was eager to collect it, but he didn’t make a move to reach out.

When Yun saw that Ling Yi didn’t take the card, he explained, “We’re going to hold an auction later. With this card, you can bid for the item at the same price as the others. We can even get a 20% return interest when you pay. In addition, there are many other benefits. It would be a waste not to take them…”

With no further explanation, Ling Yi didn’t argue and took it.

He then bid Yun Zixiao farewell, turned around, and walked out of the hall.

…

As he walked down the stairs of Divine Hall, Ling Yi opened the item he received from the statue.

[Insight Crystal Ball (B)]: Able to monitor a radius of 100 kilometers.

“It’s alright… At least it’s more useful than the glasses.”

The function of the glasses was to see far away, allowing people to see objects very far away. However, it didn’t have x-ray vision so it couldn’t compare to this large-scale surveillance in many cases.

It opened again after the mutation.

[Insight Crystal Ball (B): Able to monitor the entire world and project images, could hear the sounds coming from the surveillance area.]

Its practicality was vastly improved!

“With this, I can see everything in the world from the comforts of my home.”

The crystal ball was very playable. If one was bored, one could use it to view the mountains and rivers and the beautiful scenery of the world.

When he reached the bottom of the steps, Ling Yi glanced to his left and right. He realized that a few hundred more people were setting up their stalls.

The vast platform also began to get lively.

He thought for a moment and felt that if he kept his [Eye of Truth] open, he might be able to pick up some scraps if he was lucky. So he began walking around the “market” area.

“Unopened wooden boxes, 500 gold coins each. First come, first served!”

“Here are all kinds of monster transformation cards. Do you want to experience the feeling of becoming a monster? Come and buy one!”

“I dug up a pile of junk from the cave. I’m selling it for a low price.”

“…”

Ling Yi walked among the crowd, absorbing the emotion points provided by the people around him. He also used his [Eye of Truth] to observe the various products.

[Wooden Treasure Chest]: Possible E or D-grade items.

[Wind Element Transformation Card]: After use, the user can transform into a wind element, lasting for 1 hour. (Only changes in appearance)

[A Pile of Junk]: There’s nothing inside.
