Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1784 - 1001: Ample Preparations and the Return Home
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
Having exited the Star Energy Weapon Trading Hall, Su Lin found himself having burned through almost two trillion star stones.
Indeed, Star Stone mechas come at a steep price too. Acquiring three billion in one go, along with star energy fuel and related items, naturally drove the cost well beyond that of the Star Sky Mother Ship Group.
Su Lin's next stop was the Foil Paper Trading Hall, where he planned to take a closer look.
Without question, beyond star energy weapons, these foil-level killing devices can swiftly boost a faction's fighting strength.
Such items serve as the essential trump cards and hidden strategies that numerous Star Nebula Great Clans are compelled to stockpile.
Now that the Wolf Pack Civilization has stepped into the realm of a Star Nebula Great Clan, it ought to secure the foil-level reserves fitting for such a status.
Once inside,
the sight that greeted him first was a vast array of diverse foil-level killing devices crammed together.
Their descriptions ranged from those targeting single foes to ones inflicting area-wide harm.
From teleportation aids and formation breakers to burning effects, freezing capabilities, spatial locks, and more—every specialized type of foil niche was on offer.
Su Lin snapped up samples from every category of these foil-level killing devices.
In the end, as a future Star Nebula Great Clan, they were bound to dive into the fierce struggles of the Blazing Nebula.
Surrounding them lay the Sea of Star Sand, the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan, the Red Sun Empire, the Bright Day System, the Black Sun Stellar System, and countless others,
truthfully, every one of these Star Nebula Great Clans outmatches the Wolf Pack Civilization at present!
Regardless of which group's aggression they might face later, preparing a broad and ample stock of foil-level killing devices proved essential.
For this purchase of foil-level killing devices, he acquired more than 1,200 ready-made units and a mere 6,000 blank foil sheets, totaling three trillion star stones.
Notably, back then, a single blank sheet of "Unspeakable" foil had set Su Lin back fifty million star stones, revealing the enormous markups in those deals.
Beyond the standard foils, Su Lin turned his attention once more to the forbidden-level foil paper killers in the mix.
These forbidden-level foil paper killers get forged by genuine taboo beings.
Every piece harbors immense, heaven-piercing power and profound dimensional truths. Su Lin had unleashed three such forbidden-level foil paper killers at the Heavenly Ghost and the Emperor’s Son of Ten Thousand Demons before, eroding their dimensional truths while unleashing tremendous force.
If those had been genuine top-tier forbidden-level foil paper killers, the Heavenly Ghost and his thirty thousand black-robe undead followers would have faced devastating losses.
After all, these foil-level killing devices pose serious threats even to wounded taboo existences, much less to those at half-step taboo level!
Still, the cost per sheet soared to outrageous heights.
A forbidden-level Spacefoil demanded a jaw-dropping eight hundred and thirty billion star stones, making it three to four hundred times pricier than regular versions.
Nevertheless, Su Lin went ahead and bought sixteen forbidden-level foil paper killers.
Among them were ten for single-target strikes, two Fire foils, two Ice Cold foils, one Sky foil, and one Shadow foil.
This haul of foil-level killing devices drained another fifteen trillion star stones from Su Lin.
Over this brief span, Su Lin had poured more than thirty trillion star stones into the Star Core Trading City—a truly colossal sum of assets.
Even in the wealth-gobbling Star Core Trading City, famed for its Taotie-like appetite, the staff inside couldn't help but present Su Lin with a VIP card, mirroring the one handed to the Heavenly Ghost, all in utmost respect.
Armed with this VIP card, free entry to every trading hall in the Star Core Trading City became possible, and direct access to the central Treasure Auction Hall awaited even without an invitation list.
Yet, upon getting the VIP card, Su Lin skipped rushing to the Treasure Auction Hall and instead roamed through the remaining trading halls once more.
After all, it wasn't just Lev who required expanding his worldview; Su Lin himself, along with the whole Wolf Pack Civilization, needed to elevate their perspectives and solidify their base.
At this point, the Heavenly Boundary paths open to the Wolf Pack Civilization extended far beyond a mere two options; numerous routes now beckoned.
Included among them were certain extraordinarily potent and fearsome Heavenly Boundary paths,
plus assorted battle formations and Fortune Formations. Ever since Su Lin claimed the Hao Ri Wheel Rotation Battle Formation from the Radiant Sun Tribe and the wildly powerful Holy Angel Destiny Array, shortages in that area had vanished.
However, some elements remained sorely lacking for the Wolf Pack Civilization.
Namely, insights into the key powers dominating the Blazing Nebula!
Su Lin snapped up loads of intel on tactical assault strategies devised specifically against those major clan powers,
such intel, though not commonly known, wasn't classified at the highest levels either, so the prices stayed reasonable.
On top of that,
Su Lin returned to the Blood Food Trading Hall and loaded up on huge quantities of flesh from various species, encompassing even the Essence Blood from the Sky-Cunning Beast clan and the Heavenly Destiny Clan.
He grabbed them all in a single sweep, and in generous volumes too.
Since these resources could propel his Genetic Metamorphosis forward, and later help forge elite Sun Body warriors among the Wolf Pack Civilization's ranks!
As these nonstop buying sprees unfolded, time slipped away unnoticed.
......
Days raced ahead, and after half a month had elapsed,
across that time, Su Lin had shelled out over fifty trillion star stones altogether, with about forty trillion funneled into the trading halls, before he finally stepped into the Premium Auctions too.
The moment he arrived inside, the reason behind the Heavenly Ghost's interest in this place became crystal clear.
It turned out a Dimension Heart was on the auction block.
A Dimension Heart belongs solely to those at Half-step Forbidden Peak or individuals who have endured a Heavenly Tribulation to attain Quasi-taboo status.
For the Star Core Auction to feature such a Dimension Heart meant that a Half-step Forbidden Peak or Quasi-taboo had met their end.
From the Star Core Auction's detailed rundown, Su Lin confirmed it was indeed the Dimension Heart of a Quasi-taboo.
Thinking back to the demise of the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, Su Lin began to piece together what had transpired.
