Chapter 77: A Big Sale

Meng Lan gazed at Su Chen approvingly.

This was a young man who was very clear about what he was doing and why he was doing it. He had an all-encompassing ambition, but he could also remain sober and clear-headed.

This kind of man possessed an inherent attractive power.

Even though they weren’t from the same race, Meng Lan still felt her heart flutter in that instant.

However, she quickly restrained her emotions and smiled. “I understand what you mean. Since that’s the case, I will personally help you take care of this matter. The Adamantine Battle Body will be advertised on the main screen for three days with a 9-star evaluation.”

The notices in the Hall of Knowledge have different rankings, which are particularly important for Origin Skills and cultivation techniques. Thus, Castle Lords and Ladies sometimes assign them evaluations based on their content, originality, and practicality. They were assigned a value by the number of stars they have. The number of stars range from one through nine, and the more stars a notice has, the better it is.

Put quite plainly, they represent the Castle Lord’s (or Lady’s) recommendation.

Origin Skills with the Castle Lady’s recommendation had a certain degree of insurance behind it, and people who bought it would have much more faith in them.

A 9-star evaluation was the highest possible evaluation.

Su Chen’s Kaihuang’s Heaven hadn’t received an evaluation because he hadn’t been acquainted with Meng Lan at the time and because at a price of one hundred Dream Droplets, such a technique didn’t need an evaluation to sell like crazy. When an item was that much of a steal, things like evaluations didn’t matter anymore.

By having the advertisement on the main hall’s screen for three days in a row, the skill’s dissemination would be maximized.

Tens of thousands of notices were sent through the Hall of Information every day. Most people’s notices would shoot by in a flash, but the Adamantine Battle Body would be displayed in a prime location for three days in a row. That was quite a large discrepancy.

Advertisements in the Dreamcastle like this would normally require a sky-high price, but Meng Lan had done it for him for free.

This was one of Meng Lan’s special privileges.

Although she could not directly raise Su Chen’s privilege tier, she was allowed to publically and freely spread information about good items.

The Adamantine Battle Body was truly an excellent Origin Skill. Perhaps a 9-star evaluation was a bit too high, but it wasn’t completely unreasonable either.

Three days of free advertisements and a 9-star evaluation – this was the best support she could possibly provide.

Of course, Meng Lan wasn’t just offering her assistance for free. She demanded that Su Chen use all of the Dream Droplets he earned on raising his privilege tier.

Naturally, Su Chen was not willing to agree to those terms.

Doing research expended a lot of materials. The Adamantine Battle Body may have seemed like a chance occurrence, but it was built on the foundation of countless failures and a mountain of resources.

Thus, the Adamantine Battle Armor’s success was both lucky and inevitable!

If he used all of the earnings to raise his privilege tier, how could he perform any future research?

The two parties argued this point for some time.

Finally, they reached an agreement. For the first ten days it went on sale, 90% of the profits from the Adamantine Battle Body technique would go towards raising Su Chen’s privilege tier.

After ten days, all profits would belong to Su Chen.

Unlike material objects, knowledge and information could be spread, so as time went on it would become increasingly difficult to sell them.

For instance, if someone bought the Adamantine Battle Body within the Dreamrealm, they were prohibited from redistributing it within the Dreamrealm due to the Dreamrealm’s rules. However, upon leaving the Dreamrealm, they could sell it for a much lower price in the real world.

There was nothing that could be done to prevent this.

Thus, as soon as a piece of information was revealed within the Dreamnet, it could be sold for as little as 1/10th of the original price in the real world.

When considering the extremely high price of Origin Skills, more illicit copies might be sold than the original. Some people profited from this by ordering others to mass distribute any good Origin Skills they obtained. Oftentimes an Origin Skill that had been bought for a thousand Origin Stones could be sold at half the price for many more copies, allowing them to profit.

Because of this, Origin Skills would sell the most during the first ten days they went on the market. After this time period, even the best Origin Skills would become harder to sell and eventually be worth less than before.

To Meng Lan, increasing Su Chen’s privilege tier would force the other party to pay a much higher price to continue to suppress Kaihuang’s Heaven.
