The treasure chests stored in the warehouse were currently Lin Mo and Ning Xi's most valuable source of immense wealth.
Even if they were simply opened normally, the total value of the resources obtained from them would exceed one billion.
But if they received the tenfold reward boost from Ning Xi's SSS-rank talent, Supreme Emperor, their total value could exceed ten billion.
However, the tenfold boost also presented a problem.
"Every chest, besides gold coins, is guaranteed to contain at least one piece of equipment, skill book, magic scroll, or some other item."
The gold coins were easy to deal with. They could simply be cashed out according to the official exchange rate, which was convenient and quick.
The problem was the items.
"Ten thousand chests would normally produce ten thousand items. After the tenfold boost, that will become one hundred thousand items."
"But a player's auction house can have at most 40 item slots. Dealing with all these items by selling them will be a huge problem."
"Besides, the auction house charges a 5% transaction fee. For a single item, it may be negligible, but for one hundred thousand items, the fees alone will be an enormous expense."
Ning Xi thought it over, "Mm, that is a big problem."
Fortunately, Lin Mo knew that the auction house in the Divine Oracle had a hidden opportunity that allowed players to unlock unlimited permanent item slots.
It could also permanently reduce the transaction fee from 5% to 1%.
Lin Mo clearly remembered that there were only three slots for this unlimited shelf throughout the entire Divine Oracle.
In his previous life, a player from Dragon Nation had luckily triggered and completed this opportunity, obtaining the right to unlimited item slots in the auction house.
That player was completely ordinary, but he had a good business sense.
He took advantage of the fact that other players had to pay a 5% fee whether they sold things through the auction house or set up street stalls, while he only needed to pay a 1% fee.
He helped other players sell their goods and gave up 2% of the transaction fee, charging them 3%.
After deducting the system's 1% fee, he made a 2% profit from each transaction.
On the surface, a mere 2% fee really did seem insignificant.
But the key was that he had unlimited item slots.
At first, others didn't trust him enough to let him sell their things.
But after he gradually built up his reputation, he completely opened up this path of selling goods.
Later on, for a product worth 100 gold coins, he made 2 gold coins.
For ten thousand items, he made 20,000.
Using this, that player built himself up from scratch. Starting as an unknown solo player, he used the money he earned through the auction house to establish a guild, and eventually even turned it into a massive guild with a million members.
Ning Xi had the tenfold reward boost ability.
She would definitely have to deal with large quantities of resources frequently in the future.
So it was very necessary to get her the right to unlimited item slots.
And the reason Lin Mo wasn't in a hurry was because the player who had triggered this opportunity in his previous life had only triggered it after the descent of Divine Oracle.
There was still plenty of time to get this privilege for Ning Xi now.
As for whether he would feel guilty about taking someone else's opportunity?
That wasn't an issue.
Because the guy who obtained this opportunity in his previous life and built a million-member guild was a bad person.
In the end, he led his guild to defect to Beacon Nation.
What was most disgusting was that before defecting to Beacon Nation, he had relied on the reputation he had built up over the years to collect a large amount of extremely valuable resources within Dragon Nation.
In the end, he brought all those top-grade resources with him as his dowry and married into Beacon Nation.
He had represented the Beacon Nation faction and opposed Ning Xi, the Dragon Nation Empress, many times.
He was none other than the infamous traitor of Dragon Nation: Dugu Bubai.
For someone like that, taking his opportunity was the least of it.
Later, when Lin Mo caught him, he would make sure to grind him into the ground.
'Dare to mess with my wife?'
'Just watch. You'll see if I don't take you down later!'
At this moment, Ning Xi said, "Brother Lin Mo, why don't we go do your class advancement quest first? We can prioritize your quest."
"When we have time later, we can go get the unlimited item slots you just mentioned?"
"Mm, that works too," Lin Mo agreed.
After all, judging by the rewards from the Divine Might Tower, Ning Xi would probably still need several days to save up fifty million reputation.
As long as they obtained this privilege before then, it would still be in time.
So next, before going to complete the Ghost Monarch class advancement quest, the two of them went to the Super God Arena.
They planned to finish today's matches first.
After all, there were only twenty days left for the S-rank hidden quest [Heart Knot].
Lin Mo had to break through to the King rank as soon as possible and make a trip to the Divine Kingdom.
This quest could not afford even the slightest mistake.
Otherwise, not only would Divine Descent Seraph · Siya die, Lin Mo would also be placed on the divine race's blacklist.
From then on, he wouldn't even be able to obtain the ordinary [Divine Descent·Seraph].
The Super God Arena was still lively.
The same old routine.
Lin Mo and Ning Xi first teamed up to finish the couples' matches.
Then they called Ning Fei and Zhao Lingyun, along with Qin Feng, to finish the 5v5 matches.
Finally, Lin Mo and Ning Xi split up.
Lin Mo played the solo arena, while Ning Xi played the pet arena.
After Ning Xi finished the pet arena and switched to the solo arena, Lin Mo would play the pet matches.
As Lin Mo crushed the pet arena ticket, during the system's matchmaking phase, Lin Mo checked his current rank: Platinum IV (80/100).
"A win in one pet arena match gives 2 experience points. After these ten pet matches, I'll be able to advance straight to Platinum V."
Lin Mo said with satisfaction, "Looks like I should be able to finish the second and third stages of the class advancement quest today."
Since the first stage of the SSS-rank hidden class Ghost Monarch's advancement quest corresponded to Silver V, while the second stage directly corresponded to Gold V.
The third stage should correspond to Platinum V.
The fourth stage would correspond to Diamond V.
And so on...
The SSS-rank hidden class Ghost Monarch's advancement quest, Ghost Domain Conqueror, required finding fragments of the Eye of Chaos through the quests in each stage.
In the end, the fragments would be combined into the complete ancient demonic artifact of the ghost race, the Eye of Chaos, to complete the class advancement.
"Then after the matches later, today's task will be to get the second and third fragments of the Eye of Chaos."
Just as Lin Mo was making this plan...
Whoosh!
White light descended, and Lin Mo disappeared from the spot.
[Ding~ Match successful! Player Rulebound, please note: Your opponent in this pet arena match is the pet of Gold V player·Da Wo Shi Zhu, the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf. Please confirm your battle pet!]
As the system notification fell, Lin Mo was slightly surprised.
"Oh? Gold V. In Inferno City, that should put them at least within the top 100 of the rank leaderboard, right?"
"And it's an Epic-rank pet, the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf? There are only a few Epic-rank pets in all of Inferno City."
"Not bad. This should be interesting."
At the same time, on the other side, the level 69 Elemental Mage player [Da Wo Shi Zhu], who had originally been full of confidence, instantly wilted when she saw her opponent.
Even the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf in front of her, its entire body radiating blood-red light, looking fierce and imposing, seemed able to sense the overwhelming presence of its opponent.
Its sharp eyes dimmed.
It seemed to instantly change from a proud lone wolf into an aloof stray dog.
"Big Brother Mo, go easy on me..."
Lin Mo smiled slightly, "Okay."
Ever since Divine Descent Seraph·Siya had gone down the poison-healer route, Lin Mo had gotten used to using Siya in the pet arena.
Although Strong-Maned Pig's damage reflection was powerful, it could only be triggered after being attacked.
Against timid and cowardly opponents, it would drag out the pace.
But Divine Descent Seraph·Siya could end the battle within one second with a single SSS-rank Blood Devour·Life Sacrifice.
However, just as Lin Mo was about to summon Divine Descent Seraph·Siya, he discovered that Divine Descent Seraph·Siya was not in the pet space.
Lin Mo's hairs stood on their end.
He quickly summoned Blackgold·Strong-Maned Pig and finished the match as quickly as possible.
When Lin Mo was teleported from the arena back to the competition hall, Ning Xi had just finished a solo match and come out as well.
Seeing the uneasy look on Lin Mo's face, Ning Xi seemed to sense that something was wrong, "Brother Lin Mo, what's wrong?"
Lin Mo checked the pet space.
He said in shock, "Siya is gone!"
