The green-skinned Merchant, whose appearance was even more crooked than the Goblin Warrior's, extended a friendly hand to Wu Feng. He had a fawning expression, his facial wrinkles deep enough to trap mosquitoes.
Grandet's name made Wu Feng exclaim internally, "What a character!" Having read many books from a century ago, Wu Feng naturally knew the name Grandet, but he had no other choice now and could only let this Goblin Merchant make money first.
Wu Feng still revealed a benevolent smile: "Welcome to my Territory!"
After Grandet settled into the Goblin Shop, he immediately tidied the place up, and various items for sale appeared on the previously empty shelves.
The attributes of the Goblin Shop also changed accordingly.
Goblin Shop: Special Building （ Excellent Quality ）, can sell various items up to Excellent Quality. Restock speed is 4 hours. Currently Level 1 Shop. Upon turnover exceeding 100,000 Magic Crystals, it can be upgraded to Level 2 Shop.
The Level 1 Goblin Shop was just a Wooden House occupying several hundred meters, even the shelves were made of wood. It now displayed items like Spearman Summoning Cards and Arrow Tower Blueprints.
With a Shop, Magic Crystals finally had a use!
Wu Feng skimmed past resources and items, locking onto the most useful items for him: Treasure Chest Keys, Resource Crystals, and Summoning Scrolls.
Resource Crystal （ White ）: Selling price 32 Magic Crystals/piece, current quantity 20 pieces.
Resource Crystal （ Green ）: Selling price 95 Magic Crystals/piece, current quantity 5 pieces.
Summoning Scroll （ White ）: Selling price 50 Magic Crystals/sheet, current quantity 20 sheets.
Summoning Scroll （ Green ）: Selling price 200 Magic Crystals/sheet, current quantity 5 sheets.
Treasure Chest Key （ White ）: Selling price 120 Magic Crystals/piece, current quantity 15 pieces.
Treasure Chest Key （ Green ）: Selling price 300 Magic Crystals/piece, current quantity 3 pieces.
These three types of items could trigger One Shot Soul Infusion, so Wu Feng naturally prioritized purchasing them to use his resources wisely!
During the 3 hours it took to construct the Goblin Shop, Wu Feng cleared two Monster Lairs and obtained quite a bit of Magic Crystals. He now possessed a full 1,800 Magic Crystals, enough to instantly buy all the Resource Crystals!
"Grandet, I want all these White Crystals and Green Crystals on your shelves!"
So Wu Feng directly swept the shelves, taking all 20 White Crystals and 5 Green Crystals first, which cost him 1,115 Magic Crystals.
Grandet did not expect this Lord to be so generous. He accepted the money from Wu Feng with a beaming smile, his grin brighter than a chrysanthemum.
Wu Feng was also smiling brightly. Although White Crystals could yield a maximum of 30 Magic Crystals, selling them for 32 Magic Crystals was already quite a fair price.
This was because the Common Resources yielded by White Crystals were very important; these resources were needed for almost everything in the mid to late stages. In established Abysses with stable prices, 1 unit of Common Resource was generally stable around 18-22 Magic Crystals.
Therefore, in those Abysses, the price of 1 White Crystal was roughly around 32-40 Magic Crystals.
New players buying Resource Crystals essentially exchanged Magic Crystals for resources.
Wu Feng was different; he could not only exchange for resources but even earn Magic Crystals!
"Including the White Crystals and Green Crystals I dropped previously, I now have 32 White Crystals and 7 Green Crystals, enough for 3 rounds of Lottery Draws!"
Wu Feng stuck to his previous strategy for Resource Crystals: using 9 White Crystals to test the waters first, then using 1 Green Crystal for potentially greater returns.

In 3 rounds of Lottery Draws, Wu Feng's Green Crystal returns were excellent, earning him back 1,580 Magic Crystals. Including the returns from White Crystals, he gained over 1,900 Magic Crystals from the 3 rounds.
Compared to the expenditure, Wu Feng actually had more Magic Crystals left. One Shot Soul Infusion truly lived up to its Mythical Grade Talent reputation!
"Grandet, I want all these Treasure Chest Keys too!" Having money, Wu Feng immediately went shopping again. After comparing Summoning Scrolls and Treasure Chest Keys, Wu Feng ultimately chose the Treasure Chest Keys.
The items yielded by Summoning Scrolls had too narrow a scope—only Commoners, Troops, or Heroes. Wu Feng didn't have a great need for those right now, so he wasn't in a hurry to buy them.
Treasure Chest Keys, however, could yield various items, and Wu Feng was hoping to get a Challenge Token!
Hearing that Wu Feng wanted to buy more, Grandet's smile grew even brighter: "Lord, you truly are an outstanding figure among men, a future Supreme Being in the making!"
Listening to Grandet's sickening flattery, Wu Feng silenced him with a single sentence: "Then give me a discount? Consider it an investment in the future Supreme Being!"
Hearing a request to earn less money was even more unacceptable to Grandet than killing him: "Lord, this humble one only runs a small business, please don't make things difficult for me! This humble one will go restock for you immediately!"
Grandet quickly vanished into the Shop; he was going to restock. The Resource Crystals and Treasure Chest Keys Wu Feng just bought would take 4 hours to replenish.
Wu Feng shook his head. He spent 2,700 Magic Crystals and obtained 15 White Treasure Chest Keys and 3 Green Treasure Chest Keys, enough for two Ten Consecutive Draws.
The 20 White Treasure Chest Keys dissolved into specks of Starlight in his hands. One Shot Soul Infusion activated again, causing the items yielded from the Chests to upgrade from Green to Blue!
【 Ding... Ten Consecutive Draws （ Treasure Chest Key ） successful, One Shot Soul Infusion Talent triggered. The Small Land Plot you obtained （ Green ） Quality increased by 1 level. You obtained a Medium Hunting Plot （ Blue ）. 】
【 Ding... Ten Consecutive Draws （ Treasure Chest Key ） successful, One Shot Soul Infusion Talent triggered. The Tomb Blueprint you obtained （ Green ） Quality increased by 1 level. You obtained a Death Chamber Blueprint （ Blue ）. 】
White Treasure Chest Keys had a 10% chance of yielding Green Items, and Wu Feng's luck was good; both Ten Consecutive Draws yielded Green Items.
Besides the Land Plot and Defense Tower Summoning Card that were Enhanced into Blue Items, Wu Feng also obtained 6 units of Coarse Rice （ Gray ）, 3 units of Rotten Wood （ Gray ）, 3 units of Crushed Stone Material （ Gray ）, 3 Miniature Land Plots （ White ）, 2 Resource Crystals （ White ）, and 2 Summoning Scrolls （ White ）.
Gray Items and White Items were mixed together, leaving Wu Feng with a pile of miscellaneous things.
He set the Gray Items aside for now. These White Items were quite decent, especially the Miniature Land Plots, which could perfectly complement the Medium Hunting Plot for rapid expansion.
Medium Hunting Plot: Special Plot （ Fine Quality ）, can Purify 16 units （ 400m*400m ） of Abyss Scorched Earth into a Level 3 Plot, and increase the Drop Rate of enemies killed on that Plot by 50%.
A Medium Hunting Plot can Purify 16 units of Abyss Scorched Earth at once, and the Plot it evolves into is Level 3, meaning it produces 4 times the Magic Crystals per hour compared to a Level 1 Plot!
The output rule for Plot upgrades is that Level 2 Plots produce double that of Level 1, Level 3 Plots produce double that of Level 2, and so on.
16 units of Level 3 Plot can produce 64 Magic Crystals per hour! Its value is immense.
However, it must be a 4x4 square Plot, so Wu Feng needed to clear out the corresponding area first.
"Vigus, time to get to work!" Wu Feng immediately summoned Vigus, and the Succubus Maiden excitedly flew back to the edge of the Territory.
Vigus was tasked with clearing the Demonic Monsters on the surrounding Plots. Her efficiency was high; she swept through everything, and Wu Feng only needed to focus on Purifying the Plots.
He had now advanced to Lord Level 3, increasing his Land Plot Authority to 9 slots, gaining 5 new Plot Authorities. Combined with the 3 Miniature Land Plots, this could double his Territory Area!
Wu Feng used the Miniature Land Plots and Purification Authority to extend his Territory towards the Northwest Direction, extending the 8-unit sized Territory out a distance diagonally.
His Territory was now only 2 grid units away from the Little Demon Lair.
Once the 4x4 area centered around the Little Demon Lair was cleared and converted into Hunting Plots, Wu Feng's Territory could completely envelop the Demon Lair!
"By then, relying on the increased Drop Rate from the Hunting Plots, the returns from clearing the Little Demon Lair will increase significantly!"
