There were all kinds of rooms, and most of the bets were not big. They were mostly below 100 silver, but there were seven or eight rooms with the same name: “Human Yu, come out for Uncle Bug! 1,000 Silver.”

Needless to say, the insectoids wanted to get back at him.

Luo Yu sneered. He did not know why the insectoids were rich, but he knew that he had to give these insects a taste of his power.

Keeping a low profile did not mean that he could be provoked!

He directly entered a room. It was another man from the Mantis Clan. This person recognized Luo Yu at a glance and shouted, “You’re finally out!”

“Yu, today, I, Sky Saber Mantis, will leave a psychological shadow on you!”

At this moment, many spectators rushed in. After all, a bet of 1,000 silver was too eye-catching, and it was a grudge game.

Luo Yu only sneered and waited for the start.

“3”

“2”

“1”

Both sides charged at each other at the same time. Both of them were very fast, and in less than two to three seconds, they crossed paths. The Heavenly Crafting Saber and the sickle attacked almost at the same time.

In the next moment, the two of them passed by each other and stood on the spot.

At this moment, the audience’s eyes widened as a muffled sound suddenly sounded.

Plop.

The mantis’s head was cut off, but Luo Yu was unharmed.

“I only need one slash to kill you.”

Luo Yu’s cold voice reverberated in the empty room. The audience was in an uproar, but Luo Yu did not stop and had already left the room.

This time, he did not leave the arena. Instead, he entered another room with a bet of 1,000 silver.

The audience followed closely behind and it ended with another slash!

It was one slash to cut the Mantis Clan, and another slash to cut the Great Turtle Scorpion Clan in half!

At this moment, someone understood!

“Weapon! The weapon in this guy’s hand is amazing. It can even shatter the exoskeleton of the Great Turtle Scorpion Clan!”

“It must be a graded weapon! Moreover, I suspect that it’s very likely a Bronze-rank weapon that has surpassed the Black Iron-rank!”

“Bronze rank? It should be at least Silver rank!”

Since he had completely formed a grudge with the insectoids, Luo Yu did not care about anything else and directly began to sweep through the insectoid rooms in the arena. In less than half an hour, he had destroyed seven insectoid rooms.

If he only attacked the Zergs, he would unleash the Zerg Nemesis characteristic to the extreme.

The main purpose of coming to the arena was to earn money. Some races offered higher prices, ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 silver, but Luo Yu felt that he should not be a match for them.

Those were all rooms opened by Arena Lords from the Dragon Clan, Ghost Clan, and Blood Clan. There was no need to look at people. Just by looking at the names of their clans, one could tell that they were the type that they could not defeat at all…

He looked at his silver and saw that it was exactly 10,000 points. He also received a notification: [Congratulations on obtaining a consecutive win. Your strength score has increased. You have obtained the achievement of a Black Iron Trial Tester.]

[Black Iron Trial Tester completed. Related technological chain and functions have been unlocked.]

Luo Yu was overjoyed. According to the description, one could unlock mercenary technology after reaching the Black Iron rating.

He hurriedly exited the arena and looked at his research column. As expected, the mercenary technology had been unlocked.

The so-called mercenaries were literally mercenaries.

He placed his information in the information panel of the Mercenary Plaza and set a price. If there were problems in other people’s survival base that they could not solve, they could spend this price to hire mercenaries to help them.

In other words, mercenaries could temporarily leave their survival base and enter other people’s survival bases.

To register as a mercenary, one had to have at least a Black Iron rating and had to pay a portion of the deposit.

Luo Yu carefully read the description of the mercenary system and discovered that this was the real way to earn money quickly.

There were wins and losses in the arena. On the other hand, mercenaries would definitely earn and not lose. The key was that the safety factor was extremely high.

Yes, when mercenaries entered another survival base, they had five seconds of invincibility. During this period, they would not suffer any damage. Once they had judged the situation clearly, if they thought that this mission was beyond their ability, they could immediately retreat and escape back to their survival base through the spatial door.

However, the deposit would be deducted.

When it came to a life and death situation, who would care about the deposit!

Unlocking the technology to become a mercenary required 5,000 silver and a Crystal Essence Stone. Silver was fine, but the Crystal Essence Stone could only be mined by luck or see if anyone would sell it at the auction house.

Luo Yu immediately searched around, but no one was selling such precious stones. He then went to the Mercenary Plaza to take a look, but there was not a single mercenary.

But there was no hurry. Even if he wanted to register as a mercenary, he had to develop his base. Under the circumstances that his base was absolutely safe, going out was the way to go.

It was worth mentioning that in addition to the technology tree of the Mercenary System, there were also professions like the Visitor System, Life Skill Doctor, Beast Tamer, and Herbalist who could enter other people’s survival bases as mercenaries.

Of course, it was impossible for anyone to be certified now.

Before going to bed, he chatted with everyone in the regional channel to discuss survival strategies. Needless to say, Luo Yu had gained something.

Fang Yumeng felt that she should buy seeds as soon as possible and plant some vitamin-rich vegetables. Otherwise, the human body would weaken day by day without these necessary vitamins.

Luo Yu agreed. After searching through the auction house, he found that there were people selling tomato seeds. They were not expensive and cost only 20 silver.

Early in the morning, Luo Yu finished washing up and went to catch another fish to eat. Then, he opened up a new plot of farmland and planted the tomato seeds.

When planting the last seed, Luo Yu hesitated.

Should he use today’s critical hit chance when planting or mining?

After hesitating for a moment, he decided use it when mining. He planted the last seed in his hand and walked towards the mine.

A moment later, he muttered in his heart as he faced the rock wall. Then, he threw a pickaxe down!

[Hundredfold Critical Hit triggered. Your mining efficiency, rare ore production rate, and other values have increased by 10,000%.]

A light flashed in front of him, and Luo Yu hurriedly moved aside. He saw a green stone the size of a washbasin roll out.

This stone was crystal clear and very beautiful.

[You have obtained jade: 500 units]

[Your mining skill has been upgraded to Level 3.]

“Jade!”

Luo Yu was overjoyed. He had another raw material for the defense core!

All that was left was the beast soul core!

After letting the Golden-shelled Beetle carry this piece of jade back, Luo Yu began to dig again. At the same time, he thought to himself that this beast soul core could only be obtained by killing ferocious beasts. It was an extremely precious thing.

It might appear in the auction house, but even if it did, it would definitely be at an astronomical price. At this stage, he was afraid he could not afford it.

As for the ferocious beasts, they might suddenly come out and attack him. There was also a chance of a large-scale attack at the end of the month. At the moment, there were only these two plans.

As for entering the purple mountain range to take the initiative to search for ferocious beasts, this was an act of being tired of living.

Let’s wait!

What made him feel a little regretful was that the rare ore this time did not dig out any insects. He was still thinking of using the horizontal jump again.
