Currently, in the Ocean Crown’s unit system, there were Nagas as melee tanks, Lobster Riders and Tyrant Azure Dragons for charges, and Elemental Sea Pixies for spell damage, but there was a lack of long-range damage.
Originally, Dragon Blood Murlocs possessed some ranged capabilities, and their tridents had made significant contributions to the Ocean Crown’s battles.
However, the issue was that while the Dragon Blood Murlocs’ trident throws had immense power, the process of throwing and summoning consumed a lot of time.
In gaming terms, they could deal instant damage, but their sustained damage output was insufficient, unable to provide continuous suppression and threat like other ranged units.
Furthermore, the highly mobile Dragon Blood Murlocs standing behind the Nagas seemed to contradict the primary advantage and intention of this unit.
Dragon Blood Murlocs were supposed to be agile archers, attacking while moving, rather than being confined to one spot.
Now, there was a need for a stationary archer unit that could deliver large-scale sustained fire, posing a continuous threat to the enemy.
This Water Nymph Archer seemed like a good choice.
[Water Nymph Archer]
[Race]: Nymph
[Tier]: Second Tier, 7 stars
[Starting Level]: 5
[Skills]: Water Condensation, Water Recovery, Physical Resistance, Water Vine Entanglement
[Unit Traits]: Magic Vulnerability (15% increased magic damage taken)
[A long-range ocean unit with no significant advantages other than a good physique]
Seeing Ji Chen continuously examining the recruitment camp core of the Water Nymph Archers, the stall owner’s smile grew even stronger. He thought to himself that it seemed like another deal was coming.
“Besides this one, do you have more recruitment camp cores for Water Nymph Archers?”
“Yes, of course.” The stall owner didn’t waste any time since a big customer had arrived. He directly took out nine identical recruitment camp cores from his backpack, adding them to the one on the stall, making a total of ten.
Having ten cores was just enough, as having only one or two would result in producing only a few dozen each week, significantly reducing his interest in purchasing.
“How much for one?”
“One for 800 gold coins.”
Ji Chen nodded; this price was acceptable to him. Without overthinking it, he took out a large bag of gold coins.
“Here’s 8,000 gold coins.”
He casually tossed it onto the stall, the weighty impact and the jingling of coins as they collided immediately drew the notice of onlookers. Even the stall owner was momentarily surprised.
His expression changed.
He thought Ji Chen only wanted two or three cores, but he didn’t expect him to buy them all. 8,000 gold coins were not a small sum, enough to allow him to live comfortably for a long time.
Indeed, a big customer!
After a brief moment of shock, the stall owner suppressed his excitement and quickly collected the gold coins. When he saw that his gold balance had suddenly increased by 8,000, his smile became even brighter.
He promptly handed over the ten Water Nymph Archer recruitment camp cores with utmost respect.
When you have the money, you’re my daddy!
After receiving them, Ji Chen left leisurely, continuing to stroll through the streets.
Since he was already here, he might as well continue exploring.
After all, he would soon board the returning ship after the auction, and he didn’t know when he would be back in Maple City.
As he walked, he stopped at another stall, exchanged a few words with the stall owner, and then casually threw down 7,500 gold coins, obtaining ten unit recruitment camp cores.
[Crab Guardians]
[Race]: Crab
[Tier]: Second Tier, 4 stars
[Starting Level]: 5
[Skills]: Guardian, Recovery, Resistance, Taunt
[Unit Traits]: Life Link (able to share a certain amount of damage with each other, sharing a portion of their life)
From the name and skills, it was evident that Crab Guardians were purely defensive units, distinct from the Naga Berserkers.
It was also easy to see that they complemented the Water Nymph Archers.
In gaming terms, one was a fragile archer, and the other was a protective tank. Together, they significantly increased the survival rate of the Water Nymph Archers.
Having found two excellent units, Ji Chen was in a good mood, strolling through the streets like a boss.
However, he didn’t come across any units that met his preferences after that, so he returned to the Cat Tail Tavern.
After a morning of auctions, the event gradually came to an end. Despite the conclusion of the auction, the influx of people didn’t disperse immediately.
Many players still lingered in the Black Gold District, bringing substantial revenue to the shops, especially Luo Yang’s Cat Tail Tavern. As the most prosperous tavern in the Black Gold District, it earned in a single day what it would typically make in half a month, leaving Luo Yang grinning from ear to ear.
After a thorough calculation, Ji Chen had earned approximately 3.8 million gold coins from the auction, making it his most significant gold income to date.
Combined with what he already had, he now possessed a whopping 4 million gold coins, a substantial fortune.
With so much gold, he could easily deposit it into the international bank established by the Elves in Maple City, and the annual interest alone would be enough for his extravagant spending.
However, gold only held value when used, so while in Maple City, Ji Chen decided to spend it as much as possible..
