Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 709: Chapter 564: Breakthrough, Mid-Stage Tier 10

City of the Gods.

This small city, a thousand meters deep, has been swarmed with throngs of visitors.

"Ah, is this the legendary... city built by the gods?"

"Yes, that famous rebellion in the Snow and Wind Nation happened because they bought goods from the God of Merchants’ store."

"A hundredfold battle strength? How could it be exaggerated to such an extent!"

Countless people were eagerly discussing.

The gods are really getting more and more absurd. freёwebnovel.com

If it was the gods’ own power that could increase a hundredfold, they could understand, but to distribute this power and even sell it?

Aren’t these gods afraid of mortals slaying gods?

Truly careless!

Or perhaps the gods don’t fear the humble and weak mortals at all?

The gods don’t care?

Divers came and went in the sky, all transporting goods.

A tall young figure arrived here, and Surya listened to the surrounding sounds, "See, here they are all discussing God."

Beside him, a figure draped in a black cloak whispered:

"Many goods are sold here, with the various auction subsidiaries left by the God of Merchants selling very well."

These two had been diving in this sea area, only entering from the other side of the ocean, and only recently learned about the major changes here.

"Of course."

Surya laughed: "The blessings from those equipment are indeed quite useful."

"At least they greatly enhance the speed of building civil technologies, cities, and the intensity of security."

But why is it said that those equipment only improve the quality of life for residents?

Because, like other gods, the God of Merchants’ divine power fails at the seabed.

Once you reach the sea, Chaos will destroy all your top-tier equipment...

So.

Wearing a lot of equipment, although it can increase your hundredfold base combat strength... cannot be used in underwater battles.

This is also the subtle balance of the Tenth Tier era.

But this so-called balance still seriously affects the Tenth Tier ecological environment.

Although they can’t fight in the Sea of Chaos, in the city without contacting Chaos, donning the equipment can increase the average base by a hundredfold...

This is very impressive.

Whether it’s the city’s construction team or city security maintenance...

They all greatly enhance the city’s security capabilities.

Entering a tavern, Surya and the Longevity God sat down and heard a group of people discussing this new era.

"The God of Merchants is truly terrifying! A strength increase of over a hundredfold, and I’m just an ordinary early-stage Tenth Tier, can match mid to late-stage combat strength?"

"I’m going to be invincible."

"Wishful thinking, those top-notch perfect Tenth Tier warriors have an even bigger strength boost!"

"It’s a pity that we can’t use it in the Sea of Chaos battles."

"It’s already enough, if it can’t be used in the sea, it can be used in the city, what does that mean?"

"This means that the strength of the sea’s powerful ones doesn’t change, while the strength of the city’s guards increases a hundredfold... in the future, attacking a city will almost be impossible!"

These people continued discussing, each with animated expressions.

In the future, it’s truly the fortress era!

It’s my home, come and destroy it.

Suddenly, it feels completely secure.

The changes in the new version kept them engrossed.

Some even thought, if only the God of Merchants had been there before, fully arming the Royal Guards in the city’s Nation of Waves... freewebnoveℓ.com

With their hundredfold battle strength increase, not even the Destroyer God Bal could have broken into the city!

"It seems that Bal, the God of Chaos’s counter-god, must be the God of Merchants after all."

"Exactly, exactly."

"Yes, it’s said that the God of Chaos Bal will unseal himself in a hundred years, by then attacking cities once more will depend on the defensive power provided by the God of Merchants!"

"Exactly, according to top scholars’ analysis, the Destroyer’s power changes with water pressure! If a city has a 100-fold defensive power increase, the 5000-meter-level Destroyer God certainly can’t break it."

"How much water pressure is needed?"

"An 80,000-meter Bal can break through our city enhanced by a 100-fold increase."

"Ah! We must be really grateful to the God of Merchants, otherwise the Destroyer God would rampage across cities, destroying civilizations..."

"Heh heh, the God of Merchants is the savior of the Destroyer God era!"

No matter how.

A new era has already arrived.

Next door in the Snow and Wind Nation, their battlefield is also keeping people enthralled.

A grand superpower can’t even take down a 500-meter rebel city!

Exactly.

Even their generals personally got involved, but the opponent, relying on incredible resilience, exhausts them to the point of oxygen shortages, forcing them to retreat repeatedly.

After discovering the secret of the equipment, the Snow and Wind Nation also attempted to purchase and wear it to reclaim their city.

But unfortunately.

In the Sea of Chaos battles, as soon as the equipment is worn, it shatters.

No matter what, they can’t take down this small city.

This made the royalty of the Snow and Wind Nation furious, their dignity in tatters.

This battle made all other nations’ strong ones laugh at the same time they learned the rules of the new era.

The strength of city-dwellers increased by 100 times.

The strength of those outside did not change.

Unless the strength difference is significant, there’s simply no way to breach an underwater city...

"The God of Merchants is making a fortune off war again." Surya sighed, "As soon as he sells the equipment, everyone starts fighting."

The Longevity God smiled, "Now, many cities have had a wave of raids, claimed independence, and nations can’t penetrate. These cities claim to follow the Black Sword... now there’s unrest in nations across the seas."

These two continued their discussions, marveling at the God of Merchants’ strategies.

Truly with a flick of the wrist, the world is turned upside down!

The entire world is buying equipment, even competing for agency rights, buying divine power shops from the Merchants’ subsidiaries, and setting them up in their countries.

Royalties of major Tenth Tier powers humbled like dogs in front of the God of Merchants’ agencts!

However.

There is more.

Not long ago, the bakery also started operations, selling bread.

The advertising slogan hits right where it hurts:

"Blocked by an ordinary Tenth Tier, unable to break the city?"

"Just short of time to capture the city, yet forced to retreat due to lack of oxygen?"

"Buy Divine Bread, specially made for diving, providing you with higher quality oxygen containers!"

"Enabling you to fight better, reclaim rebellious cities!"

Surya couldn’t help but curse their shamelessness.

These two complement each other’s market perfectly, they really know business.

...

80,000 meters deep in the sea.

Liu Jun was leading a diving expedition.

He had no idea that Surya was badmouthing him.

He had already left behind various business plans, delved into deep-sea diving, and practiced his realm.

Now, he was training at the 80,000-meter level.

After painstakingly cultivating three levels, he reached an astonishing Sixth Layer Tenth Tier level.

And it only took three years.

This was considered very fast.

Liu Jun glanced at the also-not-slow Fortuna, "Sharing wisdom with you, you’ve reached the Third Layer Tenth Tier, still not too slow."

"It’s already very fast." Fortuna was speechless.

"Let’s continue diving further down." The late-stage Tenth Tier realm requires about 500,000 meters of water pressure.

No matter what the future holds, Liu Jun first wants to complete the Tenth Tier realm!

Therefore, he planned to dive further down.

Of course, also to search for those ancient civilization ruins.
