Chapter 118

"It suddenly went up."

"Damn, how did the bounty jump to 300,000 all at once?"

"That number's already comparable to the legendary Chris, isn't it?"

"I've never heard of a hero-level territory lord having such a high bounty."

"Regardless, he killed the World Boss of the Far East region—higher bounty is only natural."

At this moment, the major lords across the world finally noticed Lu Cang's changing bounty.

Yet what they didn't know was.

This bounty had already changed before the World Boss was slain.

【Central District】

【Chengjiebu Sect】

At this very moment.

Wan Wan Baoli stared at the new intelligence.

He bit his cigar and pondered.

"Just what kind of being is Lu Cang?"

"I just raised the bounty, and now he's causing trouble again."

"Isn't this cursed one causing too much of a stir?"

"But his actions have exposed his location."

"It seems those crawlers are tied to him."

"Lu Cang's value on the black market has already spiked to five million."

Wan Wan Baoli opened his 【Social】 function.

He looked at one of his dozens of group chats.

《Underground Trade 1101》

【Faceless Buyer #11】: "Cursed One Lu Cang, purchase price: 300J"

【Faceless Buyer #15】: "Cursed One Lu Cang, purchase price: 350J"

【Faceless Buyer #115】: "Cursed One Lu Cang, purchase price: 550J"

The unit J actually meant (10,000 gold coins).

Lu Cang's name became a hot commodity in underground trade.

Many collectors wanted his head.

The Cursed One had become a limited edition.

Moreover, the Cursed One had special utility for lords.

Of course, this utility was not publicly known.

And Lu Cang's actions made it onto three world announcements.

His territory's upgrade speed, capped at fifth rank, was the world's fastest.

He also secured the world's first kill of a major event's World Boss.

His value had once again skyrocketed.

Although Lu Cang's head was not the most valuable among all Cursed Ones.

He was still among the top-ranked.

Even higher in value than some seventh-rank Cursed Ones.

Remember, each rank is a world apart.

The higher the rank, the more drastically the value multiplies.

A fifth-rank lord could match the value of a seventh-rank lord.

Even surpass it.

It was already extraordinary.

"The collectors really want Lu Cang's head, don't they?"

"Good. Then let me add more fuel to the fire."

After reading the information,

Wan Wan Baoli added no further thought.

He directly opened the 【Community】.

He modified the bounty amount.

He raised Lu Cang's bounty from 300,000 to 1,000,000.

Lu Cang became the Cursed One with the highest bounty among newcomers.

《Cursed One Bounty Notice》

The bounty price was changed again.

This time, every lord was watching this post.

In that instant, they saw Lu Cang's bounty leap from 300,000 straight to 1,000,000.

"What the hell?"

"The bounty went up again."

"One million?"

"This price is probably insane. With that much money, wouldn't a Tier 5 Lord have no shortage of resources all the way up to Tier 7?"

"Don't even talk about a Tier 5 Lord; even a Tier 6 Lord would be tempted."

"With so much gold, one could fully prepare the funds to upgrade a Lord to Tier 8."

【Bai Xu】: "Actually, I heard that the Cursed have other uses in the Black Market."

"Shh!"

"Don't say certain things on the World Channel!"

And as soon as Bai Xu finished sending this message.

A Lord immediately sent him a private message.

"Hello, Mr. Bai Xu, may I ask where your territory's coordinates are? The Alliance has launched a Warmth Delivery Plan."

"Please fill in your address so we can send you a generous amount of resources."

The Black Market is something that can never be mentioned on the World Channel.

Once mentioned.

The Alliance is very likely to come knocking.

Often, the result is silencing the speaker.

Unless one possesses enough strength to oppose the Alliance.

Then naturally, one can say whatever one wants.

For example, a Saint-tier Lord.

Even if they say something on the World Channel, the Alliance dares not move against them casually.

Of course...

A Saint-tier Lord would not be so idle.

To engage in such nonsense.

The increase in Lu Cang's bounty further increased his attractiveness to the Lords.
