Chapter 223: Opportunity for Sudden Wealth

If it were on Earth Star, no matter the method, as long as he could become famous, Lin Yifan would be willing.

After all, in that peaceful era, having fame meant having wealth.

But in this cursed place, fame isn't necessarily a good thing; for example, in this "Boundary Stone Contest," if the other races don't know him, the contest might be much easier.

Yet everyone knows him, and as soon as he appears they will be wary of him; without Aieriliya's help, his attempt to reclaim the Boundary Stone would be as hard as scaling the heavens.

So, if those Initial Domain Survivors are indeed being broadcast continuously, he must be more cautious about what he does next.

However, Aieriliya shook her head and smiled:

"You bring that up! Then you don't need to worry; your Initial Domain Survivors indeed have live footage displayed on every Intermediate Domain person's Light Screen."

"But it's not live all the time; the broadcasts we can see occur only when you receive announcement rewards, or when you achieve major accomplishments."

"Because you have accumulated enough achievements and received enough announcement rewards, you have attracted everyone's attention."

"However, you are not the only one with multiple achievements and announcement rewards; many others are even more outstanding, so you needn't be overly nervous—just treat it with a calm mind."

"Ah, so that's it!" Lin Yifan finally let out a sigh of relief.

Just the announcement broadcast and the achievement broadcast aren't really big matters.

Anyway, when he chose the announcement, he never intended to hide it, so being broadcast now is merely showing his face.

Although he dislikes showing his face, gain requires effort, so he doesn't mind.

At this moment, Ruan Qingtan had already started making dinner.

Speaking of it, the three of them have abundant supplies; Hong Shaoqiang excels at hunting, so meat is never lacking.

Although Ruan Qingtan isn't good at combat, she has a knack for opening Treasure Chests, and her Luck is decent, so she also never lacks ingredients.

Lin Yifan is the same; moreover, he has even cultivated many wild vegetables in Cultivation Soil.

These wild vegetables are ones he collected during his usual explorations.

Although not many, they make a nice garnish.

Nevertheless, given limited conditions, Ruan Qingtan didn't make anything particularly refined; she just prepared a hot pot.

Rice with the hot pot—at a time like this, that's top‑notch deliciousness!

Aieriliya's eyes lit up the moment she saw the ingredients, and she said with great emotion:

"It has to be your Initial Domain! To think you can get so many good ingredients—unlike our Intermediate Domain, where the wilderness is already dominated by Maggot Human Bone, and finding wild vegetables or meat is as hard as scaling the heavens."

"You have no wild vegetables or meat?" Lin Yifan asked in surprise, "Then what do you usually eat? What do you rely on to sustain life?"

Although Aieriliya and Lin Yifan aren't the same species, both are carbon‑based lifeforms, and protein and vitamins are indispensable survival elements.

If these nutrients cannot be replenished long‑term, carbon‑based life struggles to survive.

"Nutrient supplement." Aieriliya flicked her hand, and a small glass bottle appeared in her hand.

The bottle's design is the same as the sealed bottles once used on Earth Star to package penicillin.

The bottle contains a blue liquid; it looks rather surprising, yet Lin Yifan still can't associate this tiny liquid with a nutrient supplement.

"You're surviving on this?" Lin Yifan asked in disbelief.

"Exactly!" Aieriliya nodded, saying with a wry smile:

"This nutrient supplement is specially produced by the Alliance Experimental Center; it's said the material comes from Maggot Human Bone, but I don't know the exact production method."

"However, it is indeed effective for supplementing survival nutrition; such a tiny bottle is enough for one person's three days of survival."

"Of course, mine is of higher quality among nutrient liquids, so it's quite pricey; one crystal can only buy one bottle of this supplement, whereas ordinary supplements would let one crystal buy a dozen or twenty bottles, though those lack such effectiveness."

"Nutrition supplements even have grades?" Hong Shaoqiang asked, frowning.

"Naturally they are graded." Aieriliya nodded, explaining seriously:

"The supplement grades are S, A, B, C, D; mine is A‑grade, so it's relatively expensive. I've heard that above S there are even better supplements that can sustain a 100‑kilogram lifeform for a week with a single bottle."

"Of course, that grade of nutrient liquid is controlled by the powerful races of the Advanced Domain; we in the Intermediate Domain can't even access it."

Lin Yifan and the other two stared blankly at the bottle, their faces looking rather unwell.

Earth Star has many post‑apocalyptic movies that feature this kind of nutrient liquid; although it can replenish nutrition, humans' pursuit of satiety is more about keeping the mood pleasant.

So, letting them survive on nutrient supplements is worse than killing them!

"Does this thing taste good?" Su Xiao xi asked curiously.

"This, I don't know how to describe." Aieriliya shrugged, smiling indifferently:

"Anyway, it's just for supplementing the needed nutrition; no one cares whether it tastes good."

"Speaking of it, I was born in the Intermediate Domain; although my status sometimes lets me eat some exquisite food, it's still quite rare."

"We also have very limited ingredients, mostly from Cultivation Soil, but for some reason the food grown from Cultivation Soil always tastes far worse, making it impossible to create such fragrant dishes!"

"Because of this, both the high‑status and low‑status, anyone with some skill, would want to get a Teleport Stone to the Initial Domain for a visit."

"Because only in the Initial Domain can one obtain these precious foods, and if they can acquire some and bring them back to the Intermediate Domain to sell, they can earn a large amount of crystals."

"So if you want to become wealthy after reaching the Intermediate Domain, you can gather more ingredients."

What is a chance?

This is what we call a chance for sudden wealth!

The few present, aside from Su Xiao xi, all have the ability to obtain large amounts of food.

If they truly can amass food to reap huge profits, then indeed it is a heaven‑sent opportunity for them.
