CHAPTER 332: SELLING INTEL

Soon, as Camilla and Jabal fought, the others finally noticed something was wrong.

It seemed that every injury to Camilla’s body was feeding her power.

Stronger, faster, and tougher, every damage Jabal did seemed to only make her stronger.

"Is this your genetic ability? What a monster!"

No matter how intensely he attacked, no damage seemed to affect Camilla.

It was like fighting an immortal enemy that Jabal began to feel helpless.

The condition for victory was either surrender or death.

Knowing Camilla couldn’t be killed, he could only try to induce her to surrender.

Unfortunately, it was a one-on-one fight, so he couldn’t threaten her with anything else.

As for restricting her movements, it was easier said than done.

"I surrender!"

Unable to think of any way to win, Jabal had no choice but to surrender.

Instead of wasting his time on this crazy woman, it was better to hurry up and quickly find another resource point.

"We’ll take this loss," Kell said, stepping forward with a wry smile.

Kell thought that, being in the same top ten thousand Ashura Ranking, their strength wasn’t much different.

Now, it seemed the difference in their strength was like an insurmountable wall.

Even Jabal, the invincible figure in their team, couldn’t defeat their top member; what else could the rest do?

"It seems you’re a man of your word..." Nash accepted the surrender with a smile.

He had expected the Lyra Team to keep fighting, who knew Kell would quickly honor his word and back out.

"Since we decided on the rules, we should follow them. Farewell, and may we never meet again." Kell sighed, signalling the others to leave.

"Wait!"

"Hmm? What is it?" Kell asked warily, thinking Nash might try to extort them.

"Have you already found another resource point to go to?"

"We still have to look into it."

Unlike Nash and the Nova Team, who could deploy hundreds of millions of prospecting devices to scour the land, the Lyra Team could only search one at a time.

They looked for dense gatherings of dark beasts or energy, sending scouting squads to probe whether there were any valuable resources nearby.

Although they could roughly estimate the grade of a resource point based on the density of the dark beast nests, it wasn’t foolproof.

To find a Tier 5 resource point, they had to spend a week or two searching.

"In that case, how about I sell you some intel?" Nash asked with a smile.

Their search for resource points didn’t stop along the way.

At this moment, they already had information on countless Tier 4 resource points and hundreds of Tier 5 resource points.

Not having enough manpower to mine all of them, Nash thought of selling the intel for a profit.

"Oh? Can you tell me about it? What’s the price?"

"The location is near here, only tens of thousands of kilometers away. As for the price, you can give us a million light elemental crystals."

"Really?" Hearing this, Kell and the others couldn’t help but beam with smiles.

For just a million light elemental crystals, they could get a Tier 5 resource point!

Although it seemed like a losing deal, the time they would spend looking for another resource point was enough to allow them to ascend dozens or even hundreds of ranks in the Ashura Ranking.

"It’s true. You can send someone to the resource point now to scout it out if you’d like."

"Then, we’ll confirm the information first."

Reading the coordinates Nash had given, Kell quickly ordered a team of Void Venerates to check.

With a dedicated scout, it should only take a few hours at most.

---

A few hours later, the group of Void Venerates returned with excited expressions.

"We confirmed it. It’s a medium-grade Tier 5 lode resource point!"

"Oh? A medium-grade lode?" Kell asked for confirmation.

He had thought Nash would only provide them with a low-grade lode resource point; he didn’t expect it to be a medium one.

"This is the data we gathered." One of the Void Venerates stepped forward and handed Kell the information.

"Good! Good! It seems the Lyra Team would reach the top 7,000 this time!" Kell laughed in delight.

The higher their rank in the Ashura Rankings, the better.

Although it may not be apparent now, once those top teams raise their shelters to level 5, the Void Administrator could activate its authority, granting them various benefits.

A higher rank was also beneficial in negotiations.

Like at this moment, with the Nova Team’s high rank, they could dismiss the Lyra Team without a fight.

Unfortunately, seeing that they only had three Tier 5 war weapons, it seemed most of their forces were elsewhere.

If not, the moment Kell knew they were from the Nova Team, he would have already taken the Lyra Team and fled.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Nash smiled, waiting for Kell to pay.

"It’s very good. We really have to thank you for this," Kell smiled, pulling the payment from his storage item.

"Here’s the payment."

Elemental crystals are divided into five grades: Attributeless, Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, and Top Grade.

With a 100:1 ratio from low to medium grade, Kell took out ten thousand medium-grade light elemental crystals.

Counting the payment, Nash couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

It seemed selling information was indeed a good business.

Just a useless Tier 5 resource point could already be sold for a million elemental crystals. What about the other information he had?

Feeling excited, he couldn’t help but glance at Kell.

"Do you need more? I can sell you the coordinates of other resource points."

"Ah, this... We, the Lyra Team, are grateful for the information you’ve provided. However, one resource point is enough for us."

Unlike the Nova Team, which seemed capable of dividing their forces, the Lyra Team could only act as one.

Buying a resource point, only to have it found by other cosmic teams later, wouldn’t be wise.

"It seems I’m being greedy..."

Seeing Kell’s expression, Nash stopped insisting.

"Then let’s say goodbye. We’ll meet again if it’s fated."

"Hmm, the Lyra Team hopes to meet you soon..."
