Chapter 668: Chapter 408: Will there really be no monument in Starfield? Chapter 668: Chapter 408: Will there really be no monument in Starfield? “There shouldn’t be any left.”

The Tuberculosis Rabbit, who had been flipping through the calendar for quite some time, nodded with great confidence and said, “There aren’t any holidays in January, the only event for New Year’s has already ended, and at that time, Yi, you were still battling it out with that Wen Ping.”

“Next up should be the Spring Festival.”

“That doesn’t roll around until February 10th.”

“But Spring Festival is a major holiday, there should be a big event.”

As the Tuberculosis Rabbit said this, he continued flipping through the calendar.

“It’s such a shame about the New Year’s event; that was quite interesting.”

…

Chen Yi didn’t respond but instead looked towards his ‘Wandering Bard’ professional panel. Today was January 20th, and in two more days, this class would be over, along with all the special events it had been triggering these past five days.

To some extent, it had boosted the strength of all Blue Star players.

It had raised the foundation of every player on Blue Star by a notch.

That’s not right.

It shouldn’t be to some extent, but rather, to a great extent.

Time passed gradually, bit by bit.

Finally–
The date reached January 31st.

As of today, Chen Yi had opened a total of 5 million Grade E Prop Chests. Over this past half-month, they practically hadn’t done anything else but open chests.

The first thing they did upon waking up each day was to open chests.

Even so, they had only managed to open 5 million Grade E Prop Chests, with a whopping…995 million chests still remaining. It was like they’d barely made a dent.

Absurd.

“I can’t do this anymore.”

Chen Yi sighed lightly, sat down wearily on the beach chair, and gazed distractedly at the sky above. In nearly a month, he had mentally repeated the term ‘open’ in his brain countless times.

As a result, he now felt like he didn’t even know how to read those two words anymore.

It caused a serious mix-up.

He decided not to keep opening them.

5 million Luck Points should be enough; at least he felt there wasn’t much of a difference between 5 million and 4 million Luck Points.

He’ll take care of the rest slowly, there’s no way to finish opening these 1 billion chests anytime soon.

Not that he planned to keep all these 1 billion Grade E Prop Chests to himself. When he bought the chests, they cost him 61 billion Points, with each chest at about 61 Points.

But on the ‘Star Map’ platform, after days of soaring prices, the price of a Grade E Prop Chest had skyrocketed to 451 Points.

Truly absurd.

One must know that a month ago, the price of a Grade E Prop Chest was around 10 Points, with some even lower, and they might not even sell.

Only after advancing to Twofold Planet can one access ‘Star Map,’ the large trading platform.

And for players above Twofold Planet, a Grade E Prop didn’t hold much allure, so they wouldn’t buy chests. If they really needed a certain Grade E Prop, they would not resort to opening chests but would directly buy the desired prop, like the Air Food Series Props.

But now–
The price outrageously soared to a minimum of 451 Points per chest!!

The logic behind the price hike is simple.

The main reason is due to Chen Yi’s bottom-fishing, which essentially raised the lowest selling price of Grade E Prop Chests and led some people to speculate that there might be some special use for the Prop Chests.

Some guessed that continuously opening 1,000 Grade E Prop Chests might yield a hidden quest.

Others speculated there might be an NPC that, if given a Grade E Prop Chest, would provide a special reward.

There were even guesses that collecting all the Grade E Props might yield a Monument for leveling up in the game.

Amidst various speculation, the price of the chests began to inflate.

This attracted some opportunists, looking to make a profit on Points by buying low and selling high.

Eventually, the prices climbed higher and higher.

But wouldn’t the daily output of Grade E Prop Chests across the level-up game present a shock to the market?

No!

The reason is quite straightforward; put yourself in their shoes, and it becomes clear. If you’re a player from Threefold Planet and you find a Grade E Prop Chest on a map by chance, you recall that its price has been rising sharply, now up to 451 Points.

Would you choose to sell it?

If you sell, you’d make 451 Points, but as a player from Threefold Planet, you wouldn’t be short of that amount, so there’s no need to hurry. Besides, the price is continuously climbing; who knows, it might sell for even more later. Even if it increased to 1,000 Points, the profit wouldn’t be significant, and it wouldn’t affect your decision to hold onto it.

You might even buy a few more, just as a conversation piece.

This matter had become a hot topic throughout the entire level-up game, as it was something everyone could take part in. Unlike the previous Zenith Radiance event, where, for the vast majority of players, owning a Zenith Radiance was an unachievable dream in their lifetimes, regardless of its price increase, it had nothing to do with them.

But Grade E Prop Chests were different. Discussing with friends how much the price of chests had risen that day was quite interesting.

It was like the pre-Blue Star level-up game arrival of the World Cup, where many people bought sports lottery tickets.

Did all these people watch football?

No, of all those who bought sports lottery tickets, perhaps only one percent followed sports events regularly. So why did the remaining ninety-nine percent buy sports lottery tickets? Was it with the intention of getting rich?
