The horizon of the Barren Land ignited with a soft, golden glow as the morning sun made its majestic ascent.
Fingers of light reached out, tenderly caressing the rugged landscape, casting long shadows that seemed to stretch and yawn, awakening the land from its slumber.
As the sun's radiant orb slowly emerged, its warm embrace blanketed the barren expanse, breathing life into every crevice and fold of the terrain.
The sky above transformed into a canvas of delicate hues – a symphony of pale oranges and rosy pinks that painted the heavens with an ethereal grace.
And so, a new beginning unfurled across the Barren Land, a fresh chapter written in the language of light and warmth.
Various merchants and people began to stream into the various cities in the Barren Lands.
In the Eastern Barren Land, Cloudweaver City, a majestic pavilion had a sleepless night.
The day that marked a new beginning for them.
The Su Sacred Clan's main store. Inside the stores, all the workers were ready for the opening of the stores, with a look of anticipation etched on their faces.
Standing atop the top floor of the five-story building, Supreme Elder Hua looked at the stream of people flocking into the city with a burning gaze.
"Open the store," she commanded.
At once, the command set off a chain reaction, with all the Su stores in various parts of the Barren Land opening simultaneously.
In front of the Su Clan's various stores, a dazzling armor shone in the early morning sun.
The Metal Bone Construct.
"Do you want to experience the magnificent power of the Metal Bone Construct?"
"Do you want to grasp the power of having your own fate in your hands and not fear when facing the beast tide?"
"The chance is here..." A sonorous male voice resounded in front of the Su store.
His loud voice gathered the attention of passersby, while the mesmerizing shiny armor caught their attention.
"We, the Su Clan, have chosen to let the world have their fate in their hands."
"The never-before-seen armor.... The Metal Bone Construct is only sold for 50 silver coins."
With the continuous advertising from the middle-aged man, people had gathered in front of the Su store, waiting for the final piece of news.
And finally, they heard it.
"What! How can it be so cheap?!" A voice exclaimed in shock.
"I-Is this true?" Another voice asked, not believing his ears.
"This is all true... The Metal Bone Construct only costs 50 silver coins."
To raise the prestige of the Su Clan, the middle-aged man added.
"Everyone knows the outstanding effect of the armor, but Su Clan chooses to sell it for a cheap price, hoping the people won't be scared of the beast anymore."
"The Su Clan and Clan Master put the will of the people before everything else. Thus, we won't exploit the people because of money."
"So what are you waiting for... buy yours now and have the freedom against the beasts..."
"We only have a limited supply."
What!
They were shocked for a moment before they rushed into the store with anticipation and elated smiles.
Everyone wanted to have the means to defend themselves against the menace of the beast race, but didn't have the means.
Now, the opportunity was present in front of them, and their excitement shot through the roof.
In a couple of hours, the stock of the Metal Bone Construct had all been sold.
Besides, the news of the Su Clan being willing to sell the Metal Bone Construct for such a cheap price was just spreading like wildfire throughout the city.
And by the end of the day, the popularity of the Metal Bone Construct would be on fire.
Inside the Su Clan's main hall, smiles spread on the faces of the elders.
They had long anticipated the high purchase of the Metal Bone Construct, yet they still underestimated the enthusiasm of the people.
In just 3 hours, thousands of Metal Bone Constructs were sold, while a lot of people still lined up in front of their stores demanding more.
Sitting on the main seat, Su Yen looked at the blissful smiles on the faces of the elders and nodded slightly.
"Clan master, we need to restock our supplies. Many merchants have already made massive preorders, while ordinary people are crowded in front of our various stores," Elder Hua reported.
"I know..." Su Yen creased his brow.
He had thought of various ways to increase the productivity of the blacksmith but found none.
"Make the announcement that the Metal Bone Construct will only be sold once a week from now on," Su Yen said.
Hearing this, the smiles on the faces of those inside the hall halted for a moment before they turned to look at Su Yen.
"You don't have to look at the Clan Master, the Clan can't meet the demand of the people. We can only make three to four thousand Metal Bone Constructs in a day. Thus, this is the best decision for us now," Su Lan said, looking at the elders.
Sighed!
Hearing this, a look of dejection appeared on their faces. This was the time for the Clan to make a huge amount of profit. Alas...
"You shouldn't concern yourselves about the sale of the Metal Bone Construct. The sale has just begun and has not reached its peak. All the profit belongs to us since no one else can make something like that. We have all the time in the world to sell it slowly," Supreme Elder Su Jie said confidently.
Hearing this, a look of realization flashed on their faces, and their faces regained their smiles.
"Now, with the inflow of money, the welfare of the Clan shall change," Su Yen changed the direction of the conversation.
"Every member of the Su Clan's welfare will increase by twenty percent," he declared.
Hearing this, a bright smile blossomed on the faces of everyone, and they all shouted.
"Thank you, Clan Master."
After the meeting, all the elders returned to their posts with bright smiles on their faces, leaving only six people in the main hall.
Su Yen looked at the five people below him and said in a low voice.
"I need to show you something."
