Chapter 914 191: Establishing a Cross-Plane Trade Route with the Golden Treasure Hall (2)
Of course, the prerequisite is that the Goddess of Fortune's divine power is still effective on things like the Origin Treasure Chest and the Glory Crystal.
Upon hearing Nakada's words, Lin Rui was thoroughly convinced: "No matter what, our territory has a long-term need for the Origin Treasure Chest. So let's talk about how you'll establish contact with us and conduct cross-plane trading."
Nakada let out a deep sigh of relief, his head undoubtedly secure!
He was also afraid that Lin Rui might be shortsighted and start a killing spree for a small immediate gain.
Now that it had demonstrated long-term benefits for the Golden Pansy Domain, it wasn't worried Lin Rui would conduct a black-market deal after the trade.
It just didn't understand and said, "Lord Lin Rui, you are undeniably a rational and wise Lord. But I truly can't figure out why you're collecting Origin Treasure Chests. Do you really value something as elusive as the Glory Crystal? Even if it has some effects, you wouldn't be able to use it, right? No divine spirit has ever been heard of using such a thing."
Lin Rui said flatly, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask."
Nakada immediately shivered; he didn't expect the other party to react so coldly, unwilling to discuss it further.
He quickly switched topics, took out a red sword, handed it to Lin Rui, and said: "Regarding how to establish contact as you asked earlier, we rely on this item."
Lin Rui took it, and the system's voice immediately echoed.
[Ding, you've acquired the special item: Golden Treasure Hall Trade Mark: By placing it within the territory, it will slowly absorb energy. Once enough energy is accumulated, it will burst open, creating a small plane rift, allowing the Golden Treasure Hall's caravans to pass through (Note: Caravan size cannot exceed 120 people)]
Lin Rui glanced up at Nakada, realizing that any power capable of conducting plane trades indeed had some depth!
This item, while not particularly powerful, meant that at regular intervals, the Golden Treasure Hall's caravan could be summoned to the territory to conduct cross-plane trading.
However, given the limited scale of the caravan, such trades would certainly focus on high-value items, making basic resource exchanges somewhat unworthy.
This complements the Lusen Chamber of Commerce quite well.
Lin Rui could trade high-tier items he obtained from the Golden Treasure Hall, like Legendary and Epic-level weapons, at the Lusen Chamber of Commerce's Divine Throne Banquet for basic resources.
Basic and high-tier resources are not in short supply for the Empire or the Lizardman Emperor.
The only question is whether the energy absorption of this Trade Mark is enhanced by the [Historically Significant] trait.
Lin Rui then stored the beacon and asked Nakada, "Have you brought the agreed-upon items?"
"Yes, yes," Nakada nodded immediately, "One Origin Treasure Chest, three thousand Mythical Material: Rainbow Oak, thirty billion Spirit Crystal Coins, and eighty million Spiritual Gems, in exchange for the two Divine Core Fragments you have, Lord Lin Rui."
"To preserve these items, I didn't even dare to use Mythical Materials for healing, despite being severely injured."
Lin Rui nodded satisfactorily, appreciating Nakada's reliability, though it might be because it couldn't afford the 5% interest penalty for late payment.
Since they were to collaborate long-term, Lin Rui appeared quite generous, saying, "Then consider the Mythical Material: World Tree Leaf I gave you earlier as a gift."
Nakada joyfully exclaimed, "Thank you for your generosity, Lord Lin Rui."
Generous?
Lin Rui chuckled; that's because you don't know how many World Tree Leaves I acquired in the chaos!
Chaos is always an opportunity for those with ambition to gain sudden wealth.
With the destruction of the World Tree, many World Tree Leaves were burned, but Lin Rui's army, with its proximity advantage, gathered more than three hundred thousand Mythical Material: World Tree Leaves from beneath the trunk!
This could certainly supply the territorial army with recovery potions.
Of course, using them this way feels somewhat wasteful; however, with such ample quantity, Lin Rui could ensure that elite troops each have one!
Yet, as the scale of the Undead Army expands, even three hundred thousand Mythical Materials can't cover the entire force.
So he still needs to use them sparingly, and considering how high-grade these materials are, Lin Rui will certainly bring them to the Divine Throne Banquet for a good harvest.
Thinking of the bright future upon returning to the territory, Lin Rui's smile broadened, tossing the two Mythical Material: Divine Core Fragments to Nakada.
Asking it to hand over the trade items first, it would hardly dare to refuse.
In this world, the hardest thing is to collect debts from an Emperor.
Now, surrounded by the heavy troops of the Golden Pansy Domain, Lin Rui wasn't worried about it escaping, deciding on a hand-to-hand exchange of goods.
Nakada gladly received the two Divine Core Fragments, and immediately transported all the materials before Lin Rui: "Lord Lin Rui, please verify, all materials are here."
"Here's the Origin Treasure Chest." Lin Rui directly added this to his collection.
"Here are the three thousand Mythical Material: Rainbow Oak." With three thousand items, Violet and her team completed the inventory in an instant.
Lin Rui already possessed more than three hundred thousand World Tree Leaves, so he wasn't lacking in Mythical Materials.
However, Rainbow Oak is extremely suitable for the Golden Pansy Domain, with its Luck Level +1 attribute that Lin Rui couldn't ignore.
Moreover, when forging items, adding Rainbow Oak can elevate their Talent Level by +1.
Yet it's extremely wasteful to consume this item. Unlike the consumable World Tree Leaves, carrying Rainbow Oak allows the continuous enhancement of a soldier's combat power.
As a power engine, even three thousand, thirty thousand, or three hundred thousand portions would never be too much.
While World Tree Leaves demonstrate Mythical-level abilities at the tactical level, Rainbow Oak undoubtedly leans towards strategic attributes.
So Lin Rui said, "There's no need to count the thirty billion Spirit Crystal Coins and eighty million Spiritual Gems. I trust that the Golden Treasure Hall would never be dishonest in this aspect for future transactions, especially since you need more Divine Core Fragments."
In the next moment, Nakada's eyes widened in disbelief, his hand trembling as he pointed to Lin Rui's right hand, "You… you… what is that in your hand…?"
Casually fiddling with the radiant Divine Core Fragment in his hand, Lin Rui calmly stated, "A Divine Core Fragment. Isn't this what you desire most?"
Nakada shuddered instantly!
It truly was a Divine Core Fragment!
How did this young man procure another new Divine Core Fragment in just three days?
Is your family in the business of producing Divine Core Fragments?!!
To explain, the red Trade Mark from the Golden Treasure Hall was only meant by Nakada as a means to placate Lin Rui.
He never intended to seriously conduct trading ventures with the Golden Pansy Domain.
What treasure could a small Explorer Territory possibly hold to warrant the Golden Treasure Hall's full expedition?
At most, they would send a small caravan to deal with it.
But!
The other party had produced a new Divine Core Fragment in the short span of three days.
Is your family running a wholesale business?
Nakada was so shocked that his brain ceased functioning: "Where… where did you get this from?"
Lin Rui calmly stored it away, saying, "Is this thing rare? I can pull out two or three more anytime I want."
Nakada drew a sharp breath.
Three Divine Core Fragments!
If he could obtain them, becoming a god would be close at hand.
His superior had accumulated for thousands of years, whereas he might achieve the same by merely hugging tightly the thighs of an opportunity within a short time.
Lin Rui's words weren't an exaggeration. Once the Plane War Reputation settles, he can exchange for several Mythical Material: Divine Core Fragments at once.
But with Yunning's case as an example, he wouldn't recklessly ascend without preparation, to the Upper Realm only to become a mining puppet.
Besides, Audrey and the others wouldn't agree; Audrey insisted on becoming a god alongside Lin Rui.
Lin Rui couldn't bear to leave Wutong behind, so trading a few Divine Core Fragments was not unacceptable to him.
