Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 744 - 102 Transaction Completed_2

Without investment, there can be no return.

Before the strength of the territorial army, wealth is insignificant. With an army, one can have everything.

In summary, this item has a very low cost-effectiveness for an individual. Spending ten million Spirit Crystal Coins to buy it is sheer madness.

But once it becomes a scale, it's highly cost-effective for powers. Massively enhancing the military strength of a force is a value that mere wealth cannot measure.

Therefore, Lin Rui said to Nakada: "Your price is very fair, I think it's acceptable."

After the deal was done, Nakada immediately said: "Golden Pansy, can we now discuss the transaction of the Divine Core Fragment?"

Lin Rui shrugged and said: "Of course. However, the issue is, I have yet to decide to trade."

Nakada instantly became furious, roaring angrily: "Are you playing me?"

Facing the oncoming wind from the roar, Lin Rui was completely unmoved and calmly said: "I never said I would sell, did I? You asked me to get the Elf's Divine Core Fragment, and I said I had one."

"I didn't say I would sell it to you immediately."

Nakada retracted his anger and calmed down after a while, coolly saying: "Golden Pansy, you are right. But our chamber of commerce believes, with your capability, you'll soon acquire the next piece of Mythical Material: Divine Fragment. Then, could you sell one to us?"

Such an attitude satisfied Lin Rui.

To be honest, because of his promise to Audrey, Lin Rui cannot immediately condense the Divine Core and become a Divine Spirit.

So, even if he has two Divine Core Fragments, even if he has five, he cannot use them.

After all, Lin Rui has witnessed the predicament of the Elf Empress.

He certainly doesn't want, after advancing to become a Divine Spirit, for his woman to remain alone in the mortal world.

If someone were to take advantage of that, Lin Rui would be terribly upset.

Therefore, selling one to Nakada isn't an issue.

Lin Rui nodded and said: "Alright. If there's an opportunity, we can complete this transaction. So you should prepare the resources for trading early, at least mythical-level items?"

Nakada promptly said: "Rest assured, we'll certainly ensure satisfaction on this front. The lifespan of a Demigod-level existence is long. Besides preparing Divine Core Fragments, we're accumulating foundations, preparing mythical-level items needed after becoming a Divine Spirit. Our chamber of commerce will fully acquire mythical-level items for your selection."

"Is there anything else you need? Our Golden Treasure Hall will certainly do its utmost to meet your needs."

Lin Rui thought for a while and said: "There is indeed something, do you have Spiritual Gems?"

"Spiritual Gems?" Nakada was momentarily surprised, having always discussed the highest-end mythical-level needs with Lin Rui, finding such a drastic contrast from mythical-level to the most basic materials somewhat incongruous. Confirming, he asked: "The Spiritual Gem you mentioned... is it the one we know?"

"Precisely! The most basic kind."

"Of course!" Nakada immediately said: "Our Golden Treasure Hall is as rich as a country, how could this stuff not be plentiful? How much do you need? I'll give you a batch."

Nakada currently appeared very generous.

Lin Rui smiled and said: "That's wonderful, thank you very much. Let me see, approximately one billion should suffice."

"One billion!" Nakada's face froze, looking very unpleasant: "Golden Pansy, don't joke around. What are you planning to do with so many gems, you can't carry them all."

Lin Rui immediately took out his Semi-Divine Artifact.

[Semi-Divine Artifact: Holy Hourglass: Holy Radiance dawns, guiding the future, illuminating everything, benefitting mankind. Holy Hourglass, the sparkling sands, like stars, guiding the world. After activation, Spiritual Crystal Stones can be added to the hourglass, Spiritual Energy is absorbed by the hourglass, and once the quantity is large enough, Spiritual Dew will descend upon the territory's sky, benefiting all creatures, buildings, and vegetation within.]

Lin Rui remembered that last time he checked this item, the number required for the second activation was still at 114.68 million, now it has rapidly surged to 276.51 million.

The activation prerequisite hasn't changed, Tier One Spiritual Gems count as 1, Tier Two Spiritual Gems count as 4, Tier Three Spiritual Gems count as 16, Tier Four Spiritual Gems count as 64, Tier Five Spiritual Gems count as 256.

As long as the final count of gems reaches 276.51 million, the second activation will be possible.

So Lin Rui said: "I'm not joking, I really need billions of Spiritual Gems. Of course, if you find the quantity too large and can't give, I can pay for them."

The reason Lin Rui is willing to spend at all costs to activate this Semi-Divine Artifact for the second time is to have more Divine Grace descend, allowing more soldiers in the territory to smoothly upgrade to Epic-level.

Then using Rainbow Oak, allow more Epic-level soldiers to advance to Legendary-level.

And use Spirit Crystal Coins to erase the Command Value consumed by these soldiers.

Nakada was quite accurate in one aspect, the huge wealth in the early stages greatly aids Lin Rui, far exceeding a single Divine Core Fragment.

Upon seeing Lin Rui take out this Semi-Divine Artifact, Nakada finally confirmed Lin Rui wasn't joking or greedily exploiting the situation.

He solemnly said: "I misunderstood you. As an apology, we're offering you a 20% discount on this transaction, with no profit for our Treasure Hall."

"The price of Spiritual Gems fluctuates quite a bit in cross-planar transactions. Some planes produce this item abundantly, making it cheaper, while others are scarce, making it pricier. Let's calculate based on the average price of Tier Three Spiritual Gems at 35 Spirit Crystal Coins. Other tiers fluctuate up and down accordingly."

This price Lin Rui found quite agreeable.

Back when he participated in a cross-planar trade with the Lusen Chamber of Commerce, the price of Tier Three Spiritual Gems sold by the Tiger Hero was just 30 Spirit Crystal Coins.

However, their world abundantly produces this item, hence the lower price.

With an average price of 35, a 20% discount results in a transaction price of 28, even more favorable than the previous trade.

Lin Rui certainly had no complaints.

Calculating based on Tier Three Gems, only 17.28 million pieces are needed to successfully activate the Semi-Divine Artifact for the second time. And the transaction price is only 483.89 million, which is less than 5 billion Spirit Crystal Coins.

It's indeed very cost-effective.

However, gathering so many Spiritual Gems isn't easy, Golden Treasure Hall took nearly a day to supplement a large number of Tier Five Gems, finally helping Lin Rui gather what was needed.

And after completing this transaction, Nakada also gifted Lin Rui with 5 copies of the [Crystal Scroll].

[Crystal Scroll]

[Attributes: Item]

[What makes the Elite-level elite, apart from their excellent prowess, is their outstanding soul and abundant Spiritual Energy.]

[Carrying the Crystal Scroll, upon killing each Elite-level unit, its Spiritual Energy will be extracted and converted into Spiritual Gems.]

[Current Tier One Spiritual Gem Conversion Progress: 0/4]

[Current Tier Two Spiritual Gem Conversion Progress: 0/8]

[Current Tier Three Spiritual Gem Conversion Progress: 0/16]

[Current Tier Four Spiritual Gem Conversion Progress: 0/32]

[Current Tier Five Spiritual Gem Conversion Progress: 0/64]

Lin Rui just happened to distribute one to each of several heroes, allowing for faster future collection of Spiritual Gems.

After concluding this transaction, Lin Rui strongly resisted the urge to continue spending and said to Nakada: "Let's settle the remaining 2.9 billion Spirit Crystal Coins."

Nakada immediately asked: "Won't you reconsider? Our Golden Treasure Hall has many treasures! Even Semi-Divine Artifacts that you might find useful."

Lin Rui resisted the temptation, shook his head, and said: "No! There are other enemies requiring a large amount of Spirit Crystal Coins, settle it. I'll take it all away!"

After spending such a huge cost, training soldiers to constantly upgrade and cultivate them into elites, all must be regimented into the command of heroes and equipped with ample medicine, or losing even one would be heart-wrenching for a long time!
