I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 130 - 107: Puppet Trial, an Unexpected Foundation Establishment Celebration!
Lin Chen thought to himself in this way.
...
Three days later, fifty miles outside Guangyuan Town.
Lin Chen took out two Martial Arts Puppets in a mountain crevice.
Then he took out two sets of Taoist Robes and bamboo hats for them to wear.
"Long Ba, Feng Jiu... take the Upper Grade Magical Artifacts in this Nanobag and go trade in Guangyuan Town..."
Lin Chen issued instructions to the two Martial Arts Puppets.
Artificial intelligence in the Great Xia Country was already very mature, and these two puppets would carry out the orders to the fullest extent.
"Yes, Master!"
The two puppets received the orders and rushed towards Guangyuan Town at an astonishing speed.
About a quarter of an hour later, Long Ba entered the Guangyuan Town Auction Hall.
Meanwhile, Feng Jiu was selling Upper Grade Magical Artifacts in a shop within the marketplace.
As for Lin Chen, he was observing the perspective of the two Martial Arts Puppets from a virtual screen fifty miles away.
Behind the auction hall, Chairman Zheng scrutinized Long Ba for a long time before finally stepping forward and saying:
"Friend, may I know your purpose here?"
Long Ba replied in a calm voice:
"You must be Chairman Zheng? I am here on behalf of Master Five Thunders to collect Spirit Stones. I’ll be responsible for all future transactions."
Long Ba produced the token to verify his identity.
Though somewhat puzzled, Chairman Zheng nodded and said:
"Master Five Thunders is truly cautious! Yet, in these chaotic times, being cautious is indeed wise."
Then, he handed over the Nanobag.
Long Ba took it and turned to leave.
"Wait... The auction’s Upper Grade Magical Artifacts have all been sold out recently. Is there more from Master Five Thunders?"
Chairman Zheng was a bit worried, fearing Lin Chen would cease transactions with him.
"The goods have been prepared long ago..."
Long Ba took out dozens of Upper Grade Magical Artifacts along with hundreds of Five Thunder tokens.
"These goods should suffice for Chairman Zheng’s transactions for two months... I will return once more in two months."
"Very well, very well!" Chairman Zheng revealed a gleam of joy in his eyes and asked again, "By what name do you go?"
"Long Ba."
Having said this, Long Ba turned and left, without any hesitation.
Behind him, Chairman Zheng put away the Upper Grade Magical Artifacts, his face showing some doubts.
"This friend Long Ba conducts himself like the wind... It’s just that his cultivation doesn’t show. Is it that he has no cultivation, or is it so profound I can’t perceive it?"
Chairman Zheng was puzzled but did not probe with Divine Sense to ensure good trading relations.
Meanwhile, fifty miles away.
Lin Chen observed all this through the virtual screen.
"Basic transactions and communication are fine, it’s just that the conversation is somewhat stiff." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
"As for the Magical Treasure that shields Divine Sense probing, it’s hard to come by... Currently, even if the puppet’s identity is discovered, it’s not a big deal."
Lin Chen was somewhat dissatisfied with Long Ba’s first independent task completion.
He decided to return and provide feedback, hoping the lab would refine them further.
He switched the screen to Feng Jiu’s perspective.
Compared to Long Ba, Feng Jiu’s task was much more complicated, requiring him to sell Upper Grade Magical Artifacts to shopkeepers.
Feng Jiu entered a Magical Artifact shop and after looking around, showed a disdainful expression.
"Does your shop only have these trashy artifacts?"
Feng Jiu spoke with contempt.
Luckily, there weren’t many customers in the shop at the time, and the shopkeeper quickly greeted him, asking:
"Friend, are you... looking for trouble?"
Feng Jiu sized him up, confirmed the shopkeeper’s identity, then took out an Upper Grade Magical Artifact.
"No, I’m here to show you... what a fine artifact truly is!"
The shopkeeper was quite angered but still examined the artifact.
"Hmm, friend, this artifact is indeed fine... But my shop only runs a small business, no need to speak like that, right?"
The shopkeeper was already showing some displeasure, suspecting Feng Jiu was from another shop causing trouble.
Unexpectedly, Feng Jiu directly said:
"This artifact, four hundred Spirit Stones... Sell it to you!"
This sudden reversal left the shopkeeper stunned, but after carefully examining the artifact, he nodded:
"Friend, are you serious? Don’t go back on your word!"
"I am speaking the truth!"
Thus, the shopkeeper did not think much and took out four hundred Spirit Stones to buy Feng Jiu’s artifact.
Once Feng Jiu exited the shop, Lin Chen sighed in exasperation.
"This Martial Arts Puppet, so bold?"
"If this continues, trouble is inevitable! It’s just fortunate the shopkeeper was too angry to think much... Otherwise, there’d be problems."
With this in mind, Lin Chen decided not to let the two Martial Arts Puppets trade any further and quickly retracted them.
Half an hour later, in a certain mountain crevice.
Lin Chen took back all the materials obtained from trading, then stored the two Martial Arts Puppets into the Purple Jade Gourd.
"Without a treasure that shields Divine Sense, these puppets can’t complete transactions independently."
"Otherwise, if a fight breaks out, it’ll be easy to discern their puppet identity..."
Lin Chen thought silently.
In the Cultivation Realm, puppets were rare but not unheard of.
For instance, the Puppet Hall of the Four Demonic Sects was best at the Puppetry Technique.
Its renowned techniques were twofold: one was Mechanical Puppets, crafted from various treasures and rare ores.
The other was the Human Puppet Technique, using a cultivator’s body as a puppet, erasing the Divine Soul, and using Divine Sense to control it.
"At the Guangyuan Auction, there’s not much issue... But trading with Loose Cultivators is best done personally by me."
Lin Chen thought to himself.
After the transaction ended, Lin Chen returned to the Changchun Mountain Marketplace.
This outing was merely to test the function of Martial Arts Puppets, but they were still not mature enough.
The next morning, after waking up, Lin Chen received a visitor in the shop.
"Huh, Junior Brother Li, why are you here?"
