The Tycoon God of Online Gaming-Chapter 901 - 902: The Magical Nautical Chart! (Additional update for ’Focusing on Collecting all the Concubines’, 3/5)
"If I may ask, what if there were more?"
The leader of the trade group blinked, looking at Chu You as if he were a monster. "Our Heart of the Ocean Trade Group has already made a very high offer. To exceed this price..." He seemed to have some unspeakable difficulty but nevertheless spoke up, "I’ll tell you, there is a Holy Artifact in this world, or perhaps it’s more appropriate to call it a mysterious Divine Tree. Throw 4,000 Gold Coins into it, and it will transform them into energy with properties similar to that of Deep Sea Rune Stones."
"Considering that the location of that Holy Artifact is a remote place for any region, I believe that if you purchase in large quantities, 3,000 Gold Coins per Divine Rune Stone is the utmost limit," he said, with a strange smile on his face, as if Chu You really had 100,000 Divine Vein Ores on him.
Chu You turned his head to look at Lin Luor, who had been paying attention to him early on, and consequently met his gaze without delay.
Then, Chu You inexplicably nodded at her slightly, somewhat mysteriously.
But Lin Luor understood the meaning behind this and slightly pursed her lips, her eyes bright as she nodded back.
"Cough!"
"Such a huge transaction volume; can you really handle it? Do you really have that much Gold Coin on you?" Chu You addressed the surrounding members of the trade group.
The members of the trade group looked at each other with odd expressions, as if... as if the roles had been reversed, and this young man was the merchant?!
And the content revealed in his words was very problematic!
Did he truly have such a vast number of Divine Vein Ores from the Deep Sea?
"Do not underestimate our strength; it seems necessary to show you," said the 11-Star Powerhouse, his whole body shrouded in a mysterious robe. A pair of black-gloved hands began to glow, and then a Gold Pouch appeared.
"I believe you can verify the amount of Gold Coin inside," he said.
Chu You’s expression slightly changed as he looked at the Gold Pouch of the other party. Then he saw the System’s prompt, which indeed showed that there were 300 million Gold Coins inside the Gold Pouch!
Heh heh...
"This storage amount is indeed astonishing. Well then, since you have integrity and a bottom line, I shall no longer hide," Chu You said. "To tell you the truth, I have at least 100,000 Deep Sea Divine Vein Ores on me." As he spoke, his gaze shifted toward the leader of the trade group, revealing his sincerity, "Having heard your painstaking explanation just now, I’ve decided to make this deal with you."
"Hahaha, wonderful, so shall we include the two items from earlier in our deal?" The leader of the trade group seemed quite happy.
After a moment of thought, Chu You soon replied, "I don’t want the divine staff that was projected. I want Fishing for the Moon at the Well; how much is that item?"
"That item was originally 40 million Gold Coins, but there was a discount because it was being sold together with another item. If you now choose to only purchase that one, it would be 38 million Gold Coins," the leader explained.
Without wasting more words, Chu You nodded, "That’s fine."
"In that case, we just need to pay you 262 million Gold Coins, and you will provide us with 100,000 Divine Vein Ores," said the leader.
"Of course," Chu You agreed.
"Haha, let’s make the trade then!"
And so, the two parties conducted the transaction. Chu You took out a pouch that contained 10,000 Divine Vein Ores, the maximum quantity.
The two sides carried out the transaction bit by bit; it wasn’t completed in one go.
A thin protective barrier that included everyone had formed around them, set up by the trade group members as a precaution.
In the end, the transaction concluded successfully under the friendly atmosphere between the two parties.
Chu You’s 280,000 Divine Vein Ores plummeted to 180,000, but his Gold Coin count went from 160 million to 420 million.
"May I inquire, esteemed group, does your Heart of the Ocean Trade Group have any special Time Acceleration Cards?"
"Are you talking about that peculiar item made by Jiuli God Race, which can speed up the structure of objects?"
"Exactly."
However, the leader of the trade group shook his head, "Our Heart of the Ocean doesn’t carry such a product, but I can provide some intelligence for you."
"Oh?"
"That is to go to the land of the Jiuli God Race, where there is a Holy Artifact capable of creating Time Accelerating Treasures (Time Acceleration Cards). I assume you still have Divine Rune Stones on you, right? If you insert the Divine Rune Stone into the Holy Artifact, the energy within the stone can be directly transformed into a Time Accelerating Treasure."
"There is no energy in the world with this property, the Divine Rune Stone is unique!"
"You should know that the materials required to make Time Accelerating Treasures are very complex, but within the Holy Artifact, there is a function like a blueprint, and the energy inside the Divine Rune Stone is just as peculiar and powerful, perfectly matching for the transformation with that Holy Artifact!"
"Thank you very much. So where are the Jiuli God Race located?"
Thus, the trade group leader told Chu You about the territory of the Jiuli God Race, looked over at St. Rahatia, and then continued speaking to Chu You.
"Night Ghost, are you still selling Divine Rune Stones to us?"
"That depends on the situation for now. What about it?"
"Well, I was thinking, our Heart of the Ocean Trade Group would like to set up a purchase station here, so if you have a large quantity of Divine Rune Stones and want to sell them to us in the future, you can just contact the members of the purchase station directly. We’ll come back again later. What do you think about this arrangement?"
"Hmm, that would be fine. If I really want to sell, I will consider your trade group first, but... "
"But what?"
"You are always sailing the seas, so you must have sailing charts, right? Can you provide me with one of your sailing charts?"
"Hehe, I can provide one for free, but I have three sailing charts here. If you want the simplest one, I can give it to you for free. However, if you want the best one, then let’s have a pleasant negotiation. That chart is the only copy and won’t be sold easily, you should understand its value!"
God damn it! A merchant is truly a merchant.
"What’s included in the best sailing chart?"
"It has coordinate lines, detailed annotations, and various changes in climate and ocean currents, as well as specific environmental wormholes that make transportation convenient." The trade group leader spoke with a tone and expression of pride.
"How much?"
"That item costs 50 million gold coins."
"Then, I’ll give you 15 thousand Divine Vein Ores and an additional 5 million gold coins. How does that sound?"
"Of course, that’s acceptable!"
"Alright, then let me take a look at that chart first."
Afterward, the trade group leader displayed the sailing chart in front of Chu You, and to Chu You’s amazement, he found that the chart was not a piece of paper, but a scroll, similar to an intelligent blueprint, meaning that one could zoom in and out on this paper, and each operation would cause the entire map to change!
For instance, when Chu You wanted to examine the details of Neutral Island in The Great Wave Sonata, simply by determining its location on the map, he could make a "spreading" gesture with two fingers on the map to achieve a magnified effect!
"This misty area here indicates you haven’t explored it yet, right?" Chu You pointed to a grey region on the map, noting that many misty areas would appear upon zooming in.
This was not a complete sailing chart of the Celestial World.
But it was detailed enough! At the same time, he realized how important this maritime chart was to him!
"Young friend Night Ghost, you can also locate your current position on the map, like this." The trade group leader simply pointed at the map, and a red dot appeared on the scroll. It was truly magical!
