He said that Sherlock Claude has some spirit-attribute materials in his hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this message, Shang Chuan frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock Claude. As if he didn't know what kind of person that was?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting aside that Slave Contract business, just the Roland Island incident this guy stirred up back on Blue Star was already infamous enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a globally known 'imprisonment incident'—the most vile, massive, enduring, and far-reaching case where over a thousand young girls were imprisoned for over a decade, resulting in the deaths of over three hundred girls and the trafficking of over five hundred more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to an economic criminal like himself, this guy was a complete and utter villain. Dying ten thousand times wouldn't be enough for his crimes, and implicating his nine generations wouldn't be an exaggeration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, in order to pay off Lan Qingyou's debt, he actually had to deal with this kind of person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this made Shang Chuan's head ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that he was afraid of the other party; primarily, he just felt more or less disgusted at having to deal with such scum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the profit-driven Shang Chuan felt disgusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it. If it's dirty, then it's dirty. It's still better than constantly owing a debt of gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lan Qingyou hadn't explicitly said anything on her end, the sharp-minded Shang Chuan could still immediately piece the clues together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One moment she's asking him for a lot of spirit-attribute materials, and the next she creates the talent potion. Shang Chuan wouldn't believe it if you told him there was no connection between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Shang Chuan inputted Sherlock's name and sent a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"I heard you have some spirit-attribute materials on hand. I'd like to purchase them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no unnecessary pleasantries, Shang Chuan got straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there was nothing to chat about with this kind of person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock: \"Shang Chuan, the great merchant of the Abandoned Forest, maintaining ties with quite a few organizations in the Abandoned Forest. Your potion cooperation with the Tower Witch, in particular, has earned you quite a bit, hasn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after he sent his message, Sherlock's reply arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing it, Shang Chuan's tightly knit brows instead relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because the other party had investigated his identity so clearly not long after the area merger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically speaking, shouldn't one feel troubled and displeased having their identity thoroughly investigated by someone else?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, Shang Chuan was indeed displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking at it from another angle, the fact that this slave owner could investigate him so clearly in such a short amount of time—didn't that mean he was 'valued' by the other party in some aspect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn't know whether this 'valuation' meant they wanted to recruit him or sabotage him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, it showed he carried enough weight, and being targeted was a certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the 'Tower Witch' the other party mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lan Qingyou's official Title was 'Witch of the High Tower', most people preferred calling her the 'Tower Witch'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he was very clear on who the other party was talking about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"Are you selling or not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having gained some confidence, Shang Chuan spoke much more forcefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock: \"Selling. I can even give you a discount on the price, but you must help me contact the Tower Witch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Lan Qingyou practically never added friends, and even treated deleting friends as a daily pastime to relieve boredom, under these circumstances, even knowing he had been merged into the district where the 'Witch' resided, Sherlock had no way to establish contact with Lan Qingyou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, for Lan Qingyou, having a merchant to help her sell things, a chef she could order takeout from anytime, and an enforcer like Li Huai was already enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't need anyone else at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So naturally, she wouldn't add anyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"Okay. But whether it works out or not isn't up to me to decide. Just process the materials directly through shop trade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking it over, Shang Chuan agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock chuckled: \"No problem. But I need you to provide a screenshot of the chat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that Sherlock was worried he would take the benefits without doing the work, Shang Chuan didn't hesitate and immediately sent Lan Qingyou a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou had just finished taking a bath and was preparing to go to sleep when a friend communication sound rang out from her Magic Desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"A person named Sherlock Claude has a large amount of spirit-attribute monster materials.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou stared blankly at this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit-attribute?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did she ever say she wanted spirit-attribute materials?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, due to its limitations, the talent potion couldn't be used as a flagship product at all; its restrictions even made large-scale mass production impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since they were materials, she naturally had no reason to reject them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except the other party's name made Lan Qingyou somewhat uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a slave owner holding a fifth of the entire district's population in his hands—she believed very few people would like this kind of person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou: \"What's the situation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"The other party is willing to offer a discount but wants to contact you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou: \"Then forget it. Find out what region merged to bring him here. If he has so many spirit-attribute materials, there should be plenty in his area too. Buying them from someone else's hands is exactly the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"Haha, I thought so too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, he hadn't even thought of this layer, or rather, he didn't have the time to think about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, the materials were secondary. His main goal was to inform Lan Qingyou about this matter so she would remember his good deed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This could be considered repaying a part of his favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, feeling in a great mood, he turned around and summarily rejected Sherlock's proposal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he did so very bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't even provide the screenshot Sherlock wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"Regrettably, the Witch has no intention of engaging with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock: \"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"Exactly what it means. The Witch is very busy and has no time. If you have any potion-related needs in the future, you can place an order through me at any time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock: \"Alright then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn't see the screenshot, Sherlock still chose to believe Shang Chuan's nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even proceeded to trade the materials over anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock: \"Since the Witch is very busy, then please pass these spirit-attribute materials to her on my behalf. Just say that old Sherlock simply wishes to befriend her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"That's no problem at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, the two of them conducted their transaction 'happily' like this.\u003C\u002Fp>",1334,"2026-06-05T21:58:31.955Z",1,"novelbin.me","8dba13c31cf4d063a63d2e835aff2d978e1a755a1eb957e67d0fbeecf436eb61","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-72","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-70",965,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-cover.jpg"]
