Chapter 916: The Silly Child Spends Money to Buy Issued Equipment
Nai Ge Li Si was utterly impressed with Seeing Ange; this dead skeleton was so skilled at deceiving people: "Where did you learn that?"
Seeing Ange tilted his head: "Minotaurs."
Nai Ge Li Si suddenly slapped his waist... uh, he had no hands to slap, so he stomped his foot instead:
"I remember now, it's exactly the same as when you tricked the Minotaur auntie into handing out rice. But when you make a body for her, remember to make one for me too. I'm still used to the Dragon form; I even have phantom limbs now, always feeling like I have two hands."
The Monarch retorted: "Do you call those hands? You can't even reach your own backside to wipe. Might as well attach two long ones to your bird."
Nai Ge Li Si rolled his eyes at him, turned his head, and muttered quietly: "I heard a wild Mourning Skeleton from the Divine Light Merchant Guild was captured by a mercenary band..."
Before he could finish, the Monarch covered his mouth: "Hehe, Nai Ge, you've been so well-behaved lately. Is there anything you want? Your King will buy it for you, and have Seeing Ange make you a huge Dragon body as well, okay?"
"Hmph, I now have avatars in both worlds and three regions. I can spread your glorious name throughout the entire Void at any time. I've even written your deeds into three separate books. You can't erase them even if you try," Nai Ge Li Si said fiercely.
"How could that be? What relationship do I have with you? How could I possibly erase your memories? No, no," the Monarch quickly said nice things and made promises, finally managing to calm Nai Ge Li Si down.
It was too embarrassing; this was his dark history. It absolutely could not be spread around. He needed to find a chance to bribe Nai Ge. If that didn't work, he'd have the Rock Witch and the Grand Sage launch a coordinated attack in all three places and knock him out cold.
Tao Xian was a fellow with an incredibly wide network of connections. Her network stemmed from the children she had adopted; even within the Divine Light Alliance, there were children Tao Xian had once adopted.
This fellow had the personality of the Death Star Obenli. Undead beings, in their long immortality, all liked to find hobbies to pass the time.
The Witch established a dance and song troupe, traveling across nations. The Grand Sage ran between every village and town, playing at reality construction. Du Luo Ken was addicted to alchemy and became the Alchemy King.
The least skilled was the Monarch. He liked planting things, but couldn't achieve anything remarkable; his level stopped at that of a retired old farmer, completely on a different tier from Seeing Ange.
Yet, ironically, Seeing Ange's initial farming skills were taught by him. Relying on such shallow agricultural knowledge, he had now become the God of Planting. It was truly too hard on Seeing Ange.
The Death Star Obenli loved playing the teacher, raising a Nation of Stars. Tao Xian, with her kind heart, couldn't bear to see others homeless; whenever she encountered lonely, destitute wandering women and children, she couldn't help but take them in.
Lai Si actually had this same nature too, helping others within her capabilities. They were all kind people.
It's just that Tao Xian was an undead being, also hiding a Dragon Soul, and had lived a bit longer, so she had taken in and adopted far too many people. Some time had passed so long that contact was gradually lost, but there were still many she could still reach. She took a list, went out for a round, and basically gathered everything needed.
Silver Coin looked at the few items he couldn't get himself, clicking his tongue in amazement: "Where did you get these Space Stones? I couldn't get them even by uniting with the Merchants' Guild. Truly couldn't get them. It's not that they were hoarding them and refusing to sell; there simply was no stock."
Tao Xian said: "It was a Dwarf I saved two hundred years ago. He is now a major mine boss in Dwarf Mining, responsible for mining Magic Crystal ores. These Space Stones are byproducts of the Magic Crystal veins. Their quantity is very small; occasionally one or two are dug up. They always store them up, waiting until the quantity is large enough to sell to the Mages' Guild. They never sell them to outsiders."
"So that's why. No wonder the Merchants' Guild had no stock; it turns out they were sold to the Mages' Guild. Pity there are no Space Fragments. The space refined from Space Stones is too small, and it cannot hold High-Energy Items or living creatures," Silver Coin said with regret and disdain.
Having used the Dimensional Space Seeing Ange made for him, Silver Coin simply couldn't look favorably upon such space items that held so little and had so many restrictions.
Seeing Ange had previously given him a Dimensional Space. Although a bit small, it still had over a thousand cubic meters and could even stuff living creatures inside, like kittens, puppies, and other small animals. At least, living creatures wouldn't die before the air inside ran out.
As for space accessories refined from Space Stones, the largest was no more than a dozen cubic meters. Just like that Sheikh's Space Ring, filling it with personal clothes, robes, hats, necklaces, rings, earrings, belts, hair ribbons, and head ornaments would fill it up.
As for the Dimensional Space Seeing Ange used himself, it contained the entire Chaos Plane, holding the whole Void.
Pity the Big Cat wasn't here; otherwise, he could have it cut off some space, seal it into a Boundless Gem, and it would become a Dimensional Space suitable for growing vegetables.
Tao Xian glanced at him, probably thinking to herself: What big talk! Complaining that space accessories have too little space? They're very expensive, you know! I don't even have one, Khabada!
"You should refine a Storage Space first before talking. As agreed, five hundred Magic Crystals per Space Stone. Here are twenty, that's ten thousand Magic Crystals. Pay up quickly. I borrowed this on my credit; it would be troublesome if I had to repay it later," Tao Xian said.
"Only ten thousand Magic Crystals? How much does a space accessory cost?" Silver Coin asked. He had previously learned the local prices; a space accessory, depending on its space size, activation method, concealment, decoration, etc., ranged in price from one hundred thousand to one million.
If it had some historical value, the worth was incalculable. For example, the Divine Light Ring worn by the founder of the Divine Light Merchant Guild was rumored to hide the Divine Light's treasure, making it a priceless treasure.
Tao Xian said: "Those available on the market are roughly twenty to..."
The price she mentioned differed from what Silver Coin knew. This was normal; prices varied by channel. The same item had different prices through different channels.
Silver Coin had learned from the Commercial Guild; those were basically wholesale prices, and the tiers were also higher.
Just then, Silver Coin sensed movement behind him. He turned his head and saw Seeing Ange smashing magic into a Space Stone with a clank-clank-clank. The Storage Space formed instantly; next, it just needed to be embedded into jewelry.
Of course, it could be used without being embedded in jewelry, since the main body of the Storage Space was just this Space Stone.
Seeing Ange skillfully finished making one Space Stone, handed it directly to Silver Coin, and continued with the next one. This kind of work was too simple for him.
Even Du Luo Ken, when needing precise operations, had to come to Seeing Ange for help. Seeing Ange's products were absolutely better than those made by the Alchemy King.
Before Tao Xian's stunned eyes, Silver Coin took the Space Stone, checked it, and then asked: "A Space Stone with an internal space of twenty cubic meters, Magic Rune certified, with fluctuation elimination, sold to you for ten thousand Magic Crystals. Do you want it?"
Tao Xian snatched it eagerly. Silver Coin continued: "You can only use it yourself. You are not allowed to sell it. You must gather the money yourself to pay for the Space Stone."
Tao Xian turned and ran away, excitedly replying: "Understood. A Space Stone of this level is worth at least eight hundred thousand. I'd be an idiot to sell it. I'm going back right now to set it on my necklace."
After she ran far away, Nai Ge Li Si said grumpily: "That silly child. You didn't need to pay; Seeing Ange would have equipped you with space accessories anyway. You were tricked by this treacherous merchant, spending money to buy issued equipment."
He turned and said to Silver Coin again: "Don't you still have to give one to Na Ji? Do you plan to take Na Ji's money? She'll grumble about you if she finds out."
Silver Coin laughed: "I'll pick an eighteen-cubic-meter one for Na Ji then."
"Damn, you treacherous merchant."
Silver Coin rubbed his hands together. After distributing these Space Stones, at least ten would remain. He could operate them well. Selling them would be a waste; using them to build connections was the most valuable.
But what was the most urgent task next? Silver Coin turned to Seeing Ange and asked: "My Lord, what else do you lack?"
Seeing Ange thought for a moment and replied without looking up: "Water, bird droppings, volcanic ash, divine plants."
