Chapter 772: Chapter 550: The Dark Clouds of the Temple of Greed Will Ultimately Shroud the World
Lu Yuan became more and more excited, bouncing up from his seat, exclaiming with great enthusiasm: “Makes sense! I said there’s a benefit to keeping some hidden cards, this esteemed lady is indeed smart.”
Miss Conch frowned: “So how do you plan to charge?”
Lu Yuan said excitedly: “I need to first see how much it costs to replicate the Divine Skill… I estimate that replicating ‘Craftsmanship’ could cost 3-5 points of Luck. It might even be higher.”
“Of course, I can’t sell it too expensively… 100-200% profit, that’s not excessive, right? I’ll sell it for 10 points of Luck each!”
Old Cat was shocked with fur standing on end, as humans laboriously build a fortress of millions of tons, only to sell it for 5 points of Luck, and the Floating Fortress costs too, after all.
And yet here this rascal casually makes much more money?
Still skimming openly?
Even humans themselves are getting heavily exploited by him!
This world is too unfair.
“Isn’t that too expensive?” Miss Conch couldn’t help but say, “If calculated in Spirit Essence, 500 Spirit Essence for one Craftsmanship… far exceeds the market price, no one will buy yours.”
Divine Skills can be detached, with normal prices around single to double digits, but, well… this thing is priced and yet not selling, transactions are relatively rare.
Moreover, according to current research, second-hand Divine Skills might carry the imprint of the original owner, so the chance of fusion failure has always been present.
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow: “Market price? How many Craftsmanships are there on the market? Moreover, plundering Divine Skills will offend a race to death, that’s an undying grudge.”
“My trade here is risk-free, as many as you want! 10 points of Luck, not expensive!”
“In addition to Craftsmanship, I can also replicate other abilities, like Eternal Spark, Engraving reading. It’s like opening a supermarket, filled with goods. The future is really vast! Not just the Northern Territory, the whole world is my customer!”
Faced with this historically greedy figure, Miss Conch and Old Cat were both stunned, speechless.
But upon careful thought, they felt that if it really could work, it seemed like a good thing… A willing trade, everyone got stronger.
“Wait…” Lu Yuan soon calmed down, wearing a bitter face, “There’s still a small issue, I don’t dare to use the [Temple] openly.”
“This thing is taboo, Ancient Insects swallowed the [Temple] within their bodies, never showing it. The Strangers’ [Temple] is also in Different Space, anyway, they themselves are fugitives, so one more [Temple] doesn’t matter.”
“Although the Northern Territory is still somewhat safe, it’s still too dangerous for me to use it so blatantly.”
This kind of risk, he dared not take.
No matter how great the benefit, he dared not.
If any disaster were to be attracted, the entire Northern Territory would be destroyed. And he himself would not find peace.
“Or you could break the barrier between Dream and reality, and trade in the Dream?” Miss Conch raised her curved eyebrows, offering another idea.
“This won’t work… If I break the Dream barrier, it means the [Heavenly Court Myth] is perfectly restored, or even further advanced. Currently, I really don’t have that capability.”
Lu Yuan spread his hands.
His inspiration was used to create the “Core of Ability,” so the repair of the Immortal Palace matters had to be postponed temporarily.
Without the “Core of Ability,” the work of replicating abilities would be a mere illusion.
Lu Yuan was very distressed, scratching his head and ears, feeling anxious.
Old Cat looked at his comrade acting neurotic and said, very speechlessly: “Can’t you use your Field Industrialization to cover it up? Even your Steel ability has become [Iron Block Field], can’t a hundred fields cover up an Immortal Palace?”
“That seems somewhat reasonable…”
Lu Yuan racked his brains thinking and soon his eyes lit up, realizing some key points.
“Field Industrialization, everything can become a field… I just need to create more compound fields, making the Ideal Rules chaotic.”
“Especially the abilities of Different Space, which have the best covering abilities.”
“As long as the [Temple] is placed in Different Space, theoretically the [Temple] is concealed.”
“In this way, guests entering can trade directly with me.”
“The name of this [Temple] is called [Temple of Greed], what do you think?”
“Come on, [Temple of Greed]? Wouldn’t that immediately make people think of you as Greedy Demon God?” Old Cat became increasingly disdainful, are you crazy for titles?
Lu Yuan explained seriously: “No, no, no, you’re wrong, ‘greed’ and ‘greedy’ are indeed similar words, but does anything related to greed have to involve me? Impossible! I’m just a weakling struggling to survive.”
“If in the future, I become strong to a certain level, I can rightfully make this name public and reap the benefits.”
“If I fall, the secret of the Immortal Palace can be passed to future people, and with the name [Temple of Greed] changed, it’s less likely for future people to be exposed. Really killing two birds with one stone!”
This argument was reasonable and convincing; Old Cat pondered for a moment and was persuaded.
Those in the know might associate it with Greedy Demon God, but uninformed people, actually… would find it hard to connect.
Yet in its heart, it grew increasingly displeased, because its good comrade had again found reasons to gain a lot!
Even more terrifying, this time, even humans would be heavily exploited.
The Civilization Points earned by humans from other civilizations, will be used to buy “Divine Skills”?!
And the greatest beneficiary of the entire Northern Territory turned out to be the Greedy Demon God.
The whole world was shrouded in his greed!
