Chapter 448: The Surplus Is Called Foundation
After snatching the Mountain-Containing Embryo from me, he is now coveting my infant-stage Elemental Shellfish? Isn’t it too much!?
Master Jing Liu’s heart might show resistance in his heart, but his body was absolutely willing.
Even though he was an advanced Class 4 Creation Master, it would take him great effort and a very long period to produce 200 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls from the Thick Earth Elemental Shellfish.
Furthermore, Lin Yuan was expressing his apology to him by using 200 heavenly-maiden-grade pearls to exchange for his two infant-stage Elemental Shellfish.
It was simply too sincere!
Master Jing Liu said straightforwardly, “This old one has a good impression of you. Since that is the case, I agree to trade with you, and I will still help you to enhance this Burning Sunflower to Bronze/Epic.
Lin Yuan quickly cupped his hands and bowed. “Many thanks for the master’s kindness. But I shouldn’t trouble the master for such small matters. If the master still needs heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, you can look for this junior directly.”
After finishing the statement, Lin Yuan flipped his hand, brought a big brocade box out of the button-shaped fey storage box, and handed it to Master Jing Liu.
Master Jing Liu opened the box to look and closed it before even counting them. He then smiled and said, “The pearl light is reserved and overflowing from within. The color is mild yet clear. The fire elements have filled up the color pores.
“These heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls that you handed over are considered superior among other heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.”
After saying that, Master Jing Liu took out his mobile phone and took the initiative to ask for Lin Yuan’s phone number. He then placed the two infant-stage Elemental Shellfish in a Platinum fey storage box before handing them to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan didn’t even check the Elemental Shellfish inside the fey storage box and simply stored them inside his button-shaped fey storage box.
Master Jing Liu laughed heartily and said, “You are a good kid. This old one likes you.”
After speaking, Master Jing Liu turned and left the stall.
At that moment, Lin Yuan realized that all the spectators and the fat boss of the stall, including Listen and Liu Jie, were all looking at him as though he was some immortal.
Lin Yuan was rather helpless as he simply took out another brocade box which was also filled with 200 heavenly maiden-grade elemental pearls.
Lin Yuan handed the brocade box to the fat boss. He then looked at the Burning Sunflower at the stall and asked the fat boss, “Boss, I wonder what resources I can use to trade for this source-type lifeform with you.”
When speaking, Lin Yuan reached up and rubbed the back of his head. After trading for two infant-stage Elemental Shellfish and the Mountain-Containing Embryo, Lin Yuan realized that he was now a pauper.
All of the heavenly-maiden-grade fire elemental pearls he had collected in the Spirit Lock spatial zone were those that the Twin Red Pagoda didn’t absorb. Excluding the 60 additional pearls that he had given to Liu Jie and Listen, he had spent another 400 pearls, leaving him with nothing.
Lin Yuan might have used 400 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls to trade for plenty of strategic-class resources. Still, even if Lin Yuan had to die of hunger, he wouldn’t want to trade away these strategic-class resources.
Lin Yuan realized that his tendency to hoard was getting severe when he had control of more resources.
When something good was in his hand, Lin Yuan wouldn’t feel the heartache to give them to his companions. However, if Lin Yuan were to trade them away, he would feel the same as though someone was slicing his flesh.
The fat boss no longer had the expression as though nothing mattered. He quickly and passionately received the brocade box from Lin Yuan. He then slowly opened the cover of the brocade box before starting to count the heavenly maiden-grade elemental pearls inside.
After finishing the count, the fat boss rubbed the tip of his fingers as though he was reminiscing the texture of the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls that he had just touched.
The fat boss let out a radiant smile, however, he immediately felt a pinch by the idea that he had just thought of.
“Young Brother, this source-type fairy shall be given to you as a gift. I wonder if I can also exchange contacts with you? If I obtain any other good things in the future, I wish to trade for more heavenly maiden-grade elemental pearls with you.”
Lin Yuan didn’t think that he would encounter such a good scenario. When did his phone number become so valuable? An exchange of contact information actually allowed him to trade for a source-type fairy.
Lin Yuan had obtained two more infant stage Elemental Shellfish and could mutate them to produce more heavenly maiden-grade elemental pearls inside the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Those elemental pearls would then become the reserve of his strategic-class resources.
In the eyes of others, Lin Yuan might not be profiting and was actually incurring a small loss. However, Lin Yuan felt that once he nurtured those infant-stage Elemental Shellfish and placed them in the Spirit Lock Spatial zone for a few days, he would earn back everything.
Lin Yuan was planning to nurture the two infant-stage Elemental Shellfish into Thick Earth Elemental Shellfish and store up a portion of the produced elemental pearls. He was going to feed them to his contracted source-type lifeform, the Source Sand.
Actually, for Lin Yuan to upgrade the Source Sand’s quality to Fantasy Breed, he didn’t have to use the Mountain-Containing Embryo either. There were plenty of precious spiritual ingredients that could upgrade the Source Sand into a Fantasy Breed and continue to upgrade further.
However, the Mountain-Containing Embryo was a strategic-class treasure formed after many years of transformation in the underground. They could only be found in Class 4 subterranean dimensional rifts, where the earth devoured mountain ranges. The Mountain-Containing Embryo contained the transformation ability of mountain ranges. This transformation ability was very compatible with the Source Sand’s two Willpower Runes. It could be slowly comprehended and absorbed by the Source Sand.
Lin Yuan wanted to make use of the Mountain-Containing Embryo to enhance the Source Sand’s transformation ability once it was upgraded to Fantasy I.
Even though a massive amount of resources would be required, Lin Yuan felt that the cost would be worth it if it was to increase his fey’s strength.
After Lin Yuan exchanged phone numbers with the fat boss, the latter didn’t feel the pinch of giving away a source-type lifeform anymore.
In the fat boss’ opinion, if this masked youth was able to bring out 400 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls in front of his stall, it meant that this youth had an immense background. After all, one’s background could be seen by how many resources could be utilized.
There was a saying, “When a bowl is filled with water, the surplus is called foundation.”
If this masked youth could casually trade 400 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, it meant that the surplus portion of the masked youth’s resources could be used as he desired.
Forming a relationship with such a person was naturally going to be a great advantage. Even if there wasn’t any actual help, just having a stable channel to trade for heavenly maiden-grade elemental pearls would be a great profit.
