I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 576 - 421: Trade and Mutual Benefit (Thanks to the generous Alliance Hierarch "Starting with a Kun" for the reward!)

Chapter 576: Chapter 421: Trade and Mutual Benefit (Thanks to the generous Alliance Hierarch “Starting with a Kun” for the reward!)

Dadao Gang felt quite helpless as he watched the other party stick to pleasantries.

The feeling of weakness and dependency is truly suffocating.

Following that, the internal vote on the Human side was completed, and most people did not choose the “extreme exploitation plan”; after all, there were mostly young people among the 29 members of the survey team, and everyone still wanted to leave some room for decency—even Lu Yuan, the Greedy Demon God, wouldn’t be greedy to the point of disgusting himself.

Fu Leyi sighed at the naivety of the young, but sometimes… Well, let it be, since this is the collective decision.

He could only change the strategy: “We have forged friendships with many civilizations on our way here… I believe this trade will be a win-win choice.”

...

“How about this, the ‘Spiritual Value System’ will sell to you for just 50 Spirit Rhymes. With this, the next negotiations will be much easier, and I believe this amount is something your alliance can afford.”

“And it’s definitely more than worth the price, you can’t be cheated, you can’t lose out.”

“This book has at least two million words of text! It details the prices of a variety of Extraordinary Items.”

Dadao Gang’s spirit was instantly lifted; this was indeed a price they could afford!

The Humans didn’t seem so greedy all of a sudden? Was it an illusion?!

A small doubt arose in his heart, and he didn’t dare to haggle.

Just now, the Underground Alliance paid the 100 Spirit Rhymes they lost in the Gambling by using 20 baskets of Mushrooms.

Therefore, they actually know how much 50 Spirit Rhymes really is.

And originally, how much did the Humans spend to buy this book… 10 Spirit Rhymes.

It was actually already a 400% profit.

Of course, a price of 50 Spirit Rhymes was not small either, he tried to ask: “According to the contents of this book, how much would a piece of Legendary Equipment cost?”

The Human Diplomat sat upright: “You want to sell Legendaries on your side?”

“Just asking… cough cough, if the price is right…”

“Legendary Equipment, containing the Civilization Fortune, if your side is selling, we naturally want to buy it…”

“You know, Extraordinary Items can be converted into Spirit Rhymes through certain methods, though there’s just a bit of a loss ratio.”

“As for the price, each piece is different and needs to be assessed personally.”

Since the Humans made some concessions and became less greedy, all of a sudden, the progress of the trade surged forward!

And the other party’s move was a big one, actually wanting to sell a “Legendary”—this situation was almost like when the Humans first encountered the Shu Mi Dam Civilization; Lu Yuan’s Donkey Head Mask was traded then… they were desperate.

It also makes one reflect, negotiation is indeed not simply about being aggressive; negotiation is an art…

After some research, the Humans proactively provided more information.

“That Legendary ‘Crack Earth Axe’, material value is 845 Spirit Rhymes, using 7.1 kilograms of Eternal Essence Gold, 1.2 kilograms of Star Iron, and some Mithril among others, this is the base material value.”

“Newly added Spirit Rhymes value at 1290, although just ordinary Solid, Sharp Rune Set, but wielding this Heavy axe, one is awe-inspiring, has a majestic form, and its brilliant light shines splendidly.”

“By the way, it can also uplift the wielder’s fighting spirit and significantly improve mental resistance, which is a very important attribute.”

“Combined with historical background and historic value, that’s why we evaluate it to be 1290.”

“Artistic skills are rather average, lacking a personal emotional touch, valued at 30 Spirit Rhymes.”

“With a little room for price fluctuations, we are willing to offer a price between 2300-2500 Spirit Rhymes. Are you satisfied with this price?”

Dadao Gang listened until his head was full of question marks, almost going offline completely.

He originally thought that the axe could be exchanged for a few dozen Spirit Rhymes, but he never imagined that it could be worth over two thousand?!

What the hell?

…

Trading a legendary, this is definitely a big business deal.

Even if the other party freeloads some information, it doesn’t matter!

Moreover, only by offering some information can you prove that the ‘Spiritual Value System’ is genuine and reliable, which is necessary to make a sale, right?

Humans are not pulling a scam, and for “hard currency” items that are easily valued, there’s really no need to ruin their own reputation…

Only the trade of technology and knowledge can bring high premium…

And behind the scenes, the Underground Alliance was in utter uproar.

The value of the Legendary axe was beyond their imagination.

The value of an axe could make all citizens struggle without eating or drinking for decades; damn it… everyone knows craftsmen are precious, but who would’ve thought they were so valuable!

The chief of the Bullhead Clan banged heavily on the table and shouted: “The ‘Value System’ for 50 Spirit Rhymes, buy it! Our assessment of the value of Extraordinary Items is completely wrong! We must buy it resolutely!”

Another lizard man also shouted loudly: “If we make a trade, it should be a big one! More than two thousand Spirit Rhymes can buy a lot and a lot of knowledge… we want it all!”

“Legendary Equipment can be recreated, but if we miss out on this information, who knows how long we might wander astray again.”

The Bullhead and lizard people indulged in a sort of confident sentiment: “Negotiate with them, how much information for one axe! If we can make an exclusive deal, that’d be even better, Humans are definitely a good, honest civilization! My Bullhead Clan wants to be their friend, hahahaha, cooperation and win-win, raise glasses and celebrate together, isn’t it wonderful!”

Dadao Gang’s hair stood on end listening to this…

You start by wanting to make an exclusive deal, how much will you be exploited?

But when you think about it, it does make sense. Just a Level 3 Spark has led the Underground Alliance down who knows how many wrong paths.

If human civilization hadn’t appeared, they would have genuinely believed that Level 3 was the highest possible level…

Imagine that in the late epoch, while others have achieved Level Seven or Eight, their strongest experts are at Level 3. That would indeed be a horrifying sight!

“Dadao Gang, don’t listen to the bull**** from the Minotaurs.”

“Let’s purchase this book first, and study it carefully… There’s no need to rush,” a command suddenly came through the earpiece, issued by the top echelons of the Alliance.

“Understood.”

“Also, ask them if they have any treatment plans for the ‘Ancient Insect’… We’ve promised to heal the Ancient Insect.”

Compared to the Bullheads and lizard men, the thinking of the Dark Steel Civilization and the Cross-eyed Clan remained calm and unaffected by these noises.

Dadao Gang’s eyes lit up instantly: “I understand.”

The Ancient Insect is the most mysterious cornerstone of the Underground Alliance…

No one knows how powerful that giant insect could become after recovering from its injuries!

All they know is that without the help of this insect, the Underground Alliance would have perished long ago…

For the past hundred years, they have been trying to find a cure but have always come up short.

Dadao Gang cleared his throat and said solemnly, “Our decision-making team has approved a trade for fifty Spirit Essences. Let us begin the transaction!”

The other party brought out baskets and baskets of mushrooms, all of which had been carefully preserved after drying and were of substantial weight and quality.

The human side was somewhat excited; Sky City had just earned half a year’s GDP, and even felt a slight sense of unearned guilt.

“This is a profit without any capital investment.”

“It would be great if we could have ten thousand more interactions with the Underground Alliance.”

Straight after, they handed over the book on the “Spiritual Value System” to the Underground Alliance… As for the translation and such, naturally humans didn’t have to do it themselves.

After the first deal was completed, everyone on both sides relaxed a lot and the atmosphere eased.

Could we be considered half friends instead of enemies now?

Dadao Gang asked again, “Does your esteemed civilization have any higher-level medical knowledge or biological knowledge?”

“Which area do you need?”

“Any area is fine… I’m just browsing so the experts behind can make a decision.”

On the human side, there was some confusion. Medical knowledge, in the age of the Supernatural… it’s not quite corner scraps, but it’s not the first priority in civilization exchanges either.

These days, everyone is strong and healthy, even a Level Three Expert can live for three to five hundred years.

Isn’t buying a “Level 6 Spark” a higher priority than “Biological Knowledge”?

But of course, the requirements of the guest must be respected. After a moment of contemplation, humans realized they indeed have high-level biological knowledge that they could sell!

After all, they had just experienced the Ghost Mist Disaster, and since the South Island Civilization (Merman) is a civilization with advanced biology, they listed the titles of this biological material on the tablet computer.

As for the firsthand data obtained from the Ghost Mist Disaster, people were actually reluctant to sell it.

It involved some civilizational secrets. “Deformed Ghosts” and “Blood Ghosts” were still on human territory. If something went wrong, it would be no laughing matter.

Professor Lu Tiantian, pointing at the big screen, said: “We have some expertise in the purely Materialistic Biological System.”

“These papers discuss the movement of proteins, how Idealistic phenomena affect the heart and other organs, how Idealistic inhibitors work, and what Life Essence really is…”

Dadao Gang looked, then shook his head.

As an Anomaly, the cells of Ancient Insects are different from normal carbon-based life.

Purchasing such papers would be, in fact, of little use…

Lu Tiantian clicked on the screen, bringing up a few photos: “Look, this is the D-Omega Potion developed by our civilization, which can eliminate free radicals in cells, improve physical condition, and extend average lifespan. Whether it’s ordinary people or Extraordinary Strong People, or even the elderly, as long as one is carbon-based life, it will be effective.”

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

“If the original lifespan is one thousand years, long-term use of this potion can extend it to twelve hundred years.”

“We can sell both the working principle of the D-Omega Potion and the corresponding machinery… How about 400 Spirit Essences?”

“That’s a bit expensive…” Dadao Gang frowned painfully.

“There’s also the Z-Dolan Potion, which is combined with the Idealism System, which can more quickly enhance one’s Divine Attribute. As you know, Divine Attribute growth is very slow… and yet this Attribute is critically important. As a Wisdom Civilization, the higher the Divine Attribute, the smoother the research into Idealism.”

“Moreover, Divine Attribute is related to spiritual power and the soul lifespan.”

“Of course, the Z Potion is more expensive… It might cost 700 Spirit Essences…”

…
