I Can Get 1,000,000x Returns from Selling Anything!-Chapter 18 --Build Portals All Over Main City!
In front of Daniel stood a plump middle-aged man.
He was wearing greasy work clothes and holding a wrench, leaning against a pillar while dozing off.
[Main City Portal Administrator · Harold (LV220)]
Daniel approached, but the fat man didn’t even lift his eyelids, mumbling,
"One silver coin per teleportation."
Daniel didn’t move: "I’m not here to teleport."
Only then did Harold open his eyes, glancing at him impatiently.
"A level 50 kid? What are you here for if you’re not teleporting? Causing trouble?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
"I heard the portal has been experiencing aging and malfunctions, I’d like to try repairing it."
Harold froze for a moment, then burst into loud laughter.
"Hahahaha... You?"
"A level 50 kid trying to rebuild a portal? Do you even know who built this portal?"
"This was built by me! I’m an SSS-level engineer! I couldn’t even find the issue, who do you think you are?"
Ignoring his mockery, Daniel walked straight up to the portal and placed his hand on its frame.
Harold watched his movements, his expression turning to one of anger and disdain.
This was his life’s work! If this kid actually managed to fix it, he would drink three barrels of rum!
"Shit, stop!"
As Daniel suddenly stepped back and drew his longbow, Harold felt something was wrong.
He instantly charged, unleashing the full force of his level 220 warrior class, the air around him seemingly freezing.
His right hand shot out to grab Daniel by the neck.
If he caught him, this level 50 archer would probably be sent back to the city to respawn!
But just as his fingers were about to make contact with Daniel’s neck,
Daniel disappeared.
He reappeared on the other side of the portal, raised his hand, and fired an arrow at the portal!
Harold’s claw grabbed nothing, and he froze for half a second.
Half a second was enough for him to launch a second attack.
But in that half second, he witnessed a scene that he would never forget.
The arrow split into twelve beams of light in midair, accurately hitting twelve key nodes of the portal.
But it wasn’t destruction, as Harold had expected. Instead, it was... deconstruction!
With each beam of light that landed, a rune stone automatically detached and floated in the air.
Energy conduits broke apart automatically.
The whole process was smooth as flowing water, as if an invisible engineering team was working in unison.
Harold’s hand froze in midair, his mouth hanging open, as if he could fit a fist in.
What had he just seen?
This was a monster capable of performing twelve precise operations in mere fractions of a second!
"My gods, you... you are..."
Daniel turned his head, giving him a casual glance.
"Can I continue?"
Harold silently withdrew his hand.
[Ding! Do you wish to deconstruct this portal?]
[Confirm.]
The next second, a miracle happened.
The massive portal began to break down into countless tiny light particles, with rune stones automatically detaching and floating in the air, and energy conduits hovering in place...
The entire deconstruction process was orderly, as if an invisible hand were performing a delicate operation.
"What?!"
Harold’s wrench fell to the ground with a clatter.
"This... this can’t be!"
In just thirty seconds, the once complete portal turned into a neat pile of materials on the ground.
[Deconstruction successful!]
[Obtained: Spatial Stone (Core Material) ×1, Spatial Runes ×12, Energy Conduits ×8, Base Stone ×Several]
Daniel glanced at the materials, a plan forming in his mind.
He opened the guild panel and sold all the materials to Doom Guild.
[Ding! You are selling items to Doom Guild: Full portal materials, price 1 copper coin, triggering Millionfold Boost!]
[Boost option: Quantity boost/Quality boost]
Daniel selected quantity boost.
[Congratulations! You have obtained: Teleportation Stones (Core Material) ×1,000,000, Spatial Runes ×12,000,000, Energy Conduits ×8,000,000, Base Stones...]
A massive amount of materials instantly appeared in the guild warehouse, piling up into small mountains.
Daniel took a set of complete materials and began to rebuild the portal.
His hands moved quickly through the air, drawing energy lines that interwove, with runes automatically embedding and energy conduits precisely connecting...
Five minutes later, a brand-new portal appeared in the same spot.
It was bigger, more refined, and its energy fluctuations were more stable than the original!
Harold stood there with his mouth agape, his eyes nearly popping out.
"Legendary-grade... You must be a legendary-grade engineer, at the very least?!"
"But... but how is this possible? You’re only level 50!"
Daniel patted his hands and turned to look at him.
"Do you believe me now?"
But to Daniel’s surprise, the next moment Harold suddenly dropped to his knees!
"Master!"
"I’ve been stuck at the SSS-level for twenty years, how did you do this? Can you teach me?"
Daniel pulled him up.
"Get up first. I have business to attend to."
He pointed to the newly built portal.
"I want to build a teleportation network all over Luminara!"
"Major districts, important instance entrances, business areas, quest hubs... all covered with portals."
Harold’s eyes widened.
"How many materials and energy will this take? Plus, the main city council would never approve..."
Daniel interrupted him.
"I have the materials, as for the approval..."
He stared at Harold.
"You’re the main city portal administrator. Isn’t that your job?"
Harold paused for a moment, then slapped his thigh.
"Right! I’m the administrator!"
"I can approve it! Those old fools at the main city council don’t know anything about engineering!"
He rubbed his hands excitedly.
"So, how do you want to build it?"
Daniel opened the map and quickly marked the locations.
"One main station in the central square, one in the east district shopping street, one in the west district instance area, one in the south district quest hall, one in the north district residential area..."
"Also, at the entrances of major guilds, several popular instance entrances, and city gates... a total of thirty-seven points."
Harold gasped.
"Thirty-seven? The workload..."
"Don’t worry, I’ll provide the materials."
Daniel said calmly, "Also, once all the portals are built, you’ll get 20% of the income, Luminara gets 1%."
Harold’s eyes instantly lit up.
"Deal!"
In the next few hours, NPCs all over Luminara witnessed a spectacular scene.
A figure with a silver bow was flying across the city, followed by Harold, who was eagerly trailing behind him.
Every time Daniel landed at a spot, he would tinker with it for a while, and then a brand-new portal would appear there.
"John, I’m not seeing things, right? There’s suddenly a portal in the shopping street?"
"There’s one in the quest hall too!"
"There’s one at the city gate!"
"What’s going on? Is Luminara developing?"
"I just saw Harold over there messing with it. Could he have built this?"
"Don’t joke, Harold’s portals start malfunctioning after a while, how could he build so many, and with so much material waste, how could the city lord approve this?"
"So what’s the explanation for this then?"
