A Mentor's Warning
"Oh? You've heard of the Wizard World?" Saine asked.
"Of course, your Wizard World has been renowned in the Surrounding Starfield ever since you launched your attack on the Nesser Star Region 30,000 years ago."
"I've heard that besides the Nesser Star Region, you've also established battlefields in some other starfields."
"Not only have I heard of your Wizard Civilization, but even some powerful beings from other worlds that I have contacted in the past have heard of the fearsome reputation of your civilization," Babakulu said.
This otherworldly creature was honest in its speech, without hiding anything.
As Homeland Being the Wizard World, Saine's understanding of the Wizard World and the prestige of Wizard Civilization was not as direct as that of the otherworldly creature before him.
"Nesser Star Region? Is it close to your Hengsha World?" Saine asked.
"Hmph, no need to try to trick me. The coordinates of the Hengsha World are far beyond the Nesser Star Region."
"Although it is rumored that your Wizard Civilization is about to conquer the Nesser Star Region, that would take thousands of years, which is not something a little thing like you with a life energy level of less than level one can consider."
"Alright, enough talk, let's get to the transaction!"
"I'm curious what kind of Wizard World specialties you, a mere level one creature, can offer me?" Babakulu urged.
Babakulu's urging also stems from its interdimensional communication with Saine, which is time-limited.
At this moment, the World Boundary Stone in the Saine Laboratory had melted down to a very small piece.
If this nonsense continues, this interdimensional communication will have to end here.
Faced with Babakulu's urging, Saine first fell into deep thought.
Since his strength was obviously weaker than his opponent's, it was likely that Saine would have to offer something first to see if the powerful alien creature on the other side would be interested in it.
Saine was thinking about what he should offer.
A moment later, he took out a large pile of magical materials and resources of various elements from his Space Bracelet.
These magical materials were mostly collected by Saine from various resource points during the Academy War.
There are many types and large quantities.
The only possible obstacle is that most of these resources are for apprentices, and that otherworldly creature might not be interested in them.
To Saine's slight surprise, the otherworldly creature Babakulu was clearly stunned when it saw the numerous resources he had presented.
With its limited brain capacity, Babakulu couldn't fathom how a mere level one creature could possess so many unique and rare resources that it didn't even recognize.
Could it be that the Wizard Civilization is truly as rich and powerful as rumored?
Babakulu's interest gradually eased Saine's anxiety.
"Alright, these are the types of trading instruments I can offer. See which ones you're interested in."
"Also, could you please show me your traded items?" Saine said.
After a brief moment of contemplation in response to Saine's words, Babakulu also revealed some unique resources found only in the Hengsha World.
Cross-dimensional transactions generally follow the principles of equivalence, equality, and voluntariness.
Furthermore, the most prevalent currency in the Star Realm is Energy Crystal.
Secondly, souls and certain rare metals are also used as a medium of trade by beings from a few planes and civilizations.
The deal between Saine and the otherworldly creature Babakulu did not involve Energy Crystal.
Because Babakulu wasn't stupid; it could tell that the things Saine had taken out weren't necessarily worth many Energy Crystal.
Bartering was the central theme of this interdimensional transaction between Saine and Babakulu.
Whether either party made a profit or a loss depends on their perspective and the actual circumstances of their respective worlds.
What Saine contributed the most was a batch of dark, water, Death Element, and lightning materials.
Babakulu seemed quite interested in these rather unusual and rare things.
What Saine received from the other party was a large quantity of Earth Element, fire-type, and special alloys unique to the Hengsha World.
For example, one of the items on the transaction list is a special mineral called Fire Melting Stone, which, according to Babakulu, was salvaged from the Magma River beneath the Lava Mountain Range.
For Babakulu, it was just an ordinary stone that it had dredged up from the Magma River.
However, after examining and judging, Saine determined that this Fire Melting Stone had extremely strong Fire Element magic conductivity.
Saine had always wanted to forge a Magic Staff for himself, and this Fire Melting Stone seemed to be an excellent main material for Magic Staff.
"Hmm, the communication channels are about to collapse. I'm very satisfied with this deal," Babakulu said after completing the last batch of goods with Saine.
Not only was Babakulu very satisfied, but Saine was also very pleased with this interdimensional transaction.
From an alchemist's perspective, Saine felt that he had definitely profited from this interdimensional transaction.
The value of those unique Alien Plane metal ores alone, when sold at the Holy Tower Academy, far exceeded what Saine had invested.
Of course, this takes into account that the Hengsha World does not produce the resources that Saine traded to Babakulu.
For Babakulu, this deal was also a winner.
This was a win-win deal; just before the interdimensional communication ended, Babakulu even gave Saine an extra piece.
A cube-shaped Lava Crystal Stone weighing one kilogram.
"This is Lava Crystal Stone, which is more precious than ordinary Fire Melting Stone. I'm giving it to you."
"If it weren't for the Wizard World's immense reputation, I wouldn't even mind doing business with you again in the future."
"Alright, let's end this deal here. I doubt we'll ever see each other again," Babakulu said.
Overall, this is a reliable and kind-hearted creature from another world.
As for the other party's title of "demigod," Saine also learned during the communication that this was a self-designation used by Level-3 Peak beings in the Star Realm to describe their strength, indicating that these Level-3 Peak beings were expected to reach the level four god realm.
Looking at the Lava Crystal Stone that appeared in front of him, Saine was stunned. He had just obtained the material for the head of his Magic Staff.
Before Saine could say anything more.
With a "crack!", the World Boundary Stone, which was already the size of a grain of rice, shattered completely.
The cross-dimensional trading channel, which had lasted for nearly an hour, also vanished.
The aura of the Demigod-level Creature Babakulu also disappeared.
"This seems to be a decent otherworldly creature," Saine thought, stroking his chin.
"Next time you communicate across dimensions, don't reveal your name carelessly!" On the 782nd floor of the Holy Tower, the Level-4 Magician Luluman said to her newly accepted eldest disciple.
"As for that otherworldly creature you were communicating with across dimensions? It's clearly a complete idiot!"
"It's fortunate that it's an idiot. If you had run into some deceitful otherworldly creatures, you would probably be in trouble."
"But I didn't expect you to have so many Level-2 Energy Crystal," Luluman said, shaking her head.
Faced with his mentor Luluman's reprimand, Saine lowered his head and listened respectfully.
He did not refute his mentor in the slightest.
Luluman has crossed more bridges than he has walked roads.
The lesson learned at this moment made Luluman even more concerned about and attentive to Saine's performance.
Some otherworldly creatures with bizarre abilities can use a creature's true name to perform certain mysterious techniques.
This is why Luluman warned Saine not to reveal his name casually.
"Alright, take some time to rest and recuperate, and try to get promoted as soon as possible."
"One year from now, I will take you to your grandmaster's place."
"It just so happens that your grandmaster recently summoned me, so I'll take you to meet your sect," Luluman said.
"Yes," Saine replied respectfully.
