Saine did not personally go to Bewilderment Time-Space.
His time lately had been chopped into fragments by the laboratory, the Gear Time-Space Origin, the Final Silence specimen, and the Destruction Time-Space samples.
But the accounts from Bewilderment Time-Space's second trade assembly were still delivered to him on a regular basis.
The Wealth Goddess Wojin was responsible for this part of the work.
She organized the enormous transaction data beautifully.
Even a Mage like Saine, who was more used to reading experimental reports, could quickly pick out from page after page of trade ledgers what the Mechanical Civilization had truly obtained.
Resources were only the most superficial harvest.
At a deeper level, there were channels, credit, rule credentials, and more and more external civilizations willing to rely on the Mechanical Civilization's transport system and Sky Net settlement system.
This was an enormous boost for Wojin herself.
Wealth rules did not necessarily have to be piled up with gold coins and Energy Crystals.
When, in a grand Cross-Dimensional Trade gathering, more and more civilizations' transactions, contracts, debts, and resource flows were brought under the same system, the rule feedback the Wealth Goddess obtained was far richer than if she had personally charged onto the battlefield.
When Wojin broke through to Level-10 Late-Stage, several financial settlement starports in Gear Time-Space lit up with golden light patterns at the same time.
Those light patterns had no killing power.
But they allowed billions upon billions of trade contracts to complete rule calibration in the same instant.
This was the manifestation of wealth rules on a high-dimensional level.
After Saine received the report, he rarely paused the Destruction Crystal Tide slice experiment in his hands and looked it over seriously for a few moments.
"Not bad," Saine encouraged.
