A Profitable Deal X Thief

"Haa~"

Kevin was already yawning.

Sitting by the Golden Grassland, I idly watched the Long-haired Creature by the White Pool.

The Lord Gelan was still drawing energy from the erupting Unmanned Stone with its long golden fur.

The lightning that erupted has created a lightning field covering a vast area.

The Long-haired Creature, Gelan, formed a circle around the edge of the Lightning Grass, absorbing the lightning.

A day has already passed.

These Long-haired Creature seemed to have no concept of time; when testing the power of an Unmanned Stone, they actually burst forth and absorbed it.

Kevin could only sit and wait.

He had previously wanted to see how much electricity a single Unmanned Stone could generate, but it seemed that he wouldn't be able to tell in the short term.

The amount of electricity generated by the Unmanned Stone at the very beginning was hundreds of times its normal stable output.

A day has now passed.

This at least demonstrates that an Unmanned Stone formation can reliably provide power for more than one or two years.

That's all.

Two more days passed.

Kevin just frowned; he was getting a little impatient.

Although he wanted to know the electricity level of the Unmanned Stone, he was no longer interested.

Because even now, that Unmanned Stone is still emitting electricity wildly, showing no sign of stopping.

Based on the electricity Emission in the past few days, a single Unmanned Stone can definitely provide stable power for more than ten years.

"Okay, how do I proceed with the transaction?"

Kevin asked loudly, his voice and consciousness conveying the message.

The golden, Long-haired Creature finally moved, its body floating over, the long golden hair behind it still gripping the Unmanned Stone and discharging electricity.

"You ask me what I need? And how we can exchange?"

Clearly, the Long-haired Creature Gelan has no concept of trading.

He could only sense the idea of exchange emanating from Kevin's consciousness.

Sensing this meaning, Kevin pointed directly at the milky white lake.

He naturally wanted Thick White Milk.

Two long hairs dipped into the lake water, and then were pulled out.

What they took out was actually a square Milk Brick.

They just dragged it over and placed it in front of Kevin.

Kevin simply reached out and took it.

The Milk Brick slammed heavily into his hand, its weight exceeding Kevin's expectations.

"This... it can actually be concentrated?"

Kevin looked at the Milk Brick in his hand with some surprise.

This Milk Brick was only the size of his head, and it was extremely heavy, much heavier than its actual size.

And the sensation conveyed in my hand is that of Thick White Milk, that's right.

I stretched out my finger and gently scraped a tiny bit, then put that little bit into my mouth.

"Cough cough cough----vomit!"

The sensation of scraping something and putting it in his mouth made Kevin cough and even gag.

He suddenly became radiant, and his skin had a shiny sheen.

There is an overabundance of nutrients.

"How was this condensed?"

This is Kevin's current thought.

The Milk Brick in your hand contains at least dozens of times more concentrated nutrients.

Solids of the same volume are far stronger than liquids.

This is equivalent to compressing a large amount of Thick White Milk and solidifying it into this solid Milk Brick.

And it was just taken from the bottom of the lake.

In other words, only the surface of Milky White Lake is water; the bottom is likely filled with countless Milk Brick.

The nutrients in this lake may far exceed Kevin's imagination.

Now Kevin fully understands why the Sky Overlord appointed the Long-haired Creature Gelan as his Lord.

This is such a great deal!

At this moment, the Long-haired Creature's consciousness was expressed.

"It's okay, don't worry about it too much."

After sensing its consciousness, Kevin felt somewhat helpless and even a little guilty.

These Long-haired Creature possess remarkable intelligence, yet, due to the lack of civilization, they are remarkably simple.

There is no concept of lying or deception.

The implication was that he anticipated being able to exchange a certain number of "Unmanned Stone" for this many "Milk Brick," but it was possible to exchange for even more, though he couldn't determine that at the moment.

Moreover, his method of judgment was based on the energy emitted by the Unmanned Stone, and how much Thick White Milk could be condensed through their transformation.

This also includes their labor cost for the conversion.

There was no profit to be made at all; it was a pure cost-price transaction.

The advantage lies in the fact that the Unmanned Stone can stably supply lightning energy, without them having to wait for Thunderstorm Day to form, and they can obtain enough lightning energy.

They're so simple and honest.

It was also stated that if the Unmanned Stone has more power next time Kevin visits, it will compensate him.

Without further ado, Kevin took out even more Unmanned Stone and handed them to the other party.

Numerous golden tentacles immediately flew over and took each of the Unmanned Stone.

Since Kevin selected only those of the same size, it gave Lord Gelan a basic basis for judgment.

They then ventured into the lake and began cutting the Milk Brick.

One after another, Milk Brick were taken out and piled up in front of Kevin.

Kevin brought a total of twelve Unmanned Stone this time, and twelve Milk Brick were piled up in front of him.

Each piece was as big as his head, and when piled up in front of him, they were taller than him.

And it's a concentrated version.

If it were liquid, two Milk Brick could roughly be exchanged for one ton of Thick White Milk.

That means there are a full six tons here.

Seriously, these twelve Milk Brick are enough for their Exploration Team to use until they die.

Looking at the Milk Brick in front of him, Kevin suddenly asked a question.

How much of this stock do you have in total?

They're so simple and unpretentious, it would be hard not to ask.

"Tens of thousands of yuan? I'm not sure?"

Kevin shut up.

Are there that many? In that pool of water.

It seems the pool is deeper than I imagined, and the bottom is likely filled with these coagulated Milk Brick, with only a thin layer of liquid on top.

No wonder the grassland, which had been completely cleared, has grown back in such a short time.

No wonder during the previous Gale Trial, the nutrients blown out by the wind alone were enough to push the creatures outside to their limits amidst the agony of their flesh being torn apart.

The concentrated nutrients in this are far beyond imagination.

The transaction was complete, and Kevin had obtained the information he wanted. He then took out another Unmanned Stone from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

"It's not an exchange, it's a gift. I hope we can maintain this relationship and continue trading in the future."

As he spoke, Kevin picked up a Milk Brick.

"For every ten exchanges of these Milk Brick, I'll give you an extra one."

The golden-haired man took the last, Unmanned Stone.

Although I don't understand it, it's impossible not to take advantage of a good deal.

It remains a simple and unpretentious philosophy.

However, she still expressed her gratitude.

Then Lord Gelan submerged back into the lake, but fourteen long hairs floated above the water, grasping all the Unmanned Stone. A burst of lightning immediately erupted, engulfing the entire surrounding area.

"Wait a minute, I haven't gone out yet!"

Kevin collected the Milk Brick and immediately ran out.

Looking away from the distance, one can see that a huge lightning field has completely formed in the center of the Golden Grassland.

The massive burst of lightning caused a stinging sensation on Kevin's skin, even though he was quite far away.

"That's outrageous! Is their lightning absorption efficiency really that exaggerated? They're not even afraid of such a lightning field."

Kevin touched his skin.

When powered by Electric Propulsion, it is extremely resistant to electricity and can even absorb electricity when shocked, using it for its own power.

In this situation, the massive electric field in front of him could sting his skin; getting too close would definitely result in injury.

Not to mention entering a lightning field to absorb energy.

This is enough to demonstrate that these Long-haired Creature have an extremely high efficiency in absorbing energy from lightning.

Looking back at the previous thunderstorm, it seems understandable now.

These lightning storms nowadays are nothing compared to the columnar lightning of the past.

"As expected, every creature that can obtain Lord authority is not to be trifled with; each one possesses unique and irresistible skills."

With power like that, what normal Lord Level creature would dare to provoke it?

Perhaps these Lord creatures are not strong outside the Golden Grassland, but within the Golden Grassland, in this area of strong lightning, they are formidable.

That's definitely home-field advantage.

While pondering this, Kevin quickened his pace on the return journey.

He now carries an enormous amount of wealth.

This trip was truly rewarding.

We traveled for two days.

Kevin found a nice place and prepared to rest for the night.

Late at night.

Kevin leaned against a sunken boulder, looking at the small campfire in front of him.

I was pondering the properties and formulations of some materials.

In moments of boredom like this, all one can do is ponder the creation of potions.

"Phew... Exploring this silent and dangerous area alone is really unbearable."

Kevin considered himself to be someone who could endure loneliness.

In the Manor or the camp, he could truly stay alone in the Pharmaceutical Room for ten days or half a month without going out.

In that situation, browsing the web, reading books, and continuing to study pharmaceuticals wouldn't feel boring at all.

But in just a few days, he explored the outside world alone, and in the wilderness of this Dark Continent, he truly felt that loneliness.

"If that Don Fuglits is a person, it's hard to imagine how he survived."

On the Dark Continent, on that unknown West Coast.

A figure dressed in animal skin clothing moved through the woods.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he stood still.

"Someone's talking about me again. It seems like more people are talking about me lately—haha, looks like there are more Exploration Team now."

What are you saying?

A hoarse, slightly shrill voice came from the side.

Although the sound is speaking human language, it is clearly not being spoken by a human.

"It's nothing, it's just that another of my kind has set foot on the Dark Continent."

"Really? I hope they survive. To be honest, I haven't seen any humans in ages."

"Long time? You've never even seen a human before." It was a muffled, grumbling voice, clearly not spoken by a human.

What nonsense are you spouting?

It was another strange tone, clearly not human.

"Isn't Dong just a human? How could he not have seen humans before?"

Yes, that's right.

"That's right."

That makes sense.

Listening to the strange conversations of the creatures around him, Dong shook his head helplessly.

"Alright, let's hurry on our way. This area isn't safe."

Clearly, Dong is not a "person".

Kevin had already closed his eyes to rest, and the fire in front of him had long since gone out.

In the Dark Continent, Kevin and everyone else developed the habit of resting with their eyes closed when in the wild.

This kind of rest is not complete sleep, but a kind of relaxation with eyes closed, a simple meditation.

It was Jin who taught them.

The effect is very good; it allows one to regain mental alertness without affecting their vigilance of the surrounding environment.

Moreover, the breath will become stable, blending into the surroundings, providing excellent concealment.

This is a very good technique for resting in the wild.

Suddenly, Kevin seemed to sense something.

Something's coming.

And it's right next door.

Kevin frowned upon realizing how close they were, but he didn't open his eyes or move his body.

The status quo remains unchanged.

We mustn't alert them.

The fact that it sneaked in so stealthily and was only discovered when it got so close indicates that this creature is highly skilled in stealth.

So what is he trying to do?

Poisoning himself? Drinking his own blood? Or stealing things from his own body?

These are mostly the methods used by these stealthy biological attacks.

In this situation, Kevin focused intently and indeed sensed the creature approaching, trying to tug at the Pocket Flower.

I see.

Do you want this?

However, the Pocket Flower itself is nothing special; the key is what's inside.

Besides basic camping gear and some food, the most important item inside is Concentrated Milk Brick of Thick White Milk.

So is it this thing that's attracting it?

Otherwise, Kevin would find it hard to believe that there was anything about him that could attract the other person.

However, even though the equipment has been placed in the spatial storage, the other party can still detect it.

That's really impressive.

Moreover, he possessed the privileges of Lord, which Kevin could still sense even if he didn't deliberately amplify them.

Under these circumstances, the other party still dared to steal.

That's quite confident of them.

This creature should not be very large; given its specialized ability to conceal itself, no creature would be excessively large.

Is it smaller than a human body?

Haha, well, you've really hit a brick wall.

Kevin wanted to capture the other person alive.

Don't rush.

The thing was still rummaging through its Pocket Flower off.

I sensed the timing was about right.

Lightning suddenly flashed across Kevin's body, and he moved with incredible speed, abruptly opening his right palm towards the direction of his opponent.

"Certainly!"

Immediately, a creature was frozen in place; Kevin could sense it, even though he couldn't see it.

But it was struggling, and was about to break free.

Sharp.

Even with this one-way forced control, the other party can quickly break free.

But Kevin won't rely on just this method.

He immediately swung his left hand over.

Two fist-sized Water Droplets were thrown out.

Although the flight speed is not fast, it is enough to make contact with the other party if they struggle to break free.

As expected.

Two fist-sized Water Droplets enveloped Clone, one in front and one behind.

Directly slows down fixation.

"Let me see what kind of person you are, trying to steal from me."
