Find Someone to Back Him!
[Little Merchant: Boss, I won't lie to you. The market price for high-grade Wood and Stone Advanced Resource Card is a constant 100 Origin Crystal. I'll give you 90, just to make a 10-cash commission, how about that?]
Su Ye looked at the message from Lin Xiaoxiao with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He was surprised not because of anything else, but because Lin Xiaoxiao's offer was very reasonable.
It's important to understand that so-called market prices are monopolized by the Great Merchant Guild. The Trading House system is basically dominated by these Trade Association, and all pricing is determined by the Trade Association.
Even if Su Ye tried to sell it himself, he wouldn't be able to. What level, what background, what power do you have that you dare to sell at the same price as the Trade Association?
Su Ye had initially thought the Little Merchant would only offer him eighty yuan, but now it seemed he had Little Merchant.
[Otherworld Traveler: Okay.]
Su Ye looked at his Advanced Wood Resource Card and Advanced Stone Resource Card, thought for a moment, and then directly applied for a transaction.
Lin Xiaoxiao immediately clicked on the transaction request, her mouth forming an "O" shape.
600 Resource Card, Advanced Stone Resource Card, and 300 Advanced Wood Resource Card.
She originally thought Su Ye would only get a few dozen at most, but she didn't expect him to get 600 at once. It seems that Su Ye still has more.
[Otherworld Traveler: After deducting the Origin Crystal I owe you, you only need to give me 9000 Origin Crystal.]
[Little Merchant: Okay, boss!]
The transaction was completed, Su Ye directly obtained 9,000 Origin Crystal.
Su Ye could only say that this deal was a steal, a huge profit. You have to understand that it's the Novice Period now, and many things are being sold at bargain prices, like a high-grade Wood Stone Resource Card for 90 each.
Even outside of the Novice Period, Normal Lord can't buy them. At most, the Great Merchant Guild will drive the price down to fifty or sixty yuan, and some ruthless ones will even forcibly buy them for twenty or thirty yuan.
[Little Merchant: It's been a pleasure working with you, big shot. If you have any good stuff, just let me know. I can also help you find Barracks Refresh Recruitment Card and Barracks Upgrade Card for the barracks.]
Su Ye looked at the message from the Little Merchant, smiled, and replied.
[Otherworld Traveler: It's a pleasure working with you.]
Su Ye then immediately turned off private chat with friends and finished his breakfast in a few bites.
"If there are any Technology Side weapons available for sale in the future, we could trade directly with him/her, and even continue to cooperate indefinitely," Su Ye couldn't help but think.
It's not that Su Ye doesn't want to sell it himself, but the first problem is facing the obstruction from those Great Merchant Guild. Can you outmaneuver them?
Don't say they can't find you. There are only those they don't want to find, not those they can't find. Even using the most basic method, checking each Novice Lord one by one wouldn't take them long. If they're suspected, they'll just kill them. It's that simple. Do you really think they need evidence?
The second reason is that trying to eat alone can lead to death. There's no end to the money in this world. If you want to eat alone, you need to have the ability to do so. Otherwise, you're just waiting to die.
The third reason is to find a reliable backer. Su Ye could also see that this Little Merchant was the biggest Merchant Lord the Novice Lord this year.
The power behind it is terrifying. A novice can complete the collection of connections, channels, resources, and everything else on the second day. The things and significance behind this are not simple.
Such an existence is a good thing for Su Ye, and Su Ye also gives her another reliable partner.
After all, there is more than one heir to the Great Merchant Guild of Commerce, and they are in competition with each other, as long as what Su Ye offers has sufficient benefits and value.
Therefore, the relationship between Su Ye and this Little Merchant was unbreakable.
The Little Merchant needs Su Ye to prove her ability and value, while Su Ye needs the Little Merchant to stand up for her and act as her backer, which is only natural.
Of course, there is another major reason, which is that Su Ye needs an identity that can be publicly revealed, and the identity of the Technology Side lord is quite good.
The most terrifying thing in this world is not finding you, but not being able to find you, when even a Divine Level being cannot find you.
Anyone with half a brain knows you have a problem.
Finding you isn't scary; not finding you is the scariest thing.
Before becoming a lord, Su Ye was just an orphan in the Main World, which was a given. The Novice Period always comes to an end, and at that time Su Ye would not have grown to be invincible.
At that time, Su Ye would need a respectable identity to fulfill his obligations, and at the same time, he would need to better integrate into the lord society; that was the key.
You can hide for a while, but not forever. The path to godhood is too long and too distant. Before you have absolute power, Su Ye would be better off following the rules of the game.
Back to the present, Su Ye looked at his Territory and made a decision.
The first priority is to fully develop the Technology Side factory; the second is to produce as many Technology Side weapons as possible to cover up Lilith's existence; and the third and final priority is to demonstrate one's value and establish a cooperative foundation with Little Merchant.
Ideally, the relationship should remain as it is, at least until the Novice Period ends.
"From now on, the Territory's resources will focus on the Technology Side, and everything will revolve around Technology Side development." Su Ye made the decision; Lilith and the others would have to move to the background.
Although it's only the ninth day of the Novice Period, you should already be prepared. Last-minute cramming is the easiest way to make mistakes, so start now and you can fill in the gaps later.
"Have you finished eating?" Su Ye asked Delmis softly, looking at her beside him.
Delmis nodded.
"Let's go, today's Void Trial is about to begin," Su Ye said to Delmis.
Delmis followed Su Ye out of the Wine Pool and Meat Forest.
Delmis then went directly to assemble the End Moon Purge.
Lilith and the others had already made preparations.
"System begins Void Trial, Difficulty: Abyss!!" Su Ye's voice rang out.
[Ding: The Void Trial has begun. Difficulty: Abyss. You have thirty seconds to prepare.]
The system's familiar notification sound rang out.
An endless black and red mist enveloped the borders of Su Ye's Territory.
Accompanied by terrifying roars, one after another Abyss Demon emerged from the black and red mist. Their level remained unchanged at Bronze Nine-Star, but their numbers had increased significantly compared to yesterday.
Watching this scene, Su Ye understood. The difficulty of the Abyss was not static; even if the Lord's Heart did not upgrade, it would increase over time.
However, it seems like there are far too many today; the Abyss Demon are appearing much faster.
"Something's not right." Su Ye looked at the Abyss Demon emerging from the edge of his Territory. Their numbers were increasing and their speed was accelerating. Countless Abyss Demon rushed out from the black and red mist, roaring as they invaded Su Ye's Territory.
