The next day.
Another new day had begun.
Chen Fan sprang out of bed like a carp flipping upright. After a quick wash, he stretched his limbs and walked to the Building Blueprint Market in the nearby Life Workshop. A red dot was flashing in the lower right corner of the screen.
Farmer Continent had contacted him.
"Uh..."
Chen Fan hesitated. Did they want to buy that blueprint back? They really couldn't now. He had already crushed it, and it wasn't a Self-Created Building Blueprint that could be copied at will.
Buying it back was out of the question.
But when he opened the chat and read their message, he fell into thought.
"Hello."
"I am the lord of Farmer Continent. My son made a deal with your continent some time ago. I believe any continent lord willing to buy a time-related building must have exceptional courage and resourcefulness."
"Before we sold this Building Blueprint, a Builder from Farmer Continent spent his entire life studying it. In the end, he closed his eyes with his wish unfulfilled."
"If your continent has deciphered this Building Blueprint, I hope you can tell me its exact effects. Then Master Zhou's spirit may rest in peace, and he can depart without regret."
"For this,"
"Farmer Continent is willing to pay two trillion Eerie Stones as thanks."
Chen Fan's expression turned a little odd.
At first, those opening lines had made him think they wanted a refund on the grounds that the buyer was a minor. That wouldn't do. By the Yellow Springs Wraiths' reckoning, he was a minor too.
But after reading the whole message,
he realized
they hadn't mentioned the previous deal at all. They were proposing a new one.
A full two trillion Eerie Stones!
The Mortal Domain's entire Eerie Stone Reserves
