#604 - Sensational! The greedy devil made a fortune
The next second, all these racial leaders reacted at the same time, their eyes shining!
The remains of ancient civilization have been opened?!
This keyword made them raise their body temperature reflexively, and they all took defensive actions - in the past, the appearance of a relic would inevitably mean a large-scale conflict between civilizations!
But things were a little different at this moment, because the 18 human civilizations were present. After being on alert, these leaders couldn't help but smile awkwardly, each with their own thoughts.
What level of ruins is the building built on the back of the giant crystal turtle?
…
At this moment, the giant crystal turtle also held its head high, looking majestic and extraordinary in appearance.
It suddenly sprayed a stream of frost from its mouth, and suddenly, a ladder made of ice connected the ground and its turtle back.
"Waqua!" The giant crystal turtle roared violently.
"This is... they want us to land in this temple?!"
Many races hesitated. Although the ruins were great, how could wealth be so easy to obtain?
As the saying goes, "If a man does not deserve wealth, he will lose something." Even if you get amazing wealth, you have to have the life to spend it!
Finally, everyone looked at the human diplomat.
Although humans only have a few ambassadors and a few soldiers, their reputation is still there.
"Let's go in and take a look!" Ambassador Lu Yi also knew that he must not lose the order that humans had worked so hard to build, so he gritted his teeth and gave a suggestion, "Don't worry, friends. If there is wealth, everyone who sees it will get a share."
A group of people approached the giant crystal turtle cautiously and walked up the slippery ice stairs.
The palace was not actually very big, only about 200 square meters from the outside, and its outer wall was made of an ice-attributed material called "pyroxene". This material was quite common and was considered a general-level extraordinary ore.
But inexplicably, it brought an indescribable sense of grandeur to people. When walking up the stairs, these leaders had a strange sense of heroism in their hearts - the world is so big, where can't we go? !
This seems to be an echo of history and also reflects the sentiments of the palace owner.
The front of the hall, with its carved beams and painted buildings, is full of brilliance, and has high eaves that follow the terrain. The jade steps and red courtyard shine brightly in the sun, which is truly a top-notch piece of art.
[Temple of Greed] These four strange words sparkled in the sun.
“Absolutely a masterpiece!”
", this gate... seems to be of legendary level... it really is legendary level."
Everyone's hearts became more and more excited, and their eyes were shining.
Finally, Lu Yi's heart was pounding and he was the first to step into the gate.
At this moment, he staggered violently and even missed a step!
He felt all kinds of messy idealistic rules, which were a bit like the field, but extremely chaotic.
It was as if a hundred, a thousand fields were superimposed on each other, making it impossible to tell what exactly was what.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a strange space shrouded in white fog, and around the strange space, there were several white light balls blooming.
"What just happened?"
"Is this the interior of the palace? It's so huge!" All the visitors had the same feeling.
The interior of this palace is tens of thousands of square meters, almost the size of three football fields!
The exterior is only 200 square meters.
This incredible scene made even the well-informed Lu Yi's hair stand on end: "Could it be... could it be the remains of a level 5 civilization?! Judging from the rules of space, it is most likely a level 5 civilization!"
Now he was a little hesitant. The value of the level 5 ruins was too terrifying. Even if it meant losing a little reputation, should he snatch it away by force?
I plucked up my courage and gently approached those balls of light, and vague thoughts came from them.
[Temple of Greed, the rules are as follows:]
Lu Yi’s eyes suddenly widened, and his heart started beating wildly!
What the hell, what the hell, what...what is this?
His mind recollected the knowledge gained from past archaeological discoveries—some civilizations had become completely extinct, leaving their legacy for anyone to pick up.
But some of the ruins actually still have living people, so they can be considered to have owners.
"It seems that this civilization is not completely extinct...are there still aliens?" Lu Yi came to this conclusion in his mind.
But...can I sell the divine skills? How much?
Then, his expression changed slightly... So expensive!
A "craftsman talent" of 10 points of luck!
It’s really expensive!
If calculated at 1:50, one "Craftsman Talent" is equivalent to 500 spiritual charms, which is indeed expensive.
However, this kind of divine skill is priceless, who would sell it?
Think about it carefully, is it really expensive?
A rookie craftsman can't earn 500 spiritual charms in his lifetime, but what about a master craftsman? He can earn it back with just one legendary item!
How much can be created with a life span of two or three thousand years? Ten thousand spiritual charms is not too much, right?
What if this craftsman's talent becomes a grandmaster and creates a myth...
No, no, no, I can't think like this anymore.
Lu Yi took a deep breath, excitement showing on his face.
Other races also came into contact with this ball of light and exclaimed in surprise.
They were also wondering why these relics were so strange?
There is also the question of whether it is cost-effective...
Today, with the booming industrialization of the field and the strong support for craftsmen in the green market... the talent of craftsmen is indeed a top talent.
"Is it true that 'artisan talent' is in unlimited supply?"
"If we had a hundred talented craftsmen, the dwarven civilization would be overwhelmed by us!"
They were so eager to spend it that their faces turned red. They even wanted to take out all the savings they had saved!
Anyway, if you transport this thing, you can still make money even if you spend it!
“But it’s still too expensive.”
“Hey, you don’t understand. As long as we develop at a high speed, we can accumulate one point a year, and it will take 10 years to become a skilled craftsman. It’s a good deal!” The elder of the Tiger Roar clan, his eyes slightly red, slapped his thigh violently.
Their race's racial values tend to be biased towards fighting and they are not good at production.
So for such a large race, there are only two craftsmen, which is extremely shabby.
These two young talents are still studying at the Artisan University!
On the other side, the mortal enemy, the Scorpion Lion Civilization, was also beaming with joy and shaving their horns. Their racial talents were also similar, and the lack of craftsmen made it very expensive for them to develop idealistic technology. From a long-term perspective, buying a few craftsmen would be profitable.
…
"Although the divine skills are great, please be careful of scams. If this giant crystal turtle cheats you of your points and runs away, we won't be able to catch him."
"Ambassador Lu is right... let's wait and see."
Lu Yi took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm, and came into contact with another ball of light.
A vague thought came.
He began to feel frightened again, and a storm of emotions surged deep within him.
"Legendary, epic forging materials?!"
"Sun Gold, Moonlight Mithril, Star Iron... all need to be exchanged for Civilization Points... so expensive!"
"Is this the rich legacy of ancient civilization..."
Legendary and epic materials are extremely scarce in Pangu Continent and are strategic resources.
Especially the epic level, which requires "great luck" to encounter.
Throughout the North, there may be civilizations that hide "epic materials" as their most valuable treasures, and they will not trade them easily.
But I saw so much here!
"With epic materials, if I work harder, I might be able to create an immortal item."
"But I can't bear to trade with civilization points... it's too expensive."
"Look again, look again..." Lu Yi was sweating profusely and came into contact with another ball of light.
This time it wasn't that scary.
They are all common minerals with various properties...from inferior grade to excellent grade, there are many categories.
The quantity is not marked, it seems that the supply is unlimited?
"But trading in common minerals also requires civilization points? Isn't that too much?"
“The unit price is a bit high.”
"Wait, there is also a purchase option here, but the purchased ore is priced in spirit? Only items above the legendary level are priced in 'luck'..."
Lu Yi has a deep understanding of the word "greed" in [Temple of Greed].
When you sell it, you earn civilization points, and when you buy it, you spend spiritual energy of a lower level.
And they just put a high price on the table, it’s up to you to buy it or not!
"If this relic really has an owner, why did it suddenly appear at this time... Was it all dormant before?"
"But how powerful must a civilization be to be able to sell divine skills? Maybe it's a very brutal type that massacred many civilizations."
"Should we communicate with the owner of the palace? Bargaining could save some costs."
Lu Yi’s mind raced.
A diplomatic ambassador has the power to use some spiritual energy, but the use of civilization points must be reviewed by the upper parliament.
Several human diplomats looked at each other and exchanged a few words telepathically.
The emergence of [Temple of Greed] may have an impact on many things.
"Wait, there are materials with earth attributes here?! They can solve our urgent needs..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Our central formation is in urgent need of earth-attribute materials. Can we buy some? Even if the unit price of low-level ores is a bit higher, the total expenditure is still affordable."
So Lu Yi tried to ask: "I am the diplomatic ambassador of the 18th civilization of mankind, Lu Yi."
"May I ask the owner of the Temple of Greed to discuss trade with my civilization? We have a huge deal to make?"
Unfortunately, despite the expectant gazes of all civilizations, there was no response after waiting for such a long time.
Everyone was disappointed: "It seems that the owner of the palace is unwilling to show up."
“It’s normal not to show up.”
"Foreign Minister Lu, there is another ball of light over here!"
A soldier whispered into the headset.
Lu Yi hurried over to take a look.
They actually sell something called "Temple"!
The function is...long-distance transmission? !
Regardless of any spatial distance, you can teleport between the two temples at will, making the two worlds seem like neighbors!
"The price is to spend a little spiritual charm..."
Lu Yi immediately realized the strategic significance of the [Temple]. If they had this thing, they would not need to give up the Northern Territory in the future. They could just send some people on duty to maintain order in the trading market.
What's more, if a major crisis really occurs, the [Temple] also has an emergency escape function, which can teleport all the people of the Sky City to the North!
“I wonder how much this thing costs?”
When he wanted to check the price, he found a line of words popped up in the light ball: [Sold Out]. (Actually, Lu Yuan hadn't finished it yet.)
"What? Sold... sold out?"
"Is there a similar [Temple of Greed] somewhere else in Pangu Continent?"
…
[Temple of Greed] caused a small sensation. People never expected that the temple on the back of the giant crystal turtle would become a trading place.
But the first transaction has been delayed.
"Can we trade by throwing 'luck' into the ball of light?"
The elder of the Tiger Roar Clan wanted to buy a "craftsman talent".
But I can't bear to give up those 10 points of luck.
If this relic is a scam, he can't afford to lose 10 points of luck!
The same goes for other races, all of them are watching.
All things are difficult at the beginning. Even if the thing is good, no one dares to believe it.
"Elder Hu, we don't carry any civilization points, only some spiritual energy." Lu Yi, the diplomat on the human side, came up with an idea.
"If you have extra civilization points, you can exchange some for us. Let's try the trade first. Even if we get cheated, it's our loss. We can exchange them at the normal ratio."
Elder Hu Xiao thought for a moment and said, "That's fine."
Soon, humans exchanged 5 spiritual rhymes for 0.1 civilization points.
This number is not large and everyone can afford it.
Lu Yi selected a piece of earth-attributed ore and put 0.1 civilization points into the light ball.
A few seconds later, the shadow of a piece of ore appeared from the air, slowly turned into a solid object, and fell to the ground with a "pop".
The ore was of inferior grade, weighing a full 2.2 tons, and was almost identical in size, quality and description.
It was quiet in the temple.
All the races present looked at the ore in silence, with different emotions in their minds.
"The way this ore appeared is very magical... If it is not the power of a monster, then it must be space technology."
"Yes, the temple from outside doesn't look very big, but the area inside is several times larger. It's normal for the ruins to have space technology."
“Now to think about…is there anything else we need to buy?”
…
Just like that, the news about the Temple of Greed slowly spread.
Many races believe that this is the remains of a "level five civilization" and that there is a group of aliens behind it.
Others believe that the civilization behind it may still be alive.
Unfortunately, as time passed, no one has ever seen the civilization behind the Temple of Greed, let alone the so-called aliens.
The giant crystal turtle is also elusive. If it stays in the same place for more than a month, it will leave and go to another place.
Even some remote races have the opportunity to come into contact with this temple.
So the appearance of the giant crystal turtle gradually became a festival in the North.
Many civilizations regard it as a good omen and offer sacrifices to it.
There are also some bold and impatient civilizations who secretly spend civilization points to purchase a few divine skills to make up for the imbalance in divine skills caused by the imbalance in racial values.
There has never been any fraud in the Temple of Greed. Although the prices are a bit high, the goods are indeed authentic and reliable.
Gradually, its reputation accumulated and more and more civilizations came here to consume.
…
…
All civilizations made a profit!
The mastermind behind the scenes makes huge profits!
Lu Yuan counts small change every day and can't stop.
The old foreigners were also busy and happy.
They are still very happy to sell part of their assets and convert them into civilization points.
Even these old guys played the "sell high and buy low" game, hoarding some of the ores sold by other civilizations, waiting for subsequent appreciation.
Only the old cat had a resentful look on his face: "Comrade, can you sell the minerals to humans at a lower price? They are your compatriots."
"Of course not!" Lu Yuan refused mercilessly.
"Why? Meow!"
"If I give humans special treatment, won't I be immediately suspected? Even humans themselves will doubt the relationship between the Greedy Demon and the Temple of Greed!"
"Meow! Why should I know this?" The old cat jumped onto Lu Yuan's face and scratched him madly, "If I didn't know, I would be very happy now!"
Everyone made money.
A world where only old cats get hurt has been achieved!
