Cave Refuge

Under normal circumstances, a merchant like Ye Liuyun would rather not make a profit than reveal his suppliers' contact information to others, since Ye Liuyun relies on the various channels within the Merchant Alliance for every comeback he makes.

This time, the main reason for giving the contact information to Dong Tianyu was the overly dangerous wild business routes, and because the Magic Capital Base is currently under reconstruction, preventing him from leaving to procure goods elsewhere.

If it weren't for their good relationship, Ye Liuyun would rather give up the deal than disclose his supplier's contact information to Dong Tianyu.

After receiving the supplier's contact information from Ye Liuyun, Dong Tianyu did not immediately make the call, but waited for Ye Liuyun to contact the supplier first to make an introduction, which could increase their mutual trust a bit.

Of course, if encountering untrustworthy people, having the introducer contact first could lead to situations of under-the-table dealings from both ends.

However, Dong Tianyu has known Ye Liuyun for so long and understands his character well, knowing he is not the type to be unprincipled for personal gain, which is why their friendship has lasted so long.

Before long, Dong Tianyu received a message from Ye Liuyun informing him that the advance contact had been made and that Dong Tianyu could now directly reach out.

A week later, Dong Tianyu returned to the Magic Capital Base, utterly exhausted.

It was then that Dong Tianyu understood why, knowing that he was planning to purchase a large amount of Explosives, Ye Liuyun gave him the contact information to directly deal with the supplier.

Firstly, the prices were indeed cheaper, though even though both parties were in China, the credit systems of different bases were incompatible, which meant transactions could not be conducted directly using electronic Currency.

But when Dong Tianyu took out fruits containing Energy from the Cave, not only did the other party not reject them, but they also showed a very obvious strong desire to buy in bulk.

It was for this reason that after Dong Tianyu verified the quality of the Explosives provided, and since both parties were eager to strike a deal, the negotiations on price also went smoothly and quickly, settling the exchange ratio between fruits and Explosives almost in no time.

The entire transaction process did not take long in terms of actual negotiation time; rather, most of the time was actually spent on travelling.

Honestly, Dong Tianyu had thought that with his Sword Flight efficiency, he wouldn't spend much time on the road before the trade started.

But only when Dong Tianyu contacted the supplier and received the address to head to the supplier's base did he realize he had oversimplified the matter.

Initially, when leaving the Magic Capital, Dong Tianyu thought to travel by Sword Flight all the way, anticipating no troubles at all.

However, once he actually started controlling his flight, he discovered that even in the air, various incidents could still occur.

The most common were attacks from flying monsters. Although frequent, such encounters were quite easy to handle.

A somewhat troublesome situation was that while flying in the unobstructed area of the sky, Dong Tianyu unexpectedly encountered the Ghost Wall phenomenon of moving in circles.

According to pre-Natural Disaster explanations of the Ghost Wall, such a phenomenon mainly occurs due to environmental factors leading to disorientation.

But at this moment, Dong Tianyu was using Sword Flight in the open air with no complex obstructions around, which logically should not lead to any loss of direction.

Moreover, Dong Tianyu, being at the Golden core stage, wouldn't likely lose his way due to physical unwellness.

Plus, Dong Tianyu had numerous Compasses stored in his Storage space, making it nearly impossible to get lost under normal circumstances.

Yet, even with so many layers of BUFF added, Dong Tianyu still fell victim and was trapped by a low-level trick like the Ghost Wall.

Of course, the reason for Dong Tianyu's disorientation was not necessarily due to the Ghost Wall, but could also have been that he fell into other types like an Illusion Array.

However, although Dong Tianyu was trapped, whether by the Ghost Wall or an Illusion Array, which could potentially severely restrict the weak, for a powerhouse like Dong Tianyu, breaking out was quite simple.

Using his powerful Divine Sense, Dong Tianyu performed a full-scale, dead-angled Spiritual Impact on the surroundings. Accompanied by the direct assault of the Divine Sense, Dong Tianyu vaguely heard several sounds of something shattering, after which he continued his journey using navigation.

This round-trip transaction took a week, during which the majority of the time was indeed spent travelling, with the actual trading merely taking up an afternoon; both parties reached an agreement and conducted the transaction upon their first meeting.

Perhaps because so much time was spent on the journey, when Dong Tianyu checked the existing stock of the other party, he decided to save trouble by clearing out their entire inventory with one purchase.

Seeing Dong Tianyu's straightforward manner, the other party also granted him the purchasing rights for Cloud Bombs.

For Dong Tianyu, with such powerful ammunition available, as long as it is for sale, he will surely buy it, given his experiences in many battles and a bit of self-awareness.

With his current capabilities, he could at most lead a twelve-person squad on missions, bringing so few people because Dong Tianyu could ensure that regardless of how brutal the mission, there was a high likelihood that these twelve people would survive and return.
