Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor

Ge-Luoke and Lin Rui lost interest in talking and each began to deal with the details of their trade.

Ge-Luoke was very interested in Lin Rui's trade items and immediately started buying up the Spiritual Gems Lin Rui had laid out.

The price for Tier Two Spiritual Gems was set by Lin Rui at 5,000 units of initial tier resources, which could be 5,000 Realm Coins or 5,000 stone/minerals or the like.

This guy even tossed over a hundred million units of wood, completely clearing out Lin Rui's 20,000 Tier Two Spiritual Gems!

100,000,000 units of wood! Just counting the zeroes took Lin Rui quite a while.

Though he had never seen 40 million Realm Coins, Lin Rui had truly seen a hundred million units of wood. Piled up on the plain of the sand table, it nearly formed a forest.

Correspondingly, outside the plains of Golden Pansy Town, piles and piles of wood covered an area of several miles, turning it into a timber plant.

Lin Rui was speechless, was this guy living in a tropical rainforest where wood was free?

But this guy didn't plan to stop at all. After buying up Lin Rui's Tier Two Spiritual Gems, he emptied out Lin Rui's Tier Three Spiritual Gems in one go.

Again paying in wood—1.2 billion units!

And it seemed like if Lin Rui had more Spiritual Gems, he could bring out several billion more wood units.

Lin Rui quickly formed a very vivid and direct image of this guy—a greedy and ruthless person living in dense rainforests.

He had a large number of low-tier troops under his command. And he probably had an altar or similar structure that could use gems to upgrade low-tier soldiers in bulk.

More importantly, he should possess a rather large Spatial Treasure, with a capacity of at least millions of units of resources.

Because even for a hundred million units of wood, Lin Rui would need about two hundred trips using his two Spatial Treasures.

But this guy used only a few minutes to buy out Lin Rui's gems; he not only had plenty of wood but enormous space for storage items.

After clearing out Lin Rui's Spiritual Gems, he still was not satisfied and bought out all of Lin Rui's potions.

Paying a million and a half units of wood.

When this number was announced, Lin Rui could roughly guess his mentality.

After a transaction of billions, what's a million and a half units of wood?

It's a waste of space in a Spatial Treasure; anyway, potions are harmless, so he might as well buy them first.

Truth be told, even Lin Rui was somewhat infected by this mindset.

1.5 million units of resources—this would have been a quite considerable amount. For the territory, a bountiful harvest was needed to obtain resources of this level.

Yet in the face of transactions spanning billions of units, it seemed rather insignificant!

This shows the immense opportunity presented by the Divine Throne Banquet.

But Lin Rui noticed that this Divine Throne Banquet hosted by the Lusen Chamber of Commerce also charges a fee for trades.

Roughly less than one per thousand—about 0.89 per thousand.

Given the provision of such a grand trading venue, charging a bit of tax seems wholly justifiable.

Then Lin Rui turned his attention to the items Ge-Luoke was selling.

Upon opening it, Lin Rui immediately spotted one of his target items.

[Risen Dynasty Infantry Crossbowman Camp]

Tier Two Elite-level ranged infantry recruitment camp.

If established in the Golden Pansy Domain, it begins as Tier Three Elite-level.

But unfortunately, this is a recruitment camp for soldiers of the Risen Dynasty, meaning a maintenance fee must be paid for every cycle.

In each cycle, twenty-four soldiers could be recruited, which is two squads.

For Lin Rui, this was quite useless.

For fixed recruitment, Lin Rui might as well go recruit Tier Five vampire maidens from Heilv Castle.

This Tier Five troop type is versatile, with attack and defense capabilities and healing abilities, accommodating all squad soldiers and perfectly triggering each profession's trait.

Lin Rui hoped to find a camp like the Black Banner Guard, where he could send citizens and continuously train elite troops.

Instead of hiring troops from the Risen Dynasty with his money.

Thus, Lin Rui temporarily set it aside, planning to look for better options.

The items traded at the Divine Throne Banquet are quite high-grade, and Lin Rui quickly found another item worth purchasing.

[Coca Leaf (Essence Spirit Plants): Leaves with strange excitatory effects, extremely rare and precious. Direct consumption can restore 100 points of Spiritual Energy Value. Consuming up to one hundred times increases the maximum Spiritual Energy Value by 1.]

This thing is somewhat similar to Life Fruit.

Its value far surpasses what appears on the surface. With a highly skilled artisan, even greater effects could be developed, like making drinks, potions, or foods that enhance more Spiritual Energy Value, or even Attribute Value.

Naturally, for someone wealthy like Lin Rui, even without a highly skilled artisan, he could haphazardly use it like chewing gum without worry.

So Lin Rui confidently purchased fifty thousand pieces. Collectively, this could enhance the max Spiritual Energy Value of territorial soldiers by fifty thousand points, and recover a total of five million points of Spiritual Energy.

The price was steep too—6,000 Spirit Crystal Coins.

Then Lin Rui continued to scroll down, quickly finding more valuable items for the Golden Pansy Domain.

[Gred's Roaring Blade] x120

Tier Two Human Explorer Recruitment Scrolls, each priced at 300 Spirit Crystal Coins.

Lin Rui bought them all in one go; though they were only Tier Two Excellence Level troops, Lin Rui didn't care much. For the Golden Pansy Domain, that's essentially a medium-sized Black Banner Guard unit.
