Chapter202-The Price of Offending That Distinguished Guest!
As for how to browse and select the items you need, it's even simpler.
In the virtual space, you can make purchases and transactions with your mind power, almost like online shopping...
Meanwhile, the Godlink Consortium also provides after-sales services.
Such as repairs, returns, and so on...
At this moment, Daniel was already eager to experience the God Realm's equivalent of an online shopping platform. So, he hurriedly asked,
"How can I access the Godlink Consortium?"
"This is simple. All you need is to purchase the appropriate array disk. In Ascension City, there's a place where you can buy the Godlink Consortium array disk. Each one costs 3,000 divine stones."
The pub keeper smiled as he spoke.
He knew that divine stones were nothing for Daniel.
From the storage crystal Daniel had shown him earlier, the amount of divine stones it contained was at least in the tens of thousands.
"Thank you for the information."
"You're most welcome, serving distinguished guests like yourself is my duty," the pub keeper said respectfully.
This made Daniel feel a bit embarrassed, so he waved his hand generously.
"Alright, I'll take some of your spirit fruits. Get me one of each variety, for 10,000 divine stones."
"You're too kind, esteemed guest!"
The pub keeper's smile never left his face.
"Please wait, I'll have them prepared right away."
His smile was so wide, it was almost a permanent fixture.
It was like a windfall from the heavens that he'd encountered today!
Daniel walked outside, intending to take a look around.
It wasn't long before he noticed a commotion on the upper floor, where people seemed to be arguing.
Or rather, one side was being mocked.
One of the voices belonged to Crane.
"Isn't this Crane? When did you start having divine stones to come to a place like this?"
"Void Realm, how many years has it been since anyone entered God Realm? You're a guide, can you really afford to be here?"
"Exactly. Do you even have the means to buy anything here, with your status?"
"Hahaha..."
The others mocked Crane, laughing loudly.
Daniel recognized the faces of the ones mocking him.
They were the same group of troublemakers he had encountered before, back in Void Town when he was leaving a shop.
They were from Gold Sea World, it seemed. They probably had some sort of beef with Void Realm.
"What do you care where I go?" Crane coldly shot back.
He had never liked the Gold Sea World people, and now, his dislike had only grown stronger.
"Getting worked up? Actually, coming here to see for yourself isn't so bad. It can expand your horizons. Don't just stay cooped up in Void Town, open your eyes and see the world!"
"You poor thing, if you want to buy anything here, why don't you leave Void Town and join us in Gold Sea Town? That way, you could be just like us!"
Daniel couldn't take it anymore. The stupidity of their insults was unbearable.
He called Crane over, not wanting to witness such nonsense any longer.
These people were practically insulting their own intelligence.
"Those people, are they from Gold Sea Town?"
"Yes, Lord Daniel. We've refused to cooperate with them, so they've been harassing us for quite some time."
"Cooperate? What do you mean?"
Daniel asked in confusion.
"Well, we in Void Town have always been in the business of selling spirit plant medicine. There's a large area in the northern part of the town that sustains the entire town's economy."
"And because of our unique cultivation methods, the quality of our medicinal plants is much higher. Those people have always coveted what we have in Void Town."
"Unique cultivation methods?"
Daniel asked.
"Yes, but as to the specifics, I don't know. I think only the town leader knows about that."
Crane speculated.
"Esteemed guest, here is the list of spirit fruits you requested."
At that moment, the pub keeper, still wearing a beaming smile, returned.
"Mm. If you need anything in the future, have him contact you."
"Of course, rest assured, esteemed guest."
With that, Daniel and Crane left.
Daniel still needed to visit the location in Ascension City where the Godlink Consortium was based.
After Daniel left, one of the attendants quickly approached the pub keeper and whispered something. Enjoy new tales from empire
The pub keeper's eyes narrowed as he looked at the Gold Sea World group, and after a few low words, he left.
The Gold Sea World group, after selecting a few cheap elixirs, was about to pay when...
"Are you from Gold Sea Town?"
"Yes, what about it?"
"The pub keeper specifically instructed that anyone from Gold Sea Town purchasing here must follow a special rule."
"A special rule? What's that?"
"All items you buy will be ten times their original price!"
"And not just here, but at all God King industries in Ascension City!"
"So, please pay 180 divine stones, or leave immediately."
The group from Gold Sea Town was dumbfounded.
They couldn't understand why this was happening.
Hadn't everything been fine just the day before when they came? Why had the prices suddenly skyrocketed by tenfold today?
It was clear someone was targeting them!
The Godlink Consortium's shop in Ascension City looked quite inconspicuous.
No one could have imagined that such an unremarkable place was actually a business spanning much of the God Realm.
Daniel and Elise walked in.
"Hello, customer. How may I assist you?"
"I need a Godlink Consortium array disk."
"Please wait."
Not long after, a woman returned with an array disk that looked somewhat old-fashioned and handed it to Daniel.
"How do I use this?"
"Simply channel your mind power into the array disk and bind it with your identity, and you'll be able to use it. Please note, each array disk can only be bound to one person's identity. If it gets damaged, you can bring it here for repairs."
Upon hearing this, Daniel understood.
"Give me two, please."
He handed one array disk to Elise.
In the future, when Elise was cooking, she would also need a way to shop online for ingredients.
As for Crane…
Daniel told him to return to deal with the housing matters for now.
At the moment, Daniel didn't require his assistance.
Crane naturally had no objections.
After all, he had already received so many divine stones without lifting a finger today.
It was hard not to feel a little uneasy about it.
These divine stones felt uneasy in his hands...
Sigh…
If only Lord Daniel would ask for a bit more.
Daniel, on the other hand, proceeded to purchase a large estate in Ascension City and moved in that very day.
He handed Elise the other array disk.
"You can use this to buy some ingredients here. And of course, if you come across anything useful for Big White or for your own improvement, feel free to purchase it."
"Take this amount of divine stones for now. If you need more, just ask me."
After quickly giving his instructions, Daniel eagerly retreated to his room, eager to try out the God Realm's online shopping platform.
Elise took the array disk and storage crystal.
She couldn't quite understand why Daniel, the headmaster, was so interested in something as simple as an online shopping tool.
After all, it was just a place to buy things!
With a sigh, she gave up trying to understand.
The estate had only been minimally furnished, so Elise made a few adjustments to make it more comfortable.
Then, she picked up the storage crystal.
Ever since joining Daniel, Elise had rarely lacked anything.
Thus, she hadn't dealt much with mana stones, mana crystals, or the like.
Now that Daniel had handed her so many divine stones, she felt a little unsure of what to do with them.
Curiously, she channeled her mind power into the storage crystal, eager to find out...
Just how many divine stones did Daniel mean by "a bit"?
As Elise probed, she couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
Indeed, this was very much in line with the headmaster's... just a tiny bit!
