Chapter 699 - 336: Striking It Rich (Part 2)
"I think so... It’s all Clay Ore, and it’s natural..." Su Jiameng raised her hand to brush away the dirt, the clay ore’s unique pale green glow quietly flickered in the darkness, like the most gentle treasure in the world, "Extremely precious!"
Under the expectant eyes of her companions, Su Jiameng placed them into the Plane Store for price evaluation. Unexpectedly, those mysterious soils turned out to be even more precious than Clay Ore! Several people stared at the numbers displayed on the screen, unable to speak for a long time.
"I somewhat understand now... the feeling of those who win billions overnight..." Lu Anchen murmured under his breath, but his eyes grew even hotter, his heart about to leap out of his throat! It’s such a great joy!
The only ones who could remain calm were Su Jiameng and Cui Hu. The former had maintained a solemn face ever since the price evaluation, while the latter felt a vague sense of worry, subdued by the former’s unpleasant expression, quenching the emerging excitement and heat.
"Jiameng, you don’t seem very happy?" Liang Xiaonuo, as a girl, had keen observation.
Su Jiameng slightly closed her eyes, concealing her exposed emotions, "I just thought of something... The Plane Store claims to be a fair and just platform with transactions that don’t deceive anyone. In other words, the higher the valuation, the higher the item’s value. Natural Clay Ore, and such a large volume at that, is actually not as valuable as two ounces of soil..."
"Are you saying this soil is more useful or valuable than Clay Ore?" Liang Xiaonuo’s eyes widened in surprise, waiting for an answer, "I’ve seen the price of Clay Ore before, it’s already expensive, but this soil... It’s too incredible."
Su Jiameng surveyed the size of the valley before making a decision, "I will sell some Clay Ore first to get some useful things, like the Qiankun Bag for storing items... Though the Clay Ore and soil here are plentiful, they are ultimately limited in quantity. I have a vague feeling that if we sell them all to the Plane Store, we’ll encounter trouble..."
She didn’t clearly spell out what the danger was, but neither Liang Xiaonuo nor the others would press for details. As long as they resolved the economic crisis and had enough Plane Points, it was enough. No matter how many Plane Points they accumulated, they couldn’t compare to the peace of mind of holding Clay Ore and soil.
Disregarding those soils, the natural Clay Ore was indeed expensive, and just one piece the size of a baby’s fist was enough to purchase five Qiankun Bags with Plane Points, just right for everyone to have one, with a major equipment upgrade!
Liang Xiaonuo pulled the drawstring of the Qiankun Bag, poking at it in amazement, "So those cultivation novels are true, such a thing as Qiankun Bags actually exists... How large is its space capacity? Does it work better than a Space Hub?"
In the interstellar era, the traces of ancient Earth’s civilization had vanished without a trace, and the term "cultivation" didn’t exist. Yet Princess Fusu was extraordinary, with countless novels bombarded, triggering a small cultivation trend on the interstellar literature network.
Qiankun Bags, spells, cultivation techniques, talismans, magic artifacts, immortal artifacts, Immortal Realm... Princess Fusu led a generation of novel trends, making these words go from unknown to well-known, even creating imaginative and bold "cultivation stream" novels!
"Each has its own advantages... The Qiankun Bag’s space is limited, but it can hold anything, whereas the Space Hub is a highly targeted technological product..." Su Jiameng wasn’t researching these matters deeply, so she naturally couldn’t respond clearly, only equivocating.
Cui Hu, pinching his chin, asked, "Since there’s a Qiankun Bag, won’t there be those magical elixirs as well?"
"Naturally there are many strange planes in the world, like the ones you mentioned, which are things from the Cultivation Plane. Whereas the plane we are in is the interstellar plane. Apart from the Plane Merchant, no one can cross two parallel planes."
"Can we cultivate?" Liang Xiaonuo’s eyes brightened; thinking of the extraordinary techniques in novels was truly thrilling!
"No, the planes are fundamentally different... Moreover, this place lacks the spiritual energy needed for cultivation, so we can’t train."
Su Jiameng poured cold water directly on the other party, attacking, "Even the elixirs, the types we can use are extremely limited, other things... like magic artifacts or talismans, when they reach our hands, they are basically disposable items, with the spiritual energy stored in the artifact exhausted, they become waste and cannot be used a second time... So, it’s better to think less about these fanciful things..."
"What a pity... I wanted to try the taste of sword flight..." Liang Xiaonuo was disappointed.
Su Jiameng suggested, "If you want to try, you can stand on a Mecha’s head, the experience should be similar..."
Liang Xiaonuo was speechless, standing on a Mecha’s head attempting sword flight... Doing such a thing is silly! The picture is so beautiful, she doesn’t even dare to imagine it, it’s completely ruining her aesthetic!
Using some remaining Plane Points, they got some tools for extracting ore, "Let’s start working, everyone, let’s get as much as we can, preferably empty the entire valley! Once we finish this task, we’re ready to set off for more profound places!"
_(:з)∠)_ She felt she really had become a landlady...
In a distant other plane, Huaixi finished a day’s training, exhausted, and crawled out of the nutrient recovery cabin, not forgetting to pop one of Su Mo’s specially made candies in his mouth. These candies contained a certain amount of elixir powder, very beneficial for the body. The brothers were young, eating candy was normal and would not arouse suspicion.
"Gu Huaixi!" Huaixi, about to leave with a towel, heard a head pop out from outside the training room, "Someone is looking for you."
"Looking for me? For what?" Huaixi was puzzled, and when he saw that person, he was even more certain he didn’t recognize him. (To be continued.
