Chapter 1020 - 112: Chongshan Fang: Has My Dream Come True?
The following morning.
After discussing throughout the night, the two True Immortals once again approached Jiucai Rong.
This time, they came to initiate an official franchise collaboration, as two external franchisees, introducing the Golden Core into their Immortal Domain.
On the Golden Core Business Alliance’s side, there were two people responsible for the negotiation.
The Painter Jiucai Rong.
Native blacksmith, head chef of the cafeteria, Chongshan Fang.
Upon hearing the proposal, the Painter Jiucai Rong feigned a look of shock, "My lord, you are willing to help us forge a Magical Treasure, and expand the [Online Game Golden Core] illusion realm’s coverage?"
"Initially, we aimed for a niche range, after all, our Golden Core illusion realm can only allow three to five nearby cultivators to connect to the localized realm together."
"Exactly, expanding the range is what makes it interesting," said True Man Danding.
The Painter Jiucai Rong praised, "Wonderful, absolutely wonderful, worthy of a True Immortal, you allow our illusion Golden Core not to be limited to cultivators within a single house for access."
True Man Danding said, "I am a renowned Forging Master in the Immortal Realm, among the strongest below Immortal Venerate, creating a True Immortal Magical Treasure for you is not difficult."
Her hobby is alchemy, but forging is her main profession.
Even she never expected to take on a forging job while traveling here for alchemy lessons as a hobby.
If it truly becomes successful.
Based on her calculations, she would gain a new stable source of income.
Even someone as wealthy as her would appreciate such profitability.
True Man Danding directly proposed:
"I suggest that your online game pill, for an initial valuation, can be sold at one hundred Upper Grade Immortal Stones per capsule."
The Painter Jiucai Rong replied, "Wouldn’t that be too expensive?"
Upper Grade Immortal Stones equals 10,000 Middle Grade Immortal Stones, equals 100,000 Lower Grade Immortal Stones.
A Golden Core pill lasts only one day... isn’t this a bit extreme?
According to their calculations, this item is a daily consumable.
Low margin, high sales volume, used daily...
True Man Danding waved her hand, "We must clarify our positioning; we only target the high-end, aimed at True Immortals, it’s normal even for Celestial Immortals to feel the pinch."
"With the two of us here, we can effectively penetrate the True Immortal market quickly, no need for excessive worry, don’t overestimate the True Immortals."
Chongshan Fang, serving as the intermediary, commented silently, "..."
I, a modest breakfast shop owner in a marketplace, couldn’t have imagined encountering such an extraordinary opportunity?
It’s only been a few months, yet here I am conversing with True Immortals, disregarding the lofty Celestial Immortals, primarily catering to True Immortal clients?
Ning Zheng, observing from the shadows, also paused in silence.
This True Man Danding is possibly among the wealthiest True Immortals, displaying a demeanor of treating money insignificantly.
This is a true magnate, having real influence and connections, we’ve met a benefactor assisting our forces!
If in a normal life, even crossing races, many would pursue her, right?
What a shame.
Beauties from Zhongluan Domain are most popular, while beauties from Refining Cauldron Domain make people mature quickly.
This steaming soft meal leaves many Immortals at a loss.
The affluent Super True Immortal True Man Danding continued speaking:
"I will provide you an Immortal Artifact that enhances range, I want 20% of the profit; this Golden Core’s divine sense projections across the Immortal Realm can all connect to the same illusion realm."
"Don’t think 20% is much profit, compared to my previous businesses, it’s actually less!"
"I hope for the remaining profits, I can supplement as part of management, and have the right to intervene in the construction of the illusion realm’s structure."
"Because I provide the wide-reaching Secret Realm entrance to the illusion realm."
Subsequently, the parties began discussing the collaboration details and profit sharing.
True Immortal Mo Mei didn’t provide much assistance, she didn’t have equity dividends but expressed she would bring True Immortals in...
This way, the parties finalized the main collaboration projects roughly.
In the afternoon, True Man Danding directly brought out a blacksmith shop Magical Treasure, enlarged it swiftly, placed it in the courtyard, and proceeded inside to forge Immortal Weapons herself.
Driving home a sense of urgency.
Duang Duang!
The sound of forging from inside resonated, crisp and clear, akin to the celestial music of the Great Dao.
True Man Danding removed the layer of heat-insulating bandage clothing, revealing a body as fiery as magma, her fist being her finest Immortal Artifact hammer.
She kept hammering the embryo.
Using various insulating fluid metal materials from within her body, bypassing the need for heating, directly forging.
Just that convenient!
The Refining Cauldron Domain’s cultivators, possessing hollow bodies with various insulated molten liquid divine materials within, isn’t that normal?
How can it be called a cauldron otherwise?
She continued hammering, inwardly contemplating:
"After finishing this Immortal Artifact, I’ll be investing in yet another small force, the one hundred and thirty-seventh."
"Investing in this force, making money is secondary, money to me now is merely digits, lacking opportunity, forever hopeless of reaching Immortal Venerate, primarily just conveniently learning alchemy techniques within this Golden Core force."
"Once mastering the core authority, it becomes convenient to study the Golden Core too."
Such were her thoughts.
Inviting her out to forge is typically extraordinarily difficult!
Often, aiding sects and major forces by creating top-tier Immortal Artifacts, she doesn’t directly ask for Immortal Stones, rather equity dividends.
Now, it’s also the case.
...
Duang Duang!
At the blacksmith shop’s entrance where True Man Danding was forging.
Standing outside watching, Chongshan Fang stared in disbelief, stunned:
"It worked, it worked! Such an outrageous plan actually succeeded, two True Immortals joined us... Those ridiculous blacksmiths are indeed wondrous!"
Henceforth, the Golden Core’s costliness would even pinch Celestial Immortals if excessively consumed.
Spending 100 Upper Grade Immortal Stones per day to purchase a Golden Core for entry!
Celestial Immortals are the backbone of the Immortal Realm; even in the top sect of True Immortal Mo Mei’s, the second strongest is merely Celestial Immortal Great Perfection, illustrating quality.
And as for me?
I, Chongshan Fang, don’t need to spend money.
Free access equates to profit, earning me 100 Upper Grade Immortal Stones daily!
Earning daily what I couldn’t earn in a lifetime!
By merely being their pseudo-human cafeteria pastry chef.
Initially those blacksmiths frequenting the cafeteria weren’t just bragging!
They said:
"In our manor, in the future, even tethering a dog will possess more dignity than Celestial Immortals and True Immortals laboring here!"
"You, as a cafeteria pastry chef NPC, even Celestial Immortals will eventually kneel, imploring you to issue daily cafeteria tasks, to wash dishes, to mop."
In the beginning, Chongshan Fang thought those absurd blacksmiths were simply acting foolishly.
Not a single truthful word.
Who knew that they weren’t just joking!
"I must heed the blacksmiths’ words, or they’ll kick me out, preventing me from being the regular cafeteria chef NPC, and have to pay the admission fee daily!"
A sense of urgency arose within Chongshan Fang.
Mulling over future prospects of profiteering, having a group of Celestial and True Immortals dining in the cafeteria, gauging my small stall owner’s expressions...
She trembled slightly with excitement.
My grand golden dream, becoming an Immortal Realm celebrity chef... fulfilled this way?
Celestial and True Immortals lining up to eat the delicious dishes personally made by me.
Although they line up to dine, even if the food is poorly cooked, they wouldn’t voice complaints... but the dream is accomplished.
Even under the identity of the cafeteria matron.
After one two-hour period.
True Immortal Mo Mei began discussing with the Painter Jiucai Rong and Chongshan Fang about completing the "Half-finished Illusion Realm" map.
Additionally, she intended to make some amendments to the login characters.
The Painter Jiucai Rong, displaying generosity:
"My lord, creating roles within, afterward True Immortal visitors logging into the patented roles designed by you will owe you commission, how about that?"
True Immortal Mo Mei nodded, "Possible, but insufficient, I realize you surely have a Yin Yang Creation Furnace in reality."
"I meticulously crafted heart and soul roles in the illusion realm, yet you duplicate my creations in reality, my losses are substantial!"
True Immortal Mo Mei was savvy.
Of course, she’d deduce they concocted this illusion realm scheme to glean techniques for free.
"Then the commission ratio on each patented role can be increased." The Painter Jiucai Rong pretended to be contemplative.
"I do not require additional commission."
True Immortal Mo Mei stated, "I want a privilege, every time I research a new formidable race, you deliver one pair to me in reality."
Chongshan Fang, on the side, showed an expression of difficulty.
The [Resource Mail] system hasn’t been prepared for official launch yet.
Though post-launch, the illusion realm’s value will leap substantially.
Because True Immortals would be astounded to discover: "virtual items" within the illusion realm could be extracted.
