Chapter 1189: I’ll Give You The Money!

This was the only way he could estimate how many Platinum Item-Storing Walnuts he would need for one return trip between the Radiance Federation and Divine Wood Federation.

Given the amount of Creation Master resources that Lin Yuan possessed, he would easily be able to evolve the Item-Storing Walnut tree to Diamond grade once he managed to obtain one.

Mr. Feng hurriedly pointed at one of the Item-Storing Walnuts that had a marking on it and said, “There are 40 Bronze Item-Storing Walnuts inside this Silver Item-Storing Walnut. If you need Bronze Item-Storing Walnuts, you can help yourself with those.”

Luo Ya’s eyes remained fixed on Lin Yuan the entire time she was dancing.

However, she sadly noticed that the old man from the Sincere Merchant Group had accosted Lin Yuan not long after she started dancing.

She no longer had any interest in continuing dancing if Lin Yuan was not watching her.

Moreover, there were many middle-aged men around who were clapping and cheering for her.

Their pockmarked faces sent shivers up and down her spine. Hence, she put on the large purple cloak she had been swinging around and walked toward Lin Yuan.

She arrived by his side just in time to hear Lin Yuan mention his need for Bronze and Gold Item-Storing Walnuts.

Luo Ya tossed the only Gold Item-Storing Walnut she had and two Bronze Item-Storing Walnuts to Lin Yuan and said, “I have both Gold and Bronze Item-Storing Walnuts.”

Lin Yuan received the Item-Storing Walnuts and nodded at Luo Ya in thanks.

If he only had either a Gold or Bronze Item-Storing Walnut, his comparison with the Silver Item-Storing Walnut would not be accurate.

But with all three grades, Lin Yuan would be able to accurately determine how much spatial energy one Diamond Item-Storing Walnuts contained.

After carefully comparing the three grades of Item-Storing Walnut, he determined that each differed by about ten times the amount of spatial energy.

As such, one Diamond Item-Storing Walnut would contain the equivalent spatial energy of 1,000 Silver Item-Storing Walnuts.

This meant he would only need 50 Diamond Item-Storing Walnuts to make one return trip between the Radiance Federation and Divine Wood Federation.

Lin Yuan hoped that the Item-Storing Walnut tree would be able to produce many fruits at a time.

He did have his methods to increase the Item-Storing Walnut tree’s fruits by other means. All he needed was some marsh soil.

Lin Yuan returned the Gold and two Bronze Item-Storing Walnuts to Luo Ya before returning the Silver Item-Storing Walnut to Mr. Feng.

“I don’t have much use for these nine Item-Storing Walnuts. You should keep them for yourself. I would actually prefer it if we can establish a partnership through which I can obtain some of the resources I require,” said Lin Yuan.

Mr. Feng’s expression was a mix of bitterness and joy.

From Lin Yuan’s retainer and the white cat, he could tell that Lin Yuan couldn’t care less about the lowly riches that he had spent half his life amassing.

Mr. Feng became acutely aware of how feeble the Sincere Merchant Group was.

But at the same time, Mr. Feng was also delighted at Lin Yuan’s offer to work together.

However, Mr. Feng was so beaten down by this new perspective of his standing in life that his expression immediately soured.

“You’ve seen our Sincere Merchant Group for yourself and should be aware of our capabilities. I don’t think we can supply the resources you need.”

Lin Yuan smiled and asked, “What is the most basic necessity for a merchant group’s operation?”

Mr. Feng replied instinctively, “That would be that every member is reliable and has a stable source of income.”

He responded without much thinking as he did not understand why Lin Yuan was asking him such a question.

“According to my knowledge, every small merchant group has a larger merchant organization supporting them. The large merchant organization will also take resources from you. You can even trade for some designated goods with the merchant organization. Can you help me trade for goods with the merchant organization if I give you money?” replied Lin Yuan.

Mr. Feng gulped before asking tentatively, “That will have to depend on what you want to trade for. Our Sincere Merchant Group only has around 100 members. Our rank isn’t high within the Deep Freeze Merchant Organization, so we don’t have access to many of the goods. We won’t have access to other goods unless we raise our ranking.”

Lin Yuan asked casually, “Are you headed to the Iron Hammer Federation or Divine Wood Federation?”

Mr. Feng hastily replied, “We’ve exchanged all of the goods from the Divine Wood Federation for fur and metal. We plan on going deeper into the Divine Wood Federation. It just so happens that the Deep Freeze Merchant Organization has a branch in Grand Wood City. We’ll be able to liquidate all the goods we didn’t manage to sell there. Once they’re liquidated, we’ll have the money to buy specialty goods from the Divine Wood Federation.”

Mr. Feng was completely honest with Lin Yuan about the Sincere Merchant Group’s plans.

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment before saying, “You can empty out the Silver Item-Containing Walnut. I’ll take both the Item-Containing Walnut and the Bronze Item-Containing Walnut. I hope that you’ll collect all the Item-Containing Walnuts that the other members have. Tomorrow, I’ll return completely filled-up Item-Containing Walnuts to you. You can regard the resources within the Item-Containing Walnuts as finances that the Sincere Merchant Group can use to expand itself. Give me your contact details, and I’ll call you whenever I need any resources.”

Mr. Feng was ecstatic and felt that a miracle had descended on their Sincere Merchant Group.

Feng Jiazhi did not have to provide any reason when he went around to the Sincere Merchant members to collect their Item-Storing Walnuts.

Everyone handed their Item-Storing Walnuts without question when they heard that it was Lin Yuan who wanted them.

Lin Yuan took note of all this.

He had initially planned on using the Sincere Merchant Group as a medium to get in contact with and negotiate a collaboration with the larger merchant organization.

However, he now decided to give the Sincere Merchant Group a chance.

If they could make good use of this opportunity and become beneficial to Lin Yuan, they would become much more useful than the merchant organization.

From Mr. Feng to the other Sincere Merchant members, all of them were willing to give up their assets to Lin Yuan.

As such, it was unlikely that they would secretly scheme behind his back in the future.
