Merchant From Earth in the Magical World

The Goblin Alchemy Warehouse, located in the western suburbs of Nuta City, was a small but extremely well-defended fortress.

Inside the fortress, armed combat golems were visible everywhere, showcasing formidable military strength.

This finally made Yan Xing understand why Goblin traders were all so arrogantly annoying.

Because one simply couldn't beat them.

The fortress interior was bustling with activity; many Goblins directed Stone Golems as they transported large wooden crates back and forth.

Occasionally, a human officer in full armor could be seen passing by.

Goblin Gaga eagerly explained to Yan Xing, "According to the intelligence we've gathered, the Orc and Elf alliance has moved southward. Their vanguard has already fought several skirmishes with the Wildwind Highlands Legion, taking down a few human fortresses.

The great war is about to begin.

We've also received numerous orders from Marquis Anderson and other human nobility, so the entire factory is working overtime to produce Alchemical Weapons.

If Sir Yan Xing would like to purchase any alchemical equipment, it's best to place your order now. Our current stock of alchemical materials is still ample, but prices will surely skyrocket in the coming days."

Yan Xing purchasing so many alchemical watches, apparently without fully understanding them yet, was quite a blow to Goblin Gaga.

Now, he simply wanted to sell Yan Xing a batch of his own alchemical equipment to soothe his bruised ego.

And incidentally, recoup some of the capital spent on the alchemical watches.

Yan Xing seriously considered Goblin Gaga's procurement suggestion.

Most of the five hundred watches he had put up for sale had already been sold, and the rest would surely sell quickly too.

That amounted to an income of 250,000 God-given gold coins.

Additionally, the order for flying goggles had been settled with Count Theodore; the Wildwind Highlands Legion had urgently requested one thousand pairs.

However, Count Theodore was unwilling to pay with God-given gold coins. After repeated negotiations with Yan Xing, they settled on a price of 100 Gold Coins per pair of flying goggles.

One thousand pairs amounted to 100,000 Gold.

The cost for road repairs from the Eternal Domain to Nuta City had also been calculated.

The road stretched 126 kilometers. The Eternal Domain would cover half the costs, and Nuta City would pay the other half.

The Eternal Domain's road crew would carry out the repair work.

The repair cost was 65 Gold per hundred meters, requiring Nuta City to pay Yan Xing 40,000 Gold.

Nuta City would also foot the bill for the fortress that the Eternal Domain and Nuta City were jointly building.

The initial construction expenses were estimated at 10,000 Gold.

Regardless of how much of this fortune had yet to arrive, Yan Xing currently had money in his pocket and felt confident.

It's rare to visit the Goblins' Alchemy Warehouse. How can I not enjoy the pleasure of a little spending?

Yan Xing said, "Mr. Gaga, do you have a detailed inventory list? I'd like to buy something, but I don't know what you have here."

Finally able to make money from Yan Xing, Goblin Gaga immediately stopped another Goblin and took a statistical report from him. He glanced over it, then handed it to Yan Xing, saying, "This is our current stock, and following that are the products we can manufacture.

Please take your time, Sir Yan Xing. Let me know what you wish to purchase, and I will immediately arrange for someone to prepare your order, prioritizing your needs."

Holding the inventory list, Yan Xing called his secretary, "Is there anything you'd like to buy? If you see something you like... Master will buy it for you."

Doesn't this feel like taking a little secretary on a shopping spree in a big mall?

HAHAHA...

Chui Chui changed her clothes, put on her glasses, and sat at her desk. She saved the records from the inventory list into her database and then, using her stored alchemical knowledge, began to identify each item.

"Master... the supercomputing laboratory in the domain has started working. The supercomputing alchemy group is integrating alchemical knowledge and technical data, generating an Alchemical Technology tree structure.

We still need to build an Alchemy Laboratory to realize the alchemical technologies we compute.

I hope Master can build an Alchemy Laboratory for Chui Chui.

In this list of alchemical items, there's a full set of equipment to build a basic Alchemy Laboratory. With these, I can manufacture higher-level equipment to upgrade the Alchemy Laboratory."

The supercomputer Chui Chui previously requested wasn't hard to buy; it could work with a gasoline generator set.

With the supercomputer, Chui Chui essentially gained a second brain—one with superior logical computing ability.

As a result, Chui Chui's ability to process Magic and Alchemy theory and knowledge became faster, and she had already developed many magical technologies based on real-world science.

However, without an Alchemy Laboratory, it was impossible to verify, correct, refine, and implement these technologies.

An Alchemy Laboratory was indispensable for the development of the Eternal Domain.

Buy!

Yan Xing, guided by Chui Chui's purchase list, compared it with the inventory spreadsheet he held and told Gaga, one by one, the items he wanted to buy.

Gaga hadn't expected Yan Xing to want equipment related to alchemical experiments rather than finished alchemical products. He asked, "Mr. Yan Xing, with the Alchemy Technology you command, you shouldn't need these things, should you?"

Yan Xing explained, "The alchemy system of the Thunderous Swamp and that of the Cloud Tower are quite different. We can make alchemical watches, but we can't produce magical energy generators.

Our Alchemy Technology has reached a bottleneck, and we hope to find inspiration in the Alchemy of the Cloud Tower."

The joy of potentially making money instantly vanished from Gaga's face.

Of course, he could see that the Alchemy Technology embedded in the watches was vastly different from that which the Cloud Tower possessed.

He doesn't want finished alchemical products; he wants Alchemy Technology...

This is our bread and butter! Naturally, Gaga couldn't be happy.

"I'm sorry..."

Yan Xing interrupted Gaga, saying, "Don't be too hasty to refuse. I'm absolutely certain that your Goblin Alchemy Factory isn't the only one that can provide what I require.

These items aren't like finished alchemical products that embody highly sophisticated Alchemy Technology; they are just the most basic things for an Alchemy Laboratory.

Count Theodore must have them.

I'm willing to order from you simply to express my goodwill and let you earn this money.

I hope this can establish a good foundation for our future cooperation.

I don't mind if you learn our technology from the alchemical products of the Eternal Commerce Guild."

Yan Xing's words left Gaga deep in thought.

The Cloud Tower's advantage lies in high-level Alchemy; they can make the same things better.

But the Cloud Tower's Alchemy Technology was also developed based on the world's foundational Alchemy.

Everyone knows basic Alchemy; even the Cloud Tower's superior techniques can't be *that* much more advanced in this area.

The equipment Yan Xing wants is the most basic for an Alchemy Laboratory; it really can be bought anywhere.

It's like using a rock to crack nuts—that's sufficient; there's no need to buy a stamping press.

Therefore, refusing to sell these things to Yan Xing wouldn't actually stop anything, but it would negatively affect the relationship between us.

Gaga was indeed very envious of the Eternal Domain's Alchemy Technology.
