Merchant From Earth in the Magical World

Sell, I must sell!

Since others can buy it elsewhere, why shouldn't I make this money?

Moreover, if Cloud Tower's Alchemy Technology could leave the entire world's alchemy technology so far behind, would it really fear you catching up just by establishing a basic Alchemy Laboratory?

Gaga knew full well that leading in technology meant leading every step of the way.

Eternal Domain couldn't even produce a mana generator, yet they could make an alchemical watch. This clearly showed they'd skewed their alchemy tech tree.

Although Yan Xing possessed some seemingly mysterious alchemy techniques, Gaga believed this mystery was only temporary. Given time, he could decipher all the little tricks involved.

In terms of Alchemy Technology, Cloud Tower was unsurpassable.

Having thought it through, Gaga was quite pleased. He prepared the equipment for Yan Xing according to the provided purchase list, pricing it very fairly.

After all, this wasn't a monopoly, and he needed to consider the relationship between Yan Xing and Count Theodore.

If he priced it too high, the deal would be off.

The Goblin merchant's calculations were very meticulous.

With the basic equipment for the Alchemy Laboratory secured, Yan Xing then purchased some alchemy raw materials as Chui Chui requested.

Anything related to alchemy was indeed quite expensive, but alchemy raw materials were still much cheaper than finished alchemical products.

Goblin alchemy stores overcharged based on their unique technology.

Now that the alchemy materials were bought, Chui Chui spoke to Yan Xing again. "Master, I've recently conducted in-depth research into all the books related to alchemical puppets. The core component controlling an alchemical puppet's movement is an alchemical device called a Spiritual Sphere.

If we could link the Spiritual Sphere with a smartphone, we could connect every alchemical puppet to the domain's information network.

However, the Spiritual Sphere of an alchemical puppet has no interface to connect with a smartphone.

We need to develop and add a converter for weak electrical signals to mana signals.

I hope Master can purchase a batch of Spiritual Spheres to be used as experimental consumables for the weak electrical signal to mana signal converter."

Buy!

In Chui Chui's modification plan for Low-Level Magical Puppets, the aim was to upgrade them to link with the domain's servers.

Under server control, these Low-Level Magical Puppets would no longer perform manual labor. Instead, they would become skilled technicians, operating the machine tools purchased later for mass production.

Smartphones were ready-to-use control terminals for these Low-Level Magical Puppets.

"Master, I want to buy a batch of high-grade alchemical metallic muscle fibers for research, to be consumed by High-grade Alchemical Puppets."

Buy!

High-grade Alchemical Puppets are too expensive. If we can make them ourselves, then let's do it.

"Master, I want to buy Neural Induction Sources. They should be useful for modifying the Low-Level Magical Puppets."

Buy!

"Master, I would like to buy a Magic Core Reactor."

Buy!

"Master, I want to buy..."

Buy!

After all, whatever Chui Chui asks for, I'll buy.

The things my little secretary wants to purchase can't be a loss or a scam.

They must all be useful.

It was just that the final bill came to... 100,000 Gold Coins!

This really gave Yan Xing quite a shock.

For just these few items, you're charging me this much?

The 1,000 pairs of windproof goggles I sold only brought in 100,000 Gold Coins, and you've swindled it all away in one go!

Swindler!

Facing Yan Xing's questioning, the Goblin Gaga itemized the purchase list, calculating each item for him.

The basic equipment and materials for the Alchemy Laboratory were indeed not expensive.

The expense lay in the items Yan Xing bought later.

These were all finished and semi-finished alchemical products. Of course, they upheld the Goblin Alchemy Store's consistent principle: when fleecing customers, never be soft-handed.

Not buying? You won't find these elsewhere! If you want them, just pay up.

Looking at those eye-popping numbers, Yan Xing could only obediently sign the order agreement.

There was no other way. Those who have the technology call the shots.

Afterward, Yan Xing didn't dare ask Chui Chui what else she wanted to buy.

He simply couldn't afford any more.

He directly instructed Gaga to show him the mana generators so he could take his goods and leave quickly.

If he stayed any longer, Yan Xing feared even his underwear might be left behind.

The Goblin Gaga, having made his money, put on a smile again.

After Yan Xing finished inspecting the mana generators, Gaga was satisfied to receive the watch from Yan Xing's wrist.

However, when Yan Xing returned to Nuta City and came back with his truck, the smile on Gaga's face vanished.

He had heard that during the road repair competition with the Golden Oak Chamber of Commerce, Yan Xing had used a batch of heavy-duty wheeled alchemical vehicles.

He hadn't seen them with his own eyes at the time, so he hadn't thought much of it.

Beyond a certain weight, many problems with wheeled vehicles became difficult to solve satisfactorily.

The only solution was to prepare more spare parts and constantly replace easily worn components.

This was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly, not to mention the huge energy consumption.

For objects weighing over ten tons, the Low-level Alchemical Golems from the Goblin Alchemy Factory were more durable and efficient.

But upon actually seeing Yan Xing's large truck, its solid structure truly opened Gaga's eyes.

The wheels weren't the metal ones he had imagined. These black, hard yet elastic wheels maintained their shape well under heavy pressure.

Otherwise, if they deformed, rolling would be less efficient than switching to a multi-legged structure.

And judging by its size, weight, and structure... the load-bearing axles should have fractured long ago.

How did it manage to travel all the way from Nuta City to here?

And it has to go all the way back to Eternal Domain!

Not to mention the mana generator components weighing over ten tons loaded in the truck bed, plus some Low-level Alchemical Golems stuffed inside.

These Low-level Alchemical Golems, made of stone, were not light at all.

In total, that must be over twenty tons, right?

Adding the weight of this alchemical vehicle itself, it must be nearly forty tons!

Yet, the vehicle's structural performance hadn't changed at all!

What is this thing made of?

And what kind of power system can move such a heavy alchemical vehicle?!

Extreme curiosity getting the better of him, the Goblin Gaga circled the large truck. He grew more intrigued by the minute, until he couldn't help but ask Yan Xing, "Is this truck for sale?"

Yan Xing finished securing all the cargo with ropes and then climbed into the driver's cabin.

He said to the Goblin Gaga, "It's for sale! As long as the price is right, it's yours.

"Come on, get in.

"Before we talk price, I'll let you take it for a test drive.

"I need to haul away all the goods I've bought and will have to make a few more trips. That will give you ample time to fully experience my truck's performance.

"I guarantee that if you buy it and take it home, you'll definitely feel it's worth every penny.

"The passenger seat is on the other side. Come on up..."

Looking at Yan Xing's smile, the Goblin Gaga felt as if he were seeing his own recent smile. He knew that once he got on this truck, Yan Xing's sharp knife would swiftly take an arm or a leg from him.

As a merchant, Gaga warned himself... turn around and leave immediately!

But Gaga still couldn't control his limbs. He walked to the other side of the truck and, using the alchemical seat, climbed into the open passenger side.

At that moment, Gaga felt as if he were lying flat on a chopping block, just waiting for Yan Xing's knife to fall.
