Chapter 30 Resources of One World
About ten minutes later, Chen Yang, Tokugawa Koji, and Wang Jianguo arrived at the central square of Bright Island.
The incense stick was almost half gone; one stick of incense lasts about half an hour.
Su Fan and Jiang He had been waiting for a long time. "You've arrived!" Su Fan said.
"Wow! Brother Su, Sister Jiang, you've spent money! That's so convenient!" Chen Yang said as he walked up to the two of them. "What kind of opportunity are you talking about? This giant, glowing egg? What's the significance of it?"
"Yes! This is the opportunity. You'll understand once you get around the sphere of light." Su Fan didn't explain further, letting Chen Yang experience the inferior version of the God Space he had created for himself.
Seeing Su Fan's words, Chen Yang walked over to the ball of light.
Welcome to the architecture of Bright Island – the list of wonders of mountains and seas.
Here, you can exchange Emotion Crystals for knowledge, skills, rare items, and specific services.
Following that was a dazzling array of entries:
[Oddities/Items]:
Pangu's Blood Essence (Eighth-Tier Rare Item): Can strengthen the physical body; after use, one may randomly gain supernatural powers; originates from the primordial world.
Blank Divine Spark (Eighth-Tier Rare Item): A divine spark collected after the death of a certain god. After use, one can become a god and choose their own divine office.
The Infinity Stones in their combined form (Eighth Order): Represent the six fundamental laws governing the universe: space, time, reality, power, mind, and soul. Once all are collected, the user can fulfill any wish, including altering reality and erasing half of all life in the universe. (From the Marvel universe.)
The Necronomicon (Tier 7): A forbidden tome compiled by the madman Abdullah al-Hasad of Arabia, recording the history, forms, and summoning methods of indescribable beings such as Outer Gods and Great Old Ones, originating from the Cthulhu universe.
[Knowledge/Techniques]:
Ultra Instinct (Level 7): This is a perfect combat state where the body transcends conscious instincts. It represents the pinnacle of this worldview, embodying the principle of "skill approaching the Way," elevating combat to an automated, optimized operation of universal laws, originating from the Dragon Ball world.
The Three Thousand Chaos Gods and Demons Scripture: A supreme Daoist canon containing countless supernatural powers, originating from the primordial world.
The Great Art of Transformation (Ninth Order): The supreme art of a certain Heavenly Emperor, which can manifest the supernatural powers of others and even manifest a future body to fight against enemies.
The dazzling array of magical artifacts, cultivation techniques, and supernatural abilities on the Mountain and Sea Wonders List successfully captivated Chen Yang.
"What a stroke of luck! Could this be the main god that was dismantled and thrown here?!" Chen Yang exclaimed excitedly.
"Don't get excited yet. The items on there are indeed very good, but they are also extremely expensive. We simply can't afford to exchange them!" Jiang He reminded Chen Yang, who was lost in his daydream.
"So what? At worst, I can slowly earn it back using the Love-Absorbing Gourd. I'll pay off the debt in six months at most, and then I'll start preparing to exchange it for superpowers. At that time, I won't eat beef anymore." Chen Yang was clearly not discouraged and was still immersed in his own world.
"Xiao Chen, those particularly powerful items, besides being expensive to exchange for, I don't even know how many zeros there are, and there are other requirements. Even if we have enough emotional crystals, we still can't meet the exchange requirements," Wang Jianguo said.
"Where there's a will, there's a way. You guys don't even dare to dream about it," Chen Yang said, looking at the group after regaining his composure.
This list of wonders of mountains and seas is just a carrot that Su Fan put on a donkey's head, a pie in the sky for the working class, and it's really big and round!
"I also saw the Love-Drinking Gourd on the Mountain and Sea Wonders List. I suppose Senior Luo exchanged it here and then gave it to us for a loan," Wang Jianguo said appropriately.
"Oh, I'll take a look too," Chen Yang said, and began browsing the list of strange artifacts from the mountains and seas, but this time he was searching with a specific purpose in mind.
Sure enough, I soon saw the Emotion-Gathering Gourd on the Mountain and Sea Wonders List. It was a Tier 1 Wonder, and its exchange price was 50,000 Emotion Crystals.
"So, the price Senior Luo paid for our goods was even cheaper than here!" Chen Yang said, somewhat astonished.
"Look at it from another angle," Jiang He said after thinking for a moment. "It's like we own a mine, but we don't have the tools to mine it. Someone gave us the tools, but they also want 10% of the profits from the mining."
Wang Jianguo glanced at Yingzhao, subtly nudged Jiang He, and said, "Senior Luo is a kind and righteous person! Without him, we wouldn't even have a way to collect emotional crystals, let alone have the opportunity to know about these things."
None of them were stupid; they immediately understood and changed the subject.
"Perhaps we can earn money first, then exchange it for the Soul-Gathering Gourd, and follow Senior Luo's example to pass on this blessing!" Su Fan's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and he suggested.
"This is a good idea. There are countless people in our world, and countless emotions are simply wasted. Utilizing them to exchange for emotional crystals would be excellent as fuel on our path to immortality," Chen Yang immediately understood and said excitedly.
"It's definitely feasible! These emotional crystals are hard and not easily damaged, and they don't have much weight, so they can also preserve time," Wang Jianguo said.
Everyone noticed that Yingzhao didn't seem to care about their conversation and started discussing it with great interest, except for one person who didn't have a divine beast inheritance and found that he couldn't get involved at all, as if he were an outsider.
"But we need to think this through. Right now, our efficiency in collecting emotion crystals is pretty good, but that's because we're not all in the same city. If there were too many people collecting emotion crystals, the efficiency probably wouldn't be as high," Jiang He added after thinking for a moment.
"We have the resources of an entire world behind us! I suggest we establish the Shan Hai Limited Group in reality, and start after we pay off our debts. With the resources of an entire world, we can't even imagine how wealthy we'll be in the future. We'll all eat meat and drink wine to our hearts' content, and divide gold and silver by weight. We'll share the good times and the bad." Chen Yang didn't see Jiang He's concerns at all; instead, he was lost in his fantasies about the future.
"This is great, this is great!" Wang Jianguo was also caught up in a rare moment of fantasy with Chen Yang.
"Everyone, calm down. This idea is good, but things can't be rushed. We have to take things one step at a time. Each of us is currently burdened with debts of over ten thousand emotional crystals. And there are many things to consider, such as why others would help us collect them. Emotional crystals can directly enhance mental strength when consumed. We're not on the front lines; if our employees hoard emotional crystals, how can we guarantee their safety? It's not as easy as you think." Jiang He poured cold water on the two who were lost in their fantasies, turning her gaze to Su Fan. "Su Fan, you should also try to persuade them."
