Chapter 412: Bringing Down the Price

"God of Wealth, the river of time in the main Time and Space has sensed your needs and is offering communication services," Yuanbao suddenly announced.

"The river of time in the main Time and Space says it can connect to the rivers of time in every sub-timeline," Yuanbao added.

"For the God of Wealth who wants to understand the talent of Money Breaks Duality, he can actually send your thoughts from here to there through the mysterious realm."

"At the moment before that God of Wealth’s death, a flood of information can be transmitted to him."

Su Wen: "…"

After a brief silence, Su Wen asked, "How much will it cost?"

"Five hundred million."

"Five hundred million just to send a message?"

"That’s the quote from the river of time. Are you interested, God of Wealth? If so, Yuanbao can try to negotiate and see if we can lower the price."

"Forget it," Su Wen waved his hand, clearly uninterested in negotiating such an exorbitant fee.

The river of time’s actions were clearly opportunistic, pricing based on the wealth of the customer.

While some services that could significantly enhance the power of the main Time and Space might warrant a cost of hundreds of millions, charging five hundred million just to send a simple message seemed excessive.

"God of Wealth, the River of Fate can also provide this service," Luobao suddenly interjected.

"How much does that cost?"

"Fifty thousand."

"?"

Su Wen was stunned by the stark contrast in price.

"God of Wealth, sending a message is actually a very simple and straightforward task," Luobao explained. "The River of Fate says the river of time is known for taking advantage of opportunities to overcharge."

"Charging five hundred million just to send a message is outrageous."

"It’s clear they see you as an easy target. Such blatant price gouging, God of Wealth, makes you wonder if this is the hospitality the river of time claims to offer."

"If it is, doesn’t that mean their idea of hospitality is to exploit their customers?"

Hearing this, Yuanbao’s eyes flickered, and images of Time and Space projections seemed to dance within them.

The overlapping lights appeared to reflect scenes of heated arguments and debates.

"God of Wealth, the river of time is offering more than just message delivery. For five hundred million, they can also briefly revive the consciousness left by the Sub-timeline’s God of Wealth before his death," Yuanbao explained.

"If you agree, you might even be able to communicate face-to-face with that Sub-timeline’s God of Wealth’s consciousness."

"Regarding the five hundred million, Yuanbao has already had some discussions with the river of time’s representatives."

"In a friendly and harmonious discussion, the River of Time, considering its relationship with Yuanbao and the strategic partnership with you, the God of Wealth, is willing to offer you a deal at cost price."

"From five hundred million riches, it has been reduced to twenty million riches."

Luobao glanced at Yuanbao and then stated directly, "God of Wealth, concerning the memorial for this Time and Space, what you desire to achieve through the God of Wealth in the past sub-timelines is also aimed at preserving the consciousness from the moment before his death."

"A strand of the power of fate from the River of Fate extends out, and while providing communication services, it can naturally also convey the consciousness of the sub-timeline’s God of Wealth."

"If the God of Wealth needs it, he only requires ten thousand riches, and the River of Fate can arrange for the consciousness of that sub-timeline’s God of Wealth to meet briefly with the God of Wealth."

Upon hearing this, Su Wen felt no need to rush.

Memorializing his own matters wasn’t an urgency at the moment.

So, he pulled the soft chair next to him closer and sat down slowly.

Communicating with the sub-timelines and even the possibility of meeting was something he had always anticipated.

After all, he had never truly understood the real thoughts of the God of Wealth from the sub-timelines.

Though referred to as the God of Wealth in the sub-timelines, to be precise, wasn’t that essentially himself at some point in the future?

He was very much looking forward to meeting his future self.

"God of Wealth, the River of Time says that what the River of Fate proposes violates the order of time and space and will cause chaos in Time and Space!"

"God of Wealth, the River of Fate indicates that the River of Time is just using this as an excuse to raise the price; arranging for a split consciousness to meet won’t cause any time turbulence—this is just a lie!"

"God of Wealth, the River of Time claims that the River of Fate’s actions are to make you doubt matters of Time and Space, which is why they maliciously lower the cost during negotiations."

"Ha! God of Wealth, the River of Fate says the River of Time is starting to use its so-called tricks to deceive again, and even if the River of Fate lowers its price, the River of Time can do that too!"

"God of Wealth, to resist the capital of fate and to prevent you from being deceived by the River of Fate, the River of Time decides to fight to the end; for just five million riches, it can arrange everything for you."

"…"

At this moment, Yuanbao and Luobao no longer represented the Divine Artifacts of the God of Wealth, but the relevant rivers they connected with behind the scenes.

Su Wen sat quietly, not saying a word, simply watching the two rivers engage in a battle of marketing.

He even noticed Yuanbao’s increasingly radiant smile and realized that every time she argued on behalf of the River of Time, the other side was likely giving her a chunk of riches as compensation.

In this world, nothing made Yuanbao happier than seeing the amount in the Little Gold Vault rise.

And seeing Yuanbao’s beaming smile made Su Wen genuinely happy for her.

The Little Gold Vault!

The more, the better!

Finally, after half an hour of verbal sparring, the price from the River of Time became eight hundred thousand riches, including the service of the consciousness of the sub-timeline God of Wealth and the promise to maintain the order of time and space, ensuring no unexpected incidents during the communication.

On the other hand, the River of Fate also maximized its offerings, but without the promise to maintain the order of time and space, the price rose to eight hundred thousand and a bit more riches.

From the pricing shown by the River of Fate, Su Wen understood that perhaps from the very beginning, the purpose of the River of Fate was to greatly lower the high price of the River of Time.

Look at this; the service isn’t as good as the River of Time, yet the fees are even higher than those of the River of Time.

It’s clear they don’t want him to choose the direction of the River of Fate.

At the same time, that slightly higher price than the River of Time was a deliberate attempt to annoy it.

He could imagine that in the chaos of the two rivers clashing, the River of Fate might be making faces, mocking the incompetence of the River of Time and teasing it with cold remarks.

After all, a mere verbal exchange had caused a significant price drop from the River of Time, even at a loss.

The profit had been driven to the lowest it could go.

Perhaps the River of Time might even be losing money.

After all, the River of Time still had to pay Yuanbao for her speaking fees.

Hmm… frankly, he was now increasingly interested in the love-hate relationship between the River of Time and the River of Fate.

What kind of harm had turned the River of Fate into this way?
