Chapter 137: Yuanbao’s Little Gold Vault
"Yuanbao, do you have a little gold vault?"
Su Wen suddenly shifted the topic, his tone turning serious.
At these words, Yuanbao’s expression froze instantly.
"Um… God of Wealth, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Nothing, just thought I’d ask."
Su Wen continued, "As the symbol of wealth, you must have your own little gold vault, right?"
"So, how much money do you have saved up?"
"Where did this money come from?"
Yuanbao scratched his head and glanced back at the clay basin. Suddenly, he said, "God of Wealth, I just remembered that if the Divine Artifacts of the God of Wealth gather dust and completely lose their divine essence, they will turn into clay figures."
"In that case, this clay basin really could be the Gathering Treasure Basin!"
"Yeah… but a Divine Artifact that has completely lost its divine essence almost symbolizes that its internal spirit has completely vanished."
"If it hasn’t turned into dust and completely disappeared, it means this Divine Artifact still holds a high Level and is struggling one last time."
Su Wen picked up the clay basin and asked, "Is there a way to awaken the divine essence of the Gathering Treasure Basin?"
"There is, but the cost is high."
"What cost?"
"It requires you to expend a large amount of Wealth Source to allow me to enter the next state."
Yuanbao continued, "From the perspective of divine essence, I need my divine essence to break through five."
"Then I will infuse the power of divine essence into the Gathering Treasure Basin, and there might be a chance to awaken its divine essence."
"But doing this, I have a high probability of dropping a Level, and perhaps… I might gather dust again."
"If my last bit of divine essence also disappears and the Gathering Treasure Basin hasn’t awakened, then, God of Wealth, you will lose a large amount of Wealth Source along with losing Yuanbao."
Su Wen slowly stood up and said softly, “So that’s why you didn’t tell me earlier?”
"That’s right…"
"This is the first and last time, you understand?"
"Yuanbao understands."
Yuanbao sat honestly at the table, feeling quite anxious.
After all, the God of Wealth is the New God of Wealth, and he is currently only at the Third Level, still quite far from mastering the divine essence of the God of Wealth.
Most importantly, he really did not sense that the clay basin in front of him was the Gathering Treasure Basin.
Yet, there was undeniably a trace of familiar aura coming from the clay basin.
At this point, it was not wrong to say that the Divine Artifact was nearly extinguished.
Forcing his divine essence to awaken the divine essence of the Gathering Treasure Basin would likely lead to problems.
Unless the God of Wealth has abundant Wealth Source, otherwise, if things go wrong, he might enter a state of extinction as well.
In any case, without being sure that the clay basin is indeed the Wealth Gathering Basin, he really couldn’t take the risk.
What if he was mistaken?
What if this clay basin isn’t it?
Then the God of Wealth would have wasted so much Wealth Source, wouldn’t that be a shame?
After all, he only vaguely sensed a trace of aura, but since the God of Wealth had no money, he really didn’t dare to gamble.
Especially in the early stage of the God of Wealth’s new role, wasting so much Wealth Source due to his mistakes would be disastrous!
Of course, there was also a small reason. He knew about the Wealth Gathering Basin’s function, which was a massive money eater!
He felt a bit sorry for the God of Wealth and didn’t want to make his burden too heavy.
"Wealth Source Value: 38,472."
Su Wen focused his thoughts, and the Wealth Source Value column appeared before him.
“Let’s give it a try!”
“Let’s see if over thirty thousand in Wealth Source can help Yuanbao enter the next stage?”
With that thought, Su Wen opened Yuanbao’s information interface and began to feed him Wealth Source.
"Esteemed God of Wealth, you spent 1,000 Wealth Source and fed the Divine Artifact, Yuanbao. The divine essence of Yuanbao has slightly increased."
"Esteemed God of Wealth, you spent 2,000 Wealth Source and fed the Divine Artifact, Yuanbao. The divine essence of Yuanbao has increased by a moderate amount."
"Esteemed God of Wealth, you spent 5,000 Wealth Source and fed the Divine Artifact, Yuanbao. The divine essence of Yuanbao has significantly increased."
“……”
After feeding a total of thirty thousand Wealth Source, Su Wen stared at the four points of divine essence on Yuanbao’s information interface, falling into silence.
Thirty thousand Wealth Source only increased two points of divine essence?
The difficulty of increasing divine essence is rising exponentially!
As he pondered, Su Wen suddenly looked at Yuanbao.
"God of Wealth, I swear, I truly did not steal your money!"
Yuanbao seemed to sense Su Wen’s thoughts and quickly said, "If I stole your money, let me perish right here and even if I have billions of divine essence calling, I cannot awaken!"
Su Wen replied gently, "If you didn’t steal my money, then where did the money in your Little Gold Vault come from?"
Yuanbao poked his small hands together, tangled up, "Well… Yuanbao can gather wealth from around the world, so in places rich in Wealth Source, Yuanbao can absorb some weak power and condense it into Wealth Source."
"So, the more money nearby, the faster you can gather Wealth Source?"
"Strictly speaking, the more Wealth Source you have, the faster Yuanbao will gather wealth."
"What if I put Wealth Source with you? Will that speed up your gathering?"
"Well… Yuanbao’s ability is not affected by the position of Wealth Source."
Yuanbao said seriously, "However, if you put Wealth Source with me, it would indeed enhance the power Yuanbao possesses to some extent."
Su Wen glanced at Yuanbao. Just a moment ago, he was the God of Wealth, and now he referred to him as master.
Was this Little Yuanbao’s behavior influenced by him?
No way!
Is that to say he has this kind of personality?
That’s definitely slander!
"Don’t worry, I’ll try to raise your divine essence to six, or even seven, or eight. Once I’m sure there won’t be any problems, we can awaken the divine essence of the Wealth Gathering Basin."
Su Wen said, "Since there’s danger, we should avoid it as much as possible!"
Yuanbao nodded and said, "Yes! If my divine essence recovers to six or seven, I will have a good chance of awakening the Wealth Gathering Basin."
"Well… can you estimate how much Wealth Source you’ll need to reach six divine essence?"
"One hundred thousand?"
"……"
One hundred thousand Wealth Source!
One trillion Chinese Yuan!
And this is just the very basic requirement; after all, it’s only six divine essence. Once Yuanbao uses divine essence to awaken the Wealth Gathering Basin, he himself also needs to restore Yuanbao in the shortest time possible.
Otherwise, according to what Yuanbao said earlier, it might lead to problems.
If Yuanbao indeed develops according to his personality, knowing that the Wealth Gathering Basin is an exclusive Divine Artifact of the God of Wealth while still keeping things from him, that would pose serious danger.
This matter really could not be rushed.
"Dollars: 40 billion."
"Euros: 50 billion."
Su Wen looked at his foreign exchange balance, deep in thought.
Then, let’s absorb another one hundred billion dollars and one hundred billion euros!
"Buzz!"
As Su Wen focused his thoughts, the balances of dollars and euros both decreased by one hundred billion.
In the next moment, the Wealth Source value began to change.
