Chapter 283: Setting the Goal
“Let’s start with the goods from Era Region first and see what new things have been added.”
Zhang Mu thought the mission was more important. They decided to start with the goods from Era Region, even though Zhang Mu already knew what it was. They still needed to show it to No. 37 and perform the task completely.
No. 37 didn’t waste time. He raised his deep blue fluffy robe, summoning the familiar and lovely stars.
This time, among the stars that No. 37 treasured, the golden little star was also there. No. 37 said slowly, “Luckily, I had prepared in advance to condense the new-born Spiritual Essence, keeping up with the promotion speed of your Junior Era Sub-merchant. Otherwise, it would have been embarrassing. Normally, at this time point, there is no need to condense new Spiritual Essence. This is completely prepared for you, the odd one out.”
Seeing No. 37 like this, Zhang Mu awkwardly smiled and said, “I don’t know why things are going so smoothly.”
Despite his words, Zhang Mu’s face didn’t show any modesty.
Seeing Zhang Mu like this, No. 37 felt a little overwhelmed. But for someone favored by this testing ground, what could he do with such good luck? He even began to suspect that the current situation felt like this star already knew its crisis was coming and had shifted its luck onto Zhang Mu in advance.
When the destiny of a star concentrates on a small human, what miraculous things can’t he achieve?
Unbelievable to think about it. Such stars do exist, but logically, the current planet called Earth shouldn’t be able to do that. It’s still too young, with only instinctual consciousness. Developing intelligence is still impossible; for a planet to give birth to spiritual awareness is very challenging.
Strange, really strange.
However, No. 37 didn’t think much about it. With a wave of his hand, the magnificent list transformed into a mechanical list from the beautiful Starry Ocean, appearing exaggerated, obviously enhanced by No. 37.
“Luoyang Peony Bud, price 3 gold leaves each, remaining stock 10 units.”
“Yellow River Carp, price 1 gold leaf each, remaining stock 30 units.”
The first two items showed little change. Zhang Mu was most interested in the true prices of the next two familiar Era Region items.
Golden threads crisscrossed, gradually revealing the exclusive goods belonging to the junior Era Sub-merchant.
“Luo River Water, a gift from the heavens to Luo Yang, the water source with the richest spirit qi in the region, price 3 gold leaves each, remaining stock 20 units.”
“Spirit of Luo Yang, the highest state of condensed spiritual energy at this stage, is extremely rare, obtained by further enhancing items from other Era Regions.
Price per unit is 5 gold leaves, remaining inventory is 5 units.”
It is indeed the Luo River Water and the Spirit of Luo Yang. They have not changed in the future, and the prices are reasonable.
However, Zhang Mu knows very well that the same price for Luo River Water and Luoyang Peony Bud is not equally popular in other Era Stores. This is because it was just formed by No. 37 and the Spiritual Essence is condensed but will lose some essence over time.
The earlier the Spiritual Essence is discovered, the shallower it is. The goods from the Era Region with the appearance of Luo River Water have gradually entered the deeper layers.
Deeper layers naturally contain more beauty hidden in this planet.
As mentioned before, the best fortune of this planet is always hidden in its core.
Even a star, even if ignorant, has the most basic self-awareness.
Before the end of the world, it was called the ecological balance of nature.
But after the Elysium era was forcibly opened, it was like a defenseless baby facing a powerful man.
Even if it has no power to fight back, its instinct will make it protect itself. The more others want to obtain something, the more it will hide.
Era Caravan wanted to hide its luck deeper, making it more difficult for Era Store to collect Spiritual Essence, but at the same time, making it more precious.
However, this resistance was futile, as over time, a young star would only be slowly consumed.
Earth, despite having lived through many long ages since its birth, was still considered too young compared to the vast universe, which made it a target for thieves.
Zhang Mu is now frantically recalling the events, as things have deviated from the normal path.
He vividly remembers the birth of the first Junior Era Sub-merchant, which was supposed to happen one year later.
Zhang Mu has jumped ahead to events that were supposed to occur a year later. The prices for goods in the Era Region would definitely not be the same as when he first became a Junior Era Sub-merchant.
When he was promoted to Junior Era Sub-merchant, it was not very difficult the first time, but it took him almost the maximum time limit for subsequent promotions, which was a little over two years.
What he is reflecting on now is the message left by the first merchant back then, which came from another Era City and is somewhat unclear.
Although Zhang Mu has some ideas, he is uncertain because even though his own memories are clear, others are too preoccupied with their own tasks and are amazed at the contrast in promotions between themselves still struggling to complete tasks and others who have already been promoted.
So, he had to analyze by himself.
During that time, if he traveled long distance, the profit of Luo River Water should be higher than Spirit of Luo Yang, usually around fifty to hundred percent.
However, being the peak and intact Spiritual Essence of Luo Yang City now, Spirit of Luo Yang would definitely be favored by other Era Merchants.
Even during Zhang Mu’s worst luck, there was a time when the price of Spirit of Luo Yang doubled, saving him from failing the mission due to time constraints.
In the future, betting on Spirit of Luo Yang would be risky, as it may not be the purest among the Spiritual Essences in major cities unless there is an urgent need for it.
But for now, there’s no need to take any chances!
Every Era Merchant is in urgent need!
Thinking of this, Zhang Mu’s eyes lit up instantly. Even though Luo River Water was safer, it was worth taking a risk for the six-month mission, and he could decide on his destination.
Since there’s no need to consider Luo River Water, there’s no rush to repair his body with Jiangnan’s traditional water source.
His goal: heading north to Inner Mongolia City!
