    Chapter 275: Countermeasure Against the Dark River

    “Quick, ask!”

    Su Wen’s eyes lit up as he spoke eagerly.

    The river of time in the main Time and Space had a very different attitude during both times it brought him back.

    This was a good opportunity to see how the river of time in the main Time and Space relates to the river of time in the sub-timelines.

    Is it different areas in the same river, representing different departments?

    Or does it imply another kind of relationship?

    “God of Wealth, the river of time in the main Time and Space has replied. If you want immortality of body, we can grant it here too.”

    Yuan Bao said with a smile, “Moreover, the price here is lower; the sub-timelines are asking for thirty million, but here it’s only twenty-eight million.”

    Su Wen raised an eyebrow. The river of time in the main Time and Space knows the quotation from the sub-timelines?

    And they purposely offered two million less?

    So this is… heating up?

    “See if you can negotiate the price.”

    Su Wen said solemnly, “After all, for a transaction of twenty-eight million, if that’s a fixed price and they are firm on it, then ask if they can throw in something extra.”

    “For example, two portions of immortality of soul, since the importance of immortality of soul and immortality of true spirit is far lower than that of immortality of body, right?”

    “So buying immortality of body and getting two portions of immortality of soul is very reasonable, don’t you think?”

    Yuan Bao nodded, “Alright, God of Wealth, I’ll go negotiate!”

    Previously, when negotiating for sums in the thousands or tens of thousands, he didn’t have the confidence to push for a lower price.

    But this time is different!

    With over twenty million, nearly thirty million in business, it wouldn’t be proper not to get a better deal!

    Of course, most importantly, the two sides’ rivers of time are competing for business, and this is a great opportunity.

    If you won’t lower your price or give me a better deal, I’ll go to the other side!

    There’s only one customer!

    But there are two sellers!

    Now is the time for him to use his negotiating skills.

    A smile appeared on Su Wen’s face as he turned his gaze toward the chaos in the time and space interface.

    While Yuan Bao was negotiating in the main Time and Space, he would go to the sub-timelines and bargain there.

    Before, he and the river of time were mutually monopolizing the business, but now it’s different, the river of time from the main Time and Space is competing for business.

    This means he has become the only monopolist.

    As a monopolist, wouldn’t it be unworthy of his position not to negotiate?

    Finally, in the face of the oppression from the dark river, he has gained some countermeasures.

    After breaking through the ten million financial resources, he, as the God of Wealth, has finally stepped up!

    The God of Wealth Across Time and Space! With the backing of the river of time in the main Time and Space, you stand tall and proud.

    This time, you must fiercely cut the river of time’s determination and prices.

    At the same moment, the river of time also learned this news.

    The river of time in the main Time and Space was very angry about the actions taken and expressed that such behavior of poaching businesses is extremely unethical and undermines market rules and value standards.

    Ignoring the river of time’s condemnation, you directly asked them if they would sell it for twenty-five million.

    The river of time expressed disappointment at your pressured price. The main Time and Space is asking for twenty-eight million, and you directly dropped the price to twenty-five million, which seems inappropriate, right?

    To win over your client, if you are willing to offer twenty-seven million, the river of time would agree to this transaction.

    After all, considering your client’s spending limit, even if immortality of body is already at a discounted price, applying another ten percent discount after that isn’t out of the question.

    After all, the river of time’s focus has always been wholeheartedly serving clients, right?

    Su Wen: “……”

    After the discount, it’s thirty million?

    Are you kidding me?

    Last time it was ten million; this time thirty million—are you giving a thirty-fold discount?

    “God of Wealth, I’ve managed to bring the price down a bit.”

    Yuan Bao excitedly said, “They said we should abandon the transaction with the sub-timelines, and they are willing to lower it by another two million.”

    “Twenty-five million in resources, take the immortality of body!”

    Su Wen’s lips curled up, “Keep going, I think this price can be pushed down even more.”

    Twenty-five million is still a bit pricey!

    In the last timeline, the dark river wanted to sell for ten million, which means they could still make a profit at that price.

    Now, with countermeasures in place, he couldn’t be a fool anymore.

    When monopolies face each other, it is normal for the undeveloped monopoly to be suppressed.

    But when a non-monopoly meets a monopoly, isn’t that just domination?

    No matter your level!

    If you won’t lower the price or give benefits, I won’t buy!

    You can sell to whoever you want; I’m not buying.

    “Alright, I’ll try harder!”

    Yuan Bao declared firmly, clenching his small fist.

    Set a small goal!

    Push him down by another ten million!

    If he gets it to fifteen million in resources, he can actually buy it.

    The funds from the God of Wealth should be enough.

    Immortality of body, hmm… although buying now still seems a bit disadvantageous, the sooner you buy, the sooner you enjoy!

    Most importantly, since the God of Wealth is buying in the main Time and Space, the God of Wealth in the sub-timelines won’t need to buy next time, right?

    “Let’s go!”

    Su Wen smiled, “Counteracting the dark river’s dominance starts right now!”

    The stingy God of Wealth! You once again unleash your stingy instincts and push the price down by five million.

    From thirty million, you first bring it down to twenty-seven million, and the river of time, adhering to its principle of responsibility to clients, agrees.

    However, this time, you go too far and unexpectedly push it down from twenty-seven million to twenty-two million.

    In just a few minutes since the transaction began, you attempt to pay eight million less?

    What were you thinking? How could you say such a thing?

    Clearly, immortality of body is what you need most, and it’s because of the consideration for your future that the river of time is willing to pay a high price to bless you with it.

    Faced with the river of time’s pleas, even a hard-hearted person would waver.

    In this pursuit of fairness and moral standards, your alliance with the river of time in the main Time and Space undermines not just the proper transaction processes but also the benevolence of the river of time toward you.

    Cold-hearted God of Wealth! You face the weak river of time and don’t show a hint of compassion, instead lowering the price by another million.

    Twenty-one million!!!

    Who can afford to buy immortality of body for twenty-one million?

    Although the river of time doesn’t care about a few million in revenue, it still has to uphold a bottom line for its price.

    God of Wealth, you cannot, or at least should not, act this way.

    It’s truly unethical and somewhat goes against the customs of the God of Wealth.

    Disrupting the ancient and modern world, oh God of Wealth! You do not care for the river of time’s soft words, and even feel a bit amused inside.

    If using your face and morals can earn you ten million in resources, then this face, this morality, can be discarded!
