Chapter 1023: Chapter 236: Nakada’s Shock

Regarding the strength of the territory, Lin Rui might be dissatisfied, but others see it completely differently.

Especially in the eyes of Nakada, who had just parted ways three days ago, the strength of the Golden Pansy Domain has become terrifyingly powerful.

Three days ago, the army of this territory was indeed powerful, but it was evident that there was a ceiling to its strength. In the eyes of the Golden Treasure Hall, it was simply a force with good luck, as the strength of the merchant guild was on par with them.

If both sides were to fight to the bitter end, and if the Golden Treasure Hall deployed enough resources, it might not be impossible to eradicate this force.

But when seeing this force again three days later, it had become so powerful that it was out of reach for others!

Nakada simply couldn’t discern where the ceiling of this force actually was.

It felt like everywhere in the territory was filled with Legendary Soldiers, Legendary Artisans, and Legendary Heroes!

Could a Plane War really elevate the strength of a force to such an extent? Even a Plane Ranking Trial wouldn’t have such an effect, would it?

So when Lin Rui’s teasing of Nakada received no response, Nakada immediately tactfully changed the subject, saying: "Back to the main business, Lord Lin Rui, your suspicion of us is underestimating us. In fact, our guild gathered the materials you needed right after you left."

Lin Rui nodded and said: "I still trust your fair trait. What price did you prepare this time?"

Nakada’s face was filled with a smug smile as he said: "Lord Lin Rui, these past few days I have finally completely taken control of the treasury of the Golden Treasure Hall. The abundance of materials within the treasury exceeded my initial expectations. As long as you offer a Divine Core Fragment, I guarantee the price will definitely satisfy you!"

Before his words were finished, Nakada’s eyes widened so much that his eyeballs were about to fall out!

With the holy golden light shining, Nakada’s voice suddenly rose by eighty degrees: "Another Divine Core Fragment!!??"

Before the smugness on Nakada’s face even dissipated, he thought Lin Rui couldn’t possibly bring out another Divine Core Fragment, which is why he emphasized this matter to demonstrate the importance of the Golden Treasure Hall to the Golden Pansy Domain.

The things I need you might not necessarily have, and what you want I have in abundance.

So who needs whom more, it’s evident. When negotiating, one can have the upper hand.

But he never expected that Lin Rui would raise his hand and reveal another Divine Core Fragment!

He was shocked into losing the ability to think, almost petrified on the spot.

What’s happening?

Is the Divine Core Fragment being wholesale from your house?

In just a few days, a Divine Core Fragment that was rare for a hundred years, Lin Rui has already sold three!

Three! Three Divine Core Fragments!

Are you selling this like cabbages?

You have so many Divine Core Fragments, why don’t you ascend to godhood yourself?

Nakada was so shocked that he couldn’t control himself: "Lord Lin Rui, exactly how many Divine Core Fragments do you have?"

Lin Rui calmly watched him, and he immediately realized he had asked a very foolish question, promptly following up: "No, no, what I mean is, you’ve already sold us this many, won’t it hinder your plan for godhood?"

The next moment, the brilliant golden light nearly blinded his eyes!

A splendid and radiant Divine Core Fragment appeared in Lin Rui’s other hand.

In an instant, Nakada felt his breathing become uneven, and the blood in his chest nearly stopped circulating.

Five Divine Core Fragments!

He had never seen so many at one time.

This is enough to create the mighty power of a Divine Spirit.

He stuttered and stumbled, saying: "Lin... Lin Rui, are you selling all of these?"

Lin Rui casually collected the five Divine Core Fragments in his left hand, smilingly said: "Let’s see the price you offer."

Price?

Nakada was completely frantic, willing to pay any price to acquire these five Divine Core Fragments!

Moreover, he didn’t doubt Lin Rui’s words; the display of five Divine Core Fragments was enough to indicate he had a guarantee for godhood, who knows how many more he hadn’t shown?

If Lin Rui now said he wanted to sell ten, Nakada would have no doubt!

In the face of the temptation of godhood, all mundane wealth is not worth saving.

Things obtained too easily are often not cherished, and when so much wealth from the Golden Treasure Hall suddenly fell into Nakada’s lap, it was like winning a huge lottery, easy to squander and waste.

So as long as Lin Rui was willing to sell him Divine Core Fragments, ensuring he could have a path to godhood, he would sacrifice anything.

Lin Rui smiled as he scrutinized Nakada, even though his height, even when minimized, was still taller than Lin Rui, yet Lin Rui felt like he was looking down on him.

In this world, it’s all about finding the demand, then everything falls into place!

Nakada’s desire to ascend to godhood was exposed too early, known by Lin Rui even before agreeing to trade.

Thus, your most lethal threat is always from those who know you well.

An outsider, no matter how powerful, cannot completely suppress you, but someone familiar with your personality and aspirations can easily control you.

Lin Rui’s greatest advantage is his enough indifference, you could even say enough to lie flat.

He has no particularly ambitious aspirations nor urgent needs.

The only potentially indispensable thing is perhaps women.

But he is quite loyal, only liking young ladies with slim waists and long legs!
