Chapter 1024: Chapter 236: Nakada’s Shock (Part 2)

This leads to the fact that even the women around him cannot become his weakness.

Even if the enemy captures the beauties around Lin Rui, he might get angry, might seek revenge, might bathe his opponents in blood, but he would never surrender everything just for a woman.

Thus, regardless of whether he becomes a god or not, he feels neither particularly happy nor particularly disappointed living this way.

For him, it’s only a matter of time.

Faced with such a calm and detached Lord with a butcher’s knife in hand, Nakada took a deep breath, knowing he was about to be slaughtered.

With a heavy heart, he cautiously asked, "Lord Lin Rui, is there anything you particularly desire?"

Lin Rui replied calmly, "Priority is the Origin Treasure Chest, then Mythical Artifacts, and lastly Territorial Essence. Moreover, this time, I’m only selling one Divine Core Fragment. Of course, Plane Crystal Cores are also acceptable; you can directly state your needs, and I can give you more Divine Core Fragments."

The reason Lin Rui displays so many Divine Core Fragments is like dangling a carrot in front of Nakada; once it bites, there’s no fear it won’t cough up Gold Coins.

Anyway, within the Golden Pansy Domain, Lin Rui truly isn’t afraid that anyone can snatch the Divine Core Fragments from under Wutong’s nose and out of his hand.

If the opponent truly possesses such strength, it doesn’t matter if he hides them or not.

But that doesn’t mean Lin Rui really plans to sell all six Divine Core Fragments to Nakada.

Selling it one more time to it would already be handing it the third Divine Core Fragment.

That almost equates to him single-handedly helping the Golden Treasure Hall create a Divine Spirit.

Although Lin Rui doesn’t care much about the Divine Core Fragments, he doesn’t want to become a laborer for the Golden Treasure Hall.

He merely wishes to trade the Divine Core Fragments for certain resources to expand his power, enhancing his collection speed.

Frankly speaking, if not for Lin Rui’s substantial investment in the early stages, he wouldn’t have achieved the current quick collection pace.

In just a few days, eight pieces were received!

If it were based on his strength from back at the beginning of the Plane War, Lin Rui might need ten times the time to collect the remaining two pieces.

However, now Lin Rui is confident that even after selling one piece to Nakada, he can still collect ten or even fifteen Divine Core Fragments faster to form a Divine Spirit Triangle.

Which means he, Audrey, and Violet upgrade simultaneously, and at that time, their Divine Kingdom Armament, coupled with the Goddess of Fortune’s support, if they can also pull in the Goddess of Fortune’s good friend the Magic Goddess or bring in the Elf Empress, it would form a five-member Divine Spirit Squad.

Regarding the Magic Goddess, Lin Rui doesn’t dare to be certain, as he’s unclear whether the Goddess of Fortune and her are true best friends or just superficial.

As for the Elf Empress, Lin Rui is very confident in pulling her in.

Back then, this woman invested heavily in him, and laid out considerable groundwork, Lin Rui believes she wouldn’t just give up everything.

Perhaps she might still need him to rescue her in the Divine Realm.

After all, although her last operation was astonishing, it also offended countless people, with all races and Divine Spirits on the Colonization Star eager to kill her.

Along with her "husband" Hero King, whom she treated purely as a tool.

Seeing the truth, he might turn love to hatred and have the heart to fight her to death.

While Yunning, in her own little world, reorganized her direct lineage Guard Army and replanted the World Tree Seedling.

One could say, she is now reshaping the situation, starting over, and needs allies to lend her a hand and help her through the early difficulties.

For this purpose, she might be willing to lower herself to serve the counterpart.

Women, or rather, apart from Eastern aloof beauties like Wutong, Western women don’t perceive chastity as something important.

They even consider the female body as one of their advantages and a most beneficial tool.

Of course, this way of thinking is somewhat base.

Cannot deny there are such women, but not every woman is like this.

Simply say that the Elf Empress Yunning acquired the Plane Crystal Core, which is a perfect start, but the situation is also very challenging.

Lin Rui even feels that the Hero King may not have been completely oblivious all along; there might be spies planted by him within the Empress’s Guard Army.

However, this is merely speculation; such scheming may take many years to see results, and Lin Rui’s plan for becoming a god might be already fulfilled by then.

What’s more important now is focusing on strengthening the power before becoming a god.

The Plane Crystal Core is undoubtedly a good direction.

Unfortunately, Nakada was in the dark, asking, "What is the Plane Crystal Core? Do you mean that as long as I find such a thing, I can ask for as many Divine Core Fragments as I want?"

Lin Rui sighed inwardly; it turns out that such things cannot be stumbled upon.

Just recently promoted to the head of the Golden Treasure Hall, Nakada hasn’t even heard of what a Plane Crystal Core is.

Lin Rui could only briefly say, "Precisely, if you find it, you can contact me immediately."

Upon confirmation from Lin Rui, Nakada didn’t have the chance to think deeply, excitedly believing that Lin Rui indeed has more than six Divine Core Fragments!

"What a pity, I don’t have it either, but once I return, I will certainly instruct all branch commerce to pay attention to this item." He then took out an Origin Treasure Chest and said, "Lord Lin Rui, though I don’t have a Plane Crystal Core, I managed to gather an Origin Treasure Chest recently from other branches."

After speaking, Nakada beamed with a smile and asked, "I remember you said you always believed in your luck. If our commerce can furnish an Origin Treasure Chest, you wouldn’t mind taking a slight loss and exchanging with us?"

Lin Rui’s eyes instantaneously sparkled, another Origin Treasure Chest!

If counting this one, Lin Rui already has three Origin Treasure Chests at hand!

Without any hesitation, Lin Rui tossed the Divine Core Fragment to Nakada, then took the Origin Treasure Chest and asked, "What have you extracted from opening the Origin Treasure Chests?"

Nakada sighed, saying, "Don’t mention it, our Golden Treasure Hall has opened over a dozen Origin Treasure Chests, and at most, we’ve gotten some Legendary Weapon belonging to strong figures, occasionally some Demigod-level: Divine Core Fragments, only once did we extract a Semi-Divine Artifact! Compared to the cost of acquiring the Origin Treasure Chest, it’s a huge loss!"

"By the way, Lord Lin Rui, how has your experience been with opening Origin Treasure Chests? Have you given up on the elusive dream of extracting the Glory Crystal?"

Lin Rui vaguely replied, "It’s alright, you always have to keep trying."

He’s now very certain about one thing, that the Goddess of Fortune has a minor ability to influence the Origin Treasure Chest!

It may be hard to affect the Glory Crystal, but other treasures are definitely influenced by the Goddess of Fortune.

Lin Rui barely drew the lowest-grade item, which was a Semi-Divine Artifact.

And mythological materials: Divine Fragment, Lin Rui directly extracted two pieces!

If the Golden Treasure Hall could maintain this extraction rate, they wouldn’t need to go through so much trouble trading with Lin Rui.

However, it might also be that Lin Rui overestimated the Goddess of Fortune, maybe she couldn’t change the results, so she directly stuffed Divine Fragment into the Origin Chest for Lin Rui, urging him to quickly become a god.

Otherwise, the blast fall probability of the mythological material: Divine Fragment seems a bit too high.

And Nakada hadn’t thought much, assuming Lin Rui was like their commerce initially, unwavering and wanting to try several times more.

Remember, their commerce initially attempted over ten treasure chests before eventually being forced to give up.

Human nature is like that; once the loss becomes painful, one will realize reality sooner or later. Anyway, Lin Rui collecting Origin Treasure Chests is beneficial to them now.

Of course, it couldn’t stop him, happily trading a Divine Core Fragment, and Nakada then continued, "Lord Lin Rui, for this transaction with you, we’ve meticulously prepared many goods. Are you interested?"

Lin Rui smilingly said, "What a coincidence, I also happened to prepare quite a few fine items."
