I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 584 - 426: Human Earns a Thousand, You Earn Twelve Thousand?_2

Chapter 584: Chapter 426: Human Earns a Thousand, You Earn Twelve Thousand?_2

He was even a little nervous, first wiggling his butt, which made the Maid chuckle and roll her eyes—what was that supposed to mean? She couldn’t figure it out.

Then he gestured towards “Farmer No.1,” and the Maid chuckled again and rolled her eyes on the sly—I knew you created that insect long ago.

Finally, with no other option, he quietly pulled out a pale blue glass bottle from his embrace, a perfume that lures the opposite sex, something Lu Yuan would never give her. Inside, it contained a potion for beauty nourishment, also made from a certain type of mushroom.

The lady chuckled happily and quietly approached, grabbing Lu Yuan’s hand.

This must be the so-called “absence makes the heart grow fonder,” as the mere sight of each other brought genuine joy.

[What’s the deal, with so many people watching? Giving gifts directly?] The Conch communicated via telepathy, yet a smile couldn’t help but spread across her face.

...

Today she was dressed in Green Grass Civilization’s ceremonial attire, a bit like a dress, with her jet-black hair cascading over her shoulders like a waterfall.

She even specially applied earthy eye makeup and natural color lipstick, less playful and more dignified.

[There’s nothing wrong with giving gifts to a Maid!] Lu Yuan apparently had a lot to say, but when it came down to it, he didn’t know where to start.

Compared to their reunion, everything else seemed trivial.

He simply held the girl’s hand gently, savoring the happiness that belonged to him alone.

[So, what are you thinking about right now?]

[Your master’s mind is full of naughty thoughts, what should I do? These people are so annoying, I wish they would all go away.] Lu Yuan spoke the truth, [I’m about to have a mental breakdown.]

The Conch almost laughed out loud, retorting: [You useless fellow… then call me your master! I want to be a Princess now, not a Maid.]

[As long as you’re willing to be the slave of a Princess, I’ll elope with you right now.]

Lu Yuan was not that foolish: [Oh boy, haven’t seen the Maid in a few days, and now she wants to overthrow the monarchy… I remember there was a foolish Emperor who was almost strangled by a palace maid, do you think I would make the same mistake?]

[You definitely will, Greedy Demon God~]

Lu Yuan suddenly felt overwhelmed: [I also feel… like I probably would.]

Old Wolf also pounced up, his tongue ceaselessly licking, almost soaking Lu Yuan’s clothes.

Lu Yuan said with a smile, whispering, “Okay, okay, that mushroom that boosts fertility, I’ll share some with you.”

“Woof?!” It licked even more vigorously.

The Little Mirage Dragon was also swimming about, showing off its growth.

It’s now a Level 5 creature—truly worthy of being an Anomaly with such speed.

After a while, Old Cat came running over in a flash, leaping onto Lu Yuan’s shoulder: “Getting so many mushrooms from the trade, the Underground Alliance really is wealthy.”

“Six hundred have already been traded, and four hundred more they’re willing to trade on this visit… plus subsequent deals… they really are loaded!”

Soldiers kept moving the haul into the warehouse non-stop.

The logistics officers were dazzled by the sight, suddenly gaining a decade’s worth of wealth. They were all beaming, so excited their hearts could jump out of their throats.

“Isn’t that the truth? We should treat these rich dogs well, letting them learn a bit doesn’t hurt.”

“It’s easy to make enemies, but hard to make friends…” Lu Yuan said, shaking his head and wagging his tail.

Old Cat lowered his voice: “Comrade, how much did you embezzle? Give me an idea, in case a real crisis arises, it would be good to have an assessment of our fighting strength.”

Lu Yuan put on a constipated expression: “Brother, with everyone watching, how could I embezzle? I didn’t even take part in the negotiations… It was the Humans who settled this business themselves, tell me how could I embezzle?”

Old Cat’s eyes gleamed: “Can’t even trust a comrade now? You really didn’t pull any tricks? I don’t believe it.”

Lu Yuan helplessly: “Cough cough, don’t tell anyone. Greedy Demon God went to the Insect Race’s territory, robbed mushrooms, devoured twelve thousand Spirit Essence.”

Old Cat nearly fell off Lu Yuan’s shoulder, and his fur almost exploded.

Damn it, humans toil and moil for a thousand pieces of loot, and you just multiplied it by twelve!

Are you even human anymore?

Lu Yuan with an expressionless face: I stopped being human a long time ago.

“So how much money do you have in total now?”

“I’ve absorbed more than 12,000 in Spirit Essence, originally just over 3,000, and now I have about 15,000 in reserves. This is my personal stash, don’t you dare snatch it.”

“Besides, I’ve kept nearly 6,000 functional mushrooms, including Ordinary Level, Rare Level, Superior Level, and Legendary Level. All together, probably… 20,000 to 30,000 I guess, hard to assess, haha…” Lu Yuan couldn’t help but feel smug, looking very pleased with himself.

“You know, some mushrooms that can boost virility sell at a huge markup. These are real treasures of the world.”

“There are also those Legendary Level ones that add longevity, they should fetch a good price too…”

“Too bad, got discovered by the Insect Race after pocketing half of it, such a pity…”

Old Cat really flipped out, damn it, your income is how many times more than humans’, and you still think it’s not enough!!

Aren’t you a little too greedy?

And this guy’s luck is really something else; wherever he goes, he finds treasures to pocket.

“Is this called greed? I got this through my own abilities!” Lu Yuan retorted, “Can humans get their hands on it? They just don’t have the skill! And neither do the People of the Underworld, living here for so many years, they’re still trembling in fear, aren’t they?!”

“Oh, right, I also made a Legendary Puppet, so we can start farming mushrooms on a small scale ourselves. This thing is worth two to three thousand.”

“The goods that I can’t use myself, I can launder through the Insect Clan Army and then sell them cheaper to humans… Humans will surely be able to enjoy the benefits, don’t worry…”

Old Cat took a look at “Farmer No.1” — currently being studied by Ratmen.

This issue had already been communicated once via wireless telegraphy; it wasn’t that surprised.

This lifelike Puppet, tied to the Qi Fortune of Green Mountain’s Insect Race, is a member of the Insect Clan Army. If it ended up in human hands, it would lose its purpose.

“Well, your Insect Clan Army is indeed a good front. Fair enough.”

“Don’t put it so harshly, I don’t owe anything to humans, and my hands are clean!”

That is also true, even the most morally upright person can’t really blame him… After all, Lu Yuan’s own expenses are huge, and he always needs some savings.

It then asked: “Didn’t catch the Mother Worm? When will your Insect Clan Army get a boost?”

Lu Yuan shook his head: “The Mother Worm is intelligent and has its own sense of crisis; it’s not that easy to catch.”

“And if things escalate, I also worry they might go berserk and attack human cities. Even the Greedy Demon God, as powerful as it is, can’t withstand the furious assault of a trillion insects.”

He once thought of infiltrating the lowest layer, that is, 200,000 meters deep, to “control” a Mother Worm.

But that damn place is really like a Hive, with so many holes to the extreme and an extremely complicated structure. With 12 Mother Worms spread over a territory as large as Earth, it is really impossible to search.

Even for the human side’s Insect Race, it’s impossible to scout that deep without accidentally dying, and Lu Yuan feels the pain.

Old Cat nodded solemnly: “In that case, let’s wait until we’re about to leave here before we figure out how to catch the Mother Worm.”

“Right, these People of the Underworld, which places are you planning to show them?”

Lu Yuan thought for a while: “It’s a rare friendly race, and they’re also part of the Little Gears Fellowship…”

“Let’s keep the entire Green Mountain a secret from them, as well as the Opium poppy. Other places, like coral island and such, don’t matter, we can show them those, oh, right, that Master of Furnace Wheel, his Forging skills are quite decent, we’ve got the Little Gears Inheritance now, it would be good to let him teach the human craftsmen as well.”

“Got it, I’ll arrange their itinerary.”
