World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 1553 - 386: Big Business (Part 2)

Zhang Xiaoman hadn’t forgotten that he still had a bunch of undead little brothers here.

They were several dozen giant dragons.

Earlier, because of the limited space on the Lessentara, he couldn’t bring them along.

Now that he had contacted the transportation company, he could bring these giant dragons as well.

After all, they are seventh or eighth-tier undead giant dragons. Although there are only thirty or forty of them, their combined power is not inferior to those of the Undead Clan.

The reason Zhang Xiaoman planned to take Ifei with him, besides wanting to give her this opportunity, was also because he would need a manager on the Dark Star Alliance side. So he thought it might be better to bring this girl along for some training.

However, what still troubled him was how to enhance Ifei’s strength.

For those undead, if Zhang Xiaoman wanted to increase their power, he could directly refine them using the Power of Death, quickly transforming them into true Dark Spiritual Power.

But Ifei couldn’t do that. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The girl was currently cultivating Elemental Power, which was a level lower compared to Dark Spiritual Power.

And since Ifei already has Elemental Power in her body, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t use the Enlightenment Array to help her awaken directly.

Nor could he use the Power of the Undead to enhance her, as that would turn her from a living person into one of the undead.

So, enhancing her strength was going to be difficult.

After all, she would be operating in the Dark Star Alliance in the future. How could she manage without Dark Spiritual Power?

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoman found a method within the Dark Spirit Association to remove low-level energy.

He planned to use this method to first strip Ifei of her Elemental Power, turning her into an ordinary person.

Then he would use his Enlightenment Array to help her awaken and start her cultivation anew.

As he had previously told Ifei, this would erase all the struggles she had gone through, and everything would have to start from scratch.

However, there was a benefit.

After awakening through the Enlightenment Array, Ifei should have a stronger talent for communicating with the Dark Spirit Series than the average person.

In the short term, it might seem like losing significant magic power, which was indeed a pity.

But from a long-term perspective, it was undoubtedly a huge opportunity for the girl, opening up a broader future for her.

After handling the affairs on the Erin Continent, Zhang Xiaoman led the undead, including the three giant dragons Elcurus, and headed to the Pique Star Pattern Hall in the trading center.

Now, after a month’s learning, the three undead giant dragons had basically mastered a transformation technique, allowing them to shrink their bodies into human forms. Thus, they no longer had to lumber around in huge bodies, which was rather inconvenient.

This transformation technique was somewhat similar to the shape-shifting methods of Monsters.

But since the three dragons were beginners, their mastery was still very rudimentary.

Their human forms were not only overly large, reaching over three meters, but they also boasted dragon heads.

They looked fierce, as if they had "I’m the villain" written all over their faces.

"Brothers, what are you...?"

Pete, the yellow-haired Star Pattern Master, felt panic facing nearly 300 burly men barricading the door.

"Brothers, isn’t there some kind of misunderstanding? Let’s talk this over. Don’t resort to violence... Oh no, my door frame! Why are you dismantling our mine’s door frame? Please don’t go overboard. I’m warning you, if you keep this up, I’ll have to call the guards!"

The tiny Star Pattern Hall was filled with people, and due to the towering stature of Elcurus and the others, they accidentally knocked off half of the door frame while squeezing through, making Pete stomp his feet in anxiety.

"Don’t worry, Boss Pete, these are all my people. I brought them over to have star patterns imprinted. I don’t know if you can handle so many people?"

Zhang Xiaoman arrived late and was dumbfounded by the scene before him.

He hadn’t expected that while he was busy with some Star Dust business, his underlings almost tore the place apart.

Upon seeing this familiar face, Pete first sighed in relief, then his expression changed, his eyes widening in disbelief as he said:

"Bro...brother, are you saying all of these people are here to have star patterns imprinted?"

"Oh? Can’t handle it? If not, I’ll have to ask elsewhere."

Pete immediately rushed over, his expression instantly transforming into a beaming smile as he said joyfully:

"How could I not handle it? Even if there were a few more hundred, they’d still be welcome here! Brother, I knew meeting you was fate. Come, let’s talk about this on my planet. The teleportation fee for all these brothers is on me!"

Soon, intense blue light filled the narrow Star Pattern Hall, and the crowd majestically passed through the Teleportation Array, arriving at Pique.

"Brother, these people you brought, are they all without the star pattern imprint?"

Pete still found it unbelievable.

All these Dark Spirit practitioners before him gave off an impressive aura of power.

But how could not one of them have a star pattern imprint? It was quite unexpected.

However, Pete was a man who knew his bounds.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoman merely nod in confirmation without further explanation, he wisely kept silent.

He counted the number of people—290 altogether.

Even if they just imprinted the first star pattern, he was going to make a considerable sum.

"Rest assured, Brother. Since you’re giving me such good business, I won’t be stingy. I’ll offer half-price to all the brothers here, as a gesture of friendship!"

Pete had a clear strategy.

His sharp eyes instantly saw that these people were not to be underestimated.

Even though he couldn’t understand why so many powerful dark spirit practitioners lacked star pattern imprints.

But he realized, imprinting the first star pattern could mean future business opportunities for second star pattern needs with these people.

Thus, offering a generous discount now was a strategic move to earn much more down the line.

Zhang Xiaoman nodded, the discount naturally expected. It was a deal too good to refuse.

However, preparing for nearly 300 people’s projects required time.

Before that, Zhang Xiaoman also intended to have his own second star pattern imprinted.

Compared to the first star pattern, the second is more intricate.

It costs more, takes more time, and requires rarer materials.

Fortunately, being a seasoned Star Pattern Master on Skull Star, Pique’s planet was planted with materials specifically for star pattern imprints.

Even those missing could be quickly procured from the market.

Material-wise, there was no need to worry.

After about an hour of waiting, Pique returned from procuring the remaining materials.

However, upon his return, he wore a slightly awkward expression as he said:

"Uh...sorry, Brother. I managed to find almost everything, but I’m short just one jar of Elf Powder..."

"This powder is considered second-level material, and it’s been particularly scarce on the market these past few days, to the point of selling out completely..."

Zhang Xiaoman frowned slightly.

"Sold out? How long before we can get some?"

Pique scratched his head and said:

"Elf Powder typically comes from a special environment, formed by the interaction of Micro Light and Spiritual Energy. When it appears, it generates in large quantities, so it’s not usually expensive."

"It’s just that recently, the corresponding phenomena have been rare in this area, so the mercenaries haven’t been able to gather any, leading to the current shortage..."

"I heard that if we want to transfer some from the nearest warehouse, it could take two months, as there’s demand elsewhere, and we won’t have priority supply..."
