[Spirit Coins - 320 million, obtained 20,000 units of Five-Star Locke Metal.]
After the transaction was successful, Little Golden Tooth finally relaxed.
This was the largest transaction of his life. He had never imagined that he would one day be able to transact such a large amount of Spirit Coins.
This single deal alone earned him as many Spirit Coins as he used to earn in several years.
Little Golden Tooth said to Zhou Yan, "If you need anything in the future, just call me."
Although he couldn't see any of Zhou Yan's information, Little Golden Tooth still asked, "Is it convenient to tell me your name? So I can address you properly."
"Just call me Li Xiaolong, you can call me Brother Long."
Zhou Yan smiled. Different worlds meant different names; he needed to figure out what name to use next.
"Alright, Brother Long."
Little Golden Tooth quickly responded. Whether it was true or not, as long as they had business, it was fine. It was just a name anyway.
"You seem decent, kid. Help me see if you have Five-Star Platinum Alloy Metal, Six-Star Terra Stone, Seven-Star Quantum Metal..."
Zhou Yan listed dozens of rare metal materials, making Little Golden Tooth's eyes widen in surprise.
Then he asked, "We have some of these, but some will require a good search. How much do you need..."
"The more, the better. No limit on quantity. Including the Locke Metal from before, if you can collect it, gather as much as you can. Just contact me then."
Zhou Yan replied.
Little Golden Tooth was more and more amazed and shocked the more he heard.
He wasn't just dealing with a wealthy patron; he was dealing with a god-tier tycoon.
If he could maintain a good cooperative relationship with this Brother Long, he would never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
Even if he was asked to kneel and call him dad right now, he wouldn't hesitate.
This was Little Golden Tooth's benefactor.
Little Golden Tooth knew this was a golden opportunity. He solemnly said to Zhou Yan, "Brother Long, don't worry, I guarantee I will collect enough materials for you at the lowest price. I will absolutely not let you suffer any losses."
He would toil outside the trading market all day and wouldn't earn much Spirit Coins.
Now, he just needed to properly handle the matters entrusted to him by Brother Long and he could earn a lot of Spirit Coins. He was a smart person and knew how to choose.
"Then let's start discussing the prices of these items."
Having a local contact on [Moon Star] made many things much simpler.
He just needed to send his required items to him, negotiate prices, and the rest would be taken care of.
The two began to discuss prices for various items. Zhou Yan also gave him opportunities to earn money, as he couldn't let him work for free. Since the quantity he needed was very large, Little Golden Tooth was indeed very sincere this time and didn't haggle much on the prices.
After finishing his business here, he bought many more rare metals from Little Golden Tooth. Little Golden Tooth even took him to other lord's shops to buy materials.
Because Zhou Yan needed such a large quantity, Little Golden Tooth couldn't handle it all himself. Since they were in a long-term partnership, as long as they collected a certain amount of materials, Zhou Yan could come and trade.
Moreover, even if he hadn't brought Zhou Yan, he would have returned himself.
Since that was the case, why not do a good deed?
This way, he could also gain the gratitude of other lords, and they wouldn't refuse his help in the future.
Since Zhou Yan had come here, he would definitely buy all his funds before leaving. He couldn't come all this way for nothing.
When these lord merchants heard that he needed so many materials, they were all surprised. Their inventory was much larger than Little Golden Tooth's, and they didn't need to procure materials temporarily.
These lords also added him as a friend and treated him as a VIP, offering very favorable prices, the same as what Little Golden Tooth sold him.
Even so, Zhou Yan bought all their inventory.
Seeing that Zhou Yan, so young, possessed such substantial financial resources, they were very curious about his background.
Unfortunately, he had hidden all his information, so they had no idea who he was.
With their shrewdness, they had already guessed that "Li Xiaolong" was just a name he made up.
They understood this unspoken truth and didn't dwell on it. They just needed to maintain a good cooperative relationship.
After purchasing billions of worth of materials, these lords watched Zhou Yan leave the trading market.
They were naturally very grateful to Little Golden Tooth and gave him many benefits. They also began to discuss pooling their resources to collect the materials Zhou Yan needed.
Their funds were also limited, and it was impossible to acquire all the materials on the entire [Moon Star]. If they didn't plan properly, they would drive up the prices too much.
They began to plan carefully.
...
Meanwhile, Zhou Yan, after purchasing billions worth of materials urgently needed on [Pegasus Star], did not choose to teleport back immediately.
Because Little Micro had informed him that she had discovered an item that had just been listed in one of the worlds, and it was very good, suggesting he go purchase it.
That item was called the "Phantom God Mask," which could arbitrarily change his appearance. This would be very convenient for him when traveling between different trading worlds.
"What's that world called? Take me there quickly."
As soon as Zhou Yan heard about the mask's function, he felt it was very useful.
"That world is called [Phantom Realm · Trading Market], and I also found out that their world is very short on Phantom Spirit Stones. Moreover, that world is not a lord's world, but a phantom power world."
Little Micro said.
Zhou Yan was surprised and asked, "Do not all worlds in the Myriad Realms awaken the Heart of the Lord?"
"Every world is different. Only some worlds have the Heart of the Lord. In their worlds, they also have other powerful methods and are not restricted to awakening the Heart of the Lord."
Little Micro replied.
"Then are their trading markets also illusory?"
Zhou Yan was very curious.
"As long as it's a world that can be teleported to, their trading markets are the same. It's just that each trading market will change according to the race, region, environment, and types of cultivation."
Little Micro replied.
This surprised Zhou Yan. He really wanted to visit those worlds.
However, Little Micro said that he could only teleport to the trading market, and he couldn't go anywhere else.
She didn't have the ability to teleport him there.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. I'll buy the Phantom God Mask first."
"Okay, I'll send you the information for that mask..."
After collecting all the information on the Phantom God Mask, he asked Little Micro to teleport him to the [Phantom Realm].
Little Micro replied, "Spirit Coins - 8,000, beginning teleportation..."
"Teleportation to [Phantom Realm · Trading Market] successful!"
