Chapter 692 - Little Tycoon
GDK 692: Little Tycoon
Donna took Han Shuo to the largest divine weapon shop of the region. The store was divided into five levels. The lowest level sold tools and devices for demigods and basegods. The second level was shelved with divine weapons for lowgods. The third level catered divine weapons to midgods. The fourth level was specially for customers who wished to order custom-made divine weapons. Finally, the fifth level was reserved for the shopkeepers to rest.
Divine weapons for highgods were only on sale in the few largest shops in Elysium. This street did not have shops of that scale that sold divine weapons of such supreme class.
Han Shuo followed Donna into the shop and walked directly to the third level. After browsing through some magnificent armor, staffs, and all kinds of divine weapons, Han Shuo had to admit that compared to all the great masters of Profound Continent, the Elysian were much, much more skilled in smelting tools and weapons.
Not only did the tools have remarkable functions, but they were also extraordinarily designed. The armor would be etched with mysterious patterns and diagrams for boundaries and seals. The divine weapons would usually be embedded with special gemstones that were both functional and beautiful.
Even ignoring their abilities and powers and comparing just their aesthetics, the weapons and devices on display here were several classes superior to those made by the elves of Profound Continent.
All the shopkeepers in the shop recognized Donna. They bowed and greeted her in an unctuous manner as soon as Donna entered their sight.
“Stop looking. We will head straight for the fourth level. You can check these out later after we are done at the fourth level,” Donna hastened when she saw how invested Han Shuo was in every item he saw, taking comprehensive mental notes of everything on display.
“I really must say that these objects are really fine and delicate. They are even more beautiful than those made by the most skilled elves back on my continent!” Han Shuo exclaimed in admiration after moving his gaze away from a glorious sapphire crown.
“The race of elf you mention are also present on Elysium. However, when it comes to arts and smelting, they are nowhere close to the proficiency of the race of Divinesmelter. The elves would usually work as assistants for the Divinesmelters. Those elves on your continent likely had inherited some of the knowledge of smelting from those ancient elves on Elysium. Therefore, it is to be expected that what they produced cannot compare to those of the Divinesmelters,” Donna explained smilingly.
“Not bad at all, you are now a little tycoon! One of the forts of my Lavers Family outside the City of Shadows collects about five hundred black crystal coins in revenue per month. Of those completely new to Elysium, only some midgod and highgod experts could gather three hundred black crystal coins so soon after arriving on this material plane. You as a lowgod should feel proud of this accomplishment!” Donna complimented sincerely. She had previously considered enticing Han Shuo into the Lavers Family using crystal coins, but who knew that Han Shuo would be so resourceful that he made a small fortune soon after he arrived on Elysium. With that, it would be much more difficult to lure him with crystal coins.
“Compared to a big tycoon like yourself, this small amount of coins that I have is beyond trifle,” Han Shuo was modest in his reply.
“Grandpa Domo, we shall stop troubling you. We will go shop around downstairs. Perhaps these crystal coins will be going back to you later!” Donna got up from her seat.
“Haha, go ahead. I won’t be accompanying you as I still need to sort out these goods. Alright, I will give you both a twenty percent discount on all purchases. Happy shopping!”
Han Shuo and Donna traveled three levels down. Then, Han Shuo picked tens of origin crystals which he had wanted to purchase as soon as he walked into the store and saw them. They were precisely the same type of crystal that Han Shuo had previously obtained from the six-horned tribal king of Soul Race in Tarrag Canyon. These were wonderful treasures that would allow demigods to form a Soul of Element and become basegods. Origin crystals, which were incredibly rare treasures on Profound Continent, were only sold for five purple crystal coins in this shop. It was priced so low that Han Shuo simply couldn’t believe it.
“Origin crystals can be found in a lot of energy mines on Elysium, they aren’t particularly precious. Moreover, it’s only useful for a demigod trying to form a Soul of Element. You have long overcome this barrier. What are you buying so many of these for?” Donna asked Han Shuo in a confused manner.
“Of course I don’t need these. But I still have a lot of friends back on Profound Continent who could use these. To them, these origin essences are invaluable treasures that will allow them to make giant leaps! Sigh, because the Elysium is abundant with elemental energies, it has all kinds of wonderful and miraculous goods which the Profound Continent doesn’t have. No wonder you guys call Profound Continent a low-level material plane!” Han Shuo lamented.
“Do you have sweethearts on that continent of yours? Look at your longing appearance now, Hehe!” Donna laughed.
Donna’s words had suddenly reminded Han Shuo of Emily, Fanny, and the others. His heart really was yearning for them and he wondered how they were doing at this moment. He forgot to reply to Donna.
As soon as she saw Han Shuo’s reaction, Donna knew that she had guessed correctly. But unexpectedly, for no apparent reason, seeing Han Shuo’s sad and longing appearance caused an uncomfortable feeling to rise in Donna’s heart. Donna was shocked to discover that subconscious feeling.
What’s wrong with me? I shouldn’t be having these kinds of emotions. I should have long forgotten about what happened while I was hallucinating back there. Why did that come back into my mind so suddenly?
