Plunder the Heavens from American Comics

Chapter 187 Negotiation
"Evil god?" Jonathan looked at Gail in confusion.

Gale nodded and continued, "This is an evil god that our guild hunted down."

"Although the review is broken, it should be a good choice as an alchemical material."

Gail continued to review the one in front of the salesperson.

"As far as I know, evil gods are all contaminated in some way. Are you sure this god core is safe?"

Jonathan had little contact with these mysterious things along the way.

It's natural to have some doubts.

Hearing this, Gale looked a little embarrassed.

He also didn't expect Jonathan to know so much.

After thinking for a while, Gail pulled the box back.

After receiving it in the space ring, he took out another box from it.

"What is it this time?" Jonathan asked.

Obviously this Gale is not an honest man.

Gail didn't say anything, but opened the lid directly.

Even Jonathan, who had never learned magic, felt a strong breath of life at this moment.

"The seed of the world tree." After Gale said the name of the object, he kept silent.

This thing, although it looks high-end, is actually useless unless you own a ruined world with a withered world tree.

Otherwise, in any world with complete rules, this seed will never germinate.

Of course, Gail was taking a gamble; he didn't believe Jonathan knew the value of every item.

At this moment, Jonathan's eyes lit up after feeling this rich breath of life.

Although I'm not sure if it's useful, the fact that it makes people feel like spring breeze is worth studying.

Thinking of this, Jonathan reached out and closed the lid of the box.

Then he said to Gale, "Do you have any basic teaching materials on magic?"

Faced with Jonathan's out-of-the-ordinary question, Gail was stunned for a while, then looked at Jonathan with some suspicion.

What does he want this kind of thing for?

Could it be that he came from a world without magic?
Then what about the space bracelet on his hand?

"Sir, may I ask you a question?" Gail asked instead of answering Jonathan.

Jonathan looked at Gail and couldn't help but complain in his heart, "You know it's presumptuous, but you still ask, where is your ability to see?"

But he nodded and said, "You ask."

Hearing this, Gale nodded and continued to ask, "Is the space bracelet on your hand a magical item or a technological item?"

Seeing Gail's serious expression, Jonathan also realized that Gail seemed to care very much about this detail.

He stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

Jonathan did not answer directly, but asked, "Is it important? Isn't it enough to be able to store things?"

But Gail just shook his head and said, "No, it's important, sir."

Gale was beginning to get a little excited at this moment. If it was really as he thought, then the Adventurer's Guild would make a fortune.

The space items on the scientific side have a characteristic that the magic side can never match.

That's replicability.

Every space item on the magic side can be understood as a handmade product, and there is no possibility of mass production.

But the space items on the technology side are different.

Anything related to technology is based on principles and logic.

Unlike the magic side, there are only results, but the principles and processes are too magical to be understood by humans.

Of course, Jonathan's telepathy is temporarily ineffective now, and he is not sure what Gail is thinking.

"Mr. Gale, do you accept gold coins or gold? If I use gold to buy your basic magic books, what is the price?"

Instead of answering Gail's question directly, Jonathan changed the subject.

Seeing that Jonathan was so difficult to deal with, Gail felt uncomfortable, but he was not discouraged.

After all, it's business. That's it.

They haggled back and forth until a price that everyone could accept came out.

"Yes. As for basic magic books, it depends on the level of the world. If it is just a basic low-magic world, about one kilogram of gold can buy a set." Gale nodded and said.

Hearing this, Jonathan nodded. At least he thought the price seemed reasonable.

However, in reality, the price that Gale paid to buy the basic magic book in the low-magic world would not exceed 10 thumb-sized gold coins at most.

This business is no longer something that can be described as making a huge profit.

Then, Jonathan took out one kilogram of gold from the space ring and placed it on the table.

A gold bar of medium size.

Exactly one kilogram.

But Gale did not take it. Instead, he said, "Sir, you can pay a small deposit first. Our guild currently does not have the goods you want in stock."

"We need to go shopping, so a 20% deposit is all that's needed."

20% of a kilogram is 200 grams. Upon hearing this, Jonathan used telekinesis to cut about one-fifth of the gold on the table.

Throw it in front of Gale.

Gail's pupils shrank at this moment, and he looked at Jonathan deeply, then picked up the gold and weighed it.

"What's your name, sir? I'll ask someone to come over and register your information. In a few days, you can come directly to the guild and pay the remaining balance, and then you can go."

After saying that, Gail handed the gold to the young lady beside him.

"Jonathan." After briefly giving his name.

Jonathan continued, "Let's talk about the commission next."

"I want a guide to take me to Duskwood after the sun goes down."

After that, Jonathan pushed the other 800G gold on the table in front of Gale and asked, "These are the rewards. As for how much you want, just deduct it directly from it."

Hearing this, Gale looked at Jonathan deeply.

cough cough cough.

"Mr. Jonathan, how about we continue to talk about the space bracelet transaction?"

Obviously, Gail is still very interested in Jonathan's space bracelet.

"Let's talk about this later. I have something else to do right now."

"How about it, is this enough?" After saying that, Jonathan stood up and pointed to the gold on the table.

"Uh, that's enough."

Although they are reluctant, the Adventurer's Guild is open for business after all, so they naturally cannot force purchases or sales.

After Gale answered, Jonathan nodded, left a communicator to inform himself, and then left the guild.

Outside the door, Athena was still chewing beef jerky. When she saw Jonathan coming out, she happily went to greet him, and then just stood obediently beside Jonathan.

"Come on, Athena. Take me to where you live." Jonathan stroked Athena's little head.

Hearing this, Athena looked up at Jonathan and nodded her little head, then led Jonathan to the edge of the gathering place.

After a while, the two came to a small hill, which was some distance away from the camp.

In a hidden corner of the hill, there is a small cave.

Jonathan had to bend over to get through.

But after passing through, he discovered that there was a different world here.

Apart from a simple bed and some firewood for heating, there were no other man-made objects in this empty cave.

On the other side of the small area where Athena lives, there is a small pond where you can get water at any time.

There is also a gap on the top, through which sunlight can shine in, so that the cave will not be too dark.

There was a small tree next to the pond, bearing fruits that Jonathan did not recognize.

"How did you find this great place?" Jonathan asked curiously.

"I discovered it by accident, what's wrong?" Athena asked with her head tilted.

"Nothing." Jonathan thought about it and it was true. In such a secret place, there was probably no other possibility except that it was discovered accidentally.

Looking at Athena's simple bed, Jonathan then looked at the height of the cave.

Seeing that the height was sufficient, he took out the portable house he had stored in the space.

As the most convenient thing in the Dragon Ball world.

Jonathan liked it quite a bit.

But in order to make Athena's life easier in the future, Jonathan decided to give her the little house.

Anyway, if you want, you can produce a large number of them at any time in the dimensional world.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Looking at the big house that suddenly appeared, Athena's little mouth opened into an O shape.

"This house is a gift for you. You can live in it from now on. Don't sleep on that straw mat anymore." After saying that, Jonathan looked at Athena's small bedding with a bit of disgust.

"Okay!" Athena nodded happily, then rushed into the house and began to touch and look around.

Then Jonathan made her another dinner.

The ingredients were also taken out from his space bracelet.

As a gathering place for people surviving in the cracks, the supplies here are not particularly abundant.

Although the city was prosperous, Jonathan did not see many good things being traded.

Basically some scrap metal.

Jonathan has also observed that the mainstream food here is mostly black bread and the like.

Regardless of its appearance or hardness, Jonathan didn't want to try this thing.

So when it got dark at night, Athena came outside the house and dug in a corner for a while.

Then he took out half a piece of black bread that could be used as a weapon from the pit and handed it in front of him.

Jonathan immediately told her to keep it for herself and have his food in the evening.

Hearing this, Athena didn't say anything, but just obediently buried the bread again.

I don't know who she learned this habit from.

But Jonathan went with her.

But when he was cooking later, he specifically taught Athena that the fresh ingredients needed to be placed in the refrigerator in the house.

As for the power supply problem, this batch of portable houses produced in the dimensional world are equipped with a new element reactor.

This house will last for at least a hundred years without running out of electricity.

While having dinner in the evening, Jonathan casually asked Athena about her past.

However, Athena's answer made him feel a little strange.

According to her, she has lived in this place for a long, long time.

I forgot how long exactly.

As for what happened before coming to this place, she didn't remember anything at all.

It seemed that she had been living in a daze until Jonathan arrived.

Hearing this, Jonathan touched his chin, and all kinds of speculations emerged in his mind.

But there is insufficient evidence and no definite conclusion.

However, there must be some connection between the Athena in front of me and the Athena in the other dimension.

After eating, Athena lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

After covering her with a quilt, Jonathan knocked on the door, pushed it open, and entered the second dimension world.

Because it was night, Jonathan believed that the Adventurer's Guild would not contact him, so he prepared to go back to the Dimension City to ask Athena.

See if she knows something.

As usual, Athena was eating ice cream at the same place.

It seems that Athena has a special liking for this kind of food.

It's simply delicious.

Seeing this, Jonathan walked over and took two ice creams from Athena's special ice cream truck nearby.

He ate one himself and put the other one in the space bracelet.

Then he came to the bench where Athena was sitting and sat next to her.

Seeing Jonathan coming over, Athena just glanced at him and then continued to lick the ice cream in her hand.

Jonathan turned his head and looked at her pink little tongue, which was moving again and again, as if she was scraping the ice cream.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a greedy little cat.

"Athena, do you know someone who looks exactly like you?" Jonathan turned around, licked the ice cream in his hand, and asked.

After hearing this question, Athena suddenly stopped and stopped licking the ice cream in her hand.

She turned to look at Jonathan and asked seriously, "You met someone like me so soon?"

Looking at her serious expression, Jonathan nodded in affirmation.

"I didn't expect it to be so fast. It seems that the void's erosion of the worlds is much faster than I thought."

Athena said with a sigh.

"What?" Jonathan didn't understand.

After hearing Jonathan's question, Athena began to explain to him what the other Athena was like.

"Every world has a world consciousness. The specific form of this consciousness varies. It could be an elf, a human, a vampire, or a werewolf."

"Or a robot?" Jonathan added, looking at Athena.

Hearing this, Athena paused, then nodded and said, "Yes, it could be a robot, just like me."

"Wait! Don't interrupt me! Let me finish what I'm saying! It's so annoying!" Athena looked at Jonathan belatedly, her fists clenched tightly.

Those little canine teeth look fierce and aggressive.

"Okay, go on. I won't interrupt you." Jonathan touched Athena's head.

Although my Athena is not as well-behaved as the other one, it is still just as cute.
