Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

"Sorry to keep you waiting. When you contacted me just now, I was still negotiating prices with another apostle."

"My name is Dragon Whale, a 2nd-tier regional manager of the Fallen Temple." The middle-aged man, covered in blood, with demon horns on his head and smelling of sulfur, introduced himself and extended his hand.

Chu Danqing naturally extended her hand to shake hands with the other party and introduced herself.

He also had an impression of the Fallen Temple, a place that used the bloodlines of two races, demons and devils, as its recruitment criteria.

Race is race, and bloodline is bloodline; the two should not be confused.

Like a demon, it is a race.

But among demons there are also spider demons, six-armed snake demons, and so on; this is what bloodlines are.

“The race in my four-piece set is Typhoon, which probably doesn’t meet your requirements,” Chu Danqing said.

It's true that Tifflin is associated with hell, but it's not a demon or devil.

“It can be refined and purified. Furthermore, a complete set of brilliant-level races, bloodlines, professions, and inheritances is very rare,” the dragon whale said with a smile.

The other party looked terrifying, but there was no bloodlust or rage in their communication.

"Would you mind if I took another look at the items first?" the dragon whale requested.

I did see it once through a broker before, but seeing is believing.

This isn't some 300-500 Paradise Points game; it involves the Brilliant level, so being cautious is always a good idea.

Chu Danqing naturally wouldn't refuse and directly showed it to the other party for inspection.

After reviewing the document, the other party nodded: "Take a look at the quote, what do you think?"

As he spoke, the other party took out eight skills.

The first six are a set, and they are of the superior grade.

The last two are also a set, but they are of the dazzling level.

It should be noted that the previous deal stipulated eight Brilliant-level skills, but the other party gave six Excellent-level skills, which is definitely not in accordance with the rules.

"I'm very satisfied with the skill effect, so what's next?" Chu Danqing asked immediately.

He needs an explanation from the other party.

Otherwise, it would be wishful thinking to think you can exchange this little bit of stuff for his four-piece set.

“Our Fallen Temple isn’t exactly a top-tier power, so it’s really troublesome to assemble a set of Brilliant-level skills for you that meets the requirements.”

"So we prepared something else as a supplement and alternative." Of course, the dragon whale couldn't possibly be so whimsical as to think that if they couldn't collect it, they would have to use an excellent-grade item to force a sale.

So he showed Chu Danqing a consumable item.

[Legacy of the Abyss Demon God x6]

[Type: props]

【Quality: Brilliant】

[Effect: Upgrades skills below the Brilliant level to the Brilliant level and reaches the MAX level]

"The subsequent effects are compensation," the dragon whale said.

But Chu Danqing shook his head and said, "I have improved the quality of my skills, and more than once."

"If the initial quality is Brilliant, then I can upgrade it to the next quality."

"But what you gave me is only the Excellent level. Even if it is upgraded, the upper limit will become the Brilliant level."

“I can use the Paradise Points to upgrade my skills myself, but once I use up my potential, it’s gone,” Chu Danqing said immediately.

This thing is definitely not as powerful as the skill quality enhancement scrolls in the War Shop.

“Yes, once you reach level 3, find a skill fusion item to combine all six skills into one, and you can reset the quality upgrade privileges,” the Dragon Whale continued.

But Chu Danqing did not answer, and her attitude was very clear: on what grounds?
No matter how you look at it, Chu Danqing still loses out on one quality.

He does have many skills that cannot be improved due to insufficient resources, but that doesn't mean Chu Danqing won't have opportunities in the future.

Having no potential and having no resources are two different things.

Chu Danqing wouldn't pay much attention to things that weren't his.

But what is rightfully his, Chu Danqing will naturally not give up.

This left the dragon whale slightly embarrassed.

The broker standing nearby also spoke up, saying, "It is indeed your Fallen God Temple's fault, but since things have come to this, either offer satisfactory compensation or collect the materials within half an hour, otherwise I will have to find someone else."

"It's not that only your Fallen Temple can afford it, it's just that the target customer is suitable for you."

The broker naturally sided with Chu Danqing; he too had been tricked.

As for being afraid of offending powerful forces? That's a joke.

Therefore, he would never help the Fallen Temple; he would only help his own guests, not to mention that this was originally the other party's problem.

Dragon Whale glanced at the broker and immediately said, "I'll go change it and get it to you within half an hour."

“Okay.” After the broker finished speaking, he added, “I will mark the Fallen Temple’s credit record online. Secondly, you must compensate my client with 10,000 Paradise Points.”

"Furthermore, after half an hour, an additional late fee of one thousand yuan will be charged for every ten minutes of delay."

"You can refuse to pay and cancel the transaction, but I will further clarify the issues with the credibility of your Fallen Temple."

“If you agree, I will have the amusement park notarized,” the broker continued.

Chu Danqing had been waiting for him here for half an hour; being a few minutes late wasn't a big deal.

But if you deliberately manipulated the transaction, then waiting another half hour falls under your responsibility. It's impossible to say that Chu Danqing should bear the consequences of your mistake.

Rest time in the park is also a valuable resource for dimensional apostles, and they won't let you waste it.

Dragon Whale's heart sank; the matter of credit investigation could be a big deal or a small one.

If your credit history is too poor, the broker will refuse to provide you with services.

Moreover, when they come across something good to sell, brokers will definitely prioritize trading with people or organizations that don't have credit issues.

“Okay, this time it was my fault for not thinking things through properly, it has nothing to do with the Fallen God Temple.” The Dragon Whale immediately took the blame upon himself.

However, the broker didn't believe the other party's explanation: "I'm doing this transaction with a representative from the Fallen Temple region. You can put it on your tab, but I'll cancel this transaction."

The reason is simple; it involves another rule.

When trading with powerful forces, the intermediary fee is paid by those forces.

If you say it's unrelated now, then the transaction definitely can't continue; otherwise, Chu Danqing will have to pay.

As a result, the Fallen Temple benefited, which broke the rules.

“Dragon Whale, I know you’ve just taken office as regional manager, but you must remember, this is paradise, not a trial world.”

"Fair trade is the business principle of the park; don't bring your methods from the Trial World here." During this time, the broker searched for information online.

I finally understand why Dragon Whale is behaving this way; it turns out he just became a regional manager.

As for why I was late, it was because I applied the logic from the trial world during the last transaction, which led to some disputes.

Otherwise, a seasoned regional manager wouldn't have these problems.

Dimensional Apostles spend relatively little time in Paradise, so their style is more like that of the Trial World, characterized by decisiveness, cunning, and so on.

Brokers and other apostles are there to help dimensional apostles make better use of the conveniences of Paradise, rather than to waste their energy scheming and plotting.

Dragon Whale's behavior is a waste of Chu Danqing's time and resources.

That's why he made his request so bluntly.

Dragon Whale's expression wasn't very pleasant. He wanted to refuse, but in the end he nodded: "Okay, let's notarize it."

With things having come to this point, Dragon Whale had no choice but to agree.

Rejection is not a good thing.

After saying that, he left.

"Can it be done in half an hour?" Chu Danqing asked curiously.

“If it can be handled, we can find other brokers to help,” the broker said, “provided he can think of it.”

The broker naturally wouldn't choose to remind the other party.

The other party gave me a very bad impression. As a broker who makes a living by networking, he rarely marks a person or a certain force with credit issues.

“Dimensional apostles rarely choose to act as regional managers, because this represents a gradual transition from dimensional apostle to life apostle.”

“So, he has no potential left,” the broker said. “Don’t worry about him, he’s just a nobody.”

"Moreover, he is not the only second-tier regional manager of the Fallen God Temple."

“Other regional managers will be willing to take responsibility for his mistakes.”

“Just because he says he has nothing to do with the Fallen God Temple doesn’t mean he has nothing to do with it,” the broker explained.

Now that he has become a regional manager, it means that his every word and action represents the behavior of the Fallen Temple.

When the Dragon Whale is unable to cover the losses, only the Fallen Temple can step in.

As for what punishment the dragon whale will receive, that's an internal matter of the Fallen God Temple and has nothing to do with outsiders.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing realized there were indeed many twists and turns involved, but he just listened for amusement.

The Paradise does not force all apostles to band together or form factions.

Even lone wolves have their own space to survive. In fact, Chu Danqing doesn't need many of the facilities and conveniences in the park.

Moreover, many rules don't apply to Chu Danqing.

So even if you understand it, it's not very useful.

He spent more time with the indigenous people than with the apostles.

It's like selling things at a stall in the past; now, for convenience, people just find a middleman.

It wasn't just because he became richer after becoming stronger, but because he was able to obtain resources that better suited his needs in a shorter time.

"Alright, I'll wait then."

"A thousand Paradise Points in ten minutes after the timeout? This is the first time I've earned Paradise Points so easily," Chu Danqing said with a smile.

"For these forces, it's just a drop in the ocean," the broker said. "Their daily cash flow, even if it's only at the second tier, is astonishing."

"Even if it's just a one-day delay, they don't even blink at the late fees." The broker was quite knowledgeable about powerful figures.

The late fees he charged were based on an assessment that met certain standards; they weren't arbitrary.

"A powerful force, that's normal." Chu Danqing wasn't surprised. He wasn't so arrogant as to think that he could compare to a powerful force on his own.

However, since large forces have many members, the average number becomes quite small.

Not to mention that the faction itself is a pyramid structure. The faction itself has huge interests, but that does not mean that the lower-level members can obtain a lot of resources. Ultimately, the members' own abilities are the only factor in obtaining resources.
