Dream Travel

Chapter 409 The Reason for its Expensiveness
"I need to get some high-quality soul stones. Can you get any from here?"

"Yes, but it will take time and it won't be cheap."

"How much?" Bai Mu, who is not short of money now, is very extravagant.

With the Silver Pistol in his possession, his wealth will only continue to grow.

However, he didn't intend to make money from this stuff in the long run. If there was a chance to make the prices of things like holy water and holy silver bullets drop to zero, Bai Mu would try to accomplish that.

Who told him to have a grudge against the devil?

Before transmigrating, Bai Mu had no prejudice against demons; at most, he learned about demons from various entertainment works.

I've seen those beautiful and cute demons before, but since coming to this world, they've caused far too much trouble.

There's no need for prejudice; those demons simply don't do human things.

In addition, many demons have their eyes on him. If he doesn't actively deal with the demons, will the demons be even more active in dealing with him in the future?
Just because he doesn't attack doesn't mean the demons will stop attacking him. You're kidding...

"There are all kinds, big and small."

"Then I want the best."

"I'll charge you 6666 million for one unit of soul stones."

"Huh?" Lily's asking price made Bai Mu's eyes widen. If she hadn't mentioned 6, Bai Mu wouldn't have been surprised at all and would have paid directly.

But the number Lily is talking about now, in reality, is 600 million.

"So expensive?"

"Otherwise what? The highest quality soul stones I can get my hands on can theoretically grant someone 'immortality,' so do you still think it's expensive?"

After Lily said that, Bai Mu really didn't think it was expensive.

Can it grant immortality?
He knew the function of the Soul Stone. The immortality that Lily spoke of was nothing more than preserving a person's soul and allowing it to exist in another form for a long time.

While it claims to be immortality, it also adds a theoretical prefix: when the Soul Stone is in good condition, the person whose soul is preserved can live indefinitely.

But the Soul Stone was destroyed, and all immortality was gone.

Furthermore, Bai Mu didn't believe Lily's claim that the Soul Stone could remain indestructible forever. Under the power of time, nothing lasts forever.

But if this thing can extend the life of someone who is about to die by several hundred years, then the price Lily mentioned seems very cheap!
Do I have enough money?

"If you're willing to give me that gun, I can give it to you for free."

"No." Bai Mu patted his weapon case, wondering if he should put a lock on it.

"Then you'll have to buy it normally. For some reason, there are no discounts on this item, but you have enough money."

Lily was disappointed that she couldn't take the gun that laid the golden egg from the White Curtain.

"Enough money is enough."

“Actually, you don’t need to pay right away.” Lily smiled again. “I can keep track of it. As long as you can generate more profit for me in the future, I’ll let you know when the accounts are settled.”

"...I think it's more appropriate to just give them the money directly."

“Every transaction will be recorded in detail, and you can check it at any time. If you find any problems, you can erase that transaction, how about that?”

Lily added some conditions, and Bai Mu was tempted after hearing them.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded: "That works too. You really know how to manipulate people."

Lily's terms were indeed hard to refuse; her bookkeeping was interest-free and very favorable to the 'borrower'.

The accounts can be checked at any time, and Lily did not require Bai Mu not to have other professionals check them. Once a problem is found, all the accounts can be wiped clean.

Even if a few million dollars end up in trouble, it's still not a loss for the person involved.

This is gambling on whether Lily will make a mistake or make a mistake, assuming that the person involved will not lose.

"Can't I return it early?" "No, not within six years. Also, the items provided must be related to the dream."

That's acceptable. Bai Mu nodded and continued, "Then, do I have a choice about what I can do?"

"Of course you can choose. After the agreement is signed, you can hand over the gun to me directly."

"Stop staring at that thing." Bai Mu's expression fell. "I'm fine now. When is the earliest I can get what I want?"

"Within a month, there will be no discount because this item needs to be custom-made by the devil."

"demon?!"

“Soulstones are something demons are good at making, so if you want the best, you should go to a demon.” Lily said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Bai Mu nodded: "Alright, just come to me whenever you want to double-cross the demons, and I'll help you out properly."

"Oh dear, don't think of all demons as so bad. Some demons are actually quite nice to get along with."

"I've never seen it before," Bai Mu said casually.

There may be good ones among the demons, but there aren't many good ones among the traditional demon skins.

At least among the demons that Bai Mu encountered, they were all traditional demons.

As for what kind of demon Lily encountered, Bai Mu didn't want to know more, but he wouldn't change his opinion of demons just because of Lily's few words.

"I'll introduce you to him when I have the chance."

"Okay, it's time to sleep. You'll sleep here with me?"

Lily punched the white curtain with her little fist: "I have a room here."

Bai Mu's house is quite large. In addition to the master bedroom, there is also a secondary bedroom, which she has prepared as a special room for herself to rest.

The next day, Bai Mu woke up early and made breakfast before realizing that there was someone else in his house.

He wanted to knock on Lily's door, but the door opened—not in the bedroom, but in the side room.

"When did you go out?"

Lily pulled out an agreement: "I bought breakfast earlier, would you like some?"

"Let's eat together." Bai Mu glanced at the breakfast Lily had bought, and wanting to avoid wasting food, he didn't refuse.

After Bai Mu read Lily's agreement and confirmed that there were no problems, he signed his name.

With the 6666 million agreement in effect, Bai Mu put down his pen and couldn't help but look at Lily.

She feigned shyness at being stared at by the white curtain: "Why are you staring at me?"

"You are much richer than I thought."

"It's alright. Some things are easy to obtain, but the price can be very high."

"Then let's not talk about price... never mind, let's talk about price." Bai Mu didn't press the matter further.

Obtaining a Soul Stone might not be difficult for Lily, but it would be priceless for others.

Lily has her own network of connections to obtain these things, and others can only get them through her network.

Once the price is agreed upon, the matter is considered a transaction, and no favors will be owed. After the transaction is completed, the matter is considered closed.

"I hope you make a mistake soon."

"I might make mistakes in other things, but I won't make mistakes when it comes to bookkeeping." Lily put away the agreement in a good mood.

The six-year, 6666 million agreement, though an 'interest-free' loan, wasn't what Lily valued most; rather, it was the more stable relationship they shared, which was far more valuable than the so-called interest.
