My two-dimensional resident

"More than twenty fragments? That should be soon. Let's go back once we've collected all the fragments. We've been away for quite a while this time. Last time I returned from the Shinobu Kocho world, I didn't even stay for an hour. I still have the gold I got earlier on me; it's time to go back and continue repairing the bridge."

Lin Tian nodded, recalling that he had just come out of the service hall and hadn't had time to sell the gold at the store before arriving in the Inuyasha world with Kikyo.

Lin Tian's eyes lit up at the mention of gold. He remembered that this place was hailed as the land of gold by the world-famous Venetian merchant Marco Polo.

The country, which has always been perceived as a place surrounded by sea, prone to volcanoes and earthquakes, and suffering from frequent disasters and scarce resources, is actually a major gold-producing country, according to Lin Tian's knowledge of its history. It not only has no shortage of gold but also exports it abroad.

Chapter 224 Terminator Sesshomaru

Although the wars of this era have made the people here very poor, they still have their own gold mines within their respective territories.

Once these gold mines are dug up, smelted into gold, and then all that gold is taken back to the island and sold to Xiaodou and Xiaoli, that would be a huge income.

'But...'

Lin Tian's expression darkened as he recalled the will of this world. If he forcibly took the gold here, she would certainly not stand idly by.

After all, if Lin Tian were to mine all the gold here, it would affect the fate of ten million people.

'Perhaps I can operate like I did in the last world, exchanging gold through cooperation...'

'There are too many monsters in this world, and the exorcists who can fight them are generally too weak. If I trade apples for gold, I'm sure I can succeed.'

With a good idea in mind, Lin Tian couldn't help but smile.

"What's wrong, Lin Tian?"

Seeing Lin Tian suddenly laugh, Kikyo, sitting opposite him, asked with some confusion.

"When we were talking about gold just now, I suddenly realized that for so long, we've been collecting the Shikon Jewel shards, but we haven't been collecting the gold in this world."

So it suddenly occurred to me that once all the fragments are collected, I can use the apples to trade for gold with these demon hunters. This way, our adorable Rabbit Island will have another way to make money.”

After hearing Lin Tian's words, Kikyo smiled. But she quickly became disappointed.

Kikyo was aware that the adorable Rabbit Island was short of bells, and that in the outside world, only gold could fetch a good price from Little Bean and Little Grain.

But she herself hadn't even thought of collecting gold in her world.

So much time has passed, and if Lin Tian hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten. The two of them had been running around, focused solely on retrieving the Shikon Jewel.

Kikyo thought that as Lin Tian's girlfriend and a local of this world, she should share more of Lin Tian's burdens. She had also thought of this way to make money earlier than Lin Tian.

But... she hadn't considered that. She was only focused on collecting the Shikon Jewel shards, only focused on finding her enemy Naraku, and only focused on how to meet Inuyasha.

"Lin Tian... I'm sorry. I should have thought of this beforehand. After all, I'm from here, and I know more about this world than you do..."

Looking into Lin Tian's pure eyes, Kikyo couldn't suppress her guilt any longer. She lowered her head and apologized to Lin Tian with remorse.

"Silly girl, what's there to be sorry about? Don't blame yourself. I won't blame you for not thinking of it before me."

Lin Tian pushed the table between the two of them aside, then moved in front of Kikyo, raised his hand and gently stroked Kikyo's cold cheek, comforting her with a face full of affection.

Lin Tian was initially puzzled by Kikyo's sudden self-blame. But he quickly understood why Kikyo was acting this way.

She really loves herself too much...

Just as the two were snuggling together, enjoying their time alone, there was a knock on the wooden door outside.

"Come in!" Lin Tian was a little annoyed by the interruption, but when he realized that it was Sesshomaru standing outside with Agate, he released Kikyo, put the table between the two of them back on its original position, and then invited the two outside to come in.

"Lord Lin Tian, ​​Lady Kikyo. A team of exorcists just returned. Although they didn't retrieve the Shikon Jewel, they brought back information that two factions possess it."

As soon as Agate entered, she knelt on the tatami mat, bowed to Lin Tian and Kikyo, and then lowered her head to inform them of the good news.

"Go on..."

Upon hearing that the demon hunters sent out by Agate had brought back the fragments, Lin Tian and Kikyo exchanged a glance, and then Lin Tian waved his hand to let Agate continue.

"In the western land of Thunder Soil, there is a wolf demon clan, and within their territory lives a bird of paradise. My people saw that the bird of paradise possessed four fragments of the Shikon Jewel, so they wanted to kill the bird and retrieve the fragments. However, the young master of the wolf demon clan, a man named Steel Fang, led his wolf demon clan members and stole all the fragments."

Another power possessing shards of the Shikon Jewel is the Kyoto Shogunate; the Incheon Shogun already has three shards. The clansmen wanted to negotiate with him to exchange for the shards, but were driven away by his men.

"I see. It seems we need to send a powerful person to retrieve the fragments of the dead soul." Lin Tian pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Sesshomaru.

Seeing Lin Tian's gaze, Sesshomaru understood that he couldn't escape the mission to retrieve the fragments of these two forces. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Tian's command, he remained silent.

But for the sake of the apple, he began to hypnotize himself. After successfully convincing himself, he nodded to Lin Tian, ​​indicating that he could retrieve the seven fragments.

"Then I'll trouble you, Sesshomaru. The wolf demons of the Land of Lightning are easy to deal with, but the Kyoto Shogunate may have powerful monks guarding them. Take this; it can conjure up an arm that will allow you to unleash your full power."

Lin Tian looked at the one-armed Sesshomaru and suddenly remembered the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid that Erza had mailed back to him before.

In her letter, Erza said she had accidentally ruined the Moon Spirit Essence and hoped Lin Tian could help repair it. Lin Tian, ​​seeing the Moon Spirit Essence turned to stone, was also at a loss. Not knowing how to fix it, he mailed the Moon Spirit Essence to Yinliya, asking her to help him.

Although Yin Liya often argued with Lin Tian during their correspondence, she was still very reliable. In less than a week, she mailed the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, which had turned back into liquid, back to the island.

Unfortunately, Lin Tian was preparing to accompany Shinobu Kocho to the Demon Slayer world at the time, so he didn't have time to resend the repaired Moon Spirit Essence Liquid to Erza.

The main reason for lending the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid to Sesshomaru this time was, as he said, that the Kyoto Shogunate was different from the wolf demon clan, as it was home to one-tenth of the world's humans.

As one of the most prosperous cities in human history, Kyoto attracted a large number of exorcists and eminent monks to avoid being invaded by monsters.

Especially since the shogunate is the national authority, it must be protected by many powerful human beings.

"?"

Sesshomaru frowned as he looked at the silvery-white liquid in Lin Tian's hand, finding it hard to believe that this small vial of unknown liquid could give him an arm.

"Take it, communicate with it with your mind, and it will understand what you need."

Seeing Sesshomaru hesitate, Lin Tian patiently explained to him.

After listening to Lin Tian's words, Sesshomaru hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the unknown liquid from Lin Tian's hand. Following Lin Tian's instructions, he closed his eyes and began to communicate with the liquid.

Burning Words

Sesshomaru has a strong ability to understand. In just a few seconds, the Moon Spirit Essence in his hand reacted, detaching from the test tube and gathering at the site of Sesshomaru's severed arm. Like the liquid metal on the TX in Terminator, it transformed Sesshomaru into a silver-white metallic arm.

I need to ask for leave; I'll make it up tomorrow night.

My niece is getting married tomorrow. Tonight I'm responsible for picking up my grandma. I don't have time to write anymore.

I'll update tomorrow night (the pain of not having enough points to redeem a leave slip).

Chapter 224 Both sides felt they hadn't lost out

"This is?"

Sesshomaru looked down at his newly acquired metal left arm, a rare look of surprise on his face. He tried raising the arm and swinging it a few times, then clenched his fist and released it. He discovered that this new arm was exactly the same as his normal arm.

This arm is even more sensitive to the use of demonic power than his right arm, but it will not collapse when he exerts all his demonic power.

"Not bad, right? But I'm sorry to disappoint you, this is only a temporary loan."

Seeing that Sesshomaru was very satisfied with the arm that the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid had conjured, Lin Tian chuckled lightly and inappropriately poured a bucket of cold water on his head.

"Thank you, boss."

Sesshomaru wasn't angry that the Moon Spirit Elixir was only temporarily lent to him. He nodded to Lin Tian, ​​then turned and pushed open the door to leave, going to complete the task Lin Tian had given him.

"Lord Lin Tian..."

After Sesshomaru left, Agate, who was standing to the side, looked at Lin Tian and tentatively whispered a call.

"Haha, Agate. How could I forget? Here, these apples are for you..."

Looking at Agate's face, it was as if the word "apple" was written all over it. Lin Tian laughed heartily. He took out thirty apples and piled them up in front of Agate.

Although Agate's subordinates hadn't recovered the Shikon Jewel shards, these two pieces of information were related to the whereabouts of the seven shards. As agreed, Lin Tian should have rewarded him with twenty-eight apples, but Lin Tian thought it would be better to round it up, so he gave him thirty directly.

"Sir, what is this?"

Looking at the two extra apples, Agate's joy was mixed with a hint of shock. He hadn't expected Lord Lin Tian to be so generous as to bestow extra apples upon them once again.

"Take it. Your demon-slaying skills are still too weak. You need to strengthen them. Agate, if you were asked to exchange four pounds of gold for an apple, would you do it?"

Lin Tian waved to Agate, signaling her to put the apples away. Then he spoke earnestly.

After realizing that there were many gold mines in this land but he couldn't mine them, Lin Tian thought of asking the demon exorcists to exchange gold for apples with him.

These exorcists fight monsters year-round, and every day, anywhere from a few to dozens of people die at their hands. Although the number seems small, the entire exorcist clan only has about a hundred exorcists who can go out to take on exorcism missions, so this number of deaths is far too many for them.

So Lin Tian proposed to Agate that they exchange gold for apples. During their month together, these demon hunters had personally experienced the power the apples brought them.

Therefore, Lin Tian believed that Agate and the others would not refuse his proposal, although the price might need to be discussed further.

"My lord! Really?"

Just as Agate waved to Coral and Amber, who were standing outside the door, to come in and carefully move the apples away, she heard this wonderful news before she could even sit down.

A feeling of joy and excitement instantly filled his mind, but he quickly feared that he had misheard, so he suppressed the joy on his face and asked.

"Yes, I have plenty of apples here. But the only thing you can offer is gold. I used to charge five pounds of gold for one apple, but seeing that you demon slayers are fighting monsters to save the world, I'll waive that pound of gold."

Lin Tian made his decision to exchange ten pounds of gold for an apple after careful consideration. On the adorable Rabbit Island, a ton of gold could be sold for 70 yuan. One kilogram is two pounds, and two pounds of gold could be sold for 700 yuan.

An apple is worth 200 yuan on the adorable Rabbit Island.

The apples were sold to Agate for the price of four catties of gold, and then the four catties of gold were sold to Xiaodou Xiaoli. The 200 yuan was increased sevenfold.

Lin Tian made a fortune. If it weren't for the underdeveloped mining industry in this era and the low circulation of gold in this land, Lin Tian might have even offered 10 jin of gold for an apple.

"Ah, thank you, sir. We are so grateful for your kindness."

Agate quickly kowtowed to Lin Tian to express his gratitude. Although they, as demon hunters, didn't have much gold, compared to the preciousness of apples, he thought the price Lin Tian offered was already very low.

While apples don't have the healing pills to quickly restore the health of someone on the verge of death, they can quickly restore the stamina of exorcists who have exhausted too much energy, allowing them to escape from the pursuit of monsters.

Most importantly, after eating an apple, the demon hunter's body will also become stronger.

This is undoubtedly a treasure for demon hunters who spend their lives on the edge of a knife.

At this moment, Agate already regarded Lin Tian as a god who would save their people, and he would accept any offer, no matter how high it was.

"I have 120 apples here. See how many you need right now, and you can come and trade with me after you've thought it over."

"Yes, my lord."

......

After Agate left, the room fell silent again. Lin Tian moved the table to the corridor outside and drank tea and ate snacks with Kikyo, watching the clouds of different shapes drift overhead. The two of them watched each other contentedly, enjoying the lazy afternoon sun.
