43: Chapter 43 A Hundred-Square Gold Bag! My Brother is a Human Lucky Charm! [Please Update!]

"Junior Chu Hong, greetings to Lord City Lord!"

"Hahaha, good, sit down. This old man truly did not expect that today's young people are increasingly not to be underestimated."

City Lord Jiang Xingdong's hearty laughter brought a relaxed atmosphere to the meeting room right from the start.

That appreciative gaze lingered on the unswerving yet respectful Chu Hong for a moment, then shifted to Wang Suming, who was clearly very excited yet sat upright next to Chu Hong with an appearance of extreme restraint.

He nodded again.

[Remember this site's domain and look for Taiwan Novel Network for Taiwan novels, super awesome]

"Kid Chu, come, take out the thing you obtained and let this old man take a look. Decades ago, when the Thunder-Horned Lizardman Tribe secret realm first appeared, the Shangcheng Base City dispatched a combat team to search for a whole year before finding just one item from it, and it has never appeared again since..."

Hearing this, Chu Hong was somewhat stunned.

Is the drop rate this low?

One top-tier red item per year?

He took out the lizard priests grimoire once more and placed it directly on the table, letting the people present inspect it.

The military-uniformed man sitting on the side made the first move, pressing one hand onto the scroll.

"Swish!"

Watching the strands of magical runes suddenly emerge from the scroll, drifting through the entire meeting room like a river of stars, both Chu Hong and Wang Suming could not help but reveal looks of amazement in their eyes.

The man withdrew his hand and looked at Jiang Xingdong: "City Lord, judging from the Source Energy fluctuations, it should be two stars, and because it is a top-tier red collectible of intelligence data that can carry out skill inheritance, its ultimate value should be locked at three stars!"

"On the side of the Armed Forces Department, the price offered is 17 million Source Energy Points!"

"Creeak!"

The sharp sound of a chair scraping against the floor came over. Wang Suming was almost frightened so much by this shocking figure that he fell right out of his chair on the spot.

"O-O-One thousand?! Seventeen million?!"

However,

Chu Hong's performance was extremely calm. No matter how high the Source Energy Points were, they were merely numbers after all, and with the Special Service Department cheat backing him up, he lacked no such resources at all.

What he was even more curious about were the methods displayed by these high-tier Pioneers before him.

And the alternative usage methods for those red-quality collectibles.

Under Chu Hong's gaze, Lan Yujing stood up and similarly pressed one hand onto the scroll.

Along with the Source Energy fluctuations, the runes on the surface of the scroll lit up once more. However, this time, streams of light flew directly out, appearing before everyone's eyes like books materialized from halos.

"There are a total of 115 recorded spells: 86 can be cast in the Qiyuan Realm, 25 in the Energy Gathering Realm, and 4 in the Core Condensation Realm... All recorded spells are completely consistent with the magic record list provided by Shangcheng, and no new magic exists."

"But so far, including this one, the secret realm [Thunder-Horned Lizardman Tribe] has only produced two lizard priests grimoire. I believe that its intrinsic value will not be diminished because there are no newly recorded spells; on the contrary... according to the Pioneers Guild Advanced Collectibles Management Regulations, the Huangshan Base City Branch can retain this red collectible for itself."

Lan Yujing's snow-white face was filled with a serious expression. First, she glanced at the calm Chu Hong.

Only then did she look back at City Lord Jiang Xingdong, who was sitting in the main seat.

"City Lord, the Pioneers Guild's offer is 19 million Source Energy Points!"

Wang Suming was already somewhat numb.

He even found it somewhat difficult to tell why this offer of 19 million Source Energy Points sounded just like 1,900 universal currency, failing to make people excited at all?

Chu Hong nodded and was not in a hurry to speak.

At this moment, Lan Yujing spoke once again.

"Additionally, since both Student Chu Hong and Student Wang Suming entered the secret realm twice and your hauls can definitely be considered outstanding, the Pioneers Guild can include both of you in the Potential Newcomer Plan, opening up the full redemption item permissions of the Qiyuan Realm for you."

Beside them, the man also refused to yield.

"The Armed Forces Department can also grant you permissions. Furthermore, if you are willing to give up the assessment for Longming Sacred Academy, we can directly recommend you for direct admission to Iron Wall University without any assessment, entering directly with zero risk!"

Both sides began to gradually up the ante. Not long after, just as the atmosphere was becoming somewhat tense,

Jiang Xingdong, sitting in the main seat, finally tapped the table.

"Alright, stop arguing. You are all indispensable forces of our Huangshan Base City. Besides, this top-tier red item itself is neither a one-time consumable nor a weapon that can only be equipped by an individual... Both of you sides can completely negotiate and simply send people periodically to receive magic inheritance."

Hearing this, both sides then successively sat back down.

Finally, Jiang Xingdong made the executive decision, giving a figure that couldn't help but surprise Chu Hong.

"Twenty million Source Energy Points!"

Twenty million?

At this moment, upon hearing this figure, Chu Hong could not help but gasp a breath of cold air.

Jiang Xingdong smiled, his deep gaze looking at Chu Hong with an expression of appreciation that had never changed.

"Huangshan Base City has not had anyone dare to apply for Longming Sacred Academy in several years. This old man is a person who cares about a good reputation, and when drinking tea with city lords from other base cities, I have not been mocked a little... Kid Chu, those extra Source Energy Points can be considered my personal reward to you as a young man."

"Go to the base treasury, get yourself and this friend of yours a set of higher-grade equipment, and then... in the assessment over ten days from now, tell those people who look down on our Huangshan Base City where you come from!"

Beside Chu Hong, Wang Suming was so excited his face flushed red.

"Rest assured, Lord City Lord! Brother Hong and I will definitely pass the exam into Longming Sacred Academy!"

"Hahaha! Good! This old man will wait to bring this good news back and ruthlessly mock them in return!"

Coming out of the meeting room,

Chu Hong's hand held an extra crystal card with a limit of twenty million Source Energy Points.

Lan Yujing personally led the two of them, taking the elevator into an underground treasury space beneath the Pioneers Guild that was heavily guarded and featured various protective and warning measures such as magical runes, immortal cultivation formations, and barriers.

In the center of a pure white, massive underground space was something resembling an altar.

And in front of this "altar" was a control console.

"You can pick the things you need here, insert your crystal card, and click confirm. The items will be directly teleported to this platform, and after registration, you can take them away."

Chu Hong nodded.

He glanced at the excited fatty Wang Suming beside him, who was looking around like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Thinking about it, he directly searched for the keyword "load enhancement" on the platform.

Immediately, information on various collectibles was categorized and arranged according to different levels.

Fatty Wang Suming's initial skill is [Stack].

Not only did it have a passive 20% extra slot increase, but each slot could also Stack and store no more than 20 identical items.

"Logistics load-bearing, tactical support" — this was Chu Hong's temporary positioning for Wang Suming between the two of them.

He rapidly browsed through these items.

"Real-world secret realms do not have the concept of a crotch insurance; there is simply no need to save on inventory slots, especially since this fatty's greatest use lies in his inventory..."

Chu Hong directly selected the golden quality.

The largest backpack ordinary people outside could buy was the kind of 45-slot backpack he and Wang Suming carried when entering the dungeon.

[Item Name]: profiteering goblins cargo box

[Item Grade]: Golden

[Type]: Equipment Prop

[Weight]: 20kg

[Occupied Inventory Slot Capacity]: 3 × 3

[Item Description]: Do not underestimate an unscrupulous merchant's ability to evade cargo transportation risks. Inside a wooden box only one cubic meter in size can be ordinary miscellaneous items intentionally shown to robbers by the unscrupulous goblin, or it can be another dimensional space of his that is not easily discovered. Contains 100 slots of storage space.

Holy mother of God!

One hundred slots?!

Chu Hong's eyeballs almost popped out on the spot. If this damn 100-slot weight-bearing space were used on this dead fatty Wang Suming, coupled with the 20% passive bonus,

That would be 120 slots!

120 slots, plus the effect of merging up to 20 identical items in a single slot.

Brother, you are going to become a demon!

You motherfucker are a human-shaped heavy truck in the secret realm!

He glanced at the purchase price: 1.3 million Source Energy Points!

Small change!

Buy!
