58: Origin of the World and Wonders for Enhancing Talents

Thinking of this, Brian began to walk towards the Mage Tower.

Upon returning to his room in the Mage Tower, Brian said to Spirit Eye:

"Spirit Eye, search the magic net for heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can elevate Mage Talent to Second-Level and Third-level, and compare their prices."

"Understood, creator, I will immediately search for and organize the information for you," Spirit Eye's voice echoed in the room.

After a short while, Spirit Eye reported:

"creator, I have found information on relevant heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can elevate one to Second-Tier Mage Talent include 'Star Spirit Flower', priced at 10 units of world origin;

'Blazing Sun Dew', also priced at 10 units of world origin.

Those that can elevate one to Third-level Mage Talent include 'Shadow Crystal', priced at 2 units of world origin;

'Starry Grass', also priced at 2 units of world origin.

However, all of the above can only enhance existing talent and cannot bestow Mage Talent upon a person.

According to my search, there is only one way to grant a person Mage Talent.

That is to consume world origin."

Brian frowned when he heard that the units were world origin and that all these heavenly materials and earthly treasures required existing Mage Talent to improve one's talent.

"This is troublesome. I didn't expect that heavenly materials and earthly treasures for improving talent would be purchased with world origin."

"Even more unexpected, granting someone Mage Talent requires consuming world origin."

"I only have high-grade magic stone now! Spirit Eye, help me find the exchange rate and channels for high-grade magic stone to world origin!" Brian stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and said to Spirit Eye.

Spirit Eye searched the net and quickly responded:

"creator, according to the latest information on the magic net, the main exchange channels are official exchanges on the magic net, large trading houses, etc.

The exchange ratio between high-grade magic stone and world origin is fixed, but this is only the fixed price given by the officials. The exchange ratio at the official exchange is 100 million high-grade magic stone for 1 unit of world origin.

However, the official exchange has a monthly limit, and once it's exchanged, it's gone. The world origin currently available for exchange at the official exchange is zero, meaning the monthly quota has been used up.

The market price at large trading houses fluctuates with market supply and demand, roughly 1.5 to 2.5 times that of the official exchange. This can be exchanged at any time."

After hearing this, Brian felt that this official exchange was a bit of a scheme.

This kind of limited purchase thing was clearly set up by a group of bigwigs to benefit their private trading houses.

Under the premise of legality and compliance, just pass it on!

Hey! Wouldn't a profit of one or two times be in hand?

However, there was no other way for now. He could only check the situation at the large trading houses first.

Brian then said to Spirit Eye: "Spirit Eye, continue searching the magic net to see if there are any large trading houses with good reputation and low prices. I'll see if I can exchange for world origin."

"Understood, creator, I will now filter for large trading house information with excellent reputation and lower exchange rate ratios for you," Spirit Eye quickly responded.

The room fell silent again, with only the sound of Brian lightly tapping the table.

Before long, Spirit Eye's voice spoke again:

"creator, I have filtered out several large trading houses with excellent reputation and lower exchange rate ratios for you."

"They are Starlight Trading House, Phantom Moon Trading House, Life Trading House, Starry Trading House, and Godslayer Trading House."

"These five trading houses currently offer world origin exchange services, and the market price for all of them is 150 million high-grade magic stone for 1 unit of world origin."

Brian was slightly surprised to see Phantom Moon Trading House among the names.

However, on second thought, it was inevitable for bigwigs above Level 8 to have their own trading houses.

He then said to Spirit Eye: "Then let's exchange at Phantom Moon Trading House! After all, I can somewhat be considered one of Phantom Moon's people. It's better to keep the wealth within the family!"

Spirit Eye immediately responded: "Understood, creator, I will contact Phantom Moon Trading House for you now to arrange the world origin exchange."

Brian nodded, calculating the amount of high-grade magic stone needed for the exchange in his mind.

At an exchange rate of 150 million high-grade magic stone for 1 unit of world origin,

he needed to exchange at least 15 units of world origin,

to purchase the heavenly materials and earthly treasures he planned for.

This meant he would have to spend a full 2.25 billion high-grade magic stone.

This was no small sum.

Let me see how much money I have first.

Brian then said to Spirit Eye: "Spirit Eye, help me check my intelligent robot commissions during this period, as well as my recent spending."

Spirit Eye quickly began calculating and replied after a moment:

"creator, currently, a total of 21,333 intelligent robot data sets have been sold, with a total revenue of 213.33 million high-grade magic stone, of which 5,333 sets were sold in the past year;

Commissions from the sale of level 3 intelligent robot and below reached 7 million high-grade magic stone, of which 4 million high-grade magic stone were from the past year;

Commissions from the sale of level 4 intelligent robot totaled 20 billion high-grade magic stone, of which 18 billion high-grade magic stone were from the past year;

Commissions from the sale of Level 5 and above totaled 100 million high-grade magic stone, all of which were from this year.

As for expenses, a total of 53.5 million high-grade magic stone were spent, including various production lines, production materials, experimental consumables, purchased items, etc.

Currently, 20.27 billion high-grade magic stone remain."

"Hmm! Not bad!" Brian was very satisfied with Spirit Eye's reply!

However, spending 2.25 billion high-grade magic stone at once, even for him, was a huge sum!

This already exceeded ten percent of Brian's total wealth!

Then, Spirit Eye's voice came from the air again:

"creator, Phantom Moon Trading House has replied. They can exchange world origin for you at any time and have asked how many units you need to exchange."

Brian then said to Spirit Eye: "Tell them I need to exchange 15 units of world origin."

Spirit Eye quickly conveyed Brian's request to Phantom Moon Trading House.

Soon, Spirit Eye received a reply from the other party:

"creator, Phantom Moon Trading House stated that they can exchange 15 units of world origin for you, totaling 2.25 billion high-grade magic stone. They asked when it would be convenient for you to conduct the transaction."

Brian thought for a moment and said: "Now is fine, the sooner the better. I'll go directly to the virtual magic net to trade with them."

"Understood, creator, I will now arrange your transaction with Phantom Moon Trading House on the virtual magic net."

Not long after replying to Brian, Spirit Eye spoke again:

"creator, the connection with Phantom Moon Trading House has been completed. You can now enter the virtual magic net trading space."

Brian immediately had a thought and entered the virtual magic net trading space.

In an instant, a spacious and brightly lit trading hall appeared before his eyes, where the representative of Phantom Moon Trading House was already waiting.

The representative was an elderly man dressed in luxurious mage robes. He smiled and said to Brian:

"Mr. Brian, welcome to Phantom Moon Trading House's trading space. We have already prepared the 15 units of world origin you require and can proceed with the transaction at any time."

Brian nodded and said: "Alright, let's begin the transaction."

Subsequently, Brian transferred 2.25 billion high-grade magic stone to the designated account of the trading house.

The other party then handed the 15 units of world origin to Brian.

After the transaction was completed, the old man smiled and said: "Mr. Brian, it was a pleasure doing business with you. Should you have any needs in the future, you are welcome to visit Phantom Moon Trading House again."

Brian also smiled and responded: "Certainly, certainly. This transaction went very smoothly. I'll definitely cooperate again if there's an opportunity."

With that, Brian exited the virtual magic net trading space.
