Chapter 1288 - 778: White Ivy’s Scheme_2

Dragon Cypress and his assistant kings were speechless.

No one expected Chairman White Ivy to actually plan to use the same trick, and con Chairman Shuigan a second time...

Holm Oak Great Leader continued to ask: "Chairman White Ivy, is there any way to get their base price?"

"There's no way for now."

White Ivy: "The base price for commodities like Origin Points and Star Spider is a chamber of commerce secret. Leaking commerce secrets is a serious issue. I've asked the spiders who are of the same lineage on the home planet, and even they aren't willing to reveal it, mainly because they don't dare..."

They chatted for a few more sentences.

The insects hibernated.

…

…

Sheep Hoof Armor Star System,

Chairman Blackberry piloted the Star Spider, docking at North 1001 District Plaza on Potato Leaf Star.

The cabin door opened,

and Dragon Cypress, White Ivy, Holm Oak, Round Cypress, and Spiked Cypress stepped out of the Star Spider first.

At the back, Little Warriors were teleported from dimensional space, briefly confused, then grouped in threes and fives, and walked out of the cabin.

——Wow!

——Second Level Origin Point!

——Such rich Natural Primordial Force!

——So many insects!

——Are they all Half Star Realm Insect Clan Warriors and above?

——That, that, is that beetle from Habitat Realm?

——Seems like it? Can't sense any Origin Force Fluctuation.

Little Warriors looked around curiously and cheered loudly, discussing noisily.

"Quiet! Quiet!"

Dragon Cypress shook his tentacles, shouting and issuing commands:

"Spiked Cypress, Cypress, Silver Cypress, Jade, Red Fruit, Wild Sakura, Silver Poplar, organize everyone into groups and line up, wait where you are, no wandering around."

"Round Cypress, lead the Little Warriors sequentially into the first-floor hall, using the Star Pillar, to organize joining the Chamber of Commerce."

"Black Cory, Black Leaf, Black Persimmon, accompany Holm Oak Great Leader to... wait on the Star Spider."

With a simple arrangement,

Dragon Cypress waved his claw, signaling: "Chairman White Ivy, let's rent a small Star Spider to go over."

"Alright—"

White Ivy led the way, maneuvering to Saddle Leaf Star's South 1001 District.

They walked straight through the plaza and ascended to the third floor of the Luoli Chamber of Commerce Branch's station.

…

In the universe starry sky, Insect Clan Warriors who have lived long often develop a habit: seizing any chance of respite to hibernate, reducing life span consumption.

…

The luxurious hall, adorned with gemstones, shone brightly.

The old Spider Chairman Shuigan had half of his body hidden behind a thick Star Pillar, resting in hibernation.

As a professional habit,

he maintained a high level of vigilance even during hibernation.

As soon as White Ivy and his party stepped onto the third floor, Shuigan woke up immediately and naturally rose, moving slowly and calmly from behind the Star Pillar.

"Hey—"

"Chairman White Ivy~"

"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

After a single trade six thousand years ago, Shuigan had interacted with White Ivy twice, but hadn't seen Dragon Cypress since.

However, he still remembered him, and vividly so.

Renting Origin Points, such hundred-billion deals are not frequent; rarely does one come by even once in a hundred years.

A truly valuable client,

Shuigan recognized him instantly.

This somewhat naive Little Ant King presumably still harbors many World Gemstones brought from the home planet.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, long time no see!"

"Welcome, welcome to visit!"

Shuigan stepped out from backstage, approached quickly, warmly greeted, and inquired: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, is everything going smoothly with your Origin Point business? By my calculations, it should be over six thousand years now? How is it? Have the rental costs been recovered?"

"Yes! Just broke even!" Dragon Cypress replied happily.

"Nonsense!" White Ivy lightly lifted his hind leg, nudged Dragon Cypress, signaling him not to talk carelessly.

Shuigan: "..."

"Heh~ Heh~"

Shuigan laughed dryly: "I've said it all along. What I offered to Dragon Cypress Ant King was the most favorable price. With slightly good luck, it would definitely yield a big profit. Across the whole universe, you won't find another place cheaper, nor another spider as honest as me."

Though speaking warmly, Shuigan felt a pang~

Initially, he was focused on acquiring more World Gemstones, or profiting from dealing in Third Level metal materials, but in the end...

Shuigan once suspected he was conned by Spider and Ant.

But later, through exchanges, he became sure that actually, the Spider wasn't smart...

Looking at the Ant again, with a simple-minded demeanor, wasted such a large head...

The issue was likely with Kansui and Giant Taro...

Probably those two old rogues tricked him...

Shuigan continued probing: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, how many Divine-Given Seeds have you gathered? Our Luoli Chamber of Commerce also operates an auction house in Palace Powder Star's commercial district. I am well-acquainted with the old spider responsible for auction affairs. If there are any Divine-Given Seeds you don't fancy, you might consider me mediating them, auctioning them into cash..."

Upon hearing that, Dragon Cypress's eyes lit up and asked: "Chairman Shuigan, can you help with introductions? Could the commissions be cheaper?"

"No need, it's unnecessary!" White Ivy lifted a claw, pressing Dragon Cypress down, staring at Shuigan unkindly.

Shuigan: "..."

Shuigan realized that the Ant must have sold off some of the Divine-Given Seeds.

This silly Spider truly was a nuisance...

Shuigan kept up his enthusiasm, switched topics and inquired: "Chairman White Ivy, Dragon Cypress Ant King, what brings you here this time?"

White Ivy firmly stated: "To rent another Zero Level Origin Point!"

Shuigan: "???"

White Ivy adopted a serious tone, clearly addressing: "First, we employ refinement ability, cooperatively engage in refinement of Origin Force Food trade, and have progressed well, our account funds have exceeded; second, Dragon Cypress Ant King cultivates and manages Azure Star System, overall in terms of costs, is assured of no losses; third, besides managing the territory, Dragon Cypress Ant King has no other skills, cannot, and will not do anything else."

"Hence, after comprehensive consideration, we decided to rent a second Zero Level Origin Point."

"We also thought about this, Azure Star System's rental cost is still relatively reasonable, thus, we opted to contact you, Chairman Shuigan, again."
