After proposing the new trade, Feonne immediately displayed his merchant savvy. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Fortunately, Bai Yi didn’t have to face it personally.
After proposing the needs, Bai Yi quickly brought Shang Ji into the channel, leaving Feonne for Shang Ji to deal with.
Even though at other times Feonne was always trying every way to show sincerity, seeking her favor to quickly achieve the trade balance.
However, when it came to the trade, he seemed to switch his thinking, uncompromising on every detail.
Just as cunning as Shang Ji, when negotiating terms, it was a give and take.
Luckily, Shang Ji’s brain, enhanced by her, was far beyond the scope of normal creatures, relying on agile thinking to gain a slight advantage.
With the final discount, they managed to secure an additional 12% in resources before satisfactorily ending the communication.
Although it doesn’t seem like much, the trade agreed upon this time was significant, almost using up all the resources Bai Yi had acquired, along with a large batch of potions.
Given the huge base, this 12% was equivalent to the resources of four Thousand-legged Dragons.
At least for Bai Yi’s current capacity, this quantity is absolutely considerable.
"Your Highness, I will return now to prepare for the upcoming trade and fleet formation."
After Feonne’s projection disappeared, Shang Ji turned toward Bai Yi and said.
"Hmm, you will handle the trade fully in due time.
The resources have been settled, and now we can focus on development for a while.
Let’s first utilize the title of Honorary Vice Admiral, and prepare that fleet quickly, ensuring not to leave any major flaws externally.
Moreover, the identification code has already been delivered to you by the witch, and the Gemini Civilization military channel will also serve as our source of information, quickly compiling all the intelligence I currently have access to."
Shang Ji immediately understood, not to leave major flaws meant deliberately leaving some seemingly detectable gaps, exposing some unimportant information.
This method of deliberately leaving gaps and sending out the information she wanted to convey, Shang Ji was already familiar with.
"Understood."
After disconnecting Shang Ji’s communication, Bai Yi relaxed and lay back on her deck chair.
Casually activating the projection function of the communicator, during the negotiations with Feonne, the discussion heat on the Quantum Network was still just as intense as at the beginning.
Instead, it seemed to be escalating, attracting more and more Starry Sky People to participate in this grand discussion.
Especially regarding her topic, the discussion heat had occupied almost half of this time.
From the perspective of faith, it was most evident; the number of fine threads connected to her from the Starry Sky had clearly increased, and those existing threads also felt noticeably thicker.
The former was clearly attracted by her display of strength, while the latter indicated a deepening of belief among existing believers.
"What a pity, if only these believers could be used to custom-make Divine Positions...
These believers probably are unaware of the presence of faith, only able to provide me with pure Power of Faith.
Heh, calling it faith, but this thing now seems more like a connection on the soul level.
I wonder how those souls, at most just ordinary people level, can use transcendent power to precisely connect with my soul over such a long distance..."
Bai Yi muttered softly; the more she interacted with the Power of Faith, the more familiar yet puzzled she became with its essence.
However, Bai Yi knew well that humans cannot decide how God rolls the dice, nor can they determine how natural laws operate.
All she can do is to explore the more accurate definitions of these laws as much as possible and find aspects favorable to her from there.
Without further exploring the issue, Bai Yi turned to another thought.
"Speaking of which, it’s rare to return from the New Star Zone, and merely participating in this round of Judgement seems too wasteful...
Having brought such gains to the Gemini Emperor, there’s no big issue if I don’t return to the New Star Zone for a short time.
Just in time for the body to finish improving the custom Divine Descent technology, the new technique requires me to personally leave my mark on those Divine Statues, perform corresponding Miracles to anchor the Divine Position.
I can take advantage of this time to make a round trip.
Moreover, now that the Great Mage has completely fallen, his legacy definitely can’t entirely be swallowed by the Gemini Civilization!
Currently, I have part of the Great Mage’s soul, and can use this to gather all his hidden assets!"
Having once experienced inheriting someone’s legacy, Bai Yi was very clear on how much a powerhouse’s legacy can leave behind.
Even though this time, the Great Mage’s fall was a public Judgement by the Gemini Civilization, his visible assets are under Gemini’s watch, thus couldn’t be seized directly.
But even Madison, who was relatively closer to the Three Great Civilizations, had so much hidden legacy after death, with so many things that couldn’t be exposed.
Bai Yi couldn’t even imagine how many hidden assets the scheming Great Mage might have!
She didn’t believe that after having his own thoughts, the Great Mage wouldn’t actually hide more of his assets.
Not to mention the Great Mage was inherently stronger than Madison, reaching the 8th Rank limit earlier by hundreds of years than Madison was born.
Such a long time of accumulation is not to be underestimated.
