"How about it, my friend? Do you want to buy Jin Gong's translation service?" Goblin Jin Gong asked with a smile.
"Don't worry." Bai Xiaowen smiled. "I need to buy services, but not just this … I also need to open a stall. Please help me look after it. I also need to buy some information about the Temple of Prophecy. Can you provide all of that?"
"… Yes, my friend. You are so wise." Jin Gong gave him a thumbs up.
Bai Xiaowen did not intend to buy only one "service" because after buying the translation service, if he saw the divine artifact fragments he wanted later, he would still have to ask Jin Gong to contact the other party. He also had some divine artifact fragments that he wanted to sell. Would he also have to ask Jin Gong to resell them?
After buying one service, he would also have to buy the other services. Otherwise, he would definitely lose the initial investment. This was sunk cost. It was like paying a deposit. If he did not explain the details clearly at the beginning, he would inevitably be cheated by unscrupulous merchants after paying the deposit.
It was wise to put all the services he wanted to buy together, ask for the total price, and then consider whether it was worth it.
"Are you going to separate the services you provide and make money from them one by one?" Bai Xiaowen asked curiously.
Jin Gong chuckled as a tacit agreement.
In fact, Jin Gong did that. He had also used this method to cheat several groups of explorers.
"Won't you … get beaten up like this?" Bai Xiaowen asked doubtfully.
"My friend! Jin Gong is so kind, how could he get beaten up! And most importantly … "
Jin Gong pointed at the square. "This is the square of the God of Prophecy. There is a statue of the God watching, so you cannot use force! Otherwise, it would be blasphemy! "
Bai Xiaowen frowned slightly. He tried to release his True Inner Force and indeed felt a strange and obscure pressure. It was exactly the same as the pressure he felt on the 10,000 stone steps.
Even the release of Psychic Energy was restricted. It seemed that this square was still a "safe zone".
"Alright."
Bai Xiaowen thought for a moment and said, "I need a universal translator of the Goldmine Planet common language that you said and a stall that can be managed offline. After buying the stall, if someone wants to buy my stuff, how are you going to inform me?"
"This … Alright, let's use this."
Jin Gong reluctantly took out an old walkie-talkie. This item looked like a product from the industrial era, but it had a strong psionic aura. It was obviously a special psionic item.
Bai Xiaowen's Eyes of Evolution scanned the area.
[G-205 Individual Combat Communicator: After injecting spiritual energy into it, it can communicate with another army communicator that is bound to it from a long distance. Effective distance: 1000 kilometers.]
"It looks good. It should be with the stall, right?" Bai Xiaowen said quickly. "What if the distance is more than 1000 kilometers?"
The Prophecy Temple was about the same size as Earth. If one were to enter the Prophecy Temple to explore, they would accidentally exceed the effective radius of 1,000 kilometers.
"This was supposed to be a separate service. My friend, you've caused me to lose 50% of my profits!" Jin Gong quickly put on a smile after saying that. "However, I have an upgrade program here. As long as I add a small component to your G-205 Individual Combat Communicator, it can be upgraded to the G-215 model, increasing the communication distance to 2000 kilometers!"
Bai Xiaowen was speechless. The upgrade program would most likely cost Deified Cores. If he had not asked about the distance limit, this damn goblin would most likely not have taken the initiative to mention the upgrade program. He could only wait until Bai Xiaowen was at a disadvantage because of the distance limit before he came to buy it from him.
"I want the latest version of the communicator, a stall, and a universal translation. Are there any other fees?" Bai Xiaowen asked. "We'll calculate the total price together."
Jin Gong answered in a second. "A total of 37 Deified Cores, my friend."
"Too expensive. Seventeen."
"God of Wealth, that's impossible! Just the latest version of the G-255 Individual Combat Communicator is priced at 25 Deified Cores. There's also the stall fee, the escrow fee, the translation fee … "
The two of them haggled for a while and finally reached a price of 30 Deified Cores.
"Now, the most important question is, what do you have to guarantee your credibility?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Although it was said that since so many Explorer voters believed in Jin Gong, it meant that this damn goblin was trustworthy, Bai Xiaowen was not a gullible person.
"My friend, is Jin Gong's shining kindness unable to shine in your heart?"
"Sorry, I only see your shining golden teeth."
"… I swear in the name of the God of Wealth. Is that okay?"
"Okay."
The two of them finally finalized the deal.
30 Deified Cores. Not only did they empty Bai Xiaowen's inventory, but they also owed him a few Deified Cores. The angry Jin Gong almost refused the deal.
However, Jin Gong also had sunk costs. After all, he had sworn in the name of the God of Wealth … Also, time was money. This was not just a saying for goblins.
Bai Xiaowen refused to use Spirit Crystals to make up the difference, but he still promised that he would return the Deified Cores to Jin Gong in the future.
With Jin Gong's "Omnipotent Translation Manual," Bai Xiaowen quickly learned the language of the Gold Mine Planet and began to browse through the stalls.
"So many people are interested in exchanging Divine Equipment Fragments." Bai Xiaowen was amazed.
This meant that the Prophecy Temple was a treasure ground with many Divine Equipment Fragments inside! No wonder so many people were willing to spend Deified Cores to let Jin Gong manage the stalls.
Of course, even more people were looking to buy Divine Equipment Fragments. The promises they made were more and more attractive.
But it was useless. In the Land of Origin, piecing together Divine Equipment was an important way for Explorers to strengthen their abilities. How could they be cheated by empty promises?
If they wanted Divine Equipment Fragments, they could only exchange them with other Divine Equipment Fragments.
Among them, Bai Xiaowen even saw the exchange information for fragments of the "Sword of Heaven's Punishment."
"The sixth Sword of Heaven's Punishment, a Divine Equipment Fragment from the God of Light series, only accepts Divine Equipment Fragments from the God of Desert series in exchange!"
Seeing this, Bai Xiaowen fell into deep thought.
"Wasn't the Sword of Heaven's Punishment, the sixth Sword of Heaven's Punishment that I snatched from Ocandis?"
Two Sword of Heaven's Punishment, the sixth Sword of Heaven's Punishment, had appeared at the same time. What did this mean?
Bai Xiaowen instantly thought of two possibilities.
First, when the God of Light created Divine Equipment, more than one Sword of Heaven's Punishment had been created. It was possible that other Gods had created duplicate Divine Equipment.
After all, mass production was easier and more labor-saving than redesigning a new product.
Moreover, the Sword of Heaven's Punishment was only a Lesser Divine Equipment.
As for the second possibility, it was that there was something wrong with this stall owner and he had deliberately made up fake information. But this possibility … was really low. He could not see any obvious benefits for the time being. It was just a waste of Deified Cores.
