245: Dick makes money as fast as he can rob money
Chapter 245: Dick's Money-Making Speed Is Like Robbing
Dick set the search conditions to "Array Type", "Altar Type", and "Blueprint Type", while also limiting the transaction amount to over ten thousand contribution points.
Soon, Dick saw many public transactions.
[Dead Mist Swamp]: A quasi-God-rank wizard spell formation, currently missing the auxiliary formation inscriptions for the seventh to twelfth sections. For each section provided, the reward is five thousand contribution points... Second negotiation possible, serious inquiries only.
[Netherworld's Voodoo Staff]: Seeking forging blueprints of high-rank or above, the more detailed the better, incomplete versions accepted. Reward starts at twenty thousand contribution points, up to one hundred twenty thousand... If you dare to fool this old man, you're dead.
[Master Dorrans' Puppet Technique]: Only the technique! Only the technique! Only the technique! No casting visuals. Anything below God-rank is not accepted... I am not short on contribution points, specific reward will be discussed upon connection.
[Any God-rank Curse Technique]: Requires specific technique, casting visuals, and insights. Accepts secondarily improved versions. Reward starts at fifty thousand contribution points... I am not in the surface world and do not support offline transactions.
...
After a brief perusal, Dick quickly discovered a large number of high-reward transactions, all of which were non-physical online transactions.
Not only that, but all the publishers of these transactions were four-star or five-star cadres, and quite a few of them were not on the Demon Spirit Continent, or even in the surface world.
However, they could all communicate in real-time through the wizard token!
This convenient communication method was the Wizard Association's greatest foundation, and at the same time, it was the fundamental reason why the Wizard Association could exist to this day.
Because in one of his lives, Dick had served as the Grand Master of the Wizard Association once, he naturally knew the principles of the flowing market.
But knowing was one thing; Dick couldn't replicate it, because this unrestricted real-time communication method actually came from a demonic artifact.
An Emperor-Rank demonic artifact!
Legend has it that this was the possession of the first Grand Master. She created the flowing transaction market and subsequently the contribution point system using this Emperor-Rank artifact.
But even having served as the Grand Master of the Wizard Association once, Dick never got to see this Emperor-Rank artifact.
After all, it had a spirit, it was alive, and it could move freely.
To this day, no one knows the whereabouts of this Emperor-Rank artifact, and even its name has long been lost.
Everyone knew that if this mysterious Emperor-Rank artifact could be found, it would mean controlling the Wizard Association's contribution point system, thereby completely controlling the entire Wizard Association!
Regarding this, Dick didn't hold much hope. Millions of years had passed, and he hadn't heard of anyone finding this Emperor-Rank artifact.
After several browses, Dick finally chose a transaction worth five hundred thousand contribution points.
[Bel'veth's Ten Thousand Soul Banner]: Seeking detailed blueprints and forging service for this God-rank artifact. I can provide the relevant materials. Requires successful forging within 10 attempts... Deadline is two weeks from now. Interested parties connect quickly!
Dick's reason for choosing this transaction was simple: it offered the most contribution points, a full five hundred thousand!
Not only that, but Dick also saw that the publisher... was very anxious, extremely anxious!
One must know that the blueprints and forging of a God-rank artifact are not worth five hundred thousand contribution points at all. Although this Ten Thousand Soul Banner is quite rare, it belongs to the category of relatively useless God-rank artifacts.
However, this publisher offered the sky-high reward of five hundred thousand contribution points, which was clearly unreasonable!
However, the knowledgeable Dick knew what was going on.
Bel'veth's Ten Thousand Soul Banner has a little-known function: it heals soul damage. Its effect is excellent, even comparable to a quasi-Emperor-Rank artifact.
This publisher should be close to death, dying from soul exhaustion, which is why they urgently need the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to save their life.
Since they want to live, they will be eager to facilitate this transaction. Such transaction targets are easy to manipulate, and Dick liked that very much.
As expected, after applying for a connection, there was a response in less than three seconds.
"You are... a three-star cadre?"
Just as the connection was made, a lively girl's voice came through, but her tone revealed deep disdain.
"Kid, what's your strength? Did you read the transaction details clearly? If you clicked the wrong one, hurry up and scram..."
The girl seemed very impatient. After all, a mere three-star cadre, at most around level sixty, how could they possibly forge a God-rank artifact?
Dick sneered and directly interrupted the girl's muttering, "Heh, how rude. Although I cannot forge God-rank artifacts, I possess the complete blueprints for the Ten Thousand Soul Banner."
"Hey, look carefully, the transaction details also include a forging service. You only have the blueprints, which doesn't meet the requirements at all!"
Upon hearing this, Dick wasn't flustered but said calmly, "Bel'veth's Ten Thousand Soul Banner is a very rare God-rank artifact. Even the famous Forging Association hasn't included its blueprints. You..."
"Are you sure you want to refuse me?"
"......"
The girl fell silent and didn't immediately cut the connection. She was clearly being manipulated by Dick.
"Alright," after a few minutes, the girl spoke again and directly asked, "Then let's just trade the blueprints. How many contribution points do you want? One hundred thousand contribution points should be enough, right..."
Hearing the girl's compromise, Dick became even more certain of one thing: she really was waiting for the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to save a life. Either she or someone beside her was dying!
"Heh heh," Dick let out a meaningful smile and said unhurriedly, "I'm a bit afraid of trouble, so the price won't change."
"It'll be five hundred thousand contribution points."
Upon hearing this, the girl immediately burst into curses, "F-five hundred thousand... You want five hundred thousand for a set of God-rank artifact blueprints?! You actually dare to ask for that much..."
"Five hundred fifty thousand."
"You brat, are you robbing me? This price could even buy blueprints for a quasi-Emperor-Rank artifact..."
"Six hundred thousand."
"You, don't think you're the only one with the blueprints. The Ten Thousand Soul Banner is just a God-rank artifact. I'll just wait for others..."
"Six hundred fifty thousand."
"What are you doing, you... Wuwu, don't add anymore! My Grandpa doesn't have that many contribution points... Wuwu..."
Crying?
Faking tears?
Dick snorted coldly. He hated women faking tears the most. He immediately said indifferently, "Eight hundred thousand contribution points. Buy it or not, I'm leaving..."
He had plenty of blueprints in his head; he could just browse the market again. He wasn't like someone else, waiting for the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to save a life.
"Deal! Immediately send over the complete blueprints for the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. I'll arrange for verification!"
Dick's mouth curved into a smile. Eight hundred thousand contribution points, credited.
So, in this world, the speed at which intellectuals make money is comparable to robbing.
"No rush," Dick yawned and said casually, "Send the deposit first, then I'll send over a portion of the blueprints. After confirmation, you can send the final payment."
Despicable woman, do you think I'm a wizard novice?
If I foolishly send over the complete blueprints, what if she looks at them and then says they don't meet the transaction requirements and just cuts the connection?
Now, she's the one waiting to save a life. The advantage is with me, showing complete composure.
