Chapter 1011: Chapter 1011: Liang Pu
The Blue Sea Tribe member looked at Lan Xuanyu with some caution, but wasn’t blinded by greed. In a low voice, he said, “Follow me.” As he spoke, he took the lead and headed outside.
Lan Xuanyu said, “I still have a few companions. They’re all members of our tribe, so it’s okay for them to follow, right?”
Upon hearing this, the Blue Sea Tribe member actually seemed to relax a bit. He had noticed the members of the Blue Sea Tribe who had been watching them intently from a distance, which is why he had been so cautious. Now that Lan Xuanyu had made it clear, seemingly willing to cooperate, the Blue Sea member felt somewhat reassured. Of course, he didn’t realize that Lan Xuanyu had intentionally allowed him to notice this.
“It’s fine, let them all come. This is Sky Dragon Planet. Powerful members of the Dragon Clan can be found everywhere, so safety is not an issue,” the Blue Sea Tribe member said, as though he was being magnanimous, while seeming to remind Lan Xuanyu of something.
Lan Xuanyu gestured, and his companions quickly gathered, nodding to the Blue Sea Tribe member in turn.
“What should I call you?” the Blue Sea Tribe member asked Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu felt a slight stir in his heart, but still replied, “We all use code names. You can call me Lead Wing.”
“Alright. I’m Liang Pu from Senyu Sea,” Liang Pu said as he tucked the Heavy Silver into his bosom, waved at Lan Xuanyu, and confidently headed in a chosen direction.
Lan Xuanyu and his seven companions followed behind, silently sensing Liang Pu’s spiritual fluctuations. If a person intended to do something, their spiritual fluctuations would be the first to change. If Liang Pu wanted to expose them, such as suddenly shouting in the street, Lan Xuanyu was sure he could stop him immediately.
There were strong individuals amongst the Blue Sea Tribe as well, but this minor mineral trader was certainly not one of them. Subduing him would be a mere matter of lifting a hand.
Liang Pu showed no intention of exposing them and after taking them through several streets and alleys, soon arrived at a place similar to a human hotel. Leading the seven of them upstairs, they entered a room.
The room was spacious, an entire open area, with no apparent divisions for bedrooms or living rooms. The floor of the open space was covered with thick furs, exuding a strange smell, probably intended for sleeping.
In the wide hall, there were stumps resembling tree roots. Liang Pu said, “Please, have a seat.” As he spoke, he pressed something on the wall, and suddenly, lights came on, the surroundings dimmed, and the windows turned pitch black. They could also feel a faint energy blocking the outside—it must be a sound barrier system.
They have such a setup here?
Despite his curiosity, Lan Xuanyu did not ask further.
However, Liang Pu provided an explanation, “This place is specially for us traders to stay. The rooms have a sound barrier system. It can prevent sound from leaking out and guarantees no surveillance devices. Many of our trades are privately conducted here.”
With Liang Pu’s explanation, Lan Xuanyu and his companions understood that in Fenglong City, not all trades were conducted through the trade center. Many traders from various planets also conducted private deals to obtain the resources they desired.
This kind of trading was not prohibited by Sky Dragon Planet; in fact, it was somewhat encouraged. This practice was very clever, making Sky Dragon Planet a paradise for mineral and resource trading. Fenglong City was the second most important trading locale on Sky Dragon Planet, after Sky Dragon City itself.
The hotel they were in was specially used for such private trades. And someone like Lan Xuanyu, actively seeking trades, was very common here. Furthermore, being of the same tribe, Liang Pu did not harbor much suspicion towards them. Having more people wasn’t an issue.
One reason was the good security here; the other was the trust provided by their tribal kinship. In the eyes of traders like Liang Pu, those who came here to trade were all in pursuit of profit. Who would engage in actions that harmed others without benefiting themselves! If violence erupted here and they were caught, their fate was sealed.
After a brief exchange with him, Lan Xuanyu had a much clearer understanding of the situation and felt more confident about it.
“First Wing, how much merchandise do you have? I won’t pry into your sources, but if we’re going to cooperate, I want to be your exclusive seller in the future. Of course, I’ll make sure you’re not shortchanged. We’ll do a seventy-thirty split, you supply the merchandise, and I sell it. Out of the Dragon Horse Coins we get, you take seventy percent, I take thirty. You might think my thirty percent comes easily, but in reality, it’s quite risky. After all, your goods aren’t exactly legitimate. The price I’m giving is the most generous, aiming for an exclusive and long-term partnership.”
Liang Pu was clearly a very shrewd businessman. He laid out his conditions straightforwardly, with a very open attitude, making his intentions quite clear.
The wisdom of the Blue Sea Tribe is not to be underestimated! That was what Lan Xuanyu felt at the moment.
After pondering for a moment, Lan Xuanyu looked up at him and said, “Since we’re the same tribe, I won’t haggle with you. We’ll go by what you said. I can supply the goods exclusively to you in the future. But I have another requirement, since we’re unregistered, I need at least one Sky Dragon Bank account — can you arrange that for me? Otherwise, it’s too inconvenient. I won’t be able to spend the money after we split it.”
Liang Pu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said, “That’s not an issue, I can handle that for you. Do you want one for each of your people?”
Lan Xuanyu shook his head and replied, “No need for that. Too many accounts might invite trouble. Just one is fine, but it must be secure. After all, we need to maintain a long-term cooperation.”
Liang Pu nodded and said, “Okay, just like you said. Give me two days, and I’ll have it ready for you. How much of this product do you have? How will you supply it in the future?”
As he spoke, he took out the piece of Heavy Silver again.
“In the Douluo Federation, forging is divided into different tiers, starting with the lowest tier, hundred-refined, then thousand-refined, and then comes the Spirit Forging you see here,” Lan Xuanyu explained. “Spirit Forging Creation endows metals with life. The next higher level is soul forging, which can even endow metals with a soul, making them seem truly alive. The highest level is known as God Forging. I can’t get God Forging, but I can get soul forging and below. However, I can’t guarantee how much I can get or when I can get it. I can only contact you as soon as I have the goods.”
Liang Pu asked, “How can I be sure that you won’t just trade on your own after you get an account with Sky Dragon Bank?”
Lan Xuanyu candidly replied, “That’s easy, I’ll give you access to my account so you can check every transaction. I can only accept money through one account. If I receive money that’s not from our transactions, you can terminate our cooperation and even expose us. That’s why I only asked you to open one account. Over time, as trust builds, you won’t have to worry. I can also reveal to you that these rare metals, once forged, are the most important resources in the Douluo Federation.”
Liang Pu nodded, “I think I’ve heard of that. But apparently, it requires some technology. Can you get that technology?”
Lan Xuanyu shook his head without hesitation and said, “That’s impossible. It’s a very complex technology, and the risk is too great. I don’t want to die.”
Rare metals for the Dragon Horse Star System are nothing special, just high-end metals, but the technologies like the Single Positive Cycle Source Core are something else entirely — they’re one of the core technologies of the Douluo Federation. And that was something he couldn’t give.
“Alright, let’s leave it at that for now. How much do you have this time?”
Lan Xuanyu thought for a moment, then took out twelve pieces of Spirit Forged metal and one piece of soul forged metal from his Ring of Destiny.
He really had none of the thousand-refined or hundred-refined metals on him. To him, metals of that tier were no longer useful.
Liang Pu’s eyes lit up, nodding at him.
Lan Xuanyu said, “This is it for now. If this transaction goes smoothly and the price is right, I’ll bring the second batch soon. In two days’ time, have the account set up for us and deposit the Dragon Horse Coins directly into the account. How’s that?” He didn’t ask for a specific price because he didn’t know how much forged metals should sell for here; asking could likely expose him.
