Chapter 109: Scheme for Power, Winter’s Trump Card (3)

Now, he had officially stepped into the middle stage of First Rank.
His soul cultivation was a little slow.
This was normal.
After all, the God Apostle realm would cross the First Rank and Second Rank levels.
Lin Chen could also upgrade all the equipment he could use.
Currently, he could not do First Rank crafting.
However, someone had a way.
Winter!
Merchant of the Dragon Spirit Empire.
A pure opportunist.
Lin Chen found Winter and asked him if he had any First Rank equipment design blueprints and top-grade equipment appraisal blueprints.
“City Lord Lin, to be honest, the business exchange meeting 1 discussed with you previously might be delayed indefinitely… Today’s battle will make the situation in Sky Moon City very bad.”
When Winter saw Lin Chen and was asked for these things by Lin Chen, he had a worried expression. He said, “I was wrong this time. 1 didn’t know that City Lord Lin could actually… could actually kill a peak Second Rank with a single strike! That’s the peak of the God Apostle realm. This means that you already have the strength to threaten many people. Now, I’m afraid that the higher-ups won’t treat Sky Moon City well anymore. Therefore, I’m the one who suffered the most this time. 1 might have lost everything by transferring so many things to Sky Moon City!”
Winter was very depressed.
He said that he had misjudged, but it was not that he had misjudged the potential of Sky Moon City.
On the contrary, Sky Moon City’s commercial potential had always been there.
The key was…
Winter himself hadn’t expected anyone to grow so quickly in so short a time.
It was precisely because Lin Chen grew too quickly that the risk assessment of Sky Moon City was infinitely raised.
This was what Winter was most afraid of!
If the risk was high, it meant that the city might not be able to survive.
In that case, wouldn’t all his investments be wasted?
Therefore, when Winter saw Lin Chen now, he was no longer confident. On the contrary, he was very worried.
He would lose everything!
Who knew how many resources he had transferred over because he thought highly of Sky Moon City?
Now, the business had yet to start, and he was about to lose his foundational business.
Lin Chen smiled and said, “Mr. Winter, could it be that you’re too worried? 1 think with the complexity of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom’s politics, it shouldn’t really be unable to accommodate even a small Sky Moon City, right?”
“City Lord Lin, you’re right, but… City Lord Lin, may 1 ask if you have someone in the court who can speak for you, since you killed Wu Xingtian with a single strike and are from the Blue Planet while acting in such a conspicuous manner?” Winter asked.
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment before shaking his head.
Someone in the court?
Where would he get someone from!
“If no one is protecting you, why is City Lord Lin so sure that Sky Moon City won’t be surrounded and attacked?”
As Winter spoke, he picked up the wine glass between the two of them and placed it on the table. “This is His Majesty the King, this is the parliament, and this is the Three Dukes and Thirteen Marquises… City Lord Lin, are you confident that one of these three factions can protect you and Sky Moon City?” “No.” Lin Chen shook his head.
“I’m sorry, but 1 don’t have the ability to help you come into contact with any of these forces…”
Winter expressed his regret. “City Lord Lin, I have everything you want, but I’m afraid you can’t afford the price.”
“Just tell me the price.” Lin Chen’s eyes lit up.
Winter said, “1 can give you 1,000 First Rank crafted equipment design blueprints and 1,000 First Rank top-grade equipment appraisal talismans, but these things are worth 3 billion gold coins… City Lord Lin, can you afford them?”
It was obvious that Winter still did not know Lin Chen’s wealth.
This was normal.
Ever since he came to Sky Moon City, he had been doing business with the residents of Sky Moon City, who were from the Blue Planet.
Most of these people from the Blue Planet relied on mining to earn some gold coins and soul crystals. Everyone needed money to level up, including food and accommodation. They had to be careful with their money. Although the market was good, Winter did not see that they were very rich.
Of course, he thought that Lin Chen should not have much money.
However, Lin Chen smiled and said, “No problem. In addition… I want the Heavenly Palace’s Secret Realm and whatever other good things you have, including special array materials. By the way, 1 want all the crafted equipment design blueprints above Level 120, including the top-grade equipment appraisal talismans. Just name your price!”
“What?”
Winter was shocked!
With the things Lin Chen said he wanted, the price would exceed 10 billion gold coins!
Was Lin Chen rich?
“My wealth will exceed your imagination!” Lin Chen pursed his lips and smiled.
Then, he threw a dimensional storage ring to Winter.
It was densely packed with gold coins!
It was at least… 10 billion!
Then, Lin Chen tossed over another storage ring.
It was filled with soul crystals.
Ordinary ones.
There were also ten million!
“Is it enough? If not, I still have more…” Lin Chen asked calmly.
“Enough, that’s enough!”
Winter said happily, “If 1 had known that you were so rich, City Lord Lin, what would I be worried about?”
“No, you still have to worry. After all, according to what you said, the entire Dragon Spirit Kingdom might be afraid of me now… To be honest, 1 have a huge amount of wealth, but now… 1 might have to run away with this wealth,” Lin Chen said half-convincingly.
He knew that Winter was a very pure businessman.
What was the essence of a pure businessman?
Wealth!
He desired wealth above all!
Now, Lin Chen had displayed his wealth.
That was what he had spent tens of millions of yuan to exchange for before the game invaded. Almost half of the wealth in the game created by players in the entire New World had been accumulated for 20 years!
Lin Chen was very rich!
But now, the Dragon Spirit Kingdom could no longer tolerate him.
Lin Chen expressed that he wanted to escape.
However, facing such a God of Wealth, Winter couldn’t take it anymore. He hurriedly said, “City Lord Lin, I’ll get the things you want to send over now! In addition, City Lord Lin, you actually don’t have to be anxious. 1 have a way on my side. Perhaps 1 can guarantee that your Sky Moon City can escape unscathed from this storm… I wonder if City Lord Lin has heard of Eldest Princess Qingyue?”
“I’ve never heard of it.” Lin Chen shook his head.
“I can help you get in touch with Princess Qingyue. If City Lord Lin can satisfy her, perhaps… she can protect City Lord Lin and the entire Sky Moon City!”
Winter finally revealed one of his trump cards in the Dragon Spirit Kingdom.. “To be honest, the boss behind me is the sister of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom’s king, Eldest Princess Qingyue!”
