Chapter 820: Chapter 820

"They say the price still isn’t enough, they want to add more," came the reply soon after.

"Hmph, he’s certain that I need this world and wants to take advantage by hiking the price. Tell him I’m short on time, and if it’s not for sale, I’ll look for other worlds instead." In reality, if it were possible, Du You would prefer not to enter this world.

Because the power system in this world is completely different from the path he had chosen, it wouldn’t be of much help to him. If he had known it would come to this, he would have started seeking a suitable world much earlier.

Unfortunately, being of common birth, Du You was completely unaware of these matters and had to act hastily in a pinch.

After negotiating for a while, as Lin Yucha began to sound increasingly impatient, the other party finally compromised. After all, exchanging a Mo Dan Amulet was already a huge profit for him, as he usually didn’t have that many.

It was apparent that Du You was truly in a hurry. If he continued to drag his feet, who knew if Du You might suddenly strike a deal with someone else? Being a Planar Hunter required making certain sacrifices at times.

With this equipment, his ability to protect himself would be greatly enhanced, which was tempting indeed.

The transaction went smoothly, as Du You promptly paid the fee and the world coordinates were transferred to him. There was no helping it, he really was in a rush.

"Indeed, having someone negotiate on my behalf has more benefits than doing it myself," Du You acknowledged. Had he gone personally, who knows what other demands might have been made.

However, by not going and letting someone else negotiate, the other party would surely be suspicious and think he had other targets, or perhaps that he was still negotiating the price with others. All of these would put psychological pressure on them.

Before long, the coordinates arrived—a helmet.

"It can only be used once; that means if we can’t get new coordinates, we only have one chance," he mused.

Among the data he had purchased previously, there was a Secret Method for controlling the Derived World included. To dominate a Derived World, one must first bring out its World Origin, to make contact with it.

The best way to do this is to directly subvert that world; the more severe the upheaval, the better.

Since the Derived World naturally cycles through periods of reincarnation, where its inhabitants can revive no matter how many die, Du You wouldn’t feel any guilt. The best course of action would be to go on a killing spree.

"While we still have a little time, let’s check out the advanced materials market."

Since linking with the fourth tier of the Magic Network, this was the first time Du You had brought the two sisters to view it. This was a market created through a special projection method, where seeing these projections was just like seeing the actual items.

After a short walk, Du You and the sisters left the market. There was no choice; the items were indeed expensive.

Each item was priced as a tier-four piece of equipment, at least the kind that was mass-produced, which means they had real value. It was the same for anything desired—far too exorbitant.

"Forget it, it seems that in the future I should also bring some items to this market, perhaps even turn a profit," he concluded.

Being too poor now was tough; it was even more painful if he saw something he needed and couldn’t afford it.

There were hardly any people in the entire market; each shop owner simply left their goods on display with a marked price, waiting for a free trade. Whether or not they successfully made a trade was entirely down to luck.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed. The Law aura around the three of them faded, and Du You nodded to the two of them, then used the helmet. The helmet shattered instantly, followed by the appearance of a vortex.

Having gone through this a few times, Du You and the two sisters were somewhat accustomed to it. When the three reemerged, they found themselves in another world. Not far away was a human town.

Unlike the Western-style towns they had been in contact with all this time, this time it was an ancient, quaint Eastern-style town. While not an art piece of carved beams and painted buildings, it had a unique charm.

"Let’s go, we’ll head inside to find out about the current situation."

The three went straight to an inn, as inns in worlds with Eastern backdrops were the best places for gathering routine information. Not to say anything about the service, but the clerks here were all excellent sources of intelligence.

While they might not know some of the more secretive things, they could usually provide a rough outline of the situation and various tidbits of information. This small town seemed prosperous, with good traffic, so they probably knew even more.

Du You grabbed a handful of the loose silver he had prepared in advance and placed it on the table. Then he ordered food.

"Tell me about the current state of affairs in the world. If you do a good job, all this can be yours," Du You said, putting on the airs of a young master. The clerk’s eyes lit up, mistaking him for a patron who wanted a storyteller.

This wasn’t an unfamiliar job for the clerk, but such generous customers were rare.

"Ah, young master, you’ve certainly come to the right person. Within ten miles and eight villages, I’m the most well-informed. What would you like to hear about?" the clerk answered, his attitude changing dramatically.

As Du You ate, he said, "Just talk about anything; as long as it’s interesting, I’m all ears about the state of affairs under the heavens."

It seems this was a young master who had just left his family. Although such types were rare, they weren’t unheard of. Though the clerk didn’t think much of people like Du You, he decided it was best to serve him well first and foremost.

The clerk then began to ramble on about various topics. Of course, Du You could tell that much of it was illogical, but he could still deduce quite a bit, at least the broad strokes were accurate.

The place where the three of them now were is Liang Country, the largest country in this world. Located to the west, it had the most population and the largest army, suppressing the other two countries.

The other two countries had been almost forced into an alliance due to the pressure. To the northeast was Gu Country, the oldest nation, while to the south was Wu Country, a burgeoning nation said to have the most powerful warriors.

Gu Country and Wu Country maintained close relations through maritime trade along the eastern coast and were well-connected by sea. However, in recent years, as Wu Country’s strength grew, the relationship between the two countries seemed to have become subtle.

If it weren’t for Liang Country’s overwhelming power, the other two countries might have already gone to war. The conflict between Liang Country and the other two was incessant, with regular wars breaking out along the borders.

The strong warriors of this world were known as Tian Gang Martial Artists, said to be able to single-handedly form an army.
