Chapter 123: Sell, Sell, Sell! Entering Saint Domain

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After exchanging polite greetings with each other, both parties went straight to the main subject.

The representative from Lucivia Trade Association, one of the three large trade associations, stood and asked, “Lord Meng Lei, I heard that you had obtained a batch of Bloodthirsty Iron-Crystal Ant magic cores at North River Pass. How many are there specifically?”

Upon hearing the question, everyone else also nodded repeatedly.

They were here specially for that batch of magic cores today. That was a big business transaction, after all. If they could get a bigger share of it, they would definitely earn a hefty sum from it.

Fatty Hart couldn’t help but look at Meng Lei, too.

Meng Lei thought for a moment before he replied, “Including those that I obtained in Magical Beast Forest and those from the two times I fought the ant tide at the Great Dragon Blood Wall, there’s probably a total of 750,000 of them?”

He had never done a detailed count before. However, basing it off his Wealth, the numbers were more or less about there.

Of course, this wasn’t necessarily accurate, either, because, at the same time as his Wealth was continuously increasing, it was also constantly depleting to replenish his stamina, his consumed magic power, and his consumed spiritual power. All of these required spending his Wealth points.

Therefore, one couldn’t calculate the number of magic cores solely based on the amount of riches he had gained. This wasn’t an accurate way of quantification.

The actual quantity definitely exceeded 750,000.

“What? 750,000?”

Everyone’s eyes widened.

Thinking that they found the quantity too low, Meng Lei frowned and said, “I haven’t counted how many there are specifically, either, but there are probably more than 750,000. It’s possible that there are 800,000.”

Hiss...

All 16 commercial representatives sucked in a breath of chilly air. Their eyes subsequently lit up, and they looked at Meng Lei with blazing passion brimming in their eyes. Even if they earned only an additional 100 gold coins from each sixth-grade magic core, 800,000 magic cores would still equate to 80 million gold coins.

That was a profit of 80 million gold coins!

This was definitely a big business transaction for sure!

Besides, a single magic core brought much more profit than just 100 gold coins. If they sold them for a good price, it was possible that they could earn hundreds or even a thousand gold coins from one.

“Lord Meng Lei, the Middles Trade Association is willing to acquire 400,000 magic cores. You can state your price. As long as the price is agreeable, we can transact immediately.”

“400,000? That’s a bold claim! There are only 800,000 magic cores in total. If the Middles Trade Association takes half of it in one go, are the rest of us supposed to go hungry, then?”

“Exactly! I’m not asking for much, just 100,000 magic cores would do. I can offer a price of 11,000 gold coins per magic core. What do you think, Lord Meng Lei?”

“Lord Meng Lei possesses great talent despite his young age and has provided illustrious service by defending the kingdom against the ant tide’s invasion. The Lucivia Trade Association doesn’t wish to take advantage of you, so we offer to purchase each magic core at 13,000 gold coins each...”

The quiet private room immediately turned terribly boisterous. Meng Lei’s one-liner had led all 16 company representatives to enter a purchasing rush.

At the sight of this, Meng Lei instantly realized that he had grossly underestimated these magic cores’ value. 10,000 gold coins per magic core?

That was too cheap!

I’m glad I entrusted this matter to Fatty. If I had done this myself, I would definitely have sold them for cheap for the sake of convenience. Just how much would I have lost if I had done that?

Meng Lei cast an approving glance at Fatty Hart before raising his hand to signal to everyone to calm down. Then, he said with a smile, “Everyone, do listen to what I have to say first. Aside from these 800,000 sixth-grade magic cores, I also have another 40,000 to 50,000 seventh-grade magic cores that I can sell to all of you, too.”

,000 to 50,000 Seventh-Grade magic cores?

None of them could take their eyes off him upon hearing his words.

...

By the time they left Juxian Restaurant, Fatty Hart’s eyes were all red as he looked at Meng Lei. If not for the fact that he didn’t have that kind of power, he would definitely have robbed Meng Lei.

“Old bro, you’ve struck gold! You’ve really struck gold!

“14.7 billion gold coins! That’s a whole 14.7 billion gold coins!

“How is anyone supposed to spend that much money...”

“How to spend it? Just like that, I guess!”

Although Meng Lei looked calm on the outside, he was actually beyond thrilled inwardly. The sale of all the magic cores and carcasses had earned him 14.7 billion gold coins. Adding this to the 5 billion gold coins he already had, his Wealth had gone through an explosive increase to 19.7 billion gold coins.

Let’s take a look at the stats interface.

Host: Meng Lei

Race: Human (Contains Fire Dragon bloodline, Fire Demon bloodline, and Golden Gods-Slaying Ant bloodline)

Wealth: 19,728,925,768 gold coins

Physical Body Constitution: Ninth-Grade Warrior (764,331,943/1,000,000,000)

Spirit: Great Ninth-Grade Magician (1,356,253/1,000,000,000)

Magic Power: Great Ninth-Grade Magician (1,132,358/1,000,000,000)

.7 billion gold coins!

Adding to this the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor carcass, which I can sell for at least 5 billion gold coins, that’s 24.7 billion gold coins.

.7 billion gold coins, you know! It’s enough to push me into the Saint Domain realm!

“Hahaha!”

Immersed in his thoughts, Meng Lei couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter. His uproarious laughter echoed beside Fatty Hart’s ear, making him gnash his teeth. Even his eyes had become red.

“Comparing myself to others only creates unwanted frustrations, indeed!”

Fatty Hart beat his chest and stamped his feet indignantly. “To think that I, Fatty Hart, who possess the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline, am born into an aristocratic Duke family, and have undertaken the best education since I was young! Yet up to this day, I am still penniless and dejected, spending my days waiting for death to befall upon me while depending on my parents for financial support as the days go by!

“But what about you?

“You’ve become a wealthy billionaire for some strange reason! The heavens are so unfair!”

Meng Lei burst into a fit of sneaky laughter. “Fatty! There’s something else that I haven’t told you yet. If you knew about it, you might just beat me up.”

“What is it?” asked a surprised Fatty Hart.

“When I was training in Magical Beast Forest, I accidentally found a Saint Domain Magical Beast carcass. According to initial estimates, it can probably sell for a few billion gold coins?”

Meng Lei didn’t forget to rub salt into Fatty Hart’s wounds.

“A S-saint Domain Magical Beast carcass? Accidentally... found?” Fatty Hart’s eyes widened big and round as he exclaimed, “Are you serious!?”

“Yes, I am!” Meng Lei had never discovered in the past that Fatty Hart’s eyes could actually widen that big.

“What the f*ck?” Fatty Hart jumped into the air at once.

“Wahahaha...”

...

The night passed peacefully.

Early the next morning, Meng Lei headed to the library as usual and continued to study thunder-elemental, earth-elemental, and wood-elemental Dragon-Language Magic. As for the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor carcass’ sale, he entrusted it to Fatty Hart as usual.

Although that guy was close to being burned into ashes by the blazing fires of jealousy when Meng Lei took out a supreme, luxurious reward of a one million gold coins red packet1, Fatty Hart’s fires of jealousy were extinguished right away.

Fatty Hart suggested that a priceless treasure like a Saint Domain Magical Beast carcass absolutely mustn’t be handled so casually like the sale of magic cores. They should contact even more and even richer buyers.

Therefore, the best way to go about it was... an auction.

Meng Lei agreed readily to the suggestion. He entrusted the task of contacting the auction house to Fatty Hart while he continued over to the library.

In the evening, Fatty Hart contacted him again and informed him that he was done contacting the auction house. Meng Lei hurried over to the auction house at once and took out the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor carcass.

Dozens of meters tall!

Blood-red in color all over!

Savage aura spilling forth!

The moment the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor carcass made its appearance, everyone was astounded. Its bloodthirsty, savage outward appearance and heinous, fearsome visage caused chills to run down everyone’s spines.

“An imposing aura and a body size like that!

“There’s no mistake about it. It’s definitely a Saint Domain Magical Beast!

“Oh my goodness. It really is a Saint Domain Magical Beast!”

The auction house’s relevant person-in-charge immediately made the judgment that it was indeed a Saint Domain Magical Beast. Upon which, he informed Meng Lei that they required a few days’ time to carry out some advertising, so as to encourage a higher winning price.

Toward this, Meng Lei had no objections.

After the initial advertising period of ten days, the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor carcass’ auction successfully commenced. Then, with many experts, nobles, high-ranking officials, and wealthy tycoons as witnesses, the auction ended at an astronomical price of 6.8 billion gold coins.

After deducting the 10% auction fee and processing fee, Meng Lei earned a hefty net profit of 6.1 billion gold coins.

.7 billion + 6.1 billion = 25.8 billion!

Meng Lei’s Wealth had reached an astounding 25.8 billion gold coins and achieved unprecedented heights.

.58 billion Stat Attribute Points!

That’s enough for me to step into the Saint Domain realm now. Although I’ll only be a pseudo-Saint Domain, it’s still Saint Domain, nevertheless, right? Wahahaha!
