Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 196: Rich Woman Spending Money
There are six pages of diary, two of which are duplicates of diaries submitted by other people before.

This is inevitable unless the members of the Tarot Club actually learn simplified Chinese, which is impossible.

Three of the remaining four pages were worthless. Most of them belonged to the period when Roselle lost his ideals and became obsessed with money. The entire page was filled with sentences like "What I invented today", "What I plan to invent tomorrow", "How many gold coins were sold", and "How much investment was received". Klein almost couldn't control his expression and just wanted to slap these diaries in Roselle's face.

Great Emperor, oh great Emperor! How could you be so depraved?
Thinking about money all day long is vulgar! Too vulgar! Too vulgar!
Can't you be a little more motivated like me?
After severely criticizing Emperor Roselle in his heart, Klein looked at the last page of the diary:
"On November 11, Singles' Day, I finally convinced the Church of the Eternal Sun to let me enter the painting world again."

"It's amazing! Every time I enter the painting world, I am amazed. If the Church of the Eternal Sun hadn't told me, I would have thought this was the Kingdom of the Eternal Sun! Overall, this experience is precious."

"And I also got a piece of information from Ai Fu of the Eternal Blazing Sun Church: For Beyonders from other churches and other paths, they are just tourists who come to visit. Entering the painting world is just for fun. It can only be regarded as a relatively novel experience. But for the believers of the Eternal Blazing Sun, this is like a miracle!"

"It's a pity that I'm not a Beyonder from the Path of the Singer. I'm just the tourist she mentioned. Damn! Why doesn't the Church of Steam have its own painting world?"

"What a shame, what a shame! If I had known earlier, I would have chosen the Church of the Eternal Sun instead of the Church of the Steam! I regret it so much! Is it too late for me to apostatize now?"

Klein's mouth twitched. Emperor, you are not loyal!
As if he had predicted the reader's reaction, the emperor defended himself in his diary:
"Loyalty? Can loyalty be eaten?"

"But actually, joining the Church of the Eternal Sun is not considered betrayal. After all, the Emperor is the sun!"

"If changing the pathway at will would not lead to loss of control, I would really like to drink a potion of the 'Singer' pathway now!"

"It hurts, it hurts so much! The path of the universalist! Not even dogs would choose it!!!"

Based on his previous reading of the diary, Klein could already vaguely see how shameless Emperor Roselle was. Therefore, he was not surprised by his attitude in the diary. The only thing that made him a little itchy was what magical use the painting world had.
Although the emperor has no moral integrity, he would not casually say something like "apostasy".

What kind of benefit could make him think of betraying the Steam Church?

What does that painting world mean to the extraordinary people of the "Singer" path?
Could it be that it is like the paradise in the fairy tale novels, with more abundant "spiritual energy" than the outside world, which can speed up the pace of cultivation?

But this is not right. The advancement of extraordinary people depends on digesting and playing magic potions. I have never heard of anyone becoming stronger by "absorbing" the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After all, this world should not have the "martial arts" mentioned in novels.

Even if there really is one, it certainly cannot be compared with the Extraordinary Ones.

If this is the case, what kind of magical uses does this "paradise" have?

Klein felt somewhat helpless. Russell always only spoke half of the sentences in his diary, so he had to fill in most of the information in his mind.

Of course, it is possible that important content is recorded on the next page of this diary, but unfortunately, the Tarot Club members do not have a complete diary. Almost every page of the submitted diary is scattered, and it is rare for two adjacent pages to appear at the same time.

Klein collected his thoughts, made the paper in his hand disappear, leaned back and said:

"You can start now."

The Hanged Man Alger glanced at Mr. Vampire and spoke first:

"Do you still want the inheritance of that blood baron? 4500 pounds, this is the best price I have negotiated for you."

In fact, the pirate was willing to sell it for 3200 pounds.

But for the newcomers, the Hanged Man felt that they should be given some special care. In addition, Miss Justice no longer needed the fruits of the psychedelic wind chime tree, which made him lose an income for nothing. He must find a way to make up for it from other places.

Emlyn's expression suddenly became distorted.

Although his family were all very good pharmacists and doctors, with a decent annual income and if they lived long enough, they should have been able to save up a considerable fortune, but ever since he became obsessed with dolls, Emlyn could no longer save money and would occasionally take the initiative to order them.

If the value of the dolls is not counted, his savings would be less than 500 pounds. But if he wanted to sell the dolls...

"I, I'll think about it again."

'Moon,' Emlyn said with difficulty.

Do you want a wife or do you want to become stronger? This is a difficult decision.

"Miss Justice."

The Hanged Man looked at Audrey again and said, "The two magical items you commissioned have been completed, a mask and a ring."

"The mask uses the 'Faceless Man' Beyonder characteristic. It allows you to truly change your appearance and master four Beyonder abilities: flame manipulation, flame jumping, damage transfer, and danger intuition. It improves your balance and agility. It looks like a silver-white mask, a hat, and earrings. It can change its appearance, and you can name it."

"Of course, it also has its own small flaws. When you wear it, your emotions will be amplified. You must know how to control yourself, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble."

"And that ring uses the extraordinary ability of the 'Magician'. It possesses almost all of the extraordinary abilities of the 'Magician'. In addition to controlling fire, fire jumping, damage transfer, and danger intuition, it also possesses the extraordinary abilities of 'Paper Man Substitute', 'Bone Softening', and 'Air Bullet'..."

The Hanged Man explained in detail the abilities and side effects of the two magical items, and finally paused before slowly speaking:

"The total cost of making these two magical items is 1200 pounds."

Audrey nodded lightly and asked:

"Mr. 'The Hanged Man', including the 200-pound reward, I will give you a total of 1400 pounds, is that ok?"

"can."

The Hanged Man nodded slightly, not doubting Miss Justice's credibility. In fact, since he was an acquaintance, he could get a friendly price from the craftsman. So the craftsman's production cost was actually only 800 pounds, which means he could make a net profit of 600 pounds.

As for the extraordinary properties required for production, they were all provided by the World, and Miss Justice paid a total of 6000 pounds for it.

The magical items made with the Faceless Man Beyonder characteristic were what Audrey needed, and the Magician Beyonder characteristic was for Hibbert. This Beyonder characteristic was originally intended for Hibbert to be promoted, but considering Hibbert's progress in digesting it, it would take at least half a year for him to be promoted to a Sequence 7 Magician.

Instead of leaving it in the warehouse for half a year, it was better to make it into a magical item and give it to Hibbert. As for the extraordinary characteristics required for promotion, they can be collected separately in this half year. If it really doesn't work, you can also ask Yu Jin for help to restore this magical item to extraordinary characteristics.

The Hanged Man continued:

"In addition, I have contacted some sellers. They are willing to sell the extraordinary properties and extraordinary materials they have. The total value is about 20,000 pounds..."

Audrey immediately understood and smiled:
"Mr. The Hanged Man, I will pass on the twenty-two thousand gold pounds to you through Mr. The Fool after the party. But please make sure that these extraordinary materials are not overpriced too much. I believe that Mr. The Hanged Man can do this with his rich experience."

"Okay." The Hanged Man nodded without hesitation and said, "I have a huge demand, so they will give me the best price. They will usually deal with it at the lowest price."

Although he liked to charge a premium to make a profit, he did not hesitate at all in response to Miss Justice's request. It was impossible for him to be charged a premium by others, not in this life! He was the only one who charged a premium to others, so how could others charge him a premium?

As for whether he would take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit from the price difference, in other matters, such as the production of magical items, he would definitely make a profit from the price difference. But for big customers like Miss Justice, in order to ensure sustainable development, The Hanged Man is not prepared to charge too much premium.

For example, a Sequence 8 Beyonder characteristic normally costs only 600 pounds, so even if he overpaid, it would not exceed 630 pounds. After all, if the overpayment was too high, Miss Justice would be dissatisfied and would no longer give him such a good thing, which would cut off his own financial resources. In addition, this would also make him look greedy in the eyes of other members of the Tarot Club.

Once he is labeled, he will inevitably be isolated by other members. This is undoubtedly difficult for the "Hanged Man" to accept. He will not give up his position and future in the Tarot Club for a little profit.

Moreover, he said that the materials were worth 2000 gold coins, but Miss Justice said she would pay 5 pounds, so the 10 pounds was undoubtedly his reward. This was different from the originally agreed %, this was % of the total value!

Obviously, Miss Justice was actively raising the reward. This was in line with Miss Justice's character - she was not short of money. Last time, she only gave 5% of the reward, probably because the other party's behavior did not originally have the family's permission and commitment, so she did not dare to give too high a reward.

This time, the company took the initiative to raise the price, which obviously showed that it had the full support of the family and did not need to worry about money.

"Miss Justice."

With the demonstration of the Hanged Man, Fors also said, "I have a batch of low-sequence Beyonder materials and Beyonder characteristics of the Apprentice pathway, with a total value of about 10,000 pounds."

Justice also quickly replied:

"I will pass on 11,000 pounds to you through Mr. Fool, okay?"

"Okay." Fors nodded slightly, without any objection.

Little 'Sun' also said sincerely:
"Ms. Justice, I have compiled a list of monsters in the area near Silver City. You can take a look to see if there is anything you need."

What a down-to-earth child... Almost all members of the Tarot Club had this thought at the same time.

Audrey felt that she had grown a lot after joining the Tarot Club for such a long time. Only Mr. Sun was still naive. You should know that this list itself was worth a lot of money, but he just gave it away for free. More importantly, the Silver City area where Mr. Sun was located was in the God-forsaken Land, and there was no use for these gold pounds!
Seeing that the time was almost right, Klein manipulated the World and said hoarsely:

"Mr. Lover, did you gain anything from the underground ruins I asked you to explore?"

"Underground ruins?"

The attention of other members of the Tarot Club was instantly drawn to him, and they were all extremely curious.

The underground ruins that can be explored by the "lover" in person must be very important. I wonder what secrets are hidden in them?
Yu Jin shook his head and said:

"When I arrived at the underground ruins last night, the evil spirit you mentioned had already escaped, and someone was secretly helping him."

"last night?"

Audrey blinked. Wasn't Yu Jin with her last night? They were clearly enjoying a dinner together in their luxurious villa. Did they use teleportation to leave? Hmm, teleportation is really convenient!

"really."

Klein frowned slightly, but he wasn't too surprised by what happened.

Someone had interfered with his memory of the underground ruins, and must have wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do something to him. Even though he had reacted in time, the other party had obviously accomplished his goal, and the escape of the evil spirit might just be the beginning.

Klein put away his thoughts and controlled the World and said solemnly:

"I also had some trouble in Bansi last night."

"The ancient customs of Bansy Harbor have revived. Some residents have become cultists, and even the bishop of the Storm Church has fallen. The Punishers, priests, and servants of the Storm Church in the local church were all skinned by the bishop. In some evil ritual, their bodies and heads were turned into undead monsters, and their skins were sewn into a human skin robe. The bishop seems to be a member of the 'God Skin Messenger'."

"And the bishop himself also gained great benefits from this ritual. Although he is only at the Sequence 6 level, his strength is comparable to that of a Sequence 5."

"Although the matter has been resolved, it caused considerable casualties. Mr. 'Lover', do you have any clues?"

"Mr. World on Bansi Island? The evil ritual of skinning?"

Audrey shuddered. The word "skinning" made her feel uncomfortable, not to mention that it was a cult ritual? And this divine skin messenger was undoubtedly the evil organization that caused the bishop's fall. Just hearing it made people feel uncomfortable...
