Big Capitalist

Astrid rolled her eyes and feigned helplessness, saying, "It's nothing complicated. Since we're both from the dragon clan, I'm going to lend you a hand and help you become stronger in the dream world."

"Are you so kind?" Bartlett Long's face was full of disbelief, and his tone was full of doubt.

In his opinion, Astrid was not the kind of dragon who would lend a helping hand for no reason.

Astrid spread her paws and said, "Of course I'm not that kind. If I didn't ask for anything and simply offered to help you, you definitely wouldn't accept it. You might even think I had ulterior motives."

Bartlett Long snorted and said, "Then I would suspect that you have a crush on me, or that you want to make some particularly excessive demands."

"You're so shameless!" Astrid's eyes widened in anger. "How could I be interested in something like you? You take yourself too seriously."

Bartlett Long chuckled and said, "That's good. I already have someone I love. My heart is filled with her and there's no room for anyone else."

As he spoke, an expression of being immersed in love involuntarily appeared on his face.

Astrid looked at Bartlett Long, her lips curling up slightly as she laughed inwardly, "This guy has been fooled around by his own apprentice and doesn't even realize he's got a smirk on his face."

Bartlett Long couldn't wait to ask, "How exactly are you going to help me? Stop keeping me in suspense."

Astrid blinked and said seriously, "You just want to become stronger in the dream world. It's actually very simple. Just top up your account."

"Recharge?!" It was the first time that Bartlett Long heard this word, and his face was full of confusion.

"What is recharge?" Bartlett Long asked.

Astrid cleared her throat and explained, "As you know, this time our dragon clan's operation was mainly led by my mother. She helped you a lot in Merlin's dream world."

Bartlett Long nodded in agreement. The magical system panel and the wonderful settings for upgrading and adding points must be the masterpieces of Lady Ysera.

Bartlett Long seemed to have suddenly thought of something and looked at Estrid with burning eyes.

As the daughter of Lady Ysera, she must know some special benefits that none of them knew about, and it was very likely related to this mysterious system.

Astrid continued, "My mother has nearly exhausted our family's wealth in her quest to help the dragons. She has already provided a lot of help in Merlin's dream world. But if we want more help, we can't just rely on my mother's dedication, right?"

Bartlett Long felt that what Estrid said made sense and nodded in agreement.

Astrid then asked, "Do you know about the Resurrection Coin?"

"Resurrection coin?" Bartlett Long looked confused and full of doubts.

Astrid patiently explained, "In Merlin's dream world, if someone unfortunately dies, they will first become a spirit for a short time. After a while, they will be disconnected from Merlin's dream world and leave that world."

Bartlett Long was very familiar with this, after all, he had experienced such embarrassing situations too many times.

Astrid smiled slyly and said, "But if you have a resurrection coin, it will be completely different! With a resurrection coin, you can be resurrected with full health and status, and then continue to challenge and adventure in the dream world."

"There is such a good thing? It must be very expensive, right?" Bartlett Long asked curiously.

Astrid waved her hand and said casually, "This kind of treasure that can directly revive in the dream world is actually not expensive. It only takes one gold coin to buy it."

"One gold coin? So cheap?" Bartlett Long looked at Astrid in shock, unable to believe his ears.

Astrid explained with a smile, "This is a benefit I secured for the dragon clan from my mother, so it's naturally not too expensive."

"Lady Ysera is truly magnificent!" Bartlett Long couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Then he eagerly asked, "How do I purchase it?"

Astrid said, "Just like I mentioned earlier about recharging, you give me the money. Once you enter the dream world, you can directly purchase resurrection coins by calling the system store. Oh, and in the system store, the money you recharge is called points. One gold coin can be exchanged for 100 points, and one resurrection coin is also worth 100 points."

Without a word, Bartlett Long pulled out a handful of gold coins from his space and handed them all to Estrid, saying generously, "Top it up for me."

Astrid took the gold coin, a smile on her face, and promised readily, "No problem."

Bartlett Long thought about the long lines he had to wait in every time to enter Merlin's dream world, which was really torturous. He asked Astrid, "Can I get to Merlin's dream world faster? I have to wait in line for so long every time, it's too torturous."

Astrid said mysteriously, "The passage is so small, so queuing is inevitable. But I have a solution."

"What method?" Bartlett Long's eyes lit up instantly and he looked at Astrid expectantly.

"That means activating the Black Diamond service!" Astrid announced proudly.

"Black Diamond Service? What is that?" Bartlett Long looked at Astrid in astonishment.

"It's the VIP, senior membership that allows you to go to Merlin's dream world!" Astrid explained.

"VIP? Senior member?" Bartlett Long still didn't quite understand.

Astrid began to talk non-stop, "This Black Diamond membership is amazing! Once you activate it, you'll have fast access to Merlin's dream world. You won't have to wait in line like ordinary users."

"This is good!" Bartlett Long was very satisfied after hearing this.

Astrid had to strike while the iron was hot: "Besides that, there's also a certain amount of extra experience points. It's not much, but over time, it can put you one step ahead of others!"

"Wow, that's not bad!" Bartlett Long narrowed his eyes, his heart beating fast.

Astrid continued to tempt him, "Black Diamond users receive a Black Diamond Gift Box every month, which contains resurrection coins, potions, and other practical items. Also, when defeating boss monsters, you're more likely to drop more powerful weapons and armor."

Bartlett Long was completely tempted and said hurriedly, "Get me a black diamond right away. How much does it cost?"

Astrid grinned, revealing a sly look. "It's not expensive. One Dragon Valley Gem can activate a month's worth of Black Diamond service."
