The night grew deeper.

The torch in Karl's hand became the only light.

Joey listened with anticipation to the business Carl was talking about, but Carl's words only made him frown more and more.

"Sorry, Carl, please forgive me for interrupting you, but I really don't want to waste any more of your breath. I'm afraid I really can't do the business you're talking about!"

Are you kidding me? The business Carl was talking about was actually rescuing all the Draenei from the Tobacco Fields. Joey just came to the Tobacco Fields to lay low and focus on his smelting business, he didn't want to get into this mess.

"Dear Joey, I know this is a very unreasonable request, but I really have no other choice!"

“These tobacco fields all belong to Leggins’ people. It’s so rare to see you here today. On behalf of my people, I implore you for your help!”

When Carl saw that Joey had interrupted him and expressed his unwillingness to help, his tone immediately became humble.

“Dear Karl, it’s not that I’m unwilling to help, it’s just that my abilities are limited. There are at least a hundred Draenei here, how am I supposed to get you out of here?”

Joey was indeed in a dilemma. Although he was not a kind-hearted person, his consistent approach was to help others if he could, provided it did not endanger his own safety, but he would never do anything if the risks far outweighed the benefits.

He could sit still and watch others die.

There were many Draenei, and they were all wearing iron rings. Leggins spent every day in the tobacco fields, and he didn't think he had any magical powers to make them disappear into thin air.

No, it seems I really do possess this divine magic; the tunnel I dug myself seems to work.

Hehe, I never thought I actually had a knack for business, that I'd already taken the lead in paving the way for future business ventures.

"Ahem, well... Karl, I mean, what's my reward for helping you guys?"

"You know, this is quite risky!"

"Of course, I mean if. If I really help you, you should at least show some appreciation, right?"

Joey thought about the tunnel he was digging, and his eyes lit up. He decided that this business deal was worth discussing first.

Upon hearing Joey's sudden change in attitude, Carl quickly continued speaking, finishing what he hadn't yet said.

"Great traveler, Joey, the holy light of the Naaru will surely protect your kind heart!"

Upon hearing Carl's reply, Joey's initial excitement instantly turned to cold.

After all this time, could he be a missionary? He worships the God of Wealth and has no intention of changing his faith. He thinks that some kind of Naru Holy Light is less practical than gold coins.

Carl noticed the change in Joey's expression and quickly continued.

"The light of the Naaru gradually dimmed after it came to this planet, but our hope has not been extinguished, and the wisdom that the Naaru originally bestowed upon us still exists!"

"We possess the wisdom of the Naaru and advanced technology to enrich your knowledge; you will also become a respected member of the Draenei people, and we will be able to protect you when you encounter difficulties!"

Joey was already rolling her eyes. What was all this nonsense?

Knowledge? I'm a modern person from the 21st century with four qualities. I even know a little about atomic bombs. Why would I need you Naru gods to teach me?

You even sheltered me? If you Draenei were truly so powerful, you wouldn't be exiled on this planet, trapped in a tiny sandstone city, working for free. You're a disgrace to us working people.

"Um... Carl, can we get something more concrete? I don't really like those empty promises, they're too mentally taxing!"

Joey felt it was necessary to remind Carl, lest he go further down the wrong path.

"Something tangible?"

"Take antique paintings, for example. If you really don't have anything left by your ancestors Naru besides the Holy Light, you can quote a price in gold coins!"

"But we have no gold coins. Leakins gave us no gold coins except to feed us!"

Damn it, this Carl doesn't seem to be a good businessman. He's nowhere near as good as Leigh Kings!

It looked like the deal was going to fall through, and Joey was getting impatient. He raised his right hand and started picking at his ear out of boredom.

Although Carl wasn't a shrewd businessman, he belatedly understood what Joey meant when he saw Joey's expression.

"In that case, if you can only rescue us all, the spaceship we came here on will be yours!"

Carl seemed to have made up his mind, and said firmly.

"spaceship?"

Joey was immediately excited; he hadn't expected that such high-end goods were available.

Joey, who had only ever seen airships in this other world, was pleasantly surprised to suddenly hear the word "spaceship," feeling that it was a product of a civilization from a completely different dimension.

Joey's mind was already filled with images from Star Wars.

"Yes, the spaceship is the one we used to escape from our home planet. There aren't many of them left on this planet!"

"Although the technology to build spaceships still exists, this planet lacks many essential materials, making it impossible to build them again!"

Seeing that Joey was very interested in the spaceship, Carl seized the opportunity to give him a further introduction.

This is great, this is great, we absolutely need this!

Joey felt a surge of secret delight; he couldn't miss out on such a rare find.

“Oh, dear Karl, I think the Naaru you mentioned must have appeared to us!”
