Chapter 9 Transactions



Then Tuguan threw the worm into the open space behind, or to be more precise, that was where he was going to dig the foundation for a new building.

Next, he began the summoning ceremony... and found a group of suckers to help him dig the foundation. Everything was so flawless!

Hearing this, Du Yuqi couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then couldn't help but say:

"How much does it cost to hire someone to dig the foundation? His sacrifice would probably cost ten times as much as a builder to summon ten people to help him dig the foundation."

Bwant Road:

"My people just happened to come to Huttonmar not long ago. The continent seems to be a little uneasy recently. There are often reports of various mutant creatures appearing and attacking people. There was even a phenomenon of trade being cut off. The problem is that once the army goes there, they can't find the cause. After killing those mutant creatures, they will appear again after a while."

"A transportation hub city like Hedonmar relies on smooth roads and a steady flow of goods. Once problems arise on the roads that extend in all directions, the decline of the city will be accelerated. Therefore, the municipal government has specially allocated funds to build fixed post houses at regular intervals on the road, which can effectively protect the safety of the caravans."

"It is precisely because of this that the prices of construction workers and building materials in Huttonmar have skyrocketed. This is also the reason why the earthenware pots have to collect all the excavated soil. Therefore, the cost of construction workers has been rising."

After listening to Buwant's explanation, Du Yuqi still found it hard to accept, but then he heard Buwant say:

"The increase in construction costs is one reason. The identity of Tuguan is very mysterious. He comes from an ancient family, so his offerings to the God of Contract have been accumulated over a long period of time. Therefore, high-level believers like him have the privilege of offering sacrifices without the need for spellcasting materials several times a year, and there is a time limit."

"For a large-scale sacrificial summon like this, if it requires related casting materials, it will definitely be extremely wasteful. However, if Tu Guan uses this sacrificial privilege that does not require casting materials, then he only needs to take out the sacrifices himself to attract people. What Tu Guan took out was his homemade pocket jar, which has a very low cost. So if you calculate it this way, then of course it is more cost-effective than hiring workers."

Du Yuqi was a little confused at first, but he soon thought of one thing, that is, the last time he sacrificed an item with the power of time, he obtained two response priorities, and there seemed to be no time limit. In this way, a thing like the earthen jar that has been passed down for five generations must have a very rich foundation, and obtaining the privilege of sacrifice without the need for casting materials is not a particularly remarkable thing.

Then Buwant took the initiative to talk about the purpose of his responding to the call this time, which was to deliberately go against Tuguan.

"I usually don't respond to summons. If I hadn't practiced the family's secret method to communicate with the Ice Tooth Clan, I wouldn't even have obtained the qualification to be summoned... Uh, sorry, I've gone too far. The main point is that a month ago, one of my cousins ​​was tricked by this Tujar V. The sacrificial contract said that he was escorting a batch of goods to the west coast, but in fact, because his convoy had an accident, my cousin was asked to pull the cart and trudged through the mud for three days!"

"How can we Bantu people be humiliated like this? That's why I came here specifically to avenge my cousin. Luckily, Tuguan is a smart guy, otherwise, I'll show you how I'll deal with him!"

Du Yuqi was speechless after hearing this. This earthen jar was really cunning. He actually tampered with the summoning of sacrifices and asked people to help him pull the cart... So to speak, it was a blessing in disguise that he encountered this digging job.

At this time, Du Yuqi had already discovered that Buvant was very knowledgeable, so he said that he was summoned from another world and wanted to stay in the continent of Arad for a longer period of time.

Buwant told Du Yuqi that the most difficult and energy-consuming step in summoning is actually the process of opening the plane channel. Even if the summoned creature comes from another world, after passing through the plane channel, it is actually equivalent to being accepted by this plane, and the consumption of staying for one minute or one day is not great.

The time the summoned creature stays in the plane is determined by the rarity of the spell materials consumed by the summoner when offering sacrifices. The more and rarer the spell materials are, the longer the summoned creature can stay.

At the same time, the summoner's position in the God of Contract will also determine how long the summoned creature stays.

Of course, there is another decisive factor, that is the will of the summoner. The summoned creature can obviously stay for three days, but the summoner feels that it is inappropriate and only allows the summoned creature to stay for one minute, so it can only stay for one minute.

Bu Wanga finally told Du Yuqi that there is a saying that goes "acclimatization is not good for the environment". If a person goes to a far place, it is easy to have various problems, not to mention the big environment change between planes? So usually, even if the situation allows, the time to stay in a different plane should not be too long.

After the two talked for a while, Du Yuqi got enough information and had made up his mind. He threw the remaining half pack of cigarettes to Buwant and said he was going for a walk on the street. He probably only walked around for a few minutes, and after passing two shops, he heard Tuguan's voice urging him to go to work.

It turned out that this guy saw that the sun was almost shining at noon, so he impatiently urged the group to continue "looking for monsters". The rest of the people probably understood what this bastard Tuguan wanted to do, but this guy kept bringing up the contract to make things happen. They had a very enjoyable lunch at noon, with wine and meat. With a combination of soft and hard tactics, the minotaurs and goblins, for example, obediently surrendered.

If the people are not united, nothing can be accomplished. So they can only accept it and continue to dig holes honestly. They comfort themselves that they don't have to take any risks in responding to the call this time. As for the energy consumed, it will grow back after a good sleep like the leaves of the thunder tree.

However, now that Du Yuqi understood what Tu Guan wanted to do and learned about the local prices, he naturally would not be stupid enough to dig a pit here. He directly pulled Tu Guan V to a secluded corner and said:

"Dear Mr. Tuguan, I have a suggestion."

Tu Guan looked at Du Yuqi with a vigilant look, as if he was looking at a mouse that had broken into his rice jar. He covered his trouser pockets before saying:

"What do you suggest?"
