Book 4: Chapter 57: Chen Heng Becomes Wealthy Overnight
He Who Knows Fate: The most important thing is that the association’s store does not have a sell function, so the best way to maximize the benefits of these medicinal pills is to trade with people outside the association. As for the people within the association, they probably would not think much of these medicinal pills, given the good things in the association.
Queen of Ice and Snow: The lack of a sell function in the association’s store is quite upsetting. I have looked up information on systems. Those systems have a sell function.
Lord of the White Night: If only there were a sell function. How great would that be? Putting others aside, if the association’s store had a sell function, I would top up my account with 1,000,000 points.
Iron Fist Teacher: It’s a powerhouse. Just kill me.
Efreet: I recall Lord of the White Night’s world has all sorts of Gifts, right? If they can be sold, those things should be quite valuable.
[TL Note: Gifts are the special abilities in Mondaiji tachi ga Isekai Kara Kuru Sō Desu yo? or Problem Children Are Coming from Another World, Aren’t They? Here is more information: /wiki/Category:Gift.]
Lord of the White Night: That’s right. Right now, I don’t even want to awaken my abilities without sufficient points on hand.
Solomon: Lord of the White Night, you haven’t undergone the ability awakening yet?
Lord of the White Night: Not yet. I plan to accumulate over 1,000,000 points first, then use the ability second, third, and fourth awakenings together. That way would significantly help the recovery of my strength. Of course, it would be best to retrieve my Spiritual Essence first.
[TL Note: Spiritual Essence—also known as Spiritual Status, Existence, or Spiritual Power—is the main power source in the Lord of the White Night’s world, and the amount determines the rank of the lifeform. I found it hard to find an official or common translation for this series as of the time of translating this, and I suspect that this term might not be locked down yet. Here is more information on Spiritual Essence: /wiki/User_blog:Mugen_no_Setsuna/Terminologies#Spiritual_Essence_and_Divinity.]
He Who Knows Fate: Speaking of ability awakening, it is about time for me to undergo mine. I could have done it in my world, before coming to Kal’tsit’s world. However, I never found time.
Kal’tsit: There’s no problem with awakening your abilities in this world. Just find a remote place. Don’t do it in Rhodes Island. It will cause too big a commotion.
He Who Knows Fate: Ok.
He Who Knows Fate: By the way, are you all interested in immortal cultivation techniques? Or any medicinal pills? Although the quality of these medicinal pills is not as good as the association’s, they are cheap.
Iron Fist Teacher: Medicinal pills…is there any that can lengthen lifespan? I would like to buy a few for my family.
He Who Knows Fate: There is. Why wouldn’t there be? There are many medicinal pills. While there may not be many of other kinds of medicinal pills, there are definitely plenty of medicinal pills for increasing lifespan or extending life. Furthermore, medicinal pills for ordinary people are easy to concoct. This was an important source of income for cultivators in the past. Do you want a few? The ones for ordinary people are 100 points a pill, but I don’t know how much lifespan they will add.
Iron Fist Teacher: Give me three, then.
Umaru-chan: I want it too! Give me three.
God Sai: I want it too, also three.
I Have a Strong Presence: Two.
He Who Knows Fate: Alright, don’t worry. This medicinal pill can not only extend lifespan but also repair some old injuries. It is definitely worth it.
Chen Heng immediately sent red packets containing medicinal pills to the people who ordered them. Simultaneously, he received his payment in points.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Large-scale street vending.
Solomon: How envious.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: I do have things that can extend lifespan, but they are not like Chen Heng’s medicinal pills, which are suitable for ordinary people.
Queen of Ice and Snow: However, everyone is buying them for ordinary people.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Never mind. I don’t really care for these points. Giving the family of the other members some protection—Chen Heng’s idea is quite good.
He Who Knows Fate: Does anyone want cultivation techniques?
Iron Fist Teacher: I’ll pass. Cultivation takes too much time. It is not as quick as improving my ability.
He Who Knows Fate: This is true, but abilities have a flaw that is not really a flaw. There is no stable pathway for improving them. However, the Will Energy cultivation methods provided by the association’s store would be a pretty good solution.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Give me a copy. I’m quite curious about the immortal cultivation techniques of your world.
Queen of Ice and Snow: Give me one copy too.
Lord of the White Night: +1
Efreet: Have you noticed Chen Heng sold the lifespan-increasing pills to those who are not very strong and have families who are ordinary people? Those that buy the immortal cultivation techniques are the powerhouses. Chen Heng has cornered the market.
He Who Knows Fate: I have the Void Arts, the Profound Spirit Sutra, the Golden Crow Solar Refinement Scripture…which one do you want? Never mind. I’ll place them all in the store. You can just get what you want.
Chen Heng placed the ten-odd immortal cultivation techniques he had in his spatial storage into the store, pricing them at 20,000 points each.
Chen Feng felt that this price was already very reasonable. After all, these were cultivation techniques to become immortals, the kind that could explode planets and stars.
Chen Heng thought about it. Probably only Shiroyasha could cause such damage.
Even Saiki Kusuo would be hard-pressed to do so. Saiki Kusuo was strong, but his ability to change the world was not purely destructive. He could easily destroy the world, but Chen Heng doubted whether he could explode a star.
As for Yakumo Yukari, practically no one could defeat her in her world, but it was still impossible for her to explode the Earth. Just the moon would already be challenging.
Furthermore, Yakumo Yukari’s ability lay in changing the world, not destruction. Chen Heng just didn’t know how strong she would be after she awakened her ability.
That level of damage was even more impossible for Skadi. Even Demon God King Goetia had to rely on the Human Order Incineration Ritual to try to get rid of humans, still far short of the level of exploding a star, what more Skadi? From this perspective, the peak of the Fate worlds’ destructive might was not that high. These people had focused their abilities on humanity. While there were Noble Phantasms that targeted stars, they were heavily limited.
Most importantly, Gaia and Alaya—the two suppressive forces of the world—would not permit existences that could explode stars.
Thus, 20,000 points for an immortal cultivation technique was already a friendship price, a considerable discount that was practically selling at a loss.
Chen Heng also discovered a benefit of the store. Placing these cultivation techniques in the store did not drain the Spiritual Energy in the jade strips, which meant he maintained the jade strips’ service life.
Chen Heng did not place only cultivation techniques that could make one an immortal. He also listed several low-grade cultivation techniques. Although these could not make one an immortal, they were cheap. He had prepared these for newcomers with few points. He did this because he suddenly had an idea. Since he could sell medicinal pills for extending lifespan, why couldn’t he sell cultivation techniques that could extend lifespan?
In the end, he listed the cultivation techniques leading to immortality at 20,000 points, those that did not at 2,000 points, and some outstanding martial arts manuals at 200 points.
Soon, Chen Heng saw his points increase by 72,000 points from the sales of three immortal cultivation techniques, five regular cultivation techniques, and ten martial art manuals.
