Chapter 567: Chapter 407: The Request of the Two People
"A new channel for consumption?"
Hearing Dong Tianyu ask this, Ye Liuyun next to him began to explain, "The latest achievements of the scientific research institute in Kyoto can refine gold and silver to obtain Refined Gold and Mithril, two metals with extremely strong energy transmission capabilities.
These metals can be used to construct energy transmission channels in weapons, allowing them to have special abilities like magical items, only differently, they don’t require vitality to use.
Weapons that incorporate Refined Gold or Mithril simply consume the Martial Artist’s Inner Breath when used."
Hearing Ye Liuyun say this, Dong Tianyu instantly realized, wasn’t this just like the high-grade ores in games?
Humans have also discovered many previously undiscovered ore deposits in the wild, these deposits, once refined, yield metals that were non-existent before the disaster, and these metals generally have good conductive properties.
However, although many places have discovered different types of ore deposits, the vast majority of these reserves are insufficient, leading to a significant shortfall for humans regarding these newly appeared ore deposits.
The Refined Gold and Mithril obtained by refining gold and silver also serve to effectively bridge some of the gaps in the demand for energy metals.
Yet Dong Tianyu was not satisfied, after all, although Refined Gold and Mithril could be obtained by refining gold and silver, these two things did not enhance the upgrade progress of the Cave.
To rapidly enhance the upgrade progress of the Cave, it was essential to obtain naturally occurring ores with energy.
But Dong Tianyu was very self-aware; relying solely on the Cave’s ordinary agricultural products, it was almost impossible to trade for those precious ores. However, now that gold and silver had regained their currency status, he could use some more roundabout methods to purchase those special items.
Dong Tianyu had quickly grasped the key points, so regarding the amount of materials the two suggested trading, as long as it was not excessive, he had simply agreed to go with the flow.
Dong Tianyu saw the items Ye Liuyun was preparing to buy this time; although the quality was not very good, judging by the quantity alone, Ye Liuyun had definitely made a huge investment. Thinking of this, Dong Tianyu teased Ye Liuyun, "Madeline, impressive, you’ve only been in Kyoto for a few days, and you’ve already established a new sales channel like this?"
Hearing Dong Tianyu ask this, Ye Liuyun smiled and explained, "I’ve actually always had channels here in Kyoto. Before the disaster, it was fine since Pengcheng had flights to all over the country every day, so before the disaster, my frequency of flying was pretty much the same as an ordinary person commuting to work by bus.
In fact, rather than saying that I established a new sales channel, it’s more accurate to say that I reconnected the sales channel from before the disaster."
After finishing their business, the three chatted idly for a while before Yara and Ye Liuyun said their goodbyes and left together.
Watching the two depart, Dong Tianyu was thinking that if the situation in Saxon County was due to insufficient forces, hence they were eager to pull everyone together for defense at the slightest incident,
Then the situation in Kyoto was the complete opposite of that in Saxon County. Inside the city of Kyoto, one was basically safe from any significant danger.
The sensation of division between the City Center and the outskirts was stark; if the outskirts were a dirty and chaotic gutter, then the City Center was much better, at least one wouldn’t encounter people littering everywhere.
This was why, despite the Bug Race’s continuous assaults on the suburbs, they still had not breached the defenses; although occasionally a few Soldier Bugs managed to penetrate, a few isolated Soldier Bugs couldn’t pose too great a threat to the City Center.
At the moment, Dong Tianyu was clear that the Imperial Court’s soldiers were engaged in a ferocious battle with the vanguard of the Soldier Bugs, yet life within the city continued in peace and tranquility. The occasional piece of news from outside the city barely caught anyone’s attention.
To this day, Dong Tianyu had not understood the thoughts of the Imperial Court; information barriers that would be nonexistent in a small city had strangely been erected in Kyoto.
Just as Dong Tianyu was pondering these things, Yara and Ye Liuyun came back again. Seeing the two always together, Dong Tianyu joked, "You two sticking together every day like this, you’re sure to be thriving and prosperous in the future!" After saying that, Dong Tianyu gestured a zero with one hand and the character ’one’ with the other.
Hearing Dong Tianyu say this, Yara and Ye Liuyun, seemingly to avoid suspicion, sat down on either side of Dong Tianyu.
"So tell me, what brings you two here again?"
Hearing Dong Tianyu ask this, Yara quickly spoke up, "We came to ask you for a favor?"
Hearing Yara speak, Dong Tianyu continued to inquire in an unhurried manner, "What favor? I should say upfront, if it’s too difficult, I cannot and am not able to help."
When Ye Liuyun heard Dong Tianyu’s implied refusal, she spoke up to mediate, "Don’t say it like that, we just want to ask you to leave the city for a bit."
When Ye Liuyun paused intentionally, seeing that Dong Tianyu did not curiously press for more information, Ye Liuyun felt somewhat speechless, as her behavior now required someone to play along for her to continue the act; without cooperation, it would be as awkward as it was at that moment.
Seeing that the atmosphere had become somewhat silent, Dong Tianyu outright said, "Alright, enough with that, just tell me what it is, no need to beat around the bush."
