“If you’re a pig, then wouldn’t my father become… ahem…”
May rolled her eyes at Li Tianxiang. However, when she realized that she had said something wrong, she quickly covered it up.
“Warren may be devious, but he would never sell counterfeit goods. It’s better to blatantly ask for money than to cheat you of your money behind your back. He gives you as much service as you want. That’s the code of the gnomes, and why everyone does business with gnomes.”
Li Tianxiang nodded. Simply put, Warren already had a reputation. As he had told Eve before, the most important thing in a deal was the one’s reputation of fairness and integrity.
Once damaged, it was difficult to fix.
However, the opposite was also true. If one demonstrated their fairness and integrity, even if they only sold rubbish in the future, there would definitely be people who would think that it was gold. Of course, unless they were fools, the merchants who had built up their reputation would definitely not do such a thing.
Li Tianxiang nodded and tossed a magic crystal from his pocket to Warren.
“I need some mithril and some customized alchemical equipment.”
Warren flicked his wrist, and the magic crystal disappeared into thin air. Li Tianxiang couldn’t believe his eyes.
After all, according to what he knew, when items related to spatial magic were used in this world, the commotion would be frightening.
Therefore, whether it was the gnomes in the slave market, or the sisters May and Lan, they would think that he was an outstanding figure after seeing him silently throw things into a spatial pocket.
Meanwhile, Warren’s trick was practically magic. However, Li Tianxiang only cared about whether or not he could go back and upgrade his farm. At most, he would simply be amazed by Warren’s performance.
“If you need mithril, the mithril in Noel’s Alchemy Workshop is definitely worth buying. Most importantly, their mithril is extremely pure. Basically, alchemists who extract magical crystals will buy it from them.”
Li Tianxiang looked Warren up and down. He didn’t expect Warren to be able to tell his purpose for buying mithril. This was as expected of a big shot who could do business with all races.
Perhaps the old man noticed the admiration in Li Tianxiang’s eyes. Thus,he became a little proud and spoke while stroking his beard.
“If you need customized alchemical materials, although Agent Wa’s Alchemy Workshop is very famous for its alchemy materials, I still recommend Edison’s Alchemy Workshop. It is obvious that you want to create some uncommon or even unique equipment. In this aspect, Agent Wa’s Alchemy Workshop utilizes assembly line production, so it might not satisfy your needs.”
Was this the service that a magic crystal could buy? If this was not the case, Warren would definitely not follow him back to his farm.
Li Tianxiang even wanted to kidnap him and make him his helper at his farm. In the future, there would be more and more fields, and production would become more and more complicated. Li Tianxiang would probably be in a terrible fix.
This was the perfect candidate for a butler. What a pity.
Li Tianxiang shook his head. Meanwhile, Warren was dumbfounded.
“Are you dissatisfied?”
“No, no.”
Li Tianxiang quickly waved his hand.
“I’m too satisfied, so I regret not having a talent like you to help me manage my farm.”
Warren faltered slightly upon hearing this, and the smile on his face widened even further. After all, he was being praised for his introduction that suited the needs of his customer.
“Although I can’t abandon such a big guild to help you, I think my younger brother must have the personnel that you need. After you’ve fulfilled your needs at the Alchemy Guild, why not go and take a look?”
As Li Tianxiang followed Warren to the street marked with the label “Alchemy Materials”, he asked Warren about Warren’s brother.
“My brother is the manager of the biggest talent market in the market.”
Li Tianxiang was stunned by this title. He then realized that it referred to the slave market and thought of something.
“There’s a gnome from the slave market near the lower district. He’s dressed like you, but he’s a little sloppy…”
“That’s my brother.”
Before Li Tianxiang could finish his description of the old gnome that he previously encountered, Warren interrupted him with a confused look.
“I bought many orcs and a succubus from him.”
Li Tianxiang shrugged his shoulders and found it funny. He felt that this world was really small.
However, Warren’s expression darkened, and he hesitated for a long time before speaking again.
“Respected guest.”
Warren stopped in his tracks and bowed deeply. The phrase “the bowing spirit” appeared in Li Tianxiang’s mind, causing him to almost burst into laughter.
“Regarding the deal between you and my brother, we wish to take back the succubus from you. Of course, we are willing to pay double, no, five times the compensation for the losses you will incur.”
Li Tianxiang saw Warren stretch out five fingers. He furrowed his eyebrows.
“What exactly happened?”
Warren grimaced.
“I’m sure you know that succubi are actually creatures of the Void Abyss. Other than the Warlocks who signed a contract, it’s almost impossible to bring them out of the Void Abyss.”
Li Tianxiang raised his eyebrows. Since Warren had said so, then this succubus was definitely not the contract creature of a Warlock. In that case, the reason for her appearance in the slave market was very suspicious.
“I can’t lie to you. This succubus was sold to us by a down-and-out Warlock, so we didn’t suspect her identity at first.”
“But…”
Warren looked up, the wrinkles on his forehead deepening.
“Later, we discovered that a team of Void Devils had appeared in the outer region. According to the soldiers who were fighting them, they were looking for something.”
Warren’s next sentence almost scared Li Tianxiang to death.
“Someone sneaked into the Void Abyss and kidnapped the priest of the succubus race.”
“Hiss…”
Li Tianxiang gasped in shock. He didn’t know the power structure of the succubus race.
However, he could still guess the status of a priest in a high-magic world. Furthermore, the succubus he had bought actually had such an identity.
Li Tianxiang hurriedly asked the system if he could send Siebel back to this world. However, the system’s answer changed his expression completely.
[Residents who have left the original world will not be able to return to their original world forever. You can pay 100,000 magic crystals, they can return to their original world for a day. Then, they will be forced to return to the farm after that.]
A hundred thousand magic crystals?!
Li Tianxiang rubbed his hands and looked at Warren awkwardly.
“Um, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?”
Warren gave Li Tianxiang a wry smile.
“Let’s hear the bad news then.”
“I can’t return her to you.”
Warren’s expression also darkened. Then, he tried to comfort Li Tianxiang.
“Though I don’t know what happened, it’s expected. We won’t tell anyone that you bought the succubus, but please be careful.”
Li Tianxiang sighed. This was the only way.
“Then, what’s the good news?”
Warren looked at Li Tianxiang curiously.
“The good news is that we’ve arrived at Noel’s Alchemy Workshop..”
