Chapter 3063  Diverse City's Auction!

During the day that Feng Qian and Ding Tao accompanied Lin Yuan out, Wan Ying was very worried that Feng Qian and Ding Tao would not be able to serve Lin Yuan well.

Feng Qian and Ding Tao were Wan Ying's trusted subordinates. However, Wan Ying knew that the higher a person's status, the higher their requirements.

If Feng Qian and Ding Tao's service did not satisfy Lin Yuan, he would inevitably be dissatisfied with Fortune Treasure Palace.

Seeing the concern on Wan Ying's face, Ding Tao hurriedly said, "Sister Wan Ying, our operation with Young Master Lin today went very smoothly. Young Master Lin gained a lot and has returned to his residence in Fortune Treasure Palace. Feng Qian and I have completed our mission perfectly."

Wan Ying relaxed at this but did not fully trust Ding Tao's words. Instead, she turned to look at Feng Qian.

After Feng Qian nodded in confirmation, Wan Ying smiled and said, "The two of you have done well today. I will inform Palace Master Ling about your successful completion of the mission. Palace Master Ling has been paying close attention to this matter.

"Your ratings will be confirmed in three months. At the beginning of next year, as long as nothing goes wrong, you will become the person-in-charge of other cities' Fortune Treasure Palaces.

"Since it's your first time serving Young Master Lin and he's satisfied with your work, I'll leave the subsequent reception to the two of you until he leaves Diverse City. After receiving Young Master Lin, I can make the decision to let you rest until the handover of the managers next year."

Ding Tao was overjoyed, but Feng Qian felt a wave of pressure.

During her time with Lin Yuan, Feng Qian sensed that he was easygoing, but serving someone of his stature was not easy.

Moreover, Sun Youcai had invited Lin Yuan. Even if Ding Tao and she wanted to continue receiving Lin Yuan, they might not always have the chance.

After much consideration, Feng Qian told Wan Ying about how Sun Youcai had tried to recruit Lin Yuan in front of her and Ding Tao.

When Feng Qian mentioned this, Ding Tao also recalled Sun Youcai's provocation and said unhappily, "Sister Wan Ying, you don't know how arrogant Sun Youcai was when he invited Young Master Lin. He didn't consider that the people from Fortune Treasure Palace were still present."

Although Wan Ying was a little displeased, she had expected Sun Youcai to recruit Lin Yuan. Sun Youcai was not an idiot. He was a disciple of a large faction, adept at speculating and seeking opportunities. As soon as Sun Youcai came into contact with Lin Yuan, he realized his value. Wan Ying was surprised that Sun Youcai hadn't recruited Lin Yuan sooner.

Lin Yuan's influence was not in Diverse City, so he wouldn't stay there long.

Lin Yuan had definitely come to Diverse City to interact more with its factions. If Fortune Treasure Palace forcefully stopped Lin Yuan from interacting with other factions, they would be at a disadvantage.

Wan Ying only needed to provide the best service to Lin Yuan and not worry about anything else. Ling Muzhuo had reminded Wan Ying of this, fearing she might try to interfere with Lin Yuan's interactions with other factions.

"I understand the situation you're talking about. Based on my understanding of Sun Youcai, he will send a large number of resources later to thank us for recommending such a good client. We have a cooperative relationship with Sun Youcai.

"Moreover, Young Master Lin's actions are not something we can control. Just allow Sun Youcai to do what he wants. The two of you can continue serving Young Master Lin. If there's anything you need to do, I'll inform you."

Feng Qian knew that Lin Yuan intended to participate in Traveling Dragon Palace's trade fair, so she told Wan Ying about this.

"Sister Wan Ying, Fortune Treasure Palace has a good relationship with Traveling Dragon Palace. Do you think we should contact Traveling Dragon Palace and help Young Master Lin obtain the resources he saw there?"

When Wan Ying heard Feng Qian's words, she first looked hesitant before frowning.

Fortune Treasure Palace was indeed connected to Traveling Dragon Palace. Previously, when Traveling Dragon Palace was in a predicament, their second leader, You Di, had sought her out, hoping Fortune Treasure Palace could help them overcome the crisis.

Wan Ying had rejected Traveling Dragon Palace without thinking.

Firstly, Wan Ying felt that Traveling Dragon Palace was taking too big a step. They had already invested a lot of resources, making it impossible to escape unscathed.

Furthermore, Bizarre Plant Demon Hall and Fortune Treasure Palace were in a cooperative relationship. If Fortune Treasure Palace helped Traveling Dragon Palace, it would completely antagonize Bizarre Plant Demon Hall.

After careful consideration, Wan Ying gave up on improving her relationship with Traveling Dragon Palace. She had already rejected You Di previously. What would happen if she clashed with them now?

Lin Yuan was very capable. Even without the help of Fortune Treasure Palace, he could still trade for what he wanted. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Since Fortune Treasure Palace couldn't help Lin Yuan much, it was better not to do anything unnecessary.

Feng Qian was indeed very smart, but sometimes being too smart wasn't a good thing.

"Feng Qian, you just told me how much Young Master Lin spent on Sun Youcai. Do you think Young Master Lin needs our help? Traveling Dragon Palace organized this trade fair to gather resources to resolve the crisis we are facing now.

"If Fortune Treasure Palace helps, it will just mean we're helping Young Master Lin provide resources to Traveling Dragon Palace. Traveling Dragon Palace has put all their trump cards up for sale. How can we afford these things?

"Let's not talk about this anymore. We cannot take the initiative to contact Traveling Dragon Palace. The purpose of Fortune Treasure Palace is to avoid participating in the disputes of other factions.

"Once Fortune Treasure Palace gets involved in these disputes, we will no longer be able to do business with all the factions in the future!

"Feng Qian, when you're in charge of Fortune Treasure Palace in the future, don't forget its foundation."

With that, Wan Ying waved her hand, indicating that Feng Qian and Ding Tao could leave.

Actually, before Ding Tao mentioned this matter, Wan Ying had already asked Lin Yuan if he had any intention of interacting with Traveling Dragon Palace.

Back then, Lin Yuan had not responded. It seemed that even if Lin Yuan wanted to contact Traveling Dragon Palace, he would most likely not want to use Fortune Treasure Palace's channels.

…

After Chu Ci returned, she entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone and prepared to reorganize her direction.

Lin Yuan counted the talents he had traded and had higher expectations for Sky City's future development.

These 3,000 Spirit Craftsmen allowed Sky City's development to proceed quickly, and many war fortresses could be constructed.

Winter couldn't help but say, "Young Master, your companion Lord Totem God is able to produce resources. Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, without the Creator methods, it would be difficult to obtain many resources. The only way to obtain resources with strength is to become a star pirate or plunder other factions. Only with so many resources can Sky City develop so quickly."

Winter's words sounded like flattery, but in reality, he had no intention of flattering at all. Instead, he was genuinely impressed.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Winter, no matter how many resources I can produce here, I can't spend them without the four of you. This trip to Diverse City has greatly improved Sky City. This time, I intend to support Traveling Dragon Palace to achieve control over Diverse City and its surrounding cities. This will enable Sky City to extend a tenacious tentacle to the outside world. But if we decide to support Traveling Dragon Palace, we will inevitably face conflicts."

Winter's tone was extremely serious when he replied, "Young Master, since you've decided to develop Sky City externally, conflicts are inevitable. Traveling Dragon Palace is an excellent choice for you to control Diverse City. There are not many factions in the entire city that suit your needs.

"Sun Yin has already helped you get in touch with the leaders of Traveling Dragon Palace. If Traveling Dragon Palace wants to submit, we can begin to understand their situation. Whether to support Traveling Dragon Palace or not depends on your wishes."

While Winter was talking to Lin Yuan, Sun Yin sent a message on the Thoughts Letter Paper.

Lin Yuan smiled when he saw Sun Yin's message.

Traveling Dragon Palace was already willing to submit. It was just that Sun Yin was not clear about Traveling Dragon Palace's current predicament.

You Di wanted to meet Lin Yuan, but Lin Yuan rejected him.

Now was not the best time to meet You Di. Lin Yuan replied to Sun Yin through the Thoughts Letter Paper.

[Lin Yuan]: Since you've finished discussing with Traveling Dragon Palace, why don't you stay there for the next few days? Traveling Dragon Palace is in a predicament. We can't just sit back and do nothing. Tell Traveling Dragon Palace to announce that they've recruited a Grade 5 Creator.

Lin Yuan had asked Sun Yin to do this in response to Traveling Dragon Palace.

If Traveling Dragon Palace announced to the public that a Grade 5 Creator had joined them, their enemies would probably not be able to handle this news. Bizarre Plant Demon Hall would definitely take new actions!

Tomorrow, Sun Youcai would invite him to participate in a talent auction held by the Diverse Talent Market supported by Diverse City.

The talent auctions held at Diverse Talent Market usually consisted of criminals who had offended the power of the City Lord. Such auctions would only appear once every few hundred years.

Lin Yuan had arrived just in time, so it could be considered a coincidence.

Lin Yuan's original intention for going to Diverse City was to buy Traveling Dragon Palace's blessed land. Since he had the opportunity to obtain more high-end resources, Lin Yuan would definitely not reject it.

…

The next morning, Feng Qian and Ding Tao prepared breakfast for Lin Yuan on time and asked if he wanted them to show him around Diverse City. However, Lin Yuan declined their offer.

Feng Qian and Ding Tao had not mentioned to Lin Yuan that the Diverse Talent Market was about to hold an auction, which had specific entry requirements. Fortune Treasure Palace did not have the right to enter, but Sun Youcai did.

Sun Youcai was waiting for Lin Yuan at the entrance of Fortune Treasure Palace. When he saw Lin Yuan, he smiled and reached out to give him a big hug.

Seeing that Lin Yuan had no intention of reciprocating, Sun Youcai did not feel embarrassed.

"Brother Lin, this trade fair organized by the Diverse Talent Market is the most grandiose one I've seen since I came to Diverse City. Many of the goods are not local but obtained from other places by the City Lord.

"At that time, there will probably be many people competing for them. Moreover, the purchasing power of different resources will vary in this competition. Brother Lin, if you keep trading with Grade 4 Creator resources, the other factions won't be able to compete with you."

At this point, Sun Youcai put away his usual kind smile and spoke in a serious tone. "The City Lord of Diverse City is not a good person. He doesn't have any real business acumen, but he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

"There will definitely be people who will raise the price maliciously in this auction. They will only stop when the City Lord is satisfied.

"Brother Lin, I suggest you don't get too carried away. Most of the factions in this auction are here to have fun unless they have resources they really value. Basically, the final transaction price of the auction will be comparable to, or even higher than, the actual purchase price."

Lin Yuan couldn't help but think.

The City Lord of Diverse City had given Sun Youcai a bad impression. Of course, Sun Youcai might have said that because of his competitive relationship with the City Lord and his inclination to discredit him.

Lin Yuan and Sun Youcai had only made one transaction, so he could not use this alone to determine Sun Youcai's character.

Lin Yuan had his eyes on the top talents, so price was nothing to him.

Sun Youcai had too few high-end talents. If Sun Youcai had sufficient high-end talents, Lin Yuan would be willing to buy them even at a higher price.

Lin Yuan did not mind the City Lord raising the price maliciously. As long as it was a talent that caught his eye, Lin Yuan would choose to buy it even if he had to spend more.

Of course, this was only if the price was not too ridiculous. If it was, Lin Yuan would not be a sucker.

When Lin Yuan arrived at the Diverse Talent Market, he realized it was completely different from Sun Youcai's talent market.

The Diverse Talent Market was guarded by a large number of factions belonging to the City Lord. There were people standing guard everywhere. In contrast, apart from the attendants at the entrance, there had been hardly any security at Sun Youcai's place.

Sun Youcai looked at the lineup of the Diverse Talent Market and said disdainfully, "Heh, Zhao Chen really likes to show off. These people standing guard here are just for decoration. Other than that, they have no other use. The real security is carried out by top experts. Zhao Chen most likely sent the three worshippers from the City Lord's residence over."
