The abyssal stone that makes up the Ghost Prison is approximately 500 to 600 cubic meters.
Lu Li would not throw more than 80% of the deep sea stones there.
Although selling 10 cubic meters was enough to make Lu Li the richest person in the land.
"You don't need to store too much, and you can afford very little." The businessman replied briefly.
"Can other deep-sea stones be given to you for storage? I allow you to sell them, as long as you pay me the corresponding recycling fee."
"Yes. Within ten years of storage, the storage fee is 1% of the value of the item, and the original price will be compensated if any damage occurs. The storage time is unlimited, and the storage fee is 10% of the value of the item. If any damage occurs, the original price will be compensated. You can designate an heir, if
No heirs will be left to the three major organizations or to the merchants themselves."
Storage is not free.
And if Lu Li wants to store excess deep-sea stones, he will also have to pay a high price - half of what he just obtained will have to be returned to the merchant.
This didn't seem like a good deal. The businessman's background was unknown, and he might not be completely trustworthy. But Lu Li would never doubt when he shouldn't.
Giving them to merchants is of greater significance than piling them to weather on the sea cliff, and they can be taken at any time: "I choose to store them for ten years. The heirs are Anna, Remy Jimi, Adang Fuya, Mother of the Swamp, Tesla..."
Lu Li added everyone he knew to the list of heirs. If something happened to him, these heirs would receive a considerable amount of wealth.
Wealth that allows them not to worry about food and supplies in the last days.
9.75 billion and 50,000 contribution points... This is your contribution point." The businessman opened his mouth and reported a series of amazing numbers. "We will deduct the storage fee after counting the deep sea stones. Do you have any other transactions?
?”
"Will contribution points depreciate in value in the future?" Lu Li did not answer, but asked.
"Contribution points don't matter, goods do." the businessman said.
That is inflation.
As time goes by, and hope gets further away from the survivors, the goods will become more and more expensive.
But Lu Li doesn't need to worry about this. The nearly 5 billion contribution points are enough for him to use until the day he dies of old age.
"This is the second thing." Lu Li handed over the envelope that had been prepared before the merchant arrived. "Send it to the Demon Exorcist Association for me, or tell them the above content and get a reply."
"10 contribution points." The mail delivery service seems surprisingly cheap.
Lu Li thought thoughtfully: "How much does it cost to send a letter to a deserted land?"
"25 contribution points."
“What about the Lennon Islands?”
"It's also 25 contribution points."
“The price is the same depending on the distance?”
"The Lennon Islands are safer." The businessman replied, slamming the envelope into the pocket of his coat and not intending to continue answering. "Is there still a deal?"
"There is indeed one more thing." Lu Li took out a folded note, but did not put it in an envelope. "A few months ago, I encountered a source of pollution. I couldn't get rid of it, and got deeper and deeper. Information about it
Write down the characteristics on paper and give it to anyone who can solve the source of pollution, and he will pay you."
The source of confidence is the 5 billion contribution points and 500 cubic meters of deep sea rock.
Surprisingly, the businessman picked up the note, paused for a few seconds, and then unfolded it.
It read for a moment and looked away from the paper: "There is nothing written on it."
Lu Li raised the oil lamp, and the handwriting composed of dried ink was faintly revealed on the back of the thin paper: "I wrote a lot."
"Maybe it has chosen you, and it is difficult for outsiders to see it." The businessman analyzed that this was a gift and not a transaction, because it did not ask for any reward.
"But Anna knows it... I can try to describe it to you." Lu Li said, and after getting the merchant's permission, he said to the outside of the refuge: "Remy, you and Adamfuya leave the cave first."
After they left, Lu Li told the merchant all the information he knew about the "Gate", including the diary he initially obtained and the "Gate" he encountered in the sewer.
After listening, the businessman kept quiet and looked at Lu Li: "Are you done?"
Its reaction is unsettling.
After Lu Li nodded, the businessman's cold words sounded: "We have no memory of you speaking between 6 seconds ago and 89 seconds ago. You just stood there, motionless."
Can't businessmen also know the "door"?
But why can Anna know... because she is the closest to him?
Lu Li did not give up on solving the "door" and continued to ask: "Is there anything that can do this? I need to be specific."
"500 contribution points." The merchant quoted a price that Lu Li could ignore. "The powerful evil god, the old god, the ancient god, the lord of the mezzanine in the inner world, the vast existence of the starry sky, and the weirdness of the curse itself."
"Can you tell what kind of thing I encountered?" Lu Li asked.
"Maybe, but it will be expensive."
"Can I afford it?"
"Can."
"That's fine, what do you want to do?"
If he could solve the "door" that entangled him, Lu Li wouldn't feel bad about spending his unearned contribution points.
"The transaction requires the consent of both parties. If it agrees to the transaction, you can go and check the source of the curse."
Lu Li noticed the "it" used by the merchant. Is it another evil spirit like old Miklos?
"It can't come here?"
"It can't move."
"Who is it?"
Maybe because Lu Li was a big customer, maybe because Lu Li was involved in this transaction, the businessman revealed the existence of the other party: "The Tree of the Soul."
This seems to be a name he heard a long time ago. Lu Li did have brief contact with it - its branches to be precise.
That was when he was preparing to join the investigators. Lu Li used the branches of the Tree of Mind to manifest the situation of his sanity value.
"How long will it take for it to heal?" Lu Li asked.
"Not later than the day after tomorrow. Do you have any other deals?"
"No more."
The supplies at the evacuation site were enough to last for several months, and Lu Li's contribution points allowed him to purchase goods at a premium of dozens or hundreds of times, so there was no need to hoard anything.
Businessman leaves the cliff top.
Not long after, Remy and Adangfuya came in and asked, "What happened?"
Lu Li told them the news that he had gained Dabi's wealth by selling off the deep-sea stones.
Adangfuya was the most excited, but it was because of another thing: "I heard they can trade anything... Can you contact the shelter? Or send a letter!"
"If it comes tomorrow, I will ask it." Lu Li replied, knowing that Adang Fuya wanted to contact her husband.
"Thank you... Thank you, Mr. Lu Li... Even if I can't, I'm very grateful to you..." Adangfuya choked and covered her mouth. She couldn't control her emotions, so she said sorry and hurriedly left the cave and returned to the hut.
Sighing, Remi looked away: "Is there any more bad news?"
If it's just this matter, there's no reason to let them out.
Lu Li said calmly: "The merchant cannot solve the curse on me. We can only investigate the source first."
Remi knew about the curse, but it was a pity that she couldn't help Lu Li even if she was a "scholar".
