Chapter 685 - Chapter 685 Chapter 685 Teleportation Formation (One more

Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Teleportation Formation (One more chapter to celebrate Alliance Leader Bi Yunxuan) Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Teleportation Formation (One more chapter to celebrate Alliance Leader Bi Yunxuan) Feng Jun was startled when Huang Fu Flawless put it so bluntly.

Still, he responded with a smile, “Starting to like me a bit, are you? After all, I did let you handle the Task Management System.”

This time, it was Chairman Huang Fu who found herself following his tempo. Her intuition was actually pretty astounding, but upon thinking about the commission she was about to secure, she couldn’t help but answer with a smile, “We’re just earning a hardworking penny. You don’t have to lift a finger and still, money comes your way.”

Earning money by lying down… How discordant that phrase sounded! Feng Jun murmured inwardly, but the smile on his face remained, “This doesn’t sound like something the President of the Tiantong Commercial Alliance would say. I need to think, am I falling into another one of your schemes?”

Huang Fu Flawless rolled her eyes at his words, “Scheming against you? Haven’t I already suffered enough losses because of you?”

In that moment, she completely forgot the suspicions she had just a moment ago.

This just goes to show that Feng Jun was quite skilled at setting the pace, though he didn’t usually do so on purpose.

He replied nonchalantly with a laugh, “Although I’m sorry I can’t use the tower, I still hope you can send someone soon to learn and master the Contribution Point System quickly.”

Huang Fu Flawless, with her keen senses, asked doubtfully, “Send someone soon… Why the urgency?”

“Because I’m out of Spirit Stones,” Feng Jun spread his hands and answered frankly, “I need to make some money fast. You know, just that Intermediate Level Spirit Gathering Array is a huge consumer of Spirit Stones.”

Chairman Huang Fu shook the small tower in her hand and replied with a smile, “This is the true Spirit Stone consumer. What’s that Spirit Gathering Array compared to it?”

Feng Jun wasn’t keen on dwelling on this topic, so he quickly changed the subject, “Right, if possible, bring a couple more people with you. As for the mobile phone concept, I can start by teaching them a bit about it.”

Huang Fu Flawless brightened up at these words, “You’re also interested in collaborating on the mobile phones?”

“Why not?” Feng Jun responded with a smile and a shrug, “But first, we talk about the Task Management System. If the partnership goes well there, discussing phones can wait. However, the phone is a big project. It’s necessary for your people to get some understanding first.”

He felt he had gotten the better deal this time and needed to offer the other side some benefits to ease his conscience.

Of course, dangling this carrot was also meant to divert her attention so she wouldn’t notice anything amiss about him.

Huang Fu Flawless nodded, but she couldn’t help wondering to herself. He was on guard just a moment ago. Why has he become so amenable all of a sudden?

However, she had her suspicions–perhaps it was because I brought out the White Steed Tower. Seeing my sincerity might have prompted him to give way.

Realizing this, a sense of pride welled up inside her: These powerful clan disciples really needed to see gains before they took action. It seems my Huang Fu Family finally has something worthwhile to offer.

So she inquired with a smile, “Is your phone system difficult to learn?”

“Very much so,” Feng Jun replied earnestly, “I hope you can bring two people with sharp minds to learn… better if they’re Martial Cultivators.”

Huang Fu Flawless nodded slightly, noting his requirements, but then her eyes flickered curiously, “Are you not planning on using the Spirit Stones you earn to rent the White Steed Tower? It would be very suitable for your cultivation.”

She didn’t know that Feng Jun was now most fearful of this topic. Having just covertly used someone else’s property, how could he dare to continue discussing it? If she used her Treasure-Appraising Eye on him, it would be problematic.

“That’s basically impossible,” Feng Jun dismissed quickly before getting to his feet, “Oh, if you have a Transfer Matrix Plate, bring me a couple. I’d like to analyze them.”

“Transfer Matrix Plate…” Chairman Huang Fu paused, taking a long while before she spoke, “That thing is really expensive.”

The Teleportation Formation mentioned here is akin to the “Transmission Array” in Earth Plane network novels.

Conventional Transmission Arrays are fixed and it is no different here in this Mobile Phone Plane.

Fixed Teleportation Formations are exceedingly expensive to construct. During their use, they also consume a great amount of Spirit Stones.

A Transfer Matrix Plate… that’s even rarer, as they’re typically single-use. Once the teleportation begins, the plate is spent.

Explaining this is quite complicated, and there are many exceptions. Generally speaking, a Transfer Matrix Plate is pretty much a one-time Teleportation Formation, or a Directional Movement Talisman.

Teleportation Talismans are costly as well, mainly used for escaping, especially in battle or emergency situations, but compared to Transfer Matrix Plates, they’re much cheaper. The difference lies in that the former provides random teleportation, whereas the latter offers directed movement.

But in a true life-or-death situation, random teleportation suffices to escape danger. Who would go to the trouble of using directed movement?

Of course, there’s a reason for the existence of Transfer Matrix Plates. One is that they can cover much longer distances than Teleportation Talismans, and secondly… although the demand for directed teleportation is small, it objectively exists.

For example, Immortal Second Generation figures valued by their clans might prefer to teleport directly home when in danger. If not home, then at least to a place teeming with powerful figures for protection.

Having him teleport randomly could potentially free him from the trap, but who could guarantee he wouldn’t escape the tiger’s mouth only to enter the wolf’s den?

So, this kind of Transfer Matrix Plate has a market, though it’s indeed very expensive and caters to a quite niche audience.

Huang Fu Flawless had never considered exploiting this kind of array plate, but once Feng Jun mentioned it, she realized why it wasn’t popular–mainly because of its prohibitive cost.

If the workings of such array plates could be deciphered, using relatively common materials to replicate the effects of the Teleportation Formation, the market prospects… would actually be quite optimistic. After all, it’s a lifeline.

The realization dawned on Huang Fu Flawless in an instant, “It transports farther than a Teleportation Talisman, and with greater accuracy… If you can decipher such a matrix plate, even if it’s several times more expensive than a Teleportation Talisman, it will sell well.”

In fact, Teleportation Talismans were already quite costly. A small Teleportation Talisman with a ten-mile range was valued at one hundred Spirit Stones, a fifty-mile Teleportation Talisman at five hundred Spirit Stones, and a Great Transfer Talisman with a hundred-mile range at one thousand five hundred Spirit Stones.

But to the truly wealthy, these prices aren’t considered high; these talismans could save their lives at critical moments.

In comparison, Transfer Matrix Plates are genuinely expensive. Those capable of teleporting below three hundred miles generally start at twenty thousand Spirit Stones, while those over three hundred miles cost about ten thousand Spirit Stones per one hundred miles.

In truth, the purpose of a Transfer Matrix Plate isn’t just for escaping; it’s also incredibly convenient for transporting goods to fixed locations.

In between these two uses lies a vast margin for profit, which Huang Fu Flawless believes is genuinely a good business opportunity.

“Don’t be overly optimistic,” Feng Jun couldn’t help but caution her, “The market won’t be very large, and analyzing it will be difficult. It might not even be successful, so don’t have too much faith in me.”

In reality, he wasn’t very confident about success. Teleportation Formations involved comprehension of space, and the profound mysteries of space and time couldn’t possibly be unraveled so easily.

Huang Fu Flawless, however, was unfazed; perhaps it was part of her strategy, “How can we know without trying?”

“You really do have faith in me,” Feng Jun could only offer a wry smile. He reminded her once again, “Once the Transfer Matrix Plate is deciphered, it will be highly valuable, and that’s something you should consider as well.”

Huang Fu Flawless looked at him with suspicion, “What are you trying to say exactly?”

Isn’t that obvious? Feng Jun answered with conviction, “Of course, it’s the issue of counterfeits.”

Deciphered Spirit Gathering Arrays aren’t counterfeited, not just because they’re backed by the Wuyou Platform but also because the profit margins are mediocre, hardly worth the risk to others. However, the Transfer Matrix Plate is a different story.

“Don’t worry about that,” Huang Fu Flawless chuckled confidently, “Tiantong’s sealing techniques are much stronger than those of the Wuyou Platform, and… I’m quite curious to see who would dare to interfere with Tiantong’s business.”

Having great power indeed comes with different levels of confidence, Feng Jun thought to himself. “Right, if possible, bring a few more Teleportation Talismans. I want to see if I can learn something from them.”

In truth, he just wanted to examine the Teleportation Talismans closely. Such talismans were not covered in “Basic Talismans,” and he didn’t believe he could necessarily discern anything from them, but if he could get a glimpse, why not try?

After all, his talisman level was somewhat basic, but he was completely in the dark when it came to Formations.

By this point, his purpose for visiting had been entirely achieved–even with some unexpected bonuses. So, he stood up to leave.

After he left, Chairman Huang Fu sat there, pondering for a while, then she frowned, “His hair seems a little off today… When did he change it?”

Feng Jun had been very careful indeed. Each time he crossed planes, he always handled his hair accordingly. Having spent sufficient time in the Earth Realm, he had gotten his hair trimmed before coming here.

But no matter how meticulously one styles one’s hair, a fresh haircut can’t compare to naturally grown hair, which is why the keen-eyed Huang Fu Flawless noticed it.

Fortunately, Feng Jun’s hairstyle was so unconventional in this plane that even with Chairman Huang Fu’s exceptional perception, without a point of reference, she found it difficult to discern the subtle differences.

Thus, she assumed she had simply overlooked his change in hairstyle.

Unbeknownst to Feng Jun, his hairstyle had almost betrayed his secret.

Upon returning to his small courtyard, he finally resumed his normal cultivation routine. In the morning, he went to the Spirit Gathering Array to cultivate, in the afternoon, he tried drawing talismans, and in the evening, he continued cultivating with Sister Lin and analyzed the matrix plate on the side.

Five days later, he ceased using the Spirit Gathering Array. Cultivation in the Mortal World should follow such a rhythm–just look at Yu Changqing, who used the Spirit Gathering Array for two days and then put it away for some time before taking it out again.

Alternating relaxation with effort is the true way of cultivation; reckless pursuit does not aid growth.

The others also understood, for indeed, the Spirit Gathering Array was quite voracious in its consumption of Spirit Stones.
