Chapter 362: Chapter 351 Sister Jia’s Way of Making Money (1st Update) Chapter 362: Chapter 351 Sister Jia’s Way of Making Money (1st Update) Hai Lan, with no extra charge, hid in a cabinet of a shop named Spirit of the Lake to observe the outside scene.

Through the gap in the cabinet, Hai Lan could see a red-named creature named Magic Thief Wenna conversing with an NPC named Lake God Agata.

Lake God Agata was a particularly small deity, probably only about 1.4 meters tall, and looked like a very young girl.

She was the only loli character in the League of Gods and could even be said to be the only friendly loli character on Biland Island, one of only five in the Holy Spirits.

Once the players learned this, they showed great enthusiasm towards Agata, but from Agata’s perspective, their enthusiasm was not at all reliable!

Agata’s shop was almost emptied by a group of enthusiastic Holy Spirits–the kind that ‘moved’ items without paying.

The saddest part was that the poor Lake God held a rather low status in the League of Gods; her shop lacked guards, she couldn’t defeat the Holy Spirits herself, and could only watch helplessly as her shop was cleared out.

And now, the Lake God was negotiating with an enemy! As soon as Hai Lan foresaw this scene, she had turned off the live camera earlier and switched on the recording camera.

This obviously looked like a hidden quest, and a hidden quest couldn’t be considered hidden if it was exposed!

Moreover… a plan started brewing in Hai Lan’s mind.

“How come there’s only this little Divine Power Crystal?” Wenna asked, looking at a small pile of crystals on the table addressing Lake God Agata.

Divine Power Crystals, similar to the plunder tokens of the Planar Pirate faction, are an exclusive ‘currency’ used for exchanging faction equipment and items.

However, unlike the plunder tokens of the Planar Pirates, Divine Power Crystals are crystals infused with powerful energy, more akin to the mother crystals on Biland Island, but the energy inside is much purer.

The City of Gods is a city with very complete facilities, which means it has a complete currency system, and Divine Power Crystals are the hard currency of the City of Gods.

When players complete important tasks commissioned by the Goddess of Beauty, she will hand over the Divine Power Crystals granted by the Divine Council as rewards to players, who can then use them to ‘enhance equipment’, in reality, feeding them to Hai Lan.

They could also use these crystals to trade with other gods in the city for items.

“Those… those Holy Spirits who come to my shop, they all… all just steal and… rob… hardly anyone pays,” Lake God Agata said, her voice becoming increasingly aggrieved as she spoke, and a sobbing tone crept in. Yet, she forcefully held back her tears and glared as she spoke to Hai Lan.

“Magic Thief! The joint contract we signed was supposed to be you providing me with mother crystals, and I provide you with a temporary shelter and updates about the city’s Holy Spirits! But this time you come asking me for Divine Power Crystals, what does this mean?”

Whether it’s the mother crystals produced by Biland Island or Black Tide Island, they are considered nourishing substances even for deities. Although Lake God wasn’t a very strong deity, she had the desire to become stronger and even risked making a dangerous deal with the Magic Thieves for a large amount of mother crystals.

Did the Lake God initially think that these two Magic Thieves came to deliver mother crystals, but then Wenna ended up reversing roles and robbing her of her limited savings?

Wenna bit her lip without saying much more, picked up a coin-like Divine Power Crystal from the table, and pressed it onto the forehead of her Mother she was embracing.

The Mother had been severely injured during an encounter with Denghis Xisi, particularly since her consciousness had been stripped by Black Tide Island, a nearly fatal wound. Yet, the Mother had survived, albeit extremely weakened.

Wenna needed a large number of Divine Power Crystals or mother crystals to sustain the life of the Mother and help her recover.

The Divine Power Crystal was absorbed by the Mother, stabilizing her weakened breath a bit. Wenna sighed in relief and was about to pick up the second Divine Power Crystal from the table to feed to the Mother when… she sensed an unfamiliar gaze.

“The cabinet moved,” Wenna whispered.

“What?”

Before the Lake God could react, the crimson chain blade suddenly appeared in Wenna’s hands; she swung it, stabbing towards a cabinet in the corner of the room.

The chain blade pierced through the wooden cabinet in an instant, and Denghis Xisi hurried out of it just as Wenna swung the blade, intending to kill him completely.

“Don’t move! I’ve recorded everything just now!” Denghis Xisi quickly waved what looked like a camera in his hand, “If you move, I’ll spread this hopeful clip all over the world!”

This device actually had no recording function, but Denghis Xisi still wanted to make Wenna and the Lake God understand that their shameful, dirty transaction had been captured!

“Damn it!” Wenna’s chain blade paused mid-air; had it been any other life form, Wenna would have killed them on the spot.

But this guy was a saint, and saints could be resurrected… if Denghis Xisi exposed her and her mother’s dealings with the Lake God.

Whether he exposed them to the Divine Alliance or the saints, it would put Wenna and her mother in a desperate situation.

“It’s all over… everything’s finished,” mumbled the Lake God as she sat down hard on the ground after seeing Denghis Xisi, “It’s all because of you saints! Everything’s finished!”

As she spoke, she burst into tears, her tears pouring out like a breached river; Denghis Xisi recorded this scene quietly.

“You… That one called Mother, does she need to eat these?” Denghis Xisi took out three Divine Power Crystals, incredibly rare and difficult to obtain.

From the perspective of player Denghis Xisi, you could only get them by tackling the ‘difficult level raid dungeons’ released by the Divine Alliance–a single raid might yield ten to twenty crystals, and top-notch equipment from the Divine Alliance faction required at least one hundred fifty crystals, an utterly grueling process.

Unlike the plundering tokens used by planar pirates that couldn’t truly enable trading with the pirates, these Divine Power Crystals were highly prized by every deity.

Having extra bargaining chips during negotiations, some deities would give saints some unrecorded, valuable items.

However, these good things were generally items ‘filled with a strong Otherworld aura.’

Regardless… Denghis Xisi believed Wenna was already tempted by the three Divine Power Crystals in her hand.

“I think… we can talk,” said Wenna, who now needed to stabilize Denghis Xisi and think of how to seal the saint’s lips.

“She is dying,” Denghis Xisi could also feel that Mother was growing weaker by the moment and threw the three Divine Power Crystals to Wenna.

Wenna caught the Divine Power Crystals thrown by Denghis Xisi without asking and immediately placed them against Mother’s forehead.

Mother’s weak aura recovered slightly, and her complexion grew a bit rosier.

“What exactly do you want?” Wenna asked, looking at Denghis Xisi.

“This store, well I can’t exactly call it a store. Those three Divine Power Crystals are the investment fee to join the partnership, you know, as shareholders,” Denghis Xisi said this to the Lake God who was sitting on the ground, crying enough to almost form a lake.

“Investment?” The Lake God wiped her tears and composed herself, “I’m about to go bankrupt because of you saints, what good is your investment now!”

“That’s because you don’t know how to manage,” Denghis Xisi retorted, looking at Wenna, “How about it? Want to partner up? If we do, we’ll be in the mud together, and that way, I won’t expose you!”
