Chapter 998: Chapter 265: Encountering such a major event, it’s truly worth dying for! (8400)_2

Otherwise, merely being at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, not only would you be drafted into becoming a low-ranking officer in the upcoming possible war, but you’d also easily be kicked to death during the successive Demon Calamities!

"Now is the final window of opportunity. If you don’t take advantage of the early development of the Ancient Immortal Ruins to gather enough resources and rapidly enhance your power, you’ll inevitably end up as cannon fodder!"

"Yes, even if you become advanced in Foundation Establishment, you’re just a bigger piece of cannon fodder, but at least you’ll be used with a bit of caution, a chess piece they won’t discard lightly... The higher-ups don’t see us as people, at least they see us as resources, and only with a middle-to-high level of Foundation Establishment, with the potential to advance to the Purple Mansion, can you have a slight chance of being treated like a person!"

Having quickly figured out what he should do next, Ye Yunsheng knew very well that this was probably his only chance in life to be treated like a person.

If you miss this village, there’s no store like it—it’s necessary to take risks!

At the same time, Ye Yunsheng also keenly sensed something "off" about the Peace Grocery Store.

"At this critical juncture, deliberately distributing such valuable Treasure Mirrors, they must be trying to spread their bait widely to find something they’re looking for!"

"Moreover, being able to produce such Magic Artifacts, their technological prowess behind the scenes is definitely not trivial... Indeed, they could even provide Foundation Establishment packages, which proves they have not just power, but influence!"

If that’s the case, then their objective...

Guessing leads nowhere.

Ye Yunsheng decided to ask directly.

This time, he was still greeted by that somewhat unfamiliar young clerk.

"Oh... You mean that you’ve seen through our plan, so you’re planning to deeply cooperate with us, and want to proactively offer your service?"

The young clerk smiled: "Of course, that’s no problem, but can you guess what resources we’re actually looking for?"

"I am guessing—"

Ye Yunsheng said confidently: "You intend to search for hidden Spirit Stone veins within the Ancient Immortal Ruins, or say, to survey the earth veins of the Ancient Immortal Ruins!"

This was the conclusion he reached after analyzing various pieces of information, because the unique detection ability of the Treasure Mirror mainly lies in monitoring underground Spiritual Objects. This is quite a complex Art of Magic, requiring resistance against the interference from the earth’s natural micro spirit vein’s Spiritual Power reactions, clearly a Magic Artifact specifically designed for detecting underground treasures.

And all kinds of derived Spiritual Objects are actually inspections of earth veins, after all, Spiritual Power can’t appear out of nowhere. The presence of a Spiritual Object indicates there’s a weak Spirit Vein here, and as long as enough data on Spiritual Objects is collected, there’s a high probability of deducing the locations of some minor Spirit Veins. Some special Spiritual Objects, in particular, only grow at specific Spirit Stone veins and earth veins.

Clearly, this is illegal, but precisely because it’s illegal, one can earn Good Deeds, and the fact that this influence can sell Foundation Establishment packages demonstrates that they might well have been specializing in this field in the past!

"Correct."

The young clerk smiled and said: "But that’s not all, think carefully, what is currently the most profitable?"

Ye Yunsheng was briefly stunned. What’s profitable? Naturally, illegal activities are the most profitable! If he had to say, he could slowly look in the Law Code, basically anything with more than a thirty-year sentence is a profitable business path.

However, now, the key point of this question doesn’t lie here; he must think seriously, consider the answer—

"It is..."

As if blessed with sudden clarity, Ye Yunsheng thought about what’s truly profitable is a store serving adventurers, he realized why the store profits, he understood what truly constitutes the most illegal business nowadays.

Ye Yunsheng subconsciously lowered his voice.

"You’re looking for... another small, smuggling entrance to the Ancient Immortal Ruins?"

When he uttered these words, he felt astonished: "That’s your real intent."

The young man neither confirmed nor denied it, whereas Ye Yunsheng became a bit scared: "This is punishable by death! Hiding a secret realm entrance privately and not reporting, this..."

—He intended to say more.

The Great Demon fell silent before speaking, the initially frightened him suddenly calmed down for some reason.

He had no capital left to refuse.

This was something he sought out himself, a decision he made himself...

Moreover, if he truly wished to cooperate with Peace Grocery Store, he shouldn’t have been so direct, but rather more subtle, testing multiple times, and only after affirming the other party’s stance, should subsequent matters be discussed...His emotions felt off.

This mirror... is it influencing his thoughts?!

For so many years, among so many people around him, only Ye Yunsheng managed to depart the dark training world unscathed, which was no coincidence, he was very careful and content, and also good at reflection.

But why?

Ye Yunsheng remained silent for a while, then he suddenly realized: "Is it me?"

"Are you actually looking for someone like me?"

"Haha, you’re quite clever, at least meticulous, and your capability to resist temptation is truly strong."

Seeing Ye Yunsheng truly realize it, the young clerk laughed heartily, he clapped his hands, so then several other clerks who frequently appeared usually, emerged from the backstage—and judging by their respectful attitudes, how could Ye Yunsheng not understand, this young man before him was not a mere server, but...

The owner?

Is he the owner behind Peace Grocery Store? So young?

And there seems to be something familiar about him?

"Come in—although I don’t much like divine intervention, since you’ve appeared before me, it means you are indeed the most suitable candidate."
