Chapter 2281: Chapter 2301: We Don’t Lack Spirit Stones, Truly a Rich Tycoon!_1

One million spirit stones for a room?

That’s really not cheap!

Luckily Lin Chen’s wallet was bulging, not short in that regard, as he directly made the payment and casually asked the middle-aged man, "Brother, have you bought yours yet, or do you want to join us?"

The middle-aged man looked slightly surprised and quickly waved his hand, "I’ve bought mine already, you just go on and buy yours. If possible, try to get rooms close to each other. It’s better to have someone to look out for you on the journey...."

The middle-aged man took out his boat ticket; it was blue, with an image of a boundless ocean and a gigantic cruise ship on it, accompanied by the cabin number written on the side.

Lin Chen took the ticket, showing it to the young man to see the cabin number.

Before long, Lin Chen had acquired two tickets, naturally one for him and Purple Cloud, and one for Lu Yao.

Although life inside the Linglong Tower was peaceful and detached from the world, after a long stay, one still yearns to experience the human world’s bustling life. Therefore, everyone was preparing to experience it as tourists, taking a cruise to savor the experience.

After all, the enthusiastic older brother mentioned that there were plenty of high-quality indulgences to be enjoyed on the ship. Wouldn’t it be a missed opportunity not to experience and enjoy them?

As for spirit stones, Lin Chen was not lacking.

On his journey, Lin Chen had encountered no shortage of formidable opponents. Having defeated them, all their wealth and materials naturally became his spoils of war. These powerhouses had bountiful personal riches; how could Lin Chen be poor?

Not only was Lin Chen not lacking in spirit stones, but his spatial ring was also crammed with all sorts of magical treasures, medicinal pills, immortal medicines, and natural treasures, truly a wealthy rich man.

Soon, Lin Chen got ahold of the tickets and compared them, finding that his room was opposite the middle-aged man’s.

"The ship sets sail tomorrow at noon. Please be on board punctually. If you miss it, the ticket will be voided."

After leaving the ticket counter, Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Brother, may I ask your name and which business alliance were you mentioning just now?"

The middle-aged man introduced himself, "Chen Youdong, a businessman who sadly failed in cultivation and turned to commerce. The business alliance I mentioned is the Shanhai Business Alliance, an active commercial union near powers like the Mountain Sea Sect. I’m one of its members, just an inconspicuous small fry, hustling along."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Lin Chen, a loose cultivator, my strength isn’t much to speak of. I like to wander around, broaden my horizons. This is my wife Purple Cloud and my friend Lu Yao... Brother Chen, are you heading to the Northern Sea for business?"

Chen Youdong said with a laugh, "Yes, I’m in the mining business. I’ve heard that there’s a black gold mine discovered on an island in the Northern Sea. This stuff isn’t very abundant and many Xianmen need it, so I’m planning to go over and see if I can buy some. If I manage to, I can sell it back in Eastern Brilliance for a little profit."

Chen Youdong’s honest laugh continued, "Although I have a business in the mining industry that’s somewhat known, at the end of the day, I’m just a middleman, buying low and selling high, earning some hard-earned money."

"As a member of the alliance, I have the privilege to buy premium cabin tickets in advance. Introducing you to buy tickets, while the price is the same, the consumption quota is credited to my account. In this regard, I’m somewhat taking advantage of you all."

Lin Chen chuckled, "How could that be? Without your guidance, Brother Chen, we wouldn’t have even known about this ship. We probably would have had to settle for some first-class ship and spend the whole voyage in a small cabin room. We should be thanking you."

Chen Youdong said with a laugh, "As long as Young Brother Lin doesn’t mind me benefiting at your expense, all is well. Since the ship doesn’t depart until tomorrow, we have to stay in Hai Ling City tonight. I’ll invite everyone for a drink as thanks."

Lin Chen did not refuse, as there was plenty of time aboard the ship for these courtesies to reciprocate.

"The ship won’t leave until tomorrow, Brother Chen, what brings you to the pier?"

Chen Youdong responded with a laugh, "I had a batch of ores to check on."

As a member of the local business alliance engaging in trade with the Northern Sea, Chen Youdong was naturally very familiar with the Northern Sea. Therefore, Lin Chen didn’t mind chatting more with him to get a better understanding of the situation in the Northern Sea in advance.

Knowing more is always a good thing.

The group wandered around the pier for a while before returning to the city, where Chen Youdong hosted Lin Chen and the other two in a restaurant that looked very upscale.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere immediately warmed up.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Brother Chen, we didn’t do anything out of the ordinary at the pier. How did you know we would buy tickets for the Sea King?"

Chen Youdong replied with a laugh, "Business is all about harmony and prosperity. When you’re away from home, having more friends means more paths open. I just said a few words; if it helps you, that’s a good thing, and if not, it does no harm, right?"

Raising his wine glass to Lin Chen, Chen Youdong continued, "I’m a businessman, so having a keen eye for people is crucial. The three of you may seem like newcomers, but you’re definitely not just ordinary cultivators. I also want to make friends. If something really comes up, it helps to have connections, to seek a bit of help, doesn’t it?"

Lin Chen chuckled, "Then you’ve misjudged, Brother Chen. Although our strength is passable, if something truly serious occurs in the Endless Sea, and even the guards can’t handle it, I can only wait for death...."
