Chapter 2708: Chapter 1168: Mutual Exchange of Needs (Part 2)

This situation is universal, and various beliefs are the same.

"Thank you." Crowned Valentino nodded in acknowledgment and then refrained from speaking further.

To someone as proud as him, this was a situation that caused public embarrassment, a bit unbearable.

Gaven did not entangle himself with this issue further, turning to the Star Spiral Dwarf Clan Chief encircling the Earth Stone and said: "You shouldn’t need me to explain its value and function to you, right, Chief?"

"No need, no need, no need." Surilla repeated.

Her eyes also shone with light, but it wasn’t greed, it was excitement.

"Perfect, truly perfect. This carries a divine power of Mother Earth; this is the handiwork of the Great Mother.

No wonder it’s called the Earth Stone; it clearly suppresses the earth veins and can balance the earth vein magma, and even the Power of Flames of the Fire Elemental Plane.

We can completely design equipment for it, extracting its Power of Flames for our use, to build a brand new Dwarven steel forging production line, just unsure if there are iron mines under the Marching Mountains."

The Star Spiral Dwarf Clan Chief circled the Earth Stone, muttering her thoughts.

"I don’t know about iron mines, but there are definitely gold mines, and it already has the ability to automatically refine gold ore."

Gaven stopped being mysterious, directly outlining his plan: "I want to build not only a Mountain City for the Golia Tribe here but also an automated coin mint to mass-produce these Dual Deity Coins..."

As he spoke, golden light bloomed in Gaven’s hand, and a Dual Deity Coin appeared from thin air.

It wasn’t that Primordial Dual Deity Coin sub-divine artifact, it was shaped by the Trade Lady in his soul with Wealth Divine Power.

For Woken, this was an easy task; as long as she had seen a currency, she could shape it with divine power, with no concern about authenticity, it was simply real, though she rarely did so.

Currency is a measurement tool, its value is determined by the entire society’s productivity, its intrinsic value is relatively limited.

If divine power is used to mint it indiscriminately on a large scale, it would trigger unnecessary economic fluctuations, not benefitting the development of her divine power, but leading to contrary effects.

If necessary, the Goddess of Wealth wouldn’t mind granting this favor, depending on if greater value could be created.

It’s not that Gaven is reluctant to show the Primordial Dual Deity Coin, but rather he doesn’t want to further provoke the two Giant Dragons behind the Dragon Contract Mages.

The Earth Stone alone is enough for them to covet; adding a Gold Coin sub-divine artifact, who knows what crazy actions they might undertake.

As the saying goes, wealth should not be shown lightly.

Some things are shown to them because they are the foundation of cooperation.

But for other non-essential items, there’s no need for showy display.

Was it Gaven’s illusion? Even faced with such an ordinary Dual Deity Coin, the pupils of the two Dragon Contract Mages involuntarily contracted, their dragon vertical pupils fleetingly visible.

In terms of the aesthetic appeal of the Dual Deity Coin, Gaven was filled with confidence that no creature could find fault with it.

"An automated coin mint?" Star Spiral Dwarf Clan Chief Surilla immediately responded, excitedly inquiring, "Could it be that the Rebooter wishes to entrust this task to our Star Spiral Clan?" ℴ

"I wonder if I have that honor?" Gaven answered the question with a counter-question.

"It’s our honor." Surilla, overwhelmed with excitement, almost danced, but then a question surfaced in her mind: "Why doesn’t the Rebooter entrust this task to Giharin Clan Leader and his Black Iron Clan?"

This kind of opportunity shouldn’t start from one’s own insiders?

How could it be given to outsiders like them?

"Giharin Clan Leader and his clan are merely temporarily residing in Colossus City, regrouping the Black Iron Clan, and once they are prepared, they will inevitably embark on the quest to reclaim the Tesser Yama Mine."

Gaven explained: "Moreover, the operation of a single Colossus City already consumes most of their energy; if you add the construction of the underground railcar, even if the number of dwarves in Colossus City were to triple, it wouldn’t be enough."

His given explanation was certainly straightforward, but his real motive was to avoid placing all eggs in one basket—not wanting to be overly dependent on the Black Iron Clan led by Giharin Clan Leader.

Especially since both the coin mint and steel factory fall under hard currency, constituting the lifeline of a territory.

Placing them in different locations, in different hands, is the key to maintaining long-term stability.

"The Rebooter’s vision is even broader than legends say." Surilla held no doubt, instead giving Gaven’s explanation a thumbs-up.

As a dwarf, she could better understand the restoration ambitions of Giharin’s leading Black Iron Clan.

This persistence is ingrained in every dwarf’s bones, not withering with time, but deeply intensifying.

The rebooter Colossus City might be wonderful, but it’s not their mines, nor their former homeland; even though it may not compare to the new home, they cannot completely let go.

Unless, upon reclaiming, they find it no longer able to sustain their dwarf life, they might voluntarily abandon it.

"This naturally is a mutually beneficial situation: Giharin Clan Leader and his clan have a place to recuperate and regroup, while I use their hand to fully reboot Colossus City; without them, how could Colossus City reboot so swiftly, reaching the current annual production of one hundred thousand tons?"
