Chapter 3854 Trade II

?It took them a while to move their eyes away from the elements and turn to the essence roses.

"How much you have?" he asked, and he was not talking about essence roses. "You do not need to be worried about how much I have. You only need to be worried about the things you are trading for them," I replied.

He smiled at that and looked at his girlfriend, who nodded.

A moment later, he brought out a round glass box. The box is divided into two parts. One part has translucent silvery water, while the other part has golden water that, looks like it is flowing despite being stable.

"Are they what I am thinking they are?" I asked with my voice breathless. "Yes. Antediluvian water of space and time," she replied.

I thought, they might not have something, but I was wrong. They have and the value of it is similar to what the twelve elements I have. Together, their value would have been greater, if I didn't have all twelve elements.

Seeing them, my heart started to beat wildly. Those things will help me tremendously, not only in practice but also in artifice, alchemy, and other things.

"I think 1 unit of antediluvian water of space and time for 2.5 units of twelve elements would be the correct trade," said Ven, while I was still looking at the water.

"Do I look like a bumpkin on the street to you?" I asked back and countered it with my offer, which was the opposite of what I had offered, which he rejected immediately.

I offered again, and they rejected, and they offered, and I rejected.

Minutes passed, and we continued. It might seem like, we are not making any progress at all, but we are a lot. Both of us have very rare things and are aware of their values and want a little extra for our things.

"Fine, I will suffer a loss and accept," said Ven finally, while I rolled my eyes. He isn't suffering a loss; we have made a fair deal.

"How many units, you are willing to sell?" I asked, and he smiled. "It seemed like, you have been lucky," he said, and I didn't reply, other than smile, but he was right; I had been lucky.

The thing, I had found accidentally turned out to be extremely valuable. Far more than, I had thought when I saw it for the first time.

"We are willing to sell thirty-seven units," replied Sarena. I couldn't help but be surprised. Thought it would be ten or twelve units and that would have been enough for my needs.

"It seemed like, I wasn't the only lucky one," I said and waved my hand. Their eyes lit up and a moment later more antediluvian water of space and time came.

I took the thirty-seven units of water, while they took the elements of equal value. It is a huge amount, I don't need it, but I am sure, I will need it in the future as this water, is more helpful in the Prime stage, while I am still an Earth Sovereign.

With the most important trade done, their eyes turned to the essence of roses, before turning back to me.

Tap!

"What else do you have to trade?" he asked, and I simply tapped on the desk gently with my finger and immediately thousands of things materialized around the room, each one packed in a sphere of different size.

All kinds of resources are in there, from metal essence fruits to stainless lotuses. There is honey of different kinds and flowers of every color.

The rare soul crystals to spatial seeds to essence to artifacts, everything is for trade as long as they have, the things to offer.

"My god. Even Prime would be killed for these things," he said as he looked at sphere after sphere. These spheres didn't stop them from checking things, they could do everything aside from taking the things out.

The sphere also provides them with complete information on the things contained inside them. Like what they are and what they could be used for.

I didn't say anything and let them look at things. The next trade is going to be more complex.

"I want everything," said Ven after nearly an hour. "Then I hope, you really have things to trade for them," I said with a smile.

"We have some and I hope you will like them," he said and took out thousands of things, along with the big. The room is small, we couldn't bring out, all the things we have.

I have a couple of empty spheres which have nothing, but the information on the things, I have in my storage.

Seeing many of them. My eyes lit up.

He really has good things. Some, I want. So, we started negotiating; it was intense, but fast. We quickly begin to trade one thing after another.

"I think we should take a break. All this negotiating has made me a little hungry," I said. I wouldn't have taken a break if a few hundred things had remained, but there are thousands of them.

"Lunch sounds fine," said Sarena, and a moment later, we walked out of the room.

When we entered the living room. We saw the girl engrossed in reading, with a couple of books floating in front of her.

It took her a while to notice.

"You have an amazing collection, Carlos," said the young girl. "Thank you," I said as I started to prepare the lunch.

It took me an hour to prepare the lunch and another hour to eat before we went back to negotiating.

It was at night before we finished. We had not only traded materialistic things but also knowledge. Though this time, the knowledge isn't as valuable as the last time; I still got some good things.

"Thank you, Carlos. The things we have got from you will help us tremendously," said Sarena as I walked them toward the door after the dinner.

"You don't have to thank. You have paid equal in value," I replied, to which she smiled.

Soon we reached the door, when I decided to ask the question, that had been on my mind for a while.

"If you don't mind, me asking, when are you planning to make a breakthrough?" I asked.

He hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth. "I was planning on doing that after the voyage ends, but now I have changed my mind," he replied. Meaning he will do in it in the next couple of days.

"I have a good breakthrough formation. Good enough, that person next to you won't be able to tell if you are making a breakthrough," I said.

It surprises them a little.

"Thank you for the offer, but I have a breakthrough formation," he replied, and to that I smiled.

The rejection disappointed me, but I don't mind. The breakthroughs are sacred; one doesn't do them in front of the people, that they don't trust.

If I had been in his place, I wouldn't have accepted the offer. I love my secrets, and I don't want anyone to know them. His secrets are just as dangerous and if they came out, it would kill not only him but also his sister and fiancé.
