Chapter 633: Yu Yuan and Greenfield’s First In-Person Meeting, Haggling

The moment Yu Yuan returned to the Green Forest World,

he immediately received several messages sent by Greenfield.

They covered all kinds of topics, all sent during the time Yu Yuan had been inside the relic.

The most common question was what on earth he had been doing.

If the two of them weren’t allies now, and could be sure Yu Yuan was still alive,

Greenfield would probably have already started mourning him.

After skimming the messages, Yu Yuan realized that far more had happened in the past few days than usual.

Coupled with the spoils he’d just retrieved from the civilization relic, Yu Yuan felt it was necessary to meet this ally face-to-face.

So when Greenfield saw Yu Yuan’s invitation to meet, she froze for a moment.

[Greenfield Cruise Ship: You finally appeared! But is there something you need to discuss in person?]

Greenfield, as the representative of the Twin Fish, the embodiment of intensified spirituality and inspiration, was also the poster child for homebodies.

Her meaning was clear: don’t go out unless absolutely necessary.

She embodied the “homebody” label perfectly.

But when she saw the item information Yu Yuan had sent, her attitude made a complete one hundred and eighty degree U-turn.

-

The Mysterious Magic Alley.

As one of the few peaceful worlds within the entire Civilization Ladder that allowed cross-tier teleportation,

it held special strategic value and significance.

But precisely because of that, every player entering here had to pay a hefty fee.

The cost of living here was equally steep.

Players who came and went were often of special status or carried unsavory secrets.

Therefore, rooms and venues here were equipped with dedicated anti-snooping and interference devices,

thoroughly protecting client privacy.

This was the core competitive advantage of the world.

For that reason, it was beloved by certain players,

and had become the prime location for negotiations.

Outside a private room.

“Yu Yuan?” Greenfield pushed open the door and saw Yu Yuan waiting inside, asking the question.

She did not get the response she expected.

She only saw Yu Yuan’s stunned, incredulous expression.

Greenfield frowned slightly.

She glanced back at the room number.

No mistake!

At that moment, Yu Yuan recovered his wits.

He immediately said, “It’s me. You’re Greenfield? Come in quickly!”

Although it was a question, his tone left no doubt, and it carried a trace of shock.

In truth, tumult churned inside Yu Yuan at that second.

His gaze landed on Greenfield again.

Like!

It really was uncanny!

Green hair, the same prophetic talent, and the same face.

Greenfield was practically a clone of Absinthe!

Yu Yuan had not expected that his first in-person meeting with Greenfield would lead to the discovery of such a startling secret.

The present-day Greenfield and the memory of Absinthe in Mortarian’s records looked exactly the same when young.

This could not possibly be a coincidence.

After Yu Yuan’s confirmation, Greenfield reentered the room and closed the door behind her.

She naturally noticed the change in Yu Yuan’s expression. Honestly, his stare made her uneasy.

“What are you looking at?”

Greenfield frowned, directing the question at Yu Yuan.

“Nothing!”

Yu Yuan snapped back to reality; he had no intention of explaining.

Whether or not Greenfield was related to Absinthe, she was now simply his ally.

There was no need for him to jump to unnecessary conclusions.

Several items rested on the table in front of him.

They were the prophetic objects he’d found on the second level of the Place of Divine Rest related to Absinthe.

Crystal ball, pendulum, star-gazing telescope, Tarot cards, and so on…

All items associated with prophecy, which meant little to Yu Yuan personally.

Better to hand them to Greenfield, his ally in prophecy, than let them gather dust in his inventory.

“I think you’ll want these. Don’t say I don’t think of you as an ally. Of course… you’ll have to pay for them!”

When those items appeared, Greenfield’s eyes already sparkled.

That was the look of being smitten.

The Virtual Light Screen displayed each item’s information and quality tier.

Legendary, legendary, legendary…

All of these items were, without exception, Legendary quality.

And all tied to prophecy.

Greenfield had no resistance before these items.

Or rather, no prophet could resist the temptation of these objects.

She was completely captivated.

Only one thought occupied her mind:

Take them all, take every single one, leave none behind.

Yu Yuan watched Greenfield’s reaction and frowned slightly.

Hmm?

No reaction?

That shouldn’t be!

These were Absinthe’s belongings. In Yu Yuan’s thinking, if Greenfield really had some link to Absinthe, seeing these items should have produced at least some sign.

But Greenfield’s reaction felt too ordinary.

She looked like any fan seeing coveted items.

Yet Greenfield raised her head and fixed Yu Yuan with a burning gaze.

Her eyes showed reluctance and struggle.

“Damn it, my little money…”

At the thought that her hard-earned survival points might be drained this time, Greenfield felt pain in her heart.

But she couldn’t bring herself to give up these Legendary prophecy items.

So she turned her gaze to Yu Yuan,

her dearest ally.

A somewhat clumsy flattering, pleading smile appeared on Greenfield’s face.

“Ally, you’re too kind. You thought of me first when you got these.”

“But these things are just too expensive, I can’t afford them! For the sake of our alliance, could you give me a discount?”

Yu Yuan raised a brow, tapped his chin, and gave an amused smile.

“Oh? How much discount do you want? You know the market well—Legendary items rarely trade openly. Each Legendary item can change a player’s power and survival capability.

Not to mention these are top-tier prophetic Legends.

I don’t need to say how valuable they are! Even though we’re allies, I risked my life to obtain these!”

Hearing Yu Yuan, Greenfield pursed her lips, her gaze flickering.

She understood his words perfectly.

Legendary prophecy items were the most valuable of all item types.

Even Epic-level prophecy gear could be worth several to over ten times other Epic items.

This had to do with the rarity of prophetic players and market dynamics.

And these items, even among Legendary gear, were the crème de la crème—capable of driving Golden-tier prophets into a frenzy.

But she was so reluctant to part with her “little treasury”!

She hesitated a moment, then, under Yu Yuan’s watchful look, she extended her hand and made a “five” gesture.

“Half off!”

The next moment,

the items on the table all vanished.

A warm smile spread across Yu Yuan’s face.

“All right, let’s forget about that and move on to the next topic.”

Yu Yuan’s brisk decisiveness left Greenfield stunned.

She leaned forward, hands on the table, eyes flashing danger.

“Hey, that’s too much! These items are so expensive, how could I possibly afford them? As an ally, give me a break—it’s what allies do, help each other!”

“Besides, I paid a big price to help you before. I hid the Spiritual Dimension location for you, and I didn’t charge!”

Yu Yuan deliberately put on a look of sudden realization and glanced at Greenfield.

“What? You mean that The Forgotten Corner of Fate status was cast on me by you? The Twin Fish’s Fate Compass is in your possession?”

Greenfield raised her head proudly and snorted.

The Twin Fish’s Fate Compass appeared in front of her.

“Of course! I’ve been wholeheartedly dedicated to you, and you come here to talk money!”

Watching Greenfield perform,

Yu Yuan suppressed a laugh. He immediately formed a hand gesture and flashed an “eight.”

“Twenty percent off!”

“That’s too high, you black-hearted fish… at most forty percent off, we’re allies…”

“You could sign a debt contract…”
