Why is my territory in a 2D anime art style?

"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Zheng Xifeng asked with a smile as he looked at Sui An.

Sui An, who was standing by the wall, glanced at Wang Zhen and saw him nod imperceptibly before opening the energy shield to let Zheng Xifeng and Wang Zhen in.

The three of them stood at the door of the wooden house, and Zheng Xifeng was very straightforward.

"A blacksmith in the blacksmith's guild has taken a liking to this blueprint. He's a friend of mine, so I'm here to act as his middleman and talk to you. Ping An Trading Company is the official trading company in Jiangcheng, and you're also a member of Wang Zhen's family, so I won't beat around the bush. Young man, name your price."

Sui An was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected the blueprint to be so popular that even people within the Chamber of Commerce had asked the captain to come and buy it. This was a genuine Level 5 professional, a highly respected figure in the entire merchant transport team.

After a moment of silence, Sui An turned and asked, "If the transaction for these blueprints is successful, will the Chamber of Commerce still credit Zhen-ge's performance?"

Zheng Xifeng looked at Sui An with surprise, then glanced at Wang Zhen beside him out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that Wang Zhen was standing there calmly without saying or showing any expression, Zheng Xifeng chuckled softly.

"You're quite protective of your own, of course. I, Zheng Xifeng, would never take advantage of my subordinates."

"Then please have Captain Zheng name a price first." Sui An looked at Zheng Xifeng with bright eyes.

"I don't think the business would take advantage of a newcomer like me, and I also believe that Captain Zheng wouldn't mistreat his subordinates."

"Oh, young man, you're actually challenging me?" Zheng Xifeng narrowed his eyes. His eyebrows were thick and his expression was very imposing. When he put on a stern face, he exuded an aura of authority without even trying.

But Sui An didn't care. Wang Zhen's attitude from the beginning had already made it clear, so he just quietly watched Zheng Xifeng.

Seeing that Sui An did not budge, Zheng Xifeng suddenly chuckled.

"Alright, I'll offer my blacksmith friend 600 Originium. What do you think?"

Sui An pondered for a moment. After what happened last night, he was even more determined to convert all his resources into strength. Although the blueprint was good, it couldn't alleviate his worries.

Moreover, 600 yuan is clearly beyond my expectations. Is this blue blueprint really that valuable?

It seems I underestimated the quality of blue items. Perhaps it's because I bought a set for only 5 Originium with my cheat code, and then every loot I got was either green or blue, making me think that blue items were too easy to obtain.

Thinking of this, Sui An replied solemnly.

"Captain Zheng, you're very straightforward. I won't beat around the bush either. How about adding a little more, 666 Originium Stones, for good luck?"

"666~" Zheng Xifeng repeated softly, then nodded.

"Then let's go with your price. Now can I see your drawings?"

"Of course." Sui An took the blue orb out of the house and handed it over. Zheng Xifeng glanced at the information inside the orb carefully and then nodded.

"It's definitely a good seller!"

"Young man, do you want all level 1 Originium, or the higher-level ones?"

Sui An was slightly taken aback, then remembered that 666 source stones were quite a lot, but he didn't need the high-grade ones for now, so he quickly replied.

"Level 1 is fine!"

The exchange rate for Tier 2 Originium remains stable at 2 to 1, and interestingly, the cheat code thinks so too.

Zheng Xifeng nodded, casually tossed the ball of light into Wang Zhen's hand, and then waved to the transport vehicle outside.

"Xiao Fang, bring the black box from my car over!"

Soon, someone led a square box over from the transport vehicle. The black box wasn't large, but when Zheng Xifeng opened it in front of Sui An, it was surprising to find that the space inside seemed quite spacious.

As Zheng Xifeng lifted the box and flipped it over, many Origin Stones rolled out, each a few centimeters in size, covering the entire ground.

"A spatial artifact!" Sui An looked at the black box in surprise; the spatial proportions were clearly wrong.

Aside from the Lord's Core and the Loot Orb, this was the first time he had ever seen something that could store Originium in such a large volume.

However, the loot orb is disposable; once you crush it and take out what's inside, it's gone.

"Hey, this is my treasure, a secret gem!" Zheng Xifeng smiled smugly at Sui An's surprised expression.

"There are 700 level 1 Originium here. Count 666 of them. Your room is too small, so I have to lie down on the floor. I don't mean to insult you."

"No, no, it's not that bad~" Sui An quickly bent down. He never thought that one day he would actually have to count money on the ground. That's the bad thing about trading Origin Stones. They take up too much space.

After counting for a while, Sui An finally distributed his source stones to the side, and the young man next to him also picked up the remaining 34 stones and put them back into the box.

"The payment is settled, I'll be leaving now. Wang Zhen, you can handle this batch of meat yourself. I'm going to watch the show!"

Zheng Xifeng took the light orb, chuckled, picked up the box, waved to Wang Zhen and Sui An, and then left the territory first.

"While you were counting the money, I also thought about the meat. Should we sell it all?"

Wang Zhen also walked over from the side, and his position was also quite special, a bit far from the pile of source stones on the ground.

"They're all for sale, Brother Zhen. What are those eight red birds, and how much do they cost?"

When the topic turned to selling meat, Sui An immediately turned his attention away from the source stones on the ground.

Wang Zhen held a shorthand notebook in his hand. There were quite a few items this time, and the people on the bus had already gotten off and started weighing them.

"That's a Firefeather Eagle, a level 2 source beast. Since it's a bird, it's hard to calculate the price based on its pure meat. I'll give you a price of 8 source stones."

"Three Shadow Spiders. Their meat isn't worth much; it's only worth 2 Originium."

"I've categorized the remaining Level 1 Source Beasts into those that are purely fleshy and those that are not."

"The pure meat weighs 5546 jin, and after extracting it, I'll give you 40 Originium. The non-pure meat weighs 1231 jin in total, but since it has scales and armor, I can't calculate the price for each one, so I'll just say 10 Originium."

"So there are a total of 60 Originium."

Wang Zhen added and subtracted from the notebook, finally pulled out a list, tore it off, and handed it to Sui An with a strange smile on his face.

"Not counting the blueprints, you earn more in a day than I do in a month."

Sui An reached out and took the form, glanced at it briefly, and said with a smile.

"Hey Zhen, don't be envious. Last night I used up 90 Originium. If I had less in stock, I would have been out of energy by now!"

Wang Zhen rolled his eyes at Sui An, annoyed. With a cost of 90 yuan, he made at least two or three hundred source stones. Wasn't he satisfied with such a profit?

Just as he was about to turn around to get the source stone, Sui An suddenly reached out and grabbed Wang Zhen.

"Brother Zhen, wait a minute, I have something else I need you to take a look at!"

"???"

Wang Zhen suddenly had a bad feeling. "You bastard, you're not going to come up with another set of blueprints, are you?"

Sui An threw out two white orbs of light from the room. Wang Zhen quickly caught them and breathed a sigh of relief after glancing at them.

"Thank goodness, it's just ingredients~"

Wang Zhen accidentally blurted out his innermost thoughts. The usually composed Wang Zhen has recently been unable to hold back, and his mentality has deteriorated.

"Brother Zhen, do you recognize what kind of material this is? How much can it sell for?" Sui An asked as he approached.

"Two portions of limestone cores add up to 10 pieces, and three portions of white ironstone add up to 18 pieces; these are all common materials."

Wang Zhen pondered for a moment and remembered the approximate price. He took out one of the light orbs and looked at Sui An with a strange gaze, asking curiously.

"But don't you recognize this limestone core?"

"Huh, should I recognize him?" Sui An was a little dumbfounded. How did he suddenly become looked down upon?

Wang Zhen said irritably, "Is this the material you're using for your initial wall?"

"Huh? This..."

Sui An was dumbfounded. He really didn't know, because this thing came with the territory's expansion. He hadn't even had time to repair the walls since his territory was opened, so naturally he didn't know.

Wang Zhen tossed the limestone core back to Sui An: "Keep this. Your section of the wall is completely damaged. You'll need at least one core material to repair it."

"Oh, okay!" Upon seeing the wall, Sui An suddenly remembered something and quickly replied.

"Brother Zhen, could you help me see if I can buy any blueprints for a wall? I need green quality ones; I probably can't afford the blue ones."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you." Wang Zhen nodded, took a bag out of the car, filled it with some source stones, and tossed it to Sui An.

"Here are 78 Originium. Count them."

Sui An roughly counted: "Yes, yes."

"Okay, then I'll leave." Wang Zhen was about to leave when he suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around to look at Sui An, and pointed to the west.

"Things might be a bit turbulent lately, so be careful and watch out for combat professionals appearing on the plains."

Sui An's smile vanished instantly, and he nodded.
