Their commission was suspicious.

"Four will do," Chen Luo said.

"So cheap?" Xiao Shi was very surprised.

"Haha..." The guard next to him couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Why are you laughing?" Xiao Shi looked at the other person with unfriendly eyes.

Could it be that the other person is looking down on me because I'm new? If so, isn't the slap in the face scene I've been waiting for about to happen?

Thinking about this, Xiao Shi felt a little excited.

"I'm sorry, I've been guarding this gate for decades, and this is the first time I've heard anyone say that the toll is cheap," the other person quickly explained.

After all, no matter which veteran adventurer has lived in the Dimensional Sea for a long time, when it comes to the thing that costs them the most money, it must be the toll fees.

You have to pay a toll every time you enter, and you have to pay it again every time you leave.

And it's really expensive.

If we had to use a metaphor, it would be like a modern person spending 1000 yuan to leave home and then spending another 1000 yuan to return.

It's not that I can't afford it, but it really hurts my wallet.

Xiao Shi is now like that foolish son of a landlord, completely unaware of how valuable the Paradise Gold Coins are.

The guards on the other side were also carefully watching the scales of the transaction, very curious about the origin of the Paradise Gold Coins that the other party had. Four Paradise Gold Coins were worth the toll for 32 people.

The Lawbringer took out four Paradise Gold Coins from his money bag and slowly placed them on the table.

The person who understood the law was very curious about the process by which the scales of exchange determined value, and no one else showed any impatience.

What was there for the guard to be impatient about? He had to stand there all day anyway.

The other people in the bar? They were curious too.

When the Herald of Knowledge placed a Paradise Coin, the number on the balance scale became 22, which means that one Paradise Coin is enough to pay the toll for 10 people.

After all four Paradise Coins were placed on it, the value became -8.

"Wow, that's really true. I originally thought you just used your Paradise Coins for partying at bars, but I didn't expect them to be so valuable." Xiao Shi looked at Chen Luo in surprise.

"Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about me?" Chen Luo used the same method the puppeteer used on him, bending his index finger and pressing the protruding knuckle hard against Xiao Shi's temple.

"It hurts..."

"Let me tell you, my Paradise Coins are soul crystals. Even in the Dimensional Sea, they're incredibly valuable! If I'm not mistaken, the Treasure Basin Camp seems to be a commercial camp. You'll see how valuable Paradise Coins really are once you explore the area." Chen Luo glared at Xiao Shi, then tenderly rubbed Xiao Shi's temples.

"Is it really that valuable? You can get a Paradise Coin by killing 10 zombies." Xiao Shi was still a little confused.

"Is it important how many monsters you kill? What's important is the method for refining soul crystals," Chen Luo explained helplessly.

The importance of technology is self-evident.

Although Chen Luo often humbly admits his shortcomings, he knows how rare his SSS-level talent is and how rare his random items are.

With so many items and abilities available to Chen Luo, the only way to reliably produce Soul Crystals is through Paradise Coins.

Soulfire... counts as half a kind.

Although Chen Luo's Paradise Coins have side effects, at least they can be eaten.

But Soul Fire... If a bad person dares to eat it, they'd be lucky not to be burned to death.

This kind of soul crystal, which has extremely serious side effects, will be very cheap.

Because soul wear and tear is the most frequent negative buff in the Dimensional Sea, the price of soul crystals, which can heal wear and tear, has always remained high.

Moreover, physical strength and mental strength can be trained, but the quality of the soul... under normal circumstances, can only be improved through soul crystallization.

"Soul Coins are rated as 4-star items in the Dimensional Sea." Feeling that Xiao Shi might still not understand, Chen Luo changed to a simpler and easier-to-understand explanation.

"Oh, why didn't you say so earlier?" Xiao Shi suddenly realized.

Hey, I'm incredibly smart, and the reason I don't understand is definitely because Chen Luo's example wasn't good.

"Please wait a moment, I'll give you your change now," the guard said after confirming that the scales were in order.

"Keep the change, consider the rest a tip. Let's go." Chen Luo waved his hand, then pulled Xiao Shi, who was already eager to rush forward, into the safe area.

Chen Luo had to keep a close eye on her; he was worried that Xiao Shi might let go.

"Thank you, boss! 108 in one litter!" The guard was overjoyed.

The reason the guards are willing to send someone to watch the gate is simply for the tip, isn't it?

Within the Dimensional Sea, opening the gate at a safe point is a lucrative task, because you never know who might wander into the vicinity of this camp.

To put it simply, this tip was worth 0.8 Paradise Coins, which is equivalent to 8000 RMB in China, enough to cover half a month's salary for a guard.

However... after watching the others leave, the guard stared intently at the Paradise Coin that was about to be put back into the coin box. Suddenly, he took the Paradise Coin away and then put in 20 more coins issued by the Treasure Bowl.

The guard has rarely seen such a precious thing as a soul crystal in his entire life.

Although the balance of transactions follows the principle of equivalent exchange.

However, the price of a bottle of water differs between the desert and the city.

Moreover, the guards are stationed at the main entrance of the safe point. If someone with a severely damaged soul breaks in and desperately needs a soul crystal, they might be able to make a fortune!

"What? It looks no different from the Adventurers' Market in Orari." The Herrscher of Knowledge scratched her head after entering the safe zone.

"On the surface, of course, there's no difference. At least the ideology is the same. After all, they both make a living through adventure. It's just that in the Dimensional Sea, you're going to explore the Dimensional Sea, and in Orari, you're going to explore the dungeons. And the goods they sell are quite different." Chen Luo said, looking at the row of small vendors on both sides of the road that came into view after entering the safe zone.

What's wrong with the Dimensional Sea? Even if there are many powerful beings in the Dimensional Sea, powerful beings still need to eat.

Furthermore, if everyone is strong, then among the many strong individuals, there will also be weak individuals who serve as the bottom layer.

It's like a top-performing class; although everyone's grades are very high, there's always someone at the bottom of the rankings.

And as long as there is adventure, there will naturally be spoils; with spoils, there will naturally be sales channels.

"If you're confident in your eye, you can try searching for treasures at the street stalls. You might just find something good. In larger stores that are trying to grow, there's a system in place to ensure there are no fakes, but you also can't expect to find a bargain. On the other hand, at these small stalls, since they're just temporary locations, people don't usually have a system in place, so you might be able to find something good."

"Just think of this as opening a blind box. But I have to warn you... 90% of the goods in this market are overpriced," Chen Luo said.

"Isn't that leaving the remaining 10%?"

“There are 9% counterfeit items. Only the remaining 1% have a chance of being a bargain. And since there’s no trading scale at the stall, you’ll need to go to the foreign exchange office next door and exchange Paradise Gold Coins for Gold Coins issued by the Treasure Basin Camp through the trading scale,” Chen Luo said.

“…Then let’s forget it.” Xiao Shi said with an awkward smile.

Because Xiao Shi had actually worked with a con artist, he knew just how deep the waters of the con artist world really ran.

"But how come you're so familiar with the Treasure Basin camp?" Xiao Shi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"...It's just the result of our reconnaissance capabilities quickly gathering a large amount of information after we arrived at the safe point. Don't worry about it." Chen Luo waved his hand.

This wasn't entirely a lie. To accommodate Xiao Shi's desire to surprise him, Chen Luo actually concealed his knowledge of the Treasure Basin camp.

However, the reconnaissance capabilities did indeed quickly gather information within the safe zone after entering it.

While reconnaissance abilities may not be able to exert their full power in the Dimensional Sea, they can still provide comprehensive knowledge within a medium-sized safe zone.

Because those special shields isolated the negative effects of the dimensional sea, they also freed up reconnaissance capabilities.

"Everyone is free to do as they please now. Just be careful not to attract attention when you enter the bar. Dismissed," Chen Luo announced in the tone of a teacher leading elementary school students on a spring outing.

"I think I have a pretty good eye, so I've decided to try and snag some bargains. Anyone want to team up?" Yukari Yakumo asked.

"I'll stick to the legitimate shops that have a fair system for transactions."

In the common knowledge of the Dimensional Sea, a shop with a trading scale is not necessarily a legitimate shop, but a shop without a trading scale is definitely a shady shop.

The widespread use of the balance sheet in transactions is evident.

The wealth amassed by that alchemist with the talent for equivalent exchange is thus evident.

In particular, other alchemists cannot replicate it, because there is currently only one alchemist in the entire Dimensional Sea with the talent of equivalent exchange.

It's not that the talent for equivalent exchange is so rare, but rather that among those with the talent for equivalent exchange, this is the only one who can be an alchemist.

The alchemist's talent only emerges after one becomes an alchemist.

Therefore, it can be inferred that perhaps everyone in reality has superpowers. Some people's superpower is that they won't twist their ankles when going down stairs, some people's superpower is that they won't get carsick, and some people's superpower is that they will definitely be unharmed after a car accident...

But because no accidents are expected, it cannot be dug out.

"Chen Luo, help me!" Yakumo Yukari, followed by two or three people, walked up to Chen Luo.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"...You want me, a dignified SSS-level talent, to accompany you to scavenge for bargains?" Chen Luo almost choked on his breath.

"Since you have a talent for investigation, you must be able to find something worthwhile. Otherwise, why would I come to you?"

"...Here you go." Chen Luo threw a stack of papers directly at Yakumo Yukari's chest.

"This is……"

"I've marked all the bargains you can find at the stalls in the Treasure Basin camp. Go on your way." Chen Luo waved his hand.

"Huh? I thought we'd split the profits 50/50. What's wrong? Are you in such a hurry today?" Yukari Yakumo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Heh, just picking up a bargain... I have something much bigger to do. The reward for success will be at least a hundred times higher than picking up a bargain. Oh, by the way, remember to pick up the bargain again later for 55 points."

"..." Just moments ago, Yukari Yakumo was shocked by the benefits brought by Chen Luo's generosity, but the next second she began to feel sorry for him.

Why did I have to ask that question?

Indeed, curiosity killed the cat.

"So where are you going next? Would you mind sharing your plans?" Yukari Yakumo couldn't help but ask.

Since I've already paid tuition out of curiosity, I naturally have to get to the bottom of it.

“Go and meet with the camp manager,” Chen Luo said.

What are you going to do?

"I told you, we're going to do something big." Chen Luo gave a mysterious smile.

"But can the leader of such a large camp just build it whenever he wants?" Yukari Yakumo wondered.

"Zi, don't imagine the Dimensional Sea to be so terrifying. With your strength, you can be considered a strong person in the Dimensional Sea," Chen Luo said.

"Of course, it's not particularly strong, so don't go looking for trouble. Some of the items in the Dimensional Sea are quite disgusting," Chen Luo added.

Just like in the world of the Little Garden, no matter how strong you are, you have to be careful. Otherwise, like the White Demon, who had a strength of two digits, you would be trapped by a demon king with five digits using the authority of the host, which would be a huge embarrassment.

[White Demon: I have been whipped on the back of my corpse countless times...]

"So you're planning to infiltrate that chieftain's house?"

"Why would you think that?" Chen Luo asked, surprised.

"After all... you don't know anyone at the Treasure Basin camp."

"Didn't I tell you?"

"What did you say?"

"My puppet master is still somewhat respected in the Dimensional Sea."

How much thin noodles?

"Hmm...you'll find out in half an hour." Chen Luo didn't know how to explain.

[Camp Leader: Boss, you're here? Shall I offer you a toast to liven things up?]

Half an hour later...

Jubao Pen Camp Announcement: The park's shops are now open, with the main business being the sale of Soul Crystals.

(P.S.: If you sign a contract with this shop, you can upgrade your weapon for free and gain the ability to obtain Soul Crystals by killing monsters. The profit sharing ratio between the adventurer and the shop is 2:8... 80% goes to the shop. Limited spots available, first come, first served.)

After seeing the announcement, the entire Treasure Basin camp fell silent for a moment, and then the atmosphere instantly exploded.

"What? It's probably the shop owner's? What kind of shady shop is this? Brother, listen to me, let's not go there. We won't tolerate this kind of shop."

"Okay... but why are you packing up?"

"Uh...it's going to rain, should I go home and bring in the laundry?"

"I don't believe you!"

In just three minutes, all one thousand contract slots at the Treasure Basin Camp were snapped up by the frenzied adventurers from the Dimensional Sea.

Three minutes is merely the limit of the speed at which the amusement park dolls issue contracts, not the limit of the fervor of the adventurers in the Dimensional Sea.
