Please be my partner.

The Collector said, "A standard copy costs 20000 magic gold coins."

"Magic gold coins?" Melen looked puzzled.

The collector explained, "Magic Gold Coins are a type of gold coin manufactured in the Demon Realm. Essentially, Magic Gold is not much different from gold in other worlds, but it contains the laws of the Demon Realm, so it cannot be imitated."

"The Demon Realm is a renowned commercial world, jointly governed by ten trans-world chambers of commerce. Therefore, the Demon Gold Coin is considered a general currency, and through the influence of these trans-world chambers of commerce, it has spread throughout the myriad worlds."

Melen sighed in his heart, it is true that first-rate companies set standards, second-rate companies create brands, and third-rate companies make products. The so-called top ten cross-world chambers of commerce control the currency of magic gold coins, so it is really difficult not to get rich.

Melen said: "You should know that I don't have any magic gold coins."

The collector nodded and said, "The exchange rate between Magic Gold Coins and ordinary gold coins is roughly 1:100. This ratio will fluctuate depending on the strength of the world itself. After all, the output and basic prices of each world are different."

As he spoke, the collector handed over a magic gold coin. On the front of the coin was a building that looked like a chamber of commerce, and on the back was a pattern of a mountain. There was indeed an inexplicable aura lingering on it, which should be the so-called laws of the Demonic World.

Melen discovered that the magic gold coins were not much different from the gold coins he used every day in terms of weight and size.

The collector explained, "The standard for magic gold has been unified for who knows how many years. Following the example of the upper world, each world has naturally forged its gold coins into a similar shape to facilitate transactions."

Mellen nodded and didn't dwell on it too much.

What he was thinking about now was that one piece of Void Gold actually cost 20000 Magic Gold Coins, which was equivalent to 2000000 gold coins. Even if Melen could now mobilize the assets of the Fairy Tale Alliance and the King's Right Wing, this was not a small amount for him.

Of course, he could still come up with the money, but the point was, if Void Gold was already this good, then what about the dimensional matter that even collectors found difficult?!

When Mellen asked this question, the collector fell silent.

After a long pause, the collector said, "Dimensional materials are far more precious than Void Gold. The Baisha Chamber of Commerce naturally has some, but with my authority, I cannot use this precious resource for trading. If you want it, I can only think of three ways..."

Mellen had already given up hope after hearing the first half of the collector's words, but he didn't expect such a turn of events in the end. He looked at the latter with anticipation.

The collector didn't keep the secret and said directly, "The first is a large-scale auction. This is the easiest way to use magic gold coins to purchase dimensional materials. The disadvantage is that it requires a sufficient amount of magic gold coins, and if there are many competitors, the premium can be very high."

"The second method is private sale. The advantage of this method is that dimensional materials have their own value range, so there won't be a huge overvaluation. The disadvantage is that those who can afford treasures of this level are usually well-off, and they often trade through barter. If you can't produce a treasure that will attract them, I'm afraid the transaction won't even begin."

"The third option is to explore the dimension. I can only say that the dimensional world is unpredictable and mysterious. Some people may return with a full load after just one trip, while others may be hunted by great beings the moment they enter. The uncertainty is too great."

After saying this, Mellen waited for a moment to digest the information before continuing, "The first method, purchasing through an auction, is the safest. I can help you keep an eye out for information on various auctions, and I'll notify you as soon as any dimensional matter appears."

"Secondly, I can connect you with the Chamber of Commerce, but after all, I'm only a Level 3 walker with limited authority, and those bigwigs might not give me the benefit of the doubt. As for the third option, I don't recommend it. But if you insist, I can only help you gather the relevant information as best I can, and then I wish you the best of luck."

To be honest, after hearing these words, the collector can be said to have done his best. Even if Mellen fails to obtain the dimensional material through him in the end, he still needs to remember this favor.

Mellen was actually quite helpless. He sought void gold and dimensional matter. His main purpose was to evolve Garuru so that the mechanical dog could break through to the legendary level more easily and quickly.

But if it takes him three to five years just to find these things, then its significance to him will be greatly reduced, because by that time, Garuru will probably become a legend just by relying on his own growth.

Mellen pondered for a moment and asked, "Why are you helping me like this?"

The collector said naturally, "As a member of the Baisha Chamber of Commerce, my status is tied to transactions. If I can attract some high-quality clients and regularly obtain rare treasures, I can also be promoted quickly. I think you have the potential to become a high-quality client, so I'm investing in you in advance."

Mellen nodded, feeling that this was in line with the other party's position as a businessman.

Melen said seriously, "I want to buy a Void Gold, and please help me keep an eye out for dimensional matter. In addition, I also want relevant knowledge about dimensions. How much magic gold will I need for all this?"

The collector smiled and said, "20000 Void Gold, 3000 for some dimensional knowledge. I need to remind you that the dimensional knowledge purchased with 3000 Magic Gold Coins is only within my authority. It is far from enough to support your dimensional exploration. Are you sure you still want to buy it?"

Mellen hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "Yes."

Mellen certainly does not intend to start exploring the dimensional world, but this does not prevent him from being exposed to relevant knowledge in advance. After all, no one can tell which will come first, an accident or tomorrow.

Suddenly, Mellen's heart moved, and he asked suspiciously, "Did you bring this Void Gold from the Baisha Chamber of Commerce? Or did you get it in this world?"

"Well..." The collector's expression froze, revealing a hint of embarrassment. He smiled and said, "That's why I said that I came to the Blue and Green Realm to pick up bargains."

Melen suddenly understood and was even more speechless. The collector had been so dedicated before, and he thought he was a nice person. But now he realized once again what it meant to be dishonest in business.

With the current extraordinary level of the world, it is probably impossible to understand the preciousness of Void Gold. If you meet someone who doesn't know much about it, he will use Void Gold as a material for making space items, and he might spend hundreds or thousands of gold coins on it.

More importantly, the collector had clearly said before, "I do have some metals that contain spatial properties!"

This will bring in thousands of times the profit!

Of course, businessmen always buy low and sell high. It’s just that the difference between the low and high of this guy in front of me is a little bit larger.

In this case, it is no wonder that the dragon clan would lay the groundwork for their return at the end of the extraordinary era.

After quickly adjusting his somewhat unbalanced mentality, Melen asked weakly, "Do you accept extraordinary items, extraordinary materials, or anything like that?"

The collector smiled and said, "Of course, and I can buy it at the Chamber of Commerce's normal price."

Mellen nodded, understanding what the Collector meant.

Because of the different rules, each world may produce unique treasures or specialties, which often results in certain things being very cheap in the current world, but very valuable on the Wanjie Communication Platform.

In a weak world like the Blue and Green Realm, the value of various items is usually lower than their actual value in the Ten Thousand Realms.

Although the Chamber of Commerce purchase price mentioned by collectors is also lower than the normal market price, it is already a huge discount and profit for Mellen.

Mellen directly poured out a large pile of miscellaneous extraordinary items and materials. It can be said that except for commemorative items like the [Faceless Man] and the [Black Beetle], he did not keep anything else that was useless to him.

The collector paid no attention to the pile of items. Instead, he looked at the back of Mellen's hand. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he said subconsciously: "Plane seeds? World fragments? Void secret realm? Huh? Could it be a space wonder?!"

Mellen frowned slightly.

Seeing this, the collector quickly retracted the brilliance in his eyes and said apologetically, "Sorry, sorry, it's just professional custom. Don't worry, we at the Baisha Chamber of Commerce have a vow to never disclose a guest's information without their consent."

After a brief hesitation, the Collector added, "Although any oath or contract has loopholes that can be exploited, it's just a matter of price. But I will absolutely abide by my oath and will not disclose your intelligence information."

These words made Melen feel a little relieved, but a trace of vigilance also arose in his heart. Since the collector said so, it meant that the value of the fairy tale kingdom might be beyond his imagination.

Mellen asked, "What were those things you just mentioned?"

The Collector explained, "A plane seed can be thought of as the embryonic form of a world. Given enough time and the right methods, it can be cultivated into a world of its own. However, the investment required is enormous, and the harvesting process takes too long."

"World fragments are the remnants of a world's collapse. Because they still carry some of the world's laws, their value is usually not low."

"The origins of the Void Secret Realm are much more complicated. Some are extremely tiny fragments of the world, and some are bubbles generated outside the world. Basically, it can be equivalent to a large space."

"As for spatial wonders..." The collector paused before continuing, "Wonderful objects are generally created by chance and are rarely artificially created. In different worlds, they are called different things, such as divine objects, holy objects, heaven-sent objects, forbidden objects, etc. They often contain one or more unique laws rarely seen in the ordinary world. Those that contain laws related to space are called spatial wonders."

"It is said that due to the inherent laws, rare objects can be cultivated to at least the Saint level."

Melen suddenly had a clearer understanding of the preciousness of the fairy tale kingdom.

The collector shrugged and said, "In a world like the Blue and Green Realm, where the spiritual tide has returned, it's actually easier to breed rare items. However, mastering rare items often requires extremely harsh conditions. Some even require a specific time node. Once you miss the opportunity, there will be no chance again. Therefore, there are actually very few rare items that can be mastered by humans."

After saying this, the collector resisted the urge to ask questions and began to count the debris on the ground.

As a flash of light swept across, the collector said, "The total value is 4685 magic gold coins."

Melen nodded and said, "Void Gold and some dimensional knowledge, a total of 23000 Magic Gold Coins. That means I still need to pay 18315 Magic Gold Coins. The rest will be paid with ordinary gold coins."

The collector smiled slightly and took out two things. One was a fist-sized, translucent substance with dark golden starlight flowing on it, and the other was a memory crystal.

Under Mellen's somewhat surprised gaze, the collector handed over the two things.

Melendao took it without much hesitation.

The fist-sized substance was Void Gold. It felt unexpectedly heavy in the hand. The material did not feel like metal, but rather like some kind of jade. Melen used his mental power to explore it slightly and immediately felt that there was a space inside it.

Mellen jokingly said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with the stuff and not give you the final payment?"

The collector confidently responded: "Don't worry! I believe in my vision, and I also believe that you are not short-sighted."

"With my help, you can go faster and further. You need me now, and I need you in the future. Together we will both benefit!"

Mellen restrained his smile and nodded seriously.

Chapter 213 The Last Dream

After exchanging contact information, Mellen left the collector.

It was late at night when I got home, so I let the dogs move freely in the room, except for Garuru of course. With the weight of the mechanical dog, the whole house might not be able to withstand its tossing and turning.

As the big brother, Spike was naturally familiar with Mellen's room. He found a familiar corner and lay down to rest.

The golden retriever glanced at Spike with disdain, then squatted obediently beside Mellen. As a loyal dog, he should always wait for his master's call.

Little Liuli seemed to be very curious about the room. Little Honglian, as the 'little' big brother, explained all kinds of things to it. The two little guys were running around, looking very lively.

Mellen stroked the golden retriever's head and was about to study his harvest, but this action immediately attracted the attention of two little things. Xiao Honglian and Xiao Liuli jumped into his arms one after another, looking like a spoiled child asking for a touch.

Mellen had no choice but to play with the little guys for a while before he began to check the two memory crystals.

The Messenger Contract is similar to what the Collector said, except for the basic contract part, there is also the part of witnessing in the name of the spirit world.

The effectiveness of a basic contract is actually relatively simple. Both parties can directly enter into a contract based on it, or they can add some additional terms on this basis, such as paying some remuneration when delivering letters or items.

In addition, Melen was very interested in the contents of the memory crystal regarding spiritual life and spiritual tribes.

The memory crystal that records dimensional knowledge is much simpler than Melen imagined.

The dimensional world is an illusory world outside the real world. It is born from the consciousness and thoughts of intelligent beings, but because of the intricate interweaving of consciousness and thoughts, the dimensional world has become extremely absurd and distorted.

The lives in it may be as weak as ants one moment, but can grow to be comparable to gods the next.

Being in it, you will naturally be bound by the strange rules of the dimensional world, but if you can recognize those rules, you will be able to do everything well.

For example, the memory crystal records such an incident...

A team of saint-level warriors went to explore a certain dimensional world, but to their horror, even the weakest life in that dimensional world could easily take their lives.

As one saint after another died, they became more and more desperate.

Finally, when only the last saint was left, he discovered the rules of this dimensional world, which is... two-dimensionality.

Although the entire dimensional world looks no different from an ordinary dimensional world, it is actually on a two-dimensional plane. Then, the saint only needs to fly in the air, and even the existence of gods in that dimensional world cannot find his trace.

Everything is that simple.

Mellen closed his eyes and thought about his next plan.

The next morning, he set out for the Fairytale Alliance's base in Vero City.

Linet had been waiting at the door early, and immediately came forward when he saw Mellen coming.

Then he led the way for Mellen while giving her more specific information.

During the period, Melen also mentioned that the collector needed to pay the balance, and Linet respectfully said that he would do it immediately.

After arriving at a secluded room, Melen waved his hand, indicating that Linette could leave, and then pushed the door open and walked in alone.

The furnishings in the room were simple. A man wrapped in a black robe sat there quietly, without saying a word.

Mellen frowned slightly. He keenly sensed a hint of decay from the man in black robe, as if the person under the black robe was an old man in his seventies or eighties.

The black-robed man noticed Mellen's arrival, turned his head slightly, and looked over. Then, somewhat disappointedly, he said, "I thought the Fairytale Alliance dared to pursue the trail of the 'Swallowing Swamp' because they had something to rely on. In the end, it turns out to be perfunctory time and time again. Sure enough, I shouldn't have had such high expectations of you."

The black-robed man's voice was extremely hoarse, and his tone was full of disappointment.

Melen didn't care. He sat opposite the man in black robes and said directly: "Valia? Why did you become like this?"

The black-robed man was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "It seems I revealed too much to that person earlier. The Fairy Tale Alliance is so large that it shouldn't be underestimated."

"However, now that you've discovered my identity, you should also understand that I have nothing to lose now."

Melen was silent. To be honest, Valya's family died in the turmoil that day, which was somewhat related to him.

If he had not tracked down the relevant clues and uncovered the mole hiding in the Special Affairs Bureau, there would not have been a series of subsequent events.

Of course, if that happens, by the time the invaders are ready, the unrest may be even more severe and more people will die.

In short, Mellen is not the kind of saint who would take all the responsibility on himself. He knows very well that the root of all this is the 'Devouring Swamp'.

Valya asked, "You seem to know me?"

Mellen nodded and said simply, "I once investigated your disappearance."

Valya didn't say anything more, but stood up and prepared to leave. She felt there was no need to stay here any longer.

Mellen said, "It seems you've misunderstood something. I founded the Fairytale Alliance. I'm the one who has a grudge against the Devouring Swamp, and I'm the one who sought information about it. Don't you want to meet someone important enough? So, I'm here."

Valya turned around, looked at Mellen again, and said suspiciously, "It's you?!"

Mellen did not explain any further, but directly released a wisp of power from a small red lotus. Suddenly, an extremely ferocious and evil aura enveloped the entire room. It seemed as if blood was seeping out of the void, which was terrifying and creepy.

Valya's hair stood on end and she froze in place. She only recovered slowly after Xiao Honglian's breath gradually dissipated.

Seeing Valya looking at him with a look of surprise, Melen said nonchalantly, "Now, can we have a good talk?"

Valya calmed her thoughts, sat back down, and asked, "Legend?"

Mellen nodded.

Valya breathed a sigh of relief.
