Chapter 3053 Wan Ying and Dragon Plum Family!
Since Chu Ci wanted to look for delicacies in the city tomorrow, Lin Yuan did not disappoint her by telling her that all the delicacies in the city could be ordered in Fortune Treasure Palace. It was not an exaggeration to say that Fortune Treasure Palace treated top-notch guests of honor as well as their biological parents!
.... There were actually many factions like Fortune Treasure Palace in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, and those who could become guests of honor of these factions were either top experts or came from powerful factions.
And factions like Fortune Treasure Palace could often provide services to these experts in terms of channels. Since there was no difference between everyone’s convenience here, the defining point came in the standard of service.
In Fortune Treasure Palace, as long as you wanted to enjoy something, it could be provided.
The status of Fortune Treasure Palace in Diverse City was far less imposing than in Treasure City, but they still occupied a considerable territory.
The person in charge of Fortune Treasure Palace in a mega-city like Diverse City was of a higher rank than Zhan Lu, second only to the three leaders of Fortune Treasure Palace.
Lin Yuan’s visit was low-key. However, upon showing his special honor guest card at Fortune Treasure Palace, the person in charge promptly approached him.
With great warmth and respect, she said, “I didn’t know Young Master Lin would honor us with your presence. Please forgive me! I am Wan Ying, the person in charge here at Fortune Treasure Palace.”
The manager of the branch in Diverse City was a woman with stunning dark purple hair that flowed down to her waist. Her fair and delicate face featured striking pink and purple eyes, adding a unique and exotic charm to her appearance.
Lin Yuan smiled at Wan Ying’s warm reception.
“Manager Wan, you’re too polite. My sister and I are here in Diverse City to attend the auction held by Traveling Dragon Palace. I wonder if you could secure three spots for us at the trade fair?”
Lin Yuan directly expressed his purpose for coming to Diverse City. As a newcomer, obtaining a spot in Traveling Dragon Palace’s auction would be challenging without assistance.
However, Fortune Treasure Palace was likely capable of helping. As a special honor guest, Lin Yuan could make any request of Fortune Treasure Palace, and the faction would strive to fulfill it.
Lin Yuan’s past transactions with Fortune Treasure Palace had brought them significant benefits. Few factions had as many high-class Creator resources to trade with them as he did.
Fortune Treasure Palace was well aware of this. This was why Ling Muzhuo, one of the three leaders, had personally formed a friendship with Lin Yuan.
Wan Ying appreciated Lin Yuan’s straightforward nature. Compared to other special honor guests who required her to guess their needs, Lin Yuan was undoubtedly easier to assist.
“Young Master Lin, many people have come to Diverse City for Traveling Dragon Palace’s trade fair. The trade fair only has 1,000 slots. Fortune Treasure Palace only has 15 spots. Each spot represents one person. If it were any other special honor guest asking me for a spot, I would definitely hesitate. However, you’re the one asking me for this spot. There definitely won’t be any problems. You have three people here. I can reserve three spots for you.”
Wan Ying did not say that to curry favor with Lin Yuan but because she knew how important Lin Yuan was to Fortune Treasure Palace.
Every special honor guest card issued by Fortune Treasure Palace was labeled with the corresponding identity information.
If it was an ordinary special honor guest, Wan Ying would not personally appear to receive them. She would only arrange for a reception officer.
Wan Ying had 30 receptionists under her. With the traffic in Diverse City, special honor guests would basically come every day. However, Wan Ying only personally received no more than two people every month.
Fortune Treasure Palace had three leaders, so it was impossible for a faction with multiple leaders not to have internal competition. It was the same for Fortune Treasure Palace.
Wan Ying was on Ling Muzhuo’s side, so she treated Lin Yuan warmly. When Wan Ying received the news of Lin Yuan’s arrival, she quickly informed Ling Muzhuo. She had a feeling that if Lin Yuan stayed in Diverse City long enough, Ling Muzhuo might come personally to meet him.
As she spoke to Lin Yuan, Wan Ying’s gaze landed on Chu Ci. Lin Yuan had just introduced Chu Ci as his younger sister. In the Sky Beyond the Clouds, where all species valued bloodlines, only those with the same father and mother would address each other as siblings.
If they were cousins of the same species, they would address each other as cousins. Out of respect for their bloodline, there was no such thing as a god-sister.
Chu Ci did not have the ability to conceal her aura, nor did she deliberately try to.
Chu Ci was about the same age as Lin Yuan. She had only lived for a few decades but had already reached World Emperor/Pinnacle Divine Kingdom. This surprised Wan Ying.
Chu Ci, who was standing beside Lin Yuan, had an extremely close relationship with him. This was enough to prove that Chu Ci was highly favored in Lin Yuan’s faction.
This realization made Wan Ying understand that she needed to show the same respect to Chu Ci as she did to Lin Yuan.
Wan Ying did not pay much attention to Winter, who was standing behind Lin Yuan. No matter how strong Winter was, he was only Lin Yuan’s guard, responsible for protecting him. There was no need for her to make friends with such a person.
She might be misunderstood by Lin Yuan if she took the initiative to befriend his subordinates.
As the manager of such a huge city, Wan Ying was much smarter than Zhan Lu.
Lin Yuan smiled and said, “Manager Wan, thank you very much. The Diverse City branch will definitely accumulate more resources than Treasure City. I hope to trouble you later to let me use my Grade 4 and above Creator resources to exchange for a batch of supplies.”
Wan Ying had treated them very well and clearly shown him respect, so Lin Yuan was naturally willing to repay her.
Moreover, Lin Yuan had come to Diverse City with the intention of obtaining some gains from Fortune Treasure Palace.
He could fulfill Wan Ying’s wish! When Wan Ying heard Lin Yuan’s words, her face lit up. She had heard from Ling Muzhuo about Lin Yuan’s magnificent feat in the Treasure City branch.
Subsequently, Zhan Lu made use of that event to brag. Even the people in charge who were of a higher grade than Zhan Lu were extremely envious of this.
Zhan Lu had relied on Lin Yuan’s extensive acquisition of resources to surpass his old rival in Fortune Treasure Palace’s evaluation, with his ranking rising by more than 160 places.
The officials at Fortune Treasure Palace were well aware of Zhan Lu’s capabilities. The primary reason for his sudden rise was Lin Yuan, a special honor guest.
Now, she was essentially receiving the same dividends as Zhan Lu. The Diverse City branch had always ranked below the other major cities’ Fortune Treasure Palaces, and in recent decades, its ranking had been steadily declining. A few years ago, it had plummeted to third from the bottom.
Traveling Dragon Palace had been developing rapidly in Diverse City, leading to frequent conflicts among the city’s major factions.
The commotion in Diverse City affected the flow of people. While the powerful special honor guests with influential backgrounds in Fortune Treasure Palace were unaffected, the number of ordinary customers was halved.
The true profits of Fortune Treasure Palace came primarily from these ordinary customers.
Wan Ying could do nothing about the disputes and conflicts in Diverse City. She was already prepared for her ranking to drop again.
However, Lin Yuan’s words presented an opportunity for Wan Ying. Wan Ying personally arranged accommodations for Lin Yuan and Chu Ci, assigning a total of four receptionists to receive Lin Yuan, Chu Ci, and their companions.
The four receptionists were very surprised by her arrangements. Four receptionists for three guests, and these three guests were in cahoots? This had never happened before!
It wasn’t that there hadn’t been extremely distinguished special honor guests staying at Fortune Treasure Palace before, but those guests could not bring as many benefits as Lin Yuan could. There were even so many benefits that they could help Wan Ying turn things around.
Chu Ci had never seen such a scene before. The residences arranged by Fortune Treasure Palace for special honor guests were all built like paradise, and the facilities inside were extremely luxurious.
Chu Ci touched the sofa made of some unknown animal skin and said, “Big Brother, I didn’t expect you to be doing so well in the Sky Beyond the Clouds!”
As she spoke, Chu Ci gave Lin Yuan a thumbs up. Lin Yuan raised his brows. In fact, even before encountering the Epoch God Palace, he had already confirmed the existence of higher-class worlds above the main world.
Lin Yuan had always both yearned for and feared these higher-class worlds. He wasn’t worried about his own safety but was concerned that those around him might suffer calamities.
At that time, Lin Yuan believed it would be difficult for him to explore a higher-class world with only his current resources in the main world.
However, after meeting Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, who became his followers, everything changed drastically. With their strength, almost all problems could be resolved.
This allowed Lin Yuan to develop Sky City rapidly and even create a faith country!
Without the four of them, even if Lin Yuan had the ability to create a faith country, he wouldn’t have been able to develop it so quickly.
Previously, Lin Yuan had sent Jin Chen to Fortune Treasure Palace in Treasure City to trade, which had attracted a small hunting team. Without Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, this hunting team would have been enough to overthrow Sky City.
The Sky Beyond the Clouds was filled with danger, but the presence of the four followers gave Lin Yuan the confidence to face these challenges.
Upon hearing Chu Ci’s words, Lin Yuan smiled and told her seriously, “Chu Ci, it’s all thanks to Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter that I was able to develop in the Sky Beyond the Clouds so quickly. Otherwise, even with the resources accumulated in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, we wouldn’t have reached this stage even in a thousand years!”
Winter hurriedly said, “Young Master, the four of us are your followers. It’s our honor to share your burdens! We must thank you for giving us the chance to follow you! Your Spirit Lock spatial zone will soon transform. How could you develop slowly with the Creator resources you have in your hands?”
Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter were aware of Morbius’ situation and knew that Lin Yuan would soon be able to control Grade 6 Creator resources. Even Class 5 Creators would have to submit to such power.
Lin Yuan shook his head and said, “Winter, you’re saying this because you’ve been looking at the problem from the perspective of an expert. Even if I really have Grade 6 Creator resources, without you, how would I dare to use these resources? Without a strong martial force as support, as long as the Grade 6 Creator resources are slightly revealed, they will attract the covetous eyes of powerful factions. We don’t even have to talk about the Lifespan Mouse.
“If you hadn’t been by my side and intimidated others, it would have been impossible for me to subdue those Grade 5 Creators through the Lifespan Mouse.
“Even if we really hid and developed slowly, we would have no choice but to face the powerful enemies we might encounter in the outside world!”
Lin Yuan was really grateful to Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Otherwise, he would not have said such words.
One had to know that Lin Yuan was not a sentimental person. Indeed, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter had given Lin Yuan the confidence to develop recklessly.
... Ever since Sun Yin had parted ways with Lin Yuan, he had contacted him regarding his previous relationships in Diverse City.
The last time Sun Yin visited Diverse City, he had been a Grade 4 Creator. The factions that had come into contact with Sun Yin had tried their best to recruit him and invited him to join Diverse City. However, Sun Yin ultimately declined their offers.
Sun Yin knew very well that with his talent, he could indeed secure the support of a faction. However, this support would come with restrictions. Even if he was not directly constrained, he would still be entangled in the karma associated with that faction.
Sun Yin cherished his freedom. Otherwise, he would not have endured so much when he first met Lin Yuan.
The Dragon Plum Family was thrilled to receive Sun Yin’s correspondence. Centuries passed in the blink of an eye for World Emperor/Divine Kingdom lifeforms.
However, many events had transpired in Diverse City over the past hundred years.
Although the Dragon Plum Family was not directly involved, they were significantly affected.
Everyone living in Diverse City felt as if a lifetime had passed. Six years ago, the Grade 4 Creator in the Dragon Plum Family had died of old age. Without this Grade 4 Creator and another who eventually left, the family clearly felt they were on an irreversible decline.
There were quite a number of pinnacle Grade 3 Creators in the Dragon Plum Family, eight to be exact.
However, none of these eight pinnacle Grade 3 Creators showed potential to become Grade 4 Creators within the next hundred years.
Only powerful factions in Diverse City were qualified to enjoy high-quality resources. Given the current situation of the Dragon Plum Family, it would likely be difficult for them to protect their territory.
At this moment, Sun Yin took the initiative to interact with the Dragon Plum Family. One could imagine how excited they were.
However, the Dragon Plum Family did not know that Sun Yin was no longer a Grade 4 Creator but had become a genuine Grade 5 Creator!
