Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 738 - 99: Harvest of 1 Billion Wealth_2

The key is not just to sell these flowers alive; they must also survive for a period in the hands of the Explorer, so that they can activate good fortune when needed.

In that sense, their thirty percent profit isn't particularly high.

Lin Rui sighed and said, "Alright, for the sake of our friendship, I'll take a bit of a loss and let you earn a bit more. But later on, when I purchase supplies from you, you have to give me a discount."

"Of course, no problem!" Nakada grinned, surprising Lin Rui. He wondered what was so strange about it that he could see excitement on a snake's face. Was its smile just too wide?

Nakada didn't think much of it and quickly helped Lin Rui calculate the value. "Ordinary Golden Pansy, 1.1 billion units, valued at 2.3 billion Spirit Crystal Coins. Enhanced-level, Fine-level, and Rare Level are all 500,000 units, valued at 5.6 billion Spirit Crystal Coins. So this Golden Pansy transaction is a total of 7.9 billion Spirit Crystal Coins."

"Qingyu Divine Light Ordinary Level is 3.5 million units, valued at 1.225 billion Spirit Crystal Coins. Enhanced-level is 750,000 units, a total value of 5.25 billion Spirit Crystal Coins, Fine-level 750,000 units, valued at 52.5 billion Spirit Crystal Coins."

"So these two transactions total 64.2 billion Spirit Crystal Coins, with a transaction tax of 3.17%. We have already paid 2.03514 billion for you. How would you like the rest to be paid?"

Lin Rui's eyes widened as he looked at Rose, asking, "There's also a transaction tax? Over 2.03 billion!?"

Rose rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Why are you so surprised? Doesn't your domain have transaction taxes?"

"If you put it that way." Lin Rui hesitated for a moment: "It's not that we don't. The key is, it's always been others paying taxes to me. I've never had to pay someone else's taxes before. And to suddenly pay more than 2 billion Spirit Crystal Coins is really a bit of an adjustment."

Rose rolled her eyes at him again: "You say about yourself, when you're generous, you would venture to the stars, face the gods with a sword, even dare to bring down a Demigod."

"Yet when you're stingy, you haggle over a little money."

Lin Rui took a deep breath: "A little money!? This is 2 billion Spirit Crystal Coins!"

Lin Rui finally understood why the Holy Knight could take billions in Spirit Crystal Coins just to buy lottery tickets for fun.

These deeply-rooted, vast territories collect taxes amounting to billions every day, and they just don't care!

And if they had one or two inter-plane trade routes, they'd be even more extraordinary! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Even a small force like the Golden Pansy Domain can pay 2 billion in transaction taxes. Clearly, inter-plane trade is highly profitable!

Seeing Rose's dismissive expression, completely indifferent.

Lin Rui suddenly thought to put an arm around Rose's shoulder, grinning, and asked: "My good buddy, do you Elves not have any tax reduction policies or incentives?"

"Didn't I also earn merits for the Empress, spill blood? Isn't it worth an aristocratic privilege from the Empress?"

Rose disdainfully brushed his hand off her shoulder, saying: "Don't take advantage. The merits you've earned, the Empress has already rewarded you."

Nakada watched the two hook arms in disbelief, not daring to even breathe in the corner.

What did I just see?

A man dares to put his arm around the Elf's Sunflower, Forbidden Army Commander of the Kinki Region?

When did Lord Rose become so approachable?

Isn't she always cold as ice, keeping people at a distance of a thousand miles?

How many merchants and nobles of the World Tree want to curry favor with Lord Rose, to invite her once is a task that cannot be achieved.

And this guy directly takes advantage of Lord Rose?

Is he overly bold, or does Lord Rose have a special affection for him?

Lin Rui tutted and sighed: "I'm not on the battlefield yet. Can the Empress chill her soldiers' hearts like this? If I'm disheartened, fighting the Undead will lack motivation. The thousands of kilometers of front line under my charge would be hard to defend."

Rose glared at him: "Stop threatening me. I'll tell you, I have the right to participate in the Imperial Court's military command meetings. I will be directly responsible for overseeing the war zone you're in. If you dare to retreat even half a step, see if I don't waste you. You'll never enjoy your favorite pleasure again!"

Lin Rui took an instant breath of cold air: "You're so vicious. I have only so few pleasures in life, and you want to erase them."

But Lin Rui then laughed and said: "Then you'll be my boss. It's not too much to ask my superior for some logistical supplies, is it?"

"Even the Emperor doesn't starve his soldiers. You have to ensure I have enough ammunition and supplies, right? Medicine, equipment, you have to provide in a wave, right? You can't let me hold the line, suffering heavy casualties."

Rose snorted coldly: "Stop daydreaming. You're not even in our Imperial Court's combat sequence. Have you ever seen a country government provide mercenaries with weapons, firearms, and sights? If you don't even have those things, do you deserve this mercenary salary?"

Well, that does make some sense.

"But surely some salary and subsidies?"

Rose thought for a moment and said: "Alright, I'll at most put a word in with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to see if you can get a tax exemption during this period. After all, you're fighting on the front line for us, and buying supplies now and taxing indeed is a bit inappropriate."

That's more like it!

Lin Rui grinned, immediately pulling out the Spatial Treasure, Wealth Concealment, and said to Nakada: "All the Spirit Crystal Coins are stored in here, 64.2 billion, not a single coin less."

Nakada saw this Imperial Court exclusive Spatial Artifact and felt somewhat numb. This guy really has a close relationship with Lord Rose.

He could even take something like this out of his pack!

He looked at Rose helplessly, then asked Lin Rui: "But hasn't the tax exemption policy not been approved yet?"

Lin Rui straightened his back says confidently: "What's it to you? If it's not approved, I'll pay the tax. If it is approved, where will you find me! I can't run anyway, the tax owed won't be reduced by a single coin."

Nakada at this moment only felt heartache beyond words, 64.2 billion Spirit Crystal Coins!

When stocking up, swallowing units of resources worth over a billion was gratifying.

But when it came to paying, his heart bled.

This greedy fellow refuses to give out so much wealth?

Even if these plane-specific specialties will eventually earn the Golden Treasure Hall more revenue.

With a single transaction, more than twenty billion in income, he still couldn't calmly accept the current cost.

Seeing his pained expression, Lin Rui promptly grew alert, asking: "You wouldn't happen to not have the money, right?"

64 billion isn't a small figure; even a bank might need a day to gather it.

But greedy Nakada immediately said: "What a joke. A mere 64.2 billion Spirit Crystal Coins, how could our guild not have it? We are the largest guild in the forest, with more than 300 billion in liquid assets on the books."

Lin Rui was genuinely envious!

More than 300 billion Spirit Crystal Coins in liquid assets!

If only he could raid them, wouldn't the Golden Pansy Domain get rich overnight?

What enhancement, Krypton Gold, sacrifice, everything at the highest level!

All strategic treasures, all sacred treasures, fortified to the top level!

Fill the warriors' training with all the waste enhancement!

The massive ultimate Krypton Gold warriors would push the enemy flat.
