Summoning Players into My Game-Chapter 554 - 315: Against the World?

However, what he needed most right now were the production line for the flying transport vehicle and the manufacturing equipment for Energy Blood Essence. With these two items, the development speed of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall would certainly increase by a significant margin.

"These two, huh?" Hong Lao slightly frowned, looking at Lin Qi as he slowly said, "The production line for the C-level alloy flying transport vehicle is not a problem, as we can sell it from Cangyi City. However, the synthesis equipment for Energy Blood Essence has always been controlled by the Domain City. All the synthesis equipment within the Four Domains comes from the Domain City. If we sell it to Hall Master Lin, we’d have one less in Cangyi City."

"All from the Domain City?" Lin Qi expressed slight surprise. "Can’t you just purchase directly from other domains at a high price?"

"You can indeed buy it from other domains for two million Energy Crystal Stones," Hong Lao nodded, not holding back, "but I’m afraid it won’t be possible for the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall."

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Qi asked, puzzled by Hong Lao’s words, "Do you mean others can buy it, but the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall cannot?"

"Not exactly. Anyone with two million Energy Crystal Stones can purchase it from the Celestial River Domain City," Hong Lao explained, "But bringing it back is difficult. To reach the Celestial River Region or Mist Mountain Region, you must pass through the Wraith Mountain Range. Now, the Smiling Skull may not let you pass, let alone return."

"Furthermore, since Hall Master Lin severely crippled the Dragon Hunting Corps of the Red Moon Commerce, the Red Moon Commerce might also not let you off so easily. After all, the Dragon Hunting Corps is one of the Red Moon Commerce’s main teams for exploring the Restricted Area, and the Red Moon Commerce has deep ties with the Celestial River Domain City. Many items from the Celestial River Domain City are even sold to the Four Domains through Red Moon Commerce’s trade routes."

"If Red Moon Commerce informs the Celestial River Domain City, I’m afraid the Domain City will have to painfully forego this business. Although Cangyi City could sell Hall Master the synthesis equipment for Energy Blood Essence and later order a new one from the Celestial River Domain City, if Red Moon Commerce finds out, they might restrict Cangyi City’s purchase. It’s a risk we cannot take."

"So, Red Moon Commerce has such a relationship with the Celestial River Domain City." Lin Qi was a bit taken aback and couldn’t help asking, "Can’t we purchase it from other domain cities?"

Since only the Domain City controls the manufacturing of Energy Blood Essence synthesis equipment, the other three Domain Cities should also be able to produce them. It should not be exclusively held by the Celestial River Domain City.

"The production of Energy Blood Essence synthesis equipment is not easy and requires many key materials, which the other three domains don’t have much of. They primarily purchase key materials from the Celestial River Domain City," Hong Lao explained. "The Celestial River Domain City doesn’t want the other three Domain Cities to profit from this business, so an agreement was made long ago: unless it’s a subsidiary city making the purchase, it cannot be sold to other people or forces. The other three Domain Cities had no choice but to agree due to the key materials. So within the Four Domains, the only place to purchase Energy Blood Essence synthesis equipment is from the Celestial River Domain City."

"No wonder each domain has to give face to Red Moon Commerce; this explains it." Lin Qi suddenly realized upon hearing this.

"That’s right." Hong Lao nodded in agreement, feeling quite helpless. "The Celestial River Domain City holds a grip on the Energy Blood Essence synthesis equipment, and Red Moon Commerce is required by the Celestial River Domain City. Provoking Red Moon Commerce is almost equivalent to provoking the Celestial River Domain City."

"If Hall Master Lin wishes to manufacture Energy Blood Essence, the only option at present is to establish a subsidiary city within the jurisdiction of the Mist Mountain Domain City. Manufacturing Energy Blood Essence in remote areas should not be considered for a short time."

He didn’t know how the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall came to face off against Red Moon Commerce, but the Dragon Hunting Corps was the heart of Red Moon Commerce, and having suffered over half of its losses, Red Moon Commerce is not a charitable organization and certainly not an amicable force. Otherwise, it would not dominate the trading routes of the Four Domains.

Before Red Moon Commerce’s anger subsides, purchasing Energy Blood Essence synthesis equipment from the Celestial River Domain City is simply impossible; other forces are powerless unless they too don’t want the synthesis equipment.

"What if our Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall could replace Red Moon Commerce?" Lin Qi asked.

"Replace Red Moon Commerce?" Hong Lao was somewhat stunned but then shook his head, saying, "That’s unlikely. Not to mention Red Moon Commerce controls the trading routes of the Four Domains and can safely transport goods from each domain. Even if Hall Master can achieve this, why would the Celestial River Domain City replace Red Moon Commerce?"

"What if I have something that the Celestial River Domain City would be interested in?" Lin Qi smiled slightly, taking out a blood-red fruit, which was the Life Fruit.

"What is this? Such a rich life energy!" Hong Lao gazed at the Life Fruit in Lin Qi’s hand, swallowing hard, quickly suppressing the near-instinctual desire to swallow the Life Fruit.

"This is called the Life Fruit. It is extremely precious and can regrow severed limbs and heal any injury," Lin Qi said with a smile. "I think this should be something the Celestial River Domain City needs greatly."

Healing potions can cure injuries, but they cannot regrow severed limbs, and the disability rate among Martial Artists has always been high, including some powerful individuals.

There are many powerful figures in the Domain City, and those with disabilities are likely not few.

"Regrow severed limbs?" Hong Lao was astounded, fixated on the Life Fruit, asking in disbelief, "Can it really regrow severed limbs?"
