The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 470 - Han Wu’s Specialty

“Rank 6: Tower Ancient Barbaric Tree.”

“7-Star God weapon, Black King Blade.”

...

Jiang Ming’s smile widened as Han Wu listed the items he wanted while the two Gods grew suspicious. They could accept that Han Wu had 300 Divine Essence to purchase the two Rank Sacred Objects. Most Gods, no matter how poor, at least kept some savings. Yet Han Wu kept adding items, and the price rose significantly.

The two Gods assumed that Han Wu was messing with them. However, the trade wasn’t in their hands this time but in Jiang Ming’s, so they were curious to see how he would handle this.

After naming more than ten items, Han Wu finally stopped and passed the list back to Jiang Ming. “I will buy this much for now. You can find me again once you’ve refreshed your list.”

Jiang Ming nodded, took the list, and quoted the total. “Young Han Wu, you’ve chosen sixteen different items. After the 15% discount, your total comes to 2,409.6 Divine Essence.

“As you’re about to spend more than a 1,000 Divine Essence with us, you are eligible for VIP status. I have the authority to offer a further discount. Your final total comes to 2,400 Divine Essence.”

Han Wu felt good after spending so freely. “That’s not too expensive, but I don’t have enough Divine Essence to pay for the items right now.”

The two Gods watched him with mocking eyes and waited to see how the scene would unfold.

However, Jiang Ming didn’t react negatively to it. Instead, he responded kindly. “Young Han Wu, I can tell that you are quite extraordinary. You will grow far beyond your peers. How about this? If you can’t pay it right now, I can help you apply for an installment.”

The two Gods behind him almost blurted out of frustration, “Are you his father? How can you set up an installment plan for him? Only Major Gods and above qualify for that privilege.”

Han Wu chuckled at Jiang Ming’s earnestness. “I don’t plan to use an installment plan, but since your merchant group works in trade, you purchase local specialties, right?”

Yin Ming cut in at once, “Our Supreme Merchant Group doesn’t accept trash!”

Xi Jie lost his patience as well. “Look at this deplorable place. What kind of local specialty could you even find here?”

He then turned to Jiang Ming. “Supervisor Jiang, I don’t know what kind of connection you have with him, but keep this in mind. The merchant group will still audit your actions. I will officially report you if you sell those items for 2,400 Divine Essence to a swindler.”

Jiang Ming was flabbergasted as his two subordinates were undermining him like this. “Are you guys trying to go against me? How could you speak so rudely before our customer?”

Yin Ming doubled down. “We are not going against you. We just can’t tolerate the way you are selling our merchant group’s items for your own gain.”

Xi Jie joined him. “Do you think we are fools? From the moment you walked into this place, you’ve been cutting our profit margins on your own. It’s impossible to believe you have no connection to him. You may not care about the commission, but we do!”

Jiang Ming’s face was sullen and grim. He didn’t want to explain, and he saw no good way to do it. He was their supervisor, and he had no duty to justify his choices. “I have my reasons, and you two have no place interfering. Since you’re so set against this trade, I’ll take responsibility for it. You can step aside.

“Whether we earn or lose money, I’ll bear it alone, and neither of you will face any consequences. If you agree, we can sign a contract now. I don’t want your objections slowing this trade any further.”

Xi Jie taunted him. “Then we should thank you for letting us go.”

Yin Ming quickly drafted the contract, and both of them signed without hesitation.

Before he signed the contract, Jiang Ming wanted to give them one last chance. He didn’t want to treat them too harshly. “Think carefully about your actions. Once I sign, the two of you will have no influence in the trade and no share of the profit. Nothing bad will happen to you, but you won’t earn anything either. Have you considered this?”

Unfortunately, the two Gods were too shortsighted to grasp his intentions. They had already signed their names and urged him to do the same. Jiang Ming had already offered them every chance they needed, so he signed without any hesitation.

The contract bound them to their terms. Regardless of how the trade turned out, the two Gods would have no further part in it.

The two Gods sighed in relief as if they had shaken off a looming disaster. Meanwhile, Jiang Ming felt certain about his decision and chose to place his faith in Han Wu.

Han Wu saw the trust Jiang Ming placed in him and felt touched. How could a stranger wager 2,400 Divine Essence on him based on trust alone? Han Wu couldn’t let him lose.

“Since you’ve settled your private matters, let’s continue the trade.” Han Wu then took out an Abyssal Netherstone at 100% purity. “Jiang Ming, this comes from my territory. It’s an Abyssal Netherstone that’s 100% pure. Here, check it out and give me a price.”

Han Wu passed it to Jiang Ming. The latter accepted it with both hands and felt blood rush to his head when he saw how pure the stone was. He had worked as a merchant for hundreds of years, and had spent many of those years in this mine. He knew Abyssal Netherstone well and could judge their purity at a glance.

Jiang Ming hesitated as he examined the stone. He had never seen one so pure. The highest purity he had encountered was 98%, and this one exceeded that.

He couldn’t appraise it by sight alone and informed Han Wu. “I’m afraid that I will need to use the machine to verify it.”

Jiang Ming set up the machine and started appraising Han Wu’s Abyssal Netherstone. In the end, the machine confirmed a staggering reading: 100% purity!

The two Gods stared at the report, stunned. “Impossible! That can’t be right. How could there be an Abyssal Netherstone that’s 100% pure?”

The machine’s report couldn’t be falsified, and the stone’s composition couldn’t be mistaken.

Jiang Ming recovered first and asked, “Young Han Wu, how many Abyssal Netherstones do you have right now?”

Han Wu chuckled. “I just told you that this level of purity is my specialty. I should have enough to buy everything on three to five of your Giant-class ships.”

Jiang Ming froze. A single Giant-class ship from their merchant group carried goods worth 100,000 Divine Essence. If Han Wu spoke the truth, he could easily purchase 30,000 to 50,000 Divine Essence worth of items.

Even God Kings weren’t as rich as Han Wu, yet Jiang Ming didn’t doubt him.

The two Gods didn’t want to believe it and thought Han Wu was bluffing, but the pure stone sat on the table in plain view. If they could bring it back to the merchant group, they would gain enormous credit for securing such a high-stakes deal. Watching the trade unfold, they silently decided they needed a share in it no matter what.
