Chapter 3065 Bring Me Along!

After understanding Sun Youcai’s intentions, Lin Yuan smiled and took out three more jars of wine.

….

“Brother, it’s too dull to drink just one type of wine. Which one do you prefer among these three jars? I’ll give you ten jars later so you can drink to your heart’s content when you go back!”

As he spoke, Lin Yuan placed the three types of wine on the table. Each one exuded a unique elemental aura, distinct from the Fire Spirit Wine, and was top-notch. Sun Youcai, who always considered himself a connoisseur, realized he was far behind Lin Yuan. Not only did Lin Yuan present such excellent wines, but he also generously offered ten jars. This gesture made Sun Youcai recognize Lin Yuan’s extreme generosity.

Initially, Sun Youcai intended to befriend Lin Yuan, but now his desire to do so had grown even stronger.

“Brother Lin, ten jars are too much. Any one of these jars could be exchanged for a few pinnacle Class 3 Spirit Craftsmen. I’ll just taste them here. Even if you give me these wines, I wouldn’t bear to drink them myself.”

Sun Youcai’s words were sincere, not merely polite. He knew that even if he desired the wine, he would only gaze at it if it were brewed with Creator resources. It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford it, but he knew Creator resources were rare and shouldn’t be wasted.

Sun Youcai managed a large talent market, and many areas required resource allocation. As a faction aiming for healthy development, the larger it grew, the wider the gap in Creator resources tended to become.

Even with many Creators in the faction, wasting Creator resources was rare. Creators were proud and would be displeased by such waste. Sun Youcai and his faction couldn’t suppress the Creators, so avoiding waste was essential. If the ruling power could suppress the Creators, individuals like Lin Yuan, who were direct descendants, might get away with wasting resources.

Lin Yuan waved his hand. “Brother Sun, the discount you’ve given me extends beyond these few bottles of wine. Don’t hesitate to drink them. I’ll send you ten jars every year, Brother Sun. You’ll have plenty to drink.”

Lin Yuan took out a few jade pots and elegantly poured the wine. The mixed scents created a unique fragrance. The waiter at the door couldn’t help but sniff the aroma flowing from the VIP room.

Lin Yuan aimed to establish a firm foothold in Diverse City by controlling Traveling Dragon Palace. Maintaining a good relationship with Sun Youcai allowed him to acquire talents and ensure support if Traveling Dragon Palace faced problems.

Although befriending Sun Youcai had significant benefits, given the powerful backing behind Sky Beyond the Clouds, both parties first considered whether their identities matched before forming connections.

If Lin Yuan hadn’t displayed wealth that shocked Sun Youcai and an attitude of not valuing Creator resources, Sun Youcai wouldn’t have made an effort to befriend him. Lin Yuan was well aware of this fact.

Sun Youcai grabbed Lin Yuan’s hand seriously. “Brother, befriending you is the luckiest thing since I came to Diverse City. If you need anything in the future, just tell me. I’m well respected here!”

As Sun Youcai spoke, a handsome man in luxurious black and gold armor walked in. He had short hair and a tall figure. While his appearance was outstanding, his features were slightly inferior to Lin Yuan’s. Both had noble temperaments, but this man’s nobility had a strong sense of aggression, unlike Lin Yuan’s peaceful aura.

The man laughed and teased Sun Youcai, “Sun Youcai, you claim to be respected in Diverse City. Why haven’t I heard of this? I’m the one with the reputation here. With such fine wine, I have snacks that pair well with it. Would you let me have a few glasses?” 𝘧𝘳ℯ𝓮𝘸𝓮𝑏𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Zhao Chen had invited Sun Youcai only as a formality, not expecting him to come. Sun Youcai had never been interested in the auction of talents. This time, he came and brought someone with him.

Zhao Chen was intrigued by Sun Youcai’s companion and went to greet them, hoping to befriend them if they were qualified. Initially, Zhao Chen didn’t think much of Lin Yuan. However, upon catching the scent of wine at the door, he carefully discerned the fragrance.

Zhao Chen immediately became serious. Through the fragrance of the wine, Zhao Chen could smell the Grade 5 Creator’s resources. Sun Youcai probably did not possess such resources. Even if Sun Youcai had such resources, it would be impossible for him to bring them here. Therefore, the only source of this wine could only be from the guest brought by Sun Youcai.

Just as Sun Youcai had said, Zhao Chen was an extremely snobbish person. He was extremely indifferent towards those of lower status, showing no interest in befriending them whatsoever.

However, once Zhao Chen had the intention to befriend someone, he would immediately take action. For example, in order to befriend Lin Yuan and show him his value, Zhao Chen had deliberately taken out these high-end snacks to pair with the wine.

Zhao Chen’s heart ached when he took out these snacks made from Grade 4 Creator resources.

Zhao Chen had made his intentions clear to Lin Yuan that if Lin Yuan was not interested, Zhao Chen would not insist on befriending him.

Lin Yuan was a little surprised by Zhao Chen’s friendly personality. He could sense that Zhao Chen wanted to befriend him.

Lin Yuan said with a smile, “It’s a pity that there was only wine here but no snacks. Now that you’ve brought these snacks to complement our wine selection, it’s only fitting for you to have a few drinks here!”

Sun Youcai was well aware of Zhao Chen’s personality and his approach to things. He had expected that Zhao Chen would definitely do this after smelling the fragrance of the wine at the door. However, whether or not the two of them could successfully establish a friendship was not up to Zhao Chen, but Lin Yuan.

When Lin Yuan responded to Zhao Chen and allowed him to stay at the table, it indicated that both of them showed an interest in befriending each other.

Sun Youcai rolled his eyes at Zhao Chen, “Why, don’t you agree that I have some influence in Diverse City? Besides you, who don’t show me any respect in Diverse City, most others do offer me some level of respect. As long as you don’t make things difficult for me, there are very few things in Diverse City that I can’t do. Don’t let Brother Lin think that I’m bragging when you say that.”

Zhao Chen knew that Sun Youcai’s remark wasn’t intended to offend him. Outsiders assumed that their relationship was extremely poor. Yet in fact, Zhao Chen and Sun Youcai were good friends. Moreover, Sun Youcai had shares in his talent market. The two of them were not only friends, but also good business partners.

Sun Youcai’s words served as an introduction of Lin Yuan, at least providing Zhao Chen with his name.

Zhao Chen said to Lin Yuan in a friendly manner, “Brother Lin, if it is his own business, I might hinder it, but if what he’s doing involves you, I’ll lend a hand. I won’t stand in the way, instead, I will also put in some effort to help you.”

When Lin Yuan heard the way Zhao Chen addressed him, he raised his eyebrows. He felt that the current interaction with Zhao Chen bore some resemblance to the worldly affairs he had experienced in his past life.

Lin Yuan said to Zhao Chen, “Brother Zhao, I’m afraid I have to thank you in advance. I’ll have to trouble you in the future.”

The three of them engaged in conversation one after another, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. If an outsider were here, they would never have thought that this was Lin Yuan’s first time meeting Zhao Chen. They would even find it more unbelievable that Zhao Chen, the City Lord of Diverse City, was sitting here in his own establishment, chatting and laughing with a young man.

During the conversation, Zhao Chen learned that Lin Yuan had the intention of purchasing high-end talents, and he jovially remarked on it, “Brother Lin, if you want to purchase high-end talents, you’ve really come to the right place this time. Apart from the Creator auction, there will be auctions lasting two days where you can find what you’re looking for.

“These talents don’t actually belong to the East Universe. I obtained them from the battlefield in the South Universe through my species’ strength. These people basically have very serious injuries on their bodies. Many of the auction items’ roots have been severely injured. I didn’t heal them, but disguised their condition instead

” I can cheat others, but I definitely won’t cheat you, Brother Lin. In a moment, I’ll summon the person in charge of organizing this auction. If there are any issues with any of the items, I’ll have him tell you truthfully so that you can make your choice.”

Zhao Chen didn’t shy away from disclosing the source of these auction items to Lin Yuan, as it was his way of showcasing his capabilities to Lin Yuan. His bold approach to handling matters might appear ostentatious, but given his capabilities and talents, it facilitated his friendships with others who shared similar strengths.

Of course, Zhao Chen’s personality was not without drawbacks. Once Zhao Chen encountered someone whose background and strength surpassed his own, but harbored hostility towards him, it was very likely that he would cause big trouble given his personality.

Upon hearing Zhao Chen’s words, Lin Yuan’s interest was piqued. It did not matter to Lin Yuan whether these talents were injured or not. Even without using his own strength, Lin Yuan still had so many Grade 4 and Grade5 Creators under him. As long as Lin Yuan wanted to, he could basically recover from the injuries of these talents.

However, Zhao Chen only disclosed the injuries of these talents to him, and other factions participating in the auction were unaware of this information. If Lin Yuan wanted these talents, their prices would still be bid up high. However, Zhao Chen’s actions were enough to show his sincerity.

Lin Yuan did not intend to accept Zhao Chen’s good intentions. If he did, it would be equivalent to owing Zhao Chen a favor, “Brother Zhao, there’s no need to summon someone in charge. I’d rather not have the auction later interfere with the three of us enjoying our drinks. Whether or not I want to bid for these talents will depend on my judgment. If I like someone, I can help you push up the price a bit.”

Sun Youcai knew that Zhao Chen was very good at giving favors, and these favors often left no trace. When Sun Youcai first interacted with Zhao Chen, he inexplicably owed Zhao Chen a few favors, yet only realizing it later.

Sun Youcai initially thought that Lin Yuan would also end up being at a disadvantage in his interactions with Zhao Chen, but to his surprise, it was Zhao Chen who ended up at a disadvantage instead of Lin Yuan.

There were not many opportunities to see Zhao Chen suffer. Zhao Chen had originally wanted Lin Yuan to owe him a favor, but it had subtly become Zhao Chen owing Lin Yuan a favor.

Zhao Chen had lived for tens of thousands of years. Although his bloodline might indicate that he was only in his prime, his experience was something that accumulated over time. On the other hand, Lin Yuan had only lived for a few decades, but he was already so outstanding in such matters.

Sun Youcai became increasingly curious about the faction behind Lin Yuan. However, he knew very well that it was best not to speculate casually. It was impolite to speculate and pry into Lin Yuan’s privacy, and Sun Youcai did not want Lin Yuan to misunderstand him. As for Zhao Chen, he knew his limits even after getting to know Lin Yuan.

Sun Youcai was pleased to see the expression of defeat on Zhao Chen’s face. Since Lin Yuan didn’t need his help, Zhao Chen naturally wouldn’t insist on doing so.

Soon, the jars of wine that Lin Yuan took out were finished. Zhao Chen had initially thought about offering some of his own wine to entertain Lin Yuan, but he saw Lin Yuan bringing out several more bottles of wine. It was as if the wine itself was nothing to Lin Yuan.

Zhao Chen once again realized Lin Yuan’s foundation. It turned out that Lin Yuan had taken out so much wine not just to entertain him, but because Lin Yuan was likely to drink these things on a daily basis. Otherwise, since he had already successfully socialized with Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan bringing out these wines to entertain him would not further enhance their relationship.

Despite having known Lin Yuan for only a short time, Lin Yuan’s place in Zhao Chen’s heart was already higher than Sun Youcai’s.
