Chapter 247: The Path to Wealth and the True Fountain of Youth
"The Child of the 'Primordial Hunger' has devoured your being......
"Is it the 'Endless Greed, Star Eater, Lord of Soul Eaters'?"
Abner asked, thoughtful.
He had heard the name in several civilizations as "Alvin Abraham" as he roamed the stars, but all of them were notorious and more disgusting to intelligent beings than demons.
For wherever He goes, everything is devoured, and nothing is spared.
And the path where the "Goddess of Wealth" is located is itself the path of "Primal Hunger", and it is only normal to invite His terrible son.
Sighing slightly, Abner said apologetically to the doppelganger of the "Goddess of Wealth": "I'm sorry, Helena...... If it weren't for the fact that I had collected a large number of 'Collector' pathways from different planets and concentrated them on the 'Golden Star', I might not have been able to attract the greedy Star Eater so quickly. ”
Alien planets do not have a large number of extraordinary properties and even essentia convergence like Earth, and when Alvin first arrived at the so-called "Golden Star", there were only sporadic extraordinary materials except for half of Sequence 2, which was not systematic at all.
And the "humans" there are still enslaved by the monsters of the second level of the half-sequence, and they are being squeezed of all their value, and their lives are very bleak.
As for Helena, the "Goddess of Wealth", she was only the leader of a small group of "rebels" at that time, a lucky one who was lucky enough to devour the Sequence 6 traits without getting out of control.
Later, for some reason, Alvin and Helena established a friendship, took her to various planets, and gradually found the follow-up potions, helping her to be promoted to angel and become the "Goddess of Wealth", and then returned to the "Golden Star" and defeated the monster that enslaved "humans", and the characteristics of the other party were also made into the current "palace" by Abner.
And the reason why "humans" is put in quotation marks is also because the people on that planet are not exactly the same as the earthlings, but more like the halflings described in Western Fantasy, and they are all very short.
Of course, Helena has been able to adjust her body after being promoted to angel, so she looks similar to a normal earthling.
As Abner fell into her memory, Helena shook her head and said, "'Graz' is actually the 'herd' that the Star Eater put on our planet...... We are all His prepared 'food'...... He will come to the harvest sooner or later.
"At least the barrier you left behind has allowed us to support us for more than a hundred years."
"Glaz" is the name of the monster that enslaves "humans".
Recalling the planetary civilization that completed the scientific and technological revolution and accumulated huge wealth in just over a hundred years, Abner sighed again and put it down for the time being...... After all, it is useless to think too much, it is already destroyed......
After settling down, Abner returned his attention to his "palace" and asked Helena, "What are the current 'collections' of the palace?" Well, just report on the angelic ones. ”
"There are 3 full collections of ability and 3 vacancies.
"There are 3 full biological collections, 2 vacancies, and the collection 'Goddess of Wealth' currently has 1 minute and 26 seconds left.
"There are 3 items in the collection, 1 is vacant, there are currently 3 minutes and 15 seconds left in the collection 'Box of the Old Days 1st floor', and there are currently 5 minutes left in the collection 'Holy Avenger'.
"There are 3 other collections full, 2 are vacant, and there is currently 1 copy left in the collection 'The Wrath of the Ancient God Sunia Solem'."
Helena, the doppelganger of the "Goddess of Wealth", reported meticulously...... She is now essentially just the "smart butler" of this palace.
"Collection space" is one of the "core" abilities of the "Goddess of Wealth", an alien planetary pathway, which can forcibly "buy" the right to use or even the ownership of everything you encounter, such as people, things, and abilities, through "valuation".
For example, Zarathu's "miracle" was purchased as "ownership", so it became the key to Abner's resurrection of Alvin.
The "Goddess of Wealth" only sold the "right to use", or "use time" - Alvin only bought her for five minutes, and almost went bankrupt, because the other party fully cooperated and agreed to his deal...... If you buy "hard" at a markup, God knows how much you will have to pay.
In general, Abner feels that this ability is not as practical as "historical projection", and although the ability of "forcible valuation and purchase" is outstanding, when fighting against others, the ability to directly buy the opponent can definitely achieve a surprise effect.
But in this regard, the "thief" is also more effective than it.
As for the definition of "price", it is actually derived from the concept that "everything is divinistic...... It is precisely because "all things are divinistic" that all things have value...... At the top of this path, the "primordial hunger," the food He wants, is these divinities.
The reason why the "Labyrinth of Answers" recognizes the value of "gold pounds" and "real estate" is that they can be exchanged for extraordinary properties or other items that correspond to the "divinity".
Another core competency of the "Goddess of Wealth" pathway, "Wealth Leverage", ...... In other words, the "Divine Lever" is based on this, which can forcibly increase the "value" of an extraordinary person, allowing him to temporarily ascend to a higher rank; It can also suppress the "value" of an extraordinary person and weaken his ability.
It's a pity that this "palace" only has half of the angelic characteristics, and it doesn't have this ability in the latter.
However, the collection "Goddess of Wealth" can do it...... It's that after she lost the "Golden Star", she is now mostly a "poor ghost", and her strength may have dropped very much.
And in the words of my "wealth"...... Well...... It seems that my current industry is still not big enough, and I have to run Berdan as soon as possible, and then make the "film and television company" bigger and stronger.
Plus, I actually have a quick buck to make...... And it can be used to accumulate "wishes".
……
Bridge South District, Yuejihua Street.
Early on Tuesday morning, Emlyn was pushing open the door of the Harvest Church and wondering where to find another £2,000 to pay for the final payment of the "world" when he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder from behind.
Emlyn was startled and hurriedly looked back, only to see the "heroic detective" Abner looking at him with a smile.
"What's the matter with you?" Emlyn glanced at the tall figure of the half-giant priest behind the pulpit, and felt a little confident.
I don't know why, he always felt that it was not good for this detective to come to him.
"Lack of money?" Abner asked, pulling him into a corner.
Why are you detectives all in this tune? Emlyn immediately thought of a certain bearded detective, and his heart moved, and he raised his head and said, "If there is anything, just say it." ”
"I have something to sell to the one of your Blood...... Marquis of Nibais, let you be an intermediary. Abner laughed.
"What is it?" Emlyn was more wary of his own race, even though Lord Nibes was not good to him.
"It's a good thing...... I remember that he was so old that he had to sleep to keep himself from decaying, right? Abner said this, smiling confidently, "And I happen to have the 'Fountain of Youth' spring water in my hand, it is not a fake made up by the 'Immortal King', it is the real 'Fountain of Youth' spring water!" ”
And it was the "Ageless Spring" that was newly squeezed from the "Ageless Witch" by various means last night.
