 Chapter 85 Black Sail Chamber of Commerce

  [Transfer completed, the hunter returns to the exclusive room,]

  [The exclusive room is an absolutely safe spot, no one can enter except the hunter's permission]

  [The hunter has returned to the reincarnation paradise and started calculating the derivative world rewards. ]

  Derivative World: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.

  Difficulty: LV.3 (Difficult)

  Obtaining the Source of the World: 84.4%.

  Number of completed tasks: 4. (Main task × 3, side task × 1)

  Comprehensive evaluation: S. (Note: The rating ranges from E- to S+. The comprehensive evaluation is calculated based on the total amount of World Source obtained and the number of tasks completed.)

  Start collecting World Source...,

  World Source collection is completed, and rewards are counted.

  Rewards: 23 attribute points (already included in the attribute points obtained in the derivative world), 23,000 Paradise Coins.

  The overall evaluation is S, the hunter level +3, upgraded to Lv.5. (Level increases according to the overall evaluation.)

  The hunter level has reached Lv.5, and the storage space has increased to five cubic meters.

  The settlement is complete and the reward has been automatically deposited into the Hunter's Brand.

  Lin Yi's gaze lingered tiredly for a moment on the reminder of Samsara Paradise. The words danced in front of his eyes, but he no longer had enough energy to read them carefully.

  His steps seemed a little unsteady as he moved towards the soft bed step by step.

  His body was covered in blood, and the originally pure white priest robe was now stained beyond recognition by blood and dust.

  Lin Yi threw it aside without any reluctance, as if he had thrown away a heavy burden.

  Finally, he fell on the soft bed. At that moment, all his fatigue and tension seemed to be pressed into the soft mattress along with the weight of his body.

  Lin Yi closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep almost immediately.

  For him, his experience in the Demon Slayer world was like an endless battle.

  After a whole day of sleeping, Lin Yi finally woke up from a deep sleep.

  His eyes opened slightly, and for a moment he was not used to the bright light outside.

  His head felt like it was stuffed with a ball of cotton, making him feel groggy and a little uncomfortable.

  However, as his consciousness gradually returned, Lin Yi felt a long-lost vitality flowing through his limbs again.

  Although his mind was still a little unclear, he clearly felt that his energy had been greatly restored.

  Coming to the bed, Lin Yi took out the blue treasure chest dropped by Xu Fu.

  [You opened the blue treasure chest]

  [Obtain the bloodline of a high-level ghost]

  [High-level ghost bloodline]

  Origin: Demon Slayer

  Quality: Blue

  Type: Bloodline item (rare item)

  Effect: There is a 95% chance of becoming a high-level ghost after use, and a 5% chance of failure. After failure, the bloodline of the low-level ghost disappears.

  Rating: 70.

  The attribute points and skills brought by high-level bloodlines are undoubtedly much more powerful than those of low-level bloodlines.

  Such temptation is irresistible to any adventurer who craves power.

  He could even foresee that once he was willing to trade this high-level bloodline, countless adventure groups would contact him in exchange for this precious bloodline.

  As for the scarlet card, Lin Yi's eyes fell on the facial cleansers and shampoos on the table.

  He couldn't help but feel a little amused. The backpacks of these contractors were actually full of these things. He had no idea what they were thinking.

  After entering the Samsara Paradise, Lin Yi was immediately surrounded by the noisy atmosphere.

  On both sides of the street, stalls of all kinds are densely arranged, and the stall owners' cries of hawking goods rise and fall one after another, forming a unique symphony of paradise.

  He looked around and saw that most of the stall owners were still sticking to their old locations, using their enthusiasm to maintain the prosperity of the Samsara Paradise.

  Lin Yi also noticed that several stalls had new owners.

  Those familiar figures are gone, replaced by unfamiliar faces.

  He couldn't help but feel a little disturbed. Did those former stall owners die in the cruel derivative world, or did they move to other places to continue their lives?

  Lin Yi took a deep breath and suppressed the emotion in his heart.

  No matter what, life goes on, he still has his own path to go and his own story to write.

  Lin Yi stepped into a restaurant, the aroma of food hit him in the face, arousing his appetite.

  He walked to the counter and ordered dishes skillfully: "Boss, five grilled steaks, two crispy porks, a pickled radish, and a pot of rice." As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach started to growl, as if urging the arrival of the delicious food.

  The boss looked up at Lin Yi, without any surprise on his face.

  In this special place called Samsara Paradise, big eaters have long been a common sight.

  As the attributes of the contractors continue to improve, their digestive abilities also increase, and it is very easy to deal with a gluttonous feast.

  After a while, the dishes ordered by Lin Yi were served one after another.  

  The grilled steak exudes an intoxicating aroma, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and juicy when you take a bite; the crispy meat is golden and attractive, crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside; and the rice is distinct grains, soft and delicious, perfectly setting off the deliciousness of various main dishes.

  Lin Yi couldn't wait to start his feast. Every bite made him feel extremely satisfied and happy.

  In this reincarnation paradise full of competition and danger, being able to enjoy such a delicious meal is undoubtedly a rare way for Lin Yi to relax and heal.

  Speaking of competition in Samsara Paradise, each store is racking its brains to attract customers.

  Previously, a store owner had the unique idea of ​​organizing a big eating competition, intending to attract people and increase the store's popularity through this novel and interesting activity.

  However, the result of the competition was far beyond the boss's expectations - because the prizes were too generous, it attracted many powerful big eater contestants, causing the store's inventory to be cleared out.

  It is said that until now, the owner of that store is still working hard to pay off the debt from that game.

  This has also become an interesting story in the Samsara Paradise.

  "Boss, do you know where the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce's territory is?" Lin Yi casually asked the shop owner while tasting the food.

  However, when the boss heard the words "Black Sail Chamber of Commerce", his expression suddenly changed, and his originally warm expression instantly became solemn.

  He walked quickly to the door of the shop and looked out carefully. After making sure that no one was paying attention, he turned around and returned to Lin Yi.

  "Sir, how did you get in touch with these black merchants?" The boss lowered his voice very low, as if he was afraid of being heard by someone outside.

  Seeing that the boss was so cautious and even a little apprehensive, Lin Yi couldn't help but put down his bowl and chopsticks, frowned and asked: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce? I've heard a lot about them outside, and it seems that they are quite powerful."

  "Guest, you should know that there are actually quite a few workers in the derivative world."

  Lin Yi nodded, indicating that he knew about it.

  The boss sighed, "Two worlds ago, in the world of Shaman King, a black merchant from the Black Sail Merchant Guild did something infuriating. He deceived the deputy leader of the Rock Snake Adventure Group and made the other party buy a piece of false information at a huge price."

  At this point, the boss paused, took a sip of water and continued, "That false information caused heavy casualties to the Rock Snake Adventure Group. After returning from the derivative world, the members of the Rock Snake Adventure Group were furious and blocked the door of the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce on the spot, demanding an explanation. Until now, they have not allowed other contractors to enter to trade."

  After listening to the boss's explanation, Lin Yi finally understood why the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce was so unwelcome in the Samsara Paradise.

  "By doing this, isn't the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce afraid of arousing public anger?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.

  In his opinion, this behavior of spending money without getting anything done will be despised and condemned no matter where you are.

  Especially in the derivative world full of fraud and betrayal, such behavior is even more despised

  . "In the final analysis, the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce has brought this upon itself. They didn't do a good job of screening when recruiting people, and just accepted anyone, which led to such a big mess." The boss' words were filled with a bit of gloating. "Now it's good. The Rock Snake Adventure Group is not someone you can easily mess with. If they don't get satisfactory compensation, this matter will definitely not end."

  After listening to his boss's words, Lin Yi had a more comprehensive understanding of the matter.

  He understood that even though the black businessman had been kicked out of the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce, the Rock Snake Adventure Group would not give up.

  What they need is an explanation and compensation that will satisfy them.

  "So what do you think of the credibility of the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce?"

  Lin Yi took out a box of exquisite cigarettes from his pocket. This was a special product of Samsara Paradise. It was not only well-known among smokers, but also highly respected for its unique efficacy. The exclusive logo of Samsara Paradise was printed on the cigarette packaging, which looked noble and mysterious.

  "Want one?" Lin Yi handed a cigarette to the boss with a smile.

  The boss's eyes suddenly lit up, and it was obvious that he was also a connoisseur of valuables.

  In the Samsara Paradise, the reputation of this special cigarette has long spread. It not only has a mellow taste, but more importantly, long-term smoking can slightly improve physical fitness.

  This is undoubtedly a rare luxury for adventurers who are constantly on the brink of life and death.

  But the price of this kind of cigarette is not cheap, a box costs 50 Paradise Coins, which is almost an astronomical figure for most workers.

  Therefore, although most people have long coveted this kind of cigarette, only a few can actually taste it.

  The boss carefully took the cigarette handed to him by Lin Yi, as if he was holding a rare treasure.

  He took out an exquisite lighter from his pocket and lit cigarettes for the two of them. As the smoke rose, both of them showed satisfied smiles on their faces.

  Taking a deep puff of his cigarette, the boss seemed to be lost in distant memories.

  The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a hint of sarcasm: "Hehe, since you are willing to trust a peddler like me, then I won't hide anything. In fact, I also know the fat president of the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce. Speaking of which, he used to work in our business."

  "Oh? There is such a thing?" Lin Yi became interested and moved closer curiously.

  "Back then, he also opened a restaurant in the Samsara Paradise. However," the boss paused, as if looking for the right words, "his cooking skills were really... well, special. As a result, naturally no one wanted to patronize his shop." At this point, the boss finally couldn't help laughing, as if he was recalling an interesting past event.

  Lin Yi also chuckled a few times, and then said seriously: "It seems that he is also a man with a story. But how did he change his career and join the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce?"

  The boss put away his smile and flicked the ash from his cigarette. "It was a coincidence that when he was about to close down, he accidentally got a batch of goods from the derivative world. He tried to sell them, but he didn't expect them to be very popular. So he took advantage of the situation and started doing business. Later, he and several other like-minded people founded the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce, focusing on the trading of goods from the derivative world."

  Changing the subject, the boss's expression became serious: "However, the reputation of the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce in some aspects is indeed a bit shocking. Especially in terms of intelligence, their accuracy is sometimes good and sometimes bad, which is why the Rock Snake Adventure Group fell out with them because of a piece of false intelligence." He looked at Lin Yi and said meaningfully, "So, if you plan to deal with the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce, you'd better be more careful."

  Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. "So, they are reliable in terms of commodity trading, but we need to be more careful in terms of intelligence."

  "Here, this is for you." The boss suddenly took out a hotel ID card from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yi.

  Lin Yi took the badge with confusion. It clearly had the name of the restaurant and the boss's portrait engraved on it, and a line of small words underneath that said "employee certificate." He looked up at the boss, his eyes full of confusion.

  The boss smiled and explained, "This is my ID card. Take it to the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce and say you are delivering food. The people from the Rock Snake Adventure Group at the door will not embarrass you when they see that you are a hotel employee."

  Perhaps because of the cigarettes, the boss was willing to help Lin Yi and said that if he needed anything, he could come back to the hotel and find him later.
