Shaking his head, Chen Mu couldn't help but laugh.
What does it have to do with me?
Even if he knew, it would be of no use to him.
The House of a Hundred Depths was such a distant place from him.
Whether it was the House of a Hundred Depths or the Mohadi Domain, there was bound to be an ash stratum in between after passing through the transit window.
No one knew the mechanism of the formation of the ash stratum, but the dangers of the ash stratum were recorded in many books.
The ash stratum was dark and misty, which was how it got its name.
The creatures in the ash stratum had strong vitality. Even if they were hunted in large numbers, they could recover their strength in a decade.
Therefore, crossing the ash stratum was very dangerous.
Every time a transit window was discovered, the Heavenly Federation would organize a team of aces to break through the ash stratum.
Each time, the price was extremely heavy, and the first time was the heaviest.
The transit window leading to the Mohadi Domain was the first one discovered by humans.
The first exploration of the ash stratum was built on the foundation of countless blood spilled.
It was said that the first expedition team was completely annihilated, so the Heavenly Federation organized a second expedition team, which was completely annihilated again.
Unwilling to accept failure, the Heavenly Federation organized a third expedition team.
The lineup of the third expedition team was unprecedentedly strong. All the famous card artisans from the six academies were mobilized, in addition to the aces from the military and some well-known card artisans among the people.
The scale of that expedition team could be ranked among the top in the entire history of the Heavenly Federation.
The third expedition team finally broke through the ash stratum. The news was sent back to the Heavenly Federation, and the whole country celebrated.
Everyone was in high spirits, and countless people began to predict the arrival of a new era.
When some rare species and ores found in the ash stratum were sent back to the Heavenly Federation, people didn't just cheer.
Driven by profits, more people were eager to try. With the encouragement of the Heavenly Federation government, many large and small expedition teams were formed, and they set off toward the transit window and entered the ash stratum.
As more and more teams entered the ash stratum, the vast ash stratum couldn't stop the greed of humans. A large number of rare materials and ores were shipped back to the Heavenly Federation, and many people made a fortune from it.
Those living examples greatly stimulated people's desire for wealth. More and more groups and card artisans were getting involved in the vigorous exploration movement.
When the ash stratum was gradually explored, people who had been blinded by wealth turned their attention to another exit, which was also a transit window.
What was outside the transit window?
No one knew, but this could not stop the footsteps of these people.
The first to move was the expedition team organized by the Federal Government. This expedition team, composed entirely of experts, was at the forefront. They were also the group that benefited the most from the exploration.
They were the first to pass through the transit window. Then, they were surprised to find that they were in an area that was even vaster than the ash stratum.
However, their luck was terrible this time.
They encountered fierce resistance from the local aborigines.
Perhaps now it is a turning event, but at the time it was nothing more than a normal event.
The social development of the natives of the new region could not be compared to that of the massive Federation.
The native warriors were backward, and they naturally couldn't contend with the highly developed card artisans.
The Federation's advancement was extremely fast, and they won every battle.
However, no one expected that the resistance of the local natives would become even more intense. They disregarded their own lives and advanced wave after wave.
Only then did the Federation realize that they had unknowingly sunk into the quagmire of war!
If they stopped now and left, perhaps the final result would not be so terrible.
However, in the face of tempting benefits, the individual voices of opposition did not cause a ripple.
Moreover, the Federation at the time had great confidence in their perfect card system. They thought it was a war between different eras.
That war lasted for 15 years!
The native natives had the advantage of fighting in their own territory. They were more familiar with the climate and geographical environment, and their supplies were extremely convenient.
On the other hand, although the Federation had advanced technology, a jungle disease could very likely reduce their numbers by more than half.
Moreover, their supplies had to cross the entire ash stratum to reach the new region.
The battle was in a stalemate. The native natives were very cunning and did not fight the Federation army head-on.
They continued to tear open the Federation army's defensive line.
As the war continued to go on, the strength of both sides began to gradually change.
The wisdom of the native natives gradually developed their own unique card technology according to the card knowledge obtained from the captives.
The Federation army knew nothing about it.
Even when the historians discussed the endurance of the native natives, they were full of admiration and emotion.
They had spent ten years accumulating power in the dark.
Different from the various academies in the Federation, the sages of the native natives gathered together to comprehend together.
Then they distributed the card technology they had comprehended to the various tribes, without any reservation.
Ten years was enough for them to grow up.
Their card system was constantly perfected during that decade, blending their original skills and forming a style that was completely different from that of the Federation.
The war ended with the Federation's crushing defeat.
After that, the Federation officially began to recognize the independence of the new region, and the new region was officially named the Mohadi Domain.
The sages of the Mohadi Domain did not block the transit window because of the victory. On the contrary, they began to communicate and trade with the Federation.
Until today, the exchanges between the Mohadi Domain and the Federation were still very frequent.
However, the hatred of the native natives toward the Federation did not diminish, so few card artisans would go deep into the Mohadi Domain.
The Mohadi Domain was still mysterious in the eyes of the Federation.
The House of a Hundred Depths was very similar to the Mohadi Domain in that regard, but the House of a Hundred Depths was undoubtedly more feared.
It was said that the House of a Hundred Depths was the world of flexsters.
The so-called flexsters referred to those who walked in the dark, similar to the existence of assassins.
They were good at using all kinds of weapons, including soft things like ropes.
That was also one of the biggest reasons for Chen Mu to determine that the Demonic Woman came from the House of a Hundred Depths.
No matter how you looked at it, the Demonic Woman matched the description of the flexsters in the books.
Whether it was the House of a Hundred Depths or the Mohadi Domain, they had nothing to do with him.
Moreover, Chen Mu knew how much he was worth. How could a small fry like him guess the secrets that even the other five couldn't pry out?
Moreover, judging from Sue Lochiro's description, the gold-mottled liquid-soft fungus was not something he could get his hands on.
It could prolong a person's life. Such a thing would be a treasure anywhere.
Go to the House of a Hundred Depths?
That would be even more ridiculous.
Rather than that, it would be more realistic to work hard on training his perception.
Chen Mu did not know to what extent his numbered series of cards had sold like crazy!
The fatty came to the door with another person by his side.
"What brings you here, old brother?" Chen Mu opened the door.
Although he had only known the fatty for a short time, Chen Mu had a good grasp of his temper. The fatty was a typical guy who would not get up early without benefits.
Eight or nine times out of ten, he came to find Chen Mu for something.
Could there be some new materials being sent over?
Chen Mu couldn't help but perk up. The last time he had made the cards, he had never been so hearty.
The fatty smiled bitterly but didn't say anything.
He just looked at Chen Mu as though he were looking at a freak.
After a long while, he suddenly spat out, "What kind of freak are you, you guy?
I'm afraid your future accomplishments will at least be that of a great master like Luo Qi!
I don't know what kind of luck I had to actually make friends with you. "
The fatty's thoughtless words, full of emotion, made Chen Mu a little confused. "What's up?
Did something happen? "But to praise Great Master Luo Qi was very much in line with the fatty's profit-seeking style.
"Nothing happened. I've come to give you your share of the money." The fatty's expression carried a bit of a bitter smile.
Seeing the fatty's expression as though he could squeeze out some bitter water, Chen Mu couldn't help but ask with concern, "Aren't they selling well?" He wasn't very involved in the card business and didn't know much about it.
But he knew the materials he had used up were worth a lot of money.
If those cards didn't sell for a good price, he would be surprised if he didn't make a loss.
The fatty looked at Chen Mu speechlessly. Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, he resentfully withdrew his gaze and couldn't help cursing, "You freak!"
Chen Mu was still more confused, so he simply waited for the fatty to continue.
The fatty took out a money card and held it in front of Chen Mu. "This is your share of the money inside, a total of 360 million Oudi."
Chen Mu was startled. "How could it be so much?"
Up until then, the most he had handled had been in the tens of millions. How could he not be startled when the fatty suddenly threw him a 360 million money card?
Chen Mu didn't take the money card but looked at the fatty with some doubt.
Seeing Chen Mu's expression, the fatty was suddenly discouraged and said without any good humor, "Do you know how much your card sold for?
That 007 of yours sold for 350 million. Granny, just the admission fee was enough to make my hands sore.
Excluding the raw materials and all the other expenses, this is the money you should have taken. "
"350 million!"
Chen Mu's brain was crashing. Of course, he had an impression of 007, which had been inspired by the bipolar thunderball card. It was also one of the two four-star cards among the 22 cards.
But, how could a four-star fantasy card sell for 350 million?
He felt that the price was a little outrageous!
Seeing Chen Mu's expression of disbelief, the fatty's face quivered as he muttered, "That price was beyond my expectations, but since Madam Zhi Lian bought it, it must be worth that price. Anyway, I don't understand. As for you …" Thinking of how Chen Mu had thrown so many super bombs at him with a calm face, the fatty couldn't help but say, "You don't understand either!"
Chen Mu made an "oh" sound and took the money card.
"I only sold 11 cards, and this is the dividend for those 11."
The bitter smile that Chen Mu had just seen floated up on the fatty's face again. "Young brother, we've played too big this time, and your elder brother is a little scared!"
"What do you mean?"
Chen Mu's expression turned serious, since he could faintly feel that it might be a matter of his safety.
Once he ran into such a problem, he would always be especially serious.
"Your elder brother has really shaken the heavenly federation this time."
The expression on the fatty's face was a little complicated, a little worried and a little proud. Even such a heavyweight as Madam Zhi Lian had come, and his face had risen a lot.
The fatty's expression turned serious. "But, if we keep playing like this, your elder brother's heart won't be able to take it.
You don't know how close I've been to going crazy. It's a good thing I saw the opportunity quickly and hid early on.
Otherwise, my goodness, I wouldn't have been able to provoke any of them.
I wouldn't have been able to take a few more.
And, there are already quite a few people investigating in secret, my elder brother.
You and I met at the banquet, and many people saw us that day, but no one has thought about it yet. Once someone notices you, it won't be easy to hide. "
The fatty's words showed deep concern.
Chen Mu was silent, knowing what the fatty said made sense.
If the numbered series of cards were really as popular as he said, there would certainly be people thinking of ways to get it.
"Moreover, that folding Yanbo card still hasn't been auctioned off."
The fatty took out the folding Yanbo card and handed it to Chen Mu. "One 007 is enough. If an even more powerful card were to appear, it would be too much for me.
My elder brother's foundation is thin, and I can still manage to bear the influence of one 007.
If an even more powerful card were to appear, it would be beyond what I could bear.
Although my elder brother is greedy, I know what kind of money I can be greedy for and what I can't be greedy for. "
What the fatty said was beyond Chen Mu's expectations. Seeing the folding Yanbo card the fatty had handed over, he was a little stunned.
"The numbered series of cards is already enough for me to eat. Any more powerful would be a disaster for me and not a blessing.
Hold onto this card for a while, my elder brother, and don't let it out for the time being.
Given its value, it would be enough for you to attract a first-rate card artisan.
With the numbered series of cards, my elder brother wouldn't be short of money to spend.
It's natural for us businessmen to seek wealth, but our little lives are still the most important, "the fatty said earnestly.
Chen Mu couldn't help but feel a little respect for that fat fatty.
In the face of benefits, how many people could be like Fatty and be able to control themselves?
Taking the folding Yanbo card, Chen Mu nodded and responded heavily, "Mmmm."
"Proceed according to our original plan for the rest of the numbered series of cards."
The fatty pointed to the man beside him who hadn't made a sound the entire time and said, "This time, the other thing is to introduce you to some business."
Chen Mu was then carefully sizing up the man the fatty had brought.
