Inside the room, upon hearing the words spoken by the spider-faced creature in his hand, Berlit’s expression darkens. He hadn’t expected the very thing he was worried about to come true so quickly. “As expected, those guys bought up the Revelation first and are now using it to attack us through divination. No, I must take action now…” Berlit thinks gravely to himself. He immediately speaks to the spider-faced creature in his hand. "Some unexpected issues have come up on my end. Our original procurement plan has been disrupted. For the procurement to proceed smoothly, I’m afraid I’ll need additional support. We’ve underestimated those guys." Berlit speaks seriously, and the spider-faced creature responds curiously. "Additional support? What happened? What kind of support do you need?" "Funds. I need more funds! Those guys acted faster than we did. Their financial resources are far greater than we imagined. They’ve already bought up a significant amount of Revelation at the White Craftsmen’s Guild, and now the price of Revelation has skyrocketed. The funds I have here aren’t enough to handle it!" Berlit continues. Initially, they didn’t think the mysterious organization was a large one, so they proceeded with divination without much concern. However, they hadn’t anticipated that the other side’s resources and financial power would far exceed their expectations. The sudden surge in the price of Revelation suggests that the other side spent a fortune to buy it up in one go. "To think it would come to this... It seems our initial misjudgment of them was quite serious..." "Seriously underestimated. We must treat them with the utmost seriousness now! I hereby request a Dreamscape Assembly. Everyone must be informed of the current situation. We are facing a new challenge and need to immediately discuss a new strategy." Berlit speaks gravely. He knows that the security of the society’s information is under severe threat. To ensure the safety of their information, he needs to convince his colleagues and even his superiors to mobilize the entire society’s resources. "A Dreamscape Assembly? Alright, I’ll inform the Priest to prepare for the assembly..." With that, the spider-faced creature on Berlit’s arm falls silent. Seeing this, Berlit doesn’t say anything more. He pulls his sleeve back to cover the creature, then sits down on a chair and takes out a papyrus sigil from beside him. After placing it on his forehead, it quickly burns up. After that, silence fills the room. After using the Dream Anchor Sigil, Berlit sits in his chair and falls into a deep sleep, motionless. At this moment, he is using the Dreamscape to meet with important members of the society, informing them of the situation and requesting assistance. The core members of the Eight-Spired Nest are holding a secret meeting in the dream. After a while, Berlit slowly opens his eyes again. This time, his gaze is filled with even more determination. Having awakened, Berlit silently stands up, takes two steps forward, and approaches the masked man still kneeling on the ground. With a slight glare into the man’s bewildered eyes, the hypnotic effect on the masked man is lifted, and he immediately begins gasping for air, supporting himself with his hands on the ground. "Haah... haah... Mr. Berlit, what’s..." The masked man, just freed from hypnosis, looks at Berlit with confusion. Berlit speaks coldly. "I’ve received full support from the society. Let’s go... We’re heading to the Golden Covenant Bank now. For the sake of the society’s information security, we must spare no expense to buy up the remaining Revelation on the market. We can’t let it fall into the enemy’s hands and pose a threat to us." "To build a secure anti-divination defense, we need to purchase at least 8 to 10 Revelation storage item. Do you understand?" Hearing Berlit’s words, the masked man is momentarily stunned, then nods vigorously. "Understood!" … The moon sets, the sun rises, and the night fades away. King’s Campus of Royal Crown University, outside the eastern gate, Green Shade Town. In the afternoon, inside Green Shade Town No. 37, Dorothy is sitting comfortably on a soft sofa, leisurely enjoying a small dessert placed on the coffee table in front of her. Across from her is Beverly, sipping on a cup of oil tea. "So, Manager Beverly, may I ask... what’s the current price of Revelation storage item in Tivian’s Beyonder market?" After taking a bite of her dessert, Dorothy asks with a smile. Beverly puts down her cup of oil tea, yawns, and lazily replies. "Mm... the current price? Let me think... An hour ago, the Revelation storage item inventory at our city branch was nearly sold out. The selling price at that time was 5,000 pounds per storage item. If you want to buy now, you’d better hurry. Our stock here is almost gone~" Beverly replies with a smile. Hearing this, Dorothy can’t help but think to herself. “Wow, 5,000 pounds per storage item and they’re almost sold out? Those guys are really going all out, buying up so much at once…” Dorothy is somewhat amazed. She fully understands the mindset of the Eight-Spired Nest. The sudden surge in the price of Revelationstorage item is likely due to her side buying up a large amount. Facing an enemy who has taken the initiative and hoarded a bunch of Revelation, they have no choice but to grit their teeth and buy it, no matter how expensive, to avoid falling behind in future divination battles. "That’s quite the business you’ve got going..." "Not bad. It’s a rare big order for the past two years. Thanks to you, we’ve made quite a profit this time." After taking another sip of oil tea, Beverly continues. "According to our previous agreement, based on this transaction’s profit, we’ll pay you a corresponding information fee. How does 5,500 pounds sound?" "5,500 pounds..." Hearing Beverly’s words, Dorothy’s already smiling lips can’t help but curl up even more. Since her transmigration, this is the first time she’s had so much money at once. Dorothy knows that in this transaction, Beverly’s side must have made far more than she did. This information fee is likely only one-eighth or one-tenth of the total profit. However, their profits also need to account for the cost of the goods, as they sold a significant amount of Revelation storage items. Dorothy, on the other hand, only provided information, and the gain isn’t entirely Beverly’s personal gain but mainly belongs to the Craftsmen’s Guild itself. Regardless, for Dorothy at this moment, this information fee is already a huge sum of money—far more than she’s ever gotten from any of her previous heists. This fills her with a sense of joy. “It seems that cutting leeks is even more satisfying than robbing...” T/N: Cutting leeks is a slang term in Chinese internet culture.
