Chapter 132 Interdimensional Teleportation Array? Epic Synthesis!

"Yeah?"

Jiang Ming chuckled and took out two more identical [Overloaded Thunderstorm Cores] from his storage card, placing them side by side on the table.

He just mass-produced this in the alley using the few power banks and used batteries he had left in his pocket, along with a bunch of scrap metal.

Three cores, shimmering with blue light, were neatly arranged in front of Marlowe.

The lightning element in the room instantly became extremely concentrated, and even the air crackled with static electricity.

Marlowe was completely dumbfounded.

Having even one alchemical artifact of this caliber is already a miracle; how could this kid produce them in bulk?

"Now, how much do you think it's worth?" Jiang Ming's tone was calm, yet carried an extremely strong sense of pressure. "Two thousand soul coins for the whole package. If you're short even a penny, I'll immediately turn right and head to the 'Blood Axe Trading Company' across the street."

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Marlowe's forehead.

The strategic significance of the three thunderstorm cores is immense.

If it gets bought by a rival, the Black Gold Merchant Guild will be in big trouble.

"...Deal." Marlow gritted his teeth and spat out the two words. "But the Merchant Guild doesn't have that many Soul Coins in cash right now. I can pay you a thousand Soul Coins, and the rest can be offset by equivalent magical materials or equipment, how about that?"

Jiang Ming was waiting for this very sentence.

"Sure." He snapped his fingers. "Bring me your list of high-grade materials. Also, I need some intelligence about this area."

Marlowe wiped his sweat and immediately ordered the waiter outside the door to fetch the items.

Ten minutes later, a heavy money bag and a thick parchment list were placed in front of Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming unceremoniously put the money pouch into his storage card, then quickly flipped through the list.

There are indeed many good items here, but most of them require a very high level to use.

Jiang Ming's eyes quickly scanned the list, searching for materials that could trigger the [Synthesis] talent resonance.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on a page.

[Severed Horn of the Abyss Fire Demon (Purple Epic Material): Extremely rare, containing pure flames of destruction. Price: 800 Soul Coins.]

[Mithril Essence (Blue - Premium Material): An excellent magic conductor. Price: 200 Soul Coins.]

That's exactly the amount of 1,000 Soul Coins.

"Just these two items," Jiang Ming said, pointing to the list.

Marlow was somewhat surprised when he saw Jiang Mingxuan's item: "Young man, the broken horn of the Flame Demon is extremely violent. Without a master-level blacksmith, it's impossible to integrate it into a weapon. Buying it is a waste of your money."

"You don't need to worry about that." Jiang Ming leaned back in his chair. "Bring the goods, and the transaction is complete."

Soon, the waiter brought over a black broken horn that was radiating an astonishing heat and a small bottle of silver liquid.

Jiang Ming packed his things away, stood up, and prepared to leave.

"Wait," Marlowe suddenly called out to him.

The old man looked at Jiang Ming with a hint of inquiry and seriousness in his eyes.

"Your Excellency's ability to produce an alchemical bomb of this caliber suggests the presence of an extremely powerful alchemist behind you. Our Black Gold Merchant Guild has recently received a major commission to explore a newly discovered underground ruin. Would you be interested in collaborating?"

"Not interested," Jiang Ming refused outright.

All he wants now is to find a safe place as soon as possible to synthesize the newly acquired materials and improve his strength.

"There is a complete interdimensional teleportation array in the ruins," Marlowe dropped a bombshell.

Jiang Ming abruptly stopped in his tracks as he walked towards the door.

Interdimensional teleportation array?

He turned his head and looked at the half-elf old man behind the desk.

"Explain in detail."

Jiang Ming pulled out a chair and sat back down with an air of nonchalance.

Marlowe pushed up his monocle on the bridge of his nose, leaned back, and placed his hands crossed on the table.

The old man clearly felt that the stakes he was throwing out were substantial enough, and his attitude became more measured as a result.

"Deep beneath Ash Fortress, there was once an abandoned transit station of an ancient goblin empire. Half a month ago, the merchant guild's prospecting team broke through a layer of rock wall three thousand meters underground and discovered a hidden, independent space."

Marlowe paused for a moment, observing Jiang Ming's reaction.

"There is an extremely well-preserved interdimensional teleportation array there. According to the preliminary calculations of our Chamber of Commerce's array masters, as long as there is a sufficient energy source, it can even forcibly break through the barriers between two completely unrelated planes."

Marlowe lowered his voice: "You outsiders, you dream of going back to your own world, don't you?"

Jiang Ming didn't reply, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.

Back to Earth?

Earth is now overlapping with other worlds everywhere, creating complete chaos.

He finally managed to gain a foothold in this place; he must be incredibly desperate to go back.

However, if he could control an array that could teleport in both directions at any time, it would mean that he would no longer need to passively wait for the opportunity to return to Earth, nor would he need to take those deadly ghost trains.

This is a true strategic resource.

"It sounds very" "Jiang Ming interlaced his fingers. "But since your Black Gold Chamber of Commerce has discovered this lucrative opportunity, why don't you just keep it for yourselves? Why bother asking outsiders for a share?"

Marlow gave a wry smile and pointed to the parchment list on the table.

"If I could eat it myself, would I be sitting here wasting my breath talking to you?"

"In that isolated space, the remnants of an ancient goblin war fortress remain. The outer perimeter is guarded by immortal mechanical guardians, and the core area even exudes a leaked abyssal aura, with at least a few high-level mutated magical beasts dwelling inside."

Marlowe stared at Jiang Ming: "Our guild lost three elite mercenary squads inside, and we didn't even get close to the gate. The mechanical guards there are immune to magic, and their physical defense is ridiculously high. We need powerful explosives, or extremely domineering lightning attacks, to disable their power systems."

The old man pointed to the [Overloaded Thunderstorm Core] that Jiang Ming had just sold him.

"If the alchemy master behind you can provide a sufficient number of these bombs, or personally assist us in clearing the perimeter, we can offer three free interdimensional teleportation slots once the teleportation array is activated. In addition, we'll split any other items looted from the ruins 30/70. The Chamber of Commerce gets 70%, and you get 30%."

After hearing this, Jiang Ming stood up immediately.

"Chen Qi, take your men and leave."

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Marlowe exclaimed, slamming his hand on the table and standing up. "We can negotiate! 40/60! You get 40%, we get 60%!"

Jiang Ming placed his hands on the table, looking down at Ma Luo.

"Old man, have you been underground for too long? Has your brain gotten waterlogged?"

"It's full of magic-immune, high-physical-defense mechanical guards, and abyssal monsters. You want my people to be cannon fodder to clear the way, and after it's done, you'll give me three teleportation slots and 40% junk?"

Jiang Ming snorted coldly: "This deal is too risky. My 'master' has a bad temper and has no interest in working for you for free."

Marlowe was so anxious he kept rubbing his hands together.

He knew all too well the value of that teleportation array. If he couldn't take it down quickly, and the news leaked out, the Blood Axe Merchant Guild and the people from the City Lord's Mansion would pounce on him like sharks smelling blood.

"So how do you want to cooperate?" Marlowe asked through gritted teeth.

"It's very simple." Jiang Ming held up one finger. "First, I'll pick three items from the ruins, and then we'll split the rest fifty-fifty."

"Secondly, I want half control of the teleportation array."

"Third..." Jiang Ming tapped the table, "Since it's a collaboration, there has to be some sincerity. That little bit of material we had was only enough to buy bombs. You want me to risk my life? Shouldn't I at least get a deposit?"

Marlowe almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

This kid is a complete glutton, he'll devour people without spitting out the bones!

"We will never give you control of the teleportation array! That's the Chamber of Commerce's bottom line!" Marlow roared.

"Then let's not talk about it." Jiang Ming turned and left without even a moment's hesitation.

"return!"

Marlow slumped into his chair like a deflated balloon.

"I can give you one-third of the control; that's the maximum authority I can exercise. As for the deposit..."

Marlowe pulled a black cloth bag from the drawer and reluctantly threw it on the table.

"Here are three bottles of [High-Level Life Restoration Potion]. As long as you have a breath left, drinking them will bring you back to life. Also included is a detailed topographical map of the outer perimeter of the ruins."

Jiang Ming casually grabbed the cloth bag, opened it, and glanced inside. Three bottles of green potion, exuding a strong life force, lay quietly inside.

nice one.

"Deal." Jiang Ming stuffed the cloth bag into the storage card. "Send someone to find me tomorrow at noon."

After saying that, he led Chen Qi and the others out of the VIP room.

Marlow watched Jiang Ming's departing figure, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and immediately pressed the call button under the table.

"Go, send a few alert sentries to keep an eye on these people," Marlowe ordered the entering waiter. "Find out where they're staying, but don't alert them. Especially the alchemist behind that young man—find out his background!"

……

By the time we left the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, it was completely dark outside.

The nights at Ash Keep are more chaotic than the days.

Deafening heavy metal music and beastly roars emanated from the pubs lining both sides of the street, and people were occasionally thrown out and slammed onto the muddy street.

Chen Qi followed closely behind Jiang Ming, his palms sweating profusely.

"Brother Jiang, are we really going to wade into those muddy waters? Judging from what that old man said, it's almost certain that we'll die in those ruins."

"Fortune favors the bold," Jiang Ming replied casually. "We must get our hands on the teleportation array. With that, we can continuously transport magical materials back to Earth, and then bring back all the good stuff from Earth..."

He stopped in front of a run-down motel called "Old One-Eyed" on the street corner.

Pushing open the door, a strong smell of cheap beer and moldy wood hit me.

Behind the counter, a one-eyed orc shopkeeper was dozing off. Hearing the noise, he suddenly opened his bloodshot eye and saw Jiang Ming and his group, especially the elf Ellie, his eye instantly lit up.

"Check into a hotel," Jiang Ming said succinctly.

The boss grinned, revealing two rows of sharp, yellow and black teeth.

"New here, huh? Only one person can stay in a room, two soul coins per night. If you want to pawn this long-eared elf girl to me, I can give you a good price..."

boom!

Without saying a word, Jiang Ming slammed the blood-stained spiked club he had just taken from Tie Tou onto the counter.

A large crack instantly appeared in the solid wood countertop.

"Two large houses in a row." Jiang Ming casually tossed out two soul coins, which spun around on the wooden board. "If you say another word, I'll use this stick to gouge out your other eye too."

The orc boss's greed vanished instantly, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he obediently handed over two rusty copper keys.

"The two innermost rooms on the second floor. You can get hot water yourself at the end of the corridor."

Jiang Ming picked up the keys and led the people upstairs.

"Chen Qi, you and your men stay in that room and keep a close eye on that elf. No matter what noise you hear in my room, you are not allowed to come in unless I call you."

"Understood!" Chen Qi immediately led his men to take over the defense of the corridor.

Jiang Ming pushed open the door to the inner room and locked it behind him.

The room was very basic, with only a musty wooden bed and a broken table.

Jiang Ming walked to the table and took a deep breath.

The main event of the evening is only just beginning.

With a flick of his wrist, three items appeared on the table.

A giant sword flashing with blue-purple lightning - [Thunder Prison Horse-Slaying Sword] (Blue - Rare).

A broken horn radiating terrifying heat and covered with magma-like patterns on its surface—[Broken Horn of the Abyss Fire Demon] (Purple Epic Material).

And a small bottle of liquid shimmering with silver light—[Mithril Essence] (Blue, Premium Material).

Looking at these three items, Jiang Ming felt his blood boiling.

This was his first attempt to incorporate purple epic-grade materials into an existing weapon.

"Come on, let's see what kind of monster you can create."

Jiang Ming spread his hands flat, palms facing the table.

The [Synthesis of All Things] talent is now fully activated!

Om-!

As his talent was activated, Jiang Ming's vision was instantly filled with a blinding golden light.

Three items on the table began to tremble violently.

The Thunder Prison Horse-Slaying Sword emitted a crisp sword cry. The blue-purple arcs on the surface of the sword seemed to be stimulated, jumping and expanding wildly, almost turning the entire room into a pool of thunder.

Immediately afterwards, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the [Broken Horn of the Abyss Demon].

boom!

A pure, dark red flame of destruction erupted from the broken corner. The moment this flame appeared, the temperature in the room instantly soared to a terrifying level.

The wooden table legs began to emit blue smoke, and the mold on the wall was instantly dried and peeled off.

If Jiang Ming hadn't possessed the [Iron Will] which weakened his pain perception, and if his physical attributes hadn't been extremely high, this heatwave alone would have been enough to roast an ordinary person into jerky.

Lightning and flames collided violently in mid-air.

The two extremely violent energies were locked in a fierce struggle, tearing and repelling each other.

The entire room swayed slightly under the pull of this energy, and dust fell from the ceiling.

"Can't it be suppressed?"

Jiang Ming frowned, feeling his spiritual energy being frantically drained by the Synthesis Talent.

Without any hesitation, he moved his mind, and the stopper of the bottle of [Mithril Essence] popped open automatically.

The silver liquid transformed into a thin line of water, precisely cutting into the center of the clash between lightning and flames.
