Worldwide Survival: Begins As An Island Owner

116 Borrowing Some Money to Disguise Oneself

The information that Su Yu obtained from the fisherman’s minds was much more detailed than the general information from the heavenly mystery array.

Firstly, according to the data released by the Nine Dragons Island Nation’s Imperial City, there were nearly ten million people on the Nine Dragons Island Nation. 90% of them could only be an apprentice of the Spirit-Branded Retainer technique in their lives, which was ordinary humans who had not reached the Black Iron Rank.

The Nine Dragons Emperor was a Gold-rank Spirit-Branded Retainer Summoner. He also had twelve Silver-rank Spirit-Branded Retainer Summoners under him. As for whether he had any hidden trump cards, it was not something that a mere fisherman could know.

On the surface, these were all the strength of the Nine Dragons Imperial City.

!!

Su Yu had figured out the other party’s hidden strength through the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets in advance. There were still eight Silver Rank Spirit-Branded Retainer Summoners hidden in the Nine Dragons Island Nation.

If Su Yu didn’t borrow the power of the Ghost Ship, he probably wouldn’t have been able to escape if he encountered these Silver Rank fellows from the Nine Dragons Island Nation.

After all, those who cultivated the Spirit-Branded Retainer would mainly cultivate their spirit and physique stats.

Soon, Su Yu, who had learned about the current situation of the Nine Dragons Island Nation from the fisherman’s memories, sneaked onto the island.

The purpose of Su Yu’s trip to the Nine Dragons Island Nation was very simple. Firstly, he wanted to get some specialties from the Nine Dragons Island Nation. Secondly, he wanted to familiarize himself with the cultivation method of the Spirit-Branded Retainer in the Nine Dragons Island Nation.

Currently, Su Yu had already cultivated the Soul Scripture’s First Volume to perfection. Other than the Blood Technique and the Indestructible Golden Body Technique that had yet to be perfected, Su Yu had nothing else to cultivate.

With the Eye of Duplication, his insight skill, and the Rank Up Tower, cultivating many techniques at the same time was more beneficial than harmful to Su Yu.

Because there were many cultivation systems in a Level 1 sea area, there might be all kinds of strange methods. Therefore, there was nothing wrong with Su Yu learning more. It might even be useful against future enemies.

If not for the fact that he was afraid that the Nine-Headed Snake King would wake up from its slumber, Su Yu would have wanted to conquer the Nine Dragons Island Nation.

However, the current Ghost Ship did not have the strength to kill a Purple Gold Rank overlord. It could only barely resist the other party. In addition, with the island as a moving target, Su Yu had many concerns.

Soon, Su Yu borrowed some of the Nine Dragons Island Nation’s currency from a wealthy merchant in a city some distance away from the Imperial City. He changed into the exclusive clothes that only a Black Iron Rank Spirit-Branded Retainer could wear. Su Yu transformed and created an identity for himself.

Don’t ask where the clothes came from. If you must know, it’s borrowed.

While walking on the streets, Su Yu played with a currency that emitted the color of Black Iron in his hand.

The currency system of the Nine Dragons Island Nation was very simple. It was just ordinary shell coins and Black Iron coins made from the scales of some Black Iron Rank sea beasts and crafted with special craftsmanship.

Bronze Coins and Silver Coins were relatively rare. Only the emperor had the highest-level Nine Dragon Coins. That thing was carved from scales that fell from the Nine-Headed Snake King’s body and had lost most of its power. It was said that the Nine Dragon Coins could communicate with the Nine-Headed Snake King.

The value of an ordinary shell coin in the Nine Dragons Island Nation was roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of 10 yuan from Su Yu ‘s original world.

Black Iron coins were relatively expensive. Under normal circumstances, one black iron coin could be equivalent to a thousand shell coins, but the exchange ratio was not fixed.

The black iron coins were naturally valuable. After all, the annual production was limited. The amount of currency depended on how many Black Iron Rank sea beasts the Nine Dragons Island Nation could capture from the sea.

Moreover, the black iron coins had another function. It could be used to assist the cultivation of the Black Iron Spirit-Branded Retainer Summoner. The black iron coins that had been used would lose their spirituality and become worthless. Therefore, the number of black iron coins consumed every year was not small.

Fortunately, not all Black Iron Rank Spirit-Branded Retainer Summoners could afford to use black iron coins to assist in their cultivation. Most of them still had to cultivate diligently.

As Su Yu walked on the street, the citizens of the Nine Dragons Island Nation around him could not help but reveal envious expressions when they saw Su Yu’s clothes.

To ordinary people who could not break through to the Black Iron Rank in their lives, a Black Iron Rank Spirit-Branded Retainer Summoner in this small city was already a big shot.

Su Yu wandered around some small stalls in the small city.

[Excellent Watermelon Seeds]

Description: They can be used to cultivate watermelons with a good texture.

[Ordinary Grape Seeds]

Description: You can cultivate ordinary grapes with these.

[Ordinary Chili Pepper Seeds]

Description: You can cultivate ordinary chili pepper with these.

…

Glancing at a small stall selling seeds, Su Yu stopped in front of it.

“How much do these seeds cost?” Su Yu asked in a deep voice as he looked at the slightly nervous stall owner.

“Sir, are you talking about all of these?” Upon hearing Su Yu’s words, the stall owner confirmed nervously.

“Yes, all the seeds.” At this moment, Su Yu did not appear impatient. Instead, he spoke in a deep voice.

“Sir, I have a total of nine vegetable seeds and nine fruit seeds. They’re worth a total of 959 shell coins. If you want them, just give me 950. Also, where do you live? I can help you deliver them.”

When he heard that the lord in front of him really wanted everything, the stall owner could not help but reveal a smile.

“Keep the change.” Su Yu flicked his finger and flicked a black iron coin to the vendor.

After saying that, Su Yu did not wait for the little vendor to react. He waved his hand casually, and all the seeds on the stall were immediately stored inside Su Yu’s storage bracelet.

Upon seeing this scene, the stall owner touched the black iron coins mechanically. Then, he looked at Su Yu’s departing figure in shock.

When a cool breeze blew past, the stall owner shuddered and came back to his senses.

The other vendors around the small vendor waited for Su Yu’s figure to leave the street before turning to look at the seed-selling vendor in envy.

“Guangtian, you’re really lucky. You actually sold all your wares in one go.” At this moment, a vendor said with burning eyes.

“Gulp.” Guantian tried his best to swallow his saliva. He slowly came back to his senses and grinned.

…

Su Yu, who had bought a large pile of seeds, also started his shopping-spree.

It had to be said that Su Yu’s borrowed identity as a Black Iron Rank Spirit-Branded Retainer Summoner was neither high nor low. He belonged to the middle class of the Nine Dragons Island Nation and did not cause any trouble along the way. In addition, no business dared to scam him.
