Chapter 1191: Honorary Captain
Lin Yuan felt that if Su Yiren had any shred of intelligence, she would grab hold of this opportunity to survive, albeit it would cause her to lose her freedom.
Nonetheless, a person who craved revenge was better off surviving with hope than dying with their freedom intact.
Lin Yuan had prepared the resources he was going to supply to the Sincere Merchant Group the previous night.
Mr. Feng had collected a total of 12 Bronze and 57 Silver Item-Storing Walnuts from the Sincere Merchant members.
These amounted to a total storage space of less than 2,000 square meters.
Lin Yuan would have to provide the Sincere Merchant Group with relatively valuable resources in order to enable them to progress quickly.
However, the resources could not be too valuable either, as a small merchant group was sure to attract trouble if they possessed overly valuable goods.
The Sincere Merchant Group had already been targeted once by the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps. As such, it was not impossible that they would be targeted again by another group of bandits in the future.
Lin Yuan filled the Item-Storing Walnuts with many common resources that came from Class 2 dimensional rifts.
Although it was unlikely that subterranean dimensional rifts would open in the Divine Wood Federation or that marsh dimensional rifts would open in the Iron Hammer Federation, the Sincere Merchant Group could obtain such resources during their many journeys between the Iron Hammer Federation and Divine Wood Federation.
The resources that Lin Yuan provided would be regarded as extremely precious to the Sincere Merchant members as they were resources that would only rarely fall into their hands.
Everything had to progress by taking baby steps. Lin Yuan believed that the Sincere Merchant Group would be able to expand its operation using these resources quickly.
When Mr. Feng saw the resources that Lin Yuan had prepared, his eyes widened to the point they nearly fell out of their sockets.
Although the Item-Storing Walnut was considered a common good, there was a time that the Sincere Merchant Group considered it a treasure, and it was a blessing every time they managed to obtain one.
Mr. Feng could not help but tremble as he clutched the Item-Storing Walnuts that were filled to the brim with resources.
The resources in the Item-Storing Walnuts had an estimated total value of 8,000,000 Great Lush dollars.
The Sincere Merchant Group never had close to this amount of money. It would be easy for them to expand their operation with this sum.
After Mr. Feng thanked Lin Yuan, he called a meeting with all the Sincere Merchant members and told them about the resources that Lin Yuan had just given them.
The Sincere Merchant members looked delighted by this sudden piece of good news.
Mr. Feng looked at the elated crowd before looking back at Lin Yuan and saying with a quivering voice, “Taking into account the value of all our lives, our Sincere Merchant Group was only worth 100,000 Great Lush dollars. The value of the resources Lin Yuan just gave us is 80 times our original value. According to this calculation, Lin Yuan has the right to own more than 98% ownership of the Sincere Merchant Group. I hereby suggest nominating Lin Yuan to be our captain!”
Lin Yuan’s eyebrow twitched.
After a short period of silence, many people voiced their agreement with Mr. Feng’s suggestion.
However, Lin Yuan had no desire to become the Sincere Merchant Group’s captain.
In the eyes of the Sincere Merchant Group, the resources he had given them seemed overwhelming and ridiculously expensive.
Yet, the total value of these resources could not even match the value of one source-type lifeform.
Lin Yuan wanted to keep the pinnacle Class 2 subterranean dimensional rift open instead of just exploring it once with Liu Jie.
He wanted to go obtain the two source-type lifeforms and other useful resources from the dimensional hub.
He would obtain enough to pump resources into the Sincere Merchant Group about seven more times.
Additionally, a new heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl would be produced in the Spirit Lock spatial zone in the time that it took Lin Yuan to take 20 breaths.
The Startling Lines Continent did not have any Class 5 Creation Masters, and the appearance of one heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl in such a place would stir up a tremendous uproar and cause the three federations to fight amongst themselves.
Lin Yuan could imagine how badly the experts in this continent longed for this item that even pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters could only produce by luck.
Hence, the resources that Lin Yuan provided the Sincere Merchant Group were mere peanuts to him.
The Sincere Merchant members did not know that each moment they spent talking to Lin Yuan increased the value of the resources in the Item-Containing Walnuts.
After Mr. Feng finished speaking, he stole a glance at Lin Yuan.
When Lin Yuan did not voice his agreement, Mr. Feng knew that he had made a mistake.
However, the Sincere Merchant Group had no way of repaying Lin Yuan for the resources, and Mr. Feng could not bear to say that they would return the profits from selling the resources to Lin Yuan.
If Lin Yuan truly wanted to sell away the resources, he would not need to do so through the Sincere Merchant Group.
If he brought the resources to the Deep Freeze Merchant Organization, he would immediately be regarded as an important client.
All Mr. Feng could offer was the loyalty of the entire Sincere Merchant Group, as this would repay Lin Yuan and lead to him becoming a part of the Sincere Merchant Group. Once he was a part of the Sincere Merchant Group, it was likely that he would help with the Sincere Merchant Group’s expansion again.
This was a good opportunity for the Sincere Merchant Group.
The more excited the cheers of the Sincere Merchant members became, the more embarrassed Mr. Feng felt.
At that moment, a young man’s bright voice saved Mr. Feng’s pride by saying, “Firstly, thank you all for your kindness. My aim of being here is to train, so I can’t travel around with any merchant group. Thus, I don’t think I’m suited to being the captain.
“Moreover, I decided to supply the Sincere Merchant Group with these resources because I recognize your potential. A few opportunities are all it takes for a merchant group to gain profit. However, the sense of togetherness shared by a merchant group is priceless.”
Lin Yuan’s words warmed the hearts of every Sincere Merchant member.
Mr. Feng asked Lin Yuan, “If so, I shall bear the burden of being the Sincere Merchant Group’s captain. Then, are you willing to become the Sincere Merchant Group’s honorary captain? You shall gain a portion of all of the Sincere Merchant Group’s future resources as per your 98% ownership.”
