Xu Yue had not expected that with only a bit of guidance and misdirection, they would actually take the bait—and even produce S-Rank Plot Points.

Even if he really had another chance to enter the Titan world in the future, his efficiency could never compare to that of a legion. This "exclusive information" was genuinely useless to him. If he had an opportunity to designate a Mission Space, he certainly would not choose the Titan world, would he?

Yet after being misled into believing they could obtain thirty bottles of spinal fluid every time they entered, they had truly bitten.

Tsk~

He had not lied, after all. But whether people who did not know the detailed plot could obtain that much was anyone’s guess.

What? Titan intelligence?

Hadn’t he obtained the notebook from Eren’s basement? That was what he was selling.

It was even a mission item, with Space verification.

No need to worry. It could not be faked.

As for which Titan had once been which person, they would have to advance the plot themselves.

Wings of Freedom reacted far faster than he had expected. Before Xu Yue’s Titan Spinal Fluid even went on sale, he had merely made a probing inquiry, and they had already said that the S-Rank Plot was ready. It seemed they had long planned to form a Titan Legion.

They were also highly confident in their assessment of its value. They could calculate the worth of such an item without even waiting for the auction results.

Or rather, they were actually more eager than Xu Yue to close the deal. They feared he would regret it after seeing the revenue those medicines brought in.

So even when Xu Yue temporarily raised the price, they could only grit their teeth and compromise.

This exchange also allowed Xu Yue to vaguely glimpse just how unfathomable these large legions were…

They could simply produce S-Rank Plot Points whenever they wanted!

Even though they had shown plenty of reluctance, it was enough to reveal the depth of their resources!

Upgrading the Mangekyo and advanced Sage Body was only estimated to require an S-Rank Plot. If a newbie obtained an S-Rank Plot and did not sell it, it would not even be as useful as several B-Rank Plots!

You needed skills of the corresponding rank before you could use it for an upgrade.

Aside from that S-Rank mission Plot Point, Xu Yue had also successfully gained a chance to purchase goods at their legion’s internal contribution price.

The funds for the purchase came from the auction price of the remaining twenty-nine bottles of spinal fluid, as well as the proceeds from selling fifteen sets of Black and White Blood Plasma.

The twenty-nine bottles of spinal fluid had been exchanged for a total of twelve A-Rank Plot Points!

They had been bought out in a negotiated deal by another mysterious legion.

The fifteen sets of Black and White Blood Plasma, meanwhile, had fetched three B-Rank Plots.

However, Xu Yue also knew that the price had only been so high because this was the first time they had appeared.

Once Wings of Freedom could mass-produce them in the future, the price of the spinal fluid would gradually fall to the normal rate of one B-Rank Plot Point per bottle. The reason this batch had fetched twelve A-Rank Plot Points was mainly because the Colossal Titan accounted for the bulk of it. As for fifteen sets of Black and White Blood Plasma being worth one B-Rank Plot Point, that was already satisfactory.

It could be said that Xu Yue had unleashed every advantage he had accumulated from the newbie mission in one burst. His gains were unprecedented.

Whether it was the old hands of the Penguin Chamber of Commerce or Wings of Freedom, they all regarded the goods Xu Yue sold as legion-produced!

When sold under a legion’s name, those items were indeed excellent, but even better items had appeared before.

But if they had come from an individual…

Neither the chamber’s old hands nor Wings of Freedom had ever harbored even the slightest suspicion. The thought had never even crossed their minds.

"We still want to exchange for an S-Rank Plot."

After Xu Yue had finally used the notebook they coveted to secure a promise for a supplementary agreement, he was not polite in the slightest.

"Seriously, do you think S-Rank Plots grow on trees? Fine, what are you offering in exchange?"

Wings of Freedom’s representative had already felt uneasy after agreeing to let Xu Yue exchange at their "internal contribution price."

When he heard Xu Yue say the words he least wanted to hear, he felt the urge to stare speechlessly at the sky.

Wings of Freedom was China’s third-ranked legion. Most of the time, S-Rank missions were in short supply, and the moment one appeared, it would have a use.

The reason there were any "idle" S-Rank missions at all was usually either because the mission’s greatest contributor had died, or because several big shots who had participated in the mission were still arguing over it.

Missions involving S-Rank Plots usually required the full strength of the entire team. The raiding groups loved courting death precisely because they wanted to trigger S-Rank missions.

They had already exchanged one of the extremely scarce transferable Plot Points, yet this man was now eyeing a second one.

There were only three transferable ones in their entire stockpile!

After they had exchanged one earlier, several big shots who urgently needed S-Rank missions to improve their abilities had already become dissatisfied.

You really are my father.

"What can you offer?"

"Ten A-Rank Plot Points."

Xu Yue’s answer made the mixed-race representative so frustrated he wanted to vomit blood.

"The things you sold earlier were worth more than ten already, and now you’re saying you want to exchange ten for it?"

The fact that they had flatly refused to trade the spinal fluid during the initial negotiations already showed the enormous gap in value between an S-Rank Plot and ten A-Rank Plot Points.

Yet Xu Yue had brought up the same matter again.

"According to the agreement we signed, I reviewed the supplementary clauses regarding your ‘contribution price.’ Before July 18, the contribution exchange price was ten A-Rank Plot Points. Although you amended the clause at 16:18 on the afternoon of July 18, under the Space Agreement’s default rules, if terms related to the contract are amended during the agreement period, the amending party automatically forfeits its cutoff rights. Therefore, I choose the price from before July 18…"

As Xu Yue spoke, he projected the agreement from the Space in midair. He found several supplementary provisions and relevant rules, marking and bolding them. Wings of Freedom’s representative was completely petrified.

The other party had spotted the time of their amendment during that brief moment when they signed the agreement?

There were a huge number of legion members exchanging contributions every day, and every exchange generated a record.

Yet he had spotted the amendment hidden among those records with a single glance?

As an old-established legion, Wings of Freedom naturally understood the Space’s rules. They had concealed the amendment among their ordinary daily records; as long as the other party did not see it, they could provide the latest revised version, and he would have nothing to say.

But the fatal problem was that he had seen it. Since he had seen it, they were truly screwed.

This guy was absolutely a professional!

He might even possess a special skill related to this.

Damn it, they had been outmaneuvered.

When the legion offered special contribution exchanges—ten A-Rank Plots for one S-Rank Plot—it was specifically for big shots who had contributed the most in S-Rank missions.

The big shot would hand over ten A-Rank mission rewards to be divided among the other participants, while taking the lion’s share for himself.

Yet this loophole had been exploited by the other side.

"It’s a Space Agreement. You’re not thinking of breaking it, are you?"

Seeing the other man’s expression, Xu Yue continued speaking through the electronic voice of the auction house negotiation environment.

"Fine. You win!"

Contracts established by the Space were not necessarily unbreakable depending on their type, but the cost of violating this particular one was something even the legion could scarcely bear.

Still, when all was said and done, ten A-Rank Plot Points plus that important intelligence item in exchange for two S-Rank Plots could not be called a loss for them.

It only meant the profit was not as great as it had been at first.

Putting themselves in his shoes, if Wings of Freedom had acquired such exclusive intelligence, they certainly would have kept it to themselves.

The other side had sold twelve A-Rank Plots in one go. Even if there would not be so many later, and they would inevitably grow closer and closer to their true value, there would still be a stable source of large quantities of Plot Points every time.

Do not be fooled by the fact that ten A-Rank Plots could be exchanged for an S-Rank Plot only through contribution points.

That was because S-Rank Plots were too rare, not because A-Rank Plots were worthless!

One A-Rank Plot Point could completely forge the core skill of an Elite Reincarnator.

And in the future, the legion would be able to steadily produce a Giant Legion. As time passed, let alone the troublesome Beiyang Army, even the Far East Governor’s Mansion could be pushed down from first place…

Two updates, two updates… Another busy day. Why did holidays feel even more exhausting than ordinary workdays…? Tomorrow was Mid-Autumn Festival. Wishing everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance.
