My teacher is a deity.

Chapter 39 Becoming a Sugar Daddy

A long time passed.

Vishi and Shi Qing returned to the ground once again.

The dilapidated market on the ground has been renovated.

Blacksmiths, weapon dealers, merchants—almost all the business people who made a living in the dungeon flocked here.

Although a bloody war broke out on the first day, and there were unfortunate people trampled to death everywhere.

But under the lure of money and the call of power, those unpleasant things seemed to have never happened.

Vichy sighed and walked into a small alley, winding and turning several times.

Soon they arrived at a tavern with a sign hanging above it.

[Intelligence Hub]

Yes, that's the name.

Vichy looked at it again and again, but couldn't find a single thing to complain about.

She had thought that underground intelligence exchanges would be more discreet, but the staff here were very frank with her.

They paid their taxes.

"Never mind, at least the source is still accurate."

Pushing open the wooden door, it was clear that there weren't many people in the tavern, even though it was broad daylight.

I randomly found a spot and ordered a bowl of bean soup.

Vichy began writing on the slip of paper the waiter handed him.

"Teacher, what kind of harmful substance are we looking for to 'control gold'?"

"'Golden' is different from others; it cannot be obtained by devouring monsters. If you want 'Golden,' you'd better find a monster that is half mineral and half living."

Observe their growth mechanism and use qi and blood to build a defensive layer in the body that can grow scale-like armor.

This is the essence of metal tempering, and also true bone tempering.

"It's so complicated, won't it hurt a lot?"

Vishi blinked; this last one, bone tempering, sounded much more troublesome than the previous four.

"Heh, otherwise why would there be four other bone-tempering techniques?"

"Isn't the point of acquiring those resistances to save your life in the last hurdle?"

Vishi was speechless, realizing just how difficult the final step, bone tempering, was.

They wrote and drew, handing their requirements for the monster to the waiter.

A few minutes later, an elderly man walked out from backstage.

"My friend, we do have the information you're looking for, three types in total."

"Two gold coins for one piece of information, no bargaining."

Vichy readily tossed six gold coins onto the plate.

The old man nodded slightly, took out a piece of white paper that had already been written on from his pocket, and then turned and left.

This is the style of intelligence hubs: they collect intelligence from others, summarize it, and then categorize it.

Useful and useless, all come together.

Some boasts by adventurers in harsh winters may be worthless, but they may also fetch a high price.

The sales format itself isn't difficult; the challenge lies in finding answers that satisfy customers. It's said that the Empire also wants to create a similar puppet.

Unfortunately, all they created were demons that could lie and spout nonsense.

From this perspective, the "intelligence hub" is indeed unfathomable.

Vichy snapped out of his thoughts.

Focus your attention on the blank paper.

"The Golden Lion has an enemy called the Silver Wolf."

Both have similar living habits and are territorial. They live not far apart in the underground city and their staple foods are coarse mithril, copper, and lithium.

They emit a dazzling flash of electricity when they run, and usually appear in groups.

Silver Wolf?

Vichy suddenly felt as if his money had been wasted, and that he should have asked more specific questions.

The Golden Lion was scared away, so how could these monsters, who are even weaker than them, possibly remain in the Green Valley Dungeon?

Now look at the second one.

"In the underground city, which is mainly composed of the sea, there is a deep-sea monster called the saber-toothed fish. It is huge and has delicious meat, which is very good for grilling."

They typically feed on fish, but they also ingest precious metals such as refined gold to make their teeth even sharper.

However, due to its money-grubbing nature, this monster is basically extinct, and perhaps only Ryan in the vampire territory possesses its remains.

?

Vichy looked up, holding the twig in his hand, at the old man who was slowly wiping the cup.

"Doesn't your conscience hurt when you give out this kind of information?"

"You mean you want me to invade Gem Castle?"

The old man glanced at Vichy.

"Your question only has these conditions: it's limited to the vampire territory, but it doesn't say they have to be in the wild or alive."

You can seek a legal ruling, but I can guarantee we won't make any mistakes.

Vichy blushed; she was red with anger.

She really wanted to punch that old bastard and let this unscrupulous businessman know what the iron fist of consumers is!

But years of family education calmed Vichy down, and she opened the last note.

"Deepest in the Red Marrow Dungeon, there once existed a vein of adamantite."

This vein of minerals has given rise to a group of sub-dragons known as the Golden Scale Dragons.

Unlike purebred true dragons and golden dragons, these sub-dragons do not have a gregarious nature, but they are just as strong, being high-level monsters of the third tier.

Note: The number of survivors is currently unknown, and there is no guarantee that they are still alive.

Please note again: Golden-scaled Dragons are not real dragons. They have no relation to golden dragons, are not real dragons, and will not suffer retaliation from dragons.

Vichy suddenly looked up. She wanted to punch this man right now, she couldn't hold back any longer!

Fight the dragon?

The strongest lord in a dungeon?

she?

"There's nothing we can do, your requirements are just too demanding. Of course, we have backup plans."

"Alternative plan?"

"Look, everyone is using magic puppets now, which shows that magic puppets are indeed very powerful, but what makes magic puppets so powerful?"

Isn't its strength just in those magic array templates? We also have some pretty good stuff here..."

Vichy was stunned. She watched as the old man pulled out a perfectly intact spell template from under the tavern counter, with even third-tier spells engraved on it!

This must be military-grade...

"So you guys also do sales pitches?"

"There's no other way. It's a small business, so every little bit helps. Nine hundred gold coins, no bargaining."

boom!

With a loud bang, the old man watched as Vichy slammed the door and left.

......

"These guys are outrageous! Selling it for nine hundred gold coins! This is robbery!"

Vichy was furious, feeling like he was about to be taken advantage of.

"Well, not necessarily. That thing is a bit special; the technology it uses is much better than the junk we've seen before."

Actually, you could buy one and take it home to study.

"Teacher! If we buy that stuff, we'll be eating dirt!"

"Hahaha."

Shi Qing smiled politely but awkwardly a few times before changing the subject and talking about serious business.

"Vichy, let's hunt down the Golden Scaled Dragon. That monster is quite good and would be perfect as your 'pesticide'."

"We can't beat them! They're third-tier monsters, and they even have dragon blood! An entire high-level adventure team couldn't defeat them!"

The Golden Scaled Dragon is covered in pure gold, making it immune to most magic. It has maximum resistance to magic and is also covered in dragon blood, making it incredibly tough and resilient.

Oh, right, teacher, you can use that sword strike again...

Under Shi Qing's gaze, Vichy couldn't help but lower his head, not daring to mention the matter again.

"Actually, it's not that difficult to deal with. Just be prepared. At worst, you can spend some money and become a patron, hiring some adventure groups to escort you."

"But that's very expensive!"

"Don't panic, your teacher has some clever ways to make money."
