Chapter 603 - 419: New Dawn (Part 2)
About whether turning into hydroponic fruit is too luxurious or not, Malin did have an opinion—now that there is still some time before the Tide of the Dead, Malin must employ every means to scrape together money, and those who could afford canned fruit are naturally the wealthy upper-class citizens and nobles. As for why canned fruit can be sold across the continent, Malin prepared to add some special effects to this fruit. For instance, casters could strengthen their affinity by consuming the fruit, and Malin was certain that regardless of the caster’s family, they would pay for this.
As for where these fruits come from, that’s easy. Malin’s semi-plane is now full of all kinds of treasures. Malin would pick some and have Dorothy clone them hydroponically in one go. If effective, this would be a win-win outcome.
Fortunately, the current tide of this world is against Chaos. If it were human kingdoms waging war against each other, Malin would definitely open a printing shop and a mint. As for what to make... of course, it would be those universally loved baubles.
Malin sighed, and then a thought occurred to him—wait a second, humans can’t do it, but the undead can!
Soul Coins definitely require a soul, but Malin could forge souls through the World Tree. The Soul Coins made in this way could probably last three to five days, long enough for Malin to swindle a tidy sum in Mark City. When it came to manpower, Malin immediately thought of—Donald.
Indeed, the same guy who accepted a contract from four special agents in Sydney The Capital to kill Malin.
Lately, he’s been doing quite well in Mark City. Although he couldn’t come to this world, Malin could let Ails deliver the goods to him.
Then he would deal with the liches, swindling their coffin planks.
That settled it!
With this idea in mind, Malin contacted Ails, and they hit it off immediately. Malin called Ails to the palace, and then they started to discuss how to forge counterfeit Soul Coins—both Malin and Ails felt that it was too difficult to fake Golden Cakes; instead, they would make coins, using the fallen bark of the World Tree as the base material, combined with bran to look like Gold Coins.
Although named Soul Coins, they were really ’food’ made from souls. The undead couldn’t taste it, but the World Tree’s bark could cause significant holy damage. Ails suggested that if these coins were sold as the souls of knights from a certain world, they could fetch a higher price.
