With this good start, subsequent collaborations regarding Divine Artifacts will be easier to negotiate.
Because of this friendly start to their cooperation, Takumi did not use the tricks he had secretly planned before, but sincerely confessed his true purpose for obtaining the Divine Artifacts from the Heavenly Realm.
After he introduced the characteristics of the system version of the King's Treasure , the Goddess of Forging, who negotiated the matter on behalf of the Heavenly Realm, heard about it and agreed to cooperate in the artifact recovery on the spot without much hesitation.
First, it was time for the concessions promised earlier to be fulfilled.
Secondly, it was also in response to Takumi's sincerity.
Since Takumi was so frank, they naturally couldn't play games or be deceptive.
After all, they had just reached an academic alliance and were in the honeymoon period of cooperation. They should be considerate and understanding of each other and not harm the harmony.
Finally, Takumi's King's Treasure was really very useful to them.
If Takumi helped recover the Divine Artifacts distributed to the reincarnated people by the gods of the Heavenly Realm, it would save the Heavenly Realm a lot of cleanup work.
Moreover, there was also a strengthening effect, which could make the already powerful Divine Artifacts even stronger, making it easier and more efficient to deal with the Demon Kings of various planets.
These two benefits could save a lot of funds for the Heavenly Realm.
Just by paying with some scrapped or damaged Divine Artifacts, they could get such benefits; wasn't it a good deal?
Although they knew that those scrapped Divine Artifacts would be turned into treasures in Takumi's hands, what could they say? It was repaired by his skills.
Although it was originally a Divine Artifact, once it was scrapped, it was just scrap, and its trade value could only be calculated based on the value of scrap.
You couldn't raise the price just because someone else could repair it. There was no such logic.
And even if they themselves could recast those scrapped Divine Artifacts, doing so would cost manpower and material resources.
Compared to directly selling these scrapped Divine Artifacts in exchange for services that could save a lot of funds, the cost of recasting the Divine Artifacts themselves was too high.
In this case, it would be better to just sell them to Takumi and use the remaining funds to create a batch of brand-new Divine Artifacts. Wouldn't this be more appealing?
However, they definitely couldn't take all the benefits. Takumi was honest this time, but when it came time to set a price, his asking price was still very high.
After some haggling, the terms of the cooperation were finally decided.
A recycling business where one Divine Artifact is exchanged for the recovery of ten Divine Artifacts until they are scrapped.
The strengthening effect is available at an exchange rate of one Divine Artifact for one strengthening, but the payment must be a scrapped one.
At the same time, the scrapped Divine Artifacts would be unconditionally handed over to Takumi.
In other words, Takumi only needed to lift a finger to help the Heavenly Realm recover some Divine Artifacts, and he could directly obtain one Divine Artifact for every ten recovered. The enhancement service was a one-for-one exchange.
Moreover, the final ownership rights of these Divine Artifacts belonged to Takumi, and the Heavenly Realm only had a one-time right to use them until they were damaged.
After the Divine Artifacts were damaged, Takumi would use the King's Treasure to repair them. They would then have nothing to do with the Heavenly Realm and would belong entirely to Takumi.
This was a kind of pawn in disguise, or a mortgage. The Heavenly Realm used these Divine Artifacts to exchange for recycling services.
The difference was that these Divine Artifacts could be used repeatedly by Takumi permanently, but only once by the Heavenly Realm. Therefore, after being pawned, the Heavenly Realm could still have the right to use them for a period of time, but there was no redemption option.
In this regard, Takumi undoubtedly made a profit, basically getting a bunch of powerful Divine Artifacts for free.
As for the Heavenly Realm, they also felt that they had made a profit. It could be said to be a win-win situation.
So, happy working together.
It's a pleasure working with you.
After finalizing these details, both parties shook hands politely with satisfied smiles.
Then, the handover took place.
The two representative goddesses first returned to the Heavenly Realm and obtained some information on the power of faith, as well as some Divine Artifacts.
After all, the cooperation had just begun, so naturally, it would not be fully implemented immediately. It was necessary to test the waters first. This was basic caution.
Takumi also expressed his understanding and stored these Divine Artifacts in the King's Treasure on the spot.
For those that needed strengthening, he enabled the enhancement effect. For those not part of the enhancement deal, he temporarily blocked the enhancement. Then, he returned the Divine Artifacts, keeping only the rewards.
If you need to recover a specific Divine Artifact in the future, just ask Darkness to bring the request. As long as I'm not too busy, Darkness can send it back the next day.
That really helps.
The Goddess of Forging smiled and took the returned Divine Artifacts, and then excitedly began to carefully observe the strengthened ones, as if she wanted to find some clues in them.
However, this was obviously destined to be futile. Takumi's King's Treasure was the system version, and its magical effects mainly came from the system.
Even Takumi himself, as the owner of the system, couldn't figure out the mechanism, let alone an outsider.
Then there was the information related to the power of faith.
After Takumi took the information from the Heavenly Realm, he checked it and handed over the information he obtained from the Type-Moon World.
Well, it was also only part of it.
If we exchange information later, just ask Darkness to relay the message.
Okay.
The Goddess of Wisdom, who received the information, was also very excited and couldn't wait to look through it.
Seeing that neither of them talked to him anymore, Takumi didn't mind and turned to look at the person who had lacked presence since the beginning of the negotiation: Eris.
Goddess Eris, thank you so much for helping us make the connection this time.
It was nothing, this is what I should do, Eris said with a smile.
At this time, she was very happy because the cooperation was completed and the Heavenly Realm had gained a lot of benefits. She temporarily forgot the awkwardness between her and Takumi.
To you it's just your job, but to me it's a big help.
Without Eris's connection, Takumi would not be able to contact the Heavenly Realm, and this cooperation would naturally be impossible.
Therefore, Eris's contribution was relatively large, at least for Takumi.
So Takumi smiled and invited her: If you have time, you are welcome to come to Dimension City as a guest, and I will entertain you then.
Seeing Takumi's insistence, Eris did not refuse anymore and nodded. Okay, I will definitely go when I have time.
The two of them exchanged some polite words. For example, Takumi asked, The girls from Dimension City who are on vacation came here for activities. Didn't they cause you any trouble?
In response, Eris smiled, shook her head, and said, No trouble, and then praised the girls for their good character and politeness.
Seeing that Eris didn't seem to be lying just to be polite, Takumi felt relieved. He said goodbye to Eris immediately, and under her watch, he opened the Dimensional Gate and went back.
