Dimensional Tycoon: I Make Trillions in Every World-Chapter 38: Convincing

The room temperature dropped by several degrees.

Neither the sect elders nor his disciples knew how to answer Noa’s offer.

On one hand, they feared what he could do to them.

On the other hand, they didn’t want to join him and spend the rest of their lives as his slaves.

Yet Karma and Noa made sure that they were left with only these two options, and even if they sacrificed their lives, there was no escape.

If this had been a normal situation, one not influenced by Karma, choosing death would have been an honorable way to go.

But the reality was harsh.

And looking at Noa’s mocking face, all they wanted was to torture and humiliate him for the rest of eternity.

Even Yun Qiqi looked like a target for them.

However, Karma dug into their minds, altering their very essence while also shaping their thoughts.

Instantly, every omen they had with Noa disappeared.

Though they still hated him, it was quickly replaced by fear and submission.

The disciples were the first ones to lose their composure, their eyes already giving up.

They remained frozen.

Meanwhile, Noa resumed his speech, as their emotions slipped from their control.

"Your sect is doomed. Without my help or my rice, everyone will die either at the hands of opposing sects or from spiritual energy."

His words hung in the air.

Qing Xuan gulped, standing beside him.

She glanced at Noa, asking for permission to speak.

After getting a commanding nod of approval, she coughed and opened her mouth.

"You think you will be selling your pride by joining him?" she asked, glancing at her former sect members.

A trace of recognition flashed across her face as she knew almost all of them.

She sighed, letting emotions influence her actions.

"You think this will break you? No. This is salvation—and I experienced this firsthand."

She then gestured around the store, pointing at the smooth shelves.

"Hue and I were just like you... Only two days ago. We worked for scraps, chased for breakthroughs with our stagnant progress. And we had nothing—until we met him."

Her gaze moved to Noa.

Almost untraceable warmth appeared in her eyes.

"The resources he has are things not even our sect leader can imagine."

She showed a dry smile, whispering so only the sect members would hear, hiding the truth from the customers.

"You think it was a coincidence rice disappeared from the world, and he is the only one who still has it? So start begging for the strength only he can provide."

She stopped.

That’s all she wanted to say, but there was one more thing she wanted to show.

Qing Xuan reached for the nearby plate and scooped a small bowl of steamed rice.

Elder Jin flinched.

He felt the strong qi emitting from the food.

It was nothing like anything he had ever seen, his hands trying to reach out for a bite.

Some of the younger disciples gasped as well.

Rice.

Something that started to be appreciated only after they had lost it.

And now they needed it for their survival.

Meanwhile, Qing Xuan took her first bite. Then another.

Right after the third bite, her aura skyrocketed, swallowing surrounding air as her hair floated slightly.

A strong pulse of qi burned at her core.

A soft shockwave moved air in her direction as her cultivation base began to climb.

It was a visible process—a clear sign of a breakthrough that everyone could feel.

She did it with three bites of rice.

No rare herbs, no pills, or rituals were used in the process.

Opening her eyes and closing them to get accustomed to her new strength, her breathing steadied.

"Impossible!" Elder Jin barely made a sound.

He sensed energy coming from the girl before him, and his eyes widened.

"There is no way this is real. I can’t believe it," he continued to mutter like a madman. "There is no way she had already grasped Dao. How can she be on a Spirit Severing stage already?"

The very idea that his disciple had caught up to him stunned him.

She was at the Qi Condensation stage when he saw her last, and it had only been three or four days since then.

’This was an ultimate showdown,’ Noa thought.

He liked the expression Elder Jin and others made after seeing the miraculous effects his rice had.

"B-But I have tried your products. They didn’t work. You are nothing but a scammer who is lying to everyone."

The man didn’t want to give up, his voice cracking with disbelief.

It made no sense for something like this to exist in this world, especially in the shop that was selling overpriced garbage.

Noa didn’t even look at him directly.

Yet he spoke quietly.

"The store doesn’t serve everyone. It responds to one’s intentions, and you, my friend, had the wrong plan."

The elder swallowed hard. freeweɓnøvel.com

His gaze moved back to Qing Xuan, and a strong sense of greed manifested in his heart.

But unknowingly to him, Karma fixed that too.

"Then... what should I do?"

He asked after swallowing hard.

Noa basked in silence, didn’t answer right away.

He looked at Yun Qiqi, who wanted to flick more foreheads, and chuckled.

Then he said,

"Try being a normal person who wants to grow. Forget that you are a sect elder with a mission and try sincerity."

Hearing Noa’s words, the man didn’t move.

Karma gave him every right to take the steps he wanted to take so desperately before.

But he stood still.

Karma wasn’t just a mind manipulator that made people good-natured.

Its only mission was to ensure that nothing happened to the store’s property, and if Elder Jin left the building, his previous hatred would easily return.

So Noa had to convince him.

Convince him and his elite force with his words and products, so they would actually change their ways.

Not because they would become kinder, and the greed would disappear.

But because they would see what was better for their future.

"Can I try it as well?"

One of the disciples pleaded to try Noa’s product.
