"Dreamqueen, after today, the energy transactions of the Dream Dimension will be entirely your responsibility. The selling price is up to you."
"The annual quota minimum is thirty million, with no upper limit."
As Lucas's words sounded, Dreamqueen's joy was unconcealable.
The other demons, however, looked displeased. They all spoke up again, wanting to trade for more white energy to hoard.
Lucas was giving Dreamqueen exclusive sales agency for the Dream Dimension's white energy. This benefited both Lucas and Dreamqueen. But for the other demons, it was not good news.
If everyone could trade with Lucas, the price of white energy would be fixed. There would be no need to hoard, just enough would suffice.
But with Dreamqueen as the sole agent, the price of white energy would no longer be fixed. Demons would need to pay a greater price to trade for white energy from Dreamqueen.
Furthermore, if they offended Dreamqueen, they could even be prohibited from trading. This power would solidify Dreamqueen's rule over the Dream Dimension.
At the same time, the profitability would also increase Dreamqueen's subjective initiative, making her more actively promote white energy to more natives of the Dream Dimension and even to demons from other dimensions.
Initially, Lucas had planned to find a few more agents to let them compete with each other. But after some consideration, he gave up on the idea.
Competition requires equal strength. It was possible that as soon as Lucas left, the agents would start fighting amongst themselves.
The guarantee of trade is military superiority. Demons are not good people. When they can get something for free, they won't willingly pay.
In conclusion, Lucas believed that Dreamqueen (Dimensional Lord) was the best agent. If one day she wasn't, then she wasn't.
Anyway, Lucas could not be wrong.
After leaving thirty million units of white energy, Lucas led everyone out of the Dream Dimension and returned to Earth-120703.
Having not eaten for several days, everyone except Lucas was hungry. Although Lucas was not hungry, he was also craving food.
Fortunately, when they returned, it was dinner time.
In the living room, a golden spark flashed, and a portal opened.
Lucas and his group of eight stepped out.
The moment they exited the portal, the five Spider-Men ravenously pounced on the dining table. They devoured the fish fillets, steaks, and bread on the table.
Wanda and G'iah watched the five Spider-Men gobble down their food, and their stomachs also grumbled uncontrollably.
"Helen, I might have to trouble you to prepare some more food." Ghost Gwen said a little apologetically after satisfying her hunger slightly.
"It's no problem." Helen smiled, unconcerned.
She knew that these people had gone to a dangerous place to eliminate future troubles for Amazing Gwen and Amazing Spider-Man, which was why they had not eaten for several days.
"Helen, how long has it been since we left?" Lucas asked before Helen returned to the kitchen to prepare food.
"Today is the sixth day. Little Gwen and Peter returned five nights ago."
Although she did not understand why Lucas asked, Helen still carefully calculated before giving the answer.
Lucas nodded.
By this calculation, Amazing Gwen would have another three or four days until her soul and body could completely merge. If there were no problems after the check-up, they could then return to Earth-404.
Sitting on the sofa, Lucas and the others waited for Helen to prepare food.
However, he always felt like something was missing.
A book!
Lucas suddenly realized, he was missing a book to pass the time.
Divine power condensed, and Lucas created something out of nothing—a book of white color appeared in his hand, which he then began to read.
Little Gwen leaned over and saw the title—The Lion King.
"Lucas, why do you always read these animal-themed novels? They're too childish."
"Little Gwen, have you finished your homework?" Lucas did not indulge her and immediately began to retaliate.
Little Gwen put her hands on her hips and loudly declared with indignation, "I've already finished my homework."
Lucas chuckled. "Are you sure, Little Gwen? Do you want to take it out and check?"
Hearing Lucas say that, Little Gwen was startled and quickly went to rummage through her small backpack.
As she pulled out her homework, she threatened, "Lucas, if you secretly use magic to change my homework, I won't talk to you anymore."
Little Gwen opened her homework book with trembling hands and found that nothing had been touched. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"The fish fillets are fried, the steaks will take a little longer."
Just as Lucas and Little Gwen were joking around, Helen came out with a platter of fish fillets, and the Spider-Men once again pounced on them.
Lucas was quick, grabbing four pieces, three of which he gave to Little Gwen, Wanda, and G'iah.
Wanda and G'iah were a bit reserved, while Little Gwen simply couldn't snatch anything.
After a few more rounds of this, the Spider-Men finally had their fill.
Encouraged by the Spider-Men, Wanda, G'iah, and Little Gwen also ate more than usual.
Little Gwen was even stuffed, sprawling on the sofa, unwilling to move.
Lucas pushed a cup of tea in front of Little Gwen. "Drink some tea, it helps with digestion."
Little Gwen thanked him, picked up the teacup, smelled the aroma, and then slowly drank it.
Lucas also poured a cup for the others.
Although they did not need this tea for digestion, since it was already brewed, it would be a waste not to drink it.
After finishing one cup, Little Gwen exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! It seems my stomach really isn't as bloated after drinking this."
Then, she sat up straight and poured herself another cup.
The others also picked up their teacups and drank with curiosity.
The tea was sweet, leaving a fragrant, subtle, and lingering taste that made one want more.
After finishing one cup, they couldn't help but drink another.
"Lucas, how do you brew this tea? It's so delicious." Helen couldn't help but ask.
She wanted to learn the trick so she could brew it for her daughter, Amazing Gwen, and her three sons.
Lucas smiled slightly and explained, "Besides the tea leaves, I also added a little wild honey and used fresh coconut water to brew the tea."
As for aiding digestion, that was because magic was added.
After the meal, the group drank tea and chatted.
After the tea was finished, most of the important topics had been discussed.
The four members of the Spider Team bid farewell.
First, chasing Karn, the last member of the Inheritors, then bringing Amazing Spider-Man back, and finally helping in the Dream Dimension.
All in all, the Spider-Men had been away from their Universe for over half a month, and it was time for them to return.
Before parting, Lucas handed the Apostle Suit to Penia nd instructed her that as long as she found her father's soul, she could use it as appropriate.
Peni alone might not be able to escape Hell with her father's soul.
After seeing off the four-person Spider Team, time flew by.
Four days passed in a flash, Amazing Gwen successfully revived, and Lucas and the others returned to Earth-404.
