It was a good thing! If Invincible East’s butler Tang Long said it, it definitely would not be too bad!
Tang Muxin’s glistened. If they bought it, when the value went up, it would sell for a lot of money!
“Dali,” Tang Muxin said coquettishly. “Why don’t you buy it? Uncle Tang Lang said this is good, it must be worth a lot!”
“No way!” Hong Dali shook his head decisively. “I’m a prodigal. Why would I buy anything that would earn money?”
“I’ll die from talking to you ahhhhhh!” Tang Long almost wanted to bite this fellow to death. “That’s Noah Metal, a good material for armors. It is priced 3,500, but its actual value is at least 7,500! You just need to buy it. A change of hands would earn you two times the cost ahhhh!”
A change of hands would earn them twice the cost! Tang Muxin got anxious. “Dali, why don’t you just buy it. Even if you don’t sell it, it can be used to make something.”
“Oh…” Hong Dali hesitated reluctantly. “In that case… I’ll buy it? Aiya, my leg is numb…”
“Rascal,” Tang Long was furious. “This is the virtual world. As if your leg would really become numb!”
As Hong Dali was hesitating, another young man who looked fifteen or sixteen saw it too. His eyes lit up and he rushed up. He didn’t buy the black iron piece immediately. Instead, he asked about something that was beside. It was a green core stained with blood. The young man asked, “Which beast does this core belong to?” The young man was quite handsome. He wore a white warrior robe and had a black ring on his finger.
“Hehe, Young Master, you have sharp eyes. This core belongs to the Town-level beast, the Spirit Wooden Fox. This is considered the best among its classification of cores. Strength +4. Other Spirit Wooden Fox cores only have Strength +3.” Seeing that he had customers, the shopkeeper introduced his products enthusiastically. “If Young Master has his eyes on this, I’ll sell it to you at only 700 Galaxy Dollars! This is a new core, fresh!”
The young man smudged the blood on the core and realized that the blood had not dried up. He nodded slightly and said casually, “It’s a little expensive. Normal Town-level cores cost between 300 to 350. Although it’s stronger, it’s limited. Five hundred Galaxy Dollars. That’s my final price.”
The shopkeeper’s mouth twitched and he laughed. Clearly, he didn’t expect the young man to haggle with him. He could only laugh. “Six hundred, that’s my best price. After all, I’m just trying to make a living…”
“Alright.” The shopkeeper finally sighed a breath of relief. The young man bent over and picked up the Noah metal piece. “How about this, this metal piece looks quite interesting. Three thousand five hundred, I’ll take it if you agree with the price.”
The shopkeeper looked at the two items in the young man’s hands and thought for a while. Then, he said, “Okay, deal!”
Hearing that, the young man took out his bank card from Galaxy Shiny Bank. “Let’s settle it.”
After the bill was settled, the young man grinned and walked away with his purchases.
“Rascal! I’ll beat you to death! You prodigal! Such a good thing got snatched away by others ahhhhhhhh!” Tang Long completely collapsed as he saw the young man walk away. He jumped and bit on Hong Dali’s shoulder. “I really want to bite you to death! Such a good chance! Do you understand how to earn money!?”
“This… this…” Tang Muxin didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. This was really, a few thousand Galaxy Dollars flying out of their hands!
“I only know how to spend money.” Hong Dali laughed. He walked to the counter of the shop and chuckled. “En en, let me see what good stuff they have!”
“Like they’d still have anything good!” Tang Long was so angry he didn’t want to talk to him. “Up to you, buy whatever you want!”
“Aiya, Young Master, you look like a distinguished guest.” Another customer was here, the shopkeeper hurriedly welcomed. “The things here are small objects. They are cheap valuables. Anything that caught your attention?”
“En, not bad, not bad.” Hong Dali looked at a few items on the counter, satisfied. This was indeed a small shop. There weren’t many things on the counter, the more expensive ones were about 3,500, the cheaper ones two to three hundred. About ten items in all. Most of them were cores or armor. In Tang Long’s eyes, they were all rubbish.
“Ah, my buddy said your stuff is not bad.” Hong Dali grinned. “How much is everything?”
Tang Long was depressed. “I didn’t say! I didn’t say anything!”
Aye? Aye?! He wanted to buy everything?!
The shopkeeper was stunned. He asked carefully, “Young Master, do you mean you want to buy everything in this shop?”
“Yes.” Hong Dali nodded. “Name your price.”
“Let me calculate!” He was really going to buy everything! The shopkeeper quickly calculated. Since there weren’t many things, he quickly replied, “It’s 11,800 Galaxy Dollars. Young Master, you’re so straightforward, I’ll give you a discount. 10,000 will do!”
“Oh, en, round it up.” Hong Dali passed the shopkeeper the Galaxy Alliance bank card that Deca passed to him. “Fifteen thousand.”
Aye?! What situation was this?! That works too?!
The shopkeeper was a little stunned. He had met people who haggled until the cows came home. But it was the first time he saw someone paying him more than what he quoted!
There was no reason not to accept something that fell on his lap. The shopkeeper quickly took the bank card over and swiped it. He bowed and said, “Young Master, I’ll pack everything for you!”
When they left the small shop, Tang Long drooped. He laid on Hong Dali’s shoulder full of tears. “I want to go back. I want to go home. It’s too embarrassing to be seen with you. Uh uh uh uh…”
“Didn’t I buy everything?” Hong Dali laughed. “It’s just shopping, why are you so depressed?”
“I asked you to buy the black iron piece! Not all this rubbish!” Tang Long was furious with Hong Dali. “Why did you buy so many useless things?! No one would want them even if you gave them away, do you understand?!”
“I understand.” Hong Dali looked at the System as he walked—Current Squandering Value: 20,000 Galaxy Dollars! He beamed with delight. “If I buy useful things, would it be called squandering?!”
“I’ll die of anger ahhhhhhh!” Tang Long ignored Hong Dali.
Although he was an AI butler, Tang Long was more advanced. He had emotions—he was afraid he’d get a short-circuit because of Hong Dali…
The few of them soon stopped at a corner. Tang Muxin said anxiously, “Dali, quick, see what you bought. I didn’t see earlier on…” They had paid without knowing what they actually bought, that was probably the first time something like this happened…
Hence, everyone started to split the loot.
Speaking of which, Hong Dali bought a total of twelve items.
An armor with two slots, a leather hat, a leather belt, a pair of boots, a pair of armor boots, an unknown rock, a steel sword, a bow, and a few arrows. They were all useless items. When they were done looking, the conclusion was, there was nothing they had use a for…
“En.” Hong Dali touched his chin. “This steel armor doesn’t look too bad. Its size fits Heartbreaker well.”
Lucifer took the steel armor and put it on immediately, laughing. “It’s true. En, I shall be a dark mage with armor from now on. Hehe. I’ll scare them!” Indeed, amusing idiots had amusing idiots as friends. A dark mage in armor, who would have thought…
Since he had already worn the steel armor, he wore the armor boots and took the steel sword as well. Lucifer looked like a warrior.
“This leather hat…” Hong Dali looked at Li Nianwei. “Sister Nianwei, how about you become a pirate?”
“Sure. Whatever you say, Young Master.” Li Nianwei put on the leather hat, leather belt, and leather boots. There was no need for a changing room to put on equipment in the virtual world. They could just put it on as they wished. When she was done dressing up, Lucifer bled from his nose…
Li Nianwei had a good figure. Her figure was usually hidden by the clothes she wore. Now that she put on the leather hat, belt, and boots, her figure showed. Even with one eye slightly covered, anyone could tell she was a beauty from the lower half of her face. Li Nianwei exuded a sense of mysterious charm. She was beyond ordinary.
“Wah! Sister Nianwei, you look beautiful!” Tang Muxin put her arm around Li Nianwei’s arm. “Even my soul is almost taken away by you!”
“Hehe, Young Master has a good eye.” Li Nianwei’s smiled attracted a lot of attention.
What was left were some miscellaneous items. Hong Dali continued assigning them. “Xinxin, hold this bow. You can be an elf archer. Hehe. You’ll look good.”
“Okay!” Tang Muxin put the bow and arrow behind her back. Her body was quite slender. But when she put the bow on her back, and the bowstring pressed down on her chest, her figure showed, causing Lucifer’s nosebleed to worsen…
“Dali, do I look good?” Tang Muxin laughed and turned around. “I shall be an archer from now on.”
“En, not bad, not bad. Good!” Hong Dali nodded fiercely. “This is the effect I was looking for.”
All three of them were equipped, except Hong Dali.
What was left from the items they bought was the unknown rock. Hong Dali took it and tried to apply his skill on it—gem processing, embedding, and magic enhancement—unable to breakdown!
What was this?
Hong Dali asked Tang Long, “Uncle Tang Long, what rock is this?”
“I don’t know, don’t talk to me!” Tang Long was still upset. “You threw away the chance to earn money and chose to squander. My logic! I need to be reprogrammed! Rascal, it’s a hassle to reprogram logic. Uh uh uh…”
“Uh, alright then…” Hong Dali sniffled. “Let’s go offline first, then. Let’s see what Sister Xiaoyi is up to.”
Everyone got offline instantly.
Before they went offline, Lucifer touched his chin and thought, Should I put a curse on the annoying Fang Wei? En, forget it. Let’s see how the Young Master is intending to play first. If I curse without thinking, it would be meaningless…
