Chapter 61: I Lowballed It
“Alright! Let’s go, it’s time to head back…”
Zhao Wuji waved his large hand, and the group marched back in a grand procession.
On the way, they passed a small town, and Ling Mo waved his hand generously, treating everyone to two days of fun in the small town!
To be honest, he truly wasn’t short on money now! No wonder they say grave robbery brings in cash fast.
Over these two days, Ling Mo made several attempts to win over Zhu Zhuqing, but he was rejected each time.
She had a knot in her heart, and until she could untie it, she still didn’t dare to try rashly.
He naturally knew about her and Dai Mubai’s matter. Previously, he had been a bit fearful, but now he no longer needed to fear anything.
Although he hadn’t succeeded, there was still a great harvest. Ling Mo had accidentally stolen her heart, making her completely fall for him!
Of course, Ling Mo would definitely take responsibility. Although it started as an unintentional act, he gradually realized that he also liked this girl.
As for Dai Mubai, he had already given up. After all, he was the one who had wronged Zhu Zhuqing first, and he respected her choice.
It was just a pity! In the future, he might have to face the game of power struggles alone.
“Finally back! The feeling of returning home is truly wonderful!”
Upon just returning to the academy, Oscar excitedly shouted!
Zhao Wuji glared at him. “Keep it down, can’t you see it’s already dark? Alright! You all head back to your dormitories to rest. I’m going to see the dean to report on this trip.”
After speaking, Zhao Wuji left alone! The rest dispersed on their own.
Ling Mo was also preparing to return to the dormitory to sleep when Ning Rongrong suddenly called out: “Ling Mo, can we talk?”
This call drew the attention of a few people. Tang San smiled without saying a word and left first with Xiao Wu.
Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Dai Mubai had already left earlier, leaving only Zhu Zhuqing still in place.
“What do you want with him?” Zhu Zhuqing was very cautious inside.
After all, given Ling Mo’s promiscuous nature, outstanding talent, and handsome appearance, he was indeed very attractive to girls.
Therefore, she had to be cautious. After all… she didn’t want to experience betrayal like Dai Mubai’s again.
Ning Rongrong’s beauty was on par with hers; except for her figure, almost everything else was the same!
Two beauties of different styles were very likely to pique Ling Mo’s interest! She had been watching Ling Mo closely, ready to stop him if he had any crooked thoughts.
“I want to do business with him, Zhu Qing! Don’t worry, I won’t steal your man…”
Ning Rongrong’s rare smile made Zhu Zhuqing’s face turn red! Since when did she have to compete with others for a man?
“Oh!”
After getting a response, Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment before finally leaving.
Ling Mo found it amusing and felt a sense of relief in his heart. After crossing over to the Douluo Continent for so long, this was the first time someone liked him this much; he couldn’t let her down!
Although Ling Mo liked doing some stealing and cheating things, that was only in the past. Now that he had someone he liked, it was time to restrain himself a bit!
Then, looking at Ning Rongrong, he said: “Little Witch, what do you want with me…”
“Pah! Can you stop calling me Little Witch all the time?” Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes, looking quite cute.
“Alright, Little Witch…”
“You’re still calling me that…”
“I didn’t call you, Little Witch…”
“Forget it, I’m too lazy to argue with you!”
It seemed his impression from last time had taken deep root in Ling Mo’s mind, and Ning Rongrong didn’t bother trying to change it.
She then continued: “The crossbow you used last time, did you make it yourself?”
So it was for this? Ling Mo immediately understood.
According to the original story, she should have approached Tang San, but unfortunately, Tang San had no opportunity to show off his Tang Sect hidden weapons, so Ning Rongrong didn’t know about Tang San’s means.
After figuring it out, Ling Mo had a new idea! The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School could be considered the second largest financial group on the Douluo Continent. Doing business with them should net a good profit.
“Establishing the Ghost Gate also requires a large amount of funding! Looks like I’ll take this business for Xiao San and compensate him later…”
After some calculation in his mind, Ling Mo decided to do business with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School. Not for anything else! Just one purpose: to build a more magnificent force, he needed a huge amount of funding.
Moreover… in the future, he might clash with the Star Luo Empire! After all, he had taken their daughter-in-law. For Zhu Zhuqing, Ling Mo had to go all out.
“That’s right! I made it myself, and I can clearly tell you that besides the Star Crossbow from last time, I have other even more domineering hidden weapons.”
Ling Mo didn’t hide it; there were simply too many hidden weapons more powerful than the Star Crossbow!
Besides, he could even make the Tang Sect’s top hidden weapon, Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus! No way around it; mainly because Tang San was too capable.
“Really? Can you sell me some?”
“Sure! But they’re very expensive…”
Ling Mo smiled. He wouldn’t give you any emotional discount! It’d be foolish not to take the money.
“Ah? How much per piece?” Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, remembering how Ling Mo had demanded an exorbitant price for a broken hairpin last time. Something this precious should be very expensive, right?
“Here! Just this one hidden weapon…”
As he spoke, Ling Mo took out his Star Crossbow. On the way back, Tang San had already returned the Star Crossbow to Ling Mo.
The reason was that he had dug up quite a few treasures last time, and upon returning, he could definitely make hidden weapons more powerful than the Star Crossbow.
“Just this one Star Crossbow, selling for… one hundred thousand gold soul coins!”
Ling Mo thought for a moment and directly set the price at the astronomical figure of one hundred thousand. After all, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School wasn’t short on money.
After stating the price, Ling Mo carefully observed Ning Rongrong’s reaction. If she hesitated even a bit, he’d immediately lower the price.
After all, this was free money not to be missed; the price was negotiable!
“One hundred thousand gold soul coins each? Deal…”
Ning Rongrong’s next words caught Ling Mo off guard!
This… she agreed just like that?
“Damn, I underpriced it…”
Ling Mo regretted it so much his guts turned green. He had been worried she wouldn’t accept the price and was considering lowering it.
He never expected her to accept without hesitation. Damn! Was the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School really that rich?
No wonder so many transmigrators chose to join the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School; they were all after the money.
No choice, the price was already stated, and backing out now would make Ling Mo lose face.
“Fine! Take this thing. Bring it back for your dad to research. Whenever you’re ready, come find me to place an order!
With all my current materials, I can fully meet the demands of everyone in your sect’s direct lineage!
Moreover, besides the Star Crossbow, I have other hidden weapons, like this one, Hidden Arrow, which is also a great killing weapon. Take it back with you…”
To put it bluntly, with just the Star Crossbow in Ling Mo’s hand right now, he could make thousands of them anytime.
The strange metals and various treasures in the small tower were piled up like mountains; Ling Mo wasn’t short on materials at all.
“Great! Thank you, Ling Mo…”
Ecstatic, Ning Rongrong took the two hidden weapons from Ling Mo’s hand and happily ran back.
Ling Mo pursed his lips, full of regret inside. “If I’d known her family was this rich, I would’ve asked for two hundred thousand each…”
It hurt; that was all money! Enough for Ling Mo to squander for several lifetimes!
“But now that this girl came to me for business, those two old men in her family probably won’t come after me, right?”
Thinking back to last time when he acted without knowing Ning Rongrong’s identity, Ling Mo still felt a lingering fear.
But now he wasn’t afraid anymore, because he had the ability to stand against the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School.
“The great dream, who awakens first? I know my own life! Time to sleep…”
Back in the dormitory, Ling Mo collapsed into bed and went to sleep, too lazy to think about it anymore…
