Chapter 198: You Should Have Said Sooner That You Liked Listening!
Zhang Sheng was so excited he almost cried out!
It’s just that he gets like this when he’s excited.
But he still bit down hard on his fist, restraining himself.
Entering the cultivation game, his favorite things were these magic treasures!
But his money…
Was not enough!
An Xiu appeared the most calm, but his heart was not at peace. He looked through them one by one, and like Honghuang, there were quite a few that made his heart flutter.
He first picked out the flying sword that occasionally crackled with electricity and asked for the price: “How many spirit stones for this flying sword?”
The disciples of their sect now almost all know Palm Thunder, so lightning-element magic treasures match their attributes and are the most suitable.
Nan Qi glanced at it and said with a smile, “Sixty mid-grade spirit stones.”
Even though they knew that good Profound Grade magic treasures could sell for exorbitant prices, this price still made the three of them gasp.
He and An Xiu combined could afford sixty, but the two of them clearly couldn’t just buy one.
Nan Qi knew it was normal for disciples of this level to be short on money, so she explained, “This is the strongest lightning-element magic treasure in the attack-type category, so it’s normal for the price to be a bit high. Some even more expensive ones can reach the price of high-grade spirit stones.”
But those were for the Heaven’s Chosen of this level and wouldn’t appear on the market.
Moreover…
Generally speaking, even for disciples of the Guanhai Sect, at this level, unless their families had connections, it would be difficult to accumulate dozens of mid-grade spirit stones solely through sect rewards.
The calm expressions on the faces of these three when they entered clearly indicated they had a plan.
So young and yet so wealthy, their status in the sect must be quite high; they must be from a Major Sect.
After all, they were recommended by Zhai Xiaotian…
Nan Qi thought to herself.
Honghuang glanced at An Xiu: “You want this one?”
An Xiu pursed his lips.
He did want it, but wanting it wasn’t enough to get it.
Honghuang considered for a moment: “How about you buy it first?”
An Xiu shook his head, silently looked at Honghuang, and sent him a private message.
【Let’s apply to the sect. 】
How to apply? Of course, by taking a loan from the System, and paying the interest.
Opportunity knocks but once.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to borrow from Fan Guozhou and the others, but firstly, as the second batch of players to enter, they weren’t familiar with Fan Guozhou and the others.
Secondly, Fan Guozhou had just contracted the Spiritual Fields of the Flying Sparrow Sect a few days ago, requiring a large consumption of manpower and financial resources. These magic treasures were too expensive, and he estimated they wouldn’t be able to borrow them.
The System did not object: “I’ll state this upfront, if you can’t repay, your account will truly be banned. Think carefully.”
Without rules, nothing can be accomplished.
The System could cover the shortfall, but it had to make players aware.
Otherwise, Song Jiulai’s money would truly be lost.
An Xiu already knew, while Honghuang felt a bit numb: 【We only saved this much in a few months. If we can’t repay… 】
An Xiu thought clearly: 【If it really comes down to it, we’ll have to pay-to-win to change our fate. 】
Pay-to-win players would buy spirit stones to repay.
Honghuang was shocked: 【You’re going against our oath! Do you remember that night years ago, the moment we stepped into the game, we swore that we would only exploit the game’s loopholes, and the game would not exploit us. Are you going to break that oath! 】
An Xiu: 【A man’s oath is no different from a dog’s bark. 】
Honghuang: 【… 】
Honghuang wiped his face and applied to the System: “I want to take out a loan!”
System: “Alright! How much?!”
Honghuang and An Xiu discussed it. Together they had over sixty, enough to buy one. They would first see how much the second magic treasure would cost.
The two of them split the application, so the interest would be less.
Zhang Sheng, seeing the two of them whispering, didn’t know what they were discussing, but he didn’t pay attention.
His mind was occupied by the various magic treasures.
He stared at those magic treasures, not blinking, as if he had seen the most beautiful things in the world.
He felt both envy and an uncontrollable urge to buy them.
Nan Qi had seen many people come to buy magic treasures, but for cultivators who could afford these Profound Grade magic treasures, this level was just a transitional stage. Many of them even had more than one Profound Grade magic treasure.
It was rare to see them show such fervent joy towards Profound Grade magic treasures.
Nan Qi’s eyes darted, and she suddenly said, “How about this, since it’s your first time here, and I’m counting on you to patronize my business again next time, I’ll give you a 20% discount this time?”
Honghuang almost jumped up: “May good people have a peaceful life!!”
With a 20% discount, it would save at least ten to twenty mid-grade spirit stones. If she wasn’t a good person, who was?
Even Zhang Sheng was directly moved by this 20% discount.
His face flushed with excitement, and he managed to stammer out a few words: “Beau… beautiful… kind… great beau… beautiful person!”
Honghuang was even more affectionate: “How can there be a woman in this world as beautiful and kind as you, like the bright moon in the sky, a goddess reborn!”
An Xiu was even more solemn: “Thank you, Senior! Your kindness will surely pave your way on the path of cultivation!”
Although Nan Qi offered the discount because she saw their love for the magic treasures, as mentioned before, it was rare in the cultivation world for people to praise so directly.
Moreover, these few people in front of her didn’t start flattering her the moment they entered, which would seem insincere.
It was more like their sincere gratitude for her discount.
Furthermore, the eyes of the three were too clear and proper, and their compliments had an indescribable refreshing quality.
The main thing was that men, especially male cultivators, often had crooked intentions. Nan Qi had seen many in Liuxian City.
When some people with higher levels than her came to buy things, their subtle glances made her uncomfortable.
In reality, An Xiu and the other two were not exceptionally outstanding or aloof men, but they were at least normal people. This game also clearly stated that one could not cause trouble arbitrarily. The few of them were battle maniacs who came to enhance their combat power. Seeing someone like Nan Qi, they would only think she was pretty.
And then there was no then.
Nan Qi was so flattered that she was overjoyed. The discount made her even happier. With a wave of her hand, she brought out over a dozen Profound Grade magic treasures that had even stronger auras than before.
However, these magic treasures were a bit special.
“These are magic treasures I refined. Although their power is great, they can only be used once. I usually can’t sell them, so I’ll give them as a bonus. If all three of you buy, I’ll give each of you one of these disposable magic treasures.”
Zhang Sheng’s eyes instantly widened.
An Xiu and Honghuang, one on each side, supported his arms: “Brother, buy one!”
They sent another private message: 【At worst, the three of us will live on First Mountain after the match! 】
The System was also shocked: “So it was her!”
Song Jiulai was walking his Black Blood Lion, but because the success rate of the Nine Revolutions Puppet Technique was still uncertain, he asked upon hearing this: “What is it?”
“The disposable magic treasure you bought as a sucker. The seller has been found, she’s the Boss of True Treasure Pavilion in Liuxian City. You guessed right, she probably hasn’t gone out to train much. You spent fifty mid-grade spirit stones on a disposable magic treasure back then, and now they’re giving one away for free after three players showered her with compliments.”
Song Jiulai: “…”
Why, why!
Was it just because he didn’t shower her with compliments back then, young lady?
You should have said earlier that you liked to hear it!
I could have complimented you for three days and three nights without stopping!
