Pauper

Fan Lang came to shop with a lot of money, but he encountered such a cold reception. Anyone would be unhappy, let alone his always fiery temper.

Being treated so coldly, if he still shamelessly bought something, he would be a cheapskate.

Fan Lang sneered and shook his head, "I was planning to buy a few things from here, but now it seems unnecessary. You two can stay with this Young Master Yue, I'm leaving."

"Buy a few things from here? With what?" The salesperson retorted with sarcasm, and looked Fan Lang up and down with contempt, as if he were looking at a pauper.

From head to toe, Fan Lang didn't look like a rich man, wearing ordinary clothes, only the card holder around his waist was a little conspicuous.

The goods in this area cost at least ten thousand taels of silver, and the expensive ones even exceeded one hundred thousand taels. The salesperson didn't think Fan Lang could afford several items.

Fan Lang was blatantly despised!

This feeling of being despised was quite unpleasant.

"Admittedly, I'm not exactly a tycoon, but I'm definitely not a pauper. I can still afford things here." Fan Lang spoke slowly and moved slowly, taking out a Currency Card from his card holder and waving it three times in front of the three people.

The Currency Card clearly displayed a line of text: 125,580 taels of silver.

With this money, it was more than enough to buy a few things from here.

This money was earned by Fan Lang in various ways. The main sources were two: one was from the loot dropped after the Gold Devouring Demon died, and the other was from the dead men's wealth he got from the Silver Moon Merchant Guild hunting team.

No matter where it came from, money is money.

The two salespeople saw the numbers on the Currency Card clearly, and their eyes widened. Neither of them expected that Fan Lang could take out so much money.

This "pauper" turned out to be a wealthy big customer!

One hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver.

Even if the two salespeople spent their entire lives, they probably wouldn't earn so much money. If they had known that Fan Lang had so much money, they would never have been so neglectful before, and at least one of them would have been assigned to entertain him properly.

Yue Yifei often heard his adoptive father talk about business, and over time, he also picked up the habits of a businessman. Seeing his servants offend a distinguished guest, and partly because of his own reasons, he quickly stepped forward to save the business, cupped his fist and said with a smile, "This guest, I apologize for the poor service just now. Don't be like these two servants. I am Yue Yifei, from the Silver Moon Merchant Guild. I apologize for these two blind things, and I hope you will be generous and not take it to heart. If you like anything here, just say so. As an apology, I can give you a discount, guaranteed to be cheaper than anywhere else."

A slap and then a sweet date.

This kind of thing simply doesn't work for Fan Lang.

He lazily put away the Currency Card and sneered, "In this room, the only thing I want to buy now is their lives. Are you willing to sell them?"

"The guest is really humorous." Yue Yifei's smile froze. The faces of the two salespeople became even more unsightly.

"So that means you're not willing to sell them. Since we can't do business, there's nothing to say."

Fan Lang turned around to leave, took two steps, suddenly stopped, and added a sentence as he turned back.

"By the way, I will also participate in the Wind Cloud Genius Battle in two days. Let's spar then."

Fan Lang said all he wanted to say and left.

Yue Yifei didn't recognize Fan Lang. When he heard that the other party was also participating in the Wind Cloud Genius Battle, the smile on his face completely disappeared, and he couldn't smile anymore. This battle was of great importance, and every opponent was a formidable enemy.

"Those who participate in the Wind Cloud Genius Battle are all the best from various forces. I've never seen this person before. What's his background?"

Yue Yifei narrowed his eyes slightly, became curious about Fan Lang's identity, and decided to use the Silver Moon Merchant Guild's connections to find out Fan Lang's background.

This was not a difficult task.

The relevant news quickly made its way back to Yue Yifei's ears.

City Lord's Mansion, Fan Lang, Entry Examination, one against a hundred.

Underground Arena, Wanderer, gladiatorial combat, consecutive victories, never defeated, defeating several Mystic Spirit experts.

These were all recent events. In such a short time, most people had only heard of Fan Lang, but had not seen him in person.

Yue Yifei had never fought Fan Lang, but based on the information he had received, he guessed that this was by no means an ordinary person, and a fierce battle was inevitable at the Wind Cloud Genius Battle.

Fan Lang always held grudges, but he would never let trivial matters ruin his mood. After leaving the Silver Moon Merchant Guild, he whistled, thinking about going somewhere else to find equipment.

He came to the Silver Moon Merchant Guild mainly for convenience. Besides this place, he had many other ways to find equipment, such as doing some quests.

Doing quests was actually more economical, and some even allowed him to get something for nothing.

After a little thought, Fan Lang thought of three quests that could get him five-star equipment. It would be worth it to spend some time doing them.

"Forget it, save some money, I won't buy equipment, I'll just do the quests!"

Fan Lang made up his mind, changed direction, and headed to the first quest pickup point.

This place was a blacksmith shop, which looked quite old. Looking inside, there were several weapons and pieces of armor hanging in the room. There was only one person in the room, who looked like a blacksmith, burly, with dark skin, and several burn scars on his body.

The blacksmith was holding a wine pot in his hand, drinking with relish without any snacks.

"Are you here to buy something?" The blacksmith hiccuped and looked at Fan Lang.

"I heard you've been buying Azure Crab Shells recently?" Fan Lang went straight to the point, trying to trigger the quest.

"Well, I've been buying this stuff recently, planning to collect a hundred of them, but I've only collected a dozen or so, far from enough."

"If I get you a hundred Azure Crab Shells, how much Silver are you willing to pay?"

"You have a hundred Azure Crab Shells?" The blacksmith asked, his drunken eyes regaining some clarity.

"I don't have them on me, but I can get them." Fan Lang said.

"To be honest, I don't have that much cash to buy a hundred Azure Crab Shells. Originally, I was planning to buy them slowly, but I didn't expect someone to bring so many at once. How about this, if you can bring a hundred Azure Crab Shells, how about I exchange them for a five-star Crab Shell Shield?" The blacksmith suggested.

Azure Crab Shells were the shells of a crab-like Demon Beast, which could be used to make equipment. A hundred Azure Crab Shells were enough to make two five-star equipment.

This deal was not a loss for the blacksmith, what he had to pay was mainly sweat.

[Player triggered a transaction quest, the quest name is 'Crab Shells and Shield', the quest reward is a five-star equipment Crab Shell Shield, 8000 experience points, deadline is 5 days.]

The system prompt popped up immediately after triggering the quest.

This was exactly what Fan Lang wanted.

"Okay, it's settled then, I'll go prepare the Azure Crab Shells for you. You clean the shield and wait for me to come and get it!" Fan Lang smiled.
