He originally wanted to ask for 5,000.
However, Tang San was not oblivious to the fact that You Chen was trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Considering You Chen's dislike for his teacher, this action was entirely for his own benefit...
Even though Tang San was very confident in the value of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, he was still too embarrassed to ruthlessly slaughter You Chen...
You Chen hadn't even verified the power of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow before he immediately ordered a hundred of them without saying a word... This touched Tang San quite a bit.
Other things don't easily move Tang San, but when it comes to Hidden Weapon, Tang San's threshold for being moved is greatly lowered.
You Chen is a scholar who studies Martial Soul Theory. He doesn't seem to use the Godly Zhuge Crossbow normally. Although he lives in a big house, it is said that the research on Martial Soul requires a lot of funds, so it is hard to determine whether You Chen has money or not.
Tang San had already considered in his mind that if You Chen couldn't afford to pay, it wouldn't be a problem to temporarily pay on credit.
Um? Are you talking about lowering the price again? no! His Tang Sect hidden weapon, five hundred gold soul coins is so expensive! It's already a huge sale! At this price for so many years, Tang Sect's hidden weapons are very difficult to find! If You Chen couldn't even pay in installments, Tang San didn't even care about how moved he was just now, and wanted to ask You Chen in turn, has he made any money from research after so many years? Have you seriously engaged in scientific research??
Secondly, Hidden Weapon have only recently appeared in the world, and their specific value is indeed difficult to assess accurately before they enter the market.
Tang San was also afraid of scaring away this first big customer.
Considering both reasons, Tang San ultimately decided to price them at 500 each, selling 100 at a time, which would amount to 50,000 Gold Soul Coin! The starting capital for the Tang Sect's rise in another world was now secured!
Tang San even felt a little smug.
But Yu Xiaogang, standing to the side, was terrified.
"No, you mustn't!"
Yu Xiaogang quickly tried to dissuade her. "Xiao San, what kind of Hidden Weapon is this? Why are you charging such a high price? If..."
"If its effect isn't as great as you're saying, and it's not worth 50,000 Gold Soul Coin, then You Chen comes to question us later... swindling money, and such a large sum at that... he'll have absolute moral authority, and the Spirit Hall's law enforcement officers might even get involved to collect the debt for him! Wouldn't we both have to pack our bags and run away then?"
Yu Xiaogang did not say the second half of these words.
Because he suddenly thought of something.
'No, that's not right. The mistress has that powerful figure protecting her, but I have no one backing me. So, in the end, I'll be the only one who has to run away?'
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang tried even harder to dissuade him.
Tang San had no idea what Yu Xiaogang was thinking. When he heard Yu Xiaogang's words, which seemed to imply that his Hidden Weapon were inferior and unfinished products, he frowned quietly.
When it came to Hidden Weapon, which were like a faith to Tang San expressed his resistance to Yu Xiaogang's suggestion for the first time, saying in a dissatisfied tone, "Teacher, whether this matter can be done depends on Master You Chen! Besides... if my Hidden Weapon really don't work, I can just return them!"
Seeing the subtle tension between the master and disciple, You Chen smiled faintly and said, "Hehe, return the goods? I, You, keep my word! A mere 50,000 Gold Soul Coin are not worth me going back on my word!"
Tang San's eyes immediately lit up.
His gaze lingered on You Chen and Yu Xiaogang's faces for a moment.
Even though the rigid and feudal ideas of "Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher" still made him dare not disrespect his teacher, at this moment, he couldn't help but have the thought of making comparisons.
And in this comparison, a gap inevitably emerged... At least in terms of demeanor, bearing and bearing, his teacher was far inferior!
"... Have you all forgotten that we're still in the middle of a competition?"
After waiting for a long time, You Xing finally interrupted their conversation.
Tang San was taken aback, then remembered that he was still fighting for his teacher's honor! How could he be thinking about such things?!
Moreover, this is not very respectful to the opponent...
Tang San then said, "I apologize, You Xing, but I have to explain the power of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow beforehand. Although the duel must have a winner, I don't want you to be seriously injured."
Since everyone wants to carry a sedan chair, and since You Xing's teacher is so easy to talk to, Tang San doesn't mind saying a few good words for You Xing.
"Tang San, are you sure you're not mistaken about something?"
However, You Xing, who had remained calm throughout, revealed a hint of coldness in his words for the first time. "My safety is naturally determined by my teacher! Whether your Hidden Weapon are worthy of your claims will be decided by actual combat and facts!"
There's something else I've wanted to say for a long time! It was clearly a bet, but if you win, my teacher has to embarrass himself for that fame-seeking Yu Xiaogang! But if you lose, you don't have to pay any price? Don't you think that's incredibly unfair?
"A bet!?" Tang San's pupils contracted. This... meant he had to take the risk too?
You Xing nodded. "If I lose, my teacher will have to do this and that... Isn't this obviously a bet? Since it's a bet, it's only fair that both sides have to place equal bets!"
An equal bet?
Tang San's face darkened. To make a theoretical Grandmaster, who was more respected than them and was at least a powerful figure in the Soul Ancestor, apologize... what price would be appropriate to match that?
Seeing Tang San's predicament, You Xing said considerately, "Of course, I won't deliberately make things difficult for you. The so-called equality is naturally determined by the two sides in the contest. How about this, since you value your Hidden Weapon so much, let's use it as the stake? If you lose, you'll have to do your best to forge one hundred Godly Zhuge Crossbow for my teacher! Of course, I'm not some devil, I won't make you pay for the materials! Whatever materials you need, I'll personally purchase them and deliver them to your door!"
Attentive viewers have clearly figured it out...
You Chen knew from the start that Tang San could use Hidden Weapon, but he couldn't easily get involved himself. He had planned to use his status as You Xing's "disciple" to protect his "overly lenient" teacher, thus making Tang San waste time and effort on Hidden Weapon.
Of course, he was indeed very interested in Tang San's Hidden Weapon.
All of this was meticulously planned by You Chen in advance. The only difference might be in the procedures, but the final result would remain the same.
You Chen knew that Tang San would definitely agree!
Not just for the teacher, but also because... he is still confident that he can win!
"In that case..."
Tang San's expression was somewhat conflicted, but after careful consideration, he nodded solemnly and said, "I agree!"
Since You Xing has spoken so frankly, if he doesn't agree, he will seem unreasonable.
Despite his pure and innocent appearance, Tang San clearly still cares a lot about his face.
Although it was just a plan that You Chen came up with on the spur of the moment after Tang San and his disciples broke in today, it seems that everything is going very smoothly now.
You Xing smiled slightly, assumed a fighting stance, and waved to Tang San: "That's good. The intermission has been long enough, can we continue?"
