Liliath's Ultimate Bargaining Skill

While Gu Ding was scavenging for bargains, the others weren't idle either.

Liliath and Elsa were having the most fun, but Blue was rather depressed. He kept looking around with his head tilted back, his little nose twitching, but he couldn't find anything he could eat.

Because this Number Three Trading Zone mainly sells heritage items and other miscellaneous goods, with very few minerals and plants. Only items that cannot be identified are sold here.

"Blue, it's not our fault, there really isn't much good food in this area." Liliath, seeing Blue angrily folding his little paws, could only explain.

However, suddenly Blue twitched its nose again, then pointed in a direction and squeaked excitedly.

"Looks like Blue found something, let's go check it out." Elsa and Liliath immediately headed in the direction Blue pointed. They didn't stop until they reached a stall more than ten kilometers away. Blue immediately jumped off Elsa's shoulder and crashed headfirst into the stall's protective barrier, bouncing back and tumbling over.

On this Gold Silver Island, all the stalls in the trading area are protected by restrictions. It is said that even a powerhouse at the Half-Step True God Realm cannot forcibly break these restrictions; only the corresponding stall owners can open them.

"What's the rush? It's not like I said I wouldn't buy it for you." Liliath, somewhat exasperated, grabbed Blue by the back of the neck, placed him back on Elsa's shoulder, and then asked, "Which one do you want us to buy for you?"

Having learned his lesson, Blue dared not run into it again. He pointed at an inconspicuous gray boulder and squeaked, jumping up and down in a panic.

This was the first time Liliath and Elsa had ever seen Blue react like this. They had never seen Blue so excited when they fed Blue Source Energy Crystal before.

"That large gray rock is Gray Star Rock. It's a rare mineral from the Middle Ancient Era that can be smelted to produce Five-Star Meteorite Gold, which can be used to create five-star divine artifacts. Most people don't recognize this kind of thing, and this one piece is worth at least three five-star divine artifacts. You can buy it." The Sea Emperor's voice rang in Liliath and Elsa's ears.

Sea Emperor had actually been keeping an eye on everyone else's movements. If they found anything valuable nearby, he would give them a heads-up. He'd noticed this ore before; he'd originally planned to have Guding clear out all Gu Ding more valuable items before coming back to check. But he hadn't expected that Blue would smell it from over ten kilometers away.

"Boss, how much are these stones for you?" Liliath asked.

"One billion Universe Crystal per stone, and this largest gray stone, costing 10 billion Universe Crystal!" The shopkeeper was a thin, dark-faced man, a Low-rank God. He had already noticed that what Blue had pointed to earlier was that large gray stone, and immediately raised the price on the spot.

"That's too expensive. These large stones aren't anything special; they're just twice the size of other stones, yet you're charging ten times more?" Liliath finally unleashed her bargaining skills. "I won't take advantage of you. 1.5 billion!"

"Young lady, this stone is what your pet beast has been clamoring for. If you don't buy it, I reckon you won't be able to sleep well tonight." The dark-faced man made no attempt to hide his intention to raise the price; if you didn't buy it, your pet beast would definitely rebel and throw a tantrum.

"But you can't be this greedy, can you?" Liliath knew she couldn't fool the other party, and reluctantly puffed out her cheeks, saying, "Two billion!"

"No sale, nine billion, not a penny less! Anyway, if you don't want it, other customers will." The dark-faced man insisted on the price and wouldn't budge.

Liliath was silent for a moment. Elsa thought she was still thinking about something, but when she leaned closer, she saw tears welling up in Liliath's eyes, and then she suddenly burst into tears.

"What happened?" Elsa was stunned, and even Blue was stunned.

The dark-faced stall owner was also frightened.

"You wicked person! It's just a broken rock! You actually want 10 billion from us... All your rocks are worth 1 billion each. When you saw that my pet wanted it, you started raising the price..." Liliath said, crying as she spoke, looking very aggrieved.

A crowd gathered, and after hearing Liliath's tearful accusations, they learned the whole story. Some powerful figures began to rebuke the dark-faced man, since Liliath and Elsa were only Demigod Realm, and it was possible for them to be bullied by Low-rank God. Faced with this situation, some young people with a strong sense of justice stepped forward.

What left the dark-faced man speechless was that even a passing Peak-rank God deity stepped forward, saying, "You heartless merchant, how can you do business like this? Just because two young girls are demigods, you think you can bully them? How much wealth can a demigod have? You've raised the price of a stone that costs ten billion Universe Crystal to ten billion on the spot. This behavior is simply shameful..."

"Senior... I was just momentarily blinded by greed. I'll give this stone to these two young ladies, no money required, no money required..." The dark-faced man was also frightened. He couldn't withstand the wrath of Peak-rank God. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't fight on this Gold Silver Island, a group of people would probably have surrounded him and beaten him up.

He handed over the piece of Gray Star Rock with both hands. Hearing the still-shouting and cursing from the crowd, the dark-faced man decided not to continue setting up his stall. He packed up his stall, lowered his head, and prepared to slink away.

"Wait a minute, we still need to give you the money. We don't want you to give us things for free." Liliath took the stone and wiped away her tears. "The price I quoted before was 1.5 billion Universe Crystal, so I will transfer 1.5 billion to you."

"Young lady, I'd better not take the money." The dark-faced man quickly declined, feeling a little scared as he looked at the group of people around him who were staring at him with unfriendly expressions.

"Keep it. We never owe anyone anything. Everyone, please don't blame him. He was just temporarily blinded by greed. All I wanted was a fair trade." Liliath's words calmed the crowd down a little.

"Since the young lady is so understanding, you should keep it. Just don't do this kind of thing again in the future," the young Peak-rank God being finally spoke.

The dark-faced man then walked over, had Liliath transfer the money, and then turned and left.

"You two came with your elders, right?" the Peak-rank God deity said to Liliath and her companion. "Although this Gold Silver Island is very safe and orderly, scoundrels like the one just now occasionally appear. So, it would be better if you two stayed with your elders, so that guys like that wouldn't dare to overcharge."

"Okay, thanks for your help." Liliath and didn't say anything more.

After the two women had walked a distance, Elsa spoke up, "Lily, your bargaining skills are amazing..."

"Hmph, that kind of guy who tries to raise prices on the spot actually dares to fight me!" Liliath said with a disdainful sneer.

Robert and Dokter also wandered around the market.

Dokter had no purpose whatsoever; he simply followed behind Robert, using his soul power to sweep through the goods on the stalls.

Although there are protective barriers, the aura of these goods is not completely blocked, allowing buyers to scan them with their soul power for quick access to their desired items. However, the chances of finding a bargain this way are slim. This area is frequented by powerful deities of the Peak-rank God, and if anything truly valuable could be detected with soul power, they would snap it up immediately. While Dokter's soul power is strong, it's only at the level of Mid-rank God, far inferior to that of High-rank God or Peak-rank God.

But Robert is Mechanical Race, and his scanning method is different. He uses Mechanical Race special radiation to scan, which is somewhat similar to the Sea Emperor's detection method, only it doesn't have the same coverage area and the direction of the scan is also different.

After all, the Sea Emperor's database contains a wide variety of information, so he can identify which items are what they are. Robert, on the other hand, is Mechanical Race. Although he has a vast amount of information in his memory, most of it is related to machinery. As for other types of items, he can't really identify them.

His goal was not to find bargains, but to find more usable materials.

Not long after, he stopped in front of a stall, and Dokter followed him when he saw him stop.

Robert's gaze fell on a pair of gloves. His metallic face always seemed expressionless, something only those within the Gu Ding Team could see. But now, his expression was somewhat strange, and Dokter naturally noticed it as well.

"It's just a pair of gloves made from Three-Star Divine Object, right? Is there anything special about them?" Dokter couldn't help but ask.

"This is...made by my people..." Robert, somewhat excitedly.

"Then let's buy it!" Although Dokter couldn't fully understand Robert's feelings at this moment, he thought that he would be very happy if he found his senior's belongings somewhere. So he didn't care about the price of the item and turned to the stall owner to ask, "Boss, we'll take these gloves!"

"You have excellent taste, sir. I obtained these gloves from an Ancient Civilization. Although they are only three-star gloves, the materials used are quite special. Several of my appraiser friends couldn't identify what materials were used. Since you want to buy them, it'll cost you fifty billion Universe Crystal." The price quoted by the stall owner was reasonable.

Dokter immediately transferred the money, then took the gloves and handed them to Robert, saying, "Here you go!"

"Thank you!" Robert still seemed a little unsettled.

After a long while, the two walked away, and Robert's emotions gradually calmed down. He still hadn't put the gloves back into his Storage Space. "Actually, this is just the form of gloves. This form is only for portability. The real purpose of this thing is not gloves, but a set of Gun Armament comparable to a five-star divine artifact. It just needs to be activated in a special way. Lily can use it. She should like it very much."
