Unequal Value

At the entrance of Linsey's Plant Shop.

The young scholar Will, was sweating profusely.

Two merchants stood around him, one of whom was a young woman who practically clung to him with her curvaceous figure. She then proceeded to promote her wares to Will in an extremely intimate manner. "Mr. Will, you didn't buy anything from my shop last time."

"How about you reconsider this time? I can only charge you one-third of the price."

Will couldn't tell what his sweat tasted like.

at the same time.

Linsey, sitting inside the store, had a very subtle expression on her face.

Sitting in front of him was also a businessman, someone he had only met once before, but who possessed Sixth Stage abilities.

—Kuit.

The businessman did not make any direct threats or inducements.

Instead, he pushed a golden Double Serpent Coin onto the table and then calmly offered Linsey a deal:

"Mr. Linsey, I would like to purchase your memories."

Linsey could also guess the other party's purpose. "About the Black Mountain World?"

"That's right." Kuit thought he had shown his utmost sincerity, so he naturally had to explain his offer. "This Double Serpent Coin contains value that I personally stored inside. You can use it to buy anything you want, or even use it to order people to do things they don't want to do."

Linsey tentatively asked, "A complete, Sixth Stage awakened power?"

Kuit nodded generously. "Of course, you are a smart man."

"I would never cheat a talent like you in a deal concerning the Black Mountain World. Besides, I plan to invite you to Remote Yue City later to cultivate a suitable relationship in advance. Actions that could cause misunderstandings should be avoided."

Linsey's gaze naturally fell on the surface of the Double Serpent Coin on the table.

He didn't even need to switch skills; he could sense the intense Essence contained within it simply by observing it with his naked eye! And even without targeting Linsey.

Within the Double Serpent Coin, a powerful allure still exists, exerting its influence on everyone in the store!

It was as if there was a voice from the shadows.

It's like it's enticing people to quickly stuff the coin into their pocket.

"..."

Linsey's gaze as she stared at the Double Serpent Coin was also noticed by the merchants in the shop.

A confident smile appeared on Quiet's face.

Just then, Linsey suppressed his desires and looked up curiously at the Sixth Stage merchant.

The allure of this golden Double Serpent Coin is so strong.

Why would the other party propose a deal when they could simply bewitch me? "Linsey, Double Serpent Coin can indeed be used to tempt people."

At that moment, it was Ailini who spoke up:

"We generally do not encourage the practice of forced buying and selling when doing business in legitimate places."

So, in indecent places, you can do whatever you want?

Linsey glanced at Ailini.

The two are now considered friends, but on key issues of principle, the businesswoman is still discerning.

But what's even more subtle is...

Even though Ailini sided with Kuit, she still made sure to remind Linsey while the two were negotiating.

This guy really manages to offend neither side...

Linsey sighed inwardly, then her gaze returned to the surface of the gold coins on the table.

If it really was an encounter in the wild.

If a businessman at Sixth Stage can muster this kind of power, he would probably find it hard to resist the temptation.

But if you agree to sell the memories in the Black Mountain World...

Linsey immediately rejected the idea, but outwardly maintained a stance of discussing a deal. "The memories you want to buy must be complete experiences from the Third World?"

Kuit nodded matter-of-factly. "Of course, this is, after all, exploring a world, and I must ensure complete safety."

Although it is unclear what Linsey's specific concerns are.

But Kuit also understood the impact of selling memories on a person, and immediately comforted him in a seductive tone:

"And you don't need to worry,"

"Once sold, you will never forget what happened in the Black Mountain World, and I can assure you that this memory will be kept absolutely secret and will only be shared between the two of us."

In just a few words.

Linsey had already mentally prepared a plan to refuse:

"Since it's a transaction, shouldn't the costs paid by both parties correspond in value?"

Kuit's face lit up with a triumphant smile, "Of course!"

"However, you're not selling the world to me, but only a piece of information and a memory. I think this offer is already quite reasonable..."

Linsey shook her head, interrupting the businessman. "Mr. Kuit, your offer is not enough."

"I have a lot of important information in my memory, far more important than a single Double Serpent Coin."

Kuit stopped smiling.

In his assessment, the probability of Linsey refusing the trade was small, but it had been taken into account.

The only thing this Sixth Stage businessman didn't expect was that Linsey would come up with this reason—unequal value!

A Double Serpent Coin that contains the power of a sixth-tier awakened being.

It would have been extremely expensive for Kuit himself to create it.

Without joking, it could have a significant impact on other awakened beings at Sixth Stage. It would be a treasure of considerable value in any world.

The businessman's voice began to betray a hint of dissatisfaction. "Mr. Linsey, I know you may have concerns, but please believe in my sincerity!"

"If you feel that the price I paid is not enough, then let's weigh it!"

That's what they're saying.

With a single wave of his hand, Kuit placed a balance scale on the table as Dan's palm landed on it.

It is different from the Jade Balance used in the City of Law to distinguish between genuine and fake jade.

Kuit's scales are made of gold, and they are also imbued with a certain greedy and alluring aura.

"Oh?"

Linsey raised an eyebrow.

However, before he could even ask, Ailini offered an explanation from the side:

"This is the Trader's Balance."

"It can measure the true value of the payment between the two parties in a transaction, and it is almost impossible to falsify."

Linsey neither confirmed nor denied this, and directly inquired about how to use it:

How do you measure memory?

Kuit first picked up his Double Serpent Coin and placed them on the left.

Bang! One side of the scales slammed heavily onto the table in an instant, and only then did the merchant speak:

"You just need to put your hand on it."

"If your memories are worth more than my Double Serpent Coin, then definitely..."

Clang!

The scales made a clear, resonant sound.

Linsey simply placed her finger on it, and the Double Serpent Coin, which had been weighing heavily on one side of the scale, immediately rose to their highest point, as if a ball of cotton were battling against a steel object of the same volume! "Huh?"

The businessman's expression immediately went blank.

Linsey secretly wanted to laugh.

The Extinction Crown, The Righteous Walker, The Human Wisdom Codex, The Dark Abyss, The Secret of the Revivalist...

If Linsey's memories of her time in Black Mountain World were to be translated into real value, it would be no joke.

Even if it's just intelligence, a single Double Serpent Coin provided by a Sixth Stage merchant is far from enough in terms of value.

However, considering his own safety...

After weighing the options, Linsey still offered a plausible explanation:

"Mr. Kuit, I actually witnessed the death of the Dragon Beast with my own eyes."

"After all, that's something that can kill Dragon Beast at the peak of the Seventh Stage. Your one Double Serpent Coin isn't really enough in terms of value."

"..."

Kuit was unable to answer immediately.

The businessmen have now entered an unexpected situation.

He never imagined that the difficulty in his seemingly sure-fire deal would be that he didn't have enough funds!

"Will!"

"You, get out of my way!"

Just then, the people inside the shop heard a commotion outside.

Everyone looked toward the gate and saw that two Life Scholar had also arrived.

The girl who had just been seducing the young scholar stepped aside.

Kang Qi and his companion, along with the scolded Will, immediately went into the store, with Conch even politely greeting Linsey.

"Linsey, excuse me."

The female scholar standing nearby narrowed her eyes.

She immediately targeted Kuit, her tone threatening. "Kuit? What are you doing here?"
