In-Depth Exchange

"Since Teacher Yan is so sincere about buying, I'll be frank," Bai Xiaowen said, opening her palm to reveal ten blood-red Treasure Leaf that emitted a delicate fragrance. "The situation was chaotic at the time, and I didn't actually have much to sell. Besides, I needed to keep some for myself, so I can only sell these."

"Ten leaves? Were they all picked from the mother Dragonblood Tea Tree?"

Yan Xiaoxin's eyes lit up.

"Yes," Bai Xiaowen replied, while secretly wondering if the Treasure Leaf on the mother tree were of even better quality.

Yan Xiaoxin said with a smile, "Okay, deal... Bai Xiaowen, how many Treasure Leaf do you still have? Why don't you sell them all to me? I'll buy as many as you have."

Bai Xiaowen said helplessly, "I'm only willing to sell ten pieces to the school because I'm a member of Jinghai University... Teacher Yan, having too much of an appetite isn't good."

Yan Xiaoxin was in a good mood and chuckled, "The Treasure Leaf of the Dragonblood Tea Tree are of no use to you at this stage; they're only useful to Advanced Awakened. You sell them to me and get a large amount of Psionic Points to strengthen yourself, so it's a win-win situation."

No matter how Yan Xiaoxin tried to persuade her, Bai Xiaowen refused to sell anymore.

As Bai Xiaowen said, he was willing to sell 10 pieces to the school as a way of repaying them—after all, he was a member of Jinghai University, Jinghai University gave him this free opportunity to explore the Great Rift Valley Treasure Space.

Yan Xiaoxin's urgency in acquiring the Treasure Leaf reveals that Dragonblood Tea Tree Treasure Leaf are mostly priceless spiritual treasures among Advanced Awakened. Bai Xiaowen could easily convert them into cash if he wanted, and the price would certainly not be lower than 5,000 Psionic Points per leaf.

Yan Xiaoxin readily transferred 50,000 Psionic Points to Bai Xiaowen, which surprised Bai Xiaowen somewhat.

"Teacher Yan, you really can't judge a book by its cover! You actually have so many Psionic Points stored up on you."

Yan Xiaoxin said with a smile, "Don't misunderstand, this is public funds from the school. They approved a quota of 200,000 Psionic Points before we left. I'm just an employee, buying them for the school. As for the 3,000 points, I'll apply for them for you when we get back to school."

Bai Xiaowen curled her lip. An unsupervised purchasing agent with pricing power... This alone shows Yan Xiaoxin's status and background at Jinghai University, as well as the trust she enjoys.

After confirming several times that Bai Xiaowen couldn't buy any more Treasure Leaf, Yan Xiaoxin got out of the car and went to ask other students for help with purchasing.

"How many Treasure Leaf do you have left?" Li Shuyi asked curiously. Knowing Bai Xiaowen as she did, she knew that if Bai Xiaowen could sell 10 leaves to the school, she must have kept more than 20 for herself.

"Not many, only sixty or seventy pieces..." Bai Xiaowen chuckled.

"This..."

Li Shuyi's eyes widened. "One Treasure Leaf worth 5,000 points of spiritual energy, so 60 leaves would be... 300,000 Psionic Points? My god, Xiao Wen, you've struck it rich!"

Bai Xiaowen laughed and said, "There's no need to rush to cash it out. The value of the Treasure Leaf won't decrease if we keep them; we might even be able to use them later."

This trip to the Great Rift has come to an end, and Bai Xiaowen is the biggest winner, making a fortune.

At this moment, some college students had not yet returned to the Great Rift, and those who had come out earlier could only wait.

When returning from Special Treasure Ground Wilderness Zone, everyone must form a convoy to travel back through the Wilderness Zone to the base city. This is a rule that all universities have.

After waiting outside for more than a day, the last student from Jinghai University finally left the Great Rift. Yan Xiaoxin called out everyone's names, and since no one was absent, the convoy returned.

Unlike on the way there, the convoy did not encounter any Rat Swarm or similar attacks on the return trip, which are uncommon.

Back at Taoran Residence, a lakeside villa by Jinghai University, Bai Xiaowen made a phone call to his guild assistant, who then handed over the Leader Tier mutated beast corpse from the Storage Space to the guild's channels for sale.

I learned from the assistant that the Gold Equipment [Snake Handler's Belt] and the blue equipment shield that Bai Xiaowen entrusted the guild to sell have been successfully sold.

The [Snake Handler's Belt] sold for 10,000 Psionic Points, while the Blue Gear shield sold for 2,800 points.

"That obscure [Snake Handler's Belt] actually sold for 10,000?" Li Shuyi exclaimed in amazement. "My [Feathering Necklace] only cost 8,000 points, but comparing the two, the necklace is clearly much better."

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "[The Feathering Necklace] is very good, but you have to consider the number of people who are qualified to bid. Only the three of us—me, Han Xu, and you—were qualified to bid on the female White Eagle BOSS, so the final price is naturally not high. On the other hand, the [Snake Handler's Belt] is an item that Bind on Equip, so it can be put on the auction house, allowing many Awakened Ones to see it and participate in the bidding. The final transaction price of 10,000 is also reasonable."

After a pause, Bai Xiaowen added, "If the [Feathering Necklace] is also Bind on Equip, it could potentially fetch 30,000 or 50,000 Psionic Points at an auction."

Li Shuyi nodded to indicate that she understood.

"Our Spirit Realm Ticket still have about four days left. Let's take these few days to rest, relax, and recharge."

Bai Xiaowen revealed an indescribable smile and walked over. Amid Li Shuyi's gasp, he picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.

Li Shuyi's exclamation quickly turned into whimpers. She hooked her arms around Bai Xiaowen's neck, and the two of them fell onto the soft bed together.

Bai Xiaowen woke up feeling refreshed.

In the following days, Bai Xiaowen did more live streams to maintain her C-Tier profile.

However, the number of viewers did not increase rapidly this time. The Shark Livestream Platform did not give Bai Xiaowen any promotion. Only some fans who happened to be online and followed Bai Xiaowen's live stream came over. The number of viewers was less than one-third of the peak number.

"Oh, I've already messaged Sister Yan to say I'm going to do a live stream."

Bai Xiaowen found it a bit strange. After broadcasting for two hours, she ended the broadcast, picked up her phone, and went to her contacts.

Before I could even dial, a loud, upbeat music started playing from an unfamiliar number—a video call request.

Bai Xiaowen chose to answer the call.

On the other end of the video is a beautiful woman with a pretty face, a hot figure, and wearing an office lady uniform. She is well-maintained and her age is hard to guess; she looks like a ripe peach.

"Hello, respected host Mr. Bai Xiaowen, I am Liang Zitong, senior manager of the Awakened Affairs Department Shark Livestream Platform." The beautiful Opening Gate lady on the other end introduced herself directly.

"Hello," Bai Xiaowen nodded and asked, "Where is Manager Zheng Jinyan? She used to be the one contacting me."

Liang Zitong revealed a charming smile:

"Mr. Bai, Manager Zheng is no longer in charge of the live streaming business of the Awakened Affairs Department due to personal reasons. I have taken over her duties since last week. Please rest assured that the contractual rights you signed with Shark Livestream Platform remain valid. What Manager Zheng can do, I can do better. What she cannot do, I will do my best to achieve."

"I see..." Bai Xiaowen nodded thoughtfully.

During the video call, Liang Zitong saw Bai Xiaowen's young and handsome face, resembling a movie star, and her heart fluttered. She giggled and said, "Mr. Bai, when would be a convenient time for us to meet somewhere and have a deeper discussion? You're going to be our platform's future star anchor, you know. I, a mere manager, wouldn't dare offend you..."

However, the screen went black, Liang Zitong's smartphone displayed a voice prompt: "Call ended, the other party has hung up."
