Qin Siyang froze on the spot.
Before he could react.
Li Tianming and Zhang Kuang pulled him aside.
Zhang Kuang said, "Do you have any idea what God-Hunting Artifacts cost?"
"A few hundred silver coins for tier-two God-Hunting Artifacts? Who are you trying to insult?"
Li Tianming explained, "He's a rich landlord's clueless son. He's never bought any of this stuff himself."
"No wonder."
Qin Siyang was none too pleased either. "These things cost that much?! If a few hundred silver coins won't buy two, can't I buy one?"
Li Tianming told Qin Siyang, "That Green-Patterned Armor would fetch at least two hundred silver coins or so on the Black Market. These are tier-two God-Hunting Artifacts, and they're Zhong Dingming's work. The two together would definitely cost more than one gold coin."
"At least one gold coin?!"
Qin Siyang's face scrunched up like a squash.
"How many people can afford something that expensive?! With the measly salary Pockmarked Head pays you, you'd have to save for a whole year to afford these God-Hunting Artifacts, right?"
"If even you can't afford them, how many people can?"
Li Tianming said, "I really can't."
"Exactly!"
"But the thing is, we generally don't buy them."
"You don't? Then do you punch Gods with your bare fists?"
"We technical types figure out how to develop God-Hunting Artifacts ourselves, or trade our technical resources for them. If word got out that one of us bought a God-Hunting Artifact, we'd be laughed out of the room."
"..."
"But this is what they cost on the open market."
Qin Siyang had nothing left to say.
"Then can you two get me a couple of these?"
"We definitely can't get them for you right now. If you can wait until we start our jobs, sure."
Wait until Li Tianming
