Seeing Qin Siyang give up on asking for any further terms outright, Chu Xiaoang did not know what to say.
He should have been happy.
But Qin Siyang had only given up after spending ages asking whether he had all sorts of materials.
It left Chu Xiaoang feeling rather like a beggar.
Qin Siyang's words sounded like: "All right, I get it, you don't have anything good. Let's leave it at that. I'll just give it to you, okay?"
Qin Siyang unlocked the Special Lock on the Storage Box and placed it in front of Chu Xiaoang.
Then he said, sounding rather bored:
"Commander Chu, here you go. Everything's inside. You can check it. Sorry for the trouble with the points."
After Qin Siyang said that, Chu Xiaoang felt even more like a beggar.
Chu Xiaoang stared at the open Storage Box, remaining silent for a long while.
An intense sense of shame welled up in his heart.
It would have felt better to just rob him outright!
But he's already given me everything. What's left to rob?
Chu Xiaoang picked up the Storage Box and inspected its contents.
Only then did he slowly say, "Thank you, then, Xiao Qin."
With that, he was about to put the Storage Box away.
Qin Siyang hesitated before saying, "Commander Chu, this Storage Box costs seventy or eighty silver coins to make, too. I'm not asking you for a single cent. Surely you can't expect me to pay out of pocket on top of that?"
Chu Xiaoang's hand trembled.
Being chased down by a kid over something worth a few dozen silver coins was an utter humiliation!
But he could not lose his temper.
Qin Siyang had essentially given him lifesaving materials for free. What else could he say? He could hardly repay
