In Young Master Dai's eyes, dignity was far more important than Soul Coins!
Seeing Dai Mubai's expression, Chen Feng found it somewhat amusing. "It's fine. I bought it because it has a great use."
Hearing this, Flender sneered inwardly.
Then you really are a fool with too much money!
What great use could this impurity-filled crystal possibly have?
It isn't worth anything at all. Selling it for two Gold Soul Coins would already be a huge profit!
You say it has a great use?
Isn't that an insult to me, a crooked merchant?
To Flender, being forced to sell at a loss was even more painful than being killed!
Seeing Chen Feng's calm demeanor, Dai Mubai sighed softly.
What a sucker!
Just then, a disturbance came from the entrance as a man and a woman slowly walked in.
Chen Feng turned around, and his eyes flickered.
He could not have been more familiar with the two figures entering the shop.
They're finally here!
I specifically brought Dai Mubai along today because I was waiting to arrange a meeting with you two!
At the doorway stood a boy with long black hair, dressed in fitted blue clothes. A belt embedded with twenty-four jade stones hung around his waist.
He looked utterly ordinary and unadorned.
The girl, on the other hand, was exceptionally eye-catching.
Her silky black hair was braided into a long Scorpion Braid that reached all the way to her calves.
Her Pink Short Coat tightly wrapped around her slender waist.
Her face was adorable, and paired with her large, watery eyes, she was extremely recognizable.
Even Dai Mubai, a seasoned womanizer, brightened at the sight of her.
The newcomers were none other than Tang San and Xiao Wu!
Last night, they had gone to the Rose Hotel, but after learning that there were no rooms available, they had left.
As a result, they missed their encounter with Dai Mubai.
Which was why Dai Mubai had sought out Chen Feng...
The moment Tang San entered, he stared fixedly at Chen Feng.
More precisely, at the impurity-filled crystal sphere in his hand.
Tang San's gaze froze, as though he could no longer look away.
His heartbeat began to quicken, and he could hardly believe it.
He had actually encountered a piece of Ban Jing Fa Jin here!
Among all kinds of crystals, Hair Crystal was the most precious.
When crystal was affected by its external environment, thread-like substances resembling strands of hair formed within it.
Even a single strand was priceless.
Yet this piece contained so much Hair Crystal that it had actually formed into a slab!
The finest grade of Hair Crystal!
At the sight of it, Tang San hurriedly calmed himself and asked, "Hello, may I ask... are you willing to resell this crystal?"
Chen Feng looked at him strangely and said nothing.
"I can offer a high price!" Tang San hurriedly added. "How about two hundred Gold Soul Coins?"
The moment those words came out, Dai Mubai nearly dropped his jaw.
What the hell?
I thought Chen Feng was already a fool with too much money. Who knew an even stranger one would show up!
Flender was equally stunned, wondering if his ears had gone bad.
I sold it for one hundred Gold Soul Coins, and now someone is offering two hundred?
Is there any justice left in the world?
Thinking this, Flender even felt a little jealous as he looked at Chen Feng.
What hurt more than being unable to cheat someone out of money was watching someone else make money right before his eyes!
Beside him, Xiao Wu cried out when she heard Tang San's words, "Little San, are you all right?!"
As she spoke, she reached out and touched Tang San's forehead, saying in confusion, "You don't have a fever. Why are you suddenly talking nonsense?"
Tang San smiled bitterly and shook his head. His eyes remained fixed on Chen Feng as he waited for an answer.
Seeing the urgency in his gaze, Chen Feng smiled. "Not for sale."
"The price is negotiable. If two hundred isn't enough, I'll offer five hundred Gold Soul Coins!" Tang San said through gritted teeth.
Crash! Flender fell from his reclining chair.
His heart was bleeding!
Even if you want to make a deal, can't you do it somewhere other than right in front of me, the original owner?!
How am I supposed to live with this?!
At that moment, Flender wished he could cover his ears.
Everything happening before him was simply too cruel!
Yet faced with the temptation of five hundred Gold Soul Coins, Chen Feng still shook his head. "Not even for five hundred. I'm not short on five hundred Gold Soul Coins."
"You... You have no use for that thing!" Tang San became anxious.
In his eyes, such a precious piece of Ban Jing Fa Jin would be worth tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins.
Chen Feng replied, "No, it still has its uses. Can't I just wait for it to appreciate in value?"
This left everyone present stunned.
Wasn't it just a filthy crystal?
He wanted to wait for it to appreciate in value?
What a joke. Wouldn't it depreciate instead?
What baffled them most was that one side was determined to buy it, while the other was determined not to sell!
In their eyes, it was merely a worthless crystal!
The kind that was not even worth a single Silver Soul Coin!
"Huh?" Flender suddenly looked surprised. His eyes fell on Tang San's waist as he asked, "Where did you get that belt?"
He had been too busy marveling at the Gold Soul Coins earlier, and only now noticed that familiar belt.
Tang San paused, temporarily shifting his gaze away from the crystal before turning to him. "My teacher gave it to me."
"You're actually his disciple." Flender's expression turned strange.
Then, without the slightest hesitation, he joined the "business war."
"Uh... I advise you to sell it for two hundred Gold Soul Coins." Flender looked at Chen Feng and spoke honestly. "As the owner, let me remind you: I put that crystal here to scam people. It's actually worthless."
Hearing this, Tang San's heart stirred.
Even the shop owner was speaking up for him, so there definitely could not be a problem!
If it was worthless, what was there to appreciate in value?
At that thought, excitement flashed through Tang San's eyes.
Seeing that even Flender had jumped in, Chen Feng said somewhat irritably, "Forcing a sale? This is the first time I've seen such a thing."
"So what if it isn't valuable? Can't I keep it as an ornament?"
At this moment, Dai Mubai, who had witnessed everything from the side, frowned deeply. When he looked at Tang San, there was even a trace of disdain in his eyes.
"My friend already said he doesn't want to sell it. Why do you keep forcing him?"
Dai Mubai could no longer stand it!
Although he had only met Chen Feng once, the other man's bearing and strength had earned some of his admiration.
Tang San, on the other hand, liked doing things that forced others!
The difference between them was immediately clear!
At least based on his first impression, Dai Mubai already thought rather poorly of Tang San.
If that had been all, it would have been one thing.
But Flender, the academy headmaster, had actually joined in and spoken on behalf of that Blue-clad Boy?
And thus, this absurd scene unfolded.
Seeing Dai Mubai's reaction, Flender looked surprised and hurriedly signaled to him with his eyes.
But Dai Mubai was an exceptionally proud person.
Once he had made up his mind, forget the headmaster—even his entire family could not persuade him otherwise!
Ding! Detected that Dai Mubai has developed dislike toward the Son of Destiny.
Main Quest progress: 30% Reward obtained: System Shop unlocked. One hundred Villain Points awarded!
A system notification suddenly rang out, and Chen Feng's heart stirred.
It worked!
Wasn't this chance encounter exactly why I had gone out of my way to find Dai Mubai?
After all, stealing the Son of Destiny's opportunities to make friends was also of utmost importance!
Otherwise, how could I raise the quest progress faster?
