Chapter 237 Rich
Zhou Wen ignored Li Yu and wrote the name and price on Gu Dianâs Companion Eggs before sitting behind his stall to continue gaming.
Li Yu glanced at Zhou Wenâs prices, one of the eggs was extremely expensive.
How dare you price a Gatekeeper Lion Companion Egg at 100,000? Itâs ridiculously high even for a retail price. It will be a miracle if you can sell it, thought Li Yu.
Just as he was thinking about it, another person came to the market. This time, it was a young student who looked extremely handsome, like a movie star.
When Li Yu saw this person, his eyes lit up as he went forward again. âBrother Luo Xuan, are you here to buy Companion Eggs? I recently obtained quite a number of good items...â
Luo Xuan went over to Li Yuâs stall to take a look at the Companion Eggs, but when he saw Zhou Wenâs stall, he couldnât help but take a look. He was immediately interested.
âIâll take all four of them,â Luo Xuan said as he pointed at the four Companion Eggs Zhou Wen had placed for sale.
âBrother Luo, donât just look at the name. How high are the chances of us obtaining a Companion Egg like the Broken-Winged Angel or the Ice Frost Bear?â Although Li Yu didnât say that Zhou Wenâs Companion Eggs were fake, it was obvious from his tone.
Luo Xuan smiled and said, âA person like Zhou Wen wouldnât lie on such matters.â
âEven if theyâre not fake, arenât they too expensive? If you really want them, Iâll get the company to transfer some over for you in a few days. The Ice Frost Bear is at most 100,000.â Zhou Wen had ruined his business plans, so Li Yu didnât want Zhou Wen to have an easy life.
Luo Xuan smiled at Zhou Wen and said, âZhou Wen, can your Companion Eggs be cheaper?â
âNo, theyâre worth every penny. You can buy them for 100,000 elsewhere, but thatâs the price for mine,â Zhou Wen said without looking up.
âBrother Luo, look at his attitude. Heâs clearly trying to scam you,â Li Yu said.
Luo Xuan thought nothing of it as he directly transferred the money to Zhou Wen. âAlright, Iâll take all four of them. Help me wrap them up.â
âSorry, I forgot to bring any bags. Youâll have to hold them yourself.â After receiving the payment, Zhou Wen realized that he didnât even have a plastic bag.
Li Yuâs face turned livid as he watched from the side. He thought to himself, Luo Xuan sure is silly and rich. Heâs buying those things just like that? This is really letting Zhou Wen luck out.
Luo Xuan didnât mind. He opened his backpack and stuffed the four Companion Eggs inside. Then, he looked at the Companion Eggs placed on Zhou Wenâs counter and asked in surprise, âWhy is this Gatekeeper Lion Companion Egg so expensive? The market price should be around 20,000, right?â
âThis is a Mutated Gatekeeper Lion egg. Itâs no ordinary Gatekeeper Lion,â Zhou Wen said.
âMutated Gatekeeper Lion?â Li Yu was slightly taken aback as he carefully looked at the Companion Egg, but he failed to notice anything amiss. It was identical to an ordinary Gatekeeper Lion egg. He couldnât help but sneer inwardly. Itâs true that Zhou Wen is very talented, and I admit that Iâm inferior to you, but when it comes to the appraisal of Companion Eggs, itâs my specialty. What I studied for three years wasnât for nothing. Even I canât tell the difference, but you can? What a joke.
âThis is the first time Iâve heard of a Mutated Gatekeeper Lion. What difference does it have from ordinary ones?â Luo Xuanâs interest was piqued.
Zhou Wen said, âMutated Gatekeeper Lions are quite rare. Itâs normal that you havenât heard of them. They have higher stats than the typical Gatekeeper Lion, and they have an additional Lion Roar as a skill. Itâs a relatively rare sonar wave attack. Just having this technique alone makes it worth more than 100,000.â
âI never knew that. Iâll buy it.â Luo Xuan said extravagantly as he waved his hand, wanting to transfer the money.
âBrother Luo, Iâve heard of Mutated Gatekeeper Lions, but they are very rarely produced. None of us have seen them before. However, Iâve heard that not every Mutated Gatekeeper Lion has Lion Roar so itâs still probabilistic. Without the ability of a Lion Roar, thereâs almost no difference between a Mutated Gatekeeper Lion and a normal one. No one knows if itâs really mutated.â Li Yu was speaking the truth, but he was also suspecting that Zhou Wen was selling an ordinary Gatekeeper Lion as a Mutated Gatekeeper Lion.
Luo Xuan looked at Zhou Wen who said indifferently, âI can only guarantee that this is a Mutated Gatekeeper Lion egg. I canât guarantee anything else.â
When Li Yu heard Zhou Wen say that, he immediately beamed with joy. Only a fool would buy something like that with you saying that.
âIâll buy it.â However, Luo Xuan waved his hand, causing Li Yu to be dumbfounded. His mouth was agape for a long time.
He knew that Luo Xuan was rich, but he never expected him to be so rich. He was secretly depressed. If I had known that Luo Xuan was such a fool, I would have asked for higher prices in the past.
Seeing that Luo Xuan no longer had any interest in the other Companion Eggs on Zhou Wenâs counter, Li Yu hurriedly took out the few valuable Companion Eggs he had. Although they couldnât compare to Zhou Wenâs Ice Frost Bear and the rest, they were rare ones produced at the college.
âBrother Luo, this is a rare White-Winged Red-Tail Crane. Its skill is extremely rare and it is very rarely produced. I was lucky to acquire one. I spent 98,000 on it. For you, Iâll charge you 110,000.â After witnessing Luo Xuanâs wealth, Li Yu automatically increased the price to a whole new level.
âYes, not bad.â Luo Xuan nodded slightly.
âItâs good that you like it, Brother. Do you want to pay by card or bank transfer?â Li Yu was secretly delighted.
âI only brought so much money today. Itâs all spent. Perhaps next time,â said Luo Xuan with a smile.
Li Yu was somewhat dumbfounded. He felt depressed. D*mn it, you can just swipe your card and not use your wallet. What do you mean by not bringing that much money today?
Luo Xuan ignored Li Yu and took out the Mutated Gatekeeper Lion egg. He directly injected his Primordial Energy and hatched it.
When Li Yu saw Luo Xuan doing so, he couldnât help but nod inwardly. From the looks of it, Luo Xuan isnât really silly. By hatching the Gatekeeper Lion on the spot, he will definitely settle scores with Zhou Wen once he discovers that he has been fooled. Zhou Wen canât deny it even if he wants to.
Li Yu folded his arms and waited for the development to play out. Gu Dian was the one who had brought the Gatekeeper Lion egg here. Even Gu Dian himself didnât mention anything about a Mutated Gatekeeper Lion and Li Yu couldnât tell; therefore, he refused to believe that Zhou Wen would be able to recognize a Mutated Gatekeeper Lion. He believed that Zhou Wen was likely deliberately scamming Luo Xuan in a bid to earn more.
Soon, Luo Xuan hatched the Gatekeeper Lion. A majestic stone lion appeared in front of him. Li Yu took a look and saw that it looked identical to an ordinary Gatekeeper Lion. It looked nothing like a Mutated Gatekeeper Lion.
Just as he was waiting to see Luo Xuan and Zhou Wen fall out, he suddenly heard Luo Xuan say, âItâs indeed a Mutated Gatekeeper Lion. Apart from its Speed, all its attributes are no less than 17. Lion Roar is indeed excellent. Zhou Wen, if you have such good stuff in the future, contact me directly.â
Li Yu felt as if he was dreaming as he watched with his mouth agape as Luo Xuan and Zhou Wen added each other as friends.
