Chapter 550: Chapter 196: Lu Ziye (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_3
“Is this a junk sale?”
And did he just happen to run into his own kind, the junk collector?
With this thought, Lin Su picked up the topmost sheepskin scroll with a curious expression.
After only a glance, he wore the expression of “subway, elderly, smartphone.”
A first-grade martial arts technique…
One that even he, the junk collector, didn’t want.
...
“Um, one grade is actually not enough.” The chubby stall owner noticed Lin Su’s expression and couldn’t keep face, clearing his throat, “There are more of the second and third grades in here, why don’t you pick so?”
“You tell the price first.” Lin Su took a deep breath.
“Oh right right right, the price!” The chubby stall owner snapped to realization, clapping his hands, “First grade just costs one Mixed Elent Stone, second grade ten Mixed Elent Stones, third grade twenty, fourth grade a hundred, fifth grade two hundred, and sixth grade five hundred.”
Then he rubbed his hands together with a grin, making a “nine” sign with his fingers, “If the total exceeds two thousand, we’ll take 10 percent off!”
Okay, he has quite a business mind.
Lin Su gave the chubby stall owner a thumbs up and started searching through the pile.
At these prices, it was really a clearance sale.
He quickly went through the entire pile of martial arts techniques.
It had to be said that this pile of techniques wasn’t that great.
Nearly half of the techniques were ones he already possessed.
So after quite a while, he had only picked out just over fifty.
“I’ll take these.” Lin Su patted the dust off his hands, “How much?”
“Let’s round it down, exactly three thousand Mixed Elent Stones.” The chubby stall owner excitedly rubbed his hands together, “Just give two thousand seven hundred!”
“Alright.” Lin Su took out enough Mixed Elent Stones from his Space Ring and handed them over, then started to store the chosen martial arts techniques into his Space Ring.
After all this, while the other party was counting the Mixed Elent Stones, he flipped through the last few martial arts techniques in the pile and casually glanced over them.
“Huh?” Lin Su suddenly let out a surprised sound.
The very last scroll of martial arts techniques at the bottom of the pile, when opened, seed to have sothing fall out of it.
Lin Su only managed to see that it was a smaller sheepskin scroll, before a chubby hand swooped in with the swiftness of lightning, snatching it away.
“Hehe sorry about that, this one isn’t for sale!” The chubby stall owner instantly tensed up, as if very worried that Lin Su saw what was on that sheepskin scroll, “Don’t look at it, this really isn’t for sale!”
The expression on Lin Su’s face suddenly beca a little more interesting.
The chubby stall owner kept repeating “not for sale,” but instead of putting the scroll back into his Space Ring, he just held it tightly to his chest, showing no intention of putting it away.
And as he held the scroll to his chest like a rare treasure, the words “Land of Rules” on the sheepskin parchnt peeped out, clearly visible to Lin Su’s eyes.
Everything that needed to be seen was seen.
Lin Su looked deeply at the chubby stall owner.
From the owner’s nervous expression, Lin Su only read “swindler.”
“Enough with the act!” Lin Su couldn’t help but roll his eyes, “What’s this thing, and how much are you selling it for?”
“This…” The chubby stall owner’s fleshy face contorted painfully, his eyebrows twisting into an inverted “eight,” his expression dramatically showing conflict, then he took a deep breath, “This treasure is sothing I obtained by spending all of my family’s wealth, it’s an inheritance from my ancestors!”
“If it’s an inheritance from your ancestors, why would you have to spend all your family’s wealth…” Lin Su massaged his temples harshly, “Can you make up sothing more believable? Otherwise, I feel like you’re insulting .”
“There will be an extra charge!” The chubby stall owner’s expression was that of sorrow and determination.
“Fine fine fine, extra charge, but you could at least tell what this is…” Lin Su rolled his eyes again.
“Oh right, I almost forgot.” The stall owner’s expression returned to normal instantly, he coughed lightly, looked around cautiously and then leaned in, “Actually, this is the coordinate for a ‘Land of Ice Rules’.”
Lin Su: “…”
I get it all, but why do you lean in so mysteriously only to say it out loud?
Almost at the mont the words fell, a group of people had surrounded Lin Su from behind.
“This map…” the fat stall owner bit his teeth, looking at the crowd that had gathered, “If I were not truly impoverished, I would never have brought it out to sell!”
“Cut the crap, is this map real or not?!” A man behind Lin Su quickly spoke up, asking anxiously.
“Of course, it’s real!” the fat stall owner glared, “Go and ask around, I, Lu Ziye, am known as the ‘Honest Young Lad’ in Minghan City, never uttering a half-truth! A man of my word to both young and old!”
“I’ll take this map for one thousand Mixed Elent Stones!” the man quickly said.
“One thousand Mixed Elent Stones…” Lu Ziye’s eyes road, “Is there a higher offer? This is a place of rules, and if one enters, it’s a genuine opportunity for fortune!”
“One thousand is too low, I offer two thousand!” Another person quickly spoke up.
“Then I offer two thousand five hundred!”
“…”
Lin Su remained silent, looking at the crowd fervently bidding up the price, unable to stop a black line from appearing on his face.
“This friend offers ten thousand, is there anyone who’ll go higher?” shouted Lu Ziye, waving the sheepskin scroll in his hand, “If not, then it goes to this friend here!”
“Mine, it’s mine!” The one who shouted an offer of ten thousand quickly took out the money, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, snatched the sheepskin scroll before leaving with a smug look.
The others loudly expressed their regret and swiftly departed.
At the stall, only Lin Su was left.
Lu Ziye winked at Lin Su, and like a magician, pulled out another identical sheepskin scroll from the Space Ring, “Brother, you saw it yourself, this map is worth ten thousand Mixed Elent Stones, want to buy it?”
Lin Su: “…”
This guy is nad Lu Ziye, right?
His tactics are truly wild!
“Those shills you hired just now, how much did you pay them?” Lin Su asked with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
“Not much, just… uh…” Lu Ziye instinctively started to reply, then abruptly his face twitched, and he spoke dejectedly, “Brother, you have keen eyes.”
Lin Su shook his head, “This map of yours, is it really real?”
Normally, he would have probably turned around and left.
But this was a place of ice rules.
If it was real, then it would be just right for Qiuqiu.
So he decided to take another look.
“This map is real,” Lu Ziye cleared his throat lightly, his expression earnest.
“Then why aren’t you going? Why sell it?” Lin Su’s eyes held a trace of skepticism.
“I’m not of the ice attribute!” Lu Ziye gathered his energy in his hand, and a ball of fla blazed fiercely, “See, I’m of the fire attribute.”
“Five thousand, I’ll take it,” Lin Su raised an eyebrow.
Five thousand Mixed Elent Stones—if he was conned, he wouldn’t be too heartbroken.
After all, he had stolen them.
If it really was real, then he’d make a huge profit.
“Deal!” said Lu Ziye, without hesitation passing the sheepskin scroll to Lin Su.
Lin Su: “…”
He couldn’t help feeling like this money was about to go down the drain…
The mont he handed over the five thousand Mixed Elent Stones to Lu Ziye, he felt like he was the ultimate sucker.
As Lu Ziye quickly counted the Mixed Elent Stones and took possession of them, a smile blood on his face.
“Fellow Brother, I feel a connection between us, so let give you piece of information for free.” He quickly stowed the Mixed Elent Stones into the Space Ring, then began speaking in a lower voice, “This ice rule place has nine keys scattered across the battlefield of geniuses. You need to obtain a key to enter.”
Lin Su: “…”
