Warning
Seeing Yuewu montarily at a loss for words, Heaven's Pride imdiately beca even more pleased, letting out a disdainful sneer before shifting his gaze back to Chen Zixuan, and asked kindly:
"Little sister, how about it? She offers 120,000, I'll offer 240,000. Let's be friends, sell this piece of equipnt."
Having t her once in the Nightshade Forest, Heaven's Pride certainly knew the true identity of this black-robed girl—none other than Cecilia, who was now fad in 'Legend of Kaloran'.
At the ti when choosing sides, he had actually intended to take advantage of the situation, so he made the wrong choice for a mont and sided with Dragon Abyss.
However, after Dragon Abyss had been instantly slain by the girl with thunderous ans, Heaven's Pride had felt a deep sense of regret well up in his heart.
But given how tense things were between the two sides at the ti, it was too late even if he'd wanted to defect.
From that morning on, the mory of this matter had been like a cloud of gloom, casting a deep shadow over his heart.
Not only had he failed to gain any benefit, but he had also offended that decisive and ruthless girl, as fierce and solitary as a lone wolf—the days to co would not be easy...
Until just now, when he heard that there was a black-robed girl setting up a stall in the main city to sell equipnt, Cecilia was the first na that sprang into his mind.
Therefore, he hurried to the main city, even deliberately offering double the price, just to win the girl over and try to nd the hostile relationship between them.
Even if they could not turn from enemies to friends, at the very least, perhaps they would not interfere with each other.
As for Yuewu, his old rival—since he ran into her, a little taunt seed only natural.
This sumd up all of Heaven's Pride's inner journey over this period.
By logic, Heaven's Pride's offer was higher—a full double Yuewu's price—so from a benefit standpoint, Chen Zixuan ought to sell the equipnt to Heaven's Pride.
After all, there wasn't any deep-seated grudge between them. If he sold it to Heaven's Pride, the latter would feel at peace, and Chen Zixuan would get the money—a win-win situation for both.
Yuewu was a smart woman. She seed to realize this too, so she bit her lip, and said with difficulty, "I'll... I'll offer 250,000! Don't sell it to him!"
That price had already sowhat exceeded what she could afford.
The surrounding onlookers couldn't help but exclaim aloud when they heard that figure.
250,000 in cash, just to buy a low-level piece of in-ga equipnt—these professional online gars were really out of their minds.
Yet Heaven's Pride still looked completely unruffled, replying lightly, "My Pinnacle team offers 350,000."
The whole audience was stunned!
A blue defense item, and the bidding had actually been pushed up to the sky-high price of 350,000. No one expected that when Heaven's Pride raised the bid, he'd go straight up by 100,000!
You had to understand, this was 350,000 in real cash, not just so virtual in-ga currency.
Many people who lived in remote areas might never see that much money in an entire lifeti.
Even Chen Zixuan couldn't help being a little tempted when he heard that number.
Beside him, Gu Yanxi, after hearing the prices offered, had her mouth shaped into a perfect "O," completely stunned.
She had initially thought that such a blue-grade item, if it sold for even 5,000, would already be an outrageous price.
She never expected it could fetch so much. 350,000 was already equivalent to several years of her family's rental inco.
Moreover, from their earlier conversation, there had been hints that the stats on this item weren't even that exceptional.
If that was the case, then the staff that Cecilia was planning to give her must also be worth tens of thousands...
Realizing this, Gu Yanxi quickly shook her head—such an expensive gift was far too much, she absolutely could not accept it!
After Heaven's Pride quoted his new price, Yuewu finally ceased speaking.
She slowly lowered her head, gazing at the flagstone road beneath her feet, her eyes rimd red, her face full of unwillingness.
She could offer no more.
At this mont, in front of the crowd, Yuewu was engulfed in a sense of humiliation she'd never felt before, flooding her heart.
She was filled with hatred—hatred at Heaven's Pride for suddenly appearing, at herself for buying too many clothes, and for breaking off relations with her family.
In the past, while 350,000 had been a considerable sum, it wouldn't have forced her into such a predicant.
As she thought about it, she even began to resent Cecilia.
Damn it! Why did Cecilia have to be, just like , a girl?
If she were a man, I'd still have one last card to play...
Gazing at her own ample chest, a sudden light bulb went off in Yuewu's mind.
Wait! Isn't she into girls?!
Otherwise, why would she give such an expensive item to that fake-innocent green tea bitch?
At that thought, the gloom in Yuewu's heart seed to be pierced by a shaft of intense light. Suddenly, she felt hope.
Help up—I can keep bidding!
However, just as she was about to look up and continue the bidding war, the girl under the black robe calmly rejected Heaven's Pride, her voice void of any emotion:
"Sorry, I can't take without rit. I still feel 120,000 is the most suitable price and feels the most proper to accept."
Yuewu's lips parted for a second, dull for two seconds, before a victorious smile gradually spread across her face.
She hadn't been this happy in years.
As for Heaven's Pride, his previously complacent look froze on his face in an instant.
He opened his mouth several tis before he finally sighed and asked helplessly, "Won't you reconsider?"
"Yes, I do see your sincerity. But she ca earlier. We rchants—we value credibility above all."
The girl in the black robe smiled, picked up the old rchant's permit, and gently shook it.
After a brief silence, a round of raucous applause broke out among the crowd (not really).
"Haha, then I'll have to co earlier next ti—this ti, I'll let her have it."
A mont later, perhaps to ease the awkwardness, Heaven's Pride laughed aloud, then led his people to turn and walk toward the street's exit.
Yuewu, face blushing, rushed up, gripping Chen Zixuan's hands tightly, her expression brimming with gratitude and joy.
If Chen Zixuan had sold the equipnt to Heaven's Pride today, her team's reputation would have plumted.
Having seen the item sold, the surrounding onlookers also started to disperse.
Yet at that very mont, a series of deep, resonant chis suddenly rang out from the bell tower in the heart of the main city.
"Dong—! Dong—! Dong—! Dong—! Dong—!"
The sudden occurrence instantly quieted the previously noisy players nearby.
"What's happening?"
In that instant, many players in the main city couldn't help but wonder.
Only Chen Zixuan, his blue eyes under the black hood narrowing slightly.
This bell—he had heard it once before, upon logging into the ga for the first ti yesterday, in the newbie village of Crown Town.
It was the city's warning signal!
