Chapter 42: Dark Forest
Luo Sheng felt anger inside, but didn’t show it on his face.
He just wanted to get more information.
He continued to sit quietly, watching him.
“With enough money, even people can beco commodities. This is the era of commodity economy. My price won’t disappoint you,” Uncle Paul said casually.
He raised his hand to pick up the coffee and took a sip.
Then his strong, muscular arm swept the two cups of coffee to the side of the table.
From under the sofa, he pulled out a thick box and skillfully opened the latch.
Click.
The mont the box was opened, dozens of kilograms of bright red banknotes were displayed before Luo Sheng’s eyes, emitting the sll of ink. They were all real money.
This seed to be the source of his confidence. Uncle Paul continued to tempt him:
“If you can auction this card to , I’m willing to buy it for 5 million.
This is not a small number for you, it’s even enough to buy 5 bronze 10-star cards.
And that 【Alice】, if sold in the market, wouldn’t fetch more than 500,000. Only in our hands can it realize greater value. So, this price won’t disappoint you, right?”
Luo Sheng looked at the stacks of red banknotes, still warm from the ATM.
They were almost spilling out of the box.
If it were in the past, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to resist the temptation, but now it’s different. He could earn this much on his own.
But Luo Sheng was very puzzled:
“The mall doesn’t lack female cards, you can find ones similar to mine. This money could even enhance an ordinary female card to the top level.
Is it necessary to spend so much money to buy the card in my hand?”
Uncle Paul laughed heartily at his question.
Many people must have asked this kind of question.
He thought Luo Sheng’s question was very naive: “There are many things in this society that you can’t understand. After all, you’re still too young, you’ve seen too little of the world.
For example, do you know why people are willing to pay 10 tis the price to buy masks used by beautiful won?
Worn stockings, used underwear, can even sell for hundreds of tis the price?
Even the used diapers have beco a strange commodity, forming underground transactions. What your eyes haven’t seen isn’t necessarily false, perhaps it’s just your ignorance.
This is a crazy world.
So, don’t think the world is what you think it is.
Moreover, the market is huge. Many wealthy people spend money on these things without hesitation.”
After the black-robed uncle finished speaking, he took a sip to moisten his throat, a slight smile appearing on his face.
Luo Sheng showed an expression of disbelief. He couldn’t understand, couldn’t even imagine.
He couldn’t help but question: “Even disgusting things like used diapers can be resold?”
Obviously, he couldn’t understand this perverted behavior.
It completely overturned his worldview.
Zhou Shuren once said: Humans, after getting money, will ss around blindly.
Even such rubbish is wanted by so people. Don’t they find it disgusting?
It reminded Luo Sheng of that saying: This world is too crazy, even mice are serving as bridesmaids for cats, oh my god!
The black-robed uncle snorted and continued to appeal to his emotions and reason:
“What’s there to doubt? Many tycoons even have such collecting habits, specifically customizing collection rooms.
So nothing is non-existent.
Your vision is too narrow. Actually, it’s not incomprehensible.
Just like how other people’s children are always cute, other people’s wives are always tempting, other people’s houses are always comfortable, other people’s things are always the best. Many people think this way.
Therefore, used cards are equally attractive to them.
Your 【Alice】 is obviously this type.
A genius Card Master boy from a humble background, owning a female card that can smile, defeating a powerful young master from a wealthy family, how crazy and fascinating this is.
Just like in ancient tis, the emperor’s empress would always make people drool.
His harem concubines were the goal everyone dread of.
So, our business is to help clients acquire female cards from outstanding Card Masters, satisfying their habits and desires.”
Uncle Paul spoke of this strange trade righteously, without sha.
Luo Sheng suddenly rembered the gossip news at the very beginning, about a certain celebrity being seriously injured while inserting a card and being hospitalized.
Combining with what happened today, he vaguely had a guess.
There existed a huge and dark chain of interests.
He then stood up, “Sorry, this deal can’t be made. Alice is not a commodity, she’s my partner, priceless. No matter how much money, I won’t sell.”
Uncle Paul looked up at him.
The originally kind smile beca inscrutable, mixed with anger, mockery, an evil grin, and a faint killing intent.
But it quickly returned to normal.
His attitude softened slightly: “It’s okay, this happens often, we’re used to it. Hope to cooperate more in the future, and wish you safety.”
Uncle Paul picked up the coffee and started drinking.
However, when he spoke, he didn’t even look up, completely insincere, as if talking to himself.
While Xia Xingri stared at him excitedly.
That smile carried a faint evilness, as if looking at prey.
“We’ll et again. I hope next ti, you can cooperate with us happily.”
Luo Sheng didn’t answer.
One hand in his pocket, tightly gripping the cha card.
It wasn’t until he left the coffee room that he finally let out a sigh of relief.
But it wasn’t ti to completely relax yet.
The first thing Luo Sheng did was enter the Card Tower, pretending to wander inside, but actually observing if anyone was following him.
And he spent 500,000 to buy another bronze 8-star 【Holy Light Technique】 as a backup trump card.
Its healing effect was over 30% more than the bronze 7-star, able to instantly revive himself to full health.
Then adding two 100,000 【Ice Shield】 material cards, Luo Sheng planned to enhance his shield card. These were all life-saving items.
He also browsed on his phone about content and news related to card collecting organizations.
And sent a text ssage to Su Tianchen, informing him of today’s situation.
The other party also called: “Co to school quickly, you’re still safe in the city for now.”
So, Luo Sheng summoned his motorcycle and imdiately headed to school without a word, stepping on the gas pedal to the floor.
