Chapter 1178
1178 Trade and appraisal
Due to the special effect of the liquid of rebirth, Tang Zhen did not want to miss it easily. His only purpose in purchasing the liquid of rebirth was to hope that it would be of some help to the mother tree.
The Holy Dragon City, which was sealed when it was about to be destroyed, was a thorn in Tang Zhen’s heart. The mother tree, who had paid the price of her life to protect the Holy Dragon City, made Tang Zhen feel a trace of guilt in his heart.
Although the mother tree usually had a proud appearance and did not pay attention to the city Lord, when the Holy Dragon City was in danger of being destroyed, the mother tree did not hesitate to step forward and fight for precious time for Tang Zhen’s arrival at the cost of overdrawing its life force!
The mother tree’s actions were beyond Tang Zhen’s expectations, but it was also reasonable. Perhaps she cared more about the Holy Dragon City that was covered by her branches and leaves than Tang Zhen!
Every time he saw the withered and broken mother tree in the photos, as well as the figures of the Holy Dragon City cultivators who were covered in blood and falling from the sky, Tang Zhen would feel a trace of heartache and a faint sense of self-blame.
Regardless of whether it was the mother tree or the residents who died protecting the Holy Dragon City, Tang Zhen felt that he owed them. As the city Lord whom they trusted unconditionally, he was unable to help them resist the enemy’s invasion at the most dangerous time of the city. This in itself was a dereliction of duty.
Although the entire incident was caused by the Trebor tribe’s plot, Tang Zhen still believed that he had neglected his defense. If Holy Dragon City was equipped with powerful defensive weapons, then no matter how strong the Trebor tribe was, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.
Moreover, not only were there powerful surface-to-air missiles in the Holy Dragon City, but there were also weapons dismantled from the torobo people’s battleships. However, due to the high energy consumption and Tang Zhen only locking the enemy on the towers in the wilderness Warzone, they had never been installed and tested!
After this painful lesson, Tang Zhen had made up his mind to transform the Holy Dragon city’s surroundings into an impregnable fortress. If the torobo people came again, Tang Zhen would definitely make sure that they would not be able to return!
Tang Zhen looked at the jellyfish shop owner, who had already completely changed his expression, and said with a smile,”In my hometown, this is how you negotiate the price, but this doesn’t mean that I’m not sincere.
Why don’t we do it this way? you can state an acceptable price, and if I think it’s worth it, I’ll buy it. If I think it’s not worth it, I’ll leave. How about it?”
When the jellyfish owner heard Tang Zhen’s words, the pink color on his body began to fade. He waved his tentacles that were floating in the air and entangled them together from time to time. It seemed that this was his habit of thinking.
After nearly half a minute, the shop owner finally looked at Tang Zhen. His pair of fist-sized eyes flickered with traces of lightning.
“To be honest, I find it hard to accept such a way of bargaining. But if you really want to buy it, then pay me 90 coins. I won’t accept even one less!”
Seeing the jellyfish shop owner’s determined look, Tang Zhen also nodded, indicating that he could accept the price.
“However, I don’t have enough coins right now. It would be great if you could accept the barter!”
Hearing Tang Zhen’s words, the jellyfish shop owner was stunned again, but he quickly nodded.
In the myriad world mall, as long as it was a valuable item, it could find the right buyer. At the right time, it could even be sold for a price far higher than the value of the item!
However, when using this method of trading, the merchant had to have enough knowledge and insight, otherwise, it was easy to suffer losses in the transaction.
After seeing that the jellyfish shop owner agreed to the barter, Tang Zhen waved his hand and more than a dozen items appeared in the area between the two of them. Each of them exuded an extraordinary aura.
These were all the items that he had accumulated on a daily basis. The purpose of taking them out at this time was to first pay for the liquid of rebirth, and then to see how much they were worth in the myriad world mall.
The jellyfish shop owner wasn’t in a hurry to look at the floating items. Instead, he glanced at the storage ring on Tang Zhen’s finger. Electric sparks flickered in his eyes.
if you’re willing, you can use your own storage equipment to pay. Of course, I’ll pay you with coins or special liquids for the excess!
Tang Zhen’s eyes flickered, but he said to the jellyfish shop owner, let’s take a look at the price of these items first. I hope to pay with them. If you’re interested in storage equipment, we can talk about it in private.
alright, let me take a look. I hope there’s something that I’m satisfied with!
As the jellyfish shop owner spoke, his tentacles reached out and brushed over the items one by one, as if trying to distinguish their origins and value.
While carefully distinguishing, it also told Tang Zhen the results of its appraisal.
“This should be an energy crystal from the body of some kind of monster. It will only appear in worlds with special environments. Although this thing is rare, it is really not worth much in the myriad world mall!
Of course, if you give me enough, like a few million, I can consider selling the liquid of rebirth to you!”
The jellyfish shop owner shook his head, moved his tentacles away from one of the heads, and turned his attention to the next item. However, he didn’t notice the trace of joy that flashed across Tang Zhen’s face.
Tang Zhen had once learned the price of the origin stone from the caravan of the ten thousand treasures building. Even if it was a low-grade one, it would still cost one million brain beads. According to the price given by the jellyfish shopkeeper, he only needed to pay a maximum of ten low-grade origin stones to buy the liquid of rebirth!
The difference between the brain beads of the two worlds was more than ten times. As long as he had enough brain beads, he could exchange them for a large amount of coins, which was definitely much more cost-effective than the transaction in the myriad Treasure Tower!
It was a pity that Tang Zhen had brought too few brain beads with him this time around. Otherwise, he might really be able to take the opportunity to earn a sum!
While Tang Zhen was thinking, the jellyfish shop owner slowly opened his mouth and gave the appraisal information of the second item.
“These sand-like objects look very ordinary, but they also have special powers and terrifying poisons. If I’m not wrong, those spirit-type races should need them!
If there’s a powerful pharmacist to purify and mix them, they can also produce expensive potions. As a rare raw material, its price should be very high. The quantity you take out should be enough to pay for the goods!
If you have more of these items, you can choose to sell them to me. I’m sure the price will satisfy you!”
The jellyfish shop owner was clearly very satisfied with the out of body sand made by the soul-gnawing beast. When he turned his head to look at Tang Zhen, his eyes carried a trace of anticipation.
At this time, the jellyfish shop owner had already confirmed that this was the first time the human cultivator in front of him had come to the myriad world mall. Otherwise, he would have sold the items first and then used the mall coins to trade with him!
Although it was said that ‘there are no unscrupulous businessmen’, how many cultivators were easy to deceive? not to mention, as the owner of these items, Tang Zhen must have some understanding of the value of these items and had the right to decide whether to carry out the transaction.
Once he tried to fool Tang Zhen, he would not be able to get anything in the end!
Therefore, from the beginning, the jellyfish shop owner decided to make an honest deal. In this way, even if he would earn less in the end, it was still better than nothing!
