Chapter 350: I Don’t Mind Playing With You
Walking into the city, Chen Chen felt the dense spiritual energy, but it was only about the same level as that of Mount Wufeng in the lower realm.
Clearly, the Sandstorm City belonged to the border of the upper realm. Otherwise, the upper realm would seem too lame.
There were seven or eight cultivators on the street nearby, most of whom were fancy foreigners. Their cultivation levels ranged from the Foundation Establishment realm to the Nascent Soul realm.
Chen Chen silently observed, his heart full of curiosity about stepping into a new world.
“System, where is the most handsome person within a thousand-meter radius?”
“According to the aesthetics of the human race, the host is the most handsome. According to the aesthetics of the blue-bloods, the person a hundred meters in front of the host is the most good-looking… According to the aesthetics of the red-flame race…”
The system’s answer lasted for a long time and Chen Chen did a rough calculation, only to realize that there were more than twenty races.
Among them, there were thirteen who felt that he was the most handsome. Strictly speaking, there were no problems in mainstream aesthetics.
Chen Chen sighed with relief.
At this moment, Huang Li seemed to have returned home as she greeted all the cultivators she met. They would also answer her enthusiastically.
“Chen Chen, let’s go to a place first, then I’ll arrange a place for you to stay!”
After walking through the street, Huang Li changed his direction and said mysteriously.
Chen Chen was unfamiliar with the place, so he didn’t have much of an opinion. He just followed her and carefully absorbed the spiritual energy in the air.
Although the Sandstorm City wasn’t small, the spiritual energy in the city was considered rich, but he would probably be able to suck the city dry in no time.
Soon…
Huang Li led him into a rather luxurious store.
“Uncle De, I came back alive!”
As soon as he entered, Huang Li exclaimed merrily.
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged gray-skinned foreigner who seemed rather stumpy, but his eyes were full of the shrewdness of a businessman. Upon seeing Huang Li, he was first overjoyed, but that emotion quickly faded away without a trace, and his tone was rather perfunctory.
“Good, that you’re back, good that you’re back…”
Huang Li did not sense that anything was unusual and instead, just took out a storage ring from her pocket and said, “Uncle De, the goods I brought back from the Black Storm City 60,000 kilometers away are fine products that we don’t have in Sandstorm City. Look, how many Spirit Stones are they worth?”
The gray-skinned foreigner took a look at the storage ring, and his eyes lit up. He then sighed and said, “These things may be precious, but there aren’t many people in Sandstorm City who need them. Fifty thousand mid-stage Spirit Stones is as much as I’m going to give.”
Huang Li was shocked to hear this and he said, “Only worth 50,000? I spent 47,000 Spirit Stones in Blackstorm City to buy it back…”
“My niece, I gave you this price, only because your family is a regular customer of mine. Just be content. If you go to the other stores, they’ll charge you at least 48,000 Spirit Stones.”
The gray-skinned man of another race laughed.
Huang Li staggered backward by a step as if she had suffered a great blow.
Well…she originally thought she could help her family rise again by selling it at a price that was several times that of the original, but she ended up earning only 3,000 middle-grade Spirit Stones.
‘That doesn’t make sense… Father and the rest managed to sell it at twice the price.’
Thinking of this, she looked at the gray-skinned man
and murmured, “Uncle De… this is impossible, I think those Essence Soul realm cultivators would definitely snatch these things as soon as they can.”
The gray-skinned man said in annoyance, and his tone became colder too.
“What do you mean you think? Niece, I don’t want to hear your opinion. Do you think I know less about the market than a newcomer like you?”
“But…”
Before Huang Li could finish questioning, the gray-skinned man gently patted her shoulder and said in an earnest tone, “My niece, hear me out, after you sell these things to me, find a powerful cultivator and become his Dao partner. Stop living this life of running around all day, I’m doing this for your sake too. Back then…”
The gray-skinned man began to talk freely about the past, and soon Huang Li started crying.
The deal was about to be closed, but a long and strong hand held the storage ring at this juncture.
When the gray-skinned man saw this scene, he felt as if his life had been seized, and he could no longer continue speaking.
Chen Chen looked at the storage ring in his hand with a gaze of surprise.
The structure of this storage ring was different from that of the mortal world. The space within it was much more stable than the storage ring in the mortal realm.
This kind of storage ring is absolutely not available in the mortal realm.
Similarly, a storage ring from the mortal world brought to the upper world would probably lose its storage function because the space in the two worlds was different.
At this moment, he finally understood why his storage ring was lost.
At the end of the day, he had ascended too suddenly, and he hadn’t prepared many of the things, so he didn’t have a good understanding of the upper realm yet.
Seeing that Uncle De and Huang Li were both looking at him in surprise, Chen Chen gave the storage ring to Huang Li and said with a smile, “I think you should check the market price before you give your price.”
The gray-skinned man got anxious after hearing his words, and the somber ambiance he had just created was instantly destroyed as he barked angrily, “Where did you come from, kid? Who are you to decide for my niece? Besides, let me tell you, once this thing leaves my store, it basically can’t be sold anywhere else!”
Chen Chen smiled and said, “There are unpredictable variables in everything. You can’t be that certain.”
The gray-skinned man was rendered speechless, and before he could speak, Chen Chen said again, I think it’s hard to sell. I don’t think it’s a problem.”
“You…you…”
The gray-skinned man was exasperated. Having been a shopkeeper for so many years, he had never seen anyone more domineering than him!
He was the shopkeeper! An esteemed figure in Sandstorm City!
Seeing how concerned Uncle De was about the things in that storage ring, Huang Li instantly understood something, and her sadness slowly disappeared. Instead, it was replaced with anger.
He didn’t expect that after the family’s decline, even the partners who used to have a good relationship with their family would think of taking advantage of her.
The people of this world are so unfeeling…
“Niece, you were the one who brought him here. Tell him off!”
The gray-skinned man looked at Huang Li.
Huang Li was discouraged and did not reply. Instead, she turned around and left the store.
Seeing this scene, the gray-skinned man immediately tried to chase him, but he was intentionally stopped by Chen Chen.
“Kid, who the hell are you? Do you know that cutting off someone’s livelihood is akin to killing their parents?”
The gray-skinned man looked at Chen Chen with an icy cold gaze and questioned in a chilly tone.
“I just entered Sandstorm City, and I understand the laws of life, but do you know that you should not do unto others what you don’t want to be done unto you?”
Chen Chen’s tone was calm.
Hearing that Chen Chen was an outsider, the gray-skinned man’s expression instantly became unbridled.
He said coldly, “Let me tell you two things. First, I’m not someone you can afford to mess with, and second, I hope you hurry out and persuade her to come back.”
Chen Chen had a gaze of amazement. ‘This foreigner has gotten addicted to being a domineering CEO, huh…’
Seeing that Chen Chen wasn’t saying anything, the gray-skinned man said again, “I do not like to waste my time talking about nonsense with others. If you think you have what it takes to play with me, I don’t mind entertaining you till the end.”
Chen Chen asked, “Seriously?”
“Hah, I will let you understand that I, Wu De, have always been a man of my word. Don’t make me send someone to look for you at midnight. Let me tell you, I’ve been waiting in Sandstorm City for a hundred years, but there are a hundred reasons for me to make sure that you can’t stay in this place any longer. And there’s nothing you can do.”
‘Oh, damn it, this is a talent! He’s so eloquent.’
Chen Chen was emotional and shocked. At the same time, he patted his chest and exclaimed, “I was really frightened!”
Seeing that Chen Chen was not impressed, Wu De sneered.
“I really enjoy striking at those who think they have outstanding abilities. I advise you to hurry up now to persuade her to come back. Do you understand?”
“Of course, you can continue to do as you please, but your next days will not be too comfortable. Remember, my name is Wu De! If you don’t know how to behave, I don’t mind playing with you!”
