Chapter 56: I, Next-door Wang Ma, Am Not Short of Money
Chapter 56: Me, Next-door Wang Ma, Flush with Cash
"No, this price is too much." The Military Dagger was startled and hurriedly spoke.
"As long as I think it’s worth it, high or low doesn’t matter." Small Knife said calmly.
"Haha!"
"That’s a good show-off; you took the words right out of my mouth." Next-door Wang Ma laughed heartily, obviously feeling displeased inside.
"Ten thousand Bone Coins." Next-door Wang Ma glanced around at everyone present and suddenly said loudly.
Immediately, there was a stir among the crowd.
This is 1.5 million Real Coins. Even Young Master Dai and Brother Low-Key wouldn’t be so reckless to buy such an insignificant game item.
But Next-door Wang Ma is different.
Being richer is a must.
More importantly, his Original Alliance is somewhat weaker in manpower strength compared to the other two alliances. This is just the right opportunity to showcase financial power, which will help attract talent and recruit experts. free𝑤ebnovel.com
After all, experts are limited; if you don’t seize them, they’re gone.
Moreover, is there any difference between such a realistic game and reality? Next-door Wang Ma is using this to establish his status as the top player.
"This is outrageous, could this be a scam?" Brother Low-Key said displeasedly.
Young Master Dai didn’t answer but nodded.
The other players were buzzing with discussion.
"Troublesome, buying something is so troublesome. I’m not interested in comparing who has more money with you; here’s ten thousand Bone Coins. The price stops here; raising it further would be over the top." Small Knife reached into his coat and pulled out a heavy Beast Hide Bag.
He threw the Bone Coin bag to the Military Dagger.
"This!" Military Dagger instinctively caught it, somewhat at a loss.
He, the Military Dagger, considered himself well-traveled, but now...!
"I was the one to offer first; you’re right, Expert Brother, there’s no point in raising the price further. We are from the same tribe; we see each other a lot."
"Hmm, I’m buying it at this price. I believe Expert Brother wouldn’t play any scams, just letting me have it." Next-door Wang Ma said sincerely, giving at least an appearance of truthfulness.
Small Knife grew impatient, waved his hand, and said, "You’re just as curious about the item’s function as I am. I’ll buy it and use it directly; everyone can see the effect together."
"Indeed, I would use it directly too; Expert Brother can see the effect while saving ten thousand Bone Coins." Next-door Wang Ma swiftly accepted the response.
"Fine, fine, I’ll let you have it for ten thousand Bone Coins, but do you have that much money?" Small Knife turned and asked with a frown.
"No, I can buy them." Next-door Wang Ma said righteously.
"Ten thousand Bone Coins, sold to you at market price! You can choose to refuse." Small Knife laughed with a tone of amusement.
"I bought it; I’ll transfer the money to you now, hmm, ten thousand Bone Coins, just 1.5 million." Not sure what he was thinking, Next-door Wang Ma declared proudly, as if truly unconcerned about this million.
Sure enough, it drew many envious and jealous glances.
"Ding, the player in front of you has transferred 1,500,000 Real Coins to you."
"Money received, let’s see what this thing does." Small Knife said directly.
"Naturally." Next-door Wang Ma strutted forward like a cocky rooster, amidst the players’ overt flattery, and picked up the piece of black bone.
He glanced at Small Knife and smiled, "Everyone likes good stuff, Brother Dao, don’t mind, hehe!"
"Cut the crap, use it." Small Knife said irritably.
"Hehe!" Next-door Wang Ma smiled proudly, squeezed the bone filled with strange patterns, and it shattered, forming black Bone Powder.
The Bone Powder emitted a black glow, rapidly spinning and condensing into a black vortex.
Everyone watched intently; the hidden top player and the legendary Immortal were naturally curious about what this 1.5 million worth of item could do.
It seemed like a vortex when everyone focused on it.
Ding: Yin Road, can be opened in forty-eight hours, remains for five days.
Upon seeing this, Small Knife turned and left.
"The pet is good, but only the three of us in the Wugubu Tribe can afford it at 1 million apiece, can’t sell a cent less." Small Knife said without looking back, provoking lots of mocking laughter behind him.
If he weren’t known as a legendary Immortal, everyone would have mocked him mercilessly.
"Got 1.5 million, not bad." Small Knife was quite satisfied, but instead of keeping the money, he transferred it directly to Er Gouzi.
Er Gouzi, now also in the game, was suddenly taken aback.
"Ding: Player Small Knife has transferred 1,500,000 Real Coins to you."
Er Gouzi was startled.
"Damn! He really trusts me. Does this guy use his pet name Small Knife in-game too?"
"Altogether 6.5 million, this is a big project; among friends, it’s not good to earn too much. I’m really meant for hard work." Er Gouzi sighed.
This deal is quite a hassle for one person, he hesitated, logged off, and contacted his comrades, all bonded by battles.
Even so, he must think it through carefully.
Small Knife headed back, hesitated a bit; there might be danger in reality now, can’t scrimp on spending, if something happens to someone, and the money’s left unspent.
So Small Knife went straight to the cave, feeling the pinch as he spent two Reputations, one for a Limit-Breaking Potion Level 15, two bottles, Ordinary Quality.
One for ten bottles of Blood Spirit Potion.
Once back, Small Knife chose the most robust and tallest hunting dog, all pitch-black, looked good.
Knowing it was the owner Brother himself that wanted it, Xiu’Er wasn’t reluctant but rather proud and happy to be of use finally.
Following Xiu’Er’s instruction, Small Knife pressed his hand on the hunting dog’s forehead.
Ding: Your Nu Xiu’Er is transferring a pet, Black King Hunting Dog, do you agree?
Tip: As you haven’t mastered Basic Beast Taming Skill, transferring will decrease loyalty by 10, with pet loyalty never exceeding 90.
Agree!
"Woo woo!" Black King looked confused at Small Knife and Xiu’Er.
"Be good! From now on, listen to Brother’s instructions." Xiu’Er whispered to Black King, caressing his head, very earnestly.
Small Knife felt a wondrous connection actually form between him and the Black King Hunting Dog.
Ding: Congratulations on acquiring a pet, Black King Hunting Dog. As the pet’s original max loyalty is 100, the former owner was your slave and had the highest favorability with you, meeting hidden conditions, this pet transfer will not reduce favorability.
This delighted Small Knife, Xiu’Er is amazing, actually achieving 100 loyalty? He quickly checked.
