Opening for business!
Chen Hao’s eyes lit up instantly as he quietly mulled over what was an appropriate price to quote.
Chen Hao was merely fantasizing about exchanging magical artifacts for a luxury car. He wasn’t so greedy.
It was a cheapskate item that only cost him under a hundred yuan. All he did was bless it. Furthermore, it had a limited lifespan of two to three years. It was not appropriate for him to quote her thousand to ten thousand times the amount he paid for. If it was of the Treasure Aura grade or even Spirit Aura grade, Chen Hao dared to demand an exorbitant price. But since it was only of the Dharmic Aura grade, he’d better quote a fair price.
Chen Hao glanced at Bai Ru and said in a small voice, “One jade Buddha for ten thousand yuan. No bargaining.”
Bai Ru was originally waiting to mock Chen Hao, but when she heard this she was speechless.
He’s only asking for ten thousand yuan? Are you sure this is really a magical artifact? Can it really fend off ghosts and protect me?
Seeing Bai Ru remain silent, Chen Hao thought that he had quoted too high a price. But since he already said it, he couldn’t very well lower his price—that would cheapen his blessed magical artifacts.
Chen Hao hurriedly said, “I’m only selling it to you cheaply on account of the fact that you have helped me earlier. If you’re unwilling, then forget about it. I won’t force it upon you.”
“I’ll take it. Give it to me.” Bai Ru decisively agreed.
Chen Hao was taken aback. She’s really taking it? Did I quote too low a price? She totally sounds and looks like she doesn’t care!
Indeed, I don’t understand a rich man’s world.
“Deal. You give me the money. I’ll hand you the good.”
Right away, Bai Ru and Chen Hao added each other on WeChat and she directly transferred him ten thousand yuan.
Seeing cold, hard cash land in his account, Chen Hao handed Bai Ru a jade Buddha, feeling overjoyed.
One magical artifact for ten thousand yuan. Ten magical artifacts would fetch one hundred thousand yuan. Add to that fengshui magical artifacts like the God of Fortune that had an even higher value, he could easily earn two to three years’ worth of wages!
Eh… wait a minute. He had tossed one into the water earlier. That was ten thousand yuan gone.
Chen Hao’s heart ached.
One had to start working to understand the value of money. Throwing ten thousand yuan into the water was too wasteful. He silently resolved never to do such a silly thing again.
Chen Hao was overjoyed at having made the sale, while Bai Ru fidgeted with the jade Buddha.
Like that jade Guanyin she saw earlier, one glance and you could tell it was a cheapskate item. But its warm and gentle glow was truly more mesmerizing than even real jade.
Most importantly, with the jade Buddha in her hands, she felt at ease knowing that even if a ferocious ghost were to appear, it wouldn’t be able to come near her.
This feeling made Bai Ru understand that this thing should be a genuine magical artifact, something that had a magical effect mere mortals wouldn’t be able to understand.
Bai Ru now gazed at Chen Hao with amazement in her eyes.
Although according to the information she obtained, she had deduced this was a truly capable master. Bai Ru didn’t let down her guard. If Chen Hao wasn’t able to help Shuanglong Group solve the Stream Mountain construction site issue, he would be following in the footsteps of those fake masters who were invited to the police station and begging for mercy.
And now, Bai Ru had even greater confidence in Chen Hao.
This guy will certainly help me fulfill my dream.
