Chapter 5: The Waves Set Off By A Single Golden Silk Blood Eel! (2/2)

”50,000 yuan, and it’s a fixed price.” Bei Feng did not even raise his head as he continued to play the game on his mobile phone.

”What?! 50,000? Wow...did you go insane after dreaming about money too much? You want 50,000 yuan for a stupid eel?!” The fatty seemed like a cat with its tail stepped on. At that moment, all his hair bristled as he shouted with agitation.

The three people that came with the fatty were similarly shocked.

Initially, this group of four thought that the people here were simple and honest. However, it turned out that they were also tarred with the same brush as the cityfolk!

”You don’t have to buy it if you find it too expensive. Just don’t stand there and disrupt my business,” Bei Feng told the group calmly as he scrunched his eyebrows slightly, finally taking his eyes away from his mobile phone.

”Hey, is this eel made from gold? 50,000? Even if you wanted to sell it to me for 500 yuan, I would still find it expensive!” The furious fatty pointed at the Golden Silk Blood Eel as he retorted.

”Are you done? If so, please leave,” Bei Feng remained unperturbed. As the saying went, fragrant wine required no promotion. Even if it were to be hidden deep within a valley full of wine, there would still be people capable of sniffing it out. He refused to believe that there wasn’t anyone capable of recognizing the Golden Silk Blood Eel here .

”You want to sell it for 50,000 yuan, right? Fine, I will help you promote your stupid eel! We’ll see who will buy it from you!” The fatty had nowhere to vent his anger. Without waiting for Bei Feng’s reply, he sucked in a deep breath and shouted at the top of his lungs, ”come, come and take a look, everyone! There’s an eel here that’s priced at 50,000 yuan! What an obvious scam!”

”What? An asking price of 50,000 yuan for an eel? Does it help one gain eternal life after eating it?”

”Let’s go and take a look. We can’t let this kind of black sheep spoil the good name of our marketplace!”

The fatty’s shouting had achieved surprising results. Within a very short period of time, a large crowd had formed in front of Bei Feng’s stall...

”Look! This is the eel worth 50,000 yuan! Today, I can be considered to have broadened my horizons! In the future, I can boast to my friends that I have once laid eyes upon an eel worth 50,000 yuan!” The fatty looked at the crowd as he shouted with a complacent expression on his face.

”This kind of person, he must have gone insane dreaming of striking it rich!” Some people in the crowd wagged their fingers at Bei Feng as they denounced him.

”Old Liu, i think there’s something strange about this eel. It seems to be a…”

”A Golden Silk Blood Eel!”

There were two middle-aged locals amongst the crowd. Initially, they wanted to come and see who it was that dared to tarnish the good name of the village with some ridiculous pricing. However, their attention was quickly drawn to the eel in the basin instead.

Nan Ming sounded a little uncertain at first. However, Liu Chang Gui confirmed it immediately!

”I never thought a day would come when I can lay my eyes upon a Golden Silk Blood Eel again! I thought they went extinct long ago!” Liu Chang Gui became a little emotional.

”En, if it’s a Golden Silk Blood Eel, 50,000 yuan for one as big as this is not expensive at all!”

Nan Ming nodded his head in agreement.

The two of them had experienced the ”Golden Silk Blood Eel period”. At that time, making money had never been easier. It was as simple as picking money off the ground!

The best example was the last Golden Silk Blood Eel, which appeared more than ten years ago. It was sold for 8,000 yuan despite weighing only around three taels!

One must understand that, at that time, 8,000 yuan were worth a lot more than the current 8,000 yuan! And the Golden Silk Blood Eel swimming lazily in the basin right now weighed one catty, at the very least!

”Everyone, it’s not that we want to swindle you. However, this Golden Silk Blood Eel is truly worth that price!” Liu Chang Gui walked out in front and explained. At the same time, he looked at the Golden Silk Blood Eel in the basin as though he was looking at some rare treasure.

”Che, it’s valuable just because you say it is? What Golden Silk Blood Eel?” A skeptical voice sounded out from the crowd.

”That’s right, I’ve lived for so long and I’ve never heard of any eel that expensive!” Another voice called out from among the crowd.

”Everyone, this is a special local product of our village. During the eras of Ming and Qing dynasties, this eel was considered a treasure to be exclusively enjoyed by the royal family. Unfortunately, it had disappeared more than ten years ago!” Nan Ming hurriedly explained.

”Golden Silk Blood Eel?!”

A middle-aged man anchored his footsteps upon hearing these four words. Turning around, he hurried in the direction of the crowd.

ED/N: By the way, there’s absolutely no mention of MC dealing with his wounds, both me and TL checked it several times… seems like it was just a scratch… I mention it here to avoid a spoiler which it may become if someone were to see this note before finishing the 4th chapter.
