Chapter 570 - A Pie That Fell from the Sky (1/2)

Gu Buwei was observing silently as all this was transpiring.

The tan middle-aged man could see through all the deception involved. With his wisdom, it was a relatively common occurrence.

It was just like some of the conmen among humans. They would sell rare pets at a high price and somehow make their pets run back to them…

It was a world of thousands upon thousands of mysteries, and this was one of the simplest types.

Seeing the bulk of the Dragon Clan’s Honey-flavored Pills, even Gu Buwei who was indifferent to the secular wonders was tempted.

These pills were able to directly increase the strength of a spirit!

If it were at the Azure Mountain, the disciples would definitely scheme against each other, playing out a real-life political TV series, and that was the norm.

Everyone knew that even though Vigilante A was greedy, he would never lie or water down his products. If he could bring out these pills, every single one of it would be of the highest quality.

The trick it was employing might have worked on someone else, but would it work on Vigilante A?

Gu Buwei shook his head silently. Vigilante A’s strength was thousandfold than that of the cunning rat demon.

Tricking him would prove to be a difficult task…

At that thought, Gu Buwei looked up into the sky subconsciously. Unfortunately, it was a clear sky with no sign of clouds so he could not divine any fortunes… probably not very favorable.

…

At that moment, in the System Space.

“Hm? Why is this trade so easy? It must be because my pills are so good that it was famous everywhere that the rat is willing to exchange. Hah! I should ask Butler Zheng to double the price, no triple it!” exclaimed the System.

“Aren’t you just plain dumb? He obviously wanted to trick you…” Fang Ning said in exasperation.

“What? There are still people who would try to trick me?” yelped the System in disbelief.

“That’s right. He just wanted to summon the monument back to him after the exchange. And he’s not stupid, he would never admit to reclaiming it and would only say that you lost it,” explained Fang Ning.

“Goddammit, can people trust each other anymore? So many tricks up their sleeves. However, he will not get his wish. What could escape after entering my System Space?” The System said indignantly.

“Mm, that’s why he’s only wasting its time, and his avarice will be his downfall.” Fang Ning sighed.

“Since it doesn’t matter if you reminded me, I wouldn’t be tricked, so this time, you’re not gonna get the merit you want.” The System stated flatly.

“I’ve said nothing about wanting to be credited, can you stop judging me based on my behavior last year?” Fang Ning said desperately, “Would I still care about that little merit you give out? Doesn’t matter if you give me a break in the future, I will be able to go out myself.”

“Hm? What are you trying to do?” The System set the trade aside and asked.

“Heh, I won’t tell you. You only need to know that you don’t have to worry about my safety in the future,” gloated Fang Ning.

“I’ll find out sooner or later anyway. From now on, I will open a thread to keep an eye on your every move,” said the System dismissively.

“What, how can you be this shameless as a system?” exclaimed Fang Ning exasperatedly.

“Hmph, I can be as impulsive as I want as a system…” said the System proudly.

At this point, the Infernal Flame of the Devil Rats saw that Vigilante A was silent for a while.

He regretted slightly. ‘Did I ask for a price too high?

‘That’s right, Vigilante A would never haggle, perhaps he is upset about this.

‘Ah well, I’m tricking him anyway, the more I can earn, the better. I have nothing to lose.’

He continued, “Having said that, I have heard of your fame. As you protected the peace on Earth, I shouldn’t ask you for much more. Even though your offer is still slightly undervalued compared to my treasure, I am willing to part with it by taking a tiny loss.”

His expression was that of heartbreak, and a believable one at that.

Gu Buwei shook his head. ‘He really thought Vigilante A could be deceived, not knowing that he is the loser in the end. However, due to the cloudlessness of the sky, the fate was still not set in stone.
