Chapter 605: 195. Hit the jackpot
Noland Lee knew that his expenses might be quite high in the coming days, which could easily deplete his wallet. He had to think about how to make money in advance.
While considering the best way to make money on the Suman Archipelago, he wandered around Hadley’s shop.
After about half an hour, Noland Lee had meticulously looked at all the goods, and Hadley had also sorted out the spoils from his sea expedition.
Seeing that Noland Lee was very interested in the items in his store, Hadley grew more hopeful. After getting his things sorted out, he stood beside Noland Lee with his arms folded and introduced the items in the store following Noland Lee’s gaze.
“This dragon scale used to have mysterious energy fluctuations on it, but after being left for a long time, the energy dissipated completely…”
“This stone ball, as big as my head, is probably the ‘Yarn Ball’ in the eyes of a baby dragon. It has many claw marks and bite marks on it. When I first got it, the marks on the ball were quite clear, much prettier than now. But I can’t afford to buy a sealed display cabinet to preserve it… so… hehe, it has become like this now…”
Hadley picked up a dirty, old silver candlestick from the storage shelf and said proudly:
“This is one of the few relatively intact items in my store. It’s a collection of the Dragon Clan, probably from a few epochs ago, I estimated…”
Before Hadley could finish his sentence, the silver candlestick with three branches underwent a change.
Due to Hadley’s excessive force, the candlestick’s base on the far left was nudged by his robust fingers, cracked, slumped down weakly, and landed on the floor with a clang.
The atmosphere of the scene was awkward and froze for a second.
Hadley put the antique silver candlestick back on the shelf, laboriously bent over with his bucket-like waist, picked up the broken base from the floor, and gave Noland Lee a stiff smile:
“Well, if you buy this antique, I can give you a discount…”
Noland Lee’s expression remained unchanged, pretending not to see Hadley’s embarrassed appearance:
“Hadley, I have a question. If your items are genuine, why don’t you sell them at the Magic Items Exchange?”
Hadley took out some glue and carefully glued the broken candle base back to the candlestick:
“You must have just arrived at the Suman Archipelago recently, haven’t you? Did you hear that the fees at the Magic Items Exchange here are very low? Hmph, don’t be so naïve. This is bait deliberately released by the Mantas Family.”
“The Mantas Family?” Noland Lee asked.
“Haven’t you heard of them? Well, I don’t know much either. I only know that the Mantas Family is notoriously shrewd. They are the ones behind the Magic Items Exchange.”
