40 Yrrahs are king of Scammers (2/2)
One of the lady objected and raised for one of the stone chosen by Xu Que by offering double spiritual stones. Xu Que initially tried to claim back by raising the bids but finally backed down and the final bid for that stone ended at 20,000 spiritual stones. But later Xu Que revealed that the stone contains a dead man's' head only which startled the crowd. Later bidding continued on with worthless stones and people who can said to be fools bid the useless stones at enormous prices of 60,000 or even 100,000.
Later the stone with head was cut open and Xu Que scared the lady cutting the stone by reminding her that there's old man's head in it which may be cursed that may later try to misbehave and exploit the lady once it came out from stone. And as per prediction of Xu Que, a head which seemed very old but was still intact really appeared from the sliced stone. People claimed it to be even above Form Synthesis Stage or Crossing Calamity Stage or even Mahayana stage which is pinnacle of mortal cultivation stages in this universe. Shameless Xu Que didn't stepped back in taunting the lady for her wasting 20000 stones on a worthless head, thus adding salt to her wounds even more.
Now his miraculous ability was noticed by the hotshots present in the convention and they wanted to capture this guy. But Xu Que remained calm and ignored the warnings from Ice Empress who wanted him to escape as soon as possible suspecting the sinister motives of hotshots around. Later Xu Que himself offered the X-ray machine for sale at 100,000 high quality spiritual stones as minimum auction price. The crowd went crazy to buy it and divided themselves in groups to accumulate more cash. Bigger families created their own group and smaller ones recruited middle class families to match with the bigger families alliance. But they were unaware that that X-ray machine was a rented object that will disappear after 1 day.
After a great war of bidding the final price was an astronomical figure of 5 million high quality spiritual stones. Even Ice Empress was impressed how a figure at Infant Transformation Stage is capable of deceiving the big families and major factions of East continent. The highest bid was from elders of three big families of east continent. They decided to kill Xu Que later to reclaim what they have lost. But another problem popped up that they didn't know how to operate this X-ray machine and Xu Que offered a huge price of 10 million spiritual stones to buy the manual for operating this machine. Seeing such shamelessness everybody was stunned. In fact even after buying manual they can't see the projected image which is displayed in the head of Xu Que only by the system. He played with elders for some time but later threw the book for free towards them so as not to annoy them anymore. After that he wanted to leave but elders tried to stop him suspecting machine as another scam by Xu Que just like tofu. But Xu Que openly exposed their ideas of robbing him on their face and dared them to follow him if they want to rob him and left with Buttface and Ice Princess.
Seeing this many people hesitated following him. But the elders of three big families remained shameless. Jiang, Bai and Gong families elders left one by one to give chase to Xu Que's party to recover their 5 million precious spiritual stones. Soon the news of Xu Que from Heavens Exploding Faction and three families holding a mystic tool to see through cutting stones, spread around like wildfire. So various small families and middle class families joined hands together to hunt for three big families instead to seize the mystic tool from them instead. Finally the three elders caught up to Xu Que's party and threatened them to spill out the stones. Xu Que tried his trick to make these three fight each other but elders saw through his tricks. Later Xu Que provided them another manual saying that this is the true one and earlier one was fake that's why they can't control the X-ray machine. Jiang elder recited a bull crap incantation that was written on the manual and after that X-ray machine got invisible which he thought to be absorbed in his body but it actually was revoked by system. But the foolish elders thought manual words to be true and started trying the instructions on second page of manual, but the machine didn't showed up. Now the other two elders started suspecting Jiang elder that he is deliberately keeping the machine to reap all benefits alone. But after some crap comments they halted their internal battle and attracted by greed to snatch a second x-ray machine too which was showed to them by Xu Que along with a free gift of Earth Shrinking Amulet (Divine Tracking emblem's name as per locals of East Continent) and even a vulgar incantation to humiliate the three elders. Thus controlled by greed for a second machine they attacked him in unison putting their personal disputes in pending list of their brains.
But before they attacked Xu Que along with Buttface and Ice Empress burned Divine Tracking Emblem to escape successfully. Although the elders were angry by the escape of a young elite right under their nose but Jiang Elder was feeling really happy to obtain a gift of Earth Shrinking Amulet. Earlier he suspected this amulet to be fake too knowing the personality of Xu Que, but seeing him escaping using the same thing he felt happy. Later he chanted the vulgar incantation to bring out the X-ray machine out of his body thinking it as correct one but still nothing happened. Now elders from Bai family and Gong family were sure that Jiang Elder named as 'Jiang Limu' is cheating them and wants to keep the first X-ray machine with himself alone. They immediately attacked him but Jiang Limu used the Earth Shrinking Amulet in his hands to escape from the incoming attack instinctively. Now this confirmed the doubts of elders of Bai and Gong family that Jiang Limu has cheated them. But before they can plan any action a big crowd of cultivators arrived on the spot and on not finding Xu Que they suspected that Gong and Bai Elders have killed him already. But their real motive was X-ray machine too so they targeted Jiang, Gong and Bai Families instead. But soon some reinforcements from three big families arrived through a message delivering spell and except for some strong cultivators at Void Training Stage rest were massacred by an Jiang Elder who has recently arrived along with reinforcements. But this Jiang elder didn't knew that Jiang Limu has already escaped with X-ray machine and unknowingly he became no. 1 target of the rest of the two big families.
While in another corner away from the ancient city Xu Que told his party about his mischievous scheme. They were surprised to see the schemes of this young man. After all the ruckus and system upgrading expenses now Xu Que is only left with 30,000 points. He activated lucky aura, a new feature of system after upgrading by throwing a shoe to use it as a compass to know her direction as Ice Empress was unwilling to reveal the information to him at all as Water Empress has told her to keep Xu Que away from her too knowing her accursed fate. Seeing that the shoe revealed correct direction even Ice Empress was surprised but she just thought it as a luck factor. Also predicting that Water Empress (Jiang Hongyan) must be in serious trouble or otherwise she won't broke her promise to meet him at Bright Moon Hotel, he was desperate to find her. He didn't cared about expensive charges of 1000 act tough points per second to generate Lucky Aura from system.
Back there Jiang Limu on receiving message via Messaging spell from another elder of Jiang family to return to explain the situation to rest of the two families to avoid a war was shivering in fear. As he can't produce X-ray machine and he has escaped already he was in tough spot so he didn't replied the message nor returned to the family. Not only that this Jiang Elder is blaming Water Empress cursed fate for these bad events too.
-------------------------------------------------------
The Yrrah plaza became a huge success in Five Elements Continent and thus Yrrahs have immediately rolled up their plans to introduce Yrrah Plaza branches in all continents of this world.
And as only Almightoronian dollars are accepted by Yrrahs and people are crazy for the modern stuff for eating and amusement too, they have been forced into demonetization of their currency (replacement of currency after stopping usage of previous currency) of spiritual stones. They are selling the raw materials for making finished products in barter system to obtain Almightoronian dollars first and then they spent those dollars back to buy the finished products in all continents. Soon news of Yrrahs and demonetization was spread all around the world and previous currency was being forfeited by everybody. Earlier all those who got scammed by Xu Que were happy by this as they have spent their money already. But Xu Que was regretting the same as his 5 million stones are not worth a penny now. He was furious with these Yrrahs and even with the plaza scheme of theirs. It was clearly a scheme of his to make money, how dare Yrrahs steal his technique? He claimed Yrrahs to be king of scammers and himself a victim of the scam raised by Yrrahs. Having confidence on his strength, he immediately reached the branch of Yrrah Plaza on east continent to cause trouble and started cursing out foul words. Stonexia was watching this and teleported in front of him instantly which surprised Xu Que. ”What's your problem, vulgar mouth kid?” asked Stonexia.
”You are kid, your entire family is kid..... how dare you behave like a elder in front of me when you look like the same age as me?” retorted Xu Que.
”Kid control your vulgar tongue in my presence or your system won't be able to help you from my wrath. And as for your question for my looks, my strength makes me look young, i should be over 150 years in age by now if i remember correctly.” Stonexia revealed his true age and exposed the secret of Xu Que via a thought message.
Xu Que was surprised but he really can't see through the strength of this man in front of him. Even system was unable to read the cultivation level of this man. Moreover system warned him that an ancient system's aura is being detected from Stonexia which is much higher in status if compared to Scheming System. Now Xu Que got a hint that the other man is a human being just like him who has an even superior system if compared to his. So naturally he can't act haughty in front of him. Also this human must have already experienced modern life that's why applying idea of his Wanda Plaza as Yrrah Plaza can't be copying his idea. Although he was still angry by the demonetization of the spiritual stones as his hard schemed money is now waste product of past, but still what can he do against the person in front of him.
”But I will keep acting tough and escape from this Yrrah or whatever he is” thought Xu Que, and immediately started acting haughty in front of Stonexia. Stonexia simply threw his shoe in the mouth of Xu Que to shut him up, who was still blabbering vulgar words non stop trying to act tough. Xu Que was angry with this humiliation. For revenge, he used every last skill and spell he has along with strongest Fiery Buddha Lotus but even without any defensive move of Stonexia nothing could scratch his body from any attack of ant like mortal in front of him. Now Xu Que was feeling as if he has encountered a final boss of a game while being at start of a game himself.He immediately burned his Divine Tracking Emblems continuously but Stonexia was always in front of him wherever he teleported as OPS has copied whole Scheming cosmos already. Now he was cursing himself and regretted acting tough in front of this guy. Stonexia was aware about this so he didn't annoyed this MC anymore and didn't chased Xu Que further. It was really fun for Stonexia to play with the MCs of various cosmoses.
