Chapter 51: BN 69 (1/2)
Everyone present was stupefied beyond belief. Roaming Dragon did not hesitate to pay 100,000 RMB for a Level 1 pet. How bold was that?
Even if that Greedy Wolf was a quality product, it still only had 4 stars in Attack. In the later stages, pets might have 5, 6 or even 7 stars in Attack growth scaling. Although this Greedy Wolf was impressive in the early stages of the game, it would surely lag behind others later on. And yet, Roaming Dragon had actually paid that much money for this kind of transitional pet. There could only be two reasons why. One, he had too much money; two, he had been kicked in the head by a donkey when he was a kid.
To be honest, Roaming Dragon really was rich. He got someone to log out to transfer the money and the trade was complete before 10 minutes had gone by, making the Level 1 Greedy Wolf Roaming Dragon’s pet. Luckily, that tamer was an honest person. If it were me, I would’ve immediately logged off and done a hit-and-run.
Roaming Dragon had a look of satisfaction once he obtained his top-tier Greedy Wolf. He then noticed me and Lin Yixin. With a raised brow, he asked faintly, “Wind Beauty, why are you together with someone like him?”
Lin Yixin didn’t answer him. She patted my shoulder with the hilt of her sword and smirked. “Hey, why are you always following me?”
I almost threw up blood. “I wasn’t following you, it’s all heaven’s will. Fate, get it?”
“...”
Lin Yixin glanced at me with disdain in her eyes.
Roaming Dragon’s eyes instantly became hazy once he turned to look at Lin Yixin. It was obvious that an absolute beauty like Lin Yixin had done some fatal damage to him.
“Wind Beauty, do you have a pet?” Roaming Dragon asked fawningly.
Lin Yixin pointed at me with her mouth. “What should I eat tonight?”
“The hell does that have to do with me? It’s not like we’re eating together…” I almost threw up blood again.
Roaming Dragon pointed at his Greedy Wolf. “Wind Beauty, if you don’t have a pet at the moment, how about I give you one? This Greedy Wolf’s BN is pretty high, you can go grind with it.”
I couldn’t take it anymore and asked Lin Yixin, “Hey, didn’t we steal a boss from the Mad Dragon guild before? Why does this guy seem quite familiar with you?”
Lin Yixin’s beautiful eyes frosted over as she angrily replied, “You’re familiar with him, your entire family’s familiar with him…”
I pursed my lips. “Your sister…”
Lin Yixin glared at me and then expressionlessly swept her gaze over Roaming Dragon. She said indifferently, “I have a pet already. Fire Blade, BN 34. Your Greedy Wolf is just trash in my eyes. Also, stay far away from me. I haven’t paid your Mad Dragon guild back for PKing Qingqing!”
Lin Yixin then shot me a look and said in a low voice, “Skeleton, hit him with your Dark Wasp and show this kid there are some things money can’t buy!”
I nodded and waved my Weeping Fire Blade in front of my chest. A hexagram formation appeared, once again summoning my Dark Wasp. Its wings were buzzing, its body was dark cyan, and its stinger gleamed with a cold light, like a sharpened dagger. Anyone with two eyes could see that my pet wasn’t a common one.
As expected, Roaming Dragon was immediately shocked. “W-what’s this?”
Killing intent spread through Lin Yixin’s pretty face. “Stupid Lu Chen, what’s up with your Dark Wasp’s name? You want to die?”
I ignored the beauty who wanted to kill me and answered Roaming Dragon, enunciating every word. “Dark Wasp, 6-star Attack, 4.5-star Defense, 4-star HP, 5.5-star Agility… BN 69!”
“W-what?” Roaming Dragon’s eyeballs almost bulged out of their sockets. “BN 69? H-how’s that possible, you must be fucking lying!”
I laughed coldly. With a wave of my fingers, a window of my Dark Wasp’s initial stats at Level 1 instantly flew up. This made not only Roaming Dragon, but even the bystanders at the side, including Lin Yixin, look on with mouths agape. The Dark Wasp’s BN 69 value was too strong and could be considered the only one of its kind in Floating Ice City.
Greed in his eyes, Roaming Dragon asked me, “How much are you selling this Dark Wasp for?”
“Not selling!” Lin Yixin answered for me. “Don’t think you’re awesome just by having a bit of money. Hmph. He’s not selling this Dark Wasp even if you offer one hundred mil!”
Roaming Dragon mumbled, “Will you sell it for one hundred mil?”
I asked, “Do you have a hundred mil?”
Lin Yixin gritted her teeth in extreme anger and fiercely pinched my arm. “Bastard, can’t you have the slightest bit of integrity?”
“If I can actually sell it for one hundred million, we can split it fifty-fifty…”
“That’s what you said. You there, can you take out a hundred million?”
“...”
In the end, even though Roaming Dragon was one of those privileged rich second-generations, his funds weren’t enough. He could only bring his loyal minions out of the city to grind.
I went to the warehouse and made myself two stacks of Rank 3 Magic Consumables for myself. When I returned to the plaza, I discovered that Lin Yixin had not left yet. She sat cross-legged in a stall, selling a few Iron-grade pieces and a Level 25 Common-grade bow with a decent Attack, though it did not have any additional stats.
It seemed like she was an industrious and capable girl. This part of her was worthy of praise.
I walked up, leaned in a bit and stared at her.
Lin Yixin stared back. “What’re you looking at, kid?”
I smiled. “Still have potions?”
“Yes.” Lin Yixin gave me a sly look. “But the potions being made now are all Rank 3 and can instantly restore 600 HP, with a 60-second cooldown. They’re pretty expensive, you know~”
“How much?”
“50 silver a bottle!”
“Fuck, so overpriced!” I said with gritted teeth.
Lin Yixin said smilingly, “You don’t have to buy them~”
I thought about it some more, and I concluded that these Rank 3 potions at 50 silver weren’t that overpriced because I had seen others selling Rank 2 potions for 30 silver per.
And so, I took out 10 gold. “Then give me 20 bottles!”
