Chapter 233: Pleasing Him
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Kaiyang City, trading market.
...A middle-aged vendor squatted in a corner of the trading market. In front of him was a white cloth with some things like [Black Iron Ore] and [Spirit Grass] on it.
As they were all common resources, although there were people coming and going around, no one came to ask for the prices.
The middle-aged vendor did not care. He only hugged his shoulders and squatted on the ground, his empty eyes seemingly in a daze.
After an unknown period of time, a young man came to the stall and pointed at one of the spirit grasses. “Boss, how much is this [Water Spirit Grass]?”
The middle-aged vendor glanced at the person. “500 units of [Fine Copper Ore].”
“So expensive?! Why don’t you rob someone?!”
The young man exclaimed and left while cursing.
After a while, two young people came again and pointed at the [Water Spirit Grass]. “Boss, how much is this?”
The middle-aged vendor looked at the ground and did not even raise his head.
“500 units of [Fine Copper Ore]!”
“Isn’t it too expensive?”
One of the young men grinned. “Will a hundred units of [Black Iron Ore] work?”
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged vendor’s eyes flickered. He looked at the two of them and asked in a low voice, “No one bargains for you. There’s only one price! One hundred units of [purple gold mineral]!”
“Why did you increase the price instead?”
The young man who spoke smiled. “But it’s not impossible. I’ll take all 100 units of [purple gold mineral]
When the middle-aged stall owner heard this, he grabbed the four corners of the white cloth and wrapped everything up. Then, he turned around and gestured in a direction. “Please follow me!”
The two young people looked at each other and followed the middle-aged vendor into an alley at the side. After taking a few turns, they stopped in front of a dilapidated house.
“Please enter.”
As the middle-aged vendor spoke, he opened the door. A young man in the Blue Planet military uniform was already waiting inside.
“You betrayed us!”
The pupils of the two young people constricted. One of them suddenly grabbed the middle-aged stall owner’s neck, and a few purple patterns instantly formed on the back of his hand!
The middle-aged vendor’s face instantly turned red. He wanted to explain, but he could not say anything.
At this moment, the young man in military uniform in the room smiled bitterly. A few purple patterns spread out from under his collar. “This is just my disguise.”
Seeing the few purple patterns that emitted a faint light, the two young people instantly relaxed.
The young man who made things difficult let go of the middle-aged stall owner and bowed respectfully. “I’m sorry, I was too impulsive.”
The middle-aged vendor covered his neck and waved his hand. “There are too many people here. Let’s go in and talk!”
The three of them entered and the young man in military uniform took the initiative to say, “My name is Turk, and I’m the vice-captain of the special task force for this operation.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged vendor also said, “I’m your liaison officer. You can call me by my Blue Planet name, Lan Dahai.”
“My name is Lang Buli. This is my brother, Lang Lina.”
The young man who had grabbed Lan Dahai’s neck earlier introduced himself.
Then, he looked at Turk in confusion. “You said that you’re the deputy captain? Then where’s our captain? Has he arrived yet?”
“The captain should have already died.”
As he spoke, Turk took out a few portraits. “These are the lords of the Blue Planet who were with the Captain during his last operation. You can take a look. ”
“A level three lord?”
Lang Buli saw the level three lord at a glance and could not help but reveal a
surprised expression. “This level three lord called Wang Xiao could actually explore the secret realm with a level five lord? Are you sure the information is correct?”
Turk pointed at the military uniform on his body. “This is the information I obtained from the Blue Planet’s military. It’s definitely not wrong.”
After a pause, Turk continued, “The captain’s death means that his plan has failed, and this Li Tongfu is missing with the captain. I think he should be dead. These two people are the ones you need to pay attention to—”
Turk took out the portraits of Wang Xiao and Tang Longji and then pushed Wang Xiao’s portrait forward. “Especially this person. As a level three lord, he can still escape unscathed after participating in a level five lord’s operation.
This means that he must be hiding a secret.”
The Lang brothers nodded. Lang Lina asked in a low voice, “What’s this person’s lord talent?”
Turk was about to speak when Lan Dahai suddenly said, “He’s a beast tamer lord.”
Turk was stunned. “You know him?”
“I’ve been hiding on the Blue Planet for a long time, and there should be very few people in Kaiyang City who don’t know him.”
Lan Dahai smiled bitterly and roughly recounted how Wang Xiao brought people to resist the invasion of the Crimson Star in the lord competition.
After hearing that, Turk pondered and did not say anything. The Lang brothers opposite him revealed disdainful expressions.
Lang Lina sneered. “It’s just beating back a few trashy Crimson Star people. It’s nothing impressive! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lang Buli nodded in agreement. “That’s right. In our Purple Star, anyone can do this!”
“But these are the Crimson Star people who stole our holy beasts.”
Turk spoke indifferently, and the Lang brothers immediately fell silent.
After a moment of silence, Lan Dahai said in a low voice with a solemn expression, “I don’t know how you plan to deal with Wang Xiao, but you have to be especially careful. He’s not as simple as he looks. Moreover, I heard that he has a good relationship with the Blue Planet’s military.”
“The military of the Blue Planet?”
The Lang brothers were stunned when they heard this, and their faces revealed a solemn expression for the first time.
The Purple Star lords were never afraid of battle, but it also depended on the actual situation. This was the Blue Planet’s home ground, and they only had a few people. If they fought head-on, they would definitely be doomed.
Although they were not afraid of death, they had come with a mission this time. No matter what, they could not tarnish the honor of their kind.
However, just as the two of them were feeling heavy hearted, Turke suddenly chuckled. ‘You don’t have to worry about the Blue Planet’s military. Wang Xiao has already fallen out with them. I saw it with my own eyes.”
The other three were immediately interested. Turk did not keep them in suspense and directly told them about the quarrel between Wang Xiao and Chen Iinrong.
“Looks like it’s a purely interest based relationship..
Lan Dahai muttered thoughtfully in a low voice. After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. “Since this Wang Xiao is so greedy, perhaps we can use him?”
Hearing this, Turk and the Lang brothers looked at each other and their expressions gradually became subtle.
Yuheng Academy, [Training Ground].
Wang Xiao opened his eyes in a daze and realized that he was standing in the small black room. Only then did he realize that he had actually fallen asleep for no reason.
Just as he was wondering what was going on, the door suddenly opened and Huang Tingwei stood outside with a dark expression.
Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment before hurriedly saying, “Academy Head, I’m really sorry. I might have been too tired recently and accidentally fell asleep just now. Can I do it again?
“There’s no need.”
Huang Tingwei said indifferently with a malicious expression, “Congratulations on passing..”
