All Novel Full 210 So Weak!
“I’ll pay Six Spirit Coins per ding! Sell them to me!”
The Merchants clamored around Xin Ruo trying to get her attention. They had also raised the price from the fixed price of 1-star Spirit Coin per ding in their bid to get her attention.
“One 1-star and one dim-star Spirit Coins!”
Hong Niu shouted, raising the price. Somehow the simple selling of the Prime Gold Ore had turned into an auction!
Xin Ruo compared the bids in her head.
‘The Six Spirit coins mentioned in the first bid are all Null-Star Spirit Coins. Each of them is worth 100 Gold. A total of Six hundred gold.’
She thought, looking at the first merchant. Then her eyes moved to Hong Niu.
‘Hong Niu bid 1-star Spirit Coin worth 500 Gold and another Null star Spirit Coin on top. That is also 600 gold. However, even a fool knows one 1-star Spirit Coin is more valuable than 5 of Null-star Spirit Coins.’
Suddenly another loud voice joined in.
” One 1-star and 1 Null-star spirit coins and a flat 10% discount on all items sold by the Blazing Winds Merchantry.”
This voice attracted the attention of all the people present. They were shocked to know that the one bidding was none other than Zhang Chun, the merchant who had proposed to impose sanctions on Ikasa!
They saw Ikasa sitting not far from the huge figure of Zhang Chun, looking at him with surprise. A wave of respect arose in the heart of most of the merchants while some looked at him with suspicion.
For most of the Merchants here, Hong Niu’s bid was already outrageous! Adding a 10% discount on all goods on top of that was too much for them to bear.
Hong Niu narrowed his eyes at the round figure of Zhang Chun and loudly stated, “I am willing to match his bid!”
Xin Ruo looked at the two merchants, unable to decide the winner.
Hong Niu had been the first one to step out to buy their ores. He did not do it out of goodwill but simply for profits.
On the other hand, the Blazing Winds Merchantry of Zhang Chun had a much wider variety of goods but he had irked Ikasa.
Xin Ruo could not make a decision. Just because Zhang Chun had annoyed Ikasa did not mean he was out of the race. Previously, the He Family had also tried to get Ikasa killed but today they were earning the most amount of money for their GHBG.
She looked at Ikasa for help. Other merchants also followed her gaze and looked at Ikasa.
The young man in question was already weighing the options.
When they had entered this area, he had scanned the stalls of the Merchants. He had found plenty or rare ores and equipment for sale on both the stalls.
Ikasa began to contemplate the options in his head.
‘The Red Bull Company has fewer equipment and weapons for sale than the Blazing Winds Merchantry. The variety and quality of the Weapon grade ores is, however, the same. That is all I need.’
After weighing the options he reached a decision.
Ikasa stood up from the comfortable chair and walked to Zhang Chun. The small beady eyes of the obese man lit up as he expected Ikasa to make a deal with him.
From the other side of the room, Hong Niu also looked at Ikasa with anxious anticipation. If Ikasa chose Zhang Chun, he would regret having gone against the fat merchant.
‘Even backing down now would not be a good idea.’ Hong Niu thought as he saw Ikasa stop beside Zhang Chun. His heart skipped a beat when he saw Ikasa pat the shoulder of the merchant with a smile.
‘Don’t… Don’t choose him.’
The calm facade of Hong Niu crumbled. He had maintained an indifferent poker face until now but his face paled slightly as he saw the vicious smile on Zhang Chun’s face.
“Zhang Chun, I really admire your thick skin. Your shamelessness knows no bounds!”
The smiling face of Zhang Chun stiffened as he looked at the smiling face of Ikasa.
The way Ikasa delivered those words; Anyone would think Ikasa was truly complimenting Zhang Chun! However, if they paid attention to the words themselves, not even a fool would consider them as compliments!
As soon as the eyes of Ikasa and Zhang Chun met, Ikasa sneered.
“How delusional must you be to think I would sell my Prime Gold Ores to you after insulting my people? After the shit you have pulled just now?”
A genuine smile returned to Hong Niu’s face as Zhang Chun turned ashen. His lower lips trembled with such vibrations that they could generate heat!
“You… You… IKASA!”
Zhang Chun roared with anger. This was the worst type of humiliation he had encountered. First, Ikasa had given him hope by enlightening him and now, he had stomped on his ego even more badly!
Unable to control his rage at this humiliation, Zhang Chun swung his fist at Ikasa.
Despite being a Sense Realm Expert, Zhang Chun was not at all fit. His punch seemed to be moving at a snail’s pace to the enhanced senses of Ikasa.
He simply tilted his neck a little and let the swinging arm punch the air beside his head and held the thick forearm of the man with his right hand.
“Really?”
Ikasa asked with a smirk. It only served to infuriate the man further.
Zhang Chun once again swung his other hand at Ikasa. This time Ikasa did not let him reach near his face. He grabbed the thick attacking arm with his left hand.
Energy gathered at the back of his right hand as he let the fat merchant taste his Low grade Battle Technique Backhand!
Smack!
One Slap! That is all it took for Zhang Chun to roll his eyes into the back of his head and faint on the spot. Half of his hairy belly was exposed as his jacket tore open, unable to contain the excess mass.
The gathered people were dazed as they watched the wealthiest merchant fall to the ground, unconscious. Zhang Chun had the best defense of them all yet he had fallen after taking a single slap from Ikasa!
This had proven Ikasa was no slouch at practicing martial arts as well. The Merchants looked at Xin Ruo by his side and could only sigh.
‘You have a handsome face, a pretty lady by your side and you are also rich? Now you have shown you are also good at Martial Arts! Brother, can you let the people live?’
Hong Niu thought as he looked at Ikasa. When he heard the words he muttered, he was left stunned.
“Tsk. So weak.”
Ikasa muttered looking at the fainted body of Zhang Chun with slight disdain.
When he raised his head, Ikasa saw the stupefied figure of Hong Niu. He opened his arms wide and said,
“Congratulations, Brother Hong! The hundred Prime Gold Ores will be yours!”
Hong Niu shook out of the daze. The reality of winning the bid hit him as a wide grin appeared on his face.
‘I will probably be the first merchant to sell a hundred dings of the Prime Gold Ore at once to the Royal Yan Family. Will they reward me extra for it?’
Hong Niu was lost in his euphoric thoughts when he heard the sound of thumps, like heavy ores falling to the floor.
A small mountain of Prime Gold Ore taller than his head formed before his eyes. The other merchants looked enviously as Hong Niu scanned the mountain with his spiritual sense.
“This is indeed 100 dings of Prime Gold Ore!”
Hong Niu exclaimed and immediately took out a large bag from his Storage Space. He counted 100 1-Star Spirit Coins and 100 Null-Star Spirit Coins and handed them to Ikasa.
“Brother Ikasa, please find me the next time you have such a good haul!”
The rough skinned merchant fawningly said to Ikasa, still looking at the small shining mountain of ore that belonged to him.
‘After this single transaction, my Red Bull Trading Company may very well surpass the Blazing Winds Merchantry!’
Hong Niu thought, forgetting the presence of Ikasa and his companions. His face had turned red and he constantly gulped saliva as he was lost in thoughts.
Even after a few minutes he had not awakened from his daydream. Ikasa snapped his fingers before his eyes and asked in a loud voice,
“Brother Hong, are you not going to show us your wares?”
Hong Niu awakened and cleared his throat with embarrassment. He immediately brought his benefactors to his stall and ordered the servants to pack the Prime Gold Ore mountain and prepare refreshments.
Then the man personally went rummaging through the boxes placed at the back and began to bring out his best and most precious ores and wares.
Gesturing to the dazzling array of minerals and ores and weapons and equipments, Hong Niu said ,
“Brother Ikasa, take your pick.”
