Chapter 1410: Chapter 1298: Heart of the Sun God Bird (Two-in-One)_2
"No, I just got lucky with this one Red Marrow Gem, which I risked my life to obtain in the Death Space."
"Too bad, if it were a full set of gems, I’d exchange a million credits for it. But just this single gem is worth at most ten thousand credits. Death Space, it’s been a long time since any living creature has ventured inside, quite impressive for the young!"
The NPC seemed lost in memories, their expression growing somewhat complex.
"Ten thousand credits?"
Su Ran seemed surprised, a single quest gem actually sold for such a high price, simply unbelievable! As for the million credits, he didn’t even bother dreaming about it, he didn’t have the life expectancy to entertain such thoughts...
"Senior, I’ll exchange!"
He was afraid the NPC might change their mind, so he quickly handed over the Red Marrow Gem to the NPC. Ten thousand credits in hand, it felt pretty good!
"Senior, does this gem have some sort of story behind it?"
After selling the gem, Su Ran then thought of his map, which marked out the Death Passage. Was there any special connection there?
"That’s connected to the secrets of the underground palace. Collect all the gems, and you will naturally get your answer."
The NPC’s demeanor changed instantly after receiving the Red Marrow Gem, becoming cold and indifferent, which made Su Ran somewhat uncomfortable.
"Senior, I’m feeling a bit of regret for selling it, can I have the gem back?"
"Sure, one hundred thousand credits."
"..."
Su Ran had the urge to strangle the NPC.
Feeling ripped off by this guy, Su Ran immediately dropped the idea of buying back the gem.
"Do you have anything else, or can I rest now?"
The NPC seemed to be hinting it was time for Su Ran to leave; the appearance of the Red Marrow Gem evidently hadn’t improved Su Ran’s bad image in their mind.
Snob!
This was the evaluation Su Ran gave to the NPC in question. He glanced around and, not finding Dai Xuan and Shuxin, continued, "I would like to exchange some special items, Senior, please indulge me!"
"You still want to trade for items? Hurry up then, I don’t have all day to waste with you!"
The NPC obviously showed impatience, even their voice carried a hint of irritation, which was easy to detect.
Su Ran wasn’t bothered by it; as long as he could spend his credits, that’s what mattered!
When he opened the exchange interface and took a casual glance, he was immediately wide-eyed, and even the Bone Soul Ghost Fire in his eye sockets burned brightly, revealing his immense excitement.
The top item, the heart of the Sun God Bird—an incredibly special item!
The price in credits, three hundred thousand!
"Wow, why so expensive!"
Seeing the steep cost in credits, Su Ran’s initial excitement instantly cooled. He thought he was a credit tycoon, but little did he expect he could barely exchange for three hearts before going back to being broke, the NPC really had a heart of stone!
Compared to them, the swindler Yin Si might as well be considered the conscience of the industry...
"Senior, what’s this heart used for? Why is it so expensive?"
Su Ran knew better than to let the NPC know he needed the heart, or who knows how much more they’d raise the price!
"It’s useless."
The NPC was surprisingly honest, not claiming it cured rare diseases or anything. They just continued, "The Sun God Bird is an ancient divine beast; its heart is valued at three hundred thousand coins!"
"I see now, it’s the brand effect."
Su Ran nodded in agreement. Using divine beasts as a gimmick was a common merchant tactic—tag a high price on the goods, and some sucker would definitely be sold on it, like himself.
"Senior, this heart seems like it has collection value, and I’m interested in buying it for my collection. How about we make it cheaper, thirty thousand credits? What do you think?"
"What? Thirty thousand?"
The NPC burst out laughing in disbelief, scolding Su Ran coldly, "Leave here now before I get angry!"
"Senior, calm your anger, at least hear my analysis first."
Su Ran wasn’t worried by the NPC’s anger. He stuck a finger out and drew a circle in the air before him, "Just think about it, I sell a Red Marrow Gem for ten thousand points, and you flip it for 100K. This means my ten thousand points can generate ten times the value in your hands. So if I use thirty thousand points to buy this heart, it’s an equal exchange. I see nothing wrong with it. What do you think, Senior?"
"Sounds reasonable... pah, what a mess. Thinking you can buy the Sun God Bird’s heart for thirty thousand is just wishful thinking!"
The NPC shook his sleeves fiercely, turned away, and refused to deal with Su Ran any longer.
"So, what’s your rock-bottom price? It’s normal for people to negotiate in business, what’s there to be angry about?"
Su Ran actually started to console the NPC, chuckling as he spoke.
"Three hundred thousand points, take it or leave it, I won’t haggle!"
"Come on, that’s so heartless, not giving me any face! And here I just sold you a gem on the cheap, that’s really not cool."
Su Ran casually threw out a card with three hundred thousand points on it, still muttering, "If it weren’t for the sake of the Sun God Bird, I wouldn’t give a damn about this lousy heart!"
"I can’t believe you actually have three hundred thousand points, so you’ve been crying poor with me?"
The NPC took the points card reluctantly and handed over the heart of the Sun God Bird to Su Ran, mumbling under his breath about how he should’ve set a higher price.
Got the Sun God Bird’s heart!
Hahaha, just need to get the Soul Stone, and then I can have an ancient divine beast!
Today, the common folk are truly elated!
"Goodbye, no need to see me out!"
The NPC’s patience had been completely worn down by Su Ran, and before Su Ran could even pocket the heart, the NPC started showing him out.
"Senior, is this how you treat your customers? Customers are gods; without them, where would your earnings come from? Besides, in this godforsaken place, how many can even find this spot? Cherishing every customer is what you ought to do!"
"You call yourself a god? I’d rather bury these treasures in my hands than sell them to you again!"
The NPC’s attitude toward Su Ran had now turned to disdain; Su Ran figured if he said much more, the NPC might turn hostile.
"Alas, so stubborn. Well, let’s not buy it then, Senior. I do have one more treasure here; take a look, and then I’ll leave."
Having said that, Su Ran took out the peculiar Stone Sword and slammed it onto the ground.
"What is this..."
The NPC’s expression changed dramatically. He squatted down, wanting to touch the Stone Sword but not daring to offend its dignity. His eyes showed shock and alarm as he looked at Su Ran and urgently asked, "Warrior, how did you come by this Thunder Punishment Divine Stone?"
Tsk, tsk, suddenly I’m called ’Warrior’—what a change of face! Excellently done!
Got to say, treasures really do talk!
Su Ran really wanted to lean in and ask the guy, brother, got any shame left?
"Pure luck, pure luck. Senior, could you not look at me with those eyes? It’s quite embarrassing."
He knew the Stone Sword was a treasure, but he hadn’t expected it to shock this NPC quite so much. Well, that was fine; teach this guy a lesson for underestimating people. Now feeling regret, are we?
"Warrior, are you considering selling this Thunder Punishment Divine Stone? I’m willing to pay a high price!"
Knowing the value of the Stone Sword, the NPC naturally didn’t want to miss out. For the sake of obtaining the sword, he was even willing to pay a premium—an extraordinary move!
"Senior, it’s not that I won’t sell it to you, but you’ve already told me to leave. How can I shamelessly linger here? Don’t worry, I’m leaving right now. I won’t be a nuisance any longer."
Su Ran picked up the Stone Sword unhurriedly and with a grave tone, he turned to leave.
"Warrior, please wait!"
Now it was the NPC’s turn to panic. He quickly stepped forward, facing Su Ran with a smile, "I was only joking earlier. Let’s talk it over; no need to get upset over a slip of the tongue."
But just when Su Ran was about to tease the NPC more, a figure clad in black armor burst in.
Without a doubt, it was Shuxin.
"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained? What are you doing here?"
After such a long battle, Shuxin’s face was weary. Upon seeing Su Ran, her expression immediately darkened.
