Chapter 125: Why Are You Slandering Me! Speaking of the USB the God of Guns gave him, Wang Teng suddenly remembered the illegible map he drew. Erm… Well, he could call it a map for now. Wang Teng suddenly got invigorated. He went online and started searching based on the design of the map. However… Half an hour later, he couldn’t find a place that corresponded to the map. His efforts were all in vain. Damn it, did I get fooled by him again? Huh… Why did I use the word ‘again’? Wang Teng shook his head. Forget it. Why am I arguing with a mental patient? I wonder how much I can earn from this trip to the Xingwu Continent??Wang Teng pondered silently. Because of the explosion by the Fire God Cannon, his shield was broken and his battle uniform was ruined. He wouldn’t be able to use them again. Those things had cost him a few million. He felt his heart hurting just thinking about it. But, reality proved that the shield and the battle uniform were able to protect his life during critical times. Hence, he had to buy them again once they were spoiled. I don’t think I have enough money. Let’s buy them after the leader sells off the battle spoils. Wang Teng counted what was left of his money. Zhao Gangbao gave him 10 million as compensation, and he earned 3 million from selling the volcano salamander. It seemed like a lot, but Wang Teng wanted to buy something better. Protecting his life was the most important! Then, there was the Shooting Star Spiral as well. He must forge it as soon as possible. The Shooting Star Spiral was a unique trump card. His power would be heavily discounted if the weapon that could unleash his potential wasn’t present. Wang Teng immediately contacted Master Lu: Are you there? Master Lu: Yes, dear. I’ve already completed examining the blueprint of the Shooting Star Spiral. This sentence was followed by a smiley face that was laughing hysterically. Wang Teng asked: Can you make it? Master Lu: No! … Wang Teng felt the veins on his forehead popping out.?Why are you laughing when you can’t do it! Master Lu: But, I showed it to my senior brother. He said that it’s a piece of cake for him (*^▽^*) This was followed by a ‘please praise me’ emoticon. Wang Teng: Can you complete your sentence at once next time? Master Lu: No problem dear φ(>ω<*) Wang Teng felt helpless. Wang Teng: How am I supposed to pass the materials to you? Master Lu: The materials are indeed rare. It’s better to hand them over personally. Wang Teng raised his eyebrows. Were they going to meet face to face? Wang Teng didn’t mind. As the official partner of Jixin Martial House, Master Lu was worth trusting. Wang Teng: How should I look for you? Master Lu: There’s no need to look for me. Look for my senior brother. He’s helping someone forge his weapon in Donghai. I’ll send you his address and phone number. You can contact him directly, dear. Wang Teng: Alright. The other party sent him a phone number. Wang Teng dialed the number and arranged to meet the person tomorrow afternoon. … The following day, at 9 am, Wang Teng arrived at Jixin Martial House and joined Lin Zhan and the rest of his teammates. “He’s here!” Lin Zhan walked over. “We’ll go to the third floor. The star beast material transaction zone is there.” Wang Teng nodded. When the group arrived on the third floor, they walked past the corridor and stopped in front of a door. The transaction room! These were the three words written on the door. They entered the room. It was extremely spacious. More than ten staff were arranging all kinds of star beast materials on the empty ground on the right side. They seemed really busy. Directly facing the door was a row of tables. A few people were sitting behind the tables. There were two small teams of martial warriors selling their ingredients. They were bargaining with the staff behind the table. “Let’s wait for a moment,” Lin Zhan said. Wang Teng and his teammates nodded. After some time, one of the two teams finished their transaction and turned around. They had satisfied expressions on their faces as they prepared to leave. “Huh? Lin Zhan, I heard that you were grooming a newbie. Why are you back so early?” The leader of the team was a middle-aged man. He was stunned when he saw Lin Zhan. “An accident happened, so we had to return first,” Lin Zhan replied with a bitter smile. “Why? Is the newbie disobedient?” The middle-aged man frowned. “I advised you against it, you know. He’s the top scholar of the martial arts exam. He’s definitely someone hard to deal with. He will be huge trouble for you once you let him into your team.” Wang Teng: … He got reprimanded for no reason! Wang Teng felt extremely wronged. He looked at the man with hidden bitterness. How did I provoke you? Why must you slander me! “Old Zhao, you are wrong this time. If it wasn’t for this newbie, we wouldn’t have been able to come back.” Lin Zhan pulled Wang Teng out to the front and continued, “Look, this is the top scholar of the martial arts exam, a 1-star martial warrior. He’s not like the other newbies who only drag people down. He has genuine skill. Of course, the most important thing is, he is really… sinister!” -_-|| At first, Wang Teng was happy. Toward the end, though, he was caught off guard by Lin Zhan. Really sinister! F**k, how am I sinister? I’m such a straightforward and down-to-earth person. I work hard, yet you said I’m sinister! There’s no need to speak anymore. Let’s sever our relationship! We are not friends from now on! That middle-aged man looked at Wang Teng in surprise. His teammates also sized Wang Teng up curiously. “Is he really as sinister as you said?” “Of course.” Lin Zhan nodded seriously. …The corners of Wang Teng’s lips twitched. He was on the verge of blowing his top. Is this enough! Are you done? “Good fellow. This is the first time Lin Zhan praised someone like this.” The middle-aged man raised his thumb. “Coming back, what did you meet?” “Don’t mention it. We met a 4-star star beast.” The middle-aged man gasped in shock. “You’re really unlucky.” “I’ve heard this sentence no less than five times after I came back. As a martial warrior, there’s no such thing as being unlucky. This is the path we chose,” Lin Zhan said. “I need to sell my materials. Talk to you again soon.” “Looks like your gains are not bad. Let me take a look at them,” the middle-aged man smiled and said. “We suffered such a huge loss. How can we not have any gains?” Lin Zhan arrived in front of the transaction desk and poured all the materials out. “Wow, this is the horn of a star beast. There’s a star core too!” The middle-aged man exclaimed. The transaction staff raised his head in astonishment too. Then, he asked, “Are you selling everything?” “That’s right. Please count them.” The staff nodded and started counting the items. At the same time, he inspected the items and gave them an estimated price tag. “The claws are 7 million. The horn is 12 million. The star core is 50 million. “The claws of the gale wolves will be 6 million in total. “The fangs of the earth armor pig will be 1 million, its armor is 2 million, and its star core will be 11 million.” … “Do you have any objections regarding this price?” asked the staff after giving his estimate. “The price of the single-horn denglong star core is too low. That’s a 3-star beast. It should be at least 70 million.” Lin Zhan shook his head. “50 million is already very high. I quote you this much because it’s a 3-star star beast core. If you sell it outside, you might not be able to get this price,” the staff replied. “No way, our team suffered many losses in order to kill this single-horn denglong.” Lin Zhan shook his head continuously. “How about this? Since we are all members of Jixin Martial House, I’ll give you 60 million,” the staff hesitated before answering. “A little higher!” “This is the highest I can go!” Lin Zhan exchanged glances with his teammates. They looked as though they were losing 10 billion. He gritted his teeth and nodded. “Sigh, alright. I will take this price. Transaction staff like you are like vampires. 60 million is definitely not your limit.” “Brother, if you want to eat meat, you have to leave some soup for us,” the staff replied with a forced smile. Lin Zhan snorted. After finishing the transaction, everyone walked out of the room and started splitting the gains. “By right, I should be getting 30%. Liu Yan, Yang Fei, Yan Jinming, and Yan Jinyue will get 15%, while Wang Teng gets 10%. However, Yang Fei got into an accident, so I decided to take only 10% this time. I’ll give 15% to Yang Fei and the other 5 % to Wang Teng to thank him for saving us,” Lin Zhan said. “Leader, how can you do that? You can’t bear everything yourself,” Liu Yan said. “That’s right. Why don’t we reset the distribution ratio entirely? Yang Fei can take 40%, Wang Teng will get 20%, and we will all take 10%,” Yan Jinming said. “I don’t need so much.” Wang Teng felt a little embarrassed to receive such a high share. After all, he had already gotten a space ring from the young man as well as the Fire God Cannon. Lin Zhan and his teammates didn’t covet it and gave it to him directly. “Yang Fei can take 50%. I will take 10% just like the rest of you. After all, I’ve already had many gains.” “Okay, let’s stop arguing. We will follow this percentage.” Lin Zhan had the final say. Liu Yan and the other team members didn’t have any more to add. Once Wang Teng chose to give his 10% to the injured Yang Fei, their impression of him rose again. They treated him more like their teammate. “I went to check yesterday night. There’s an auction three days later. It will be a grand auction held by one of the top ten international auction houses, Bangde. “Many important people will be at the auction. In fact, we’re lucky this time. Let’s auction this star bone. It will definitely fetch a good price.” Lin Zhan smiled as he spoke. “The Bangde Auction House? And a grand auction at that! It’s a rare occasion that might only happen once every few years,” Yan Jinming said in astonishment. “That’s why I said that we’re lucky,” Lin Zhan replied. “There will be many important people. Will we get targeted by someone?” Wang Teng frowned and asked. “You don’t have to worry about that. The identity of the owner of the auction item will be kept a secret. They have never lost their credibility after so many years. If not, they won’t be able to become one of the top ten auction houses,” Lin Zhan replied. “That’s true. Even some bidders who don’t want to show their faces can hide their identities too. I’ve never heard of anyone’s identity getting exposed.” Liu Yan agreed. “Also, the star bone might seem priceless to us, but to these wealthy and important people, it is just a small fraction of their wealth,” Yan Jinming said. “That’s right. The world of wealthy people is not something we can imagine.” Liu Yan lamented. …Wang Teng suddenly felt that he might be a poor lad. What rich second generation? He wouldn’t bring this identity out anymore! It was embarrassing! “It’s decided then. Let’s bring the star bone there now and sign the agreement. After that, we will only have to wait for the auction three days later,” Lin Zhan said. Thus, the team went to the Bangde Auction House. When the auction house manager heard that someone had come with a star bone, he hurriedly went out to welcome them. He brought everyone to a meeting room and poured some tea. He said with a pleasant smile on his face, “Everyone, are you planning to sell the star bone?” Lin Zhan didn’t say anything. He just took out the star bone. “Quick, ask Old Xu to come.” The eyes of the manager lit up. He ordered the staff beside him. After some time, an old man strode into the meeting room. “Where is the star bone? Hurry up, and let me take a look.” … Half an hour later, the group walked out in a jovial mood. Their star bone would be the seventh last item to be auctioned. This position was enough to show how much importance the auction house placed on their item. They would definitely get a good price for it.
