31: Chapter 31 Double Yolk Combination
Song Jiaojiao was stunned, clearly not expecting Chu Hong to refuse.
"Are you sure? The Longming Sacred Academy assessment is no child's play. Without any experience..."
Chu Hong waved his hand, interrupting her.
"I'm sure."
As he spoke, he pulled Wang Suming and continued walking toward the camp's trading post.
Song Jiaojiao stood in place, watching the backs of the two, her brows tightly knitted.
"Eldest Miss, these two people don't know what's good for them. Why must you..."
A guard couldn't help speaking up, but was stopped by a wave of Song Jiaojiao's hand.
"Follow them and take a look."
From the very beginning, she felt that this fellow Chu Hong carried a bit of weirdness. It wasn't to say that she discovered Chu Hong's golden finger, but rather... Chu Hong was too confident!
Ever since entering the camp, he hadn't even stayed behind or tried to contact some Pioneers for escort, but straight up brought Wang Suming into the secret realm.
The whole process was like returning to his own residential compound...
She wanted to see what kind of backbone these two people had to dare refuse such good conditions from her.
...
Camp Trading Post.
This was a crude wooden shed with several tables inside, responsible for acquiring the collectibles that the Pioneers brought back from the secret realm.
This could be considered an office of the Pioneers Guild. Not only did it have dedicated Pioneers guarding here, but every once in a while, it also needed to make communication reports to Huangshan Base City to confirm the safety of the trading post here in the camp.
At this moment, there wasn't many people in the trading post, and the person in charge was dozing off leaning on the table.
"Thump, thump, thump."
Chu Hong knocked on the table.
The person in charge gave a start, raised his head, and rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"You two, offloading goods or buying things?"
"Offloading goods."
As Chu Hong said this, he took off the backpack behind him.
Wang Suming also hurriedly followed suit, placing two 45-slot oversized backpacks on the table.
With two "bang" sounds, the heavy, clearly heavily-loaded sound instantly made the person in charge, who was still somewhat sleepy-eyed, light up his eyes.
"You two, as long as it's collectibles produced from the secret realm, our place can settle the payment immediately, and if you want to return to the base city, we can also arrange a dedicated escort convoy..."
He didn't look down on them just because Chu Hong and the other looked young.
In the Pioneer profession, age doesn't matter much. Some people's initial skills are just awesome; every time they enter the secret realm, they can steadily come out carrying a full load of collectibles.
Before he finished speaking, he was stunned.
Because Chu Hong had already started taking things out of his backpack.
[ Orc Empire Silver Coin (Purple) ]
[ kali fruit (Purple) ]
[ Bone Horn (Purple) ]
[ Intermediate Mana Recovery Potion (Purple) ]
[ Lizard Sharp-Eye Potion (Purple) ]
...
One piece, two pieces, three pieces...
Piece after piece of purple-quality collectibles were pulled out of the backpack by Chu Hong and neatly placed on the table.
The eyes of the person in charge widened more and more, his mouth open wide enough to fit an egg.
"Th-this, this, this..."
He stuttered, unable to even speak clearly.
Wang Suming wasn't idle either, similarly pulling things out of his own backpack.
[ kali fruit (Purple) ]
[ Painted Dinner Plate (Blue) ]
[ Bone Horn (Purple) ]
[ ... ]
"Purple, they are actually all purple-tier collectibles?!"
His voice changed pitch a bit due to trembling, but the commotion immediately caused the Pioneer Squad on duty today at the trading post to be on high alert.
The gazes of these people looking at Chu Hong and Wang Suming instantly turned into admiration and reverence.
Wang Suming chuckled with a smug look on his face.
On the other hand, Chu Hong had a calm expression. After taking out these items for sale, he looked at the person in charge and asked.
"I heard that the secret realm's outer camp trading post also has storage and cargo escort services, right?"
The person in charge was stunned, and then seemed to realize something.
His face gradually flushed red with excitement and anticipation.
"Yes, little brother, our trading house is backed by the Pioneers Guild. Storage and escorts are guaranteed. Even if items are lost, as long as you can produce the storage receipt, you can directly claim compensation from the guild's base city office. Even red-tier collectibles will be compensated by the guild."
As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help glowing as he watched Chu Hong's hand already reaching into his backpack.
However.
This time, what brought him a surprise was not Chu Hong, but.
"Hhahahaha! Tada!" When Wang Suming smugly and suddenly pulled out a gold nugget that was golden all over with both hands from his backpack, a large crowd of Pioneers near the camp trading post was instantly attracted over.
The sound of sharp intake of breath was clearly transmitted into his ears.
"Hiss! F*ck! It's a gold nugget! A two-by-two four-slot big gold!"
"Damn... Isn't this fatty's luck a bit too good? Last time in the [ Thunder-Horned Lizardman Tribe ] secret realm, the one who fished out this gold nugget seemed to be the Rose Pioneer Squad, right?"
"Can that compare? Rose brushed this secret realm back then for a full month! Only to drop just one piece!"
Everyone went crazy wanting to step forward, but they were warned by the trading post Pioneer Squad guarding the surroundings and stopped outside the trading post door.
"Don't push! Those in the back, don't push!"
"F*ck! It really is a gold nugget! Brother, you've struck it rich!"
"Little brother, can you sell this gold nugget to our Sacred Heart Pioneer Team? We can offer a high price!"
"Sir, our Shazhou Pioneer Squad can offer 600k Source Energy Points! Cash on delivery, goods delivered!"
"..."
Wang Suming was unwilling. This was the precious treasure he fished out from the very first container in his life.
Even if he died in the future, he would never sell this gold nugget.
Let alone... following Brother Hong means eating nine meals a day!
"I'm not selling! Send this gold nugget back to Huangshan Base City for me!"
Wang Suming took out his ID card. He could already imagine what expression his parents would have when they saw this gold nugget at that time.
Wouldn't they directly enshrine this thing together with the ancestral tablet?
Thinking of this, Wang Suming couldn't suppress the smile on his face no matter what.
And right at this moment, Chu Hong finally took out his items.
[ Thunder-Storage Ring (Gold) ]
When that ring flashing with golden light was placed on the table, the trading post, which was previously filled with endless noise, instantly quieted down.
The golden light reflected on the sluggish face of the person in charge, looking exceptionally comical.
"G-Gold... It's actually another gold-quality collectible! And it's even a precious accessory item!?"
The person in charge, with trembling hands, picked up the ring and carefully inspected it.
"That's right, it's a gold-quality collectible! The [ Thunder-Storage Ring ] from the Thunder-Horned Lizardman secret realm! Market price is at least 800k Source Energy Points!"
In terms of single-slot value, the [ Thunder-Storage Ring ] in Chu Hong's hand directly crushed Wang Suming's gold nugget.
"Sir, this [ Thunder-Storage Ring ], are you really not considering selling it? Our trading post can offer you a high price!"
His voice was trembling.
If this transaction succeeded, his bonus would also be very handsome, and... working at the trading post, the amount of high-level collectibles acquired was directly inseparable from future high or low positions.
And at this moment.
At the entrance of the trading post.
Song Jiaojiao stood there, her whole person as if petrified, motionless.
When she originally saw Chu Hong and Wang Suming take out that table full of blue and even purple collectibles, her little cherry mouth had already been startled enough to swallow an egg.
At this moment.
When seeing the two of them each holding a gold-quality collectible.
Especially after seeing the [ Thunder-Storage Ring ] taken out by Chu Hong, she could no longer control herself.
"Classmate Chu Hong, Classmate Chu Hong..."
She anxiously waved her hands and shouted toward Chu Hong in the crowd.
However.
How loud were the surrounding voices? As one of the few magic-side secret realms around Huangshan Base City, which Pioneer Squad operating and engaging in activities in this camp year-round wasn't a magic-side Pioneer team similar to the Rubiks Chamber of Commerce?
At this moment, the excited shouting of bids and arguments suppressed Song Jiaojiao's voice, making it completely unable to be transmitted out.
But fortunately, Chu Hong temporarily did not have the intention of selling this gold-quality item.
He directly chose the storage service here at the trading post.
He needed to openly get himself some well-known high-level collectibles so that when he took out even better things later, it wouldn't be too eye-catching.
