33: Chapter 33 Teasing the Fool
"We're done for!!!"
The head of the trading post stared blankly at Chu Hong and Wang Suming, who suddenly hugged each other and wailed up at the sky, acting as exaggeratedly as if the sky had fallen and they were looking for their mothers.
He turned his head again to look at the person in front of him—a new Pioneer from No. 1 High School named Wu Gang.
At this moment, how could he still not know that Chu Hong and the others were completely just teasing a fool? But if you want to tease a fool, go ahead... why did you have to make your actions and expressions so exaggerated?
My karma... inhale... exhale...
The head of the trading post took a deep breath, looking at Wu Gang in front of him with as professional an expression as possible.
"Sir, please take out your collection items so I can evaluate them for you..."

The wails of Chu Hong and Wang Suming abruptly stopped as both of them leaned their heads over, as if wanting to get a closer look to see what was going on.
Wu Gang sneered, "You won't shed tears until you see the coffin."
He reached out and directly began pulling things out from his backpack.
[Item Name]: Lizardman Eyeball
[Item Grade]: Green
[Type]: Source Energy Substance
[Weight]: 0.3 kg
[Backpack Grid Capacity Occupied]: 1 × 1
[Item Description]: The eyeball of an ordinary Lizardman Warrior from the Thunder-Horned Lizardman tribe. It is an important alchemical material for making certain magic-side potions.
The person in charge opened his mouth, not yet having time to quote a price.
In front of the counter, the moment Wu Gang took out the item, Chu Hong and Wang Suming abruptly let out exclamations in unison.
Chu Hong leaned back tactically, clutching his head in shock, "Oh my god, this is actually a Lizardman Warrior's eyeball! This is a collection item of green quality!"
Wang Suming bent over in a breakdown, crying and wailing as he covered his face, "We're done for, Brother Hong, we're really finished. Class Monitor Wu is actually able to kill a Lizardman Warrior, so wouldn't killing me be as simple as pinching a little chick? Wuwuwu..."
Wu Gang was startled by the two people's abrupt and jumpy reactions.
However, immediately afterward, his face was filled with complacency and disdain.
Liu Yanyan at the side had eyes full of malice and a sneer.
"Now you know how to beg for mercy, what were you doing earlier?! Brother Gang, keep taking things out and let them open their dog eyes wide to see what kind of person they arrogantly offended!"
What kind of person they offended? The head of the trading post could already vaguely hear the muffled chuckles of the Pioneer guards coming from behind him.
He adjusted his breathing. Providing excellent service to high-level clients like Chu Hong was the training he had received ever since joining the job. With a calm expression and a business-like demeanor, he gently nodded.
"Green quality [Lizardman Eyeball], trading post acquisition price, 12,000 source energy points."
"Wow!!! Brother Hong! 12,000 source energy points! Exchanged for universal coins, it's enough to buy my life!" Fat man Wang Suming let out a wail like a slaughtered pig.
At this moment, outside the trading post, quite a few people watching the commotion had unknowingly gathered around.
And it was quite a coincidence.
These people were none other than that group of Pioneers who had just been watching Chu Hong and Wang Suming offload their goods earlier.
Some were secretly holding back their laughter, while others covered their faces and pursed their lips tightly.
Others nodded and offered "blessing" applause to Wu Gang and the others with full admiration.
Seeing that these senior Pioneers were actually applauding him, Wu Gang was flattered, and at the same time, the gratification and complacency in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
Like a champion standing on the podium, he nodded, waved, and smiled at the people watching from outside.
Only when the person in charge was almost unable to hold back his laughter did he continue to pull things out from his backpack.
[Collected Bamboo Flute (Green)]
"Ah! Another green collection item! I beg you, Class Monitor Wu, we were wrong. I beg you not to take out such high-level collection items anymore!" Tears burst from Wang Suming's eyes.
Amidst the wails, Wu Gang sneered and took out another collection item once more.
[Sapphire Bracelet (Blue)]
"No! No! Don't! Oh my god! It's actually blue quality! Whose life is this, this is my whole life!"
Chu Hong lay flat on the ground, striking the floor with his elbows in a breakdown.
His line-delivery foundation was just okay; compared to fat man Wang Suming, whose tears came whenever he wanted, there was simply no comparison.
Song Jiaojiao stood to the side.
Watching this scene, the corners of her mouth twitched. The few memories she had of Chu Hong's character in the past underwent a subverted change at this moment in her mind.
That campus idol Chu Hong, whose grades were always in the top ten, competed back and forth with her, and was frequently talked about by quite a few female classmates around her.
If those girls saw Chu Hong looking like this right now, would the sound of shattering glass echo in some of their hearts?
The complacent smile on Wu Gang's face had almost split to his ears.
Collection item after collection item began to be pulled out by him.
[Small Magic Lock (Blue)]
"My life is ruined!"
[Potion Stone Pot (Blue)]
"Wuwuwu, Mom and Dad, I've let you down. I haven't even left an heir for our family yet!"
[Bizarre Clay Sculpture (Blue)]
"Fatty, I've let you down, it's all my fault for dragging you down! Wuwuwu Pfft... Cough cough!"
Every time Wu Gang took out an item, Chu Hong or Wang Suming would immediately let out a loud, sorrowful wail, throwing out a "last will and testament" filled with regret and attachment to this world.
Soon, the counter of the trading post was filled with all sorts of collection items.
But they were all green or blue.
Even now, not a single purple-quality collection item had appeared.
The head of the trading post could hardly bear to watch anymore. Looking at Wu Gang, whose hand was shoved deep into his backpack as if he were charging up a big ultimate move, he forced a smile with some mental exhaustion.
"Mr. Wu, are there any more items?"
Wu Gang chuckled lightly, his gaze filled with extreme contempt as he stared at Wang Suming and Chu Hong, who were already looking a bit tired at the side, as if looking at dead people.
"Keep your eyes open in your next life!"
The onlookers couldn't help but facepalm upon hearing this, and Song Jiaojiao couldn't even bear to look anymore.
Amidst Wu Gang's expression full of pride and arrogance, he directly pulled out a delicate porcelain plate from his hand, exquisite all over and adorned with Persian-style patterns.
"Hahaha! Did you see that, Chu Hong! This is a high-level collection item of purple quality that I looted from a high-value resource point! Golden-Threaded Flower Porcelain Plate! Not some blue-quality painted dinner plate!"
"It is the [Golden-Threaded Flower Porcelain Plate] that can only be looted from the Lizardman chieftain's room!"
"Hahahaha!"
Wu Gang laughed up at the sky.
His laughter echoed grandly and heroically.
However.
Up until just now, whenever he took out a collection item—even if it was a green-quality collection item—the two of them, Chu Hong and Wang Suming, would wail in response and ingratiatingly beg for mercy.
This time, they were exceptionally quiet.
Not just them.
At this moment, the circle of surrounding Pioneers stopped applauding as well, all looking with a gaze of caring for the mentally handicapped, full of pity and sarcasm, at Wu Gang, who was holding a dinner plate and laughing inexplicably by himself.
"Wuwuwu..." Wang Suming whimpered twice, then blinked somewhat awkwardly and innocently.
"Brother Hong, what should we do? I really can't squeeze out any more tears."
Wu Gang was stunned. Beside him, Liu Yanyan, who finally realized something was amiss, swept her pretty face across the gazes of everyone present looking at them, a sudden ominous premonition welling up in her heart.
In front of the counter, the head of the trading post glanced at these things Wu Gang took out last.
He spoke indifferently.
"A total value of 450,000 source energy points... Is there anything you want to keep for collection? Our trading post provides mailing and consignment services."
