33: Chapter 33 Ten Million Federal Dollars!
Arriving at the Beast Taming Mall.
Jiang Yun pushed open the glass doors and entered the lobby.
At a glance, he spotted the office of the person in charge of the resource exchange department.
The amount he needed to exchange this time was bound to be enormous.
So, Jiang Yun went directly to find the person in charge here.
This would be more secure.
And it would also be much faster.
Jiang Yun walked straight into the office.
Inside the office,
sat a woman wearing a teal suit.
Her hair was meticulously combed. She was looking down at her optical computer, cross-referencing data and occasionally jotting something down on paper with a pen.
This person was the supervisor in charge of resource exchange at the mall.
Liu Mei.
Having worked in the mall for ten years, what kind of customer hadn't she seen?
However, she didn't take the youth in the student uniform before her seriously at all!
“Little Brother, to exchange federal currency, you can just go to the small-amount windows on the third floor. I only handle transactions of several million or more here.”
Liu Mei had noticed Jiang Yun the moment he walked in.
Without even looking up, Liu Mei's pen tip glided across the paper, her tone carrying a hint of perfunctoriness.
She had seen many new students like Jiang Yun; at most, they would bring a few dozen Common attribute Spirit Stones to exchange for federal currency to supplement their household income.
At most, it would be a few thousand federal currency, which wasn't worth her personal attention at all.
Jiang Yun wasn't annoyed; he simply walked up to the counter.
He took a canvas bag out of his storage ring.
He placed it on the counter and pulled the zipper, revealing several types of attribute Spirit Stones inside.
“Supervisor Liu, I want to exchange these Spirit Stones. I wonder if this counts as a large amount?”
There were quite a few Spirit Stones in the canvas bag.
It contained earth attribute and wood attribute Spirit Stones. Beside them, several Spirit Stones shimmered with fine thunder patterns, and some were as transparent as crystal.
Only then did Liu Mei look up. She glanced at the bag, her expression still largely indifferent: “Oh? How many? If it's over five hundred, I can help you through the fast-track channel.”
Jiang Yun gave a calm smile.
“This is only a portion. I still have many more in my storage ring.”
“I've done a rough count: over three thousand earth attribute Spirit Stones, over two thousand five hundred wood attribute Spirit Stones, over eight hundred thunder attribute spirit stones, and over six hundred wind attribute Spirit Stones.”
Jiang Yun's voice was very calm.
But it was like a pebble thrown into still water.
The pen in Liu Mei's hand dropped onto the paper with a 'clack,' and a large blot of ink spread out.
She jerked upright, her eyes wide as she stared at the canvas bag in Jiang Yun's hand, filled with disbelief.
“You... how many did you say? Three thousand earth attribute? Eight hundred thunder attribute?”
One had to know that thunder attribute spirit stones were considered rare items even among special Spirit Stones. One could sell for three thousand federal currency; eight hundred stones meant 2.4 million.
Although earth attribute and wood attribute were cheaper at one thousand federal currency each, five thousand five hundred stones still amounted to 5.5 million.
Plus six hundred of those special wind attribute Spirit Stones—altogether, it was a full 9.7 million, just a hair's breadth away from ten million!
A brainstorm of calculations occurred in Liu Mei's mind.
Her attitude instantly pulled a 180-degree turn. A warm smile bloomed on her face as she hurried out from behind the counter, her tone softening significantly.
“Oh my! I've underestimated you, Little Brother. Quick, follow me to the VIP parlor. There are too many eyes and ears here; let's talk privately inside!”
As she spoke, she led Jiang Yun toward a corridor deep within the lobby, her heart churning with shock.
She thought to herself: this youth looks only sixteen or seventeen, how could he have so many Spirit Stones?
And so many with rare attributes!
Could he be a Young Master from some great Family, carrying resources with him while out for experience?
Liu Mei's heart was full of confusion.
But she was also extremely excited!
After all, this was a massive deal!
The VIP parlor was a small, exquisitely decorated room.
Inside were leather sofas and a mahogany coffee table. On the walls hung two decorative paintings made from Vicious Beast pelts.
After entering the VIP parlor,
Liu Mei said respectfully: “Little Brother! Now, please take out all the Spirit Stones you wish to sell!”
Jiang Yun didn't hesitate.
He nodded.
With a wave of his right hand, nearly ten thousand Spirit Stones appeared in the room.
Suddenly, the Spiritual Qi of various attributes in the room became dense.
Looking at the several piles of Spirit Stones stacked like small mountains,
even Liu Mei, who had seen much of the world, was shocked!
“Little Brother! Wait here! I'll calculate this properly for you right now!”
Liu Mei was beaming with joy.
As she spoke, she stepped forward and began to count, recording and calculating on paper, quickly arriving at the total.
“Three thousand earth attribute stones is 3.6 million, two thousand five hundred wood attribute stones is 2.75 million, eight hundred thunder attribute stones is 2.8 million, and six hundred wind attribute stones is 1.92 million. The total is 9.07 million federal currency!”
When Liu Mei announced the figure, her eyes were full of anticipation.
If this deal went through, her commission for this month would surely triple!
But Jiang Yun only nodded and said calmly: “Supervisor Liu, no rush. I also have some Vicious Beast corpses and beast cores to sell. Please help me estimate a price for those as well.”
“There's more?”
Liu Mei's eyes lit up instantly, and she nodded repeatedly.
“Of course, of course! Little Brother, what Rank of Vicious Beast do you want to sell? Is it Black Iron Third Tier or fourth tier? I guarantee I'll give you the fairest price!”
In her view, even if Jiang Yun had Vicious Beast corpses, they would be at most a few mid-tier Black Iron ones, adding at most a few hundred thousand more. But Jiang Yun's next words left her completely frozen in place.
“Over a dozen black iron fifth tier Nether Spiders, two Black Iron Sixth Tier Nether Spiders, one black iron seventh tier Netherworld Spider King, and one black iron seventh tier Icefield Snake corpse, along with its beast core.”
Jiang Yun's tone remained flat.
But Liu Mei felt as if she'd been struck by lightning. She stood up so abruptly that the sofa slid back half a meter.
“You... what did you say? black iron seventh tier? And more than one?”
Liu Mei's voice was filled with shock. She reached out, pointing at Jiang Yun, unable to speak a complete sentence for a long time.
“Little Brother, you're not joking, are you? In the wild, black iron seventh tier Vicious Beasts are something even a seventh tier Beast Tamer would struggle to hunt. You're so young...”
As her voice trailed off,
her gaze finally began to seriously size up Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun was wearing a student uniform, but his eyes were exceptionally steady. His body faintly carried a slight scent of blood—an aura that only came from battling Vicious Beasts.
Liu Mei's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Could this youth really be a Young Master from some great Family!
Being able to hunt black iron seventh tier Vicious Beasts at such a young age, he was definitely a Genius among Beast Tamers!
“Supervisor Liu, I'm not joking with you.”
“If you don't believe me, I can take the corpses out for you to see right now.”
As Jiang Yun spoke,
he prepared to release those Vicious Beast corpses immediately.
“Wait, wait, wait!”
Liu Mei waved her hands hurriedly, her enthusiasm growing even more, now tinged with a bit of awe: “I believe you! Of course I believe you! It's just that the VIP parlor can't fit so many Vicious Beast corpses. I'll take you to the warehouse; it's spacious there, making it easier to count!”
She completely dared not look down on Jiang Yun now. She had only one thought in mind: she must serve this God of Wealth well; there might be more opportunities for cooperation in the future!
Liu Mei led Jiang Yun through two corridors to the warehouse on the first basement floor of the mall.
This place was as large as two basketball courts. The floor was paved with anti-slip tiles, and piles of Vicious Beast pelts waiting to be processed were stacked in the corners.
Jiang Yun walked to the center of the warehouse and waved his hand. Over a dozen Nether Spider corpses and various other Vicious Beast corpses from his storage ring instantly appeared on the ground. The largest, the Netherworld Spider King, was a full two meters long, with traces of fire burns remaining on its black carapace.
The Icefield Snake corpse beside it was even more startling. Its seven-to-eight-meter-long body had pale blue scales shimmering with a cold light, and the wound at its vital seven-inch mark was clearly visible.
Liu Mei stood rooted to the spot, her eyes wider than before, hands over her mouth, even forgetting to breathe.
The Vicious Beast corpses on the ground were piled like a small mountain. Every single one radiated the aura of a high-tier Black Iron beast. Especially that Icefield Snake and the Netherworld Spider King—the corpses alone could sell for a lot of money!
She hurried over, squatting down to inspect them closely. Her fingers brushed over the Icefield Snake's scales and touched the Netherworld Spider King's carapace, as she muttered incessantly: “Good stuff! All good stuff! These Icefield Snake scales can be made into defensive armor, and the Nether Spider silk can be made into binding ropes...”
Jiang Yun stepped forward.
He took out the beast cores.
“These are the beast cores I want to sell. Please calculate them as well.”
Liu Mei nodded and took the beast cores.
The Icefield Snake's beast core made her cry out in amazement.
“The ice attribute spiritual power purity of this Icefield Snake beast core is too high! It's probably comparable to a hundred ice attribute Spirit Stones!”
“This beast core is also not bad! And this one! This is probably worth a million as well!”
Liu Mei busied herself for over half an hour.
Finally, she finished calculating the prices. Holding the settlement sheet, she walked over to Jiang Yun, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.
“Little Brother, for the Vicious Beast corpses: fifteen black iron fifth tier Nether Spiders at eighty thousand each is 1.2 million; two Black Iron Sixth Tier Nether Spiders at one hundred and fifty thousand each is three hundred thousand; one black iron seventh tier Netherworld Spider King is five hundred thousand; and one Icefield Snake is six hundred thousand. The total for corpses is 2.6 million! As for the beast cores: fifteen fifth-tier cores at fifty thousand each is seven hundred and fifty thousand; two sixth-tier cores at two hundred thousand each is four hundred thousand; two seventh-tier cores at six hundred thousand each is 1.2 million. This Icefield Snake core is a bit special, so I'm giving a price of one million. The total for beast cores is 3.35 million!”
Liu Mei took a deep breath.
She announced the final figure, her eyes full of excitement.
“Adding the previous 9.07 million from the Spirit Stones, the total is 9.07 million plus 2.6 million plus 3.35 million, totaling 15.02 million federal currency!”
