31: Asara "Specialty" Wine Glass

“Alright, time is running out. Keep the usable equipment, and sell the rest.”

Liu Yan handed his backpack and firearms to Zhao Chuang, who was walking towards him.

The three of them headed to the Old Man at the Recycling Stall in the trading area, preparing to sell their items.

Not far from the recycling stall, the three heard a quarrel.

“You old geezer, hurry up and give me a refund!”

A young man angrily slammed an Asara specialty wine cup onto the table.

“Young man, why do you want to return it for no reason?”

The Old Man at the Recycling Stall quickly stood up, fawningly trying to calm the young man down.

“You old geezer, how dare you say that? Where did you get this thing from? It stinks of piss!” The young man looked displeased.

The Old Man at the Recycling Stall thought for a moment, then explained with a wide smile:

“Young man, is this your first time using it?”

The young man nodded suspiciously.

“Aha, that’s right! Guess why this cup is called a specialty wine cup? This is the unique flavor of Asara itself!”

“Don’t you think that with this kind of flavor, drinking wine has a special charm?”

Hearing this, a look of shame appeared on the young man’s face, but he stubbornly said:

“Of course I know about this specialty, it’s just that the flavor of your cup is too faint!”

“I spent over 60,000, I can’t just buy a cup whose flavor has almost dissipated, right?”

Hearing their conversation, Zhao Chuang indignantly prepared to step forward.

He had long been annoyed by this old man who spoke nonsense and swindled people.

“Wait!!”

Liu Yan, quick-witted, pulled him back.

“The two of us need to go back to school first to find Lin Han and the others.”

“Fuji can handle the recycling by himself.”

With that, Liu Yan pulled Zhao Chuang with all his might towards the school entrance.

Fuji didn’t think much of it, picked up the backpack and firearms that had fallen to the ground, and walked alone towards the recycling stall.

“Boss, how much for these things?”

Fuji dumped everything onto the table, interrupting their argument.

Seeing Fuji mess up his stall again, the Old Man at the Recycling Stall was about to curse him out when he saw a golden cup among the items.

The Old Man at the Recycling Stall, quick-eyed and quick-handed, snatched the cup.

After careful examination, he indeed saw the characteristic hair.

“Young man, a refund is out of the question, but if you add 10,000, I’ll sell you this brand new one!”

The boss handed the cup to the young man.

“The one you bought before was second-hand, its flavor had already dissipated, but this one is a 99% rare item!”

Seeing the young man hesitate, the boss continued to add fuel to the fire.

The young man picked a strand of hair from the cup and sniffed it hard.

“This is…” The Old Man at the Recycling Stall was about to explain, but was interrupted by the young man raising his hand.

“Don’t look down on me for being young, I’m an old collector too. This is an Asara specialty, used for infusing wine.”

With that, the young man sniffed the cup hard, revealing a look of satisfied praise.

“Old man, next time remember to save all these good items for me. My status in the collecting circle depends on you.”

The young man threw his original cup back to the Old Man at the Recycling Stall, then, cradling the brand new cup, he left contentedly.

“This…”

Fuji looked at the young man’s humming silhouette as he left, momentarily speechless.

He had watched with his own eyes as Liu Yan pulled that cup from his crotch.

“The circle is really chaotic.” Fuji shook his head.

“Calculate how much these are, I’m in a hurry.”

With that, Fuji didn’t forget to urge the Old Man at the Recycling Stall.

After all, the deposit competition was about to begin, and when Liu Yan and the others returned, they would still need to buy equipment.

The Old Man at the Recycling Stall, having been in business for many years, was already very experienced and quickly tallied the accounts.

“The value is roughly 2.65 million, I’ll give you 2.7 million this time.”

Before Fuji could be happy, the Old Man at the Recycling Stall extended his hand.

“Hey, don’t be in such a hurry.”

Looking around, the Old Man at the Recycling Stall leaned close to Fuji’s ear and whispered:

“I know you’re with that person. Tell him to get more of these items. This is a business opportunity, and I’ll share the profits with you.”

With that, the Old Man at the Recycling Stall patted Fuji’s shoulder, a mischievous smile on his face… School corridor.

Liu Yan and the other, emerging from the mist, immediately saw the crowd of students gathered before them.

And the most prominent among them was Lin Han, who was currently spewing saliva.

“I know everyone is angry, but I’m also helpless. After all, Liu Yan almost caused us to lose everything back then.”

“Now, it’s only natural for him to evade the deposit competition. I had already anticipated it.”

Seeing this, the surrounding students all showed expressions of disgust.

However, Liu Yan’s classmates, at this moment, were completely the opposite.

“Don’t listen to his nonsense! There was definitely an inside story to that Bakshi incident!”

“Exactly! God Yan didn’t evade the bounty competition. He just earned over 6 million in three rounds. He must be selling equipment right now!”

Several classmates of Liu Yan strongly defended him, but their weak voices were completely drowned out in the corridor.

“Stop being brainless fans. Did that good-for-nothing drug you?”

“Exactly, we’ve been waiting at the entrance for so long. Do you think he dares to show up?”

Gathering the students in the corridor to denounce Liu Yan was actually not Lin Han’s primary goal.

In fact, he didn’t want Liu Yan to evade it just like that. If he did, the special item he had specifically prepared would be wasted.

Even if his strength could crush Liu Yan, that wouldn’t be enough to completely shatter Liu Yan’s self-esteem.

He wanted Liu Yan to realize the gap in their capital!

“The deposit competition can begin. Time’s up.”

Liu Yan’s voice came from behind the door, behind Lin Han.

“God Yan!!!”

“I knew it, God Yan wouldn’t miss it. The deposit competition is just a way for God Yan to make money!!”

Seeing Liu Yan appear, the students who had been suppressed for a long time immediately burst into cheers.

Liu Yan’s appearance clearly somewhat surprised Lin Han.

This guy, was he really, as those classmates said, using these few short hours to earn the fees needed for the deposit competition?

No, I don’t believe it!

This guy must have gone in to get a loan! Yes! That’s it!

Thinking of this, Lin Han scoffed, mocking:

“I didn’t expect someone like you to not have a black credit record and still be able to get a loan.”

“And don’t say I’m not giving you a way out. All the classmates are here now.”

“As long as you publicly admit the truth about Bakshi back then, and give me 1 million as an apology, I can agree to cancel the deposit competition.”

At this moment, Guo Li also jumped out to echo:

“Exactly, for a poor guy like you, if you lose the deposit competition, how long would your mother have to solicit customers?”

As soon as these words came out, the two of them burst into laughter.

Some students who were watching the show also started laughing and joining in the commotion.

Upon hearing Guo Li’s insult, Zhao Chuang instantly rushed out, raising his foot to kick Guo Li away.

However, a figure had already passed Zhao Chuang before he could.
