28: Three million orders

“That makes sense! With how they look, how could they possibly have one million? It must be fake money!”

“Daring to use fake money, they’re looking for death!”

“Heh heh, if the people from the Judgment Squad find out, they can forget about leaving Zhu Feng City alive.”

“Ignorant fools, absolutely idiotic.”

Everyone spoke up, their discussions endless.

They clearly believed the stall owner’s statement.

And it was true; rather than believing that Two People dressed like they were from the slums had one million, it was more believable that they were using fake money, which had higher credibility.

“Why aren’t you talking? Could it be that I’ve exposed you, and you’re speechless?”

“Hahahaha, I told you, you definitely can’t afford the Human-faced Bat wings.”

“I’ll immediately notify the Judgment Squad to arrest you. Daring to use fake money, you’re dead meat.”

The stall owner grew more and more smug, looking as if he had Shen Xi and the Two People completely in his grasp.

“Boss, you can verify if this money is real or fake.”

Shen Xi said, looking at the honest Fat Man.

Upon hearing this, the honest Fat Man didn’t refuse. He took the red gold coin in his hand, carefully inspected it, then held it up to the sun to identify the anti-counterfeit markings on the red gold coin.

After a good while of fussing, the honest Fat Man respectfully returned the red gold coin to Shen Xi and said, “This money is real. It is a genuine red gold coin worth one million.”

At these words, the entire place was in an uproar.

Everyone looked at the honest Fat Man in disbelief, speechless for a moment.

Could the honest Fat Man have made a mistake?

But soon, this suspicion was overturned.

“Oh right, for so long, I haven’t heard of any fake money being used!”

“I’ve never seen anyone dare to use fake money in Zhu Feng City.”

“Could it be that this red gold coin is real?”

“It must be. These Two People are actually truly wealthy individuals who keep a low profile.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, someone is looking down on others and is about to suffer!”

All sorts of voices rang out simultaneously.

Hearing these words, the stall owner’s face was as ugly as if he had eaten a dead rat.

He had offended Shen Xi and the Two People again and again; he was practically looking for death.

One must know that Shen Xi was not an ordinary person, but a wealthy individual who could casually take out a red gold coin to buy things.

Such a person was either rich or powerful. How could a small stall owner like him afford to provoke them?

Gulp!

The stall owner swallowed with difficulty, then refused to believe, “Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! You’ve all been deceived by this kid!”

The stall owner didn’t believe Shen Xi was wealthy.

Or rather, he dared not believe Shen Xi was wealthy.

If Shen Xi was truly rich and powerful, then he would be in big trouble.

“If you’re worried the red gold coin is fake, we can also trade items. This heavenly spirit stone, you can give it an approximate valuation!”

Shen Xi casually took out a ten-jin heavenly spirit stone from his storage bag.

As soon as it was taken out, the surrounding crowd immediately cast greedy gazes.

The market price of a heavenly spirit stone was about five hundred per gram. The output here in Zhu Feng City was relatively large, so the price would be a bit lower, but it still reached around four hundred eighty.

A ten-jin heavenly spirit stone was worth over two hundred thousand.

Just this one piece could compare to the Human-faced Bat wings Shen Xi had purchased.

Moreover, this was a treasure that could increase a Martial Artist’s Cultivate speed. No Martial Artist would miss out on such a thing.

“I didn’t expect this young man to actually have a heavenly spirit stone?”

“Now it’s confirmed, he is indeed a wealthy person, otherwise, how could he carry something worth over two hundred thousand with him?”

“The red gold coin must also be real.”

“A ready-made business was driven away. If I were the stall owner, I’d be regretting it bitterly.”

“Not only did he not make the sale, but he also offended someone. This is simply losing both the wife and the army.”

Everyone began to mock the stall owner.

Shen Xi should have been his customer, but he was directly pushed to the honest Fat Man.

“No problem, you can use any kind of transaction method you want. The Human-faced Bat wings have already been packaged for you.”

The honest Fat Man was so happy he could barely close his mouth.

This two hundred thousand order was as good as done.

His profit alone could reach as much as twenty to thirty thousand.

This was a considerable income.

Shen Xi nodded, paid the money, took the items, and did not leave.

He inquired, “I wonder if you sell the sap of the Glazed Tree, the Phoenix-tailed Snake’s...”

Shen Xi rattled off seven or eight Materials in one breath.

These were all essential for refining the stealth potion.

Shen Xi was not worried that the people present would obtain the stealth potion formula by knowing the Materials he listed.

For any kind of potion, if there was no formula, merely knowing the required Materials would absolutely not allow one to refine it.

The proportions were equally crucial.

Even if just one Material was a gram more or less, it would lead to refining failure.

Furthermore, the stealth potion formula was not a common, widely available formula on the market.

This was a formula that Wang Xiangui had obtained after countless hardships.

Unfortunately, Wang Xiangui met Shen Xi and unwittingly paved the way for him.

“Yes! We have all of these! However, I don’t have all the Materials on hand. It will take three days to prepare the stock. I wonder if you can wait a few days?”

The honest Fat Man inquired.

He naturally wanted to make this deal, after all, Shen Xi was a big client who spent lavishly.

But he was also worried about delaying Shen Xi’s matters, so he spoke upfront.

“Three days, right? No problem.”

Shen Xi readily agreed.

“It’s just... about... the deposit...”

The honest Fat Man said somewhat awkwardly.

These Materials were not cheap, and Shen Xi wanted a large quantity, totaling three million.

With the honest Fat Man’s net worth, he naturally couldn’t cover that much money all at once.

Moreover, if Shen Xi went back on his word and didn’t want them, wouldn’t he be stuck with them?

Shen Xi understood, and took out a few heavenly spirit stones.

“One million plus these few heavenly spirit stones will be my deposit. Once the items arrive, I will pay the remaining balance.”

The honest Fat Man nodded excitedly again and again: “No, no problem, I will definitely prepare all the items in the shortest possible time, you can rest assured.”

In just a few words, a three-million-dollar deal was settled.

Many people couldn’t help but gasp.

Is this what it’s like to be rich?

Shen Xi wasn’t worried that the honest Fat Man would run off, and straightforwardly paid almost half of the deposit.

Beside him, the stall owner’s eyes were red with envy.

From a three-million-dollar order, the honest Fat Man could earn at least three hundred thousand.

This profit should have been his!

The stall owner was so angry his teeth itched, and resentment surfaced towards both Shen Xi and the honest Fat Man.

All this money should have been his!
