102: Chapter 102 offers you an amazing discount!

When they heard Xu Xuan say a bottle of Antidote cost 10 grams of gold, Miyamoto Takeshi, Jack, and the others almost jumped.

On the chat channel.

[Miyamoto Takeshi: ?]

[Jack: WTF?]

[Li Shunyao: 10 grams a bottle? Shibal!]

[William: With this price, why don't you just rob us?]

[Zhou Wu: Back then, when you were robbing our Great Xia of its money, was it any less?]

[Zhou Mei: He's really... I'm crying my eyes out. He could have just robbed you, yet he's actually giving you goods. He's so conscientious.]

The siblings, Zhou Wu and Zhou Mei, were playing off each other.

First of all, being below the Floating Island, they were hit by fewer plague attacks.

Secondly, the siblings couldn't stand the faces of these foreigners.

Thinking back to when Great Xia was in trouble, the foreign powers all wanted to carve it up and devour it.

Now that Xu Xuan was selling a bottle of medicine for just 10 grams of gold, they were practically jumping in rage, as if the sky were falling.

Zhou Wu looked at these foreign lords and sneered, "Look at them. If they were the ones selling the Antidote, they wouldn't be saying this. They'd definitely be selling the medicine while mocking our Great Xia for being incompetent."

"Brother, these foreign devils are such double-standard hypocrites!"

The siblings gloated, enjoying the sight of these freeloaders grinding their teeth in hatred while being forced to cough up money for the medicine.

Some lords were more sensible, knowing they had no choice but to bite the bullet and buy the Antidote from Xu Xuan.

Otherwise, if the plague was allowed to spread through their troops until the whole army died of illness and turned into corpses, it would be a joke.

However, there were also some stubborn ones who were still trying to use rhetoric, acting as if Xu Xuan should give it to them for free.

The koreans Li Shunyao cursed loudly, "Don't you think Xu Xuan is going too far? He's actually profiting from a national disaster—no, profiting from the crisis of the human race!"

Others followed suit, nodding, "Yeah, Xu Xuan is going too far."

"We're all defending the human race; shouldn't he share his resources with us?"

"Exactly, he should let us onto the Floating Island to resist the Undead Legion's invasion together."

"This is too much. Charging money for this is truly disheartening."

Hearing this group of people whining and complaining, the smile on Xu Xuan's face grew even wider.

Standing on the high tower, Xu Xuan looked down at the group of foreign lords.

"You there, Li Shunyao, right?"

Li Shunyao, who was leading the trouble and trying to use the weight of public opinion to force Xu Xuan to give them free medicine.

He raised his head, "It's me! What of it? Am I wrong? Without us fighting bloodily down here, could you hold this Void Road-Bridge alone?"

Watching Li Shunyao jump around like a clown, using global opinion to try and get all the lords in the world to condemn Xu Xuan.

Facing this clown, Xu Xuan still wore a smile, looking at him with the gaze one would give to the mentally challenged.

"Li Shunyao, you like special treatment? Fine! I'll give you a smashing discount price: 50 grams of gold per bottle of Antidote."

When Xu Xuan said this, the siblings Zhou Wu and Zhou Mei burst out laughing; Zhou Mei almost snorted out her nose.

Smashing discount price indeed. What a 'smashing discount price.'

When Li Shunyao first saw the system translation, he was still grinning, thinking he had successfully used global opinion to pressure Xu Xuan.

But then the translation for '50 grams of gold per bottle' came through, and Li Shunyao's brain instantly stalled. He wondered if the system had translated it incorrectly.

"What? Your discount price for me is 50 grams a bottle? Where's the discount? Did the system's Chinese translation make a mistake?"

This idiot even scratched his head, thinking for a long time without understanding how 50 grams a bottle was a smashing discount price.

It wasn't until a koreans nearby who understood Chinese translated for him that Li Shunyao realized. His entire face turned red, and veins bulged.

"You dare sell it to me for 50 grams a bottle? Why don't you just rob me?"

As soon as Li Shunyao finished, Xu Xuan's lazy voice drifted down, "Then I'll give you another discount: 100 grams a bottle."

"You!! What kind of discount is that?! Aish..."

Li Shunyao's defenses instantly crumbled. It was originally 10 grams of gold per bottle, but now Xu Xuan had raised it tenfold, and he still had to buy it to save his life.

On the high tower, Xu Xuan explained with a calm face, "Because I didn't want to do business with you at all. But despite the fuss, business must be done. Giving you a price at all, isn't that a discount?"

Xu Xuan had long seen through this koreans, who wanted to use the global live stream to subject him to moral kidnapping.

Quite a few people felt Li Shunyao was right. Now was the time to fight the Undead Scourge; how could Xu Xuan have the nerve to charge money?

But for Xu Xuan, since he had no morals, he couldn't be kidnapped by them.

Sitting in his chair, Xu Xuan leaned lazily against the armrest, propping his chin with one hand and pointing at the screen with his right.

"After all, as cannon fodder, you should have the awareness of cannon fodder. Why don't you look at your record? What right do you have to say you're protecting the human race? Is it because of your laughable three thousand kills?"

At Xu Xuan's words, everyone noticed that Li Shunyao had only killed 3,000 Rotten Corpse in the second round.

In contrast, in the second round, Xu Xuan had killed 10 General-level Death Knight and over two hundred thousand Rotten Corpse and Floating Bone.

On one side, over two hundred thousand kills; on the other, less than 3,000.

Hmm?

Seeing this, Zhou Mei immediately began to mock him, "Wow, a lord with less than three thousand kills is actually defending all of humanity? You're so amazing!"

The other lords who had been making trouble saw Li Shunyao's performance and immediately turned their heads away, pretending not to know him.

Miyamoto Takeshi from Japan even began to laugh out loud, "Hahaha, I'm siding with Xu Xuan this time."

"Can someone stop being an embarrassment and get out of our way? Brother Xu Xuan, my gold is already prepared!"

Jack directly ordered people to push over a pile of gold, and the other lords also began to cough up money.

After all, the tide of public opinion had turned, and these great power lords never played a losing game.

Li Shunyao, who was just 'pleading for the people,' suddenly seemed to become a rat crossing the street.

People wouldn't offer help in times of need, but they certainly had the courage to kick a man while he was down and seal the well shut—and plenty of it.

Li Shunyao, who originally had a bunch of supporters, was now surrounded by looks of disgust. He pointed at the others in a fit of rage.

"You... you weren't saying that just now! I was trying to get cheap medicine for everyone! You... you guys..."

As he spoke, Li Shunyao looked up at Xu Xuan and pointed at him, shouting, "Xu Xuan!"

On the high tower, Xu Xuan tilted his head, "Hmm?"

Li Shunyao pointed at Xu Xuan, his face flushed. After hesitating for a long time, he suddenly broke into a fawning smile, "Brother Xuan, I admit I spoke a bit too loudly just now. Could you sell it to me a bit cheaper? 100 grams a bottle is too... too expensive."

"Alright, I'll give you another smashing discount price. Let's make it two hundred..."

Just as Xu Xuan raised his hand and held up two fingers, Li Shunyao fell to his knees with a thud, "Don't! Brother! Brother! Brother! 100 a bottle, 100 a bottle is fine!"

Those two fingers scared Li Shunyao into a cold sweat.

It really was a smashing discount price; as it doubled, his heart rate doubled along with it.
