127: Ye Tianjin is a role model for us all!

"Nine-Colored Crystal" is a top-tier luxury item in the game, a favorite among noble ladies and young misses of prestigious families.

It has no special function; its only characteristic is its exquisite beauty.

The wealthy on Ancestral Star have long grown tired of real-world diamonds and gold; what they play with now are the more sophisticated Nine-Colored Crystals.

In terms of both appearance and value, Nine-Colored Crystals completely outclass diamonds and gold!

Lin Du thought for a long time, considering Sister Goddess of Luck's status, only the most exquisite Nine-Colored Crystals could barely match her identity... Lin Du has been a hot topic in Yunlong City recently, so after he posted his message, he quickly received responses from players.

However, these responses didn't seem very serious... "Boss Ye is suddenly collecting Nine-Colored Crystals, and even top-grade ones. Could it be that he's going to give them to some woman?"

"Does that even need to be said? Red Wine has already been 'conquered' by Boss Ye. Presumably, Boss Ye's next target should be Brown-Eyed Beauty."

"Boss Ye is truly a winner in life! He actually managed to get two women of this caliber!"

"I heard that Red Wine even quit her guild to wash Boss Ye's feet. Boss Ye really has good methods!"

"Night Ember is a role model for our generation..."

Looking at the outrageous information on the World Chat Channel, a black line appeared on Lin Du's forehead.

He wondered where this evil trend came from!

It was simply too absurd.

While the information on the World Chat Channel was absurd, there were also players genuinely selling top-grade Nine-Colored Crystals.

Many players sent private messages to Lin Du, showing him various styles of Nine-Colored Crystals.

Lin Du looked at some of them and passed on every single one.

The size and shape of the Nine-Colored Crystals these players sent were far from Lin Du's expectations.

Since he was creating a statue for Sister Goddess of Luck, he couldn't possibly make a statue that was only the size of a fist, could he?

Lin Du's idea was to create a 1:1 scale statue of the goddess of luck!

Top-grade Nine-Colored Crystals are very, very expensive, and Lin Du was already prepared for a major expense... Lin Du had been waiting for almost half an hour, but no suitable top-grade Nine-Colored Crystals had appeared.

Red Wine was still washing Lin Du's feet.

She kept her head deeply bowed, revealing her exaggerated cleavage.

It must be said, Red Wine was a stunner; her exquisite figure combined with her charming face could definitely make every man's imagination run wild.

Although her attire was quite revealing, she didn't have the air of a woman of the night; instead, she exuded an aura of noble elegance... Red Wine's hands had been soaking in the water for a long time and had turned a bit pale.

Lin Du glanced at them and felt a slight pang of sympathy.

"Miss Red Wine, are you hungry?"

Red Wine looked up, her face sullen, "What do you want to do?"

Lin Du curled his lips.

"What I mean is..."

"If you're not hungry, then please use some force!!"

Whoosh—

Red Wine was about to explode with anger, feeling her dignity severely insulted.

No, at this moment, she no longer had any dignity.

All her dignity was being trampled under Lin Du's feet!

..."Boss Ye, I heard you're looking to buy top-grade Nine-Colored Crystals!"

"I don't have Nine-Colored Crystals here, but I do have something similar. Would you like to take a look?"

Outside the Night Market Chamber of Commerce, a burly middle-aged player approached Lin Du.

The player's name was "Bei Chuan," and his equipment and attire were splendid and uncommon. Behind his name was the emblem of the Peak of the Forbidden City guild.

Bei Chuan was stunned when he saw Red Wine.

"Hall Master Red Wine, why are you here?"

"Are you..."

Bei Chuan had just logged into the game and didn't know what had happened.

Seeing Red Wine washing Lin Du's feet, Bei Chuan was dumbfounded... Red Wine was too ashamed to look up.

"I've already left the Peak of the Forbidden City, you don't need to call me Hall Master anymore!"

Bei Chuan was astonished.

Red Wine then said, "If you're here to make a deal with Night Ember, I advise you to reconsider carefully."

"Night Ember devours people without spitting out bones; he'll trick you out of everything!"

Lin Du looked at Red Wine speechlessly.

This woman was already in such a state, yet she still dared to ruin his good fortune?

She really didn't learn her lesson!

Lin Du felt it was necessary to increase the 'intensity' for Red Wine in the future... After Red Wine's reminder, Bei Chuan hesitated, standing rooted to the spot, and thoughts of leaving arose in his mind.

Seeing this, Lin Du stepped out of the foot basin barefoot.

Splash—

His two large feet stepped out of the basin, splashing water all over Red Wine's head and face.

Under Red Wine's disheveled and angry gaze, Lin Du enthusiastically put his arm around Bei Chuan's shoulder.

"Miss Red Wine has held a grudge against me because of the contract, and her words are mixed with too much personal emotion, so you really need to consider carefully."

"Let's just look at the item first. If you think my price isn't suitable, then you can just turn around and leave."

The item in Bei Chuan's hand had been stored for a long time.

Today was a rare opportunity, and Bei Chuan was indeed swayed by Lin Du's words.

Lin Du immediately saw through Bei Chuan's concerns.

He smiled and continued, "Miss Red Wine has already fallen out with Qilin Immortal Venerable and has no further connection with the Peak of the Forbidden City. Why do you need to worry so much?"

"It's a bastard not to make money!"

"'lifespan value' is the most real thing!"

Lin Du's words struck a chord in Bei Chuan's heart.

After a moment of internal struggle, Bei Chuan cupped his fist towards Red Wine, whose face was grim.

"My apologies, Miss Red Wine."

"This item in my hand has never been sold, and today I have a rare opportunity to sell it. I don't want to miss it for nothing!"

"Please forgive me!"

Lin Du listened to Bei Chuan's words from the side, his expression unchanged, but he secretly cursed him as a "fool" in his heart.

This Bei Chuan clearly had no experience selling things!

What seller would belittle their own treasure?

His saying that the item in his hand couldn't be sold in front of Lin Du undoubtedly gave Lin Du a reason to drastically lower the price... Bei Chuan insisted on making the transaction, so Red Wine couldn't say much more.

She wiped the water droplets from her face and hair and stood aside with a sullen expression.

"Boss Ye, this is the item I was talking about!"

Bei Chuan waved his hand, and a milky white jade appeared before Lin Du.

The jade was taller than a person, uniformly presenting a warm, milky white color.

Under the sunlight, one could faintly see a shimmering circle of ethereal nine-colored divine light emanating from around the jade, truly extraordinary... [Item]: nine-colored snail emperor divine stone

[Level]: None

[Introduction]: A divine stone left behind when Nuwa mended the heavens, possessing the ability to communicate with deities, a true stone of the gods.

The moment he saw the jade, Lin Du's pupils constricted sharply, and his heart pounded violently.

Before Bei Chuan and Red Wine could notice anything unusual, Lin Du's expression quickly returned to normal.

Lin Du reached out and symbolically touched the jade a few times.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he shook his head with some regret.

"I'm sorry."

"This stone looks very good, but it's not the top-grade Nine-Colored Crystal I need."

"So, I apologize."
