128: Actress Silver King is online.
Hearing Lin Du's refusal, a strong look of disappointment flashed in Bei Chuan's eyes.
He said unwillingly, "Boss Ye, although I don't know what this stone is used for, judging by its description, it must be much more advanced than a top-grade Nine-Colored Crystal!"
"Otherwise, would you consider it again?"
This stone was spun by Bei Chuan on the Golden Turntable.
Its name and description were exceptionally grand!
Bei Chuan originally thought he had spun out something good, but he had kept it for almost a hundred years and still hadn't discovered its use.
Instead, it occupied his limited backpack space every day.
Bei Chuan had once inquired about this stone at many large merchant guilds, but no merchant guild in the entire Yunlong City could provide a reasonable answer.
Out of helplessness, Bei Chuan could only choose to sell the stone.
However, there were too few players willing to take it, and the prices offered by those who were willing were very low... Lin Du was a rising star in universe ol, having continuously set incredible records.
In Bei Chuan's opinion, Lin Du must be a scion from a top-tier influential family.
Such a person is never short on money and is inexperienced, making him an excellent target for a sale!
If he missed this chance, it would be hard to find another one... "Boss Ye, the appearance of this stone is definitely not inferior to a Nine-Colored Crystal, and it's very large and complete."
"If carefully carved, its value would definitely be much higher than a Nine-Colored Crystal!"
"You should really consider it again!" Bei Chuan coaxed.
Lin Du sneered inwardly.
This Bei Chuan was still thinking of swindling someone?
He couldn't possibly be taking your Grandpa Lin Du for a novice player, could he?
This time, Lin Du didn't refuse as quickly.
He showed a thoughtful expression and walked around the nine-colored snail emperor divine stone a few times.
"When you put it that way, it does make some sense."
"But, let's forget it!"
"Women in the game only recognize nine-colored crystals; everything else is useless, and might even be thrown away as trash..."
As soon as Lin Du said this, Bei Chuan immediately became anxious.
"Boss Ye, how could that be?"
"This stone is definitely a good item!"
"I've tried hacking at it with swords and knives, and it didn't leave a single mark. Nine-Colored Crystals can't do that!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Du's face instantly darkened.
"Are you messing with me? You just told me to carve it and give it to someone, and now you're saying swords and knives can't even break it?"
"If swords and knives can't even leave a mark, what good is thiswaste stone to me?!"
"Get out!"
Lin Du, furious, waved his hand, and a small tornado suddenly appeared at Bei Chuan's feet.
Just as the tornado was about to send Bei Chuan out of the merchant guild's door, a magnetic voice suddenly sounded behind Lin Du.
"Wait a moment, Boss."
The one who spoke was actually Silver King!
"Boss, I want this stone." Silver King said, staring at the stone.
Lin Du raised an eyebrow, "Little Silver, buying this useless stone would be a waste. What do you want it for?"
Silver King said, "I think this color is very beautiful, and I want to buy it for my collection."
Miss Bu Dong stared blankly at Lin Du and Silver King's conversation.
She kept feeling that Silver King was a bit off today, but couldn't pinpoint what exactly was wrong... Seeing that Silver King had an intention to buy, Bei Chuan quickly went to Silver King's side and began to introduce it.
"Beautiful lady, this stone is definitely a good item."
"If you want to buy it, I can sell it to you cheaper!"
Silver King asked, "How much cheaper is cheaper?"
Bei Chuan thought for a moment, then tentatively said, "How about 50,000 years of lifespan value?"
Upon hearing this price, Silver King said nothing and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Bei Chuan became anxious and quickly tried to stop Silver King.
"Wait! Beautiful lady!"
"If the price isn't suitable, we can still discuss it!"
Lin Du sneered and blocked Bei Chuan's path.
"You really dare to name a price; a broken stone actually demands 50,000 years of lifespan value."
"In my opinion, 500 years of lifespan value is already too much!"
Bei Chuan broke out in a cold sweat, "Boss Ye, please don't joke. How could such a precious item only be worth 500 years of lifespan value?"
"If this beautiful lady is truly sincere, I can take another step back: 30,000 years of lifespan value!"
"This is already the lowest price..."
Silver King frowned and looked at Bei Chuan.
"I don't absolutely need it. If your price is so high, then I can only give up."
Bei Chuan hurriedly asked, "Then how much do you want to pay?"
Silver King fell silent.
A moment later, she came before Lin Du.
"Boss, can you lend me 2,000 years of lifespan value?"
Lin Du narrowed his eyes slightly, "You still want to buy it?"
Silver King nodded gently.
"I have over 1,000 years of lifespan value in my hand. If you lend me another 2,000, that would be 3,000 years of lifespan value."
"If this gentleman thinks 3,000 years of lifespan value is acceptable, I can pay now!"
Lin Du looked at Silver King's serious expression and couldn't help but laugh.
"Little Silver, stop joking."
"The price you're offering is only one-tenth of his asking price. Do you think he'd sell it to you?"
"This broken stone isn't suitable for you; you should give up!"
Listening to their conversation, Bei Chuan was extremely conflicted.
Actually, the price of 3,000 years of lifespan value was already quite a bit higher than the quotes from those large merchant guilds before.
Bei Chuan firmly believed that the nine-colored snail emperor divine stone's price was certainly more than that, but he simply couldn't sell the stone for its true value. The nine-colored snail emperor divine stone, in his possession, could only lie in his backpack gathering dust... 30,000 years of lifespan value!
3,000 years of lifespan value!
The price difference was a full tenfold!
Lin Du's peripheral vision swept over Bei Chuan, then he calmly said to Silver King, "Little Silver, you see, this price is simply impossible. Go in and get to work!"
"Wait!"
At this moment, Bei Chuan suddenly raised his head.
He seemed to have made a difficult decision, gritting his teeth fiercely.
"Sell!"
"3,000 years it is!"
"Trade now!"
Upon hearing this, a look of joy appeared on Silver King's face. She immediately took Lin Du's card to complete the transaction with Bei Chuan.
The transaction was quickly completed!
Bei Chuan looked at the extra 3,000 years of lifespan value on the card, feeling both a sense of loss and some relief... Hong Jiu'er had been frowning throughout.
Lin Du and Silver King's performance just now didn't seem like acting at all, and it was impossible for them to have rehearsed it beforehand.
But her intuition told Hong Jiu'er that there was something wrong with this transaction!
There must be a big problem!
