Request, big money

Lin Xuan invited Chen Wanqiu into the living room.

Of course.

It wasn't because he had any intentions towards her.

He just wanted to understand what she meant by what she said earlier.

What did she mean by 'he also doesn't want his equipment to be unable to evolve'?

These are such aggressive words.

It's simply alarmist.

Arriving in the living room.

Lin Xuan summoned a Flower Demon to pour tea.

As for tea ceremony skills.

The Flower Demon had learned it from books in the ancient city on the fourth underground level of the Dragon Gate Grottoes.

The effect was quite good.

Especially evident from Chen Wanqiu's shocked expression.

Chen Wanqiu's temperament was very unique.

She didn't have the sharpness of a young lady, nor the coldness of Lu Qinghan, nor the spiciness of Shen Hongying.

She was very gentle.

It was an indescribable feeling.

Perhaps it was due to her Assassin profession.

Chen Wanqiu was dressed in a black, tight-fitting night suit, which accentuated her figure very clearly.

Lin Xuan glanced at her twice and then stopped paying attention.

In terms of looks, Chen Wanqiu might be fresher and prettier.

But in terms of figure.

His Dragon Maid Irena could leave her in the dust.

At this moment, the tea was already brewed.

Lin Xuan picked up a cup of tea by himself, didn't sip it, drank it all in one go, and then casually asked.

"What did you mean by what you said earlier?"

Chen Wanqiu pondered for a moment, then said:

"You should know that for equipment to evolve, it requires Evolution Stones."

"And the main source of Evolution Stones comes from the Life Forbidden Zone."

"Our Chen Clan Merchant Guild has an outpost in the Divine Grace Cemetery."

"Quite a few Evolution Stones are produced there."

"However, recently, the Divine Grace Cemetery experienced an anomaly, and the outpost lost contact with the family."

"The family has been looking for some experts to go and investigate recently."

"I've seen your strength; you're almost invincible among First-Order individuals. So I wanted to ask if you could help me with this."

Lin Xuan heard this and felt a bit confused, saying:

"The Chen Clan Merchant Guild is so big, full of talented people."

"Why look for a student like me?"

"Besides, what does this have to do with me?"

"If the Chen Clan Merchant Guild can't provide Evolution Stones, can't I just buy them from others?"

The Chen Clan Merchant Guild.

It was a top financial conglomerate throughout the entire Great Xia.

There were countless professionals within it.

And an unknown number of experts.

Why would they look for an outsider like him?

Most importantly, this matter had nothing to do with him.

If the Chen Clan Merchant Guild's Evolution Stones were unavailable, couldn't he just buy Evolution Stones from others?

The Chen Clan Merchant Guild couldn't possibly monopolize all the Evolution Stones in Jianghai City, could it?

Hearing Lin Xuan's words.

Chen Wanqiu pursed her lips and continued to explain.

"In the entire Jianghai City, almost all Evolution Stones are supplied by the Chen Clan Merchant Guild."

"Other small suppliers' Evolution Stones are mostly acquired from the Chen Clan Merchant Guild as well."

"If you go to nearby cities to buy them, they are also supplied by the Chen Clan Merchant Guild."

"Moreover, due to transportation and other issues, the price would be even higher."

Lin Xuan touched his chin after hearing that, saying:

"Then I can't go to a more distant city to buy them?"

"If it's a bit more expensive, then it's a bit more expensive."

Lin Xuan didn't want to get involved in this matter.

Chen Wanqiu had just said he was invincible at First-Order.

But he didn't think so.

Especially after he realized during the Freshman Tournament that some people's talents could achieve percentage-based damage.

Hearing this.

Chen Wanqiu felt a little helpless.

Finding Lin Xuan was something her father had instructed.

Her father said that Lin Xuan's strength was unmatched among those of the same order.

He could even win against those of higher orders.

Originally, she didn't believe it.

But after Lin Xuan hit her three times in the Ladder Match, she understood.

This person was truly abnormal.

Of course, she was talking about his strength.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Wanqiu explained again.

"Evolution Stones are very precious; major forces almost all produce and sell them themselves."

"Even if you go to other cities, they will prioritize supplying their own city's professionals."

"Moreover, Evolution Stones cannot be carried in spatial backpacks."

"If you want to buy them, you can only go to other cities yourself and then bring them back manually."

"Going back and forth, not only does it take too long, but the danger level is also not low."

Speaking of this.

Chen Wanqiu's tone became much more sincere: "Junior, I know this request is a bit abrupt."

"But there's truly no better way right now; the Divine Grace Cemetery is a Life Forbidden Zone."

"Now that an anomaly has occurred, only First-Order professionals can enter."

"The Guild has already sent many people in, but they have all disappeared without a trace."

"Your equipment must be among the top-tier items of its level."

"If you are willing to help resolve this, the Chen Clan Merchant Guild is willing to offer one-fifth of the Divine Grace Cemetery outpost's inventory as compensation."

"So..." At this point, Chen Wanqiu didn't continue, but her meaning was already very clear.

The Divine Grace Cemetery was very important to the Chen Clan Merchant Guild.

"Only one-fifth, that's too little."

"One-fifth is really a lot. The Divine Grace Cemetery outpost holds eighty percent of the Chen Clan Merchant Guild's Evolution Stones."

"Hiss..."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan finally couldn't remain calm.

Eighty percent of the inventory!

Wouldn't that mean almost all of Jianghai City's Evolution Stones would be out of stock!

However, one-fifth was still too little.

"One-fourth." Before Lin Xuan could speak, Chen Wanqiu gritted her teeth and increased the reward.

This price was actually very high.

According to market prices.

Lin Xuan estimated it would definitely be over fifty billion gold coins.

The Chen Clan Merchant Guild was essentially giving him a legendary talent card!

It's just...

Does he really have to go to the Divine Grace Cemetery?

After he came out of the ruins, he learned about the anomaly in the Divine Grace Cemetery.

He didn't really want to get involved in this mess.

Now...

"One-half."

Chen Wanqiu took a deep breath and uttered a price that Lin Xuan couldn't refuse.

One-half.

This was equivalent to forty percent of the entire Chen Clan Merchant Guild's Evolution Stone inventory!

"Can you make that decision?" Lin Xuan didn't agree directly, but asked in return.

Chen Wanqiu's heart pounded, she took a deep breath and said with difficulty:

"Yes, my father has already agreed."

"Good." Lin Xuan nodded, agreeing to it.

He hadn't intended to refuse anyway.

The reward was very generous.

Although the Divine Grace Cemetery was dangerous, his own strength was not weak.

Especially after learning that only First-Order professionals could enter there now.

Lin Xuan felt he could walk sideways in there.

Of course, the Chen Clan Merchant Guild was willing to pay such a high price for him to go to the Divine Grace Cemetery.

Lin Xuan felt that things might not be that simple.

"It seems there's something in the Divine Grace Cemetery outpost that the Chen Clan Merchant Guild absolutely must retrieve."

Since he had agreed, Lin Xuan didn't procrastinate.

"When do we leave? Today?"

Chen Wanqiu was stunned for a moment, then said: "Not that urgent."

"However, if you're free today, that's fine too."

"Hmm, then let's make it tomorrow. It's too late today." Lin Xuan stroked his chin and suggested a time.

In fact.

Lin Xuan had thought of the skill book he had previously auctioned for.

Calculating the time.

It should arrive tonight or tomorrow morning.

"Alright, I'll come find you when we depart tomorrow." Chen Wanqiu breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up.

"What do you mean?" Lin Xuan also stood up and stopped her, "You're going too?"

Chen Wanqiu nodded.

"My strength is not weak among First-Order individuals."

"Few people can withstand my Assassin."

"Except for you..."

At this point, Chen Wanqiu gave Lin Xuan a resentful look and left the villa.

"Oh, and as part of the compensation, tomorrow I'll send someone to bring ten percent of the Guild's Evolution Stones."

As her words fell.

Lin Xuan remained silent in the room for a long time.

The Chen Clan Merchant Guild was really going all out.

There must be an extremely important item for the Guild within the Divine Grace Cemetery outpost.

Moreover, this item was definitely not as simple as just Evolution Stones.

"Interesting."

"I'm curious to see what's in there that's so valuable."
