152: Your knife is only worth one hundred dollars.

The Consultant composed himself and stopped bragging. He looked at Qian Li and asked directly:

"How much can you offer?"

When he first arrived in this city, he had already paid close attention to its currency.

The value of the currency was almost the same as outside, the only difference being the material.

According to the Consultant's guess, this world should have more than just Weibai City.

It would take at least a few weeks to find the emerald seed.

During this time, if he didn't want to live from hand to mouth, he had to earn enough money.

He originally thought Qian Li looked like a rich man, and after all the bragging about the knife, he should offer a good price.

However... Qian Li grinned, sheathed the knife, put it aside, and raised a finger.

The Consultant frowned, calculated the money needed for this period, and bravely asked, "Is that... one hundred thousand?"

"Heh heh, young man, aren't you being a bit too greedy?"

Qian Li chuckled softly, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Just kidding."

The Consultant also smiled. He had indeed quoted an exorbitant price.

He thought of bluffing the other party, and if Qian Li was a gullible fool, he would make a fortune.

Too bad, the other party was very shrewd.

The Consultant quoted a reasonable price: "You plan to offer... ten thousand?"

This price met the Consultant's psychological expectations; if he was frugal, it would last him for a while.

But Qian Li's smile remained unchanged, and he shook his head again.

...

After seeing Qian Li's actions, the Consultant's brows suddenly furrowed, and a hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes.

He looked at Qian Li coldly and spoke again, "One thousand?"

Qian Li still didn't speak, silently shaking his head.

"Then you..."

The Consultant paused, held the Slime on his head in his arms, and propped his right hand on the table.

Black Marsh quietly emerged from his sleeve, flicking its cold tongue, finishing the second half of the sentence for the Consultant.

"grandson, are you looking for trouble?!"

Qian Li's attitude clearly wasn't for making a transaction; it was more like deliberate provocation.

In this place, although the Consultant couldn't use the abilities of a Magic Swordsman and Rune Master, he still had Black Marsh, an Eighth-Order Magical Beast, by his side.

Let alone the Emerald Dreamscape, even in the outside world, there were very few opponents with strength comparable to Black Marsh!

"Kid, you're very interesting."

Qian Li's gaze drifted over Black Marsh. Magical beasts that could speak human language were not uncommon in the Emerald Dreamscape, so Qian Li didn't sense Black Marsh's true strength.

"This knife of yours is also very rare." He smiled slightly, then changed the subject, "However, here it's only worth one hundred yuan."

"???"

The Consultant was stunned, not expecting Qian Li to be so shameless.

But before he could speak, Qian Li began to explain:

"Young man, you should know that in this place, everyone is a Beast Tamer, and no one will have use for this knife."

"So no matter how rare your knife is, in the Emerald Dreamscape, it's nothing more than a decoration."

"Understand... outsider?"

His tone in that last sentence became extremely low!

The Consultant and Du Ruo's expressions changed immediately upon hearing this!

This person knows they came from the outside?!

How is that possible?

During their time wandering around, they had discovered a crucial thing.

The people here seemed to have never left the Emerald Dreamscape.

Not only that, many people hadn't even touched the edge of the Emerald Dreamscape; they didn't even know the outside world existed.

This reminded the Consultant of an ancient text he read in school as a child called 'The Peach Blossom Spring'... But this only made the Consultant more curious.

Why would Qian Li, standing before them, know that they were outsiders!

Also, if the other party knew this, would it affect their search for the emerald seed later on... Qian Li looked at the expressions of the Consultant and Du Ruo and smiled silently:

"Don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you."

The Consultant and Du Ruo exchanged a silent glance, secretly preparing to take action.

Anyway, the other party was a Beast Tamer. Although he was robust, his main attack method would definitely be his soul beast.

Currently, the other party's magical beast wasn't by his side. In a pure strength comparison, he was definitely no match for the Consultant and Du Ruo!

If anything unexpected happened, they could subdue this grandson immediately.

If worst came to worst, silencing him was also an option!

Qian Li didn't know that he had unknowingly walked a circle around the gates of hell.

But he didn't make any outrageous moves. After putting down the knife, he reached into his In my arms and took out an item.

It was a metal badge, incredibly smooth on the surface, clearly having been 'played with' for many years.

The badge had an exquisitely crafted dragon pattern, surrounded by some delicate small designs!

The Consultant looked at this item and felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"This... this is?!"

Du Ruo's expression, however, changed. She abruptly stood up, her eyes wide as she stared at the badge, unable to help but exclaim.

"Sister Du, what's going on?"

Seeing Du Ruo's strong reaction, the Consultant quickly lowered his voice to ask.

Du Ruo didn't speak. She clenched her fist to suppress her emotions, then pulled out a card from her space ring and waved it in front of the Consultant.

That was Du Ruo's information card from the Bounty Guild.

The Consultant looked over in confusion, and upon noticing a certain pattern, his scalp immediately tingled!

"Holy crap?!"

In the corner of this information card, a golden dragon-shaped imprint was stamped!

It was exactly the same as the badge Qian Li had taken out!

This emblem represented the Dragon County Bounty Hunter Guild!

A very distant memory suddenly flashed in the Consultant's mind!

It was about his first time entering the Bounty Guild for registration... The receptionist had shown an extremely shocked expression upon hearing that the Consultant was a Beast Tamer!

He was shocked not only because the Consultant was a rare Beast Tamer, but also because the founder of the Dragon County Bounty Hunter Tavern was also a Beast Tamer!

That Beast Tamer, after establishing the Dragon County Bounty Hunters, soon left Dragon County and never appeared again.

Later, Dragon County's official authorities took over the work and management of the Bounty Guild.

Back then, the Consultant had also inquired about the founder's deeds to learn more about the Beast Tamer profession.

It was said that the founder was very powerful, commanding many magical beasts, and the cooperation between the magical beasts was extremely tacit, practically forming an army by himself!

But this person's temperament was unrestrained and his actions were whimsical.

Therefore, his silent departure didn't surprise many people.

Later, more and more things happened, and the Consultant forgot about it.

But now, this Beast Tamer took out the Dragon County Bounty Hunter badge... Du Ruo's face was also filled with shock; having worked as a Bounty Hunter for many years, she naturally had heard of this matter.

The same question arose in both their minds!

Could it be that...
