95: Chapter 95 Trading

"That fast? We're already here." Tao Mumu said, though she had already stepped out of the taxi.

She was instantly shocked... Her whole body froze.

"This is too... too luxurious!" Tao Shuishui was also incredibly shocked upon getting out.

The luxurious decor, the height of over a hundred meters, combined with a high-tech feel... It was a unique building in this vicinity.

Gu Na appeared very calm. "Do you have no ambition at all? You're acting like you've never seen a grand scene before."

"Cough, cough. Let's go in and take a look!" Mu Cheng coughed and walked into the Chu Family Chamber of Commerce, appearing very composed.

The service at the Chu Family Chamber of Commerce was truly excellent. Seeing Mu Cheng's group, the waitress immediately stepped forward to greet them politely.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

But at that moment, a voice came from behind.

"Hey! A bunch of hicks. Is the Chu Family Chamber of Commerce a place you should be coming to? And you, Blondie, what's this? You've found another leg to cling to today?"

It was a burly man, accompanied by two lackeys. He didn't look like a good person.

"A-Biao, don't think I'm afraid of you." Blondie had some confidence now; moreover, this was a chance to show off.

Naturally, he wouldn't let it pass and threw down some harsh words. "My business is none of your concern. If you know what's good for you, get lost."

"Hey! You're not bad, kid. You're acting like a man." Peppa suddenly piped up.

As soon as these words were spoken, A-Biao instantly chickened out.

"Lord, I... we'll get lost right now. Please, a great person like you shouldn't lower yourself to our level."

He quickly vanished without a trace. The remaining two lackeys looked bewildered, but since their boss had already run off...

They naturally slunk away with their tails between their legs as well.

"You... can't you say a few words less? Look how scared they were," Mu Cheng remarked casually.

A-Biao had some experience; he knew that a race capable of human speech must have a strength of at least the eighth rank...

Not running away would have been impossible.

Peppa didn't go easy on Mu Cheng, joking around with a very serious expression.

"Fine, fine. You handle things yourself from now on. I'll just stay back and watch the show."

"Enough, enough. Let's buy the territory first!" Mu Cheng didn't want to waste time.

The waitress was also sharp and hurriedly began the introduction.

"Sir, there are two ways to purchase territory. First, you need to establish a power. Second, you need to have made contributions to Guangshen City."

"The Menglou Pavilion status from Ning City should be valid here, right?" Gu Na said as she took out an ID token and handed it over.

After the waitress took it and confirmed its authenticity, her expression changed instantly.

"So you are distinguished guests of the Menglou Pavilion. Sister Ting has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me!"

She handed the ID token back to Gu Na with trembling hands; it was obvious she was nervous.

"As I thought, that girl really is behind the Chu Family Chamber of Commerce." Gu Na had suspected it for a long time, and now she was one hundred percent certain.

"Everyone, please follow me!" The waitress spoke again slowly when she saw the group hadn't responded.

"Very well. Being in a strange place, saving a little trouble is always good. Besides, we came here for this anyway." Mu Cheng followed her without further hesitation.

Soon, everyone arrived at the top-floor VIP room. Mu Cheng and his group didn't stand on ceremony and sat directly on the sofa.

As for Blondie, he was incredibly excited right now.

"This is the highest-level VIP room. It really is. I'm not dreaming."

"Calm down. The main person is coming." Peppa said with a look of concern.

Sure enough, just as it finished speaking... a woman walked in. She was about thirty years old, wearing light but elegant makeup, with long red hair.

Combined with her magnificent formal wear... she looked very mature and steady. She was definitely a mature beauty.

"The Young Mistress has given her orders. This territory was meticulously prepared by her; consider it a welcoming gift for your arrival." Chu Tingting didn't waste words, sitting on the sofa and getting straight to the point.

She also held up a golden piece of paper.

"Then I won't be polite with you." Mu Cheng took it, gave it a quick glance, and immediately handed it to Tao Mumu.

"Notify the ladies of the new territory's location."

"Mhm, I'll notify them right away." Tao Mumu didn't waste any time either, operating her high-tech bracelet to transmit the information.

"You... fine, fine. Let's talk business! I'm quite interested in that qianji set of yours." Chu Tingting was also quite speechless.

She never expected Mu Cheng to be so blunt, but since the gift was already given, she had to move on to business.

"I can give you the qianji, but... this thing isn't cheap. If possible, I'd like to exchange it for resources of equal value." Mu Cheng didn't beat around the bush either, stating his requirements.

Having just arrived in Guangshen, the strength of the ladies was, of course, the top priority.

"Let's talk price first. How about one divine artifact? It's worth ten million star-glow crystals." Chu Tingting said after some thought.

Hearing this, Gu Na was instantly excited and asked, "Sister... are you saying the price of one divine artifact is one hundred billion star-glow crystals? You're not joking with me, are you?"

"Yeah, Sister, are you sure you're not joking?" Tao Mumu also found it hard to believe.

Tao Shuishui was also stunned. "One hundred billion star-glow crystals... Doesn't that mean... we've missed out on so, so much?"

One must know that back at the Botanical Garden, the divine artifacts given to Mu Cheng were no fewer than ten, and adding the ones from before...

It was already certain that he had at least a hundred divine artifacts.

One could only imagine... just how terrifying that was.

"Mhm, it is indeed one hundred billion star-glow crystals. However, divine artifacts are currently in a sealed state, so they look quite ordinary." Chu Tingting replied, quite happy to be called 'Sister'.

"This... forget it, forget it. Just pretend I didn't ask!" Gu Na's mood was very complicated right now.

She even began to question her life...

"Enough, enough. In that tiny place like Xinning City, even giving you divine artifacts would be useless." Mu Cheng spoke up quickly when he saw the situation was turning awkward.

He then said very seriously, "Let's get back to business! The price of one divine artifact is too low. At the very least, I want three."

"This... fine! Three it is. With a value of three hundred billion, just buy whatever you fancy directly." Chu Tingting gritted her teeth and agreed.

She threw a tablet to Tao Mumu and said, "Now, can you give me the production method for the qianji?"

"No problem, it's all in here." Mu Cheng had actually been prepared for a long time. He took out a golden iron stone and tossed it to Chu Tingting.

"This... three hundred billion. Isn't that a bit unreal?" Blondie had a look of disbelief, completely afraid to speak.

"You... it seems you were prepared. It's just as the Second Miss said. I won't stay any longer; I have business to attend to." After confirming it, Chu Tingting didn't linger and left.

"Brother Cheng, there are so many resources here, I don't even know where to start." Tao Mumu swiped through the tablet in her hand, not daring to make a decision.

Tao Shuishui: "My dear sister, of course we should get enhancement potions, exotic flowers, rare fruits... as well as bloodline awakening cards and ability awakening cards."

"Mhm, Shuishui is right. Five hundred ladies is still too few; recruiting new members is definitely necessary." Mu Cheng nodded and said.
