Chapter 250: Chapter 250
Su Yan, who had always been acutely sensitive to show-off vibes, noticed the young man’s odd behavior and found it somewhat amusing.
It’s just a Rare level Snake Dragon he’s carrying. Does he really plan on showing off with it all day? Won’t he be utterly floored when I bring out a pile of Rare and Semi-Legendary level treasures later?
Soon, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Sister Zhou walked with a confident swagger, making her way to Window No. 7 and stopping there. Then, under the appraiser’s eager gaze, she reached into her clothes and pulled out two glossy black orbs. The surface of these orbs was entwined with strands of Yin Energy, and a tremendous aura of resentment swelled from within them.
From a distance, Su Yan recognized Sister Zhou’s orbs as the cores of Yin entities, commonly known as Soul Beads. Judging by the density of Yin Energy swirling around these two Soul Beads, Su Yan estimated they were at least of Rare level or higher. There was even a high probability that they were Semi-Legendary level.
Unexpectedly, Sister Zhou was a Monster Hunter who loved hunting Yin entities, just like him! It seemed he absolutely had to get acquainted with her today and see if he could find out from her where Yin entities could be hunted around Jingdou.
With these thoughts, Su Yan’s gaze lingered on the appraiser examining the Soul Beads. In the half-month since the college entrance exam had ended, he had hunted many Yin entities in Luo City, acquiring a large number of Soul Beads. Aside from an especially Rare Soul Bead unsuitable for him to Devour, which he had given to his older sister, he had Devoured all the other Soul Beads himself. He hadn’t taken any to the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm to exchange for money yet.
He wondered how much these cores of Yin entities might fetch compared to the corpses of mythical beasts of the same level. They should... be more expensive than Exotic Flower Fruits, right?
After nearly three minutes of appraisal, the veteran appraiser at Window No. 7 finally spoke, "Sister Zhou, based on my many years of appraisal experience, one of your Soul Beads is Rare level, and the other is Semi-Legendary level."
"Considering our firm’s past purchase records and recent market price fluctuations, I can offer you the following purchase prices for these two Soul Beads." Follow current novels on novel✶fire.net
"Four hundred thousand for the Rare level one, and one million for the Semi-Legendary level one. Are you satisfied with these prices, Sister Zhou?"
Sister Zhou was a regular customer of the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm and held it in high regard, so she had no objections to the offered price. She smiled and replied, "Come on, Master Liu, you know me. I’ve been to the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm so many times; when have I ever been dissatisfied with the prices you offer?"
The appraiser smiled and nodded. "Yes, yes, of course. But business is business, and a professional appraiser must maintain his standards."
"Master Liu, same as always, just transfer the money directly to this card," she said.
With that, Sister Zhou handed a bank card, marked VIP customer of the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm, to the appraiser.
In less than half a minute, a substantial sum of one million four hundred thousand was successfully transferred into Sister Zhou’s bank account. The process was lightning-fast, without any delay.
When Sister Zhou departed from Window No. 7, some people in the hall who recognized her began to chat her up.
"Sister Zhou is incredible! She actually took down a Rare level and a Semi-Legendary level Yin entity, pocketing one million four hundred thousand just like that! I’m so jealous it’s killing me."
"No kidding! Sister Zhou specializes in hunting Yin entities. One blast of her Breath of Haunted Wails, and all Yin entities drop to their knees begging for mercy."
"Sister Zhou is truly incredible. She just made five hundred thousand yesterday, and now another one million four hundred thousand today. If I were as incredible as Sister Zhou, I’d have several wives by now."
"That’s not something you can just envy. Sister Zhou graduated from a prestigious evolution academy, and her Creature Level has reached the Half-step Legendary Level. You’re just an Advanced Level Being; you should count yourself lucky you haven’t been hunted by Yin entities instead!"
Everyone chimed in, showering Sister Zhou with praise, clearly on familiar terms with her.
Seeing this, Sister Zhou smiled and said, "There’s nothing to envy. Hunting Yin entities is like licking blood off a knife’s edge. Who knows, one day I might make a mistake and just... disappear."
Hearing this, they quickly smiled and said, "You’re joking, Sister Zhou! If you don’t live for another one or two hundred years, then heaven itself must be blind!"
As they chatted, a single man who considered himself quite handsome said to Sister Zhou, "Sister Zhou, you’re about that age. Have you ever thought of finding a man to settle down with?"
"If you’re considering it, I think you could take me into account. I’m proficient in laundry and cooking. You can take the lead outside, and I’ll manage things at home. We can build a happy family life together."
Seeing that Sister Zhou always returned from hunts laden with spoils, this man was tempted, wondering if he had a chance to latch onto this wealthy woman and live a comfortable life as her kept man.
Sister Zhou, always sharp-witted, instantly saw through his intention to become a kept man. She chuckled. "Brother Chen, you’re kidding. A woman like me, who lives by the sword, dancing with death daily—who knows? I might just make you a widower one day."
Sister Zhou had intended to deter the man with these words, but to her surprise, upon hearing that she might meet her end any day, his eyes grew even more resolute.
The man said with determination, "I’m not afraid, Sister Zhou. You should consider me."
Sister Zhou heard this and inwardly cursed her miscalculation. To make the man give up, she turned her gaze to Su Yan.
She pointed directly at Su Yan and said to the man, "To be honest, I like younger men, and those with really good looks, just young brother here."
Su Yan, who had been quietly waiting in line to sell his items, suddenly became an unwitting target, his mind reeling with confusion.
Hearing this, the man immediately turned his gaze to Su Yan. What met his eyes was a rather slender-looking young man.
He then said, "Sister Zhou, this kid might be handsome, but with a build like that, if he got together with you, he’d definitely be the one sponging off you."
"I think, Sister Zhou, when you’re looking for a partner, you should look for a man with a strong body, at least one who’s a bit more fierce when it comes to physical work."
"While my hunting skills aren’t as good as yours, Sister Zhou, my other... abilities... are highly praised by women. You should be looking for someone like me."
Just as the man was belittling Su Yan, the announcement system in the hall sounded again.
"Customer number 138, please proceed to Counter No. 8 to sell your items. Thank you."
The announcement had just finished when Su Yan glanced at the number on the slip in his hand: 138. That was him.
