Chapter 253: Chapter 253

Sister Zhou and the man were both stunned, feeling that the scene before them was too incredible to comprehend.

Meanwhile, Su Yan, standing before Window 8, felt a pleasant surprise upon hearing Qin Yao’s appraisal. This Qin Yao is truly more than meets the eye. To possess such a skill, she’s quite versatile. Truly exceptional. Favorability +1+1+1...

Seeing that Su Yan didn’t speak up, Qin Yao, from inside the window, thought he might be dissatisfied with the acquisition price and softly said, "Su Yan, are you perhaps dissatisfied with this purchase price?"

At the sound of her voice, Su Yan returned to his senses. Smiling at Qin Yao, he said, "Not at all. I’m very satisfied with the price you’ve offered, Classmate Qin Yao."

After speaking, he subtly concealed his movements as he retrieved the items, directly pulling everything he wanted to sell from his System Backpack. Instantly, a vast quantity of flowers, grasses, and tree roots piled up, completely filling Window 8. From a distance, the sheer volume made it resemble a small mountain.

After swiftly emptying the backpack’s contents, Su Yan said with a smile, "Classmate Qin Yao, I want to sell all these items on the counter. Please appraise them for me."

"Ah... this...!" Qin Yao’s eyes widened as she stared at the mountain-like pile of rare treasures before her. Her mind went blank for a moment; she was utterly stunned. She felt incredibly shocked, unable to comprehend where Su Yan had obtained so many Demonic Plant treasures. Could he have raided a Demon Plant Nest?

Compared to Qin Yao’s bewilderment, everyone else in the hall was, without exception, so shocked they were cursing under their breath. This student looked so thin and frail; he didn’t seem like an incredible Monster Hunter at all. Where on earth did he get so many great treasures? And... so many rare items! How much money must all this be worth? This is just f*cking outrageous!

Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, finding the scene before them utterly unbelievable. Among them, the most shocked were Energetic Sister Zhou and that delusional kept man who looked like he deserved a good thrashing. At this moment, of this man and woman, one was first dumbstruck then began doubting life itself, while the other was initially incredulous before their eyes lit up. Without exception, both were completely floored by Su Yan’s display. Damn, he pulled out so many Demonic Plant treasures at once! Does his family run a wholesale market? This is so unscientific! He’s clearly just a pretty-boy student; how can he be this incredible? I’m floored, completely floored.

Right then, both Sister Zhou and the delusional kept man felt their scalps tingle, wondering if they were hallucinating or perhaps dreaming.

「Meanwhile, at Window 8.」

Seeing that Qin Yao had suddenly fallen silent, seemingly dumbfounded by the pile of rare treasures before her, Su Yan immediately waved his hand in front of her eyes and gently shook it, saying, "Classmate Qin Yao?"

Startled by Su Yan’s wave, Qin Yao slowly regained her composure. "There’s... there’s too much. I can’t appraise it all by myself..."

"It is indeed quite a lot..." Su Yan readily agreed. Then he added, "Classmate Qin Yao, if possible, why don’t you call a few more people to help? Otherwise, it will take too long for you to do it alone."

Qin Yao considered this and agreed. Pursing her lips, she said, "Then please wait a moment, Su Yan. I’ll go find some help right now. I’ll be back soon." With that, Qin Yao turned and left, her long legs carrying her swiftly out of the windowed room.

「After Qin Yao left.」

Sister Zhou, who had spoken with Su Yan in the hall a short while ago, immediately approached him. "Brother Su Yan," she asked, "did you hunt all these Demonic Plant treasures in front of you yourself?"

Seeing Sister Zhou approach, Su Yan politely replied, "Mm, yes." Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NoveI-Fire.ɴet

"HISS!" Hearing Su Yan’s reply, Sister Zhou couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath, feeling utterly astounded. I’ve been active in the Jingdou Monster Hunter Circle for so long, but I’ve never heard of anyone named Su Yan. I suspected he was just an errand boy, helping someone else sell these Demonic Plant treasures for cash. However, Su Yan’s response refuted her assumption, and he didn’t seem to be lying. This revelation hit her like a tidal wave!

"Keep boasting! I, Dai Eren, have been around Jingdou for so long; how could I have never heard of someone like you?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind Sister Zhou. It was the delusional kept man who had been incessantly belittling Su Yan earlier.

Su Yan glanced at Dai Eren and said with a smile, "That can’t be blamed on my lack of fame, but rather on your limited perspective—and you’re lacking in every respect."

"My perspective is limited?" Dai Eren scoffed. "I’ve been in Jingdou for eighteen years, and everyone calls me Mr. Know-It-All. Is there anything I wouldn’t know? Besides, any Monster Hunter with notable reputation and strength is well-known within the circle, let alone one so young and capable. Yet, the fact is, nobody here knows you. Does that seem normal? The only possibility is that you’re just a lackey, taking this chance to act important and satisfy your vanity. Am I wrong?" Dai Eren presented his analysis logically, causing many in the hall to nod in agreement, finding his reasoning sound and convincing.

Facing Dai Eren’s accusations, Su Yan asked lightly, "I don’t recall ever telling you I was a Monster Hunter, did I?"

Hearing Su Yan’s words, Dai Eren immediately laughed. "See, Sister Zhou? I told you this guy was just pretending to be a big shot! In reality, he’s just—"

Before Dai Eren could finish, Su Yan cut him off sharply, "I’m not a Monster Hunter. I’m just your average, run-of-the-mill provincial top scorer in the college entrance exams."
