After leaving the shop, Wang Xiao burst into laughter.
Zhong Li asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"
"I finally found a bargain, and it was free! Wahahahaha..."
"Found a bargain? Holy crap, you traded a Seven-Tailed Centipede for a Dragon Gallstone, you're the one who lost out, how is that a bargain?"
"It's not the Dragon Gallstone! It's this!"
As he spoke, Wang Xiao handed Zhong Li a stone, the one he had taken from the shelf as compensation.
Zhong Li took it and examined it carefully for a while, seeing only an ordinary red stone.
He said speechlessly, "If I'm not mistaken, this is just a Fire Opal, worth at most two or three hundred spirit stones. I wouldn't even bother picking it up if I saw it on the road. How is this a bargain at all!"
Wang Xiao said, "Crush the stone!"
Zhong Li did as he was told, putting all his strength into it, but couldn't crush it.
His old face flushed red, and without batting an eye, he released a spirit gu, putting the Fire Opal into the spirit gu's mouth. With a bite, the stone was instantly crushed.
Then, a fiery red, transparent crystal was revealed from inside the stone, and the surrounding air suddenly felt scorching hot.
Zhong Li's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked up the red crystal, wiped it clean, and began to examine it closely.
"I... Holy crap! This is a Crimson Flame Crystal!"
Wang Xiao said triumphantly, "How about it, Fatty Zhong? Are you convinced or not!"
"Convinced! Convinced! I'm totally convinced! Wang Xiao, tell me quickly, how did you see that there was a Crimson Flame Crystal hidden inside this Fire Opal?"
"Heh heh! This is my innate wisdom. Nothing in the world can escape my eyes. You can't learn it!"
Zhong Li was skeptical, but he had to admit that Wang Xiao had a good eye!
The last time Chongxiao Tower held a trade fair, the Wan Clan Merchant Guild sent people to cause trouble, bringing an unknown stone.
No one could see what it was, but Wang Xiao was able to see that it was a gu egg. Not only did he thwart the Wan Clan Merchant Guild's plot, but he also picked up a big bargain!
Therefore, Zhong Li had to be convinced!
As a businessman, what ability is the most important? Of course, it's a good eye!
Zhong Li was both jealous and envious. He even wanted to dig out Wang Xiao's eyeballs and replace them with his own!
This guy, you don't even like doing business, what do you need such good eyesight for!
Little did he know that Wang Xiao had no eyesight at all!
He was able to get to where he was today entirely thanks to the system!
Just now in the shop, after the system scanned the Dragon Gallstone, it immediately scanned the Crimson Flame Crystal.
He originally planned to trade the Dragon Gallstone and then buy the Fire Opal hiding the Crimson Flame Crystal.
But the shopkeeper was greedy, and even though he had already profited, he still wanted Wang Xiao to add more money.
So Wang Xiao pretended to be unwilling to trade and turned around to threaten the shopkeeper, getting the Fire Opal for free.
If the shopkeeper knew that the Fire Opal Wang Xiao took away contained a Crimson Flame Crystal, he would probably regret it to the point of his intestines turning green!
The Crimson Flame Crystal was a gu refining material of the same level as the Dragon Gallstone, specifically used to refine fire-type spirit gu. If it were to be sold on the market, it wouldn't be available for less than four or five hundred thousand spirit stones.
The key is that this kind of rare item is rarely sold. Like the Dragon Gallstone, having spirit stones doesn't necessarily mean you can buy it. You can only trade it for something equally valuable!
Wang Xiao's long-cherished wish to find a bargain was finally fulfilled.
Actually, the item was secondary. The key was the sense of satisfaction from finding a bargain, which was exhilarating from head to toe and simply indescribable!
This greatly increased his enthusiasm for finding bargains, and he pulled Zhong Li along, saying, "Let's go, let's continue finding bargains. We can't miss a single shop!"
One hour later!
The two of them went from one end to the other, running through all the shops.
This time, not to mention finding a bargain, they didn't even find a penny!
Wang Xiao was a little discouraged, "Alas! My life is so hard! I just want to find a few bargains, why won't you let me!"
Zhong Li was almost angered to death, "Damn you, Wang Xiao! You got a Crimson Flame Crystal for free, what else do you want! Do you think bargains are cabbages that can be found everywhere? You're really too greedy!"
Zhong Li's heart was bleeding. Which businessman doesn't have a dream of finding a bargain!
I, Zhong Li, am a man who wants to be the greatest businessman. I've been in the business world for so many years, and I haven't found a single bargain, but Wang Xiao, this kid, picked one up right in front of me!
Where is the justice!
The two of them sat on the street to rest for a while. Zhong Li looked at the time and said, "It's almost time for the auction. Let's go!"
Wang Xiao asked, "Where is the auction held?"
"I don't know! After all, this is an underground auction, and the location is different every time!"
"Holy crap, then how do we get there!"
"Don't worry, look at this!"
As he spoke, Zhong Li took out a black token. On the token, there was a pointer like a compass that kept shaking.
They followed the pointer and soon came to a blank wall.
Wang Xiao said, "There's no road!"
Zhong Li smiled slyly, "Follow me!"
With a burst of speed, he crashed headfirst into the wall and disappeared!
Wang Xiao first asked the system, "What's going on with this wall?"
"Ding! This is an illusion combined with a formation, forming a teleportation array. Walking through this wall will make you appear in another place!"
Okay!
Wang Xiao said he understood!
He had seen this kind of technology in his previous life, see Harry Potter for details!
Wang Xiao no longer hesitated and followed Zhong Li, crashing headfirst into the wall.
