Chapter 561: Did I Get Special Treatment?
Lin Yuan transferred the earth-type Defined Life pearl from Wang Fuxiang’s platter to Master Duan Li. He then stored away the water-type Defined Life pearl Master Duan Li had chosen.
Wang Fuxiang stood there and blinked. She could not believe that her flirtatious performance was ignored.
She chuckled and said, “I don’t know what I can do to thank you for granting me a matching pearl. If you happen to encounter any rare items that you’re uncertain about in the future, please feel free to contact me on Star Web.”
Wang Fuxiang lowered her head and started to carefully pick and sort through the platter of elemental pearls.
Lin Yuan did not know how to react.
What’s going on? Why did she say I granted her a match? Somehow it feels like I’m cursing some poor soul.
Duan He did not immediately leave after the auction was over because he had business with Lin Yuan. Thus, he overheard the conversation between Wang Fuxiang and Lin Yuan.
Duan He thought, If the Moon Empress finds out that Wang Fuxiang is trying to seduce her precious disciple, I wonder if the bright moon in the sky will suddenly appear in the sky. It might very well be stained red. Wang Fuxiang’s love might be more dangerous than the Zheng family.
While Master Duan Li and Wang Fuxiang were picking the elemental pearls, Lin Yuan noticed that none of the water-type elemental pearls were chosen.
Lin Yuan could not understand why.
The water-type elemental pearl was usually popular, so he could not understand why they did not want them.
Wang Fuxiang and Master Duan Li left satisfied after they were done picking their elemental pearls.
At this moment, Lin Yuan realized there were two other people left in the store besides Listen, who was packing up the benches that had been laid out for the group welfare.
One of them was Duan He.
The other was the store’s first customer—Stream in the Cloud, or rather the braised egg head.
Lin Yuan could still remember how excited Stream in the Cloud was during the group welfare auction. However, she was visibly disappointed after the group welfare ended.
She looked like a trampled flower that had been wrenched around by a ferocious storm.
Lin Yuan walked up to Stream in the Cloud and said, “What happened? You could stuff a donkey in your mouth.”
Lin Yuan noticed that Stream in the Cloud was wearing the same bumblebee hat she wore the first time they met.
In half a year, her previously bald head was now full of luscious hair that hung past her face.
It seemed that Stream in the Cloud with hair was rather quiet.
When the miserable-looking Stream in the Cloud heard Lin Yuan’s comment, she immediately rolled her eyes.
“Did the donkey run out of the Deep Mountain Elder Lin’s mouth?” She huffed.
The moment the words left her mouth, Stream in the Cloud cringed at herself.
Stream in the Cloud had come in order to buy a fire-elemental heavenly-maiden-grade pearl. If they were ordinary heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, she would try her hand at bidding as well.
However, the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls that Lin Yuan offered were of 9.9 purity and had inner radiance.
Stream in the Cloud did not have enough resources to make a bid.
After all her excitement, she was reduced to a spectator.
Lin Yuan glanced at Stream in the Cloud doubtfully. He suspected that Stream in the Cloud was distributing resources behind the scenes, but he did not have any evidence.
Duan He walked up to Lin Yuan and cleared his throat.
“Sir group admin, Is it possible for me to trade 10 9.8 purity wind-elemental heavenly-maiden-grade pearls with you? I’m willing to fork out two source-type items for each elemental pearl.”
Lin Yuan was surprised to hear Duan He address him in such a manner. He cocked an eyebrow.
For an emperor-class expert like Duan He to address Lin Yuan as Sir, Lin Yuan was certain that Duan He had found out the truth behind his identity.
Lin Yuan turned to look at Duan He. Just as Duan He’s hair started to stand under Lin Yuan’s scrutiny, Lin Yuan said, “The price is acceptable. No problem. It’s almost New Year’s. Let’s trade afterward.”
Lin Yuan did not reject Duan He’s request for a trade. The price he was offering of two source-type items for one 9.8 purity heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl was already three times the market price.
The 9.8 purity heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were just a spiritual ingredient. It was completely different from the luxury good that was the 9.9 purity heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.
There was no reason for Lin Yuan to reject Duan He’s offer.
He had numerous elemental pearls in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. This deal was also a good chance for Lin Yuan to establish a connection with him.
Once he was done investigating Duan He’s character, Lin Yuan would be able to use that connection to move in on Duan He.
Duan He thanked Li Xiaotiao and bustled out of the Star Web store to find Li Xiaotiao.
Stream in the Cloud’s eyes lit up when he heard the discourse between Duan He and Lin Yuan.
“Lin Yuan, I also want to buy three fire-elemental heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls from you!”
As Stream in the Cloud spoke, Lin Yuan did not miss the flash of happiness that streaked across her gaze.
Lin Yuan immediately realized that Stream in the Cloud was not disappointed because she did not manage to win the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl auction.
Lin Yuan had nothing against Stream in the Cloud’s intention to buy from him.
Stream in the Cloud was Lin Yuan’s first customer at his Star Web store, and he had custom-ordered the Web-Spraying Spider for her, which allowed him to earn his first remuneration that was more than 1 Radiance dollar.
It was because Stream in the Cloud had earned Lin Yuan his first pot of gold that he had the financial ability to quickly improve himself through the use of the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
He had also created the Purchase With No Loss store fan club after his deal with Stream in the Cloud.
Stream in the Cloud had also been by his side when Lin Yuan had taken in the high-level match between White Devil and Unknown Flame and set his first goal as a spirit qi professional.
Now that he thought about it, Stream in the Cloud was always by his side.
A few exchanges of words later, Lin Yuan completed his deal with Stream in the Cloud.
Stream in the Cloud revealed a dazzling smile as she said, “Lin Yuan, did I get special treatment?”
Lin Yuan could only think about how wonderfully cool high-class Creation Masters were.
The rarer the good, the more valuable it was. On a certain level, this statement underlined the truth behind pricing.
Lin Yuan had charged Stream in the Cloud the lowest market price and did not make a profit.
Meanwhile, Stream in the Cloud felt that she had gotten a great deal.
Upon seeing Stream in the Cloud’s broad grin, Lin Yuan could not help but say, “Is the special treatment the reason why you’re so fat?”
Since it was almost New Year’s, it was inevitable that Stream in the Cloud had gained weight.
The smile on her face was immediately replaced with a look of outrage.
She was literally hopping with anger.
Stream in the Cloud suddenly resented Lin Yuan as much as the fellow that had taught her a cheating method online, causing her to come in last in class for the exam.
I should let the Ghost Shadow Bristled Spider take a bite out of Lin Yuan. Then, I’ll instruct him to drink some hot water with Indigo Load Root and clean the wound thoroughly. Finally, I’ll find a nice shady tree for him to lay under to prevent his corpse from turning pungent. If I have enough money, I’ll lay a cooling mat under him!
