Chapter 94: Stay Calm and Composed When Encountering Matters

The equipment covering the floor left Zhuge Ni stunned.

She had spent a month hunting monsters in the wild, yet only a dozen pieces of equipment had dropped, and not a single one was high-grade; they were all low or mid-grade.

She had not expected that the man before her could produce so much high-grade equipment.

Her conviction only grew stronger in her heart: this person must be the Ling Ye she had been searching for all along!

Hearing the people around her sighing and gasping in shock, Zhuge Ni felt wonderful, and her rosy lips curled slightly; seeing her beloved show off was far more satisfying than showing off herself.

The young lady in black silk stockings at the Class Advancement Guild remained dazed for a long time before finally coming to her senses; a sharp glint erupted in her eyes, and she looked at Ye Lin as if she were looking at a living god of wealth.

They received commission points for guiding class advancers through trades, and since Ye Lin had pulled out so much equipment at once, her commission for completing this single transaction would be unimaginably high.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Ye Lin were to say he was feeling hot-headed right now, she would willingly transform into a fire extinguisher.

The young lady in black silk hurriedly unbuttoned her shirt, revealing a deep Mariana Trench, then leaned over slightly and spoke respectfully to Ye Lin.

"Greetings, respected class advancer. May I ask if you wish to trade this equipment for money?"

"No, I want to barter."

There are two types of trades at the Class Advancement Guild: trading items for money, and bartering items for items.

For example, a fire mage who obtains equipment that enhances water-type skills can bring it to the Class Advancement Guild to exchange it for equipment of the same grade suitable for a fire mage.

"Very well, please select the type of equipment you would like to trade for~" The young lady in black silk spoke in an incredibly sweet voice, remaining bent over to serve Ye Lin throughout the process as she handed a tablet to him.

Ye Lin gave the young lady sufficient respect; he didn't know if it was lecherous or not, he only knew the scenery was excellent, and not looking would make him seem unappreciative of the view.

Men, after all, have similar hobbies.

But this scene infuriated Zhuge Ni, who was standing behind them!

Whether in figure or appearance, she beat that young lady in black silk from the Class Advancement Guild by who knows how many streets; even the other woman's Mariana Trench was nothing more than a small ditch compared to her own!

Yet, the Ling Ye she admired was so cold to her, but kept staring at that young lady in black silk? Zhuge Ni could not fathom it.

She looked down at her own attire; her tight-fitting combat suit was wrapped up completely, and apart from her head, neck, and hands, almost nothing was exposed.

Could it be because she was wearing too much? Did Ling Ye not like this style?

Zhuge Ni bit her red lip; a woman dresses for the one she loves. Although she had never worn overly sexy clothes in her life, if it was what Ling Ye liked...

On the other side, Ye Lin had already selected the equipment he wanted on the tablet.

[Yaoguang Necklace]

[Grade: Rare]

[Attribute: Mental Power Amplification 50%] (Can be refined)

[Skill: None]

Although the Yaoguang Necklace had no skill bonuses, its mental power bonus reached a staggering 50%.

One must know that the Red Flame Staff Ye Lin carried was Epic-grade equipment, and its mental power bonus was also 50%.

Setting aside skills, the Yaoguang Necklace was fully comparable to Epic-grade equipment.

Ye Lin was a Forbidden Spellcaster; the one thing he didn't lack was skills, so he had his eye on the Yaoguang Necklace at first glance.

"Let's trade for this one." Ye Lin clicked confirm.

"Very well, let me calculate that for you." The young lady smiled at Ye Lin and then had people start tallying Ye Lin's pile of equipment.

After the tally was complete, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face, and she spoke cautiously.

"Sir, if you want to exchange for this piece of equipment, you will need to pay an additional three million."

"No problem."

Ye Lin nodded, not at all surprised; Wu Shaoqi and his group had been forced to hand over high-grade equipment, so what they gave him certainly wouldn't be anything good.

The top scholar's reward included money, so Ye Lin paid the three million cleanly and successfully obtained the Yaoguang Necklace.

"The transaction is complete, sir. We look forward to your next visit." The young lady in black silk bowed at a forty-five-degree angle, an angle most convenient for Ye Lin to appreciate the scenery.

"I have more things to sell."

Ye Lin took a stone from his Great Sumeru Ring; the surface of the stone shimmered with a golden luster, featured dragon-scale patterns, and contained a strange magical power.

The moment this stone appeared, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, radiating a heart-stopping sense of oppression.

"This is..."

The young lady in black silk approached with suspicion, took out a magnifying glass to observe it closely, and after weighing it in her hand, her expression changed abruptly, and she shrieked.

"This is Dragon-Patterned Mineral Gold!"

Her shriek attracted the gazes of everyone nearby.

"What? Dragon-Patterned Mineral Gold has appeared? That is a material capable of forging Epic-grade equipment! It is incredibly precious!"

"Dragon-Patterned Mineral Gold, with external dragon patterns and internal dragon might, is indestructible and pierces everything! For forging swords and blades, Dragon-Patterned Mineral Gold is the top choice!"

"This piece of Dragon-Patterned Mineral Gold is the size of a fist; if one could find a Grandmaster Blacksmith to forge it, they could probably create a true divine weapon!"

The crowd's faces were filled with shock, far more than when Ye Lin had produced a dozen pieces of high-grade equipment just moments ago.

In front of Dragon-Patterned Mineral Gold, a dozen pieces of high-grade equipment were not even worth a fart!

Zhuge Ni's beautiful eyes shone with brilliance as she looked at Ye Lin, almost turning into hearts; this was the man she, Zhuge Ni, loved!

"What is it? Why all the commotion?"

Just as the crowd was discussing and exclaiming, a calm and dignified voice came from the crowd.

"What has happened to cause such a clamor? Do I not usually teach you to be calm and composed when encountering matters?"

The crowd turned to look, and saw a middle-aged man in luxurious robes with an extraordinary bearing walking out from the crowd.

"It's him! The Vice President of the Qingcheng Class Advancement Guild, Chen Kai!" someone exclaimed.

"It is said his level is already approaching level sixty!"

Chen Kai walked over slowly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before landing on the Dragon-Patterned Mineral Gold in Ye Lin's hand, a flash of surprise appearing in his eyes.

"Dragon-Patterned Mineral Gold? Not bad! It is indeed a good treasure. What do you want to trade it for?"

For something so precious, no one would sell it for money; it had to be a barter.

"Refining Stones!" Ye Lin said.

Refining Stones could refine the star-level of equipment, making it more powerful; a Rare-grade piece of equipment refined to 7 stars could even rival an unrefined Epic-grade piece in attributes.

"No problem. For the Dragon-Patterned Mineral Gold, how about eight hundred?" Chen Kai said.

"One thousand." Ye Lin said decisively.

Chen Kai looked at Ye Lin deeply, then smiled.

"That works too. One thousand it is. Let's consider it a gesture of friendship; don't forget the Qingcheng Class Advancement Guild if you have more things like Dragon-Patterned Mineral Gold in the future."

"Fine." Ye Lin nodded.

Soon, staff members brought over one thousand Refining Stones, and Ye Lin put them all directly into his Great Sumeru Ring.

This move made Chen Kai's eyes shine with brilliance; equipment with storage functions—it seemed this person's background was not simple.

"Pleasure doing business with you." Thinking of this, Chen Kai took the initiative to reach out and shake Ye Lin's hand, a smile appearing on his face.

Afterward, Chen Kai turned his head to lecture the young lady in black silk from before.

"Did you see that? Be calm and composed when encountering matters; don't scream and shout, it damages the reputation of our Qingcheng Class Advancement Guild."

"Understood." The young lady in black silk said aggrievedly.

"Um... actually, I have one more item to trade." Ye Lin scratched his head.

"Go ahead, just take it out." Chen Kai said nonchalantly.

"Right here?"

"Yes."

"Alright."

Ye Lin took a bundle of skill scrolls from his Great Sumeru Ring.

Chen Kai took one look and froze on the spot, then let out a roar that could have blown the roof off the Class Advancement Guild.

"Holy crap!"

"Legendary-grade skill scrolls?!"

"President! President, come quickly, President!!!"
