Chapter 20: Silver-grade weapon, Sword in the Stone!

As soon as these words were spoken.

Jiang Lan's eyes trembled.

She never expected Su Ming to be so greedy!

The diamond-grade weapon, Dragon Frost Heaven Cold Sword, was the shop's treasure!

The price was as high as tens of millions of Arrival Coins!

Even she couldn't just pull that out immediately.

She had originally thought that sending off this naive, poor student with a silver-grade weapon would be enough.

The surrounding students also looked slightly shocked.

"Isn't Su Ming a bit too thick-skinned? Even though he's the attribute rookie king, don't forget his profession is Sword Master, which is very weak in the early stages."

"Yeah, he really surprised me; my impression of him has dropped significantly!"

"That's a diamond-grade weapon; he's just a novice professional now, it's a question of whether he can even equip it!"

Listening to the people's words, Su Ming didn't care at all.

In his heart, there was only his own goal.

Jiang Lan felt some shame and anger in her eyes.

Su Ming's greed made her feel a bit embarrassed!

She narrowed her eyes, her expression becoming serious.

"Are you serious?"

Su Ming's eyes were clear, and he nodded.

"I'm serious, is there a problem, sister?"

He tilted his head slightly, pretending to be puzzled as he spoke.

This look made Jiang Lan's teeth itch with anger.

But she couldn't show it.

Finally, she sighed.

"Sorry, student Su Ming, can you choose another one?"

No matter what, she couldn't continue to indulge Su Ming for the sake of face.

For a merchant, money is always the first priority.

Weighing pros and cons is the most important thing.

Although her family was wealthy, they couldn't squander money indefinitely.

"The Dragon Frost Heaven Cold Sword is truly too expensive, and I don't think your current combat value is worth such an investment from me."

"If you change to a silver-quality weapon, I would be very happy..."

She revealed a professional smile.

Su Ming shook his head, becoming very firm at this moment.

"Then forget it."

"I only want this sword; everything else is off the table."

Su Ming's voice was flat.

She walked forward gently, the sound of her high heels crisp.

Su Ming smelled the expensive perfume on her at close range, but his expression remained cold and unchanged.

"Are you sure?" she asked.

Su Ming's face was like an iceberg.

"Sure." He nodded.

Jiang Lan shook her head slightly, clouds of gloom in her eyes.

She said in a deep voice: "Alright then."

"Yunqing, let's go."

Her eyes became cold, and she pulled Jiang Yunqing away.

Jiang Yunqing turned to look at Su Ming; at this moment, her gaze narrowed slightly.

It was the first time she had seen her sister not gain the upper hand in a negotiation.

This couldn't help but make her feel that Su Ming, this schoolmate, seemed to be more than just exceptionally talented...

His intelligence was also not simple.

Truly a strange person.

After the two left, Su Ming took a deep breath.

He never intended to accept this deal anyway.

But if he refused too bluntly, the other party would inevitably continue to pester him.

So, he said he wanted to buy the Dragon Frost Heaven Cold Sword just to force them away.

He knew they wouldn't buy such an expensive sword for him.

It was perfect; Su Ming was already planning to go to the most dangerous area to solo the hidden BOSS.

If he accepted the deal and had to bring Jiang Yunqing and protect her, how could Su Ming go to that dangerous area?

He didn't feel any regret about missing out on this free weapon.

In this world, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

The crowd looked at Su Ming, buzzing with noise.

He was clearly very poor, yet he actively broke off the deal and gave up the chance to get a free weapon, which really left people puzzled.

Su Ming remained expressionless, acting as if he didn't hear them.

He crossed the crowd, walked alone, and reached the front of the counter.

He said to a female clerk.

"Take that stone sword down." Su Ming's expression was flat, his words shocking.

The female clerk's eyes narrowed upon hearing this.

She followed Su Ming's finger and looked up.

She saw a lump of gray stone-like sword hanging in the glass cabinet on the wall.

It was pitted and ugly in appearance.

Vaguely, one could see the prototype of a long sword.

This was almost just a weapon embryo.

Let alone cutting people, it would probably be a struggle to even bruise someone.

Would someone really buy it?

The female clerk was filled with wonder.

"Are you sure you want this weapon?"

She asked, her red lips parting slightly.

She also knew Su Ming's name, the current ten-star Sword Master of Xuanjing City, a genius from the First High School.

She naturally didn't want to sell him a piece of junk weapon, leading to his death in the novice dungeon.

So out of kindness, she asked Su Ming.

Su Ming insisted on his choice and nodded.

The female clerk was helpless and had to operate the screen in front of her a few times.

Subsequently, the glass cabinet opened automatically.

She hooked her finger, and the counter moved down, presenting the stone sword before Su Ming.

Su Ming gripped the stone sword and weighed it. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
