Chapter 8

Moreover, among the novices in Profound Heaven City, he was the easiest to buy among those with talent.

Other geniuses were basically not short of money!

He rubbed his chin and looked at Jiang Lan.

He revealed a harmless expression and said with a smile.

"Fine, then I want to buy the Dragon Frost Heavenly Cold Sword."

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, the Dragon Frost Heavenly 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 a silver-grade weapon would be enough to dismiss this naive, poor student.

The surrounding students also looked slightly shocked.

"Is Su Ming a bit too thick-skinned? Even though he's the stat king among novices, don't forget his profession is Sword-wielding 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 class-changer, and whether he can even equip it is a question!"

Listening to the people, 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 look bad!

She narrowed her eyes, and her expression turned 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 confused.

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 let Su Ming have his way for the sake of her face.

For a merchant, money is always the priority.

Weighing the pros and cons is the most important thing.

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

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

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

She flashed a professional smile.

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

"Then forget it."

"I only want this sword; anything else is out of the question."

Su Ming's voice was flat.

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

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 said, nodding.

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

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

"Yunqing, let's go."

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

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

This was the first time she had seen her sister fail to gain the upper hand in a negotiation.

This couldn't help but make her feel that Su Ming, this schoolmate, seemed not only to have top-tier talent...

But his intelligence was also not simple.

What a strange person.

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

He had never intended to accept this deal.

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 Heavenly Cold Sword just to force them away.

He knew the other party 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 take 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 poor, yet he took the initiative to break off the deal and give up the chance to get a free weapon, which really puzzled people.

Su Ming remained expressionless, acting as if he hadn't heard.

He cut through the crowd, walking alone toward the counter.

He said to a female clerk.

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

The female clerk heard this and her eyes narrowed slightly.

She followed Su Ming's finger and looked up.

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

It was pitted and ugly in appearance.

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

This was almost just a weapon blank.

Let alone cutting people, it would probably be hard to even hurt someone with it.

Would someone really buy it?

The female clerk was amazed.

"Are you sure you want this weapon?"

She parted her red lips and asked.

She also knew Su Ming's name, the ten-star Sword-wielding Master of Profound Heaven City and a genius of the First High School.

Naturally, she didn't want to sell him a piece of junk weapon that would lead 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 had no choice but to operate the screen in front of her.

Then, the glass cabinet opened automatically.

She hooked her finger, the counter moved down, and the stone sword was presented to Su Ming.

Su Ming held the stone sword and weighed it.

The weight was good.

A faint golden light flashed in his eyes.

Whoosh.

It was almost just a fleeting moment.

It was the Eye of Insight.

He scanned the information of this stone sword.

[Weapon Stone Embryo (Silver)]

[A reward dropped by a fierce beast in a certain F-grade dungeon.]

[It looks like an ordinary stone long sword, but after shattering the stone shell, it can be unsealed, revealing a sword of (Silver) quality inside.]

This was the sword!

In his past life, Su Ming had seen a student buy this sword with his own eyes.

Then, he accidentally shattered the stone casing in the novice dungeon, revealing its true appearance.

That was how he knew the truth about this sword.

"Very good, how much is it?"

Su Ming asked, holding the stone sword in one hand.

His strength stat was a full 10 points, almost 2 or 3 times that of other students.

So he didn't feel it was heavy at all while holding it in one hand.

A transparent screen appeared in front of the female clerk, displayed before Su Ming.

"Student, according to our shop manager's requirements, every year on Awakening Day, students can get a discount based on their awakening level."

"Class-changers with stats above 5 stars can buy weapons at 50% off!"

"The original price of this stone sword is 1000 Arrival Coins."

"The discounted price for you is 500 Arrival Coins."

Su Ming nodded slightly upon hearing this.

He was quite satisfied with this price, and it was within his budget.

After all, other silver weapons easily cost around 10,000.

Just take this opportunity to get it!

Su Ming knew very well that if the stone seal were broken, the price of this sword would at least increase tenfold.

Su Ming's total savings were currently less than 800.

He was determined to get this sword.

With a thought, his personal balance appeared in front of him.

The entire Blue Star had long been digitized, and transactions were completed using data.

In just an instant, the account balance was transferred.

[Transaction Complete]

This sword immediately became Su Ming's item.

"Thank you for your purchase!"

The female clerk bowed slightly, showing a polite but insincere smile.
