Chapter 90

"Did Mr. Luo rob a blacksmith's shop?"

Yue Lingsu, well-traveled and knowledgeable, quickly recovered from her surprise and said in a joking tone.

"If it really were the case, would Young Lady Yue still dare to take them?"

Facing Luo Chenyu's provocative gaze, Yue Lingsu smiled faintly and said, "What is there to fear? Even if you robbed the Maoxiangong Society's goods, I'd still dare to take them!"

"Hahaha… Young Lady Yue is joking; I wouldn't dare make an enemy of the Maoxiangong Society!"

Luo Chenyu laughed as well. "Then please, Young Lady Yue, give me a price!"

The equipment covering the floor was, for the most part, all from Wu Yicheng.

No one knew what he was thinking, but his spatial backpack was stuffed with so many top-grade pieces of equipment—basically every class had some.

There were even several Tier 3 and Tier 4 skill books among them.

After Yu Zhilin and Ye Xingtong picked out a few pieces, they generously let Luo Chenyu handle the rest, directly filling his backpack space to the brim.

Whatever was usable, Luo Chenyu kept for himself.

The rest all needed to be dealt with.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Luo!" Yue Lingsu gave Luo Chenyu a deep look, then turned to the black-stockinged young lady beside her and said, "Xiaoyue, come help!"

"Okay, Sister Yue!"

Luo Chenyu sat at his leisure, watching the two busy young ladies with an appreciative gaze.

A little over ten minutes later.

Yue Lingsu slowly rose, looked Luo Chenyu straight in the eye, and said, "Those were just jokes earlier. I didn't expect Mr. Luo really did rob the Maoxiangong Society."

Many of these pieces of equipment had passed through her hands before being sold to the Maoxiangong Society.

And now, just a few days later, they had returned to her hands.

"Young Lady Yue is joking. I'm just a high school student—where would I get that kind of ability!"

Luo Chenyu remained perfectly calm and continued, "Doesn't the Longshan Trading House not inquire about the origins of its goods?"

"Mr. Luo is a student?"

Yue Lingsu was stunned for a moment, then said with a helpless laugh, "You… really can't tell at all!"

Apart from his strong physique, Luo Chenyu's composed demeanor and mature way of speaking—if he didn't say so himself, one would really think he was a Hunjishe Society old fox.

"So?" Luo Chenyu waved his hand. "Young Lady Yue, name a price!"

Yue Lingsu smiled faintly and slowly sat down across from Luo Chenyu.

"Mr. Luo is also a long-time customer, so let me give you the bottom line. Many of these pieces were sold out of here four days ago, and as for who they were sold to, you probably know. So how about those pieces at 80% of the selling price?"

Luo Chenyu's brows furrowed—already exposed?

He didn't trust Yue Lingsu, but he did trust the principal's words.

He nodded and said, "I don't understand what Young Lady Yue is talking about. Just name a price directly."

"Hehehe…"

Yue Lingsu covered her mouth and laughed softly. "Mr. Luo really doesn't trust sister, does he? Sister is so heartbroken."

"Since that's the case, sister will just say it straight."

"Please, go ahead!"

Yue Lingsu stretched out her hand and pointed at the larger pile of equipment. "These are the batch I mentioned—priced at 12 million!"

"As for these level 10 to 30 pieces, the quality is very high, so the price is appropriately higher as well. Unfortunately, the Dark Set is missing the chest piece… how about this, let's round it off—5 million!"

"Five skill books, among which two Tier 3 special skill books are worth quite a bit, and one Tier 4 ordinary skill book—totaling 30 million!"

"Plus a Tier 1 swordsman treasure—1 million!"

Having finished, Yue Lingsu looked at the big boy in front of her and smiled. "Well, Mr. Luo?"

Luo Chenyu's face was expressionless, seemingly in thought.

In truth, his heart was already blooming with joy.

48 million Xuanlong coins—that could buy a single room in the best Xinye villa district of Longhai City!

Killing and arson really do make money fast.

He pretended to hesitate, then nodded. "Fine. But I also want to buy some Tier 2 and Tier 3 tank skill books, as well as some first-turn temporary attribute potions!"

"Mr. Luo, 爽快!"

Yue Lingsu's smile grew even brighter. "Sister can gift you a set of first-turn temporary attribute potions, but as for tank skill books—sorry, they're out of stock right now."

"Out of stock?"

Luo Chenyu said in surprise, "The Longhai Trading House is the biggest trading house in Longhai City, and it doesn't even have a few tank skill books?"

"It's true. This period is already a hot-selling season, and besides…"

Yue Lingsu's expression shifted, and she said quietly, "There's a leadership change up top. Undercurrents are stirring in Longhai City, and these items have all been bought up by certain people!"

Leadership change?

Counting the time, it seemed to be this year.

In an instant, Luo Chenyu was speechless.

When gods fight, mortals suffer.

But he was about to leave Longhai City soon, so none of this concerned him.

"Alright, if any skill books come in, please keep an eye out for me, Sister Yue!"

"Since little brother Luo has called me sister, then sister must definitely keep some aside for little brother!"

Yue Lingsu's smile reappeared. "Little brother, sister here also has some tank treasures—would you like to take a look?"

"Tank treasures?"

"Bring them out and let me see!"

Treasures are very rare. Basically all treasures require 1st-Turn to activate. Treasures have no attributes or characteristics of their own; instead, they specialize in strengthening skill effects.

He didn't know whether treasures would have any effect on those improper skills.

Perfect, now he could test it out.

"Lingsu, go to the warehouse and bring them over for Brother Luo to look at."

A few minutes later.

Lingsu returned, holding two items in her hands, and handed them to Luo Chenyu.

【Steel Armor】

Type: Treasure (Defense)

Quality: C-Rank

Requirement: Level 10 (1st-Turn)

Additional Effect ①: 【Steel Shield】 Damage-absorbing shield value increased by 30%, skill cooldown reduced by 20%.

Additional Effect ②: 【Steel Shield】 Stackable count +1!

……

【Thorns】

Type: Treasure (Defense)

Quality: C-Rank

Requirement: Level 10 (1st-Turn)

Additional Effect: 【Thorn Shield】 Damage reflection ratio increased by 10%, and damage taken by the shield reduced by 5%.

Additional Effect: While 【Thorn Shield】 is active, additionally gain 20% HP recovery speed.

Note: Each professional can have at most three treasures active!

……

Luo Chenyu was slightly stunned.

The reason was that he felt 【Steel Shield】's intense longing for the treasure.

In other words, this treasure could take effect on his mutated skill.

"Sister Yue, how much are these two treasures in total?"

Since 【Steel Shield】 longed for it so strongly, Luo Chenyu didn't hold back any longer and directly asked the price.

Yue Lingsu held up one finger: "Ten million!"

"What??"

Luo Chenyu was instantly dumbfounded. A treasure that boosted a single skill was priced so outrageously high.
