Do it!

Do it

Haotian kept nodding, having a card is better than having none!

Haotian, though he couldn't be the best, also couldn't be left behind, so he immediately reached out toward the crystal ball.

A Golden Immortal-level magical treasure?!

When he received the system feedback, Haotian was completely stunned.

No way!

Chen Nuo wore a speechless expression, as he knew Haotian's pricing standards.

How could the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court hesitate over a Golden Immortal magical treasure? Now even Tianpeng and Xiao Tianquan could afford this price.

But Haotian's current thoughts were exactly the opposite of Chen Nuo's—he wasn't feeling pained, but rather fortunate.

His pricing standard was actually just a Golden Immortal realm magical treasure—this is too simple!

I originally thought I might need something as rare as a Nine-Thousand-Year Peach, but I didn't expect it to be just this. To prepare thoroughly this time, I even asked Yaochi for peaches, let alone magical treasures!

"Manager Chen"

Haotian straightened his back and instantly became firm.

"You say, if I top up a bit more at once, can the membership be upgraded?"

"Impossible"

Chen Nuo flatly refused. Topping up a bit more wouldn't give much more—before, Tianpeng even lost the tail tip of a god-slaying spear a hundred times over in meal money, and still he's just a basic member thinking his Chaos Residence idea is too shallow!

"Like this"

Haotian sighed, somewhat disappointed. He originally wanted to top up five hundred times at once, but now he can only top up a little at a time.

Haotian sighed inwardly, still, he might as well just top up ten times properly!

Thinking this, Haotian's heart stirred, and one magical treasure after another appeared before his eyes.

Not too many, not too few—exactly ten. Let's first test the waters.

Your Majesty suddenly took out so many magical treasures—what are you doing? Tai Bai Jin Xing was utterly confused.

And in the next moment, the scene that shocked him occurred.

The magical treasures taken out were actually swallowed one by one by this crystal ball on the counter!

Haotian's eyes showed surprise—although he had heard Yaochi's description, experiencing it personally was still quite novel.

"Congratulations, you have become a VIP member of my Chaos Residence"

Chen Nuo said with a smile.

Is that it? Haotian nodded, it's really simple.

Reaching out, Haotian said eagerly: "Manager Chen, where's my membership card?"

"What membership card?"

Chen Nuo was somewhat confused.

"That one!

The Shangshang Qian card, right?"

Haotian gestured.

"That one," Chen Nuo was somewhat speechless—why does Haotian keep staring at this card?

That thing is just something he made on a whim.

"Ordinary VIPs don't have cards"

Chen Nuo said lightly.

"Don't"

Haotian exclaimed in surprise—he was pointing at this very thing, yet they gave him no card!

His face showed several more points of flattery, Haotian quickly leaned in and said: "Manager Chen, just give me one card"

If he doesn't even bring back a membership card, he'll be mocked by Yaochi enough to make him furious!

Seeing Haotian so earnest and sincere, Chen Nuo had no choice.

"Then let's do this—card, I'll give you, but no special treatment, face—I'll give you that"

Upon hearing this, Haotian grinned widely, radiantly.

"That's exactly what I want—face"

The importance of face in the Three Realms is even greater than life.

Chen Nuo nodded, alright, anyway it's just a trivial matter for him.

"The basic member benefits will still be reserved for you"

Chen Nuo said, he doesn't mind losing one or two meals' worth of money, and casually pulled out a card identical to the one he gave Yaochi that day.

"Thank you, Manager Chen"

Haotian took it smoothly, glanced at it, and his face instantly fell—how could it be the Xiaxia Qian? "Manager Chen"

Haotian was a bit embarrassed, sighed, and still asked: "Can I exchange this card? This Xiaxia Qian is really unlucky"

Chen Nuo tugged at the corner of his mouth—Majestic Jade Emperor, still with plenty of affairs. Haotian laughed lightly, then said: "Manager Chen, please give me a card that sells better than Yaochi's"

Although he can't match the benefits, in terms of outward brilliance he cannot lose, Haotian thought.

These benefits and such—when he sees Yaochi, it won't be just two mouths flapping nonsense: "Is your card better looking than Yaochi's?"

Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows.

He didn't bother guessing Haotian's thoughts.

After selecting a daily-use item for a moment, Chen Nuo threw a token at Haotian.

"Does this work?"

Chen Nuo said lightly.

Haotian took it,

looking at the words on it, he murmured: "Great auspiciousness"

This word sounds smoother than the super auspicious lot from Yaochi when spoken aloud, and moreover, the carving pattern on it is extremely exquisite.

Although he has never personally touched Yaochi's crown card, just that one glance, he knows the tablet in his hand is far superior in appearance to Yaochi's.

"Thank you, Manager Chen"

Haotian's eyes brimmed with uncontainable delight; with this, his credibility when bluffing could increase significantly.

Chen Nuo nodded, this was a lucky charm he made from forest wood during his idle knife-play days.

Now it's not needed, using it to get by is just fine; as for what Haotian wants to use this thing for, he doesn't care.

After seeing Haotian off to his side, Chen Nuo turned his gaze to Tai Bai Jin Xing, this little old man, who still seemed somewhat cautious.

"Manager Chen, what should this little old man do?"

Tai Bai Jin Xing's face bore a respectful smile, yet his expression appeared utterly natural, with not the slightest hint of awkwardness.

No wonder he's a veteran of celestial assemblies, deeply versed in the way—truly a master.

"Just place your hand on it, feel the feedback from what you've gained in your mind, then take out what the crystal ball requires—this is your meal money."

Chen Nuo explained at length.

Ah, I see, Tai Bai Jin Xing suddenly understood, and followed instructions accordingly.

Following that, his eyes widened like light bulbs—what the hell, he actually wants my Geng Metal Breath!

Tai Bai Jin Xing's face showed deep embarrassment, even more so, some disbelief.

Every star possesses its own breath, which is precisely where its fundamental essence lies.

And as a transformed gold star, his primordial power is precisely this Geng Metal Breath; to him, this is of utmost importance.

Consuming even a trace requires him to condense for an exceptionally long time to replenish, yet seeing Chen Nuo and Haotian waiting nearby, he dare not refuse.

After all, these are all big shots; wanting to manipulate his life and death would be utterly simple.

Formidable power surpasses that of ordinary people!

Tai Bai Jin Xing let out a sorrowful cry in his heart, and had no choice but to submit.

He unwillingly paid the bill.

As for making him buy a membership, paying ten times at once—no way!

Seeing both had finished paying, Chen Nuo nodded and said: "Wait a moment"

"Master, who else has come outside?"

Seeing Chen Nuo enter the back kitchen, Ao Ling paused, his face full of curiosity as he looked toward him.

"Nothing much, just Haotian has arrived"

Seeing Ao Ling still somewhat dazed in his gaze, Chen Nuo realized, Haotian's title had long ceased to be used externally.

Ao Ling is a young dragon, not knowing much is perfectly normal, and moreover, the dragon clan would dare not directly utter Haotian's great name, unless he were acting spoiled.

Chen Nuo took out the ingredients he had used, then spoke again: "Just as you know, the Jade Emperor"

Ao Ling: "..."

His vermilion lips and cherry mouth slightly parted, presenting a dazed expression, yet Ao Ling soon regained his composure.

Normal, after all is the master; yesterday even the Queen Mother came by!
