Chapter 10: Shocked Wang Xiaopang

Wang Xiaopang knew that Ye Bai had disappeared for half a year because something had happened at home, and he also knew that Ye Bai had come to sell things.

Subconsciously, he assumed that Ye Bai was in urgent need of money and that what he was selling might even be things left behind by Ye Bai's deceased parents.

At that moment, a look of obvious pity flashed in his eyes.

He had once been the top student in both academic and practical combat classes at Third High School!

Wang Xiaopang knew how much effort Ye Bai had put in.

"If there were no side effects to the talent Ye Bai awakened, how could he have stopped at ten points of Qi and Blood, with not a single Martial University willing to take him?

His achievements wouldn't even be limited to little Jiangcheng, let alone falling to this point today..."

Wang Xiaopang sighed inwardly.

He immediately decided to do everything in his power to help Ye Bai!

If he gave Ye Bai money directly, it would very likely be refused.

Then he would add 20% to the original price of whatever Ye Bai wanted to sell!

And then throw in a Blood Qi Pill.

He would make up the difference with his own pocket money afterward!

However, upon hearing this, the corner of Ye Bai's eye twitched.

What kind of shop would hold an event that gives away Blood Qi Pills for free? Were they not trying to make money?

"Wang Xiaopang, something did happen at home; Qin Ayi, who raised me, has cancer and needs two hundred thousand in medical expenses."

"But I'll be able to scrape together enough money by tomorrow. I won't hide it from you: I am already a Ranked Martial Artist, and I just returned from hunting an Alien Race outside the city..."

Then, realizing that Wang Xiaopang had misunderstood and that the event was something he had come up with on the spot, he hurriedly explained clearly.

"Oh, I see.

But what does that have to do with the event in my shop?"

Wang Xiaopang played dumb directly.

"No way, no way, you don't actually think the event I mentioned is fake, do you?

You wait, I'm calling my dad right now!"

He picked up his phone and started tapping away.

The truth was that he believed the story about Qin Churan being sick, but he did not believe that Ye Bai had already become a Ranked Martial Artist.

"From the end of the Martial Arts Awakening Ceremony to the College Entrance Examination, that's a full five months!

It would already be a miracle if the current Ye Bai had 11 points of Qi and Blood, okay!"

Wang Xiaopang was just glad he hadn't given Ye Bai money directly.

"Click."

Ye Bai sighed and suddenly snatched the phone from Wang Xiaopang's hand.

This little fat man had been talking about making a call, but in reality, he had been typing the whole time.

He was now completely certain that the event was something Wang Xiaopang had come up with on the spot, just because he wanted to help him out.

"Hey, what are you doing?

Ye Bai, give my phone back!"

Wang Xiaopang was anxious.

He ran out from behind the counter and jumped up to try and get the phone back, but he couldn't reach Ye Bai's chest.

"No need to coordinate with your uncle.

I really am a Ranked Martial Artist now, I'm not short on money, and I'll be able to scrape together the medical expenses by tomorrow!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? I just accidentally deleted my dad's friend request and was waiting for him to accept it!

Why won't you believe me!"

"Why won't you believe me?"

Ye Bai rubbed his temples.

"This is my Exit Permit and City Map. Although they aren't signed, you should know that no Martial Artist would just throw these two things around."

He took out the permit and the map.

"And if you still don't believe me, look at the door. That lump-like backpack is mine, and it's filled with Exotic Beast Meat.

Because I used the backpack all day, it's already leaking blood, so I didn't bring it inside."

Then he pointed to the Specialized Backpack he had temporarily left at the door.

"This..."

"You really are a Ranked Martial Artist?!"

After saying this, Wang Xiaopang finally stopped jumping.

Although it still felt like a dream.

The evidence was just too convincing!

"Really!"

"My talent mutated. Not only are there no side effects, but my Qi and Blood increase at an exceptionally fast rate!"

"I am currently... well, First Grade Late Stage!"

Ye Bai thought for a moment before saying.

His rapid increase in Qi and Blood would be impossible to hide sooner or later.

The First Grade Mid-Stage Wind Wolf meat in the backpack also needed a reasonable explanation.

Talent mutation was a very good reason; there had been many similar examples over the past hundred years.

As for hiding some of his strength, the truth was just too shocking, and he still wanted to keep some trump cards for himself.

"Impossible!"

Wang Xiaopang subconsciously did not believe it either.

During the College Entrance Examination, he still only had 10 points of Qi and Blood; no Martial University was willing to take Ye Bai!

That Ye Bai has now reached Rank One is already a miracle among miracles.

It has only been a month; no matter how much his talent mutated, it's impossible to have achieved First Grade Late Stage, right?

"This is... First Grade Initial Stage, Black Panther meat?!"

"And there's First Grade Initial Stage Black Pig meat..."

"Hiss, how is there also First Grade Mid-Stage Wind Wolf meat?? And such a large quantity too?!"

Ye Bai led the skeptical Wang Xiaopang out of the Treasure Pavilion.

After the latter opened the Backpack and took a look, he couldn't help but gasp in cold air!

"Ye Bai, you, you really are First Grade Late Stage?!"

He looked at Ye Bai again.

Although it was a question, in reality, he already completely believed it!

"Heaven-defying, simply too heaven-defying!"

"No wonder you said 200,000 wasn't an issue; with the strength of a First Grade Late Stage, earning tens of thousands a day is indeed easy!"

After Ye Bai gave confirmation once more, Wang Xiaopang shrieked aloud.

Shocked, excited!

He felt happy for Ye Bai from the bottom of his heart!

Heaven knows how deep Wang Xiaopang's regret was when Ye Bai disappeared for half a year, especially when news spread that he only had 10 points of Qi and Blood during the College Entrance Examination!

"Is there still that promotion for the 100th customer getting a price increase?"

Ye Bai asked with a smile.

"Like hell there is. I haven't even reached Rank One yet; if there's any subsidy, it should be you, this monster, subsidizing me!"

Wang Xiaopang stopped putting on an act.

"Alright then, Boss Wang, inspect the goods. I'll give you a massive discount!"

"Forget it, you haven't even saved up enough for your medical bills yet; just charge what it's worth."

Wang Xiaopang chuckled and ran over to check the Backpack.

Soon, he gave a quote.

The buy-back price for Exotic Beast Meat is not based on weight, but on the beast's strength while alive and the number of portions; after all, the edible parts of every Exotic Beast are fixed.

For the two First Grade Initial Stage Exotic Beast meats, Wang Xiaopang quoted 2,100 per portion.

For the two Wind Wolves, Wang Xiaopang quoted 2,500 per portion.

Then, after the transaction is completed, Ye Bai needs to go to the Martial Artist Association himself to pay the 3% individual Martial Artist income tax.

"Ye Bai, what do you say? Are you going to trade with me right now, or go to the shops nearby to compare prices?"

"Don't worry, even if you sell to the shops nearby, it won't affect our relationship."

Wang Xiaopang said at the end, acting like a little boss.

"Let's trade directly."

Ye Bai knew the price Wang Xiaopang gave was very fair; he had initially thought he could only sell it for seven or eight thousand!

"Hehe, then many thanks, Boss Ye.

I'll pay the income tax for you directly, saving you a trip to the Martial Artist Association!"

Wang Xiaopang added.

The benefits of trading with an acquaintance were even more obvious.

A normal shop owner wouldn't help you pay taxes; it would require quite a bit of manpower during the process.

"I also have two Blood Qi Pills here..."

Ye Bai then took out the two Blood Qi Pills.

Although Wang Xiaopang was surprised that Ye Bai was even selling Blood Qi Pills, he didn't say anything.

"Beep, Alipay account received... yuan, balance... yuan."

The earnings were received, and the rewards for hunting Exotic Beasts outside the city had also been approved.

The account balance was already approaching 150,000!
