73 You Can’t Judge a Book by Its cover!

The moment his fingertips touched the resource ball, a large amount of information surged into Wang Xiao’s mind.

This resource ball contained ten million units of ore, but it was the most common [black iron ore], which was iron ore with impurities.

After checking the items in the resource balls in succession, Wang Xiao revealed an “as expected” expression and silently retreated to the side without looking again.

In the beginning, he was indeed shocked by the vast amount of resources in the Lord’s Shop. However, after checking, he realized that it was nothing much.

He randomly checked six resource balls. Four of them were common resources like [Black Iron Ore] and [Bronze Ore]. The other two were filled with spirit grass, but the quality was also not low.

This alone was not enough for Wang Xiao to come to a conclusion.

However, after the bearded man received one of the spirit grass resource balls, he clearly revealed an excited expression. This was enough to show that they had not seen anything good here.

However, it made sense. The Lord’s Shop had to import goods once a month. If it was an astronomical number of scarce resources every time, the resources on the Blue Planet would probably have long been emptied.

As Wang Xiao was thinking, he suddenly felt someone approaching. He looked up and realized that it was the manager, Lin Xiang.

Seeing that Wang Xiao had discovered him, Lin Xiang immediately revealed a professional smile. “Mr. Wang… doesn’t seem to be interested in this batch of resources?”

“Not really. The main reason is that I’m not here to buy resources today.”

Wang Xiao smiled and went straight to the point. “I have a batch of ores in my hand and want to discuss a cooperation with you…”

Before he could finish speaking, the dozen or so lords who were choosing suddenly sneered.

“Another fly!”

The bearded man looked at Wang Xiao and said disdainfully, “Friend, I think it’s not that you’re not interested, but that you don’t have money, right?”

Lin Xiang knew Wang Xiao’s identity and hurriedly explained, “Mr. He, please…”

“Manager Lin, you don’t have to say anything!”

The bearded man waved his hand and revealed a loyal expression. “I know you’re doing business and can’t offend customers casually. I’ll be the villain for you!”

As he spoke, the bearded man took a few steps forward and sized up Wang Xiao from the corner of his eye. “Friend, it’s not easy to be a supplier of the Lord’s Shop! If you want to be a supplier, you have to provide at least a million units of resources every month!

“Take me for example—”

The bearded man patted his chest arrogantly. “I can provide three million units of ore every month. Only then can I barely have the right to choose first. From the looks of it, you don’t have much money. It’s better for you to wash up and sleep early!”

Wang Xiao said indifferently, “I have six million units of high-quality ores.”

“Tsk! A mere six… Wait!”

The bearded man snorted coldly. Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Wang Xiao. “How much did you say? Six… million? And they are even high-quality ores?!”

Wang Xiao nodded. “I don’t know the type for the time being, but there should be [Fine Iron Ore], [Fine Copper Ore], and [Black Gold Ore].”

With every word Wang Xiao said, the bearded man’s eyes widened. When he mentioned the [Black Gold Ore], his eyes almost fell out!

“Mr. Wang, is what you said true?”

At the side, Lin Xiang could not help but ask. He had been pursing his lips as he spoke, and he was already shocked to the point his mouth was dry!

[Black Gold Ore] was an important material for making purple quality items.

Although this mineral was distributed in many places, the ores could only be found in the [Black Gold Mountain Range]. Moreover, the production of this ore was extremely low. Even a few kilometers long mountain range could only produce a few hundred units.

There were only a few secret realms with the [Black Gold Mountain Range]. Even in the entire Blue Planet, the annual production was only tens of thousands of units.

Because they cherished it, even if the lord of the Blue Planet only obtained half a unit of ore, he would keep it for later use. Wang Xiao was actually taking it out to sell now?

When the dozen or so lords who were choosing goods heard the news, they hurriedly gathered. More than ten people and more than twenty eyes stared at Wang Xiao as if they wanted to pierce him with their gazes!

Wang Xiao also knew how precious the [Black Gold Ore] was and naturally could understand these people’s excitement.

“I do have Black Gold Ores, but I don’t have a lot. There are about dozens of units.”

Wang Xiao deliberated for a moment and said. Although this number was already reserved, it was enough to make these people excited.

Seeing the green eyes of the dozen or so people, Lin Xiang immediately regretted it. If he had known that Wang Xiao was here for this today, he would have invited him upstairs long ago!

“Everyone!”

Lin Xiang took a step forward and blocked Wang Xiao behind him. He smiled at everyone and said, “I’m really sorry to disturb everyone from choosing the goods. We’ll talk upstairs now!”

As he spoke, Lin Xiang wanted to take Wang Xiao away. He Dazhi and the others could not take it anymore. Once the two of them agreed to cooperate, the [Black Gold Ore] would enter the inventory of the Lord’s Shop.

At that time, not to mention whether they could buy it, even if they could, it might cost them a lot more!

As he thought this, more than ten people hurriedly went forward and surrounded Lin Xiang and Wang Xiao. Lin Xiang had interacted with these people for more than ten years. He immediately knew what these guys wanted to do!

However, Lin Xiang would not let go of a big fish like Wang Xiao no matter what. Then, he pulled a long face and asked coldly, “Everyone, do you want to cause trouble in the shop?”

He Dazhi chuckled. “Manager Lin, don’t misunderstand. Since we’re all doing business, be it buying or selling, we have to consider the options so that we won’t lose out!”

As he spoke, He Dazhi even winked at Wang Xiao. This hint could not be any more obvious.

When Lin Xiang saw this, he was immediately so angry that the veins on his forehead twitched. The other party was prying customers in front of him in the Lord’s Shop. Did the other party still take him, the branch manager, seriously?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiang made up his mind and prepared to use force.

Although this might offend the supply lord, since Wang Xiao could sell the [Black Gold Ore], it meant that he definitely did not lack this thing.

Moreover, Lin Xiang knew Wang Xiao’s true identity. To be able to rope in this national idol who resisted the invasion of the Crimson Star was definitely a great merit to him. He would not lose out even if he lost a few suppliers!

However, just as Lin Xiang was about to flare up, Wang Xiao suddenly said from behind, “Since everyone is interested, why don’t we talk here?”

“Alright, alright, alright! Let’s talk here!”

When the dozen or so supply lords saw that Wang Xiao was willing to negotiate, they all nodded happily. They moved chairs, poured water, and massaged their shoulders. Although there was no communication, their tacit actions made it seem as if it had been rehearsed countless times!

On the other hand, Lin Xiang, who had been squeezed to the side, was not so happy. He stood at the side and gritted his teeth. His ashen face looked as if he had been stung by the [Black Armor Poison Scorpion]!
