Chapter 128: A Gentleman Loves Money and Is Right To Take It

Translator: Atlas Studios      Editor: Atlas Studios

Hearing this price, Wang Xiao was immediately tempted. Although 10,000 star coins was not much, he did not need to do anything. He just needed to lend the other party the [Nirvana Mask].

Moreover, after blocking the fatal damage for Qi Lianjun, the [Nirvana Mask] had also decreased from orange quality to purple. The greatest use for Wang Xiao might only be the [Disguise] skill.

Although it was not convenient for Wang Xiao to go out without the [Nirvana Mask] , he would be fine with not going out for a few consecutive days if he could earn 10,000 star coins a day!

However, on second thought, Wang Xiao felt that something was wrong.

With the reputation of the Lord’s Shop on the Blue Planet, even if they did not dare to say that they could deal with the underworld, the various factions had to give them some face. What was this matter that required them to change their appearance?

“Theft? Robbery? Assassination?”

Several thoughts flashed through Wang Xiao’s mind, but he immediately rejected them. This was because one could spend some money to get someone to do these things. What Lin Xiang wanted to do must be done personally and not be recognized…

Suddenly, Wang Xiao’s expression changed as he sized up Lin Xiang with a strange gaze. “Don’t tell me you want to barge into a female bathhouse?”

“What?”

Lin Xiang was stunned. When he regained his senses, he panicked. “What nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?”

“That’s hard to say!”

Wang Xiao sneered and sized up Lin Xiang from the corner of his eye. He curled his lips and teased, “You can’t judge a book by its cover…”

“You!”

Lin Xiang was so angry that he couldn’t say anything. After a few seconds, he waved his hand. “Mr. Wang, let’s get down to business. What do you think?”

Seeing Lin Xiang’s serious expression, Wang Xiao also became serious. “I can rent the item to vou. but I want to know what vou’re thinking. If it’s something illegal, I won’t rent it to you!”

Actually, Wang Xiao was just saying it casually. However, when he said the words “illegal”, he clearly saw Lin Xiang’s eyes flash.

“Seriously?” Wang Xiao revealed a surprised expression. “Don’t tell me…”

“Mr. Wang!”

Lin Xiang covered Wang Xiao’s mouth and subconsciously looked around. After confirming that there was no one else, he whispered, “Mr. Wang, although this matter is a little inappropriate, it’s definitely not illegal. Don’t spout nonsense!”

Wang Xiao pushed away Lin Xiang’s hand, but he did not say a word. He only blinked and waited for the other party to continue.

Seeing this, Lin Xiang knew that he had no choice. He immediately lowered his voice and explained, “We received reliable news that the military has discovered a new large secret realm and is currently exploring it.”

Wang Xiao nodded. He had heard from Xu Junrou about this matter. The connections of the Lord’s Shop were complicated, so it was not strange for the other party to know about this.

Lin Xiang continued, “According to the usual practice, the military will evaluate the new secret realm after the exploration. According to the resources and danger level, they will decide if they want to open it to the civilians.” “This is to ensure the safety of the lords, right?”

Wang Xiao asked, “After all, some secret realms are extremely dangerous. If we rashly open them to the common people, ordinary lords will definitely not be able to return after entering.”

Lin Xiang nodded. “That’s true, but if the military decides not to open this secret realm, the resources inside will be completely locked, so…”

At this point, Lin Xiang raised his head and looked around again. After confirming that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and whispered, “So we want to take the opportunity of the military exploring the secret realm to send someone in to take a look…”

“You want to secretly explore a large secret realm?!”

Wang Xiao’s expression changed. “This is an act prohibited by the military! Isn’t this still against…”

“Lower your voice! ”

Lin Xiang hurriedly covered Wang Xiao’s mouth and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “We’re just sending someone in to take a look. It’s best if we can obtain the resources. If we can’t, we won’t force it. We definitely won’t be discovered by the military!”

“What if your people die inside?”

Wang Xiao pulled off Lin Xiang’s hand and asked, “I know you definitely won’t mistreat his family, but what about my item? The military knows that I have this item!”

Lin Xiang originally wanted to persuade him again, but when he heard that the military Imew that Wang Xiao had this item, he could not finish his sentence.

The people they sent were definitely experienced, but who could guarantee that nothing would happen?

If that person died inside, the military might not suspect the Lord’s Shop. However, according to the disguise mask, they would definitely be able to immediately trace it to Wang Xiao.

Although this was not a serious crime, the military would definitely punish him severely in order to make an example of him. At that time, would Wang Xiao take the blame for the Lord’s Shop? The answer was naturally no.

There was no need to continue chatting about this matter. Coincidentally, at this moment, Zhou Xiruo, who had chosen the items, returned.

“Manager Lin, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

Wang Xiao stood up from the sofa and looked at Lin Xiang. There was a hidden meaning in his words. “A gentleman loves money and is right to take it… You’re on your own!” “I got it.”

Lin Xiang forced a smile. Wang Xiao went to the front desk to settle the bill and then left the Lord’s Shop with Zhou Xiruo.

After leaving the house and arriving at the street, Zhou Xiruo turned around and looked at the Lord’s Shop. She asked curiously, “Wang Xiao, what were you talking about just now? Why do I feel that your expression isn’t too good?” “It’s nothing. It’s just that the price of the few ores in my hand has fallen a lot.”

Wang Xiao lied calmly. “If I had known earlier, I would have sold it a few days ago. I lost thousands of star coins in vain! ”

“Are you generous or stingy? You spent tens of thousands to buy me items, and now you’re feeling sorry for a few thousand star coins?”

Zhou Xiruo rolled her eyes angrily. Then, she took out a small brocade box and handed it to Wang Xiao. “I didn’t spend your money for nothing. This is a gift for you!”

“You bought me a present with my own money?”

Wang Xiao sneered and teased, “How cunning!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiao realized that Zhou Xiruo’s expression was not good. He hurriedly took the brocade box with a straight face. After opening it, he saw an exquisite mithril ring with a crystal clear purple gem embedded in the ring.

[Protective Ring (Purple)]

[Protection: After the wearer activates it with energy, it produces a defensive field of a unit area that can resist all indirect attacks.]

[Usage level: Unlimited]

[Usage Count: Unlimited]

Seeing that it was a purple quality item, Wang Xiao’s expression immediately lit up. However, when he saw the introduction at the end, his expression became subtle again.

“What for?”

Zhou Xiruo acutely captured the change in Wang Xiao’s expression and immediately frowned. “You don’t like it?”

“No, I like it very much!”

Wang Xiao hurriedly shook his head. “The function of this item is very powerful. It’s just that this defensive field can only envelop two to three people at most…’

At this point, Wang Xiao specially looked at Zhou Xiruo’s expression and discovered that there was nothing unusual.. Then, he carefully continued, “Isn’t it a little too useless?”
