Chapter 420: Are You Worthy?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Once Zhou Luo heard this youth with a strange mask in the store call out his name, he was finally sure that he hadn’t gone to the wrong place.
He was surprised to look at the furnis.h.i.+ngs around the store and was somewhat in disbelief that this legendary Purchase With No Loss Fey Store didn’t have any feys or spiritual materials but only an ordinary table.
Zhou Luo hurriedly said, “My name is Zhou Luo. Can my main fey, the Iron Bone Iguana, reach your standard?”
Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan flipped his hands and summoned a chair that was the same as the one Lin Yuan was sitting on. Both were gifted by Star Web when he had opened his store.
At that moment, Zhou Luo heard one of the youths with a strange mask say, “Take a seat first. There’ll be someone in a while. We’ll talk when everyone is here.”
Zhou Luo sat down on the chair and secretly sized up the two masked youths sitting not far from him.
Based on the masks alone, he could tell that the man in the white-and-blue long robe was obviously of a higher status than the man in the red-and-gold half-body armor. The former should be the Purchase With No Loss store’s owner.
At the same time, Zhou Luo felt dejected. His Iron Bone Iguana was just a Platinum IX/Fantasy I fey. It was hard to say who would win if it fought with those Diamond IV or Diamond V feys in terms of strength.
Did such strength really have a chance to fight for a future?
At that moment, the most beautiful future that Zhou Luo dreamed of was to be able to get five heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls produced from the Scorching Elemental Sh.e.l.lfish so that his main fey, the Iron Bone Iguana, could mutate the huge sarcoma on its neck into a second head.
Just as Zhou Luo was letting his imagination run wild, Lin Yuan had set up entry access to his Purchase With No Loss store where only Freezing Cold could enter later.
The setting of the entry access was the privilege of a private store owner on Star Web. Of course, except for stores like Lin Yuan’s store that were not worried about having buyers at all, other stores might not even use this privilege once in their lifetime.
Time flew by, and half an hour pa.s.sed quickly. Lin Yuan’s eyebrows slowly frowned. The time had come to the appointed ten o’clock, but Freezing Cold didn’t appear during this appointed timing.
After another five minutes, just as Lin Yuan was ready to remove Freezing Cold’s access from entering the door, a tall and strong man walked in. He was Freezing Cold.
He scanned the room and walked to Lin Yuan before saying carefreely, “I was watching the compet.i.tion video in the Star Web video library, so I was five minutes late.”
When Lin Yuan heard Freezing Cold’s careless tone, his brow furrowed even more tightly. He changed the question mark on Freezing Cold into a cross in his heart. His careless att.i.tude showed that he didn’t take this meeting seriously at all.
Not only did it show his contempt toward Lin Yuan’s faction, but it also showed that Freezing Cold was not a punctual person.
Before Lin Yuan could say anything, Lin Yuan heard Freezing Cold speak again.
“You don’t have as much good stuff inside this little store as others have told me!
“I would like you to show me first. If it doesn’t meet my expectations, it’s not worthwhile wasting time with you here.”
Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan’s furrowed eyebrows relaxed, but he no longer placed his gaze on Freezing Cold.
Lin Yuan asked with a tone no different from usual, “Did you come to me intending to exchange this Bronze/Epic fey for your allegiance?”
Freezing Cold shook his head and replied, “Allegiance? What kind of allegiance? The allegiance oath is definitely impossible, but I can complete missions according to your orders. After completing a certain amount of missions, I’ll exchange for this Bronze/Epic lizard fey.
“If your mission is harder to complete, I can also find more king-cla.s.s experts to help you complete it, but you’ll need to pay for that.
“Of course, if you’re willing to give me this Bronze/Epic lizard fey first, I can take 10% less for each mission’s payment.”
Just as Freezing Cold finished speaking, a low voice echoed.
“Give you the Bronze/Epic fey first? Are you worthy?”
Liu Jie, who was clad in red-and-gold half-armor, had stood up. Based on what Lin Yuan had just told him, Liu Jie knew that the purpose of coming to the Star Web store this time was to recruit king-cla.s.s experts and let them become Sky City’s white-clothed followers.
Essentially, Lin Yuan planned to start expanding Sky City’s martial force, and he had also said that he would provide Bronze/Epic feys to the newly recruited white-clothed followers.
This was akin to saying that Lin Yuan was going to make a considerable investment into each white-clothed follower.
Probably few people would understand Lin Yuan’s wealth and overbearingness clearly more than Liu Jie, who had been with him since the earliest days.
However, this tall and strong man in front was talking big and wanted to obtain the Bronze/Epic feys first, yet he was unwilling to pledge allegiance. He was simply too greedy.
If Lin Yuan took out the Bronze/Epic fey, he could hire a pinnacle king-cla.s.s expert squad to go on a mission. Rather than hiring such a king-cla.s.s expert without a sense of time to do multiple missions, it was still better to hire a king-cla.s.s expert squad.
Freezing Cold showed a dissatisfied look on his face.
“This is just a Star Web store. If I hadn’t heard from someone before that you’ve sold any species of Bronze/Epic feys in this store, I wouldn’t have thought of coming to your place to do odd jobs. Your Star Web store is still far from our Huge Axe Mercenaries!”
Liu Jie’s face became even gloomier. On the other hand, Lin Yuan was not angry but just a little dumbfounded.
Lin Yuan had always been used to treating other factions as leeks and would always harvest them like crazy with the items produced in his Spirit Lock spatial zone.
But this time, a king-cla.s.s expert, who obviously had a faction that he had pledged allegiance to, wanted to come to his Purchase With No Loss store to take up missions to reap the benefits for himself. Freezing Cold wanted to reap his leeks and also earn the price difference as a broker.
Speaking of the Huge Axe Mercenaries, Lin Yuan had learned about all the factions from Wen Yu, but there was really no such name.
Lin Yuan glanced at Liu Jie and asked, “Big Brother Liu, have you heard of the Huge Axe Mercenaries?”
Liu Jie shook his head and looked at Freezing Cold with an even gloomier gaze.
