Chapter 168: Cruel Wen Yu and the Bullied Flat-Top Man

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A combat-class spirit qi professional would need a huge amount of resources to grow. If they could not keep up with the resources, they would waste their talents and affect their growth. There was no shortage of geniuses in this world who progressed slowly because of insufficient resources.

Just like Chu Ci, even if she had impressive potential, she might not even have a chance to go to school without Lin Yuan.

The flat-top man had ordinary qualifications, but he came from an affluent family. However, he was in dire straits now. Although his past glory had declined, he still had an enormous piece of land left.

After being in the society for a long time, he naturally understood the principle of the strong being respected.

His son had been gifted ever since he was young. He was now studying in the Spirit Qi Occupation Academy and was even a student of the key class.

Not long ago, a B-level guild club had shown interest in his son, so the flat-top man planned to sell the piece of land his ancestors had left behind and nurture his son.

As long as his son became a formidable combat-class spirit qi professional, it was possible to revive his family’s past glory.

Wen Yu had been watching the flat-top man’s nervous and hesitant expression. In fact, she saw that Lin Yuan had been looking at this piece of land for a long time. Given her understanding of him, she knew that he really fancied it. Otherwise, given his character, he would have long gone to see another place.

Therefore, she walked to the flat-top man and said, “It’s difficult to sell your piece of land!”

The flat-top man saw that Lin Yuan had not spoken and felt uncertain. Thus, his smile froze when he heard Wen Yu speak.

Wen Yu had always been carefully observing the flat-top man’s expressions. Now that he had an obvious change in his expression, she wore a smile on her face.

Even though her smile was gentle, the flat-top man did not think so. He only felt that her smile contained 30% of coldness, 30% of cynicism, and 40% of indifference. They added up to one meaning—they did not want to buy the land.

The flat-top man looked at Wen Yu with some indignation and almost blurted out, “You evil woman.”

Wen Yu did not know that a movie had started to play in his heart. She cleared her throat and said, “There are three reasons it’s hard to sell your piece of land. First, it’s too huge. Few people will buy such a large area of land for development. Second, it’s actually far from the Royal Capital. It would take at least half an hour with a Silver avian fey. Third, it will cost a lot of money to demolish so many dilapidated facilities.”

As Wen Yu spoke, the flat-top man’s expression turned even uglier. He nearly turned into a marmot and shouted at the open space, “Ah~!”

After Lin Yuan carefully looked at it and discussed it with Liu Jie, he decided to buy this piece of land.

Although the two pieces of land Liu Jie had picked were suitable to build Lin Yuan’s store, the one in the Royal Capital’s bustling area was a bit smaller than this. It was not even 1/100 of this land.

This was actually reasonable, as it was unrealistic to buy such a big piece of land in the Royal Capital’s bustling area.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Yuan still felt this piece of land was more suitable for him. When he was about to negotiate the price, he saw the flat-top man standing there with a face full of grievance.

Wen Yu said to the flat-top man calmly, “The price you just stated is still unreasonable. If you are selling at this price, I don’t know how long you’ll take to sell it!”

The flat-top man gnashed his teeth in grievance and replied, “8,000,000 Radiance dollars.”

Upon hearing that, Wen Yu shook her head calmly and answered, “Not only do we have to demolish these old facilities, we still have to fill in the ground and compress it. Look at how many old facilities you have here. If you sell it at 8,000,000 Radiance dollars, you have to help us demolish them.”

The flat-top man was on the verge of wailing, but he ground his teeth and replied, “7,500,000 Radiance dollars. I’m not selling any lower than that!”

Lin Yuan was a bit dumbfounded, as he did not expect Wen Yu to have a bargaining talent.

Wen Yu spoke in a gentle voice, but she was about to make this flat-top man cry. Her bargaining skills were simply too powerful!

This made Lin Yuan want to complement something he had seen in his previous life.

A flat-top, white hair, and a silver cloak!

I’m the fiercest in this desert continent!

I’m invincible around the world!

But I don’t dare to go to Dongzhou¹!

Lin Yuan had discussed this piece of land with Liu Jie. Buying it for 12,000,000 Radiance dollars would be just right, and any higher than that would be a loss.

The flat-top man had given Liu Jie a price of 10,000,000 Radiance dollars. According to the market, Lin Yuan had earned it.

However, Wen Yu had chatted with the flat-top man and managed to lower the price by 2,500,000 Radiance dollars— buying it at that price was a solid profit!

Although the flat-top man had lowered the price, he was not dumb. He had previously refused to lower the price, so he had been unable to sell it for two years.

Now that his son had grown up, he urgently needed Radiance dollars to nurture his fey. In order not to waste his son’s talent, the flat-top man could only reluctantly sell this piece of land at a lowered price.

Otherwise, based on the Radiance Federation’s news, when the dimensional rift became active in a few months, he would not be able to sell this piece of land.

Lin Yuan eventually bought the land with 7,500,000 Radiance dollars.

At that moment, Wen Yu suddenly whispered to Lin Yuan, “Actually, we can just scare him by saying we won’t buy it. I still can lower the price by at least 100,000 Radiance dollars.”

Lin Yuan felt that she was really impressive. Although Wen Yu’s contracted feys could not fight, she was really a great genius in internal affairs!

He brought Wen Yu and Liu Jie to follow the appropriate procedures with the flat-top man.

Soon, Lin Yuan became the official owner of this piece of land.

Then, Wen Yu took on the task of rebuilding the manor under the somewhat distrustful gazes of Lin Yuan and Liu Jie.

Lin Yuan clearly had to transform this place so that people could stay there. He brought Liu Jie to the Royal Capital’s Creation Master Association and was prepared to rent a breeding room, where he planned to evolve Chimey into a Fantasy Breed and hatch the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee before enhancing it.

They both arrived inside the breeding room, and Lin Yuan took out Liu Jie’s Legend Insect Queen with a flip of his hand. The moment he did that, Liu Jie widened his eyes in surprise.
