1038 That's Not Right! That's Not the Script!
Old Porter's annoying voice kept ringing in Chu Feng's ears.
"As long as you give me another 5,000 Astral Beast Souls, the top-grade treasure will be yours…"
As he spoke, Old Porter seemed to be searching for something in his pocket.
The next moment, Chu Feng felt a golden light flash past. However, he could not see its exact appearance.
His eyes suddenly narrowed.
Could this old fart really have a top-grade treasure?
Should he trust him again?
Chu Feng was extremely conflicted.
Five thousand Astral Beast Souls was not much, so Chu Feng did not care.
But the feeling of being tricked was really uncomfortable!
Furthermore, from the bottom of his heart, Chu Feng had never believed that the so-called rules of the Imperial Court would deliberately create such a special hidden character just to toy with the candidates, right?
They should be better than this, right?!
Damn!
Let's take another gamble!
What if?
In any case, to Chu Feng, these few thousand Astral Beast Souls were nothing!
Trade!
Chu Feng could not be bothered to waste his breath on Old Porter. He directly chose to trade.
Old Porter, who had received the Astral Beast Soul, immediately beamed with joy again.
Chu Feng had a gloomy expression.
"So, where's the treasure?"
Old Porter laughed out loud.
"Little fellow, you're really naive. Old Porter likes innocent kids like you the most. You actually fell for it twice in a row. Hahaha…"
Old Porter laughed until he was out of breath.
Clearly, he was very proud.
At this moment, he had been tricked the second time. If it were an ordinary person, they would have flown into a rage.
Surprisingly, Chu Feng's expression did not change at all.
Beside him, Old Porter kept mocking him, laughing so hard that he was almost out of breath.
However, Chu Feng merely frowned slightly. He was not as flustered as someone who had been tricked twice.
Old Porter could not help but feel puzzled. His smile slowly froze on his face.
Since the person involved did not care, most of his sense of accomplishment in deception was instantly gone.
He couldn't help but ask, "Young man, you've been tricked by me again. Aren't you going to give me any reaction?"
Hearing those words, Chu Feng suddenly raised his head and glanced at the sloppy old man before him.
All of a sudden, it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck his heart.
Chu Feng seemed to have sensed a trace of disappointment in the depths of the sloppy old man's eyes.
"He's disappointed just because I didn't appear flustered and exasperated…"
Suddenly, Chu Feng felt that this matter was very interesting.
This old man had lied to him time and time again, as if he did not care about the Astral Beast Souls.
What he wanted was just the sense of accomplishment after deception. Or rather… what he liked was just to see those deceived people hysterical…
From the beginning to the end, this sloppy old man had been playing with him!
Suddenly, Chu Feng felt as if he had understood something.
If he were to put himself in the shoes of the designer of the rules… Perhaps they wanted to see those candidates who were deep in the trap looking furious but helpless?
Chu Feng had always known that this Starting Ground might be the "Colosseum" for those nobles and officials.
In that case, perhaps it could be explained.
Chu Feng suddenly smiled.
"This hidden place is definitely not simple!"
"Since you guys want to watch, I'll cooperate with you…"
Chu Feng did not have concrete evidence. However, his sixth sense told him that if he continued, he might obtain unexpected gains!
Thinking of this, the smile on Chu Feng's face widened. He even took the initiative to look at the sloppy old man.
"Esteemed Mr. Old Porter, do you still need Astral Beast Souls? I still have some here."
With this question, Old Porter was dumbfounded!
It was as if his entire body had crashed.
He stood rooted to the ground, not knowing how to answer.
Clearly, this was not in the rules!
Who would take the initiative to ask to be deceived after being tricked twice?!
This was not how the script was written!
However… according to the rules, he did need to ask for the third time if the candidate still had the Astral Beast Soul…
However, he did not expect the other party to guess it and beat him to it…
After a long time, Old Porter seemed to have reacted and stammered, "Ah… Well, you're really a generous young man…"
"Ahem… You're right. I do need some Astral Beast Souls…"
"As long as you're willing to give me 10,000 Astral Beast Souls, I'll give you a top-grade treasure…"
This was the third time he had said this.
But compared to the previous two times, Old Porter was very lacking in confidence this time.
How could this be?
He should be the deceiver here!
A smile flashed across Chu Feng's eyes.
It seemed like… he had guessed correctly.
This seemed to be a chain mission?
Deceiving the victim again and again, and enjoying the hopelessness and desperation, satisfied the vulgar taste of the person behind it…
Of course, Chu Feng was certain.
Even if it's just to toy with him, in the end, after their goal was achieved, they would definitely give him some rewards.
Reward for cooperating with the performance?
Perhaps.
From the beginning to the end, Chu Feng was only guessing.
However, a voice in his heart kept telling him that this matter could not be that simple.
Ordinary people would probably start to retreat after being tricked two or three times.
They would've long given up.
Not to mention seeing through illusions and prying into the essence.
However, Chu Feng did not believe in that.
If you want to play, I'll play with you!
Anyway, he only had a total of 100,000 Astral Beast Souls. At most, he would lose all of them. He could afford that!
Chu Feng did not believe that the rules had deliberately set up such a hidden character just to toy with the candidate.
Didn't little elves often say that there was a chance of survival for everything?
This was the rule of the Starting Ground!
Chu Feng became even more convinced of his judgment.
Facing Old Porter's third question, Chu Feng did not hesitate and chose to trade.
He gave away 10,000 souls!
Including the previous 6,000, this was no small number.
However, Chu Feng remained indifferent.
He looked at Old Porter.
"Esteemed Mr. Old Porter, have I been tricked again?"
At this moment, Old Porter began to become submissive. There was no longer a smile on his face as he nodded helplessly.
"Yes, young man. Unless you give me another 15,000 Astral Beast Souls…"
Hearing those words, Chu Feng's expression did not even change. Before Old Porter could finish speaking, he completed the transaction.
Ding… You have successfully traded 15,000 Astral Beast Souls.
He looked at the bewildered Old Porter.
Chu Feng smiled faintly.
"I know. I was tricked again, right?"
"So… do you still need more?"
Seeing the casual expression on Chu Feng's face, it was Old Porter's turn to cry.
He wanted to say… Get lost, showoff!
But according to the setting of the rules, he still had to continue asking!
He could only lower his head with an aggrieved expression.
"Young… young man, do… do you still have Astral Beast Souls?"
