569: Chapter 569 Harvest
The three of them walked into the small town.
They finally stopped in front of a large, square building.
"This is the trading market. Anything obtained inside the Purple Sea can be traded here."
"Whenever the Purple Sea is open, this place is at its liveliest."
"Let's go."
The three walked into the lobby on the first floor.
Inside the lobby,
rows of receptionists stood there, all of whom were female without exception.
Seeing Xiao Weiqing and the others walk in, one of the women quickly walked over.
"Greetings, esteemed guests."
The woman's voice was soft and delicate, so much so that it made one feel a tingling sensation all over. Surprisingly, she had two fluffy tails growing behind her.
It was Xiao Weiqing's first time seeing such a thing, so he couldn't help but take an extra look.
"Ahem~~"
Jate nudged Xiao Weiqing with his elbow, signaling him to be careful.
"Uh... sorry."
Xiao Weiqing said, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but once he did, the receptionist also blushed. Fortunately, she was professionally skilled and immediately recovered.
"We are going to the 96th floor."
Upon hearing this, the woman became even more respectful. "Please, this way, esteemed guests."
"Let's go."
The three entered a luxurious and spacious elevator.
Ji Sheng laughed: "Did you take a liking to her?"
"No, no, I was just curious." Xiao Weiqing waved his hands quickly, feeling somewhat helpless.
Ji Sheng said: "If you like her, then you like her. Most of them are natives from the lower three heavens. If you like one, you can just tell them directly, or take them as a follower. Generally, they won't refuse you."
"I really didn't, it was just pure curiosity."
"What are we here for? Are we here to sell our treasures?"
Xiao Weiqing quickly changed the subject.
"Yes. For those treasures, if you have any use for them, keep them. If not, exchange them for credits here."
"How do we exchange them?"
"Find a merchant." Ji Sheng said matter-of-factly. "Come on, we have a fixed business partner. Let's go take a look first. If it doesn't work out, we'll find someone else."
Ding~
The elevator arrived at the 96th floor.
The elevator opened.
A fairly large lobby came into view, with over a dozen sofas and a few people sitting together chatting.
"Those are people waiting in line, and some are conducting private transactions."
"Do we have to wait too?"
Jate laughed: "Then you are really underestimating Ji Sheng. After all, he is an Advanced member."
Ji Sheng nodded slightly and signaled: "Go straight inside. I've already made an appointment."
At this moment,
a woman dressed like a secretary walked over.
"Ji Sheng, long time no see."
"Sister Yu, long time no see."
"Let's go, Manager Qiu is waiting for you."
"Alright."
The female secretary led Ji Sheng and the others into an office. The office was not big, and the style was very simple.
A long table made of unknown wood sat in the room, and a middle-aged man with a gentle appearance sat in front of it.
"Ji Sheng, I finally waited for you. I was really afraid you'd go to someone else." The middle-aged man laughed. "Sit down quickly."
"Uncle Qiu, your business is so big, what does my little bit of tinkering count for?" Ji Sheng said with a smile.
The three took their seats.
Manager Qiu laughed heartily. "Ji Sheng, this isn't just 'tinkering'. It's been a long time; you've become much more modest."
Ji Sheng shook his head. With Xiao Weiqing sitting right next to him, he couldn't be immodest even if he wanted to.
Manager Qiu also noticed Xiao Weiqing and raised an eyebrow. "This one looks a bit unfamiliar."
Jate said: "Xiao Weiqing, just joined the Sixth Heaven."
"Just joined? Could it be a newcomer who entered the Holy Land through the Ascension Battle?" Manager Qiu asked.
"Can't I have ascended from the Fifth Heaven?"
Manager Qiu laughed: "I have the information on everyone who ascended from the Fifth Heaven this year, and you are not among them."
Xiao Weiqing nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.
Jate interjected: "Uncle Qiu, let's save the small talk for later. Shall we look at the items first?"
"Good, I couldn't ask for more."
Manager Qiu waved his hand, and the entire table was cleared.
Jate waved his hand.
Clatter~~
More than forty treasures of various sizes scattered across the table. Among them, there were two gold-quality treasures, five red-quality treasures, and the rest were blue and green quality. There were no white-quality ones.
"Oh, a good harvest."
"I'll calculate it as 37,600 credits for you. Let's round it up to 38,000. How about that?"
Jate said: "Uncle Qiu, shouldn't rounding it up mean 40,000?"
Manager Qiu waved his hand, collecting all the treasures, and feigned anger: "40,000? Then how am I supposed to run my business?"
"The credits have been transferred, check them."
"I trust Uncle Qiu."
Manager Qiu looked at Ji Sheng. "What about yours?"
Ji Sheng waved his hand.
Clatter~~~
Nearly a hundred treasures appeared out of thin air, piling up into a small mountain on the table.
Manager Qiu's eyes lit up. "Good lad, I didn't misjudge you."
Among the pile of treasures, there were five gold-quality treasures, and over 10 red-quality treasures. The rest were mostly blue, with only a scattering of green.
"98,400 credits. Let's round it up to 100,000 for you too. How is that?"
"Hey, hey?" Jate was unhappy. "Uncle Qiu, you're treating us differently. There's no such thing as rounding up like that. Just give him 98,000."
"Hahaha~~" Manager Qiu laughed heartily. "That won't do, I can't ruin my reputation."
Ji Sheng said: "Uncle Qiu, let's make it 100,000. Happy to do business with you."
"Happy to do business with you!"
"The credits have been transferred to you, take a look."
"I trust Uncle Qiu."
After finishing the transactions with Jate and Ji Sheng, Uncle Qiu looked at Xiao Weiqing.
"What about you?"
Xiao Weiqing didn't hesitate and waved his right hand.
Ding~ Clang~ Clang~~
With a few crisp sounds, a few sparse treasures appeared: one gold, two red, and three blue.
Although there weren't many treasures, they shocked Manager Qiu.
"Divine Crystal?"
"The red treasures are also top-notch."
Manager Qiu took a deep look at Xiao Weiqing.
"Impressive skill."
"Just luck."
"Ji Sheng and Jate also have a share in this gold treasure; we took it down together."
Manager Qiu said: "That's also a skill."
The three cooperated, yet Xiao Weiqing was the one who secured the gold treasure. In Manager Qiu's view, this only further demonstrated Xiao Weiqing's strength.
"I'll value this Divine Crystal at 53,000 credits. Adding the two red-quality treasures and the three blue-quality treasures, that makes 73,000 in total. Any problems?"
Xiao Weiqing didn't answer immediately, but instead looked at Ji Sheng.
In his estimation, the two red items and three blue items were worth about 20,000 credits, so the price Manager Qiu gave was definitely not low.
The only thing he couldn't be sure about was the Divine Crystal, which was the main part of the value.
Ji Sheng nodded slightly.
Xiao Weiqing said: "That's fine."
"Good, then it's settled."
Manager Qiu collected the treasures and then said: "The credits have been transferred, take a look."
"I trust Manager Qiu."
Xiao Weiqing said this, but his hands didn't stop moving; he opened his virtual System and checked it carefully.
Manager Qiu: "..."
"Interesting."
"Here, this is for you."
Manager Qiu took out three black cards and pushed them toward the three of them.
Ji Sheng and Jate accepted them naturally.
After Xiao Weiqing picked his up, he asked: "What is this?"
