Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents

Chapter 1043 - 636: Selling Glittering Gold, Plotting Against Qin Xue Together_2

He stood beside Lu Lin, surpassing a thousand words.

After everyone had received a piece of Glittering Gold, Qin Xue became increasingly unbalanced inside. Now, among the more than a hundred students in the class, she was the only one who didn’t have any Glittering Gold in her hands.

However, asking her to pay Lu Lin to buy it felt worse than being killed.

Taking advantage of no one noticing, Qin Xue found Lin Yaowu, a classmate with whom she had a reasonably good relationship.

"Lin Yaowu, can you help me buy a piece of Glittering Gold?"

"What’s wrong, Qin Xue? You didn’t manage to buy any?" Lin Yaowu asked curiously, surprised at Lu Lin becoming Qi Wudi’s servant.

Regardless, being a scavenger couldn’t compare with venturing into the Main World for a taste of adventure, which could add a touch of color to Lu Lin’s otherwise dull life.

Regarding Lu Lin obtaining so much Glittering Gold, Lin Yaowu wasn’t particularly upset.

In his view, if Lu Lin found it, it proved Lu Lin’s ability. If not, then Qi Wudi gave Glittering Gold to Lu Lin to sell.

Either way, both possibilities had nothing to do with Lin Yaowu.

He only needed to buy the Glittering Gold he required.

"I, I want to buy a bit more, but I’m afraid going directly might upset Qi Wudi. Can you help me?"

Qin Xue pleaded pitifully, and truth be told, her pretty face showing such an expression was irresistible to ordinary people. At least, Lin Yaowu found it hard to resist.

"Alright, how much do you want? I’ll help you buy it."

"As much as possible. I have a million gold with me. Take it, buy more, and preferably empty Qi Wudi’s stock. If it’s not enough, you can write them a promissory note."

"A promissory note?" Lin Yaowu frowned. What kind of suggestion was Qin Xue giving?

"Don’t worry, you write the promissory note, and I’ll pay back all the money owed later. I can swear that no matter how much is owed, I’ll repay you."

"This..."

Lin Yaowu looked at Qin Xue with a puzzled expression.

Glittering Gold, an essential resource for cultivation, theoretically, the more, the better, but it had to have a limit.

With their Gang Member Level abilities, even if they absorbed all they could, a year’s absorption of one jin would be commendable.

What would be the point of so much Glittering Gold? The key here was that Lu Lin knew everyone was preparing for the assessment, and his selling price was three times the normal. It’s too expensive.

"Rest assured, I can now make a Heavenly Oath that I won’t deceive you. Just go ahead and buy it."

Qin Xue said and, in front of Lin Yaowu, made an oath, which reassured Lin Yaowu somewhat.

"Alright, I’ll help you, but Lu Lin might not have that much Glittering Gold left; he already sold quite a bit just now."

"Do your best."

Qin Xue smiled as she spoke.

Lin Yaowu looked at Qin Xue, feeling the Miss was a bit odd today, but of course, these things didn’t concern him much.

Because everyone had already gotten their Glittering Gold, Lu Lin could finally take a breather.

After this sale, he had grown closer to Tan Cong and Ma Lin, and with the taciturn Qi Wudi added, they formed a strange group of four.

At this moment, Lin Yaowu’s arrival naturally drew everyone’s attention.

"Lu Lin, how much Glittering Gold do you have left?"

Lin Yaowu asked.

"Plenty, how much do you need?"

"Plenty?" Lin Yaowu’s heart skipped a beat but then smiled, "Alright, I have a million gold here. See how much Glittering Gold you can give me, I’m taking care of your business, so there should be some discount, right?"

"A discount is impossible; the price must be higher than usual."

"Ah?"

Lin Yaowu was taken aback, "Lu Lin, we somewhat know each other, yet you quoted me such a high price, isn’t that inappropriate?"

"Certainly not a high price for you; Thirty Thousand Gold per half a kilogram, this price won’t change."

"But if others buy it, then the price will naturally be higher."

Lu Lin said with a smile, and Lin Yaowu immediately understood Lu Lin was specifically targeting Qin Xue.

It seemed Qin Xue intentionally exposed Lu Lin’s Glittering Gold possession a few days ago, causing Lu Lin some resentment.

However, Lin Yaowu had a sudden inspiration, forming a new idea in his mind.

If he bought Glittering Gold from Lu Lin at Thirty Thousand Gold per half a kilogram and then sold it to Qin Xue at a slightly higher price, wouldn’t he make a fee just for running the errand?

Lin Yaowu came from a household with some assets in Gu Feng Town; however, his family’s discipline was strict, and compared to Misses like Qin Xue, his usual life wasn’t as well off as even ordinary students.

His family tightly controlled his finances and would not hire servants for tasks he could undertake.

Growing up in such a household, besides developing independence, Lin Yaowu also developed frugality.

"Lu Lin, do you think this works?"

Lin Yaowu conveyed telepathically to Lu Lin, "You’re targeting Qin Xue, so I’ll purchase from you and then sell it at Fifty Thousand Gold per half a kilogram to Qin Xue. This way, you can sell more Glittering Gold, I can earn a runner’s fee, and Qin Xue can calm her emotions somewhat."

"You might not know, but the Qin Family is unmatched in strength in Gu Feng Town. Even the Town Mayor often needs their support; provoking them recklessly is not wise."

"Qi Wudi can shield you for a while, but surely not forever? Right, Qin Xue is the Miss of the Qin Family; once she cools off, she won’t be too harsh. Isn’t that right?"

Upon hearing Lin Yaowu’s telepathic communication, Lu Lin showed a slight smile.

Unexpectedly, this guy was quite shrewd.

Wanting to profit in between while claiming it’s for Lu Lin’s good—not bad, his future achievements surely won’t be insignificant.

"No way, Thirty Thousand Gold per half a kilogram is already my selling price; if you pass it to Qin Xue and pocket the benefit, I’ll end up disadvantaged. How about this, you directly tell Qin Xue I’m quoting 100,000 gold per half a kilogram, and whatever cash she has, I’ll give her that much Glittering Gold."

"Once the transaction completes, I’ll give you 10,000 gold per half a kilogram... well, make it 5,000 gold per half a kilogram."

Lin Yaowu hadn’t expected such a method, truly insightful.

"No way, give me a rebate of 10,000 gold per half a kilogram, or else I won’t approach Qin Xue with this."

"Fine, 10,000 shall it be, you go ahead."

"Oh, and I’ll give you one more piece of information: Qin Xue currently doesn’t have a single piece of Glittering Gold."

"Oh?!"

Lin Yaowu understood, smiled at Lu Lin, and turned to leave.

"Miss Qin, Lu Lin saw me talking to you just now and said he won’t sell. What should we do?"

"I’m unable to do it; please don’t blame me, Miss Qin. This million gold, I’ll return it to you directly."

As he spoke, Lin Yaowu prepared to retrieve a million gold from his storage space to return to Qin Xue.

"Wait."

"Lu Lin said he won’t sell?"

Qin Xue was furious.

This assessment was extremely important for all students at Gu Feng Academy, especially since all other students had Glittering Gold. Her lack made her undoubtedly the worst one.

Such an outcome was unbearable and unacceptable for Qin Xue. Should this news spread back at Gu Feng Town, the Qin Family would certainly become the laughstock of the entire town.

Even though the Qin Family was substantial, they couldn’t dominate Gu Feng Town completely.

"Yes, Lu Lin said he won’t sell. Miss Qin, I really can’t help it, I apologize for my incompetence."

Lin Yaowu dodged responsibility while preparing to act, retrieving the money from his storage space.

"Hold on!"

Qin Xue gritted her teeth, stopping Lin Yaowu’s moves. She had never suffered or been humiliated like this since childhood.

Lu Lin, humph, hopefully when the teacher heads to Gu Feng Town, you won’t be unwanted.

Only then can there be a chance to deal with him.

"Lin Yaowu, find a way to help me get a piece of Glittering Gold, I implore you. If this succeeds, I promise to grant you one favor in the future."

"Of course, it has to be a reasonable favor."

Qin Xue quickly added, realizing the loophole in her words.

"This, this, Lu Lin made it very clear he really won’t sell you Glittering Gold. Miss Qin, you’re putting me in a tough spot here."

Lin Yaowu feigned helplessness while profiting.

"How about this..."

Qin Xue bit her lip and took out something from her storage space.

"What’s this..."
