Chapter 217 – The pain was suffocating


Seeing Shen Mengyao so focused, Ye Ling didn’t disturb her and sat down on a chair nearby.

As for Manager Zhao, he was almost faint with anger.

So many materials, and he had to pay an additional ten percent for all of them, which pained him for a long time.

Especially when Ye Ling took out the Emerald Pearl, Manager Zhao almost lost his breath.

But fortunately, Manager Zhao managed to hold it in, though his unsteady posture suggested it wasn’t that simple.

His heart… it hurt so much!

The pain was suffocating, and he couldn’t fathom how many credit points he would lose in this transaction.

Even though he was a manager, his monthly salary might not even cover this expense.

How could he not feel heartache?

After confirming that the Emerald Pearl was genuine, Shen Mengyao beamed with joy.

“Hehe! It’s real! The Emerald Pearl, finally got you!”

With these items, she could greatly enhance the toxicity of her Poison Mist Vine.

She couldn’t put it down, playing with it in her hand, as if Shen Mengyao had already claimed the Emerald Pearl as her own.

Looking up at Ye Ling, Shen Mengyao said with delight.

“Ye Ling, I didn’t expect you to have the Emerald Pearl, you’re really lucky!”

She couldn’t think of any other adjectives; Ye Ling was truly very lucky.

Hearing this, Ye Ling shrugged helplessly and smiled.

“Maybe I’m just lucky. I didn’t expect a Second Rank demon to have this thing.”

Obtaining the Emerald Pearl was a complete surprise back then.

Then, Shen Mengyao instructed Manager Zhao, who was standing by.

“Old Zhao, quickly arrange for someone to calculate how much these materials are worth.”

“Yes, yes, Young Lady, I’ll go right away!”

Responding promptly, Manager Zhao hurried out.

In no time, Manager Zhao returned with two attendants.

“Young Lady, I’ve brought the people.”

Hearing this, Shen Mengyao nodded and pointed to the pile of materials on the ground.

“Now, sort all these materials for me and calculate the total price.

Make sure there are no mistakes, or it’ll be very troublesome later.”

When instructing her subordinates from the Sky Universe Pavilion, Shen Mengyao was not at all polite.

With the Young Pavilion Master having given orders, the two attendants immediately began sorting and evaluating the materials.

After some time, the materials placed in the hall were finally almost sorted.

“Young Lady, we’ve both checked once, and after verification, the total comes to 150,000 Federation Credit Points.”

Upon hearing this news, Manager Zhao swallowed hard.

Goodness!

And this doesn’t even include the Emerald Pearl, yet it’s already 150,000 Federation Credit Points. Just the ten percent extra means Manager Zhao has to pay 15,000 Federation Credit Points.

Thinking about this, Manager Zhao’s brows furrowed deeply.

But what could he do?

After all, it was a problem he caused, and he had to accept it whether he liked it or not.

Moreover, Ye Ling and Shen Mengyao were chatting happily, and Shen Mengyao usually didn’t smile this much.

Today was already quite rare.

Since everything was sorted, it was time to discuss the Emerald Pearl in his hand.

Shen Mengyao walked up to Ye Ling, raised three fingers, and said.

“Ye Ling, you’ve heard about the materials, totaling 150,000 Federation Credit Points, and for this Emerald Pearl, I can offer 300,000 Federation Credit Points. Can you accept it?”

Sky Universe Pavilion truly lived up to its name, offering such a generous price that even Ye Ling found it hard to believe.

Manager Zhao, standing by, widened his eyes in disbelief, looking at his Young Lady.

Not only Manager Zhao, but even Ye Ling hadn’t expected Shen Mengyao to offer such favorable terms.

So favorable that it felt like a dream.

Even in other places, the Emerald Pearl would fetch at most a little over 200,000 credit points.

But Shen Mengyao directly offered 300,000, which was quite astonishing.

Considering he had to pay an extra ten percent, didn’t that mean he had to pay an additional 30,000 Federation Credit Points?!

In total, 45,000 Federation Credit Points. Thinking of this number, Manager Zhao looked very distressed.

What could he do? Nothing!

Words once spoken are like water spilled; Manager Zhao could only swallow his pride.

He understood one thing: in the future, he must be cautious with his words and actions when dealing with customers.

Otherwise, if a customer leaves in anger, it could be troublesome.

This time, he considered it a lesson learned, a way to avoid disaster by spending money.

“Ah!”

With a silent sigh, Manager Zhao finally let go of his concerns.
