“Ningwen Stone” is a Class A special ore, an important material for forging Curse-enhancing tools.
Although Ningwen Stone is not high-grade, it is a rare and in-demand material in Da Sili Country, because Da Sili Country, if nothing else, has the most Ghost-type pet beasts that can Curse.
“You’re going to sell it?”
Seeing Mingxi take out the Ningwen Stone, Wang Yun imdiately understood her intention.
This Ningwen Stone was discovered by i An'an in the Blue Star Secret Realm No. 013; she was quite lucky when she was swept into the Secret Realm.
She landed near the cave where the Ningwen Stone was located.
i An'an discovered the cave and also found this Ningwen Stone.
But at that ti, i An'an was dirt poor; how could she possibly have a spatial tool, which was a valuable item costing hundreds of thousands or even millions of star coins?
Fortunately, there were no ferocious wild Transcendent creatures around the cave.
i An'an didn't dare to run around, so she stayed in the cave guarding the Ningwen Stone, picking wild vegetables and fruits nearby when she was hungry or thirsty.
Once, while out looking for a water source, she found the incredibly unlucky Wang Yun, who had almost been gnawed to bones by wild Transcendent creatures upon entering.
i An'an carried the heavily injured Wang Yun back to the mine cave, took care of her, and helped her heal, which saved Wang Yun's life.
To repay i An'an, Wang Yun offered to use her spatial tool to collect all the Ningwen Stone for her.
She promised to give the Ningwen Stone to i An'an imdiately after they returned.
i An'an trusted her, and Wang Yun did not betray her trust.
After both were rescued, Wang Yun not only returned the Ningwen Stone to i An'an but also had her parents buy an E-grade spatial tool as a gift for i An'an.
The spatial tool in Mingxi's hand was, of course, not that gift.
Instead, it was a one-to-one replica made of red jade.
“My Ugly Fish is not Ghost-type, so this Ningwen Stone is useless to . It’s better to sell it for money.”
This Ningwen Stone was, of course, acquired by Mingxi from i An'an. To avoid out-of-character behavior, she bought almost everything that could be displayed publicly, except for so private items.
The middle-aged man behind them had already overheard their conversation and eagerly asked, “Xiao Guniang, how much are you selling this Ningwen Stone for? If the price is right, I’d like to buy it.”
Mingxi turned to look at him, saw that he was sincere and not causing trouble, and quoted an honest price, “300,000 star coins.”
300,000 star coins was the final transaction price between her and i An'an.
Neither a loss nor a profit.
The middle-aged man seed to be calculating, but he only hesitated for two or three seconds. “Deal.”
Money for goods, and ‘i An'an’ imdiately had an additional 300,000 star coins.
With money, she and Wang Yun directly opened the Beastmaster Association APP and entered the joint betting page.
“Anan, what tickets are you going to buy? Ti or character? I’m going to buy 100,000 Gui Sha Guizhu character tickets, another 100,000 Guiye Shao Guizhu character tickets, 50,000 ti tickets for 30 days or more, and finally, 20,000 of my own character tickets. Hehehe, what if I get lucky?”
Wang Yun’s family is not short on money, so she spends it without a second thought.
Four out of ten people in Da Sili Country buy tickets for two Guizhu, as most citizens support one or two Guizhu.
Even more people buy their own character tickets, not out of overconfidence, but to bring good luck, like making a wish.
Mingxi, after all, is not from Da Sili Country, so she naturally doesn't have the sa reverence for the Guizhu as if they were deities.
But to maintain the persona.
“Then I’ll also buy 20,000 Gui Sha Guizhu character tickets, 20,000 Guiye Shao Guizhu character tickets, and 20,000 of my own character tickets.”
Anyway, her goal wasn't to make money, so winning or losing didn't really matter.
“Not buying ti tickets?”
Mingxi smiled: “Yes, I will! Then I’ll buy another 100,000 ti tickets for 50 days or more!”
Ti tickets co in two types: interval ti and specific ti. Wang Yun and Mingxi were buying interval ti tickets.
If the minimum number of days is reached, it counts as a win.
“What? How many days did you say?” Wang Yun’s eyes widened, suspecting she had misheard.
“50 days.”
Wang Yun: “...My dear, did you add an extra zero?”
The highest record in their Da Sili Country was 49 days, but Anan, of all people, was buying a 50-day ti ticket?
Had she suddenly beco rich? Was she getting carried away? Not treating star coins as money anymore?
But 300,000 star coins really shouldn't lead to that.
“This is my beautiful wish, a psychological suggestion.
Think about it, to avoid letting the star coins I spent go to waste, I’ll definitely feel pain, discomfort, and fight desperately. Maybe I’ll even last 50 days in the Ghost Nightmare Land? Wouldn’t I be rich then?”
She wasn't actually trying to fool Wang Yun; she genuinely thought that way.
100,000 star coins isn't a lot, but she never makes a losing deal.
Moreover, saying this was mainly to prepare in ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ advance.
She knew her own situation best. Without boasting, even if she couldn’t break Da Sili Country’s record of so many years by entering the Ghost Nightmare Land this ti, it was unlikely she would only stay there for three to five days.
But i An'an was not Mingxi; her talent was very ordinary.
If she really broke the record or stayed there for a long ti, it was necessary to find a plausible explanation to avoid suspicion.
“Pfft.”
“I can’t hold it in, I’m going to die laughing.”
“i An'an, I’m telling you, where do you get such confidence? From that weak and ugly Ugly Fish of yours?”
The sudden sneer and mocking voice ca from ahead.
Mingxi wasn’t surprised at all.
She had noticed earlier that several people in front of them were acting strangely. Although they weren’t pointing fingers at her, their peering, ear-straining, and neck-stretching postures clearly indicated they knew her.
Although Mingxi was not the real i An'an, and certainly couldn't have i An'an's mories, she had diligently morized all of i An'an's social connections before setting out.
So she had already recognized those people as i An'an's classmates from her first year of high school, with whom she had no contact after class rearrangents in her second year.
But they all knew about i An'an’s situation.
Their relationship wasn't inherently good or bad.
But sotis, young people’s malice needs no reason, especially since i An'an was so weak.
And as luck would have it, they t here.
Such a bad fate was truly unnecessary.
Wang Yun also heard the harsh male voice and imdiately grabbed Mingxi’s hand, glaring at the back of those people’s heads like a fierce little wolf.
“Who is it?”
“My classmates from first year of high school.”
“Anan, you’re so pitiful. You actually ended up with classmates like that in your first year. Although the big idiots in our class were annoying too, at least they usually ate normally and didn’t spew nonsense.”
“Yes, I was so thin in my first year of high school because the classroom slled every day.”
“That’s terrible, my dear.”
The two of them, like a cody duo, utterly humiliated the young n.
The young n were also enraged, glaring and starting their mocking mode.
