"Ah, that’s too much! Isn’t this just robbing ?"
Xia Lan was dumbfounded.
"It’s not really robbing, just each relying on their own ability."
Vivian replied calmly as she looked at Su Ming in the distance.
At this mont, after Su Ming finished chatting with Helena, he coughed slightly and said.
"Miss Helena, actually, the reason I ca to see you this ti is that I want to buy the Level 6 Black Energy Crystal in your possession. I wonder if you could part with it."
"Mr. Su Ming, if it were soone else coming to buy it, I definitely wouldn’t sell it. But since you asked, I certainly agree."
Helena replied with a smile.
"Thank you so much. By the way, Miss Helena, how much are you planning to sell it for?"
"Mr. Su Ming, you should know that Level 6 Black Energy Crystals are extrely rare and very expensive."
"Hmm!"
"And my Black Energy Crystal is not ordinary, it’s of the highest quality!"
"Understood!"
Su Ming nodded seriously.
"However, since we’re friends, I won’t charge too much. If you want it, I’ll give it to you for 300 billion Federation Coins."
Helena stated the specific price.
Su Ming took a silent breath upon hearing Helena’s price. So expensive?
However, after thinking carefully, the price seed normal.
After all, a Level 5 Purple Energy Crystal already costs 20 billion Federation Coins, and a Level 6 should be ten tis higher or even more. Plus, the one Helena has isn’t just an ordinary Level 6 Black Energy Crystal; it’s a rather good one, so the price would naturally be higher.
The problem is that Su Ming doesn’t have that much money; he only has about 189.5 billion when counting all his assets.
He couldn’t possibly spend it all at once.
Thinking of this, Su Ming said diplomatically to Helena.
"Miss Helena, could I have so ti to consider?"
Of course, "considering" ans figuring out how to get the money. He couldn’t possibly say directly that he didn’t have enough money.
"No problem, let’s exchange contact information, Mr. Su Ming. Contact once you’ve decided."
Helena replied with a hint of strategic reservation.
In fact, Helena reported such a price on purpose, believing that Su Ming would definitely co back to her.
"Alright!"
Su Ming imdiately exchanged contact details with Helena.
"Mr. Su Ming, I have so matters to attend to. I’ll take my leave now."
"Okay, take care!"
"See you next ti."
Helena gave a slight bow and elegantly turned to leave.
Su Ming watched Helena’s departing figure, standing still, troubled by how to co up with the money.
Even a hero can be stumped by a penny; does he really have to sell so assets?
In reality, that one hundred billion shortfall, if he sold so assets, he could gather it, but Su Ming was a bit reluctant.
Just then, Xia Lan dragged Vivian over and shouted.
"Su Ming."
"Miss Xia Lan, Miss Vivian."
Su Ming turned his head to look, and with so surprise, greeted them.
"Su Ming, what were you talking about with Helena?"
Xia Lan asked directly without any reservations.
Su Ming didn’t feel it was abrupt but rather felt it was straightforward, so he too didn’t shy away and replied directly.
"Nothing much, just looking to buy a Level 6 Black Energy Crystal from her."
"Ah? You want to buy a Level 6 Black Energy Crystal, why not buy it from my seventh sister."
After hearing that, Xia Lan said directly to Su Ming.
Su Ming was taken aback, turning to Miss Vivian, he asked.
"You have it too?"
"Of course, Mr. Su Ming, you might have forgotten, but the Tianji family is in the energy business. It’s our main trade; how could we not have it? Plus, the one Helena has was also sold to her by our family; do you know the price she quoted you?"
Vivian asked curiously.
"300 billion."
Su Ming replied after thinking for a mont.
"That price isn’t unfair. Back then, Jyenis used connections to get it at a low price of 280 billion from our family. Furthermore, market prices have been rising over the years, so the price she quoted is quite reasonable."
Vivian explained to Su Ming.
"Yes, indeed."
Su Ming agreed.
"Su Ming, why not just buy it from us?"
Xia Lan said directly to Su Ming.
"Well, I don’t have enough money."
Su Ming, feeling a bit embarrassed, said that it wasn’t about whom to buy from; the problem was that it was just that expensive, and he simply didn’t have enough money.
Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Vivian laughed and said.
"Mr. Su Ming, if you urgently need a Level 6 Black Energy Crystal, I can temporarily lend you one of the sa quality as the one Helena has. You can return it when you have the money."
Upon hearing Vivian’s words, Su Ming’s heart surged like the sea.
Is the Tianji family that wealthy? Willing to lend out 300 billion just like that?
Su Ming composed himself and said seriously to Vivian.
"Miss Vivian, thank you so much for your offer, but I can’t borrow sothing so valuable; if I can’t repay it, it would be troubleso."
"How could you not repay it? If you really don’t have the money, you could offer sothing in return, say, your hand in marriage?"
Xia Lan looked at Su Ming with anticipation.
Su Ming, feeling awkward under Xia Lan’s gaze, said with an embarrassed expression.
"Miss Xia Lan, you do jest."
"I’m not kidding! I’m serious."
Xia Lan replied directly without a second thought.
Su Ming stiffened on the spot, not knowing what to say.
Vivian chuckled softly and said.
"Mr. Su Ming, don’t mind her; my sixth sister has a humorous side."
"No worries, no worries, I’ll be on my way."
Su Ming quickly prepared to leave, feeling that if he stayed any longer, sothing else might co up.
"Alright, but Mr. Su Ming, should you change your mind, feel free to contact us anyti."
Vivian graciously said.
"Okay!"
Su Ming hurriedly left.
Xia Lan sighed as she watched Su Ming leave.
"Oh, gone again!"
"Sixth sister, he’s not an ordinary person; you can’t hold onto him."
Vivian said softly, watching Su Ming’s fading figure.
a 300 billion Energy Crystal, even for the scion of a big family, few can resist the temptation, especially when it’s urgently needed.
From this, she could tell that Su Ming was a principled person and very smart too.
One must know that owing a favor to a big family isn’t sothing easily done.
