Chapter 314: If you want to apologize, at least show it

Chapter 315 If you want to apologize, at least show..."Oh, not enough." Li Cheng shook his head.

"Of course." Old John rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "The estimated value of this holy sword is 5000 million, while the True God's Tears in your hand are estimated at million gold galleons. I can give you a discount on the difference. How about that?"

"One hundred million..." Catalina, who was listening on the side, frowned.

Although she is an officer of the city defense army, she does not like those petty and mean things in her daily life. The gold Galleons on her body are either her salary or saved in the process of saving the world.

5000 million is her savings that she has accumulated for thousands of years.

One hundred million gold Galleons... that was a number that she couldn't even reach right now.

"It's still not enough." Li Cheng shook his head again: "You should know the value of this thing better than me."

"Hmm..." Old John frowned and thought to himself that this guy was not easy to deal with.

He thought that if he offered a price of 100 million, this fat sheep would be tempted, but he didn't expect that the appetite was so big.

To be fair, the value of these True God's Tears is indeed over 1 million.

After all, a drop of a demigod's tears costs about 1000 million, and the value of a true god's tears must be ten times more.

Old John judged with his businessman's intuition that if an auction could be held, this thing might be able to sell for more than 10 billion gold galleons.

No matter what, we must get it... he thought to himself.

"Sir, let's put it this way. I am willing to offer 3 million yuan." Old John took a deep breath, "But I don't have that much money right now. Can you please give me two days, oh no, one day?"

"3 million..." Catalina opened her mouth slightly and couldn't help but take a breath.

Oh my god, what did she hear?

3 million gold galleons?

An ordinary savior participating in a C-level rescue mission would only earn about 50 gold galleons.

Even an S-level salvation mission can only earn a maximum of 10 or 20 million yuan.

This does not include the expenses of purchasing equipment and consumables during the strategy process.

If it is taken into account, 40 to 50 percent of the money earned will be deducted.

After calculating this, Catalina was really scared.

I wasn’t just shocked that the true God’s tears were worth so much money.

I was still shocked by the wealth of that bastard Old John.

No, we are fighting for our lives out there, and it is difficult for us to pay tens of millions. You, an old man, open a shop in the back and you can just take 3 million?

It seems that the corruption in this City of Law deserves a thorough investigation.

Her gray eyes slowly turned unfriendly.

"Ahem, I also need to sell some of my property." Old John responded somewhat guiltily.

"In that case, just give me the goods to pay off the debt." Li Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Anyway, I was planning to buy some equipment. You have a lot of equipment with law particles here, which is just right."

"This... is fine." Old John thought about it, pretended to be nervous, and nodded.

Hahaha, this fat sheep has taken the bait!

Sure enough, my plan to forge legal equipment is feasible!

Wouldn’t I make a fortune from this wave?

He pretended to be in pain and asked respectfully, "What does the guest want?"

"Well, let me see..." Li Cheng looked around the counter and pointed at a few items: "That [Armor of Courage], that [Indomitable Lance], that [Universal Potion]..."

"Okay, guest."

Old John took out the goods one by one and sighed in his heart, this kid has a really sharp eye.

These goods are truly valuable and high-quality.

Even though the total amount didn't reach 300 million gold Galleons, it still hurt him.

"Well, give me the [Ring of Courage], the [Bone Breaker], and the pocket watch next to it."

"Okay, guest."

Old John took out these things again and a happy smile appeared on his face.

This time, his smile was genuine.

The last few items are all waste. They have been lying in his shop for who knows how long and cannot be sold at all.

I thought this kid had a sharp eye, but it seems that's not necessarily the case.

Maybe it's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

On the other side, Catalina watched the goods being picked out one by one. Her originally shocked expression gradually turned into scrutiny, and then became increasingly unfriendly.

Why are all the props this guy picked for dealing with fear?

Originally, since she couldn't get the holy sword, she thought of settling for the next best thing and purchasing some other equipment.

But now, all the good stuff in Old John's store has been taken away by this guy!

Is this intentional against me?

Could it be that it was someone sent by Cornelia?

Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?

Want me to back down?

"Your Excellency has a really good taste." She narrowed her eyes, snorted coldly, turned around and left the shop without saying a word.

"Ahem, sir, I'm sorry. Miss Catalina is a general of the city defense army. It's inevitable that she's a little arrogant." Old John smiled apologetically.

"No problem. Well, that's about all I have. You can calculate how much it's worth."

"Okay, you are a distinguished guest, so I will give you a 7% discount. The [Armor of Blooming Courage] is 1200 million, and the [Indomitable Lance] is 1800 million... Okay, the total is million."

"Including the holy sword you chose at the beginning, the total is 250 million gold galleons."

"You can exchange the [True God's Tears] for something else, and I will give you another 50 million. What do you think?"

"Eighty million." Li Cheng knocked on the table.

"Eighty million is too much, sixty million."

"Seventy million."

"Sixty-five million."

"make a deal."

"Okay, thank you for your patronage." Old John took out an anonymous card from the bottom of the shop: "You can exchange it for gold galleons in any place where the law of salvation shines."

Li Cheng took it and handed it to Lilith Cat.

"It's the real thing, meow~"

"Of course. Old John's shop is honest and fair. Well, happy business?" Old John stretched out his hand towards Li Cheng.

"Well, happy transaction." Li Cheng shook hands with him symbolically, put the pocket watch into his underwear, packed up all the other props, put them on his back, and walked out of the shop.

And old John always had a respectful smile on his face.

Until Li Cheng walked out of the room——

“Hahahahahahahaha, fat sheep, this is a huge fat sheep, hahahahahaha!!!”

"Who are you talking about as the fat sheep?" Li Cheng suddenly opened the curtain and poked his head out.

"Ahem, my dear, I, ahem." Old John was choked. "I mean, I want to buy a big fat sheep tonight to reward myself."

"Oh, I see. I thought you said I was a fat sheep."

"How could that be? Haha, sir, I actually lost a lot of money this time." Old John was sweating profusely.

"I understand." Nodding, Li Cheng left again.

This time, Old John learned his lesson. He walked to the door and locked it, then laughed wildly in a low voice:

“Hahahaha, big fat sheep, it really is a big fat sheep!!!” “True God’s Tears, is that how I got them?”

"Three hundred million, you still want three hundred million? Those things in your hand are not worth even one hundred million!"

"Haha, once you buy something, you are responsible for your own profits and losses. This is the eternal principle of doing business~"

"Hahahahaha!!!"

As he smiled, he held up the vial containing the True God's Tears and admired it in the light.

I felt so happy that I almost hummed.

I thought it would take 300 million gold Galleons to get this thing.

But unexpectedly, in the end, he only paid 165 million!

And if this thing is operated properly, it can be sold at a high price of over 10 billion!

What is a wave of fat?

This is called a wave of fat!

At least eight times the profit, simply perfect!

Old John could already see the huge amount of gold Galleons falling from the sky, overwhelming him.

"Oh my, who should I invite to my auction? Oh, this is really a happy worry~"

He held the bottle and looked left and right...

On the other side, Li Cheng and Lilith Cat also walked out of the alley of the shop.

Both the man and the cat lowered their heads and curled up their bodies, as if they were restraining something.

Especially those two mouths, which would occasionally turn upside down.

Lilith finally understood why it was so difficult to control the corners of her mouth.

“Puff, puff, puff, Li Cheng, you used a tear of a demigod to exchange for 16 million gold Galleons, ha ha ha ha, sixteen times the profit… You are truly a rising star!”

"Lilith, I have to correct you. It's times. You said half a million less." Li Cheng took a deep breath and tried to control the corners of his mouth.

The [True God's Tears] were just something he nurtured for two seconds using the power of law.

In 20 minutes at most, the light of law above will dissipate completely and turn into the original demigod tears.

That is, material worth only 1000 million.

Hey, when thinking of this times profit, Grandpa Li Cheng couldn't hold back his smile.

Oh no, actually it’s more than times.

He deliberately bought all the equipment related to [Courage] with the intention of selling them to Katarina.

Old John gave these things to Li Cheng at a 7% discount.

He sold it to Catalina at a 8% discount, isn't that too much?

With this calculation, the profit is nearly 30 times more! !

"Puff puff……"

The man and the cat walked with their bodies sandwiched together, trying to hold back their laughter.

"Lilith, you laughed a little too loudly."

"Ahem, I, I understand, haha..."

The people outside who were still watching the show also showed expressions of gloating when they saw the two people come out.

"Haha, looking at their appearance, they must have been badly tricked by Old John, right?"

"Yes, yes, tut, tut, tut, newbie, this is the only way to become a veteran!"

"We don't tell him so that he can grow better! The world of the Savior is full of crises!"

"Oh, when I was a rookie, Old John sold me a pair of iron shorts for 10,000 yuan, saying that it could protect my vital parts. But when I put them on, I found out that it was a chastity belt! Thinking about it, I really miss it..."

"Forehead."

Hearing this, the onlookers felt a chill and consciously distanced themselves from this person.

Li Cheng and the other man also turned into another dark alley.

I didn't take two steps.

A long sword suddenly stretched out from his side and stopped at his throat.

Li Cheng stood there with a normal expression, his eyes beneath his hood revealing a look that said "as expected".

Miss Katarina, with her black hair and silver eyes, also walked out from the shadows, tightly grasping her sword with a stern look on her face.

"Tell me, who sent you? Was it Cornelia?"

"Haha, Miss, are you torturing me or questioning me now?"

"That depends on your answer." Catalina gripped the sword tightly.

“Heh…” Li Cheng smiled. “The city defense army is really so powerful. Without any crime, they can threaten the residents with sharp knives in the street.”

"Hmm..." Hearing this, Katarina gritted her teeth, slowly put down the sword, and narrowed her eyes: "I don't care who sent you, tell the people behind you, I must go to this M981 world, and no one can stop me."

After saying that, she turned around and walked deeper into the alley.

"Miss Catalina, hey..." Li Cheng sighed and twisted his neck: "Isn't it a bit too much for you to talk to your benefactor like this?"

"Benefactor?" Catalina laughed angrily and turned her head away with a bad look.

Damn it, you stole my holy sword.

I also bought all the props in the shop that could fight fear.

Now you still say that you are my benefactor?

"What? You don't believe it?" Li Cheng took out the fake holy sword from behind him, then grasped the hilt and the blade and exerted force suddenly.

Just hear a click.

The holy sword was broken in two.

The pink particles floating above were extinguished in an instant.

"Ms. Katarina, do you think a relic that bears traces of the true God would be so fragile?"

"This, this is impossible..." Catalina stared blankly at the sword that was broken into two pieces, her face full of disbelief.

There is no way a relic used by a true god could be so fragile.

Moreover, the remnants of the laws from above could no longer be felt at all at this moment.

In this situation, there is only one possibility.

This sword is not a holy sword at all, but a fake!

Damn it... Thinking of this, a look of fear appeared on Catalina's face.

She didn't realize this at all just now!

If this man hadn't been there, she would have definitely bought the sword!

Let's not talk about the 5000 million gold galleons that were completely lost.

What if she used this sword to fight against the incarnation of the evil god of fear...

She didn't dare to think about what would happen...

It would be a luxury to be able to leave an intact body.

"Haha, it seems you are not that stupid." Li Cheng mocked lightly: "So, pointing a sword at your savior is your way of entertaining guests?"

"I..." Catalina's face turned red, and the hand holding the sword trembled.

When she thought of what she had just done, her beautiful toes in her knight boots began to twist unconsciously.

Shameful, so shameful!

Katrina, oh Katrina, how could you be so stupid.

Not only did he fail to see through Old John's scheme,

Now, without even doing a thorough investigation, he came out and said such words to his lifesaver...

"Yes, I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry for offending you just now. I was wrong."

She walked up to Li Cheng dejectedly, knelt on one knee, crossed her hands in front of her chest, and performed a legal ceremony.

"Haha, such an apology is useless." Li Cheng shook his head: "If you want to apologize, at least..."
