Chapter 324 - 302 Who Can You Blame if You Can’t Handle the Divine Artifact Yourself? Part 2
Da Fei remarked with emotion, "Thank you, Boss Ma, for your guidance!"
Ma Yinglong laughed heartily, "It’s my honor to discuss the development of the situation with Brother Fei! If you have any questions about the market, just ask me, I’m an expert after all!"
Da Fei laughed heartily, "That’s true, a word from Boss Ma can sway the prices in the market!"
Ma Yinglong chuckled and said, "You’re exaggerating! No way, that’s not how it is..."
...
While Da Fei was having a pleasant chat with Ma Yinglong, Skyshattering Thunder on the other side was anything but tranquil, feeling uneasy and restless.
Originally, Da Fei’s refusal to trade the Divine Artifact before the match had dashed his hopes, but Da Fei’s sudden offer of "10 million, will you sell?" filled him with ecstasy! Every player knows that in a stalled negotiation, the first one to speak loses! Since Da Fei spoke first, that meant he was truly interested, so the ball was in his court!
million was indeed shocking; 10 million is an incredible amount in the entire World Zone, especially for someone like himself who owns a blacksmith shop with NPC investment channels. What would getting his hands on 10 million mean?
However, no matter how much he needed Gold Coins, trading the Divine Artifact for Gold Coins was something he could never accept. Moreover, he hadn’t raked over the other party hard enough. To think that Da Fei made only 10 million with those three loads, he didn’t believe it!
So, Skyshattering Thunder decisively asked for more: "10 million Gold Coins plus a Mana Ring and Mana Necklace!" Everyone knew what happened yesterday outside of Elorin City, and everyone also knew that Da Fei’s subordinate contributed these two items. Since the Divine Artifact was out of reach, the parts had to be taken!
Then, Da Fei was silent for a long while.
Therefore, Skyshattering Thunder grew more anxious. Could it be that his price hike had angered this rascal? No, no, no. With the rascal’s temperament, he would have definitely retorted on the spot if really angered, wouldn’t he just stay silent? Is the opponent calculating? Or is it a silent attack used to pressure me? Bah! How could that trash know how to launch a silent attack, he must be calculating! Keep waiting!
Seconds ticked by, and Skyshattering Thunder felt his patience wearing thin in the wait! Couldn’t he actually be backing out, could he? Losing the 10 million would mean missing out on a huge opportunity! An opportunity that could propel him forward twice over! Skyshattering Thunder was starting to regret his decision, but no matter how much he regretted it he couldn’t back down; it was not only about profit but also about pride!
Suddenly, a message alert sounded! The wait had finally come to an end. Skyshattering Thunder, like a starved predator, eagerly opened the message. It was from Da Fei!
Da Fei: "Mana Ring plus Mana Necklace!"
Damn it! Such shameless and bottomless greed! Although he couldn’t accept just trading for Gold Coins, Skyshattering Thunder couldn’t accept not getting any Gold Coins either! In reality, it was Gold Coins he needed the most! But as long as he responded, it meant he was still interested, and as long as he was interested, there was room for negotiation!
Skyshattering Thunder unhappily said, "You think you can trade parts for a Divine Artifact? Dream on, why don’t you give it to me!" The marketplace is like a battlefield, this was a major deal concerning future development, and Skyshattering Thunder was convinced that Da Fei really wanted it, so he didn’t lose any momentum!
Da Fei immediately replied, "No deal!"
Trying to intimidate me? Am I afraid of you? Your psychological price is 10 million! Skyshattering Thunder instantly pressed on, "Add money! Mana Ring plus Mana Necklace plus 8 million!"
Da Fei was no pushover either: "Forget it!"
Skyshattering Thunder sneered, "Those two parts you got from PKing players with red names—they came easy to you, and you wouldn’t regret losing them, would you? Do you intend to hold onto them like they’re treasures? Or are you planning to have another round of PK to try and blast out the rest of his setup? The question is, does he even have any components left for it to be called a full Divine Artifact? Maybe he only had two parts to begin with?"
Da Fei coldly responded, "You don’t cherish the opportunity for 10 million, and you still want to fleece me? Do you know how much 10 million Gold Coins are worth? 2 million!"
Skyshattering Thunder’s brows furrowed. Was he really looking to buy, or not? It seemed like the negotiation was about to fall through, right? Take a gamble! Da Fei was susceptible to reverse psychology, perhaps it could work again!
Skyshattering Thunder’s forehead was beaded with cold sweat, "2 million, then buy it! I already inquired about the price for my Divine Artifact on the forum. Even if it’s not 2 million, I can get 1 million. If you can’t afford it, then just say it. Stop posturing in front of me!"
Da Fei chuckled, "Want 2 million? I’ll satisfy you. Two loose pieces plus 2 million Gold Coins, take it or leave it!"
Turns out he still wanted to buy, just not urgently. Skyshattering Thunder heaved a huge sigh of relief. 2 million Gold Coins could pay off the 1 million collected from friends and save his reputation, plus he’d earn another million and two loose items - a massive profit! Okay, I’m done playing with this rascal! But I can’t lose face after acting tough!
Skyshattering Thunder scoffed, "Fine, you think I’m afraid of making a loss? I’ll sell!"
Victory! True strength lies in being desireless! Da Fei, filled with the joy of victory, laughed heartily, "Fine, you think I won’t take a deal at a loss? I’ll buy!"
Skyshattering Thunder shouted, "Sell the gun!"
Da Fei proudly said, "Buy the gun!"
"I’m really selling it!"
"Brother’s really buying it!"
"Dare to trade at the Elorin Teleportation Array!"
"Damn!" A dead duck still stubborn ha ha ha! Da Fei couldn’t be bothered to tease him any longer, happily teleported to Elorin, and then saw a dwarf puffing his beard and glaring next to the Teleportation Array.
Skyshattering Thunder arrogantly said, "I really sold it, okay? This is what you wanted to buy!"
Da Fei, impatiently, "Are you done yet? Hurry up, I’m busy!"
—System Prompt: You sent a trade request to Skyshattering Thunder.
A trade window popped up, both parties put their items and Gold Coins into the trade bar, confirmed the transaction, and it was completed!
Ha ha ha ha, Brother’s so cool! Da Fei couldn’t wait to open his inventory, found that gun shimmering with Thunder Light, and equipped it!
—Boom!!! Boom!! Boom! -17! -16! -18! Bursts of electric fire exploded, Da Fei was electrified and paralyzed, unable to move as his health plummeted rapidly!
What’s going on? Da Fei was shocked, as a red light burst in front of his eyes!
—System Prompt: Warning! Divine Artifact Titan’s Grip should not be touched. Please immediately remove the equipment, or it may threaten your life!
Damn it! Looking at his dwindling health bar, Da Fei hurriedly unequipped it, and facing the arrogantly smiling Skyshattering Thunder, demanded, "What’s going on?"
Skyshattering Thunder coldly laughed, "I told you, I really sold it! This is what you wanted to buy!"
Da Fei was furious, "You tricked me!"
Skyshattering Thunder laughed heartily, "Can’t blame anyone if you can’t handle a Divine Artifact! Goodbye!" Laughing loudly, he teleported away and disappeared!
