novelSelling the Giant Egg, Sold Within Mere Seconds
| ← Ch.061 | Ch.063 → |
Sell it?
Keep it?
Ling Jiu did not think much about it and decided to sell the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent egg. It would take decades for this thing to grow to its peak.
A decade?
Too slow!
Ling Jiu just could not wait that long!
That night, Ling Jiu rushed overnight back to the base city and looked for Luo Jia.
"Ling Jiu, weren't you on the mission? Why are you in the base city?" Luo Jia was surprised at Ling Jiu's sudden appearance.
"I found something good, so I rushed back overnight!"
Ling Jiu cut to the chase, and immediately took out the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent Egg, and Luo Jia was dumbfounded, as she asked in confusion."Ling Jiu, what is this?"
"An Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent egg!"
"Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent... egg?"
Luo Jia's body trembled slightly and could not help but to take a deep gasp."Isn't the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent a Class 7 Direbeast Lord? How did you manage to get its egg?"
Ling Jiu retold the story, and a glint flashed in Luo Jia's eyes.
"It seems like the Vulcans must have stolen the egg, but due to their fear of the Titan Tempest Ape they handed the egg back, and in the end, it became yours for nothing."
"I think so too!"
Ling Jiu smiled slightly. The Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent lives in Heilong Lake and was a few hundred kilometers away from Mopan Bay, so the egg must have been stolen.
"Of course, all of that is besides the point!"
Luo Jia's gaze fell on the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent egg again, and she said, "The point is this egg! Are you going to sell it to the company?"
"If the price is right, I will definitely sell to the company!" Ling Jiu said.
Luo Jia took out a microcomputer to give it a check and said, "According to the market price, this thing is worth 30 billion. If you were to auction it, you should be able to sell it for two or three billion more. If you sell it to the company, I can only give you 30 billion."
"No contribution points?"
Ling Jiu frowned slightly.
"Although the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent egg is invaluable, it is still not a treasure of heaven and earth, and could not be counted as a special contribution!" Luo Jia explained.
She personally hoped that the company would buy this egg, but the company had company rules, and any items that are not considered special contributions cannot be given any contribution points. As a manager, she could not violate company rules.
"But..."
Luo Jia then switched the conversation."Although you cannot sell it to the company, the company has a special trading channel, and I can help you to put the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent egg on that trade channel. You can trade with other Arcanists in the company and I believe someone will be able to provide you a satisfactory price!"
"There's something like that? Why haven't I heard of this before?" Ling Jiu asked in confusion.
"From the perspective of a company manager, I naturally would like that you would trade with the company instead of privately. I hope you can understand this!" Liu Jia explained with a smile.
"All right!"
Afterward, Luo Jia opened the trading channel, and placed the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent on auction, and attached the price given by Ling Jiu, 30 billion and 300 contribution points.
"To be honest with you, the price is a bit high, but Pangu had never lacked rich folks, and I believe there will be a reply soon enough!"
Luo Jia smiled as she comforted Ling Jiu. Unexpectedly, before she could even finish her sentence, the microcomputer beeped. Luo Jia looked at the microcomputer and laughed."Look, it was snapped up as soon as I put it up for auction!"
"That fast?"
Ling Jiu was a little surprised.
"Yeah."
Luo Jia turned the computer around, and Ling Jiu took a closer look. The Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent was indeed being instantly snapped up, and the buyer was named Ai Tianfan.
"Ai Tianfan? His family name is Ai?"
Ling Jiu raised his eyebrows."Isn't that the Ai family of Chang'an Base City?"
Luo Jia smiled and nodded."Your guess is right. Ai Tianfan is from the Ai family in Chang'an Base City, and he's also the general manager of Pangu's Chang'an Base City branch, and his rank is higher than mine!"
"So that's him!"
Ling Jiu nodded slightly as he clicked on Ai Tianfan's profile picture at random, and some information about Ai Tianfan suddenly popped up on the screen.
"Ai Tianfan: Male, 47 years old..."
"Ai Yuhe?" Ling Jiu was stunned."He's Ai Yuhe's father?"
"Do you know Ai Yuhe?"
Luo Jia was a little surprised, and he nodded."This young lady is just 18 years old today, and she is also a rare Dual Arcana genius!"
"One of her Arcana is a Dimension-type Arcana, and the other type is currently unknown!"
"I've heard that this young lady of the Ai family is the most talented among the younger generation of the Ai family, and had gotten the full attention of the Ai family in raising her, she should be a Level 4 Arcanist!"
"I've met her once!"
A glint appeared in Ling Jiu's eyes as he calmly asked, "With her talents, it should be easy for her to get into the super training camp, right?"
"Naturally!"
Luo Jia nodded, and suddenly looked deeply at Ling Jiu as she teased."Ling Jiu, I don't suppose you are harboring any ideas about this Ai Yuhe?"
Ling Jiu was stunned, and he immediately burst into laughter."Miss Luo, what are you talking about? I've only met her once, so I can't really say any ideas have actually formed!"
"Is that so?"
Luo Jia chuckled."Even if you have any, that's fine. A fair lady is always the subject of pursuit by gentlemen. A girl with a good family background and talent like her is indeed a perfect match for you!"
"Have some confidence. Boldly chase after her if you like her. You are definitely worthy of her!"
"Let's talk about that later!"
Ling Jiu changed the subject and said, "Miss Luo, there's one more thing that I would like to seek your help on!"
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Luo Jia raised her eyebrow.
"I want to rent the company's dimensional pockets!"
Ling Jiu smiled and said."I suppose this operation will need us to kill plenty of Direbeasts, and my dimensional pocket may not be enough, so..."
"That's not a problem, how many do you want?"
"Top-level dimensional pockets, 20 of them!"
"Okay!"
"By the way, let me remind you, Ai Tianfan had just sent a message over. He will send someone to Lantian Base City to trade with you. I hope you will be prepared for that!"
"Understood!"
...
Holding the rented dimensional pockets, Ling Jiu did not even go back home as he sped all the way back to Longquan Town. He was on a mission now, so it was not convenient for him to go home.
More than an hour later, Ling Jiu rushed to Longquan Town, and then with his team, slaughtered the Direbeasts around Longquan Town.
Two days later, all of the Direbeasts within a hundred miles of Longquan Town were slain.
In the evening, everyone sat on the roof of an abandoned building, having a barbecue and drink session as they enjoyed a rare time of relaxation.
"Captain Ling, come, have a grilled chicken wing!"
"Captain Ling, a toast to you!"
"Captain Ling, don't forget about your brothers here once you have made it big in the future. There's this saying... Forget... Forget...
"Forget not your friends even when you're rich!
"Right, right, forget not your friends even when you're rich!"
"Just eat!"
The night then went by without another word.
Early next morning. , the government's maglev airship arrived at Longquan Town on time.
"Commander Xu, where are the other teams?"
Ling Jiu looked at the empty airship and could not help but ask. Aside from them, there were barely any people in the airship, only Commander Xu and several government Arcanists.
"Your team is the fastest, the other teams haven't even contacted us yet!"
Commander Xu explained with a smile."Take a break, once everyone has gathered back, we will head to Meizi Town together to clean up that Class 5 Direbeast pack!"
"No need to wait!" Ling Jiu waved his hand."Let's go directly to Meizi Town!"
"Captain Ling, this is ill-advised!"
Commander Xu frowned slightly."The Class 5 Direbeast pack in Meizi Town is not only numerous, but they are also very powerful!"
"Based on our investigation there, there are three Class 5 Direbeasts in Meizi Town, 41 Class 4 Direbeasts, and the rest are all Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 Direbeasts, with just you guys..."
