Bei Yuanqing was very depressed.
Although he was always together with Zhu Ningyu, towards Hua Xiangyu this super-genius, it was impossible for him not to covet her.
But he was really depressed today. Now that Hong Dali gave away the helmet to her, their relationship would definitely improve. Although it was impossible that Hua Xiangyu would fall in love with Hong Dali just because of a helmet, just imagining her calling Hong Dali "Big Bro Dali" sweetly was enough to cause him to be filled with depression.
But so what if he was depressed now? The helmet had already been given out, it was not like he could snatch it away, right?
Of course, it was too late to say anything now—Hong Dali had already placed his hand on the last unidentified item.
It was a book that gave off white light on the outside. This represented that this item couldn't be appraised. It was possible that it was a martial arts secret. Of course, as for what level of manual it was, that was hard to say.
Everyone's heart lifted. What kind of content would this book have? This was a one million dollar book, it definitely wouldn't be some rubbish. If it was really a high-class manual, even if it only enabled them to have 50 times strength amplitude, it would also be worth a lot!
"Dali, quick, see what kind of book this is!" Tang Muxin said, "I guess that it's definitely a secret manual! After all, since it was brought into the battlefield, it's definitely not something lousy!"
The rest all held their breath, waiting to see what it would be.
"Oh, let me take a look then, " Hong Dali replied and softly pressed the button.
A bright light flashed past and the white light encasing the book finally dissipated, revealing the true self.
It was a very ancient-looking book, but it was somewhat broken. The name of the book couldn't be made out anymore, they could only read a "painting" word at the bottom of the first page. But just from the age of this book and the material, they knew this book must definitely be very valuable!
"Let me take a look first." Hong Dali lifted the book and carefully flipped a corner of a page. After he saw the contents, his eyes suddenly lit up and he closed the book again. Then, he laughed loudly and shouted, "Hahahaha! Top-grade! Top-grade! The book of my dreams, this is the one! I shall pass this down as a family heirloom! Hahahaha!"
Once he said that everyone was astonished!
Family heirloom! Top-grade! Book of his dreams!
What kind of person was this Hong Dali? He was a superprodigal who could give away a helmet that was worth hundreds of millions, yet he actually said that he wanted to pass this book down as a family treasure! Then the worth of this book...
"Dali, Dali." Bei Yuanqing was the most curious one. He stretched his head close, then smiled and said, "Let me take a look and help you appraise it? If this book is really valuable, I shall buy it, what do you think?"
A piece of equipment was still considered easy to replace, except for those which were part of a set. But a martial arts secret manual was different. Why was his Bei Family able to be on par with the Hong Family? Wasn't it because of their "Sky Shocking Divine Skill" which enables the practitioner to have an explosion power of 100 times?
Even if this secret manual was slightly worse off than his family's "Sky Shocking Divine Skill", it would still fetch a sky-high price in the black market!
How would this prodigal know what kind of price it was worth? If he could buy it from Hong Dali for just tens of millions, then sell it for hundreds of millions, he would even laugh in his sleep!
"Ah, you want to see? No, no." Unexpectedly, the previously generous Hong Dali actually rejected this time."How can I let you see this 'Monsters Battle Painting' so easily? This is a treasure that I am going to use as a family heirloom! No, no. I definitely can't let you see this!"
"Monsters Battle Painting"!
Upon hearing this name, a picture of two monsters battling instantly appeared in the minds of those looking. Especially Bei Yuanqing, Zhu Ningyu, and Hua Xiangyu, these three members of the royal family, they instantly thought of the secret manuals of the powerful Cultivators from the parallel universe!
Those cultivators all had super powerful physical bodies, could summon wind and rain, and their magic equipment could even fight against the starships!
If this was really a secret manual that belonged to the Cultivators, then the value of this book would be extremely terrifying!
"Dali, Dali, let's discuss this." Bei Yuanqing's eyes shone with golden light as he very familiarly hugged Hong Dali's shoulders and said, "I shall buy it, just state a price! You don't have any use for this secret manual, anyway. Think about it, your attributes are so low, you won't be able to use it also, isn't it? But if you sell it to me, you can obtain money! Isn't that the logic?""I am not selling. Why would I sell this?" Hong Dali shook his head."These movements in this 'Monsters Battle Painting' are incredible, I have never seen or heard anything like this before. It's definitely very useful. I am not selling this. What if you use this to beat me next time? You are already Second-Order Star Sector-level now, but I am just a normal person. What if you practice this and become Third Order or something, then won't I be beaten to the death by you?"
That's right. Don't sell it to him! Definitely don't!
Hearing Hong Dali say this, Hua Xiangyu was even more sure that this was a secret manual misplaced here from the Cultivator's universe. She vigorously nodded and said, "That's right, Big Bro Dali, you can't sell it to him. If this secret manual is really very valuable, Great-grandmother will definitely be very happy!"
Crap, the Old Madam that this lass mentioned is someone that will kill without even batting an eye. She will rage at any instant! No, I must hurriedly obtain this book before that Old Madam knows of this. If not, I won't have a chance to see the secret manual again.
"Dali, don't rush yet. Listen to my offer first, okay?" Bei Yuanqing winked frantically towards Hong Dali, showing that the price he'd offer definitely wouldn't be too low.
"Oh, that's true." Hong Dali frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Tell me first how much you plan to offer."
"30 million!" Bei Yuanqing anxiously asked, "How is it? You bought this book for a million, but directly sell it for 30 million! A profit of 30 times! Ain't I sincere enough?"
Selling a book he bought for one million for 30 million, this was truly quite a good price.
But Hua Xiangyu anxiously said, "Big Bro Dali, don't listen to his rubbish. If this is a Cultivator's secret manual, even a low-class manual can only sell for more than 100 million!"
"That's right." Tang Muxin anxiously said too, "Dali, don't sell it to him! Let's leave now!"
"Don't go!" Bei Yuanqing tightly hugged Hong Dali's shoulder. He was a Second-Order Star Sector-level, how much strength did he have? Hong Dali couldn't move at all, he could only stay there and hear Bei Yuanqing say, "50 million! How about 50 million? Think about it, this book is broken, it's hard to say if some of the contexts are lost or not. 50 million is definitely good enough!"
50 million to buy a secret manual, Bei Yuanqing was indeed trying all he could now.
However, for things such as secret manuals, that was definitely a case of rather buying the wrong one than missing out on the right one. If he gambled correctly, the power of his whole family would be boosted. After all, the secret manuals from the two universes were very different. If his family could gather the strengths of both types of manuals and improve their family's secret manual, that would definitely be a lot of difference.
"50 million?" Hong Dali touched his chin, then looked around at the other onlookers. He considered for a while and then said, "Speaking of which, 50 million is indeed acceptable. Plus, I can't use it anyway, and you are indeed quite sincere..."
"You are willing to sell!?" Bei Yuanqing was elated. 50 million to buy a Cultivator's secret manual is definitely a huge gain! Hong Dali is indeed a prodigal, hahaha. His intelligence quotient is really low! Bei Yuanqing delightedly took out a bank card and directly transferred 50 million to Hong Dali's bank account, then stretched his hand and asked, "I have already given you the money, you can give me the secret manual already, right?"
"So impatient..." Hong Dali stuffed the secret manual into his hand and said, "What a pity, I haven't seen enough of this 'Monsters Battle Painting' yet. Sigh, you really have it cheap..."
Saying so, he shook his head and pulled Tang Muxin along and left."Let's go now, let's go walk around at some other places..."
"Huh? Dali, you really sold the secret manual?" Tang Muxin's face was full of unwillingness."From his expression, this secret manual is definitely very valuable. It's not like you lack money, why did you sell it to him..."
Hua Xiangyu also couldn't understand no matter how she thought about it. However, that book belonged to Hong Dali. Since he was a prodigal and even gave her a helmet worth hundreds of millions for free, selling away a secret manual at a cheap price didn't seem like much too...Huh? Wasn't the secret manual already sold to him? Why did he say that he was lied to? Could it be that this secret manual wasn't of a high enough class?
Everyone instantly stopped and turned around, then saw Bei Yuanqing rushing over angrily and shouted, "Hong Dali, this isn't a martial arts secret manual, you big liar!"
Huh? Not a martial arts secret manual? Then what is it?
"That's right." However, Hong Dali put on an innocent face and then asked Tang Muxin, "Xinxin, did I say that this is a martial arts secret manual?"
"Let me think." Tang Muxin tapped her lips with her finger and thought for a while, then decisively shook her head and said, "You said that this is a 'Monsters Battle Painting', but you really didn't say that this is a martial arts secret manual..."
"That's right." Hong Dali looked towards Hua Xiangyu and asked, "Sister Xiangyu, did I say that I definitely wanted to sell it to him?"
"No, you didn't." Hua Xiangyu finally understood too and laughed, then said, "Big Bro Dali didn't want to sell it at first, you are the one who insisted on buying it. You didn't manage to buy it for 30 million and increased the price to 50 million yourself, you also actively transferred the money over to him first!"
