Douluo: Reincarnation of the Rock King, Wandering in the Mortal World

Chapter 43: Zhongli doesn’t bargain, he wants them all!
Paimon's voice was not loud, but it brought Zhongli back to his senses.

Is there anything special about these stones?
To be honest, there is nothing special about these stones, they are just ordinary jades.

For Zhongli, these jades have no collection value, so he naturally would not buy these "junk".

However, there is one piece among them that has a bit of a story, which is why it attracted Zhongli's attention.

Rocks have memories, and Zhongli happens to be able to understand the memories of rocks. This stone is not as simple as it seems.

It is a humiliation to it to be mixed with some ordinary jade ores.

Zhongli did not answer Paimon's words, but pointed at the stone with a little story and said, "Boss, I want this stone. How much is it?"

When you open a business, if it is a commodity, it will have a price. If Zhongli thinks the price is appropriate, he will not hesitate to buy it.

Of course, under normal circumstances, he has no concept of money, so if he really likes something, he will buy it even at a premium.

If the price is lower than what Zhongli thinks the value is, in Liyue's words, it is a bargain and he will buy it without hesitation.

Buy it and you'll make a profit!

The shop owner was a middle-aged man in his forties, and he had heard of Zhongli's name a long time ago.

Even though he had never seen one, he could still recognize a UFO.

He was truly flattered that Zhongli patronized his shop.

"Your Majesty Zhongli, if Your Majesty likes this stone, just give me a hundred gold soul coins."

The shop owner said respectfully, he looked at the "jade ore" that Zhongli pointed out and directly gave a minimum price.

Most of those who buy jade ore are "gamblers". They will bet that the value of the jade in the jade ore is greater than the value of purchasing the jade ore.

It is also called gambling on stones.

There are gains and losses in gambling on stones. Of course, most customers lose money, otherwise, his shop would probably not be able to continue operating.

These jade ores have been appraised by "Jade Masters" and are considered to be of little value.

This is why they sell it. They can cheat someone...

Pooh!
Even masters make mistakes sometimes, so you’ll make a profit if you buy it!

After these words came out, Paimeng's eyes widened.

She thought the shop owner said so much and then would not charge her, but she didn't expect him to charge her one hundred gold soul coins.

One hundred gold soul coins for one stone. To be honest, the shop owner doesn't make any profit from it. This is considered the cost price.

These stones are not iron ore, but jade ore, and their value is naturally incomparable to iron ore.

Besides, the value of iron products in Douluo Continent is not very high, and blacksmiths basically have no status.

It's considered the lowest class.

"One hundred gold soul coins, so expensive!"

The Paimeng of today is not the Paimeng who just came to Douluo Continent. The purchasing power of the gold soul coins is not the same as the purchasing power of Mora.

One gold soul coin is enough for an ordinary family of three to live happily for several months.

After hearing this, the shop owner spread his hands helplessly and said, "Little Paimeng, you don't know that this is the lowest price I can offer."

"Originally, the price of one of these jade ores is 110 gold soul coins."

Although these jade ores are no longer of any value to the store, it still cost a lot to purchase them.

Selling one piece is equivalent to recovering some of the cost.

After listening to the store owner's explanation, Paimon nodded thoughtfully: "A full ten gold soul coins, it seems like a really good deal."

"Well, there are indeed quite a few discounts."

Regardless of whether it sounds good at first glance or not, the discounts offered by the store owner are considered to be quite large.

In Zhongli's opinion, this stone with a story behind it should be worth between 100,000 and 500,000 gold soul coins. If someone needed it, let alone 500,000 gold soul coins, even if it was 1 million or 5 million, the other party would not even frown.

Without hesitation, Zhongli waved his hand and a hundred gold soul coins appeared on the shop owner's table.

Seeing the gold soul coins, the shop owner smiled happily and quickly counted them. After finding that there were not too many or too few, he said to Zhongli, "Your Majesty, do you want to open the stone here or open it when you go back?"

When it comes to gambling on stones, the stone will be cut sooner or later, which is why the shop owner asked this question.

"I'll take it away."

The stone is not very big, it is round in shape and about thirty centimeters in diameter.

Now that the money and goods have been paid, the stone belongs to Zhongli.

After putting the stone away, Zhongli took Paimeng and left the jade shop.

After walking out of the jade shop, Paimeng said to Zhongli with a curious look on his face: "Zhongli, this stone should not be simple, right?"

She knew Zhongli's vision, especially when it came to looking at stones, he would never make a mistake.

Zhongli doesn't bargain, he wants everything...

But there will be no problem with his vision.

Even if he doesn't bargain, the value of the items he buys will basically not make him a loss.

"Well, this stone is indeed not simple."

"It's different from ordinary stones. It was once a living creature, a living creature, and it turned into stone after death."

"???"

Paimeng's mind was full of question marks. If the person who said this was not Zhongli, she would not believe such nonsense.

"Stone?"

"life?"

Zhongli touched his chin and said, "Yes, in the words of Douluo Continent, it is a very rare gem-type soul beast."

"This kind of soul beast is not only rare, but also exponentially more difficult to hunt. It is indeed their natural camouflage, which is too real."

"Ah~"

Paimon scratched his head. Douluo Continent was really magical. Stones could also give birth to life, which was comparable to Teyvat.

"Wait, Zhongli, even if it was a soul beast in its lifetime, it is just a stone after all. Can it be worth a hundred gold soul coins?"

Paimon's eyes lit up, she discovered the blind spot.

If a stone becomes a spirit, won’t it still be a stone after death?

Take away its soul beast buff, it's worthless!
"From the perspective of life, it is priceless."

"The body it leaves behind after death is also of no value to humans."

"However, due to the Douluo rules, it left behind a soul bone after its death."

Paimon: “!!!”

Good guy, really good guy!
Paimeng had previously thought that Zhongli purchased this... no, this soul beast's corpse because it was once a stone spirit.

I bought it for sentimentality.

After all, Zhongli is the Prince of Rock.

I never expected that Zhongli was after the soul bones!
"Its soul bone has not been discovered by others because its body structure is too closed, completely enveloping the aura of the soul bone."

"If it weren't like this, I wouldn't have picked it up."

“Although it’s useless, it’s a nice collectible.”
