Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Chapter 250: A Small Setback

Lin Lan searched in the space bracelet for a long time. Li Junnan beside him gradually lost his patience and showed obvious impatience on his face.

If this kid couldn't produce the materials, he wanted to tell Lin Lan directly to get off the Oriental Pearl Tower, take Metro Line 2 to Nanjing East Road Station, transfer to Line 10 at the station and get off at Tiantong Road Station. There were many blacksmiths on the stalls on Qipu Road who could help him make armor and magic tools, so he shouldn't waste his time here.

"Okay, I found it." Lin Lan finally stopped searching and took out a piece of blue-black snake scale from the bracelet.

At the same time, a commander-level strange bone was also taken out. Li Junnan initially thought that this strange bone was the material that Lin Lan wanted to forge.

There are actually only two snake scales, but when you think about the huge size of the totem black snake, you can know that the area of these two snake scales is almost as big as a human piece of clothing.

The dark blue snake scales were placed on the table, looking a bit like a piece of old leather just taken out of a coal stove. It was nothing like most of the rare treasures that shone with a fascinating light as soon as they were taken out.

It can even be said that this snake scale looks a bit rustic and ugly. If Lin Lan were to take this thing and flaunt it on the street, those who don't know how to see would definitely think that Lin Lan is a guy with no taste.

To put it bluntly, this thing is rustic and rough.

Li Junnan probably thought the snake scales were some kind of worn-out leather. He was stunned for a long time before he found his voice and said, "Finally I found it. I never thought that you, at such a young age, could possess so many precious materials. I am confident that I can handle the alien bones. Why don't you let me have a try first?"

Lin Lan looked at Li Junnan calmly, shook his head without hesitation, and said sincerely: "I'm really sorry, this scale means a lot to me, I still hope that Teacher Huo can handle it personally. Please help me go in and report it." Lin Lan did not know Li Junnan's forging ability. He did not dare to hand over this precious snake scale easily, for fear that Li Junnan would really forge it into an ordinary piece of leather.

Besides, Li Junnan was blind and couldn't tell that this was a top-level exotic scale. When this big business came, he didn't even pour himself a glass of water. The scenery was nice, but Lin Lan's waist hurt from standing there.

"Are you going to forge this piece of snake scale? Not this strange bone that commands the creature?" Li Junnan asked doubtfully.

Lin Lan nodded slightly and gave an affirmative answer.

Hearing Lin Lan's answer, Li Junnan's expression instantly turned ugly, and he cursed in his heart: "This kid is clearly playing tricks on me! This thing is nothing to look at!"

"This black thing, please..." Li Junnan snorted coldly. Just as he was about to send Lin Lan away without any courtesy and let him take the subway to find another forger, he suddenly noticed that this snake scale seemed a little strange. In order to let this "silly boy" in front of him understand clearly, he asked, "Do you know snake patterns?"

"I know." Lin Lan answered concisely.

"Snake pattern? Humph, your material is rubbish." Li Junnan said disdainfully.

Lin Lan didn't say anything but just smiled. Lin Lan had already figured out how to make extra money...

Seeing that Lin Lan didn't say anything, Li Junnan thought that Lin Lan acknowledged Lan, so he continued with a contemptuous smile on his face: "The more noble the snake, the more delicate its snake pattern. Look at your snake scale, there is not even a trace of snake pattern on it, it is pitch black and blue, could it be the material stripped from a slave-level creature? However, you are also a bit lucky to be able to get this whole piece of skin intact, which is not bad for a slave-level material. You may be able to make some money by selling this thing at those small stalls, but in front of a master like my teacher Huo Tuo, it will appear too cheap and too inferior. To put it bluntly, you are as frustrated as this thing." Li Junnan's tone was full of sarcasm and disdain. Hearing this, Lin Lan carefully examined the snake scale in his hand. It was indeed as Li Junnan said, the surface was blue-black, and there was indeed no obvious snake pattern to the naked eye.

However, words like "You're as useless as this thing" really made Lin Lan unhappy.

It's time to slap those blind people in the face.

You have to know that this snake scale is taken from the totem black snake! The snake pattern is a unique pattern that runs through the totem black snake's body. How can it be fully displayed on these two small snake scales? Isn't the unique back green color of this whole snake scale a symbol of its unique pattern!

This Li Junnan is just a short-sighted and narrow-minded person. Wait, let him have a good taste of being slapped in the face by reality and see how precious this snake scale is.

And you can make some extra money...

Don’t hit or scold, resources are king.

"How about we make a bet? If this material is not top-notch, you can pick any of the treasures I just took out. But if this thing is indeed a top-level exotic scale, then I will have to give you the nickname Xiao Cuo Cuo, and you have to pay for half of the forging cost for me." Lin Lan looked directly at Li Junnan, his expression calm, his tone filled with unquestionable confidence.

Lin Lan saw clearly the priceless materials that Lin Lan had just brought out and the jealousy in Li Junnan's eyes. He was sure that Li Junnan would not refuse this bet.

"Okay, since you want to gamble, I'll accompany you to the end. Money that's delivered to my doorstep for free should be given away for free." Li Junnan responded confidently.

In Li Junnan's experience, this snake scale is a piece of junk. Could it be that this young wizard who looks insignificant and doesn't emit much magical aura knows more about materials than himself, the true disciple of Master Huo Tuo?

This bet is a sure win for me. As for the title of "Little Frustration", it is more appropriate to give it to this ignorant guy in front of me.

"I have to remind you that these snake scales are not stripped off from a whole snake." Lin Lan said with a slight smile.

In Lin Lan's opinion, Li Junnan took the bait on his own initiative. If he could earn half of the forging fee for free, that would be perfect...

Li Junnan smiled disdainfully when he heard this. Regardless of whether the snake scales were taken from a whole snake or half a snake, the fact that there were no snake patterns on them meant that the material was definitely worthless.

Well, it can't be said to be completely garbage. For a young wizard like Lin Lan, such an exotic scale can be sold for a million or so, which is also a considerable fortune.

But for him and Master Huo Tuo, this kind of stuff was not worth their attention. If Lin Lan hadn't proposed a bet, he would have kicked Lin Lan out without mercy.
