If everyone becomes an adventurer, who will put in the effort themselves?

"Give me the scroll, I'll open it! I refuse to believe it!"

Upon hearing this, Lynn tossed the scroll over, and along with it, three brainstones.

Old Odysseus raised his hand and grabbed the flying stone brain.

The stone brain, weighing over ten kilograms, was handled by the two men as lightly as a tennis ball.

After catching the scroll, old Ody immediately opened a stone brain.

Upon seeing that it was yet another piece of fine chalcedony inside, old Oddi slapped himself hard.

"Grass!"

"I fucking sold premium chalcedony as regular brainstone!!"

"What idiot in this world would do such a thing?"

"Damn it, that idiot looks like me..." Old Ody paused, gritted his teeth, and activated all three stone brains that Lynn had thrown at him.

As it turned out, they were all high-quality chalcedony.

Old Oddi was completely stunned.

At this point, passersby who had been watching the situation also noticed the problem.

"All top-quality chalcedony? Did the entire Midoriya family get wiped out?"

"That old man, Oddi, he's really lost a lot of money this time, hasn't he?"

"It's not a huge loss. Judging from the situation, at most I'll get up in the middle of the night and slap myself a couple of times."

The surrounding whispers made old Oddi blush.

That wasn't out of shame, but out of anger!

He wants to kill himself from just one minute ago!

Have you inspected this batch of goods?

What kind of appraisal is this?!

"Don't just stand there, pack everything up. I need to find a buyer and sell the chalcedony as soon as it's been unsealed!"

Upon hearing Lynn's words, old Oddi raised his head, as if about to cry, and looked at Lynn, saying:

"If I say now that I'm not selling, is it still possible to reach a settlement?"

Chapter 55 Snow! Flowers flutter down, the north wind blows softly.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Fiona grabbed old Oddi by the collar and lifted him up, hanging him in mid-air like a chick.

"Hey, old Oddi, what the hell are you doing?"

"You said it would cost 100,000 each, and now you've paid the money, but you don't want to deliver the goods? Do you think I, Fiona, am a dead person?"

"Do you know where you live, old lady? Believe me or not, I'll have your whole family killed!"

Seeing the 'fierce' Fiona in front of him, old Ody's face turned green:

"I'll sell! I'll sell, okay?"

Old Oddi clasped his hands together and pleaded pitifully:

"Fiona, we've been neighbors for ages, and you've watched my grandchildren grow up. You can't treat me like this!"

Fiona spat and glared at old Oddi with disgust, saying:

"Bullshit, what kind of monsters could a swindler like you produce? They're all bastards, the sooner we kill them, the easier it will be."

Lynn then walked over, smiling, and took Fiona's hand:

"Fiona, don't be so angry~"

"The old neighbor was just confused for a moment."

Hearing Lynn say this, Fiona, though displeased, still put Old Ody down.

Once he landed and stood firmly, Old Ody immediately stepped back, touched his neck, and looked at Fiona with a wary expression.

Seeing his nervousness, Lynn didn't mind and casually said:

"You just said you wanted to buy this batch of chalcedony, right?"

What kind of chalcedony should I buy?

Old Oddi paused for a moment, then reacted, looking at Lynn with a strange expression:

"You want to sell it back to me at the price of chalcedony?!"

"What else?" Lynn casually pointed to a stone brain: "Do you want to open it again? This is a high-quality stone marrow mine!"

Old Ody looked at Lynn suspiciously, but he wasn't sure if it was really stone marrow. After thinking for a moment, he quickly picked up the decomposition scroll, but instead of opening the one Lynn pointed to, he opened the one next to it.

Alright, another high-quality chalcedony!

Now, Old Odi was finally certain that these 20 brainstones were most likely all high-quality marrow!

"Holy crap!"

Old Oddi cursed, then turned and looked at Lynn with red eyes:

What price do you want to sell it for?

"I already said it's chalcedony. Apart from the ones that have been opened, you can take the rest for 40 each!"

Old Oddi's eyes darted around upon hearing this, and he gritted his teeth and said:

“That won’t do. I’ll take the ones that have already been opened! But for the ones that haven’t been opened, I’ll only offer 30.”

He suspected that the few that were opened were actually chalcedony, while the remaining brain stones were definitely fake.

Fiona cracked her knuckles, making a cracking sound:

"Old man, you think you can get away with this? A piece of top-quality stone marrow is worth 400,000, not even counting the stone brains worth 50,000, and you want to buy it for 300,000?"

"You can have it for 30, but I'll also take your grandchildren's heads for 30!!"

Upon hearing Fiona's threatening words, old Oddi's face turned green:

"Can't you, you crazy lion, walk on the right path for once! Why are you always threatening others?"

Fiona chuckled and said, "What, you're not convinced?"

Seeing this, Old Otto was so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared: "45 for those that have been offered, 28 for those that haven't. Any more than that, and I won't buy!"

Upon hearing this, Lynn immediately nodded in agreement and handed over the gold card:

"Okay! I'll take three with me, the rest are yours."

Fiona's eyes lit up at that moment.

"Transfer the money quickly!"

Old Oddi trembled as he accepted the gold card, affixed the stigmata to it, and then suddenly stopped.

"Wait a moment!"

"Wait for what?" Fiona glared.

"Could I..." Old Oddi swallowed hard, "...pay in installments?"

"It's one payment per account."

Fiona kicked a stone brain.

The stone's veins remained unchanged, but countless cracks covered its surface.

"Could I kick you, and if you really kill me, then I'll pay you funeral expenses?"

Old Oddi's expression froze. He looked up at the smiling Lynn and the fierce-looking Fiona.

Finally, panting heavily, he turned the money over.

The moment he transferred the money, old Oddi regretted it.

Two portions of chalcedony yielded 900,000, and the remaining 15 portions of brainstone were bought back for 280,000 each.

So, not only did he return the 200 million to Lynn, he also had to pay out 310 million?

Thinking of this, old Oddi raised his head, his eyes reddening, and looked at Lynn, saying:

"Bro, you didn't screw me over, did you?"

"How is that possible!"

Without a second thought, Lynn snatched back the gold card, picked up two pieces of marrow, and then he saw Fiona already holding three pieces of marrow.

Seeing this, Lynn silently put the two prepared agate back, and turned around to see old Ody with bloodshot eyes, suspecting that he had been deceived by the two.

Then, Lynn stared at old Odi's questioning gaze, picked up the scroll, and opened another Stone Brain.

When the brand-new stone marrow appeared before his eyes, old Odi's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly snatched the stone marrow from Lynn's hand, saying:

"Young man, the money's all settled, this stone marrow is now mine!!"

Seeing this, Lynn had nothing more to say and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Fiona, holding one stone brain in each hand and another on her head, supporting it with her animal ears, quickly caught up with Lynn.

When Old Odi saw the two men's actions, he suspected he had been tricked, but when he thought about how he had just casually opened a stone marrow, he felt that the possibility was not high.

Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the disassembly scroll and greedily reached out towards a stone brain.

-----------------

"Do not--!!!"

Lynn had only run less than a hundred meters when he was caught by a large crowd and immediately heard old Oddi's scream.

At this moment, Fiona came over and asked curiously:

"Brother, how many of those stone brains are genuine?"

“There were only 7, and we took 3 with us,” Lynn casually explained, then added, “That old guy lost 13. Not counting his cost of goods, roughly speaking, he lost about 310 million.”

"Damn! We lost so much?"

Fiona, who wasn't good at math, only knew that old Oddi had definitely lost money, but when she heard that he had lost 310 million even without counting the purchase price, she gasped in shock:

"This is enough for me to build an association headquarters!"

After saying that, Fiona subconsciously asked, "So how much did we make?"

Lynn glanced up at the stalactite atop Fiona's head and smiled:

"310 million, plus the three marrow stones in your body, it's around 445 million."

"I've struck gold!!"

Fiona's eyes now looked like they were filled with money.

“We sent it,” Lynn reminded him. “Half of it is yours.”

After all, without Fiona's threat of force, Lynn really wouldn't have been able to get the money out of old Odi.

"What do I need this money for?" Fiona paused for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "Just keep it. We'll talk about it when I need the money."

Lynn paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded knowingly and said:

"It's not impossible."

"Since you've said so, I'll keep it."

"Let's not worry about that for now."

Fiona quickened her pace, urging Lynn on:

"Let's run! That idiot Otto lost so much money, he's definitely going to report us to the military police!"

"Let's go back to Old Kohler's place first and get your skill upgrade sorted out."

Lynn nodded slightly, then immediately quickened his pace on the return journey.
