Dota: Becoming a God Starting with Dragon Knight

"Hello, Aunt Isadora!"

"I'm so sorry, you look so young and beautiful. I didn't mean to." Li Ming was so embarrassed that he could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of his feet. He was also filled with fear. If his words had angered Lina's mother, his life would be over.

Before he came, he had no idea that he was going to meet a demigod.

Didn't Lina say that her father was a master-level knight who was about to break through to the legendary level?

How come her mother became a demigod?

How did a demigod fall for a master?

Is her dad handsome?

As Li Ming pondered, his mind wandered off course.

Fortunately, Isadora didn't blame him. "It's alright, it's not your fault, it's all that kid Elon's fault."

"He has no talent and doesn't practice properly. Now he's focused on his water truck. Just listen to that name, it doesn't sound like a good thing."

Elon corrected in a low voice, "It's been changed to a magic-powered vehicle!"

Isadora glared at Elon again, and Elon immediately shut up.

"Even if it's called a magic vehicle, it's not a good thing. As a means of transportation, it consumes too much energy. It's not as cost-effective as a reindeer, which only needs 10 kilograms of grass per 100 kilometers."

Elon couldn't help but speak up again: "But the magic vehicle is fast, and it doesn't need to rest. It's much faster than the reindeer."

Isadora glared at him again, then put her hand to her forehead. "Fine, I'm too old to deal with you young people anymore. Do whatever you want, and give your mother a headache."

"However, you are the only heir in my Morning Star family now. For the next hundred years, you must get married and have children."

"Didn't you say you had something to do? Hurry up and go!"

As soon as Isadora opened her mouth, Li Ming switched her role from a caring older sister to Lina's mother.

Sure enough, no matter whose parents they are, they all speak in a very similar way.

Elon ran downstairs as if granted a pardon, while Li Ming stood by, keeping his eyes down and not daring to utter a word.

"Please excuse my poor child; he's such a handful. But what can we do? He's the only son in our family now."

Li Ming glanced at Lina and saw her standing expressionlessly to the side. He then lowered his head and dared not utter a sound.

"Lina said you have some good stuff there, why don't you bring it over so I can see it?"

"If the quality is good, I can purchase a batch on behalf of the Royal Guard."

Finally, it was time to get down to business. Li Ming quickly took out the prepared samples from his backpack.

"This is the [Holy Staff], its effect is..."

"This is the [Ghost Scepter], its effect is..."

"This is the [Eternal Disc], its effect is..."

"This is the [Ghost Scepter], its effect is..."

"This is [Shadow Blade], its effect is..."

"This is [Hand of Midas], its effect is..."

Lina had already seen these props, so Li Ming took them out without any hesitation.

In addition, he took out some recovery potions and some basic equipment that did not require crafting, all of which he had displayed at his stall outside the inn these past few days.

Isadora picked up the items and examined them carefully, but apart from the [Eternal Disc] and the [Hand of Midas], she put the others down after a few glances.

"Lina, didn't you appraise the gold coins and experience points generated by these gloves?"

"Bring me the report and the physical evidence."

Lina took out a report, energy coins, and experience orbs from her storage bag and handed them to Isadora.

While reviewing the report, Isadora released her sensory scanning energy coins and experience orbs.

"Excellent, excellent, both of these are very good."

"These energy coins can be used as a stable energy source to replace Moon Spring Crystals."

"This experience orb is quite interesting. It can actually affect me, although it's very, very weak. But if there's a lot of it, it might actually help me advance my cultivation level."

"How many of these [Hand of Midas] do you have? I'll take them all."

"Plus the [Eternal Disc], I'll take as many as you have!"

Li Ming's mind went blank for a moment, then he put on a fawning smile: "Aunt Isadora, I don't have many [Hand of Midas] in stock, only ten pairs left."

"[The Eternal Plate] is even rarer, there are only three, no more. I need one for myself, and I can sell the other two."

"If you want more, I can get some more in stock; it should be available in a while."

He didn't dare say that as long as he had the gold coins, he could have as much equipment as he wanted.

If he said that, he was afraid the elves would tie him up and use him as a human shopping machine.

"Alright, then how about two [Discs of Eternity] and ten pairs of [Hands of Midas]?"

"[Hand of Midas] 100 Moon Crystals per pair, [Eternal Disc] 300 Moon Crystals per piece."

After a moment's thought, Li Ming quoted a price that he considered quite reasonable.

I already traded [Hand of Midas] with Lina and the others, so the price hasn't changed. The selling price is more than four times the price I exchanged for it, which should be pretty good.

The [Eternal Disc] is very powerful, especially in dealing with emergencies, where it can play a crucial role. Selling it for 10 times the price shouldn't be too expensive.

Isadora: "Make it cheaper!"

Li Ming was stunned again, but he quickly recovered: "Okay, okay, how about I give you a 10% discount?"

Was it overpriced?

"50% off!"

"No, Aunt Isadora, you're going way too far with your bargaining! How about 15% off at most?"

"50% off!" Isadora's smile vanished, and she answered expressionlessly, an invisible pressure emanating from her.

Li Ming seemed to see the bone dragon from that day again, and his legs went weak and he almost knelt down, but he managed to hold on.

"Aunt Isadora, it's really not going to work. The cost price is what it is. If I offer it at half price, I'll lose money."

"So what if I lose money? I won't try to lower the price on anything else, okay?"

"How about you consider buying [Hand of Midas] and [Eternal Disc] at half price?"

"You really don't want a discount on anything else?"

Isadora picked up the teacup on the table, took a leisurely sip, and said, "Hey~ how could I possibly lie to a little guy like you?"

"50% off..." Li Ming pretended to hesitate, then slapped his thigh and shouted through gritted teeth, "Deal! From now on, I'll sell you [Hand of Midas] at 50% off, 50 Moon Spring Crystals for a pair! 150 Moon Spring Crystals for each of the two [Eternal Discs]."

"A total of 800 Moon Spring Crystals! How about that?"

Isadora nodded in satisfaction: "Okay."

After completing the first transaction, Li Ming asked expectantly, "Aunt Isadora, what other equipment do you want to buy? The [Holy Staff] and [Ghost Scepter] are also quite good, excellent for survival."

"No need, I don't like the rest, so I won't buy them!"

"Not buying it anymore?" Li Ming cried out, his face contorted with misery. "Aunt Isadora, please don't mess with me!"

Isadora replied slowly and deliberately, "Although I won't buy any, I can buy some equipment for the Royal Guard."

"The members of the Royal Guard are all outstanding warriors of our Elven race."

"Of all your equipment, only the [Shadow Blade] is suitable for warriors; the rest are not."

"I bought it for the Royal Guard; I can't just buy them a knife, can I?"
