Master Changsheng

Chapter 60, page 059: The Sale of Ten Thousand Gold Coins!

"Hey! Isn't that our great mage Hanks?!"

Hearing Ankai's teasing and seeing the steaming, dark brown crater, Hanks didn't care about Ankai's joke. He grinned sheepishly and ran up to Ankai...

An ice-spell longsword appeared in his hand, and Ankai pointed it at Hanks: "You know, I don't like men getting close to me."

Hanks slapped his forehead: "Hey! Look at me, I'm just so happy to see you!"

"Happy to see me? I think you're more happy about the upcoming deal."

Ankai curled his lip, not believing Hanks's words at all.

Then he didn't dawdle.

Take out 800 gold coins, and leave 100 gold coins in the storage ring.

"800 low-grade magic stones, how about it? Is this a good deal?"

The storage ring originally contained only 731 gold coins, 721 of which were obtained by exchanging orc nameplates.

The reason we have 900 gold coins now is because we looted them from the puppeteer's dark brown storage ring.

There were exactly 169 gold coins, no more and no less.

Of course, besides gold coins, there were other things in the puppeteer's storage ring, and Ankai was considering their uses...

"Gold coins can be exchanged for magic stones?!"

Hanks was shocked; he never expected that Ankai would exchange gold coins for magic stones.

I thought it was some kind of book about magical equipment or skill analysis...

Seeing Hanks' hesitant expression, Ankai suddenly remembered something.

If he were to exchange these magic stones at places like the Bounty Tower, wouldn't he be able to make a huge profit just by reselling them?

Even if the outside purchase price is two gold coins and one magic stone, Ankai can still gain a lot of wealth from it!

If it works, he'll never have to worry about skill points again!

At this moment, in Ankai's eyes, Hanks was like a god of wealth radiating treasure...

"Ankai, there are some things I still need to remind you of."

"You have talent, and I don't want you to die so young."

"Although we often scheme against each other, I think our cooperation is still quite good."

Hanks looked at Ankai with a serious expression, preparing for what he was about to say.

Hanks' serious demeanor surprised Ankai for a moment...

"I can exchange a magic stone for you."

"However, you cannot redeem it at the Bounty Tower!"

Even within Chaos City, the purchase price of a magic stone is two gold coins.

An Kai frowned, somewhat puzzled. How did Hanks see through his thoughts?

"Don't doubt it, I've had the same thought as you."

"Ultimately, I paid a heavy price; my first lover died around that time!"

"Your first love?" Ankai caught the key words in Hanks's words...

Hanks hesitated for a moment, but after a few seconds, he spoke up: "That's right, she was a staff member at the Bounty Tower responsible for redeeming rewards."

"Just like that rotten woman I just killed?"

Hanks rolled his eyes at Ankai. Could that woman compare to him?

Although they both exude the same worldly, gritty vibe...

"That's not important. What I'm telling you is, if you go to the bounty tower or anywhere else to sell magic stones, you'll die a horrible death!"

Hearing this, An Kai, undeterred, continued to ask:

"What if we go to other countries?"

Hanks couldn't help but burst out laughing...

"Kid, do you think just anyone can afford a Philosopher's Stone?"

"In any country, the documents you need to purchase a magic stone are beyond your wildest imagination!"

"Furthermore, by daring to sell magic stones within the country, you are going against a nation. Magic stones are strictly controlled items in any country!"

"Only in our desert can magic stones be openly priced..."

This was the first time Ankai had heard of what Hanks had told him.

Staying in the desert for so long almost made him forget that this was a no-man's-land, which is why people could freely trade forbidden items like magic stones.

but…

Ankai was a little puzzled. Where did that old man Hanks get the Philosopher's Stone?

Judging from his appearance, he could easily produce a thousand magic stones, and at such a low price...

Hanks' identity and strength became even more mysterious to An Kai.

He didn't voice his doubts, which was part of his tacit understanding with Hanks and the reason they were able to maintain their business relationship.

Never pry into the other person's secrets.

After saying this, Hanks pretended to run back to the city gate, and then returned.

He pulled out a storage ring...

"One cubic meter, free of charge, it's yours."

After receiving the stones, An Kai poured them out, examined them one by one, and put them into his storage ring. Then he put 800 gold coins into the ring.

"Keep the 1-cubic-meter storage ring for yourself. If Widow Wang kicks you out one day, you can sell it to make ends meet."

Hanks chuckled: "Do I need to count them one by one? Do I need to doubt my integrity?"

He said Ankai didn't need to count, but he imitated Ankai, pouring out 800 gold coins on the ground and counting them one by one...

Ankai scoffed at Hanks's double standards...

A moment later, Hanks stood up.

"Ankai, kid, remember to come find me if anything like this happens again, hahaha!"

Before the transaction: Master Mage.

Post-trade: Ankai Kid.

Hanks has really figured out how to play the victim.

However, Ankai wasn't surprised; if Hanks kept calling him "Master Mage," then he should be careful...

Just as Ankai was about to leave, Hanks suddenly called out to him…

"Here's a piece of information for you, for free: the Bounty Tower is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Even if you are a third-tier mage, don't have any inappropriate thoughts."

An Kai paused, then said softly, "You mean the inner city?"

"Huh? You found out too!"

Hanks pulled a nameplate from his pocket and tossed it to Ankai…

[Chaos City Access Badge - Inner City]

[Note: With this, you can teleport to the real Chaos City via the Bounty Tower's magic array!]

"You've reached level two?"

"It has been that way for a long time!"

"A second-tier mage?"

"Hehehe..."

Hanks chuckled lightly, but remained silent about his profession.

Seeing this, Ankai guessed that Hanks' profession was most likely an unpopular one such as a puppeteer or astrologer.

Otherwise, he wouldn't remain silent about his profession.

Holding Hanks' nameplate in his hand, Ankai suddenly had an idea...

"Hanks, do you think if the two of us teamed up, we'd be invincible up to the third tier?"

"I'm getting old, I'm getting old. Ankai, you can do it all by yourself, I'm useless..."

Ignoring Hanks's reluctance, Ankai's expression turned serious: "I have a deal for ten thousand gold coins. Do you dare to take it?"

"Ten thousand?!?" Hanks exclaimed in shock...

"Did you know that the Bounty Tower is holding its annual auction in five days?"

Hanks took a deep breath...

His eyes were bloodshot, and in just a moment, he made up his mind!

"Kid! Keep talking!"
