Free Web NovelChapter 1287: Chapter 102: D·Assassin
Su Xiao entered the shop, a place that sells equipment. Inside the shop’s counter, Su Xiao saw the low-level equipment he had previously sold to the Black Merchant. Was this a coincidence? Of course not.
Qian Da Pang invited Su Xiao to the reception room inside the shop. The two sat facing each other on sofas, separated by a mahogany coffee table. Who designed this unconventional setup was unknown.
"You all may leave."
Qian Da Pang waved his hand, and the Black Merchants temporarily acting as doormen left.
"Let’s be honest, Brother Bai Ye, I was greedy before. Those ten Soul Crystals you put out indeed dazzled me."
Qian Da Pang poured Su Xiao a cup of hot tea, making a gesture of invitation.
"That’s your personal issue. I paid you with real money."
Su Xiao picked up the hot tea and drank it in one gulp, exhaling white mist from his mouth, seemingly unbothered by the scorching temperature.
"That’s indeed the case. Here’s 900,000 Paradise coins and Soul Crystals."
Qian Da Pang took out a Paradise Coin Savings Card and 10 Soul Crystals (Large). He only needed to pay 880,000 Paradise coins, but he paid 900,000. Anyone could guess this trick; he didn’t even mention when he’d pay the remaining 12 Soul Crystals (Large).
"Brother Bai Ye, have you heard of Little Huayu?"
Qian Da Pang suddenly switched the topic to gossip.
"I’ve heard of her, a worker who likes to court death."
How could Su Xiao not have heard of Little Huayu? Even Fifth Tier Contractors might have heard of Little Huayu.
Little Huayu is a 17.8-year-old cute girl worker. Her profession is very peculiar; commonly speaking, it’s a ’War Correspondent.’
With this peculiar profession, Little Huayu was very imaginative. She actually started live streaming in the Derivative World. By leveraging her peculiar profession and a soul-bound equipment, she could transmit real-time information from the Derivative World to Reincarnation Paradise for others to watch.
If Su Xiao became stronger through battles, then Little Huayu became stronger by recording battles. Her profession had almost no attack ability, only survival power.
This odd bird had live-streamed Kaneki Ken VS Owashi Uri (Gecko), the Cabane Zombie Tide, Parasitic Beast feasting, and the battle between the Red Eye and Black Pupil sisters, among others.
These stunning contents, along with Little Huayu’s hilarious style and the free viewing threshold, made many contractors know her.
Su Xiao couldn’t quite understand why Qian Da Pang brought up a girl irrelevant to the transaction.
"Little Huayu is sponsored by us, Black Sail," Qian Da Pang showed a smile all men would understand and continued, "As for those twelve Soul Crystals, let your brother wait for two worlds. From today, Little Huayu is yours to command. Her looks, Brother Bai Ye, you wouldn’t find them lacking, right? They’re not post-enhanced looks."
Qian Da Pang’s smile grew more ambiguous, clearly implying: ’We’re all adults, let’s discuss some interesting topics.’
"A woman, twelve Soul Crystals, if it were you, how would you choose?"
"Brother Bai Ye, you shouldn’t talk like that, those twelve Soul Crystals..."
Qian Da Pang stopped mid-sentence when he saw Su Xiao smiling at him.
"Little Huayu is worth at least four, considering long-term value, she can bring a big Paradise coin income and help relax the body and mind."
Qian Da Pang no longer beat around the bush, directly revealing his intention. The poor Little Huayu hadn’t even met Su Xiao, and Qian Da Pang was already selling her off to him.
"Long-term income? Whether I’ll die in the next world is still unsure. Within two hours, twelve Soul Crystals in front of me."
"This..."
Qian Da Pang rubbed his hands. He initially wanted to deal with Su Xiao the same way he dealt with other Lone Rangers, but Su Xiao saw through his intent.
All men fancy known cute girls, especially those they can rub on the bed; Su Xiao was no exception. He’s not a saint. On the contrary, he’s an evil man.
But Little Huayu belongs to Black Sail, making her untrustworthy for Su Xiao. He only trusts Bu Bu Wang, A Mu, and Hai Dong, among which Hai Dong is already dead.
"No room for negotiation?"
Qian Da Pang couldn’t put on airs because mishandling this would affect Black Sail’s reputation.
"There is."
Qian Da Pang’s eyes lit up, and he quickly asked: "Please elaborate."
"A high-quality mid-range weapon, preferably a pistol."
"Alright, as long as it’s something Paradise coins can handle, I, Qian Da Pang, will definitely help my brother."
Qian Da Pang intended to fish in troubled waters again.
"Two hours, eight Soul Crystals."
Qian Da Pang deflated, sighing; he knew he couldn’t escape this hurdle today.
"Okay, give me two hours."
Qian Da Pang’s efficiency was high. In less than an hour, eight Soul Crystals (Large) were placed before Su Xiao. From this gambling match, Su Xiao gained a total of 480,000 Paradise coins, eight Soul Crystals (Large), plus an unknown-quality pistol.
For a pistol worth a full four Soul Crystals (Large), Qian Da Pang certainly couldn’t pass off ordinary goods.
During this hour, the silly cute girl Little Huayu was baffled. Her ’sponsor’ forcibly summoned her and told her to wait. Little Huayu wasn’t stupid; she clearly sensed something was off, but alas, she was bound by a contract.
After nervously waiting for a few minutes, she was informed she’d be meeting a guest, whose code name was Bai Ye. Upon hearing this code name, Little Huayu nearly burst into tears, guessing she had been sold.
But unexpectedly, two minutes later, those Black Merchants told her she could leave. The ups and downs of life were too stimulating, but despite all that, Little Huayu preserved her chastity.
Two hours later, a Black Merchant walked into the reception room, holding a wooden box about twenty centimeters wide and half a meter long.
"Brother Bai Ye, this is the price of my greed."
Qian Da Pang pushed the wooden box towards Su Xiao, laughing heartily. But judging from his pained expression, his mood was probably not great.
Su Xiao opened the wooden box, finding a completely black pistol lying inside, surrounded by soft filler material.
This pistol was about 28 centimeters long, a medium-large handgun, with a thick body and a suppressor attached to the front end. This was the most unique muzzle suppressor Su Xiao had ever seen—no, this could entirely be termed a work of art.
Su Xiao picked up the pistol from the wooden box. This fully black pistol felt slightly heavy; an ordinary person wouldn’t be able to use it, but for Su Xiao, it felt light.
[You acquired ’Destroy·Assassin’ (Legendary Level)]
[Equip ’Destroy·Assassin’? This is a legendary gear, once equipped, it will soul-bind to the user, becoming unsellable, with a chance to appear in the Scarlet Card after death and can be smelted.]
Although Su Xiao hadn’t yet checked the attributes of ’Destroy·Assassin’, he could feel its performance. This thing was like a Silent Hunter in the darkness.
