Chapter 155 Asking for an exorbitant price?
Yu Qi frowned; she had a feeling that something was amiss.
She checked her bracelet and found that the entire hall was filled with discussions about the underwater banquet.
[Family members, the Underwater Banquet instance looks incredibly lucrative. Shall we go in and grab some loot?]
[What's going on with this instance? There's no detailed information at all. At least let us know who hosted this banquet, and what was served!]
[Forget it, I'm a coward, I'd rather not go. You guys can tell me when you get back. I'm already exhausted from constantly fighting monsters on the ship!]
[Brave people enjoy life, brothers, I'm off ahead!]
[Hurry to the banquet, everyone! All the monsters there are incredibly generous. Rumor has it that everyone here is a big shot; even a glimpse of what they've got is enough to make us envious!]
[Holy crap, bro, you can't lie to me, I'm already getting ready to go!]
[Why would I lie to you? This is a tidbit I got from another monster merchant. Everyone who sees this comment should be secretly happy!!]
Yu Qi clicked on the person's profile picture and browsed through all of their comments, finally focusing on a post from three days ago.
[Help! I keep feeling like a monster is following me! What should I do? That monster seems really powerful!]
After closing the chat room, Yu Qi said with a serious expression, "Don't go yet, this could very well be a conspiracy."
Zhan Bai nodded: "Boss, we all trust you. If you say you won't go, then you won't go!"
"Actually, I've always thought it was very unlikely. How could there possibly be a dungeon where you can suddenly get rich?"
After explaining things to all his teammates, Yu Qi got into his vehicle.
Currently, I feel that it is absolutely safe inside, and it can isolate many difficulties.
Next, she began to open all the wooden cans.
As expected, gold items are of the highest quality. The first one I got was the Heart of Ice, an ice-type ability that can even freeze water tornadoes.
The second golden can contained a golden ore. Yu Qi couldn't tell what it was, and his assistant couldn't identify it either, so they just put it aside.
The third card I got was a golden, wide-area healing card that could heal many people in a short time.
From the last golden wooden can, she opened a pair of silver curved blades. The material itself was extraordinary; with just a slight touch against the intermediate energy core, all the energy was absorbed into it.
"This is actually a scimitar that can absorb energy. It looks really good. Although it's not the weapon I really want, it can be used as a backup."
Yu Qi smiled and put the pair of curved swords into her spatial storage.
The other items were mostly various cards, ores, and some rare materials.
Finally, Yu Qi counted them.
She extracted a total of 103 black ore, which were piled up inside the vehicle like a small mountain.
That's more than enough for Redbeard's side, but she still needs to explain it to him again, just to be on the safe side.
After storing everything in his spatial storage, Yu Qi picked up the fiery red card again.
In a flash, he arrived at the familiar magma layer, where the Redbeard Weapon Master was busy at work.
Upon seeing her, he couldn't wait to jump over.
"You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you! You have no idea how difficult it was to make that weapon of yours!"
"It's clearly an umbrella, but you can draw out a long sword, and then it can even turn into a spear, and it has many mechanisms on it!"
"I've been researching this for so long, my head is about to explode! You have to give me a lot of the black ore we agreed on!"
As the bearded man spoke, a smile appeared on his face again.
Yu Qi nodded slightly: "Things aren't going so smoothly. I went to ask the Turtle Family, and they said that all the black ore has been put into cans. Even though our family is a distinguished guest of the Turtle Family, we still have to buy it from the cans."
Upon hearing this, Redbeard's face immediately fell: "Those old turtles, all they do is scramble for those canned goods! They have to buy canned goods for everything, it's infuriating, absolutely infuriating!"
His first instinct was to throw the design drawings in his hand away.
However, Yu Qi raised an eyebrow: "I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you so agitated? Although we can't buy in bulk, our family still has some influence with the Turtle Family, so we can buy their wooden canned goods at a discount."
"Each wooden can is not expensive; a batch of black ore will be opened later."
Upon hearing this, Redbeard's eyes lit up immediately: "That's great, that's great!"
"However, if you want me to continue making weapons for you, you'll have to give me at least a hundred catties of black ore!"
Yu Qi glanced at him, then turned and left.
What a joke! What kind of quantity is 100 jin of black ore? We could buy ten or more of these weapons with her!
This is no ordinary ore; it's an extremely special material!
Even the turtle family only put one piece in each wooden can!
Redbeard thinks she doesn't understand, so he's making exorbitant demands!
Redbeard panicked and immediately chased after him: "Hey, don't leave so decisively! We can still discuss it. 100 jin of black ore is indeed a bit much. How about you give me 80 jin?!"
"No, no, no, Grandma, just give me 50 jin, just 50 jin is enough!"
Seeing that Yu Qi was about to disappear, Redbeard knelt down in a hurry: "20 jin, Grandma, just give me 20 jin. I worked hard to make this weapon for you, and it took a lot of effort and ore!"
Yu Qi then stopped and smiled at him.
