Chapter 349: The deal and the request (1)

...

Tang Zhen was directing the construction of the rebirth altar in an empty Valley.

When he heard that someone was going to auction the foundation stone of the tower in the auction house, and it was a top-grade foundation stone that could produce a protective shield, he immediately put down the work at hand and drove to the commercial area.

Although the Holy Dragon City had the weapons from the original world to defend the city and had astonishing destructive power, it still had a lot of disadvantages.

If the flying monsters were fast enough, they could definitely charge into the Holy Dragon Valley with ease.

The last time the four-legged flying dragons attacked the city, they had successfully charged into the Holy Dragon Valley.

Back then, if they had a defensive barrier with no blind spots, those four-legged flying dragons would not have been able to charge in even if they died of exhaustion.

Therefore, this kind of building foundation was extremely important to the Holy Dragon City. Tang Zhen absolutely could not miss it.

Tang Zhen rushed to the auction house and went straight to the second floor without any hesitation.

The white-robed old man and the old man were chatting. After seeing Tang Zhen appear, the white-robed old man immediately stood up and bowed.

“Greetings to the city Lord!”

The white-robed old man was an appraiser specially hired by the Holy Dragon city’s auction house. He was experienced and had sharp eyes, a rare talent.

This person was originally a resident of Black Rock City. Before he joined Holy Dragon City, he had been working for the influential people in Black Rock City, selling and identifying all kinds of items sold by the Wanderers.

His eyesight was extremely good. Not only did he find a lot of good things for the boss, but he also helped to avoid a lot of losses.

After working hard for decades, the white-robed old man still lived a poor life. The greedy aristocrat of Black Rock City did not give him much preferential treatment.

After Black Rock City was destroyed, the old man joined Holy Dragon City. After understanding his specialty, he was immediately assigned to the auction house.

Now that he was in the Holy Dragon city’s auction house, his treatment was ten times better than before. He had even become the auction house’s chief appraiser and was highly valued.

Tang Zhen turned his head and looked at the white-robed old man after chatting for a while.

This person’s cultivation was very obscure. However, Tang Zhen could still see that his cultivation was around level four.

He was a level 4 cultivator, but he was dressed like a Wanderer. It was obvious that he wanted to hide his identity.

Tang Zhen didn’t care about this. He was only interested in the building foundation stone in the other party’s hands.

When Tang Zhen was sizing up the old man, the other party was also sizing him up.

Hearing that this young man was the Holy Dragon city’s city Lord, the old man was first shocked, but then he was overjoyed.

He was shocked that the person in front of him was so young, but his cultivation was extremely high. It was as the rumors said, he was a real Lord-tier cultivator!

To think that there would be a Lord-tier city Lord in a level 3 city, this was a rare sight!

He was happy that the Holy Dragon City had a Lord-level cultivator in charge. In addition, they had a large number of flintlocks, so they would definitely not be afraid of the foreign races who had lost their Foundation!

Perhaps he could get what he wanted without going through an auction!

The old man hurriedly bowed to Tang Zhen after thinking up to this point.

Tang Zhen gestured for the other party to sit down. He did not say much nonsense and went straight to the main topic.

I want to buy the foundation stone of the tower from you. Name a price.

That old man did not expect Tang Zhen to be so straightforward. He actually went straight to the point without any nonsense. However, when he thought about Tang Zhen’s identity, it seemed that there was no need for him to go in circles with him.

After carefully thinking for a moment, the old man said to Tang Zhen,”This Supreme-grade foundation stone can not be sold for less than five million brain beads!”

Five million brain beads was not a small number, equivalent to fifty level six brain beads!

Tang Zhen could take out these brain beads, but he couldn’t accept the price.

Although a building foundation stone with top-grade attributes was rare, the obvious benefits could only be seen after it was upgraded to the advanced level, which also meant that a huge amount of investment was needed.

This was because it was clearly not a wise move to purchase too many foundation stones.

“Although your tower’s cornerstone can activate the protective shield, we don’t know what kind of protective shield it is, how strong it is, and how much energy it consumes!

Under such circumstances, for me to be able to give you 2 million brain beads is already an extremely high price!”

Tang Zhen looked at the old man opposite him and spoke in a neither hurried nor slow tone.

What Tang Zhen said was the truth. However, this matter concerned his own interests. How could the old man easily compromise? therefore, he immediately replied,”The foundation stone that can activate the protective shield has always been a must-get item for high-level buildings.

Five million brain beads might seem like a high price, but it was worth it.

After all, brains could be earned, but such a top-grade building foundation could not be found in many years.

If the city Lord misses this opportunity, it will be difficult to meet him again!”

Tang Zhen thought for a moment before speaking to the old man,”I’ll give you three million brain beads, this is already an extremely high price. Even if you take those high grade buildings, you might not be able to sell them for this price!”

The old man thought for a moment and nodded, but he added another condition.

“I can give the three million brain beads to the city Lord, but I hope you can sell me a few flintlocks?”

Tang Zhen smiled when he heard this. His finger gently knocked on the table as if he was in deep thought.

The old man was a little nervous as he stared at Tang Zhen without blinking.

Just like Tang Zhen, he was also determined to obtain the Holy Dragon city’s flintlock, afraid that the other party would reject his request.

A moment later, Tang Zhen turned his head around and looked at the old man who was pretending to be calm.

“Flintlocks are priceless. Even if you can see them occasionally, their quality can’t be compared to the one I have.

I can sell it to you, one hundred thousand brain beads for one bullet, a hundred brain beads for one shot, this price is absolutely fair.

However, I also have a request that I hope you can agree to.”

The old man was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn’t think that the price of 100000 brain beads was expensive.

This was the price of a low-level magic weapon.

If the Holy Dragon City were to sell automatic rifles now, even if the price was doubled, foreign merchants would come to fight for them.

They had long been drooling over the Holy Dragon city’s weapons.

However, he did not know what Tang Zhen’s request would be. This made the old man feel a little uneasy.

“I hope that when you get similar tower cornerstones in the future, you will trade with me first. I’m very interested even if it’s of lower quality.

As long as you have the goods, you don’t have to worry about the price!”

The old man thought in his heart when he heard this. He was originally afraid that Tang Zhen would raise some harsh conditions. He did not expect that it would be this request.

To have a stable buyer who could quickly sell the foundation stone of the tower in his hand was something that could only be encountered but not sought. How could the old man refuse?

He nodded without hesitation.

After the two sides came to an agreement, they signed a contract and the old man quickly left the auction house.

Doing business with a cultivator of Tang Zhen’s status was far more stable than doing business with ordinary cultivators because they paid more attention to credibility and reputation.

If Tang Zhen wanted to do this, it would cause immeasurable losses to the Holy Dragon City once it was spread out. Therefore, the old man was not worried that Tang Zhen would do something that was not beneficial to him.

Half an hour later, the old man returned and handed over a Tower Foundation stone that was shining with beautiful runes to Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen also readily paid the brain Pearl, three brand new rifles, and the matching bullets.

In addition, Tang Zhen also gave the old man a special pass to facilitate their re-entry into the Holy Dragon city’s area.

After the transaction was completed, the three of them immediately left the Holy Dragon City. Riding on the mounts they had just bought, they galloped into the distance.

After Tang Zhen watched them gradually leave, he then exited from the map view and looked at the Tower Foundation stone in his hand.

“I hope these three guys can bring me enough surprises!”
