Chapter 163 Little Money-Loving Yi
Chapter 163 Little Money-Loving Yi
Xingluo waited patiently for the other party to complete the carving task for today, and followed the other party to an area full of dilapidated houses. This was the slums of Prontera, where most of the people were refugees. Even a prosperous city has a dark side. There were a lot of girls with no clothes on soliciting customers. Their exposed skin was carefully wiped clean, and their faces were painted with thick makeup. They tried to make seductive movements, but they might be too hungry, so they acted a little anxious, and even took the initiative to attack the pedestrians who were hurrying by.
With Xingluo's speed, he easily dodged a girl who wanted to attack him. The girl had a pretty face, but her skin was sickly pale because she had not seen the sun for many years. It was obvious that she was malnourished. Behind her was the girl's home, but the sound of a child crying faintly came from inside, which made her eyes more determined.
After seeing Xingluo evading, she took a few steps forward, intending to grab Xingluo, and said in a tearful voice: "My noble lord, I only need 10 silver coins!"
Xingluo realized that the other party seemed to be unskilled in this matter. "He is still a novice. Ten silver coins are only the price of one night at Sunset Inn."
Xingluo frowned even more tightly. He didn't want to be disrupted by this girl in his tracking. Although he could track the other party from a long distance with his strong mental power, he was also wearing super pupils, no, they were processed super pupils. He modified the super pupils slightly, which could not only display the precise distance of the target, but also mark the trajectory of the other party after locking the target.
Xingluo could see the target's location clearly at a glance. He looked down and found that he had been entangled by the "octopus".
Just when Xingluo hesitated slightly, the other party had already pounced on him, hanging his entire body on Xingluo's arm.
Xingluo spoke in a cold tone, wearing a mask that concealed his true appearance: "Is your child inside?"
"No, sir, it's my sister."
Xing Luo let out a sigh of relief. The other person looked only in his teens due to malnutrition.
Xingluo took out a gold coin from her ring and handed it over. The other party instantly became alert. This was a price far higher than that of a silver coin. She didn't know if the other party had any special requirements. "She had heard that some noble masters were very perverted and specifically targeted little girls. The next day, they were tortured beyond recognition."
She couldn't die, and she still had a younger sister to take care of. Just as she was daydreaming, Xingluo's cold voice rang out: "If you want to get out of your current predicament, you have to be self-reliant. Although this method can make money, it is very dangerous, especially with such a young sister."
"Take this gold coin and go to the outskirts of the foggy area outside the city. Tell them that I asked you to come. They will take you in. Don't worry, I'm a student of Luoshen Academy and I won't harm you." Xingluo took out the student card of Luoshen Academy and shook it at her.
The girl identified it carefully and found that it was indeed the exclusive card of Luoshen Academy. She had seen it before, so it couldn't be wrong.
"Is this your first time?" Xingluo asked.
The girl blushed and lowered her head. "Well, my sister is too hungry. We can't hold on any longer, so..."
"Okay, I have something else to do. Here are 10 silver coins. Buy some food. Don't let anyone see the gold coins."
The girl looked at the falling stars in the distance. The stars were like a ray of sunshine that illuminated the place. The pleasant smell on their bodies temporarily dispelled the stench here.
Xingluo continued to track the other party. With Xingluo's physical strength comparable to that of a high-level knight, it was easy for him to catch up with the other party. After all, the other party was just a weak mage.
Under the super pupil lock, the opponent's trajectory is clearly marked with magic elements. This is a mixed use of magic power and mental power. It can cause disturbances when passing through the surrounding magic elements based on the fluctuations of the opponent's magic elements and mark the opponent's trajectory.
Xingluo has a lot of strange things in his mind every day. He wants to turn all these ideas into alchemical items, but he can't devote a lot of time to do these.
Finally, the other party stopped and did not notice Xingluo who had followed him all the way. After all, Xingluo did not use his mental power to lock onto the other party, but instead used a magic equipment to lock onto him, which was difficult to detect.
After the other party entered a house and never came out, Xingluo did not rashly use his mental power to detect, but left a mark with his super pupil and turned to leave. He did not plan to take action today, but planned to take advantage of the other party's time to carve the magic circle tomorrow to see what was inside.
Xingluo passed by the girl's house and found that there was no crying sound inside. He shook his head slightly. Xingluo just sensed that the girl's mental strength was much higher than that of ordinary people, and seemed to have magical talent, so he made the following actions. As for whether the other party would go or not in the end, it was not something he needed to consider. This was just an investment for him, an investment that did not take much time.
Giving timely assistance is much more useful than adding icing on the cake. When the other party is in that situation, one can imagine the despair in their hearts. Helping them at this time is far more useful than spending a gold coin to invite a noble lady for afternoon tea.
Thinking of this, Xingluo seemed to remember something. The auctioneer named Yi seemed to be very short of money. She was very talented. At that time, Xingluo planned to poach her when he had money. After all, beautiful auctioneers like this are popular everywhere.
Xing Luo glanced at the sky, which was already light, so he headed straight for the Xingyao Auction House. He planned to use the internal teleportation array of the Xingyao Auction House to go directly to Luoshen City. With his current authority, he could still do this.
In a blink of an eye, Xingluo returned to Luoshen City, a place that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him. A beautiful woman greeted her at the entrance, but she was not Yi. Xingluo took out a Xingyao Red Level Membership Card from his robe.
The girl was startled, and was slightly stunned when she looked at this identity card. She obviously didn't expect that the other party was actually a red-level member, which was second only to purple-gold-level members. The girl fell in love with him instantly. He came here as a host, hoping to meet a rich noble lord. A rich and young noble like Xingluo was his best choice.
Xingluo didn't know what the girl was thinking, so she just said calmly: "I want to find Yi! Take me there!"
The girl was slightly stunned when she heard this. She actually knew the top auctioneer here. He was the goal she longed to catch up with. She quickly restrained her emotions and said, "Please follow me!"
Xingluo nodded and followed the other party to a big door. "She is inside. I have something else to do so I won't disturb you."
The girl's attitude changed very quickly. Xingluo shook his head slightly. It seemed that Yi still had quite a lot of prestige here.
There was a knock on the door and a slightly lazy voice came from inside. Xingluo had already imagined the scene of the other party busy wiping his saliva.
"Come in!" A lazy and seductive voice sounded from the room.
Xingluo pushed the door open and closed it casually. Looking at the lazy appearance of the other person, he was indeed sleeping secretly, with a trace of saliva at the corner of his mouth.
Xingluo secretly laughed. He remained the same after all these years. He just didn't know if the other party had saved enough money.
“Isn’t this Xingluo? It’s been a while since I heard that you graduated from Luoshen Academy and led the academy to first place!”
When Yi saw Xingluo, she hurriedly stood up, trotted towards Xingluo barefoot, and flew up, ready to pounce on him. Xingluo dodged, and the other party fell to the ground with a thud.
Yi's hair was disheveled and draped over her clothes, which could not cover her. Her legs were bare and had a large area of skin. She looked so white and pitiful and said, "How could you treat me like this?"
He climbed up from the ground and did not continue to pounce on Xingluo.
Xingluo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't stand this beautiful woman every time he met her. She always kept provoking him. As Xingluo's mental strength increased, he immediately noticed the coldness under her seductive appearance. It seemed that everything she did was to make money. She would do anything to achieve her goal. Even if she had to sacrifice herself, she would not mind. Xingluo didn't like such people, but he felt sorry for them. So he came today to see how much money this beautiful auctioneer needed to work so hard, and by the way, he wanted to dig up the Flame Hammer Auction House for him.
"This is the first time you've come to see me in so many years. Humph, you unfaithful man, don't you know how much I miss you?"
If someone didn’t know better, they would think Xingluo was really the kind of bastard who abandoned his family. Xingluo said helplessly: “Well, I came here to invite you to be the auctioneer of Flame Hammer. The price will definitely satisfy you.”
Yi's eyes lit up when she heard the last part. Xingluo realized that only when the other party mentioned money did he become true to himself and no longer hide anything.
"My appetite is huge, you have to give me more to satisfy me!"
"Oh? How big is your appetite?"
"Is 1000 high-level magic cores a year enough? If the auction item exceeds the estimated price, 1% will belong to you."
Don’t underestimate 1%. The average auction house’s commission is only 3% of the total price plus 3% on the excess.
Yi's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Tell me, do you like me, Xiao Xingluo? I can do it for you, sister."
Xingluo couldn't stand this guy who was always teasing her, "I am impressed by your ability, and you are also in need of money. How much do you need?"
"It's nothing, I just like money." Yi's tone became a little colder, and it seemed that she didn't want to talk more about this matter.
Xingluo was not discouraged when he saw that the other party didn't tell him. Although he was a little curious, he was not a very optimistic person.
I will pay the penalty for breach of contract for you. As long as you sign the contract, you can come to work at Magic Hammer tomorrow.
Yi did not hesitate, as if she had no resistance to money, just like men had no resistance in front of her.
Xingluo had no doubt that if another force offered more, she would leave him without hesitation.
"One additional request. If you want to leave Flame Hammer because of money, tell me and I can give you more. If one day you are willing to tell me how much money you need, I may be able to help you. After all, money is something outside of one's body. It is not worth giving up too much for it! I am very rich now!"
Yi lowered her head, her eyes dimmed, and then she regained her former vigor in an instant, "I will go to work tomorrow! My employer!"
After Xingluo left the Xingyao Auction House, he went to Prontera and gave a brief explanation. He planned to arrange Yi here. After all, the stage here was bigger and the profit was more, which was beneficial to both of them.
