Lu Yu’s change in expression did not go unnoticed by the vendor.
The vendor was shaken and could not help but feel ecstatic inside.
When Lu Yu sold those mutated Star Spirit Beads just now, many people were speculating that Lu Yu could see the hidden attributes of these items.
He also saw Lu Yu walking past each stall, pausing briefly at every one. Yet, he only bought one item.
The stall owner was convinced that this item he had misjudged was definitely a treasure!
Therefore, the vendor’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied with a faint smile, “Sorry, I accidentally placed it here by mistake. Actually, I don’t want to sell this item!”
“So?” Lu Yu’s eyes flashed with a chilling light as he coldly said, “Is it because I sold the rare mutated star bead and identified its attributes, letting you discover my abilities?”
The stall owner’s scalp tingled as he recalled Lu Yu’s earlier tactics. He forced a laugh and said, “I’m really sorry, it was just a momentary mistake—I took out something that was originally meant for my own use. I really have a use for that item; I definitely didn’t intend to sell it!”
Lu Yu held the gray Star Spirit Pearl between his index finger and thumb, his voice cold as he said, “The rules here are clearly written on the stone tablet. Anything displayed for sale cannot be taken back. Now, tell me the price—this item is mine.”
The stall owner was visibly shaken, not expecting Lu Yu to be so forceful. He couldn’t help but say coldly, “Friend, are you trying to take this by force? But there’s no rule here saying I must sell my item to you, right? Therefore, I don’t want to sell this item to you. Please return it to me.”
Lu Yu laughed and said, “That’s right! It seems you’ve thoroughly understood the rules here; I really can’t do anything about it then.”
When Lu Yu wanted to throw the gray Stellar Soul Pearl back onto the stall, he said, “I hope you’ll be more careful next time.”
“There won’t be a next time. Starting today, you’re no longer welcome at this stall,” the vendor sneered, then raised his hand to pick up the Star Spirit Pearl.
The vendor’s hands were slightly trembling, and his heart was pounding nervously.
He was really looking forward to the power of this Spirit Pearl.
However, just as the vendor was about to grab the Star Spirit Pearl, a black, thin hand shot out faster and snatched the pearl from the stall.
“How much for this bead!” said a cold, emotionless voice.
Lu Yu turned his head and saw a thin, dark-skinned young man crouching beside him.
He still remembered this young man.
Wu Wenjie!
Several months ago, the three young men who had entered with Wu Wenjie were severely dealt with by him.
That was also Lu Yu’s first battle at the Demon Hunting Plains, a moment he had never forgotten.
“I don’t like the look of you either, so I never intended to sell anything to you!” This time, the vendor replied even more decisively, extending his hand and saying, “Give the bead back to me.”
“Then what about me?” Beside Wu Wenjie, a young man stepped forward, approaching the Spirit Pearl in Wu Wenjie’s hand, and said, “Name your price.”
“No sale!” The stall owner replied coldly, seeing another young person.
Beside this young man were two companions, both of whom also had intact arms, though each was missing a piece from their ear.
Lu Yu came to know these three people even better.
The three men led by Chen Zhenglong were severely beaten up by Lu Yu.
Lu Yu looked the three of them up and down, noticing with slight surprise that their arms were completely unscathed.
Is there really a way to regenerate even a severed arm?
This world really is full of surprises!
Chen Zhenglong and the other two individuals, upon noticing Lu Yu’s gaze directed toward them, had expressions that became extremely uneasy, filled with fear and apprehension.
Lu Yu couldn’t help but smile faintly. Obviously, the pain from that time had already left a shadow in their hearts, transforming into a deep and lasting ache.
Chen Zhenglong and the other two, seeing Lu Yu burst into laughter, quickly turned their heads away, too afraid to look at Lu Yu.
“How come, none of us are selling?” Wu Wenjie’s face darkened as he said, “Boss, are you simply not willing to sell, or you refuse to sell!”
The vendor stretched out his hand and laughed, “Of course I don’t want to sell it to you!”
Lu Yu stood up, smiling as he brushed off a few specks of dust from his clothes, and said, “Then keep it. I hope you spend your entire life somewhere other than the Demon Hunting Plains, where I won’t have to find you again.”
Lu Yu’s expression darkened as he coldly stared at the stall owner and said, “Otherwise, I will do everything in my power to kill you and then extract the ability from your body. Because, I need that Star Spirit Pearl.”
The stall owner was alarmed and said, “You, you’re threatening me! As the one who sets the rules here, are you going to break them?”
Lu Yu sneered coldly, “Do you really think I’m still bound by the rules of the Monster Hunting Plains here in the real world? Each place has its own rules! In this world ruled by the law of the jungle, I’m merely trying to survive. Do you really think I’m still a good person after killing so many people?”
The vendor thought about Lu Yu’s earlier tactics, and began to break out in a cold sweat.
Indeed, on the Monster Hunting Plains, there were people who knew he was there and what he was called.
He could escape! But he was unable to flee while abandoning his own territory.
He couldn’t possibly give up everything for just one Star Spirit Pearl.
The stall owner grew increasingly angry as he thought about it, and finally snarled, “I don’t care what this Star Spirit Pearl is. But I absolutely won’t sell it to you. Ha! This young brother isn’t interested either. The price is ten thousand grade-one Star Spirit Pearls, one thousand grade-two Star Spirit Pearls, and thirty grade-three Star Spirit Pearls. If you can afford this price, I’ll sell it to you.”
The stall owner looked at Heizi and pointed at the gray Stellar Soul Pearl while speaking.
He is selling this pearl for only ten thousand grade-one star spirit stones.
However, when Lu Yu arrived, he already knew that this pearl must be extremely valuable.
But he was unwilling to sell it at the original price either. This price increase also made it clear that even if he sold it to someone else, he wouldn’t sell it to Lu Yu.
“Good!” Black child didn’t even think twice, he counted out each storage pearl from his backpack and then handed them to the stall owner, saying, “Not a single one missing, the deal is done!”
The stall owner approached the storage pearl, laughing loudly, “Alright then. I’ve already sold the pearl to someone else. Even if you kill me now, you won’t get anything.”
The vendor smiled, stood up, and began packing up the items on the stall.
Since the time is almost up, everyone here is about to be teleported out.
When the stall owner was得意ly looking at Lu Yu, he suddenly saw the dark-skinned, thin young man who had bought his items approach Lu Yu respectfully and say, “Sir, we know you are willing to accept any mission. We’ve been waiting for you at the Monster Hunting Plains recently, as our father has a task he wishes to entrust to you! As for the reward, it is this pearl!”
The dark and thin young man raised his right palm.
The stall owner was stunned, staring blankly at the dark and thin young man, his voice trembling as he asked, “What, what’s going on here?”
He just didn’t want to sell it to Lu Yu, so he sold it to someone else.
Lu Yu couldn’t believe it—how could it be that after turning around once, all the people here were actually familiar to him?
Chen Zhenglong and two others also stepped forward, bowing their heads respectfully and saying, “Master, this mission is very important. We hope you will agree to go. Originally, the Star Spirit Pearl inside the backpack was meant as your reward, but it has already been used to purchase this pearl. Therefore, this pearl will now serve as your compensation.”
“Have you guys been to Fanggang?” Lu Yu asked in surprise, looking at the group.
Because apart from the people from Fanggang, no one else in other cities knew about their affairs.
Wu Wenjie said, “We haven’t been there before. However, someone leaving from Fanggang mentioned something about you, so we know that you accept any missions.”
“Why me? There are so many experts nowadays, so why did you come looking for me?” Lu Yu looked at Wu Wenjie and others, asking.
“Reputation!” Wu Wenjie said earnestly. “We know that when you accepted a mission, you came across a special ability dropped by the Blood Demon Bear which could save lives. Despite knowing its value, you didn’t keep it for yourself, only taking the reward you deserved. It is precisely this kind of integrity we need to complete this task.”
“Then, I understand,” Lu Yu said. “I still have some matters to attend to. I’ll come over once I’ve finished them. As for the payment, according to my rules, you should know that a portion must be paid in advance, and the remainder will be settled based on the difficulty after completion, right?”
Wu Wenjie and others nodded their heads in agreement.
Wu Wenjie held up the bead and said, “This Star Spirit Bead is a partial payment in advance; please take it first.”
Lu Yu took the bead with a smile and said, “Wait until I finish this mission and survive, then I’ll come to your city! Tell your father that since I’ve accepted the task, I will definitely complete it.”
Wu Wenjie, Chen Zhenglong, and others’ faces lit up with delight.
After waiting for such a long time, I finally completed the task entrusted by my father.
“Tell me which city you’re in, and once I finish my own business, I’ll head there right away!”
Wu Wenjie said, “Chang County, the county town near Huaishi!”
“I’ve got it,” Lu Yu thought for a moment, then nodded after making sure he wouldn’t forget.
“Then we’ll leave first,” Wu Wenjie and Chen Zhenglong said, stepping back.
Lu Yu looked at the stall owner and smiled, saying, “Now, the item I wanted has returned to my hands. I wonder what you’re feeling right now!”
“Consider yourself lucky!” the stall owner said coldly, “I must have been blind not to see through your connection with these people!”
“You’re not blind, but you’re probably close enough,” Lu Yu said with a smile, releasing the soul of the deceased. “I’ve memorized your face. Don’t ever let me cross paths with you outside the Demon Hunting Plains, or else—I’ll kill you without hesitation!”
Lu Yu’s smile did not fade; instead, it grew colder, like a devil’s smirk, sending chills down the vendor’s spine.
The stall owner stammered loudly, “Wh-what do you mean? I don’t have anything in my hands anymore—what use would killing me be?”
Lu Yu continued smiling and said, “Because—you offended me. I always settle my scores, so you have to die.”
The time seemed to have come. A glow shimmered beneath Lu Yu’s feet, and half of his body had already sunk into the light.
The vendor’s body also began to be surrounded by a glow, but his face had already lost all its color.
Everyone on the Monster Hunting Plains was surrounded by light.
The dozens of people closest to Lu Yu heard his words and their expressions turned serious.
Lu Yu smiled faintly, knowing that his goal had been achieved.
Even if the effect of my Truth-Seeing Eye is exposed, so what!
Either you abide by the trading rules in the Demon Hunting Plains, or you wait in the real world for the hunt to come after you.
Lu Yu was warning everyone not to try any tricks to test his patience.
He is capable of using any means necessary to get what he wants!
