“Elder Adeline, I am Lin Ye. It is a pleasure to meet you.”
Lin Ye smiled widely. As he spoke, his body flashed and the special effect of the Level 2 Lord’s Skin activated.
Whoosh—
Silver clouds streamed down like mist from above.
Silver armor, red cloud boots, paired with the handsome face of the great Lord Lin, made him look like the handsome version of Zhao Yun from another world.
Meeting those deep eyes, Adeline felt like a pebble had been thrown into the calm lake of her heart, stirring up waves.
Her face flushed red. She avoided Lin Ye’s gaze and said softly, “Lord Lin, I came for two things. The first is the teleportation array’s fee. Whether it is from here to the underworld or the other way around, the teleportation fee is very expensive. Adelia brought a total of eight items to the underworld and returned with eight and a half items. In total, it costs 60,000 Zombie Souls. I hope you can pay generously.”
“In other words, 3,700 per item? The price will remain the same even in the future?” Lin Ye nodded. It was an acceptable price.
Furthermore, this was good as well. Having a certain amount to pay meant that there was a threshold to pass. He did not want others to start learning from him when they opened their Reputation Shop. Wasn’t this stealing his money?
When others could afford it, he would have conquered the entire underworld market.
“It’s different. The price is determined by the value of the item. The price of teleportation for each item is fixed by what the Gods say.”
Adeline said softly.
At this point, her expression became a little strange.
Because according to the rules, the teleportation price of a Level 3 Body Strengthening Pill was 6,000 Zombie Souls per bottle.
Lin Ye’s transaction amount was 8.5 bottles, which was 51,000 Souls.
In other words, the teleportation price of eight bottles of divine items for bathing from another world was only worth a few thousand souls?
That was a big problem.
She had already planned it on the way here.
She wanted to secretly warn this arrogant human lord that Her Highness Adelia was simple-minded, but the higher-ups of the Elemental Ranger race were not fools. He should not try to extort them in the name of Her Highness.
However, after seeing Lin Ye in person, she changed her mind.
“Of course, Lord Lin Ye is a major customer. In the future, we will activate the super VVIP mode of the rangers and give you the greatest discount.”
“That’s great.” Lin Ye was overjoyed and waved enthusiastically. “Come, Elder Adeline. You’re Adelia’s aunt, so you’re family. Come and have a seat. I have a saint-level drink produced in China. It can only be tasted by saints. You must try it.”
“…” Adeline staggered, almost frightened by the word ‘saint’.
Her beautiful eyes glanced at Lin Ye as she sighed inwardly.
This lord was truly a talent. He did not flush or pant when bragging. He was a classic scourge!
She remembered that in a certain era, humans seemed to have a saying, ‘scourges will live for a thousand years’?
That statement was pretty accurate then.
When she returned, she felt like she had to have a chat with the empress. This might be a chance. They could use this lord Lin Ye as a bargaining chip.
As for the rest, she felt that they were far inferior to this person. They were not even worthy of carrying their shoes.
Thinking of that.
As expected, the generous Lord Lin directly gave 100,000 Zombie Souls.
In Lin Ye’s eyes, when he saw that Elder Adeline did not come out of the teleportation array for a long time, he thought that she was putting on airs.
If he didn’t pay, she wouldn’t come over.
He did not mind. After all, she was a big customer who directly gave him the 850 Level 3 Body Strengthening Pill.
Alright, on account that you’re both rich ladies, I’ll forgive your rude actions since this lord was generous.
At the same time, he personally carried a large bag as tall as a person and brought it over.
“Elder Adeline, I was too busy talking. I’ll settle the payment first. This is 100,000 Zombie Souls. Take the remaining as a form of respect from your junior for your tea.” Lin Ye smiled.
“How… how can I accept this?” Even though Adeline had seen a lot of big things and had seen more money than this.
However, the problem was that the money belonged to the clan. No one had given her tens of thousands of zombie souls for herself.
This was too terrifying.
Seeing Elder Adeline’s hesitation, Lin Ye gave Adelia a look.
She understood his meaning immediately.
“Aunt, just take it. My lord is so poor that he only has money left. This is nothing to him.”
Adelia held her aunt’s hand and coaxed, “Didn’t you complain a while ago that you didn’t have the money to enter the Secret Holy Land to cultivate? That’s why you accepted the mission to guard the teleportation array. With your talent, with this money, you’ll be a Class 6 expert when you come out of seclusion!”
“If you really feel bad about it, please put in a good word for my lord.”
Her last statement had three meanings to it. Lin Ye didn’t mind, but Elder Adeline knew exactly what she meant.
Good lord, she was siding with outsiders so quickly.
After a moment’s hesitation, Adeline still could not defeat Lin Ye’s sugar-coated bullets and accepted the gift.
When she accepted the money, her attitude naturally became nicer to Lin Ye. She smiled and said, “Thank you for your gift, lord. In the future, if there’s a chance and if you don’t mind, you can recruit me through Adelia.”
“Definitely.” Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction and invited again, “It’s still early. Is Elder Adeline willing to chat for a bit?”
“This… I’m currently at the peak of Class 5. At most, I can only stand within the range of the teleportation array. Once I step out, I will be punished.” Adeline smiled bitterly.
“I see. That’s okay. I’ll just go over.”
Lin Ye laughed and got someone to carry the outdoor balcony and the tea table near to the teleportation array.
After sitting down, he personally made a cup of tea for Elder Adeline. “Come, have some tea while we chat.”
“What is this?” Adeline took a sip and her eyes lit up.
So fragrant!
It was a drink she had never drunk before.
The texture was mellow and sweet, not inferior to the green light forest that the elves had created.
“Pu’er tea from Mountain Bulang is a high-end tea back in China. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a sacred item.” Lin Ye spouted nonsense in all seriousness.
He did not know anything about tea leaves, but this was not a tea-tasting discussion. He could brag and boost his reputation about the tea for all he knew.
After chatting for a while, they felt that they had become more familiar with each other. Elder Adeline said, “As for the second matter, my empress wants to reach an agreement with you. If you have enough supplies, my clan can pre-order your bathing divine items for a long time. Of course, we have to control the price. 100 Level 3 Body Strengthening Pills per bottle of the divine item is a little too much. As compensation, I can make a personal decision and include the tea we just drank into the trading list.”
“Sure, sure.”
Lin Ye smiled. Great, another thing to sell.
Wonderful!
Ah, suddenly, an idea flashed across his mind.
He turned his head and said, “Adelia, did you share about sanitary pads with your aunt?”
“Ah, I forgot!” Adelia naturally understood her lord’s intentions and cooperated.
“Look, you’re always so careless. Sanitary pads are divine items for women. How can you bear to let such a beautiful and elegant beauty like your Aunt continue to suffer?”
“…”
Listening to the double entendre of the two, Adeline was speechless.
However, out of courtesy, she still asked, “What are sanitary pads?”
“Aunt, come here. I’ll tell you quietly.” Adelia quickly pulled her aunt to the side and whispered in her ear.
“Are you serious!” A moment later, after knowing the benefits of sanitary pads, Adeline was also excited.
Females made up a big portion of the rangers. The monthly affair was troublesome and indescribably uncomfortable when it came.
This had nothing to do with the cultivation level. Even if she was an incomparably powerful empress, wouldn’t she still have to suffer through these few days?
It would be a meritorious service to solve this problem!
Furthermore, they could also sell to other noble clans to increase the income of the clan. It was killing two birds with one stone.
“Of course it’s true. Could I possibly lie to my own aunt? Besides, I’m wearing one right now,” Adelia whispered, blushing slightly.
“My lord…”
Hearing this, Elder Adeline looked at Lin Ye with burning eyes.
“Coughs.”
At this moment, as the owner, Lin Ye naturally couldn’t remain unmoved. He took the initiative and said, “How about this? I’ll give Aunt a packet first. Go back and try it with the empress yourself. If it feels good, we can discuss the trade again.”
“As for the transportation fees, please inform the empress that I will be in charge of everything and not burden the clan at all.”
“Your lord is generous and decisive. You are truly promising at such a young age. If the future queen of our race can have one-tenth of your courage, we can die without regrets.”
Adeline sighed.
“Aunt, what are you saying? What do you mean by dying without regrets? We all have to live forever.”
Adelia said unhappily.
“Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing.” Adeline chuckled lightly, feeling good.
What happened next was much simpler. Lin Ye and Adeline immediately established the trading details for the shower gel and shampoo.
After the deal was sealed, Lin Ye felt awkward.
The other party had actually guessed that the shower gel was not a real ‘divine object’. However, he had a good impression of Adeline. Furthermore, she was Adelia’s aunt, so he gave up on the idea of scamming her clan.
A bottle of 20 Level 3 Body Strengthening Pills, 100 bottles per week of transaction.
“Here, Lord Lin Ye, I’ll pay you 2,000 Level 3 Body Strengthening Pills in advance. If you have all the goods here, you can pass them to Adelia.”
Adeline looked expectantly at Lin Ye. “I hope we can reach an early cooperation with you about the sanitary pads.”
“Definitely.” Lin Ye smiled and gave her another sum for the transportation fee. 2,000 Level 3 Body Strengthening Pills was not a small amount.
The transportation fee alone required 120,000 Zombie Souls. Unless one was not an ordinary nouveau riche, they would not be able to afford this.
“Right, before I leave, I’ll give the lord a piece of good news.”
Adelina smiled and said, “I heard from Adelia that the lord is interested in the underworld’s trade market. If you want the recruitment order of the Three-tailed Fox Lady, you can go and kill a Level 5 Harpy Zombie. Their drop rate is high.”
“Level 5 Harpy Zombies can drop recruitment orders for three-tailed fox ladies?!!” Lin Ye was overjoyed when he heard that.
What shocked him was that after Adeline said that, a golden bolt of lightning appeared out of thin air, hitting her until she was covered in black smoke and bleeding profusely.
