Chapter 42 Negotiation
The day after he last entered the Mountain and Sea Realm, Su Fan used the [Shared Dream Pillow] again.
Within the realm of mountains and seas...
"Hmm? Something's not right! Why are we here so early this time? According to the usual pattern, we enter once every ten days! This time it's been two days since our last entry." The same large group of people quickly arrived at the same spot as last time, and Chen Yang couldn't wait to speak.
"Otherwise, we should say that we are still exploring the Mountain and Sea Realm and cannot fall into empiricism. Just because it was like this in the past does not mean that it should be the same in the future," Jiang He said.
"With so many people here, are we going to have to hold another selection process this time?" Wang Jianguo said.
"Hey, why do you look so listless!" Chen Yang asked Zhang Siqi, who had come closer.
"Huh?! I haven't had much energy since I left last time. It must be some kind of fatigue period. But then again, if this Mountain and Sea Realm doesn't come every ten days, but only every two days, wouldn't that mean I'd be in a constant state of fatigue?" Zhang Siqi said weakly.
"Isn't the fatigue period really tough? One Emotional Crystal can solve it. If you want a continuous supply of Emotional Crystals, you need to find a way to collect them. You think Yingzhao is too expensive? Mine is cheaper than Yingzhao's," Chen Yang said.
Chen Yang, being a man of principle, said, "You know there are countless resources in the Mountain and Sea Realm, right? The eightieth floating island has a list of Mountain and Sea Wonders, where you can exchange Emotion Crystals for anything you want. You can exchange them there using the Emotion-Gathering Gourd, which can collect Emotion Crystals."
"On the list of rare treasures in the mountains and seas, a Soul-Gathering Gourd only costs 25,000 Emotion Crystals. Yingzhao directly doubled the price, which is essentially taking advantage of your lack of Emotion Crystals. We are, after all, from the same hometown, so I can give you a discount, but you have to let me make a little profit. How about 45,000 Emotion Crystals?" Chen Yang said, clearly implying that the other party had made a huge profit.
"Okay! I agree." Zhang Siqi thought about it and finally agreed to Chen Yang's suggestion.
"By the way, why didn't you agree to Yingzhao's offer before?" Chen Yang asked curiously.
"Huh?! It's because I want to be as clear-headed as possible when making decisions, rather than making decisions in a daze," Zhang Siqi explained.
"Then why did you agree now? You don't seem to be in a good state right now!" Chen Yang asked.
"This fatigue is unbearable, and your offer is more favorable than Yingzhao's," Zhang Siqi said.
"By the way, I can't give it to you right away because I don't have enough emotional crystals to exchange for the Emotional Absorption Gourd right now." Chen Yang suddenly remembered that they had just finished paying off their debts, and even if the other party agreed, Chen Yang wouldn't be able to produce the Emotional Absorption Gourd.
Zhang Siqi looked at Chen Yang speechlessly, her expression as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"
"Ahem!" Chen Yang felt a little embarrassed by being stared at, so he pretended to cough to ease the atmosphere. He said, "Don't worry, it's just a little over 20,000 emotional crystals, no big deal. Give me a maximum of two months, and I can definitely get it."
"So you're offering a 5,000 discount on Emotional Crystals because you don't have any in stock, right?" Zhang Siqi said.
"Hey, let's be friends. Before I give you the Emotional Gourd, I'll give you an Emotional Crystal every time you come into the Mountain and Sea Realm. That way you can get through this period of fatigue. What do you think?" Chen Yang said shyly.
"No good. I can get the goods right away, but now you want me to wait a while. You have to give me a discount. You have to compromise." Zhang Siqi seized on Chen Yang's inability to provide the goods in stock and started to bargain.
"You have to let me earn something! Anyway, it doesn't make much difference whether you get the Love-Gathering Gourd now or two months later."
"You yourself have said no more. The cost price on the Mountain and Sea Wonders List is only 25,000 Emotion Crystals. So, 40,000 Emotion Crystals. If you agree, I'll do it your way. Give me two Emotion Crystals every time I enter the Mountain and Sea Realm."
"Your name is Greed..."
Chen Yang and Zhang Siqi began a friendly discussion and deliberation, and fortunately, the deal was finalized in the end.
As for why Chen Yang and Zhang Siqi were the ones negotiating, it was Chen Yang's own idea. According to his plan, if they were to fall out because of this, he would take full responsibility for his actions.
Although Jiang He didn't support doing this, wanting to avoid antagonizing Ying Zhao, Chen Yang insisted that no one else had an obligation to stop him.
Of course, Su Fan, Jiang He, and Wang Jianguo also had to contribute the emotional crystals needed to exchange for the Emotional Gourd.
Otherwise, Chen Yang wouldn't have been able to gather 25,000 Emotion Crystals in two months to exchange for the Emotion Gourd.
"At least this time there was no commotion!" Chen Yang watched the newlyweds pointing and gesturing with an air of superiority.
"Xiao Zhang and his friends even got into a fight last time, but after being struck by lightning, they all quieted down," Wang Jianguo chimed in.
This made Zhang Siqi, the previous champion and the person who experienced it firsthand, feel somewhat embarrassed.
Suddenly, without warning, thousands of people on Qingyu Island vanished in an instant.
As everyone looked, it was indeed Ying Zhao who had arrived. At the same time, hundreds of screens appeared, and the participants in the trial were being broadcast live.
"So? Interested in guessing who will emerge victorious from the trials? Ten to one." Yingzhao's voice rang out.
"Well, Lord Yingzhao, I want to talk to you about something!" Chen Yang said hesitantly, even though he did intend to poach customers who hadn't chosen Yingzhao.
After all, wealth is often found in risky ventures; to gain profit, one always needs to take some risks.
"Just tell me what's wrong," Yingzhao said nonchalantly.
"Well, Lord Yingzhao, you were promoting the Love-Drinking Gourd to someone last time, right? Do you think I could do this? I'd like to do it too." Chen Yang finally said it.
"Do whatever you want. Do you have to report to me about what you want to do?" Yingzhao said speechlessly.
"I plan to price it at 45,000, which is a bit cheaper than yours. If you're not satisfied, I can choose not to buy it, or we can cooperate and split the profits 30/70," Chen Yang said.
"What do you take me for? I'm not a robber. I don't accept rewards without merit," Yingzhao said.
"So, according to you, you're allowing me to resell the Soul-Gathering Gourd?" Chen Yang was excited and even somewhat incredulous. This Lord Yingzhao was too easy to talk to. No wonder he was a divine beast; he was too generous.
"If you really feel bad about it, invest some money in this for me!" Yingzhao pointed to the crowd of people undergoing trials on the screen.
"Of course! Of course! I'll bet a hundred emotion crystals!" Chen Yang said excitedly, taking out emotion crystals and handing them over, then randomly pointing to someone, "I'll bet on him."
