Chapter 87 - 87 I'm Definitely Befriending You!
87 I’m Definitely Befriending You!
Wang Xiao did not know what Xu Junrou and Yi Han were thinking, but he did not easily come to a conclusion.
Firstly, they had long discussed a countermeasure. After the accident, the two of them would immediately leave. Although it was a little unreasonable, it was also a part of the plan.
Secondly, Wang Xiao had accidentally dropped his key. Even he did not expect it. It was naturally impossible for Xu Junrou and the others to know.
Taking a deep breath and calming himself down, Wang Xiao sized up the surrounding [Man-eating Tree Demons] that seemed to be afraid. “What did you do? Why do these [Man-eating Tree Demons] not seem to dare to approach?”
“We sprinkled some mutated beast bone powder. It’s ground from the bones of high-level mutated beasts and can make low-level mutated beasts afraid.”
The leader of the hunters explained softly, as if he felt that it was not appropriate to say this in front of the beast tamer lord.
Fortunately, Wang Xiao did not care. He looked at the time and realized that there were still a few minutes left. He could not be bothered to continue. With a thought, he transformed into He Dazhi and sat on the ground to wait for the time to run out.
After waiting for a while, Wang Xiao felt bored and casually asked, “As secret realm hunters, you should know a lot of resources, right? Have you heard of the [Sacred Beast Heart]?”
“Of course I know. Isn’t it the spore sac of the [Man-eating Tree Demon]?”
The leader of the hunters nodded without thinking and said, “This is the legend of the Western Tomb Region. It’s said that this thing can increase the success rate of beast type soldiers.”
Seeing that the other party knew, Wang Xiao was immediately interested. “In that case, has anyone succeeded before?”
“I don’t think so. Anyway, I’ve never heard of it.”
The leader of the hunters shook his head and suddenly thought of something. “Mr. Wang, did you enter the [Mist Rainforest] for the [Sacred Beast Heart]?”
“I just heard someone mention it and asked casually.”
Wang Xiao casually brushed it off because the other party’s attitude suddenly made him feel that this legend was somewhat exaggerated.
At that time, Wang Xiao was infected by Xu Junrou and the others’ emotions and did not think about it carefully. However, now that he calmed down and thought about it carefully, if there was really such a magical thing, why had he never heard anything about it?
The leader of the hunters did not know what Wang Xiao was thinking. Seeing him deny it, he chuckled and said, “Actually, if you want the [Sacred Beast Heart], you can place an order for it from us. We can give you a discount. You can just give us 1,000 star coins for each Sacred Beast Heart!”
“So cheap?”
Wang Xiao was a little shocked when he heard this price. He did not expect the materials that could only be obtained from such danger to actually only cost 1,000 star coins!
However, on second thought, these people knew how to use the mutated beast bone powder to restrain the [Man-eating Tree Demon]. They should also have a safer way to collect it. In any case, their method would definitely not be as dangerous.
As they chatted, the few of them reached the end of their time in the secret realm. After a white light flashed, the few of them returned to the trading market.
Hearing the commotion around him, Wang Xiao opened the interface and checked his gains: 18 [Sacred Beast Hearts].
“I still have to give half to Yi Han… What a loss!”
Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and put away the interface. When he looked up again, he saw Xu Junrou and Yi Han not far away. He was slightly stunned before walking over.
At the same time, the two of them also saw Wang Xiao disguised as He Dazhi and immediately revealed an awkward expression.
“Idol…”
Yi Han opened his mouth with a complicated expression. Beside him, Xu Junrou suddenly bowed deeply. “I’m sorry! It’s our fault for not saving you. I forced Yi Han to come out. If you want to blame someone, blame me!”
Wang Xiao sneered. “Didn’t we agree to leave immediately if an accident happened? What’s there to blame?”
Xu Junrou wanted to say something, but Wang Xiao had already opened the interface and placed the nine [Sacred Beast Hearts] into the trading column. “I’ve collected a total of 18. I’ll keep half and give the rest to you.”
When Yi Han heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand. “No, no! You got this by risking your life. I can’t take it!”
“It’s only a [Man-eating Tree Demon]. It’s not enough for me to risk my life for it…”
Wang Xiao rolled his eyes angrily. Then, he pulled a long face and pretended to be angry. “Just take it! Don’t talk nonsense!”
“In that case…”
Yi Han asked softly with a guilty conscience, “Then can you give me one more? I need ten to advance my soldier… I can pay!”
Hearing the word “pay”, Wang Xiao’s eyes flickered and he quickly calculated in his heart.
His exotic beasts didn’t need to advance for the time being. Moreover, even the lowest gold-quality exotic beasts needed 15 [Saint Beast Hearts] to advance. However, he only had 9 left.
Since it was no longer enough, it was better to exchange for some resources. He could also borrow Yi Han’s [Lava Ripper] to experiment and see if this advancement method could succeed.
If it was really useful, at most, he would find someone to collect it in the future. In any case, 1,000 star coins per heart was not considered expensive.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao directly opened the interface. “I can give you all nine, but how much do you plan to pay?”
Yi Han turned around and looked at Xu Junrou. Then, he stretched out five fingers tentatively. “5,000 star coins?”
“How much?!”
Wang Xiao exclaimed. It had to be known that even if it was a secret realm hunter he did not know, it would only cost 2,000 star coins each. He really did not expect Yi Han to be a fool with a lot of money.
“I’m definitely going to be friends with him!”
Wang Xiao thought to himself.
Yi Han did not know what Wang Xiao was thinking. Seeing his reaction, he thought that he had given him a low price. “Then 7,000… No! How about 10,000 star coins per heart?”
“Well…”
Wang Xiao’s face revealed some hesitation, but in the end, he nodded reluctantly. “Alright.”
“Thank you, idol!”
Yi Han cheered. Before Wang Xiao could put the [Sacred Beast Heart] into the trading column, the 90,000 star coins had already been transferred.
Seeing the sincere joy on Yi Han’s face, Wang Xiao suddenly felt a little apologetic.
After transferring the nine [Sacred Beast Hearts] to Yi Han, Wang Xiao deliberated for a moment and probed, “It’s so dangerous to collect [Sacred Beast Hearts]. Why don’t you ask the secret realm hunters for help?”
“I did, but I was scammed.”
At the side, Xu Junrou said helplessly, “The [Sacred Beast Heart] they collected is not completely mature. We can’t use it at all!”
“I see.”
Wang Xiao nodded in realization. There were indeed some secret realm hunters who would do such a thing. The three of them probably would not. After all, the relationship between them was not only about money.
However, even so, Wang Xiao did not plan to introduce them to Yi Han.
Firstly, it was not easy to encounter a stupid and rich client like Yi Han. Wang Xiao really did not want to let him off easily. At most, he would just earn less from Yi Han in the future.
Secondly—and also the most important reason, as Wang Xiao’s lord core continued to level up, he would need a lot of resources in the future.
It was safer to keep such useful and reliable secret realm hunters all to himself.
