Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 74: The Sixth Shopkeeper, the Avant-garde Youth

Li Yu followed Lao Luo as he wandered around this huge magic supermarket, where all kinds of magic tools with South China Sea characteristics were sold.

Li Yu saw a pair of magic shoes in a magic tool store. It was in the shape of a boat and seemed to allow the user to travel quickly on the sea for a short period of time. According to the store owner, the sales of this pair of magic shoes seemed to be good, with five or six pieces sold every month, which was quite impressive for a luxury item like this.

In addition to special magic tools, there are also many siren eggs for sale. However, since the combat effectiveness of sirens is greatly restricted by the terrain, most of those willing to buy them are local magicians.

Moreover, as a large ocean city, another major feature of Sansha is the wholesale sale of water resources. Water magic stones are just ordinary. Li Yu also saw fragments of water spirit seeds. One store even has a water element crystal! However, this seems to be a rare item at the level of a treasure of the town. The price of tens of millions has made this water element crystal have no buyers.

In addition to the various magical resources that basically serve the wizards, there are also many monster restaurants that ordinary people can enjoy. Many restaurants have a variety of signs in front of them, and the main dishes are made from all kinds of sea monsters. Li Yu tasted a lot of them at Lao Luo's invitation. The taste was indeed good, and both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal.

Then, this good mood only lasted until the afternoon. Li Yu, accompanied by Lao Luo, bargained with the owner of the magic tool shop. He took a fancy to a batch of water-type ores whose water magic energy concentration was much higher than that of magic ore. The quantity was small and the price was not expensive, only a few hundred thousand. But even if it was a few hundred thousand, Li Yu and Lao Luo wanted to save as much as possible.

"Boss, this is too much. Other companies would charge at most 200,000 yuan for this batch of aquamarine. It's not good to double the price all at once!"

Lao Luo's tone was not very friendly, and coupled with his intimidating scarred face, those who knew him would think he was arguing and bargaining, while those who didn't would just think he was a local gangster collecting protection fees from merchants.

Unlike Lao Luo who spoke in a bad tone, Li Yu played the good guy on the side.

"Boss, your aquamarine is indeed of good quality, but it's not much higher than other stores, and the price is twice as high. It's not suitable after all."

"How about a discount, 250,000?"

What Li Yu and the others didn't expect was that the shop owner was quite tough and spoke in a very tough tone.
"Do you think I'm a fool?"

"That's right. The quality of this batch of aquamarine is only slightly higher, but this little bit cannot be compensated by other means. This kind of aquamarine is an excellent material for setting up water magic arrays. Even if I don't sell it to you, there will still be people rushing to buy it."

"Hurry up, buy if you want, leave if you don't want, and you're still trying to bargain!

Why don't you go to this street and ask around to find out when I, Lao Liu, have ever cheated anyone in business, and who could cheat me! "

Li Yu and Lao Luo: We are despised!
The boss was right. This kind of aquamarine was indeed an excellent material for setting up some water-based magic arrays. It could not be replaced by any amount of aquamarine of slightly inferior quality. Li Yu only knew this because he had been studying magic arrays recently. When he passed by the shop and saw the boss casually placing it at the entrance, he thought he didn't know the value of the material. Unexpectedly, he met a professional.

"Okay, 400,000, I'll buy it..."

At this point, Li Yu was too lazy to waste time and took out his phone to check out and get the goods. Suddenly, an uninvited guest rushed in.
"Sixth Brother, I want the batch of aquamarine stones at your door."

As they were talking, a young man in his thirties walked into the store. He had blond hair, a frivolous smile, and walked with a swagger. Behind him were two little followers with red and green hair.

For the first time, Li Yu began to doubt his own aesthetic taste. After all, the traffic light trio was somewhat avant-garde.

"Hey! Isn't this Master Xi? Why did you decide to come to our store today?"

The old boss obviously didn't like this frivolous yellow-haired guy, and said in a sarcastic tone.

Huangmao didn't care and sat on the sofa in the store with a swagger, while his two younger brothers stood straight behind him.

Huang Mao was facing Lao Liu, Li Yu, and Lao Luo, and said with a smile:
"Everyone knows that Lao Liu's store has good stuff, so why not come and take a look around? And didn't I run into him today?"

"Hurry up and help me pack the aquamarine and send it to the Magic Association. You won't lose a penny."

Lao Liu did not respond, but said with deep emotion:

"With your ugly appearance, how could you be so lucky that Master Li would take a fancy to you?"

"Isn't this a teacher's wisdom in judging people?"

The yellow-haired man who was ridiculed by Lao Liu didn't care at all. He stood up and winked at the person next to him. When the younger brother was about to go forward to pay the bill, Lao Liu immediately stopped him and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry, that batch of aquamarine has already been taken."

"It has an owner? Who?" Huang Mao turned around with a little surprise, and followed Lao Liu's gaze to look at the two living people, Li Yu and Lao Luo, beside him.
"It's you!"

"My two friends, please give me a favor and sell the aquamarine to me. If you have any questions in the future, you can mention my name, Xi Liang."

Hearing the name "Xi Liang" next to him, Lao Luo's eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at the yellow-haired man calmly.

Li Yu wanted to laugh. He could only say that this brother was quite principled. He looked like a gangster and sounded like he had a powerful teacher. Under such circumstances, he actually just wanted him to transfer the aquamarine to him. It was not for nothing.

but……

"Sorry, not selling!"

Li Yu refused decisively. This batch of aquamarine was of such good quality that it was rare even in the Magic City. How could he give it up so easily?

"Not selling?" Huangmao glared when he heard Li Yu's refusal.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Isn't it Xi Liang? Is your name fake?" Li Yu said with a smile.

"Humph! I am Master Li's disciple! Do you know what this means?"

Finding that Li Yu was playing tricks on him, Xi Liang was angry at first, then he proudly reported his background.
Li Yu was too lazy to deal with this young man in his twenties or thirties whose mind was not yet mature, so he said directly:
"I don't know who Master Li is. I'm from out of town on business."

A second-generation rich kid who has not grown up came to him to show off his background. He said that his trip to Sansha was just a coincidence. If he has the ability, he can ask his backers to go to Mingzhu Academy to deal with him. Who is afraid of who?

The Black Church is in conflict. Too many lice won’t itch, so one more second-generation rich man doesn’t matter.

“You you you…” The little yellow-haired boy’s eyes widened and he spoke incoherently.

After Li Yu finished speaking, he didn't say anything else and turned around to pay the bill.

"Boss, please help me pack it and deliver it to this address."

Lao Liu was also happy to see the little yellow-haired boy get humiliated. His attitude towards Li Yu took a 180-degree turn compared to ten minutes ago. He said cheerfully:
"Okay, my guest, one hundred aquamarines, four hundred thousand for your honor."

Li Yu and Lao Luo were about to leave. Seeing this, the younger brother behind the little yellow-haired boy took the initiative to step forward and whispered:

"Brother Liang, what should we do?"

"Do you want……"

I made my suggestion carefully.

"Just robbed it?"

Hearing this, Xi Liang put on a mask of pain. How could he be so blind to accept such a little brother? He warned:

"Don't let me hear this kind of words in the future."

"Leave quickly."

The shop owner, Lao Liu, looked at the figures who left one after another, narrowed his experienced and shrewd eyes, and said with a look of regret:

"When will this kid grow up?"
