Qi Xin was anxious and shouted at the shopkeeper. Seeing Ning Ning nodded slightly, the shopkeeper said to him, "These materials were originally consigned to us by others. Of course, we have to keep a clear account for them to see."

"Consignment?! He, he has so much material? How much money can he make?"

Ning Ning smiled, "I can't make much money, but your business will be enough for me to open a new store. Oh, I already have the two stores on the corner, and I see you guys bought a lot, thank you for your patronage."

The two stores on the corner are newly opened. The storefronts are not very big, but “small but complete”. The materials sold inside are urgently needed to subdue the strange beasts.

When buying things just now, Qi Xin thought to himself that the owner of the store was quite good at doing business, but he didn't expect it to be Ning Ning!

His eyes were red with anger. "You? How do you have so much money?"

Isn’t it said that Ning Ning was born in poverty?

Ning Ning spread her hands, "I don't need to explain to you!"

Qi Xin choked, turned around and saw the shopkeeper standing nearby, and immediately became even more angry.

"What? Have the NPCs evolved to the point where they can cheat together with the players? I'm going to complain to the administrators about you!"

The shopkeeper looked innocent and said, "What are you talking about? We are a honest shop. We have never lied to you since you came in. How could I lie to you?"

Qi Xin pointed at Ning Ning and said, "How dare you quibble! Didn't you collude with him just now and pretend that he was the buyer?"

If it wasn't for the sake of fighting, why would he spend so much money!

"You misunderstood. They put their stuff here for consignment and agreed with me that I could slightly adjust the price. So when they came, of course I had to explain to them how the stuff was selling and at what price. I never said he was a customer! If you don't believe me, think about it, isn't that the case?"

Oh, when I think about it carefully, it is true!

He just took it for granted that Ning Ning came to buy something, and also took it for granted that Ning Ning must be short of money, so he wanted to humiliate Ning severely, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face in return!

"You, you—"

If he could release the rage in his heart, he would burn the entire market town down!

But he couldn't do that. The game stipulated that no violence was allowed in the market. Besides, he was not in the right. The players at the door were already pointing fingers. If he got angry and started fighting again, he would never be able to stay in the game again.

Therefore, he could only swallow his anger, stood up, snorted coldly at Ning Ning and the shopkeeper, and forced himself to walk out with his head held high, maintaining his final demeanor.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried to save his face, the players would not let him go. They started to mock him in the world channel and posted a picture of his bruised face, saying that this was a ready-made "slap in the face".

Qi Xin was so angry that he couldn't help but get angry at Zhang Xiaoyu.

Zhang Xiaoyu also felt aggrieved and kept defending herself, saying that she and Ning Ning had not been together for a long time and that he had told her about Ning Ning's family background himself, so she didn't seem to be lying!

Seeing Zhang Xiaoyu's ashamed and angry expression, Qi Xin had an idea. If, when he was trying to steal the bride, Zhang Xiaoyu knew that Ning Ning was wealthy and could immediately take in the Phoenix King as her spiritual pet, would she still go with him?

No, how could he think like that!

It’s not the first day that he and Zhang Xiaoyu have known each other. Although Zhang Xiaoyu is competitive, she is definitely a good person. He must believe in his own judgment!

Shaking his head to put aside all distracting thoughts, Wanchun also found out the news.

"Ning Ning did indeed hoard the materials. He guessed that everyone wanted to subdue the strange beasts, and he always went to the market, so he knew the prices of various materials. He hoarded the materials in advance, and when the prices went up, he released them little by little. Everyone said that he made a lot of money and opened several shops in the market. He has been busy with these things these days. He is really good at hiding things!"

Zhang Xiaoyu clenched her fists tightly. "How could he have the money to stockpile materials?"

Wan Chun, "I heard that he sold Phoenix King feathers for money. The material was not that expensive at that time, and Phoenix King was almost bald because of him during that period. No wonder Phoenix King didn't show up for a long time after the battle in Kongye Valley. I don't know why Phoenix King wanted him to be so loyal to him. Ning Ning is really cunning, but she is also quite smart..."

The more she spoke, the smaller her voice became. Zhang Xiaoyu said bitterly, "The Phoenix King is an NPC after all. Even if he has evolved, he is not that smart. Otherwise, he would not have chosen Ning Ning from the beginning!"

Wan Chun, "That's right, of course I won't choose him, who the hell is Ning Ning!"

The more she said this, the more Zhang Xiaoyu could hear her guilty conscience, and the more depressed and regretful she felt!

If only she hadn't looked down on Ning Ning so much.

Even if she didn't choose Ning Ning, she shouldn't offend him!

It is not a good thing to make such a strong enemy in the game!

But as she thought about it, her regret gradually disappeared and her mood calmed down.

Of course, she didn't know that she was being taken advantage of by Ning Ning, and she thought she was of strong character.

"Let's not talk about the past. Let's tame the strange beasts as spiritual pets as soon as possible. Ah Xin, which strange beast do you think we should attack?"

"Why not, let's go with the Sky-Swallowing Python. It's very powerful. If our guild takes it in, our strength will definitely increase greatly."

Moreover, the lost face can be regained!

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded, "Then let's use the bounty to recruit more experts."

Last time, they sent out all their elite troops, but were killed in pieces. Even though they have sufficient materials this time, they still need to find more helpers.

Qi Xin gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's do it."

A big reward will always bring courage, so when Ning Ning was checking the account, a system message came from the world channel, "Player Qi Xin has tamed the Sky-Swallowing Python as a spiritual pet. Congratulations to player Qi Xin."

Then there was a burst of flowers.

The players were talking about it, "Wow, it's the Sky Devouring Python! It's also a BOSS level, no worse than the Phoenix King!"

"Qi Xin is already the best master, and now he has a top-level pet, which is like adding wings to a tiger!"

"No, I'm going to ask around and see how I can join their guild. They eat meat, so let's have some soup too!"

"As expected of Master Qi Xin, he gets up from where he fell. He is much better than someone who only relies on luck!"

"Some people have top-level pets but don't know how to use them, so they just open a shop. What a waste of good resources!"

Ning Ning didn't care what they said.

In addition to maintaining the normal turnover of the store, he exchanged the remaining game coins for money and saved it so that he could use it to live when his original body returned.

The original body was too socially anxious and didn't like interacting with people in the game, so the income was not much.

He might as well earn more savings for the original body, and let NPCs manage the shop. When the original body comes back, he doesn't have to run the business himself, but can help pave the way for him. His main goal is to pamper the original body without any negotiation.
