Chapter 53 Bartering! Another Elemental Spirit!
Chapter 53 Bartering! Another Elemental Spirit!
"What did you say?!"
Zhao Lingyun could hardly believe her ears.
Not only him, but the other people also showed no less shock on their faces.
Although they hadn't received prior notice, they could still glean the general idea from Zhao Lingyun's words.
A mutated S-rank beast pet, and a top-tier one at that, a gold elemental spirit.
They actually gave it to Su Lin for free?!
When did Xingyue Trading Company start doing charity?
Or……
In the eyes of the Star Moon Trading Company, Su Lin's status had reached an unbelievable level; he could even casually give away a gold elemental spirit worth hundreds of millions!
"My sister is right, this elemental spirit was prepared for Brother Lin. Zhao Lingyun, you should choose something else."
Jiang Feng spoke again to confirm, letting everyone know that they were not hallucinating!
"Why?!"
Zhao Lingyun found it unacceptable and couldn't help but loudly question, "How can you just give away a beast pet of this level like that? This is against the rules!"
"Because of Brother Lin..."
"There's no reason why. This is my father's decision, and there's no need to discuss it with your Zhao family, is there?"
Jiang Feng wanted to explain further, but Jiang Yuyao interrupted him domineeringly.
"..."
Zhao Lingyun fell silent.
He was too anxious just now, and even said something like "unfair".
As a scion of a prominent family, he knew better than anyone that fairness in this world is relative and there will never be absolute fairness.
Elemental spirits were indeed the pets he wanted most, but it was the Star Moon Trading Company's right to give them to whomever they wanted.
He had no reason to stop this.
But is it really okay to just stand by and watch someone else take away the pet that best suits me?
Zhao Lingyun was unwilling to accept this!
Swish!
He fixed his gaze on Su Lin, a hint of struggle gradually emerging on his face.
It seems they are considering how to approach Su Lin to persuade him to transfer the shares.
"Not for sale, no matter the price."
Seeing how troubled he was, Su Lin decided to stop him from agonizing over it and spoke first, thus ending his hopes.
"..."
Zhao Lingyun became even more anxious.
But he wasn't stupid; he knew he absolutely couldn't offend Su Lin now, so he suppressed all his previous thoughts and patiently spoke in a gentle tone:
"Su Lin, everything has a price. It's not that I want to take what others love, it's just that this pet is too important to me. So, name your price, as long as it's not too outrageous, I'll definitely accept it without hesitation, okay?"
Since it was impossible to get through to Jiang Yuyao, Zhao Lingyun could only try to persuade Su Lin.
No one else present said anything about this.
Even Jiang Feng and Jiang Yuyao were speechless.
After all, the items had already been sent out, and how to handle them was Su Lin's business; they couldn't interfere.
But we can still remind you when necessary.
"Brother Lin, this beast is no ordinary pet. Even if you really want to sell it, think carefully before you name your price. If you only offer one or two hundred million, people will think the Zhao family lacks power!"
Jiang Feng's words made Zhao Lingyun's face turn somewhat green.
But he couldn't care less about anything at the moment, and said seriously, "Don't worry, as long as Su Lin is willing, my Zhao family will definitely not let you suffer any losses."
"So confident?"
Jiang Feng was somewhat surprised.
Zhao Lingyun felt it was time to show his strength, otherwise how could he win Su Lin's heart?
So he simply revealed the secret:
"I won't hide it from you all. Our Zhao family has made thorough preparations for this elemental spirit, even gathering all the materials needed for its second mutation. That's why I said we're determined to get it today!"
"Su Lin, to be honest, you're just an E-rank Beastmaster. Even if you get your hands on this beast pet, you won't be able to use it. In the end, you'll just have to sell it."
"Since you're selling anyway, why go through all that trouble? Just give it to me directly, and I'll give you the highest price. Consider it doing me and the Zhao family a favor. In the future, if you have any problems you can't handle, I'll help you solve them!"
Su Lin had to admit that Zhao Lingyun's words were quite insightful.
First, they demonstrated their determination, then offered substantial benefits, and finally showcased the Zhao family's strength, which could even be interpreted as a threat.
After all, selling to him would be a favor, while not selling to him would be going against the entire Zhao family.
Most people would have been intimidated by his series of moves.
But who is Su Lin?
He didn't care about the Zhao or Cui families.
They also scoffed at Zhao Lingyun's so-called "crowd."
I'm not bragging, nor am I being arrogant, but you, Zhao Lingyun, aren't as awesome as me right now. Even if I encounter problems in the future, do you think you can solve them?
Not to mention Su Lin, even Jiang Yuyao and Jiang Feng, who were standing to the side, had strange expressions when they heard Zhao Lingyun's words, and almost burst out laughing.
However, Su Lin was quite interested in what Zhao Lingyun had said about the second mutation.
"Secondary mutation?"
Beside him, the shield warrior Wang Long, who hadn't said much, was also taken aback:
"Brother Zhao, your Zhao family has actually collected such treasures? Materials that can mutate S-rank beast pets are incredibly valuable!"
"It's not just valuable, it's almost as valuable as an S-rank beast pet, and even slightly more valuable!"
"Wow, that's quite an investment. Since the Zhao family has made such thorough preparations, why didn't they reserve this elemental spirit from Chairman Jiang beforehand?"
As soon as he spoke, the others chimed in.
"..."
Zhao Lingyun glared at Liu Sen, the wood-elemental mage who asked the last question, and cursed inwardly, "Why did you have to bring up something you didn't want to talk about?"
Ever since they learned that Jiang Yunbin had this treasure, the Zhao family has been negotiating non-stop, but Jiang Yunbin simply won't budge!
They had always said it was for their son, so what could the Zhao family do with that reason?
Grit your teeth!
Zhao Lingyun played his trump card: "Su Lin, how about this? I'll not only buy your pet, but I can also give you a fire elemental spirit. What do you say?!"
"What?!"
Everyone was immediately shocked by these words.
No one expected that the Zhao family would have a fire elemental spirit!
This was hidden so well!
Especially Jiang Feng, who was laughing and joking just now, his eyes lit up when he heard this!
As the only fire mage in the entire arena, Zhao Lingyun desired a fire elemental spirit just as much as he desired the gold elemental spirit!
Moreover, strictly speaking, the bonuses provided by elf-type pets to mages are definitely greater than those to warriors!
"Zhao Lingyun, are you serious?!"
Before Su Lin could even speak, Jiang Feng had already lost his composure.
"Absolutely true!"
Zhao Lingyun replied without hesitation, "Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to hide."
"Actually, even though we knew that this gold elemental beast was prepared for you by Uncle Jiang, our Zhao family has never given up trying. After all, the gold element is not suitable for you."
"The best way for me to obtain this spirit is naturally to find you a fire elemental spirit, and then we can exchange them—a mutually beneficial arrangement!"
"Persistence pays off. After spending a great deal of effort, we finally found information about the fire elemental spirit beast pet just half a month ago."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng's face turned green.
"Damn, why didn't you tell me about this sooner?!"
