The price of the Blazing Sun Scripture stood out glaringly on the light-blue translucent display.
"What the hell was this guy raised on?" Shi Feng cursed aloud the moment he saw the price.
In fact, it wasn't only Shi Feng who would blow his top at that price. Anyone who saw it would react the same way—and not just with words; fists and feet would get involved too.
A thousand gold. No human on earth could stop this guy.
Shi Feng immediately checked the seller's name.
"So Handsome They Want to Kill Me."
When he saw this bizarre ID, all Shi Feng could do was stare in disbelief—just how full of himself could someone be?
Now he finally understood why the Blazing Sun Scripture had been listed at such an outrageous price.
But since he'd found the Blazing Sun Scripture, he couldn't just give up that easily. He sent a communication request to the player named "So Handsome They Want to Kill Me," hiding his own name so the other party wouldn't know who was calling.
After more than ten seconds, the person picked up.
"Who's this? What do you want with yours truly? Don't tell me you want me to carry you. If you're a pretty girl, I might consider giving you a boost." "So Handsome They Want to Kill Me" spoke with a voice dripping in narcissism and a sleazy, street-hustler sort of vibe.
Shi Feng was left completely speechless.
A pretty girl?
Carry you?
What kind of person was this?
Someone like this actually managed to get a Blazing Sun Scripture? Had the world really gone that far off the rails?
"Hey, say something, will you? You dead or something? Don't tell me you're a dude playing a girl—that's not my thing." "So Handsome They Want to Kill Me" suddenly tensed up.
"Hello. I noticed you're selling the Blazing Sun Scripture on the Auction House. I'm very interested in it and was wondering if you could sell it to me a bit cheaper?" Shi Feng figured he'd at least try.
"Oh, so you want to buy that thing? Sure!" "So Handsome They Want to Kill Me" grinned. "I'll lower the price a little. Nine hundred gold, how about that? Fair price, no scams, exclusive deal—you won't find better."
Hearing this asking price, Shi Feng simply smiled faintly and calmly named his own figure: "Twenty silver coins."
He didn't believe for a second that "So Handsome They Want to Kill Me" had any idea what the Blazing Sun Scripture was actually worth.
The Blazing Sun Scripture could only drop from humanoid creatures above level ten who used fire-attribute magic, and the drop rate was pretty low, which was why the selling price tended to be high. Most people wouldn't sell it—but certainly not for a sky-high price of a thousand gold. A thousand gold could buy a full epic-grade item. Who would waste that on a Blazing Sun Scripture?
"Hey, buddy, you're really not showing much good faith here. You were the one who contacted me, and this is the price you offer? Do you know who you're dealing with?" "So Handsome They Want to Kill Me" flashed a dazzling smile and declared with great pride, "Ever heard of Dark Star? A top-tier third-rate guild in White River City—just the name alone should be worth something. You should at least offer a hundred gold."
Dark Star guild was indeed one of the most powerful guilds in White River City.
But to Shi Feng—so what?
"One gold coin. If you don't want to sell, forget it." Shi Feng had roughly figured out that "So Handsome They Want to Kill Me" had pegged him for a sucker, assuming he desperately needed the Blazing Sun Scripture—which was why he'd dared to name such an outrageous price. Too bad he'd guessed wrong.
"You better think carefully. I'm the only one in all of White River City who has the Blazing Sun Scripture. You seem like an honest guy, so I'll give you a price that'll make me bleed—ten gold plus a hundred thousand Credit Points. If even that's not good enough for you, I'll just find someone else." "So Handsome They Want to Kill Me" declared with absolute confidence.
