Chapter 1019: Overlord Lu Li, it seems like she is playing tricks on you!
"Well, you don't have any?"
Illya's four eyes curved into crescents, and the corners of her mouth lifted high, revealing the trademark smile of a profiteer:
"If you don't have it, I have it here!"
"The price is fair, no cheating!"
“Haha, he’s just treating the three of us like fat sheep to be slaughtered, he’s opening his mouth like a lion…” Lu Li complained in his heart.
Facing Illya's expectant gaze, he coughed lightly and replied calmly:
"We still have the airship."
"You think so?"
Sun Minjie and Austin were stunned, and their eyes turned from Illya's face to Lu Li, their expressions becoming more and more surprised:
“Is there… this?”
That's a perfect quality airship!
Lu Li glanced at Sun Minjie and Austin, and emphasized calmly and firmly:
"some."
Sun Minjie first showed an expression of "I'm poor and I don't have anything anyway" on his face, but then a flash of enlightenment flashed in his eyes. He looked at Austin in surprise and murmured with emotion:
"I can't believe you have such a rich family background, kid?"
"Ah?" Austin was confused, his ferocious werewolf face was almost turned into a husky.
He opened and closed his mouth twice, turned to look at Lu Li, and said with great embarrassment:
"Overlord Lu Li, I really don't have this..."
"I mean I have..." Lu Li pulled the corner of his mouth and found that people would really laugh when they were speechless.
It seems that Austin was exploited too harshly before.
This guy has PTSD...
"Oh, so it's you who has..." Austin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, I think this should be enough." As he spoke, Lu Li took out the bronze coffin he had bought with reimbursement from his space ring.
Because it is just for display, it is not completely enlarged to normal size, but only presented as a palm-sized model.
Looking at the small bronze coffin floating in the air, Austin and Sun Minjie exclaimed in unison:
"Epic quality?!"
"Well, I think it should be enough to ensure our safety in the unexplored areas." Lu Li nodded slightly, his expression calm.
Illya pursed her lips and muttered with a clearly unhappy expression:
"What a shame! I thought I could make a lot of money..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Li, who had strong mental strength, couldn't help but twitch his mouth again.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw the woman's expression froze, and then she became visibly happy.
"Overlord Lu Li, your means of transportation is incomplete."
“Yes… we are missing nine dragons. They were all destroyed in the belly of the Star-Eating Leviathan…” Lu Li responded weakly.
Nodding slightly on the surface:
"Yes, we lack a power source for traction."
"I don't know if you have any matching stuff here."
"Yes, of course!" Illya smiled brightly and quickly introduced Lu Li:
"Based on the shape of your coffin, no, flying prop, I happen to have a kind of space creature that can serve as a traction power source!"
“Please look!!”
As she spoke, the 'First Young Lady of the Merchant Group' pulled out a pet ball from somewhere and released the creature inside.
With a loud 'puff' sound, a large shadow spread out from above everyone's heads.
Lu Li, Austin, and Sun Minjie looked up at the sky.
A star creature that was shaped like an olive, about the size of a truck, and looked 70% similar to a manatee was seen floating in the air.
The mini fins, which are totally disproportionate to its body size, paddle slowly and steadily, giving off a reassuring feeling and making it look very docile.
"This is a brand new species that Mo Xing brought back from an unexplored area a while ago. It's called 'Jet Manatee' on the data panel!"
"Don't be fooled by its lazy and slow appearance now. When it moves at full speed, it can catch up with the Shadow Barracuda!"
"When Mo Xing caught it, he saw it hunting among the fish and swallowing several of them!"
"Hey, I always tell Mo Xing to take a break and not to venture into those undiscovered dangerous areas, but he just won't listen..."
After Illya finished her introduction, she kept shaking her head, looking like she really couldn't do anything about Mo Xing.
"A brand new breed? Hiss... is this reliable?" Austin stroked the gray hair on his chin, looking suspicious.
"Could there be any unidentified, difficult-to-control side effects?"
"You jet-jet manatee, is the bag useful?"
Illya heard this, put her hands on her hips, and responded angrily: "I opened a business, how can I sell you useless things?"
Austin's eyes became sharp and he repeated:
"Let me ask you, is this jet manatee bag useful?"
"Okay, okay, Overlord Lu Li hasn't said anything, why are you so angry?" Sun Minjie saw that the atmosphere was not right and hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
At the same time, he whispered in Austin's ear:
"You're trying too hard and overacting, big brother!"
Lu Li resisted the urge to hold his forehead and asked for the price:
"How to sell it?"
"A jet manatee and an invitation to the Abyss!" Illya answered without even thinking:
"Of course, if you don't have it, you can also exchange it with other items of equal value or refined gold, provided that it is calculated at 1.2 times the value of the Abyss Invitation Letter."
It actually specified that it must be exchanged for an invitation to the Abyss?
Lu Li raised his eyebrows and had more guesses in his mind.
Showing some intention to bargain, he continued to ask:
"What if I want nine? Can you make it cheaper?"
"If you pack nine of them at once, I'll give you fifteen invitations to the Abyss for a discount!"
Lu Li was stunned.
Austin and Sun Minjie counted on their fingers for a long time.
A jet-jet manatee, an invitation to the abyss.
Nine Jet Manatees, that's a bargain, fifteen invitations to the Abyss?!
This math-crazy troll taught?
"Overlord Lu Li, it seems like she is playing a trick on you!"
Austin blinked and yelled.
"Are you sure you didn't calculate it wrong?" Lu Li frowned.
He could understand that traveling traders led dangerous lives with their heads on their belts every day and sold goods at a premium.
But it was a bit too much to treat him like a fool so obviously.
Could it be that he was deliberately trying to ruin the relationship and force him and Mo Xing to fight?
"That's right. Nine Jet Manatees. I'll give you a bargain. Fifteen invitations to the Abyss." Illya answered with absolute certainty.
"Because there are nine of them, they form a family of manatees, which doubles their speed."
"So if you want to buy more, nine jet manatees will equal fifteen invitations to the Abyss."
Austin and Sun Minjie opened their mouths, but for a moment they couldn't think of the right words to refute.
Lu Li really wanted to ask Illya what the price would be if he bought them in two batches, eight at a time and one at a time.
But two seconds later, he changed his mind.
never mind,
The less trouble, the better.
The store is opened by someone else, so they can set the prices however they want.
The most urgent task is to find Mo Xing as soon as possible.
