At that moment, his mind went blank, and he couldn't recall any of the professional terms he used when he was in sales.

They could only stare intently at the numbers Ye Li was rapidly sending on the screen.

He didn't know when it started, but he found himself counting down along with the numbers.

"50"

Reading's lips trembled slightly as he instinctively uttered the number.

“49”

"..."

Time was still ticking away, and Redding could hear his own heartbeat clearly: "Master Ye, add two pieces of high-quality insect meat, a blueprint for a perfect-grade car explosion-proof window, and four more pieces of high-quality insect meat, and I'll sell it!"

Reading also wants to wait for a good price.

Unfortunately, this thing is not a hard currency after all.

Just as Ye Li said.

He's the only one in the trading market right now.

If someone wants to buy it, they have to pay a high price.

If others manage to unlock it later, its value will only decrease exponentially.

However, Ye Li seemed not to hear, his fingers rapidly tapping the keyboard as he continued counting down the time.

“45”

“44”

“43”

“42”

"..."

Each number seemed to carry an invisible pressure, weighing heavily on Reading's heart.

Reading felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly by a giant hand, beating faster and faster, even more nervous than when he was facing those hideous insects.

"30"

There is still half a day left.

Fine beads of sweat began to appear on Redding's forehead, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

"29"

"28"

"27"

"..."

“20”

"19"

"..."

Under Ye Li's pressure, Redding finally relented and sent a message: "For Ye Shen's sake, I'll sell it for three pieces. As long as Ye Shen can provide three pieces of insect meat, I'll sell it. This is the lowest price I can offer. My brothers in the caravan are still starving, and I have to think about them too."

After sending the message, Redding breathed a sigh of relief, while secretly praying that Ye Li would agree to the condition.

Upon seeing the message from Redding, Ye Li's lips curled into a faint smile. He stopped the countdown and quickly replied, "I'm not an unreasonable person, so I'll add another one for you!"

Seeing Ye Li agree, the mountain that had been weighing on Redding's heart finally lifted completely: "Thank you, God Ye!"

But just as he pressed the Enter key to send the message, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

He frowned, carefully considering all the details of the transaction. The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
