"My God!"
Stone was so frightened that tears were almost welling up in his eyes.
"Distinguished guests... no, gentlemen, we can't burn it! If you burn it all, what am I supposed to sell?"
"Ahem, this little guy is just joking."
Jiang Mu quickly explained.
"We only need a small sample."
"Samples? Alright, let's do as the men say..."
Although he was still somewhat reluctant, Shi Tou knew that he had met an expert today, so he pretended to be reluctant.
"Don't worry, I understand the rules of the business world. As long as it proves to be a good mine, I will definitely not disappoint you in terms of compensation."
Zhongli said earnestly.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
………………
Soon, Shi Tou took samples from all three Nocturnal Stones and labeled them with their respective serial numbers.
"These stones...are so thin..."
Ying looked at it and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Thinner than paper... no, thinner than an insect's wing, so thin it's almost transparent!"
"The owner's skills are truly admirable..."
Jiang Mu looked at the smiling Shi Tou, cupped his hands in respect, and said, "I admire you."
"Ahem... Hahaha... You flatter me..." Shi Tou cupped his hands and said.
"These stones are all my precious treasures, I can't be anything but gentle with them..."
"Never mind..."
Jiang Mu stopped Paimon, who wanted to go up and argue, and said with a light laugh.
"These businessmen are really cunning; you can't argue with them."
"Hey! What do you mean by that, sir? All customers come and go, and it's all thanks to my silver tongue. If I encounter an unreasonable customer, I can't resort to violence. If I weren't good with my words, I wouldn't be able to keep my business running."
Upon hearing Jiang Mu's assessment of him, Shi Tou became displeased and took a few steps forward, wanting to argue with the others.
"Believe it or not, if you keep talking, I'll make sure you never get to eat any food produced by Jiang's Farm for the rest of your life."
Jiang Mu said coldly.
"Heh, you've got some guts, kid..."
Although he didn't know if the kid was telling the truth, just in case, Stone chose to avoid the limelight for the time being, and grumbled with a long face.
"Hurry up and try it. If you're not going to buy, then get out of here and don't interfere with my business."
The next moment, Stone's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Jiang Mu summoned fire and water elemental forces with both hands, and then threw the three "samples" into them right in front of him.
After some experimentation, the group finally discovered that sample number three shone the brightest.
"Then, we'll choose this one."
"Fine, fine, this is really bad luck..."
Stone waved his hand, his face full of impatience.
"One box of the third type, please."
Zhongli said calmly.
"this……"
Upon hearing this, Shi Tou was stunned. He stood there with his mouth agape, seemingly wanting to say something to ease the tension, but in the end, he gave up.
It's obvious that with his condescending attitude just now, it's absurd to expect the others to have a good impression of him again!
After taking the box of night-blooming stones, everyone turned and left.
"Ugh, my foul mouth!"
Standing there, watching the figures of the group gradually disappear into the distance, Shi Tou finally couldn't hold back and slapped himself.
"Smack!"
A crisp sound echoed through the somewhat deserted street, carrying a strong sense of irony, before finally dissipating...
………………
"Hey, Jiang Mu."
The group continued walking when suddenly, Paimon said to Jiang Mu.
"What are you planning to do with that annoying guy from earlier?"
"oh?"
Seeing Paimon's somewhat worried expression, Jiang Mu smiled and said.
"Paymon, tell me, what should I do with him?"
"Hmm...Paimon doesn't know..."
"hehe……"
Jiang Mu gently patted Paimon's little head and said.
"Don't worry, I was just disgusted by him and turned around to disgust him back. I'm not a bad person."
only……
Jiang Mu thought to himself.
"If someone is foolish enough to mess with me, I won't hesitate to send them to their death..."
"That's good." Hearing this, Paimon breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Mu with a grin.
"I knew I was right."
………………
"Next, we'll send these tools to Yujingtai, where I've reserved a space."
Zhongli said calmly.
"good!"
………………
"Just place the Night-Stabilite here. I've already sent someone to find a professional jeweler to craft it into the tools we need."
“Oh, right,” Zhongli said suddenly, as if remembering something.
"In such a short time, I haven't even gone to see Mr. D'Artagnan yet, and the money for hiring the jeweler..."
"Let the young master pay for it in advance..."
Jiang Mu suppressed a laugh and said.
"It seems this is the only way..."
Upon hearing this, Zhongli sighed and said.
"I really owe Mr. D'Artagnan too much this time. It seems I'll have to find him again for a sparring match as compensation..."
"Hey, are you sure this isn't repaying kindness with enmity?"
Jiang Mu inwardly grumbled, but when he thought of Dadalia's obsessive way of fighting, he felt relieved...
"Hmm, this could be considered a vicious cycle... oops, I mean a virtuous cycle..."
