Chapter 2931: Money Talks
His skepticism was understandable due to the illogical circumstances . Why would anyone want to pay more unless they were crazy?
He looked as if he was afraid that the item wasn’t precious enough and needed to raise its value .
“Yes, I want it . ” Li Qiye was nonchalant about the price .
Jinning couldn’t speak anymore . Words were stuck in her throat . She thought that paying 100,000,000 was ridiculous for a wooden carving . Calling him an insane prodigal son wasn’t enough .
“Ah . ” The shopkeeper rubbed his palms together and said: “Sir, will, will you pay with cash or a different method?”
He was still unsure about this idiotic endeavor, thinking that Li Qiye was only messing around .
“Amitabha . ” The right child placed his palms together and said: “Words can’t be taken back just like splashed water . Benefactor, you named the price, it is time to pay up . ”
The monks didn’t believe that Li Qiye could actually pay this price so they wanted to humiliate him .
“Only spare change so I don’t normally carry it with me . ” Li Qiye said .
Everyone exchanged glances after hearing this ridiculous statement .
“Benefactor, 100,000,000 is not 300,000 and definitely not one or two stones . Watch your words . ” The left monk raised his voice towards the end .
They were waiting for Li Qiye to be unable to produce this sum . Thus, they could make fun of him on top of buying the carving for the original price .
“Is there a difference? 100,000,000 is still the same as one or two, just a tiny number . ” Li Qiye looked at them and said .
The two monks didn’t know what to say; their face started turning red .
There was something about Li Qiye’s appearance that infuriated others .
Spending 1,000,000 to buy this carving would hurt these two monks . On the other hand, 100,000,000 didn’t sound like much for Li Qiye and couldn’t even be considered pocket change . It was as if he was just buying some fried dough bread on the street .
“Sir, so how, how will you pay?” The shopkeeper calmed down after witnessing Li Qiye’s crazy statement .
Li Qiye glanced at the shopkeeper and said: “I have this pearl or something, it’s not much . Take it . ”
He then took out a wooden box and threw it at the shopkeeper .
The shopkeeper caught and opened it . A brilliance from within nearly blinded him .
The two monks didn’t get to see the item before the shopkeeper hastily closed it .
His chest heaved up and down, frightened . He slightly pushed up the top again for another glance before closing it instantly .
“Is that enough?” Li Qiye waved his carving and said: “What’s your appraisal?”
“It’s enough, no, more than enough . We, we’ll get you the remaining surplus . ” The shopkeeper hurriedly added .
“No need for that, if it’s not enough then I’ll add more . ” Li Qiye replied, seemingly wanting to spend more .
“No! Sir, it’s really enough, we’re actually making a lot of this… more than a thousand years of profit… I’ll immediately go get you what’s leftover . ” The shopkeeper shuddered after hearing this .
His heart couldn’t handle this . This carving selling for 100,000,000 was frightening enough, but this pearl was another issue .
According to his appraisal, he was already making plenty and wanted nothing more than to give back the difference .
However, this guy didn’t even want that?
He never expected several billions to be at stake for this carving . Even a merchant with the evilest heart couldn’t handle the guilty conscience . [1]
The shopkeeper no longer tried to hide how much they were making off this .
“You still have a conscience for saying this . It’s fine, the rest will be your reward . ” Li Qiye said .
“ . . . Thank you for your generosity, thank you, Sir!” The shopkeeper reacted by kneeling on the ground and said .
This was akin to selling an item for more than one hundred times the price . Moreover, Li Qiye gave a tip that was even higher than the insane profit? The shopkeeper would lick Li Qiye’s shoes right now if asked .
The monks realized that they had met a real moneybag with something wrong in the brain . They decided to leave in a gloomy mood .
“Sir, I will wrap it up for you . ” The shopkeeper accepted the carving from Li Qiye with more respect than he had ever shown anyone else before in his life . This was a once-in-a-lifetime meeting with a real rich man .
Meanwhile, Jinning felt she was losing control of her legs from watching this mess .
The shopkeeper respectfully handed the wrapped item to Li Qiye and said: “Sir, do you want anything else? You can grab whatever you want in our shop . ”
He couldn’t handle the guilt since this pearl was more than enough to buy his entire shop . Thus, he was willing to let Li Qiye pick anything in the place for free . Li Qiye could take all merchandise if he wanted to . That’s the only way for the shopkeeper to feel better .
“Do you want anything?” Li Qiye took a quick glance around at the items before asking Bai Jinning .
“You… you’re talking to me?” She pointed at herself .
“Do you want anything? Go ahead and pick . ” Li Qiye said .
“Re-really?” She thought she was dreaming . A captain like her couldn’t afford to buy many things in this shop .
“Yes, yes, Miss, pick anything you want, just grab them all . ” The shopkeeper nodded, hoping that she would cure him of this mental affliction .
“How about this shield?” She wasn’t too confident .
“Yes!” The worker immediately wrapped the shield with lightning speed before respectfully handing it to her .
She couldn’t believe that this was happening as she was holding the shield .
“Miss, anything else? Keep picking!” The shopkeeper encouraged her to take more items for free .
“Well, then I want this sword . ” She hesitated for a bit before picking another .
1 . The cost of the pearl should be billions
