Xie Haiyang looked at Wang Baole with an enigmatic smile, then cleared his throat and said coolly, "Of course I'm going to give you a discount.
"Since it's an old friend, I naturally have to give him the lowest discount. For example … 20%?
Wang Baole's eyes lit up when he heard that. He gave up on leaving and instead walked towards Xie Haiyang while laughing heartily. When he was about ten feet away from Xie Haiyang, he spoke loudly with the joy of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
"Xie Haiyang, Fellow Daoist Xie! Hahaha! It's been a long time since we parted ways. Who would have thought that I'd run into you here again? Just now, I didn't dare to recognize you, but after looking at you for a long time, I'm finally certain … that you're my old friend, Xie Haiyang."
As Wang Baole sighed emotionally, his eyes filled with reminiscence. The joy on his face was obvious, and even seemed a bit fake ….
"Fellow Daoist Haiyang, how could I ever have imagined that I would run into you here? Sometimes I think that fate really is a wonderful thing. However, it's also because of this that life is so beautiful." With that, Wang Baole sat down off to the side. After heaping a few words of praise, he blinked a few times and then spoke in a seemingly casual manner.
"Since this is Fellow Daoist Haiyang's shop, and you've given me a twenty percent discount, then I'll definitely buy some more."
In response to Wang Baole's sudden enthusiasm, Xie Haiyang stared blankly for a moment, and an almost imperceptible look of hesitation appeared in his eyes. After examining Wang Baole for a moment, he suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist Haiyang.
What's your name, Fellow Daoist? "
"Huh?" Wang Baole paused for a moment, but his smile didn't change as he immediately responded.
"My name is Baole. Fellow Daoist Haiyang, don't tell me you've forgotten?"
When Xie Haiyang heard this, his expression became a little strange. The hesitation in his eyes increased, and he even began to doubt his own senses and judgment. He originally felt that there was a faint mark on this Long Nanzi's body. This mark had been left on a few items in Wang Baole's storage bag when he was in the Federation.
This seal was very mysterious. Even if it was a Star Domain Supreme Elder, if they didn't look carefully, it would be difficult for them to detect it. After all, this seal was passed down from their race's Laozu. It was a unique mark that a direct descendant of their race would give to a client who was preparing to invest in a key investment. While it was convenient for others of their race to know, it was also convenient for them to appear when the other party needed it. It didn't have the slightest bit of malice, and to a certain extent, it even carried the blessing of the Laws.
However, the ripples from the imprint were extremely weak. If it were not for the fact that they were too close to each other, Xie Haiyang would not have been able to detect it. This puzzled him. At the same time, even if he had detected it, it would have been very difficult for him to confirm the other's identity.
After all, this Long Nanzi in front of him, regardless of whether it was his aura or his feeling, did not match with the key investment target that he had left an imprint on in his memory.
Therefore, after he had tested the other party and failed to obtain any results, he had picked up his teacup and tested the other party again. The Long Nanzi's reaction in front of him made him more certain in his heart at once.
After all … he had traveled through many civilizations, and only the Federation had this custom of sending off a guest with a cup of tea.
However … the Long Nanzi's reaction after that made him feel even more puzzled. It was because … the other party had admitted it too quickly. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like the other party had admitted it on purpose to cheat him of a 20% discount.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Xie Haiyang could not be bothered to guess anymore. He looked at Wang Baole and spoke directly.
"Senior Brother Baole, what's your surname?"
"Huh?" Wang Baole pretended to be stunned, and there was even some confusion on his face. It was as if he did not understand why this old friend of his had forgotten his surname. However, at this moment, he was somewhat pleased with himself.
Although he did not know how Xie Haiyang had been able to vaguely recognize his identity in the beginning, he did not want to reveal his identity from the bottom of his heart, nor did he want to acknowledge Xie Haiyang. However, when Xie Haiyang had served him tea earlier, he had subconsciously excused himself and revealed some flaws. If it had been someone else, perhaps they would not have made the connection. However, Wang Baole knew very well that Xie Haiyang was not an ordinary person.
Therefore, Wang Baole might as well make the best of his mistake and advance in order to retreat. He pretended that he had impersonated Xie Haiyang for the sake of a discount. At this moment, when he heard Xie Haiyang's words, Wang Baole knew that his plan had worked. Therefore, after being stunned and puzzled for a while, Wang Baole's expression turned somewhat ugly, and he stood up angrily.
"Fellow Daoist Haiyang," he said, "it is true that I didn't think of meeting you today. After all, your parting back then was a bit of a surprise. At the same time, I would never have guessed that you would appear here. However, there is no need for you to humiliate me like this and intentionally say that you forgot my surname.
"If you want to acknowledge this old friend of yours, then we will. If you don't, then I'm not the type of person to covet your twenty percent discount!" Wang Baole's expression was displeased, and he turned to leave. However, he did not move quickly. After all, he wanted to give Xie Haiyang some time to speak. A twenty percent discount was still very tempting.
As for what he had said just now, it was ambiguous. He had said that Xie Haiyang's departure was a surprise, but that could be explained in any way. A normal departure could be explained as a surprise, but an abnormal departure could be described as a surprise.
Therefore, Xie Haiyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly stood up and called out, "Brother Liu, please wait a moment.
"Brother Liu, please wait. Baole Liu, oh Baole Liu, your temper is still as bad as ever. I was just joking with you. As for why I'm here, do you remember what I told you when we first met? Wherever there's business, there's me, Xie Haiyang."
Wang Baole's expression softened slightly as he turned to look at Xie Haiyang. In his heart, he thought, "You're an alien. Even now, you still want to test me." Although the surname "Liu" sounded like it was filled with wealth and wealth, and only a handsome person could have it, it still didn't match his temperament.
However, Wang Baole had no intention of acknowledging his identity. Therefore, after thinking about it, he neither denied nor agreed. Instead, he raised his hand and took out a jade slip and handed it to Xie Haiyang.
"Fellow Daoist Haiyang, let's not talk about this for now. I wonder if you can help me with the matter of purchasing materials? Here's the list. "
Xie Haiyang blinked when he heard this. After taking a look at it, a smile appeared on his face.
"No problem. However, Brother Baole, friendship is friendship, business is business. Even if I give you a 20% discount, the price of such a large number of materials is still very high. I wonder if you can afford it?"
Wang Baole's expression was normal, but he sighed in his heart. He also knew that the price of the materials on this list was not something he could afford. A deep sense of poverty made Wang Baole feel a little weak. However, he was still very thick-skinned. He thought that even if he couldn't make it, at least he could get a 20% discount on the previous items. At the same time, he could also clear the other party's doubts about him. Therefore, he put on a serious expression.
"Brother Haiyang, do you believe me? If you do, I, Liu Baole, will write you an IOU. Just take it as a credit!"
Xie Haiyang's face twitched. He carefully examined the list again, but the hesitation in his heart still made him unable to make an accurate judgment. It had to be said that Wang Baole's acting was very useful here. If he had denied it at the beginning, he would have been completely exposed. However, the more he admitted it, the more uncertain Xie Haiyang would be.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Xie Haiyang's eyes suddenly flashed slightly. He looked around and said in a low voice.
"Brother Baole, I have a business here. Do you want to do it? Although there is a certain degree of danger, the degree of danger is not great. As long as you succeed, you will gain a lot of profit. Not only can you buy all the materials you need, but you will also have a surplus! "
"Business?" Wang Baole immediately became vigilant, but on the surface, he also showed hesitation. "That's right.
Brother Baole, don't worry. This is a mission issued by a mighty figure with a mysterious background. This mighty figure's cultivation level is very shocking. He has a feud with the Never-Ending Clan, but due to some special reasons, he can't take action personally. However, he has been brooding in his heart for many years. Therefore, he issued missions at various markets at irregular times all year round, recruiting cultivators to wear the specific revenge mask he gave them and teleport to a random planet of the Never-Ending Clan to kill Never-Ending Clan cultivators!
"This mighty figure has issued missions more than 30 times so far. He is in charge of teleportation and receiving, and is in charge of the aftermath. The recruited cultivators are in charge of killing. If they die, everything is over. However, if they don't die, they can receive a fixed number of Red Crystals no matter how many Never-Ending Clan members they kill!
"Red Crystals are the hard currency of the entire Never-Ending Dao Domain. 300 Red Crystals are enough for all the materials you have previously!"
