These words were simply a series of slaps, almost slapping Liao Feijun's face until it was swollen.
Even Liao Feijun's gang of scoundrels couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Liao Feijun was furious. "What a shameless boastful brat. You don't have any evidence, so you can fabricate whatever you want. This is clearly the Flood Dragon's Eye!"
"It's indeed hard to tell the difference between the Flood Dragon's Eye and the Monster Dragon's Eye. "Any type of Monster Dragon's Eye is slightly poisonous. If we can drill a hole and scrape some powder out, we can put it into the poison testing fluid. There should be a reaction."
"After talking for so long, you've finally revealed your fox's tail, haven't you? Drilling a hole in the crystal core will make the material useless. You know that we can't do such a test, so you're talking so recklessly, aren't you?" Liao Feijun was so angry that he started laughing. He shook his head repeatedly as if he was annoyed at himself for arguing with such a person. It was really lowering his own status.
"If we don't conduct a destructive test now, are you going to wait for Young Master Nie to turn the Monster Dragon's Eye into a gene medicine and eat it to reach a higher cultivation realm, then enter spirit energy deviation, bleed from his orifices, and even die on the spot? Are you going to take responsibility for that?" Meng Chao asked seriously.
As he spoke, he looked at Young Master Nie with sympathy.
Young Master Nie's expression changed.
"Nie Laosi, you don't believe me?" Liao Feijun was furious. "You believe a high school student who lives in a public renting house?"
"That's not what I meant." Young Master Nie frowned and thought to himself, "It's not like you're the one eating it, so of course you don't care. What if you really made a mistake?"
They were fair-weather friends, and they did not trust each other to the point where they could entrust their lives to each other.
"Eight million!"
At that moment, Ning Shewo strode onto the stage. His voice was like a loud bell. "Young Nie, show me some respect. I'll buy this unknown material from you for eight million. I'll appraise it on the spot, and we'll know whether it's poisonous and whether it's an Aquatic Dragon's Eye or a Monster Dragon's Eye!"
"Huo!"
When the people saw Ning Shewo going on the stage to support Meng Chao, they cried out in surprise.
This trade fair was really full of twists and turns, twists and turns.
"There's no need for that. I don't care about a few million yuan. Since Elder Ning is here, let's identify what this is!" Young Master Nie took out the unknown material.
Liao Feijun's expression was extremely unsightly, but he couldn't back down now. He could only brace himself and say, "Then let's appraise it. Hmph, for a foolish brat's foolish words, we've wasted materials worth millions!"
"That's right. Monster Dragon's Eye might be poisonous, but if we modified it with a different formula, it would stimulate a person's potential, and the effects would be even better than Aquatic Dragon's Eye. Unfortunately, once we did the destructive test, its quality dropped by a large margin. We'll lose at least a few million." Meng Chao shook his head with a face full of regret.
Now that things had progressed to this state, there was no way they could end things peacefully. The trade fair had all sorts of appraisal tools and testing fluids, so Ning Shewo personally took action. Soon, he fixed the unknown material in place and used a super mini drill to gently drill a hole that was as thick as a strand of hair on the surface of the material. Then, he inserted the needle that was as thin as a hair into it.
The moment it drilled through the material, a seven-colored radiance rushed out, immediately filling the room with a fragrant aroma.
Everyone sighed. They knew that the spiritual energy sealed in the crystal core had leaked out. This crystal core could be considered useless.
The expressions of some of the veteran harvesters changed. They were puzzled and shocked.
They could already smell some signs from the overly strong aroma.
Usually, only poisonous materials would have such a sweet aroma.
And just as they expected …
Soon after the powder that was extracted from the core of the unknown material was placed into the poison testing fluid, pink bubbles appeared on the testing fluid, and it started tumbling about as if it was boiling.
It was poisonous!
The poison was very light, but it was enough to prove that this was not an Aquatic Dragon's Eye!
No one had ever seen or even heard of it before. It was a Monster Dragon's Eye that only Meng Chao knew about!
"This is …"
In an instant, all the harvesters, buyers, and sellers had complicated expressions on their faces. When they looked at Meng Chao, their gazes were filled with respect and puzzlement.
Liao Feijun was dumbfounded, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his skin.
Bloody Wolf's Mr. Zhao looked at Liao Feijun with a gaze that was five times stronger than before, and he looked at Meng Chao.
Young Master Nie, who had nearly turned the poisonous material into medicine and ate it, had his face turn red with rage. He glared at Liao Feijun in great displeasure.
Ning Shewo sighed in relief. When he looked at Meng Chao, his gaze was filled with admiration.
Ning Xueshi covered her mouth, and she giggled through her fingers.
And a new notification popped up in Meng Chao's field of vision.
[Elite citizen Ning Shewo has been guided by you and learned about a brand new material. His knowledge has increased. Increased contribution points by 18.]
[Normal citizen Ning Xueshi has been guided by you and learned about a brand new material. Her knowledge has increased. Increased contribution points by 9.]
[Normal citizen Liao Feijun has been guided by you and learned about a brand new material. His knowledge has increased. Increased contribution points by 11.]
[Elite citizen …]
[Normal citizen …]
There were dozens of notifications, and practically everyone was guided by Meng Chao. Their knowledge had increased, and Meng Chao had gained more than five hundred contribution points in one go.
'Ah, this is pretty good!'
Meng Chao's eyes lit up.
It seemed like he had discovered another way to gain contribution points.
Liao Feijun gritted his teeth. Just as he was about to walk down the stage, Meng Chao suddenly called out to him.
"Wait, it's impolite not to reciprocate. Just now, you gave me a few words, so why don't I give you a few words as well?"
Meng Chao thought about it for a while. He did not just want to take revenge.
He really wanted to give Liao Feijun a few more guidance and see whether he could gain more contribution points.
"I'm friends with Elder Ning. He's your grandfather, so based on seniority, I should be your grandfather as well," Meng Chao said sincerely.
"But we're about the same age, so it's not good for me to take advantage of you. Since you're calling me martial uncle, why don't I lower my seniority and become your uncle? Dear Liao, I'm going to tell you some of the principles of being a harvester.
"If you know something, then you know it. If you don't know something, then you don't know it. With how strange and unpredictable the fog is and how big the Other World is, there are all sorts of mutated beasts and even monsters. There are countless rare materials here, so how can we possibly know all the materials in the world?
"Even if a harvester is powerful, it's fine if they admit that they know nothing about a certain material. If they don't know anything, they can just learn it. It's not embarrassing at all.
"What I'm afraid of is pretending to know everything when you don't know anything and treating Monster Dragon's Eye as an Aquatic Dragon's Eye. You'll be in the limelight, but if others eat it, they'll die!"
Liao Feijun found himself speechless. His face turned livid and red, and his lips twitched nonstop. He looked like he was about to go crazy at the next second.
"That's how it is to be a harvester, and it's the same as being a person. That includes Dragon City's external strategy," Meng Chao said sincerely.
"Right now, we don't know anything about the world outside the fog, and we're already talking about a steel army that can advance by storm and sweep through the Other World. That's just too conceited. After all, civilizations aren't destroyed by weakness, but by arrogance. Dear Liao, I don't want to criticize you, but I think that you've been a little too conceited with your words."
Liao Feijun was so angry that he wanted to jump up.
Young Master Nie, who had a similar background as him and was nearly set up by him, laughed without giving him any face.
Meng Chao blinked. He had tried his best to persuade him, but he did not gain even a single contribution point.
Was Liao Feijun really that stubborn?
He thought about it for a while and felt that Liao Feijun had misunderstood him.
"Don't misunderstand, Dear Liao. I'm not interested in slapping your face. I'm sincerely giving you some pointers on how to behave and do things. Calm down and think about my words when you go back," Meng Chao said sincerely.
"In the future, the world and your life might go through a drastic change. If you continue being so arrogant, you might end up dying without a grave in the future," Meng Chao said with utmost sincerity.
"You —" Liao Feijun was livid. "How dare you threaten me?"
"No, I'm definitely not threatening you. I'm doing this for your own good. Even if you don't understand it right now, it's fine. Take my words to heart along with what happened today. When you're free, think about it carefully and try to change your life so that you can become a better Liao Feijun. One of these days, you'll thank me —" Liao Feijun was speechless.
Before he could finish speaking, Ning Shewo and Ning Xueshi grabbed his arm and covered his mouth. They dragged him off the stage.
"I'm sorry, everyone. This friend of mine is … a technological geek. He's kind, but he's not very good at talking to people." Ning Shewo helped him mediate the situation.
"Ning Shewo!" Liao Feijun was livid. "How dare you allow this mad dog to bite people? Are you looking down on my grandfather?!"
"Liao Feijun, do you think you can call me by my name?"
His words caused Ning Shewo, who had been prepared to mediate the situation, to fly into a rage. His expression instantly changed, and his voice became fierce. "My young friend, you're absolutely right. Your grandfather only taught you harvesting skills. He didn't teach you how to be a person at all!
"I'm the one who brought my young friend here. Today, whoever doesn't show him respect is showing me, White-haired Ghostly Hands! Since you're not showing me respect, I can't be bothered to argue with you. I'll go and settle the score with Liao Santong! "
When White-haired Ghostly Hands flew into a rage, the entire hall fell silent.
Liao Feijun gritted his teeth. "What do you want?"
"I've fought against Junior Brother Liao for decades, and I know what color his fart is. Hmph, he wants to step on me while I'm poisoned? Then, let him get what he wants! "
Ning Shewo said proudly. "One month later, Ghostly Hands and Poisonous Hands will fight in public to resolve today's conflict. Will Liao Santong dare to do it?"
"Good! Good! That's great!"
Liao Feijun had been waiting for this. He glared at Meng Chao. "Then it's a promise. All the people here are witnesses. One month later, Ghostly Hands will fight against Poisonous Hands, and we'll see just who will obtain the true legacy of the Jade Trial Skill. At that time, don't say that my grandfather bullied you and that you're a cripple with trembling hands!"
Ning Shewo narrowed his eyes, and his beard and hair trembled. "Even if he's crippled, it'll be enough!"
When White-haired Ghostly Hands took action, he instantly stirred up a ruckus.
"Ghostly Hands actually challenged Poisonous Hands?!"
"Could it be that Ghostly Hands Ning has recovered? That doesn't make sense. It's impossible for him to win against Poisonous Hands Liao right now."
"Just who is this boy? He's so knowledgeable, and he's even protected by Ghostly Hands Ning. If Ghostly Hands Ning isn't his master, then just who is his master?"
