"That won't do. The lowest price for a pet mount in this market is forty thousand contribution points. The price you're offering is far too low!"
The stall owner hurriedly shook his head when he heard Chu Chen's words. "Although this black donkey doesn't look like much, it was able to pass through the Fiery Quicksand Sea and reach the Fiery Lands. How can it be compared to a pet mount? Your price is far too low."
"This black donkey was able to pass through the Fiery Quicksand Sea. That's truly shocking."
The corner of Chu Chen's mouth curled slightly as he continued to polish the stall owner's thoughts. "Since that's the case, I think you should sell it to me for twenty thousand contribution points. This black donkey is clearly inferior to other pets. This price is probably the limit."
"This …"
The stall owner was somewhat hesitant. Just as Chu Chen had predicted, the stall owner had no idea where this black donkey came from. He had only found this black donkey in a relatively remote area.
Ever since he had obtained this pet mount, he hadn't seen how capable it was. Instead, he had seen that it was an absolute glutton!
Although this black donkey looked like a donkey, it only ate meat. Moreover, its appetite was astonishing. It could eat hundreds of kilograms of meat every day … This was ten times the appetite of an ordinary pet mount! The stall owner had long wanted to get rid of this black donkey … Because raising this black donkey consumed too much of his resources, he could barely afford it.
Seeing the stall owner's hesitant expression, Chu Chen hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.
"This humble one is somewhat proficient in the art of medicine. I can see that this black donkey is as thin as a matchstick. Its forehead is black, its pupils are constricted, and its abdomen is swollen. It is clearly suffering from an extremely rare type of gluttony. If I'm not wrong, this black donkey's appetite has been astonishing recently … I'm afraid it eats ten times more than other pets. If this continues, its appetite will only grow bigger and bigger. Shopkeeper, you must consider this carefully … "
Chu Chen gently waved his hand and pretended to be enigmatic as he smiled faintly.
"Recently, I've been researching a cure for gluttony. Therefore, I'm willing to spend twenty thousand contribution points to buy this sick donkey. If you miss out on me, I'm afraid no one will be willing to buy it …"
"You must have spent a lot of money to raise it these past few days, right? The longer you feed it, the more you'll lose money. When this black donkey dies from its gluttony, you'll lose more than you gain … By then, you won't even be able to earn back the money you spent on buying ingredients! "
In order to obtain this Gluttonous Wyrm, Chu Chen went all out. He even made up the non-existent "Gluttony Syndrome".
However, the stall owner was truly intimidated by the donkey. He frowned and carefully sized up the black donkey. In the end, he nodded helplessly.
"Sigh, alright. This black donkey has indeed eaten quite a lot of food here. Since you want it, I'll sell it to you at a cheaper price! If you need anything in the future, don't forget to take care of my business! "
"Of course!" Chu Chen suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and took out his disciple nameplate from his storage ring. He saw the stall owner swipe his disciple nameplate on the spirit force machine beside him and clearly showed the number of 20,000 contribution points.
"Hehe, you can take this black donkey with you!"
After completing the transaction, the stall owner let out a sigh of relief. He waved his hand and returned the disciple nameplate to Chu Chen. However, when Chu Chen excitedly took the disciple nameplate and prepared to leave with the black donkey, a voice suddenly sounded.
Not far away, a voice with three parts arrogance, three parts disdain, and three parts arrogance suddenly rang out.
"Wait, I want this Gluttonous Wyrm!"
Hm?
Chu Chen's eyelids twitched. He turned his head and saw a finely dressed youth coldly looking at him from not far away.
This youth's complexion was fair and handsome. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. However, the corners of his eyes were slightly upturned, revealing a sense of arrogance that came from his bones. At this moment, there was an old man beside the youth who was whispering into his ear.
Chu Chen was somewhat shocked. He didn't expect someone to be able to recognize the Gluttonous Wyrm at a glance. Even with his eyesight, if it weren't for the little hamster's reminder, he wouldn't have been able to recognize it.
Thus, he couldn't help but look at the old man. He saw that the old man was wearing a dark green servant's outfit. His body didn't emit any tyrannical energy fluctuations, but he faintly gave Chu Chen an extremely dangerous feeling.
"What? My black donkey … is actually a Gluttonous Wyrm?? "
Before Chu Chen could say anything, the stall owner selling the black donkey was slightly startled. He had been in the spirit mount business for dozens of years and had naturally heard of the Gluttonous Wyrm. It was an extremely rare spirit pet!
"Hmph, that's right. This black donkey is a renowned 'Gluttonous Wyrm'. Moreover, the concentration of the ancient divine beast Taotie's bloodline in its body is rather high. As long as it is provided with enough food, it can easily shed its mortal body and condense a wyrm's body. If it is provided with some extremely rare heavenly treasures, perhaps it can truly transform into a Dragon Son Taotie!"
The well-dressed youth lightly snorted and raised his eyebrows at Chu Chen. "Brat, you must be a disciple of the Medicine Palace. I want this Gluttonous Wyrm. You can leave now."
It was obvious that this youth didn't put Chu Chen in his eyes at all. He acted like a high and mighty master, waving his hand at Chu Chen with an extremely arrogant and despotic attitude.
"Eh, little brother, I didn't know the true value of this black donkey before. Can you …"
The middle-aged vendor impatiently rubbed his hands. At this moment, his intestines were probably green with regret.
A Gluttonous Wyrm! That was one of the highest quality spirit mounts. Moreover, he'd heard that this Gluttonous Wyrm didn't require much effort to transform into a wyrm's body. This kind of value was far beyond what twenty thousand Medicine Palace contribution points could buy!
"You want to take back this black donkey? It's too late. I've already bought it! "
Looking at the arrogant youth and the anxious and depressed vendor, the corner of Chu Chen's mouth curved slightly. He stepped forward and grabbed the black donkey's reins without any explanation.
"We've exchanged the money and delivered the goods. Now that the black donkey is mine, it's up to me to decide what to do with it!"
"This …" The vendor's expression became even more bitter. Chu Chen wasn't wrong. He'd already swiped the contribution points from Chu Chen's disciple nameplate, which meant that the transaction was complete. No matter what he said, it was too late. After all, the most important thing in doing business was to exchange the money and deliver the goods. He could only blame himself for not having the foresight to sell such a peerless mount as trash.
While the vendor was sighing, the well-dressed youth frowned and looked at Chu Chen impatiently. "How much did you pay for this spirit mount? I'll buy it for double the price."
