Baiyi glanced at the gifts on the table. The students' gifts were almost the same, but those who chose to use gold coins as a reward had all voluntarily chosen the ingenious amount of 50 gold coins. It was not considered expensive, in fact, it could even be said to be a fair price. At the same time, it did not look too shabby, and there was no question of who gave more and who gave less. Everyone could still look good.
Most importantly, it was all voluntary. From the beginning to the end, Baiyi did not say a single word. He had to admit that the Merchant did have a unique way of grasping the psychology of the consumers.
"This is a very good start and the progress is very smooth. The consumers have consciously established a threshold for entry. This will unknowingly reduce a lot of burden for Sir Hope and there will not be any negative impact. Even though this price is still too little compared to your status, Sir Hope, this is after all just a beginning. When Sir Hope finds a reasonable excuse to stop providing repairs, there will naturally be fat sheep that will come to your door and that will be the time to make money … "The Merchant said in satisfaction as he listened to the crisp sound of gold coins colliding with each other through Baiyi's senses.
This damn profiteer! From the very beginning, he has been planning to sell people and still count the money for him. By the time Mia ran to the small blacksmith shop during lunch time to look for Baiyi, there were already more than a thousand gold coins on the table and all kinds of sundries. There were still a lot of Soul Armatures that had not been repaired in time outside the shop so that Baiyi could have some time to rest.
After Mia closed the door of the small wooden house, she did not even bother to eat anymore. Instead, she rushed to the table and excitedly counted the gold coins as she exclaimed, "Wow! There's actually so much money and gifts! Did everyone take the initiative to give them to you? "
"That's right!" Baiyi nodded, "That's why they say knowledge is wealth. Have you learned it, Mia?"
"Sigh … Initially, I wanted to slowly save up money by myself. I didn't expect Mr. Hope to be so powerful …" Suddenly, Mia felt a little discouraged as she took out the already bulging kitten purse from her skirt pocket. There should be quite a lot of money in it but compared to the income that Baiyi had earned in the past half a day, it was still not enough.
"All of a sudden, I feel so useless. Mr. Hope doesn't need me at all …" The little girl said dejectedly as she suddenly lost her goal of working hard.
"Mia, don't ever say that again." Baiyi walked up to her and patted her little head. At the same time, in order to make her happy, he released his Mana to control the gold coins on the table, arranging them into the shape of a cute kitten. After attracting the little girl's attention, he continued, "I don't want you to worry about such trivial things like money, Mia. You just need to focus on your cultivation and work hard to become stronger. That will be the biggest help you can give me."
"Trust me, Mia. No one needs you more than I do." Baiyi gently pinched her soft cheeks and said, "Alright, now that we don't have to worry about money, let's eat first."
"En en! I will do my best! " Mia nodded her head vigorously and quickly picked up the lunchbox that was filled with food. As she ate, she excitedly discussed with Baiyi about how to use the money. Of course, her main idea was still on how to replace Baiyi's body.
But to be honest, Baiyi was really not interested in that at all. Unless he could change into that black gold armor, the other ordinary goods were really meaningless. It would just be a waste of money. Of course, if he could find a big fat sheep … Oh wait, no, it should be a generous rich man, Baiyi would not mind making himself look better.
But how could a fat sheep come across so easily? This kind of business philosophy of waiting for the hare to come to them required a lot of patience so Baiyi did not expect too much from her. Early the next morning, after watching Mia walk into the academic building, he walked towards the blacksmith's shop with a kitty coin bank in his arms. It was the one that Mia had specially bought after school yesterday afternoon. The kitty coin bank could no longer hold so much money so she bought a few of these coin banks that were shaped like cute animals in one go so that it would be convenient for both of them to save their money.
But very soon, he realized that something was wrong. Usually, there would be a long queue outside the blacksmith's shop by this time but there was not a single person at all today. Of course, it was not because Baiyi had passed out so quickly. The reason must be the black carriage that was parked near the cabin. Although the two black carriages did not look special from the outside, the coachman, who was dressed elegantly with his back straight and his head tilted upwards, was more than enough to prove that the person sitting in the carriage was the fat sheep that Baiyi had been waiting for. Judging from the way the coachman had chased away all the irrelevant people, the fat sheep must be the fat sheep that Baiyi had been waiting for.
Out of curiosity, Baiyi walked towards the carriage that was pulling the fat sheep. When the coachman noticed him, he turned around and said something to the person in the carriage. Then, the door of the carriage opened and a black gold mountain jumped out of the carriage. Erm, to be more precise, it was the black Soul Armature that Baiyi had met last time. He was still holding half of an arm in one of his hands.
How is this a fat sheep? This is more like a golden pig! Baiyi did not expect that the guy would actually come back to give him money again. Come to think of it, his arm was actually chopped off by Baiyi... Tsk tsk, this is the standard plot of someone who is being sold and still helping to count the money.
However, this time, Baiyi was not playing the role of the down-and-out Sven the Rogue Knight but the mysterious Master Hope. For that reason, he only glanced at the priceless black gold armor calmly and did not reveal any other emotions.
The black Soul Armature, on the other hand, had also changed from his previous frivolous and crude image to a humble and courteous one. He first bowed slightly at Baiyi before opening the carriage door on the other side and extending his right hand in a gentlemanly manner. The person sitting in the carriage also extended a small hand that was covered with a lavender tulle glove and gently placed it on the armoured hand. After that, she stretched out a slender leg and walked out of the carriage, revealing her deadly beauty in front of Baiyi.
Of course, that was the Butterfly Saint of Swords, Miss Undine, who had fought with Baiyi previously. However, today, she had given up on her revealing female swordsman outfit. Her beautiful light blue hair was tied up in a noble bun, revealing her elegant swan-like neck. She was wearing a lavender aristocratic gown that generously revealed her round shoulders and the height of her chest was just right, leaving a trace of snow-white skin. It was neither revealing nor conservative at all. The exquisitely designed waist perfectly showcased Undine's slender yet powerful curves due to her long-term training. Below her was a long skirt that was cut out using translucent tulle. Although it did not reveal a single bit of her skin, one could still vaguely see the pair of straight long legs under the skirt, creating a special kind of hazy beauty. Coupled with the elegant temperament that she exuded, she looked extraordinarily beautiful.
'This little guy looks really pretty … That's more like it!' Baiyi could not help but applaud Undine's beauty. This is more like it! Just how much did she spend on taking care of her body? Not only did she look like a young girl, there was not a single trace of the wind and frost that could be found on her body that was left by swordsmanship.
Just when the Voidwalkers were amazed by Undine's beauty, a third figure suddenly emerged from the carriage. It was Tisdale, the girl that Baiyi had met once before. Her iconic long blonde hair was still as dazzling as the rising sun. She was wearing a normal student uniform that was obviously not as good as the gown that Undine was wearing. However, her extraordinarily beautiful face coupled with her youthful and energetic figure made her look no less beautiful than Undine. In her own way, she was showing off her unique charm that only belonged to a beautiful girl to Baiyi.
A great beauty and a beautiful girl. The appearance of these two beautiful women immediately dyed this quiet little park with a few colors.
As the top student of the Celestial Fortress Academy, it was only natural for Tisdale to make the opening remarks. After bowing slightly towards Baiyi, a generous and charming smile appeared on her face as she greeted Baiyi politely, "Nice to meet you, Master Hope."
"Nice to meet you, Tisdale. I've often heard about you from Mia," Baiyi replied. Baiyi replied. He had quite a good impression of Tisdale, not only because she was an outstanding beauty but also because she had once saved Mia's life. If it was not for her timely appearance, Mia would not have been able to summon Baiyi even though she had already suffered that kind of injury.
Of course, the Voidwalkers in the Void were even more fond of the two beauties now...
"Ahhhhh! Undine is so beautiful! Tisdale is so beautiful too! And Mia-chan is so cute! You're so lucky to be surrounded by three beautiful girls, Sir Hope!"
"Hmm... If I were to compare them, I actually like Tisdale a little more! Indeed, blonde hair and white stockings are the best! Coupled with the youthfulness and vitality of a beautiful girl... Let's not talk about it anymore! "
"Undine is also very good! She can be considered as one of the ultimate forms of a beautiful girl, right? Hmm... Why is she dressed so conservatively today? I still prefer the combination of a swordsman's dress and black silk stockings... "
Not only were the Voidwalkers behaving this way, even the Scholar who was categorized as a normal person by Baiyi could not help but exclaim, "What a beautiful little girl! Even I'm a little jealous now..."
Erm... You don't have to be jealous, do you? You were also known for your beauty back then, weren't you? Baiyi hurriedly replied.
"But I've been in the Mage Tower for almost my entire life and I've never met a man that I like..." The Scholar's voice sounded a little dejected.
