Multitalented Witch

Chapter 330: Arrangement

Zhan Kong was still preoccupied by the strange discovery in Dongting Lake after he went to sleep, overwhelmed with fatigue.

He was very curious if Mo Fan who became a demon was responsible for it. If so, that meant he was still alive, but how could he maintain rational thought? Why did he kill the Giant Lizard endlessly?

Failing to get a good night's sleep, Zhan Kong wakes up early and calls his old friend. He planned to have her investigate Dongting Lake with a few people.

“Commander, Zhang Xiaohou left the army before dawn. Judging from the things he took, it seemed like he had planned to leave long enough, ” said the old comrade.

"That stupid boy!" Zhan Kong cursed.

“Should I send someone to chase him? He shouldn't have gone too far. Going without permission is a serious offense,” said his old friend.

“Help him fill out a document that says he's on a mission, and grab a piece in my room and sign it on my behalf. He may be a fool, but he's a good tree boy,” Zhan Kong sighed.

"Yes sir."

“The demon wolf was agitated recently. I have to deal with them first. Send a letter to the headquarters in Biyi. Qiu Xin is my Senior Brother. He would know how to deal with the strange phenomenon in Dongting Lake. By the way, if you see that idiot Zhang Xiaohou along the way, have someone drag him back here. I don't want him to die in the wild, ” Zhang Xiaohou said.

"Yes, I'll do it soon."

””

The town of Biyi, Zhang Xiaohou, who was dressed like a hunter, stopped a passerby and asked about the location of the trading market.

"Do you know if there is a place here that sells Soul Essence?" Zhang Xiaohou raised his hat, revealing his eyes.

“Of course, where do you think this is? Biyi City, the closest fortress to Dongting Lake. You can even describe it as a city established right outside the den of demonic beasts. Both the military and the hunters were always fighting against the demonic beasts from Dongting Lake. The number of corpses of Giant Lizards each month was enough to wrap around the earth twice. Soul Essence might still be rare, but there were definitely those who sold it, almost every day. Some of them are still fresh as well,” obviously the man.

“Alright, thanks for the tip.” Zhang Xiaohou nodded.

“Son, I understand that you are looking for Soul Essence? I have a source here. If you are interested, I can give you a good discount. After all, once Soul Essence is sold in the market, the price will be raised further, ” the man said.

"Are you serious?" Zhang Xiaohou exclaimed happily. He was very lucky to get someone who sold Soul Essence right away, as expected of Biyi City. Normally, Soul Essence would only be found at auctions in small towns.

"Of course, but do you have any money?" the man asked.

“Yes, I must have had enough. I have nine million here … "

"Nine ... nine million?" The man was surprised. He reassesses honest-looking child ‹‹‹‹and honest ‹‹‹‹at first glance.

"That's fine. I was planning to buy three, but I heard that even an ordinary Soul Essence would cost at least three to four million. The slightly better ones were about five million each!I only have nine million, that's all I have after selling my equipment. Is it possible for you to sell me three for three million each? Zhang Xiaohou asked.

The man needed time to gather his thoughts. He did not expect an ordinary, humble-looking man like Zhang Xiaohou to have so much money for him!

“Three! three then. This is not the best price, but since you seem to be in a hurry, I'll try to contact the seller for you, ” said the man.

"thank you. By the way, what should I call you?” Zhang Xiaohou said.

"I ... err, calling me Da Jin is fine."

“Alright, thank you, Brother Da Jin! You have some connections! I don't think the three Soul Essences are easy to come by. ”

“No doubt, HAHAHA!” the man laughed out loud.

””

In addition to the magic market and auction, there was also a private magic shop. Most of the items in this magic shop were obtained from Magicians known personally by their owners. Their prices will be a little cheaper than the market and auction. Many hunters like to try their luck in stores like this, because the seller does not necessarily know the true value of the goods sold. In addition, it is easier to negotiate the price.

Da Jin smiled as he led the customer to the magic shop. He asked her to wait in the lobby in front.

The store has no customers. It looked rather desolate, although its shelves were decorated with magical items and equipment, and some magic ores.

Da Jin proceeded to the back of the shop and discussed things with the owner, who weighed almost two hundred kilograms.

“Sell him the fake Soul Essence you bought after spending over two hundred thousand. Judging from his appearance, I don't think he can tell the difference. Besides, even if he did! hehe!” whispered Da Jin.

“It doesn't even help if he calls the people from the Magic Association here. We will only blame him for not handling the Soul Essence appropriately, resulting in an energy leak. That's not our problem either, HAHAHA!” The fat owner also laughed out loud, before adding, "Make sure you bring all the stupid outsiders you met to me."

“No problem, no problem. We are very familiar with each other.”

The owner went to take out three fake Soul Essences after a short discussion.

Fake Soul Essence was still a Soul Essence, but due to improper collection methods or lack of suitable containers, they had lost most of their energy. They can still be used, but the effects are far from the true Soul Essence. The market usually won't sell it, but that's not the case for magic shops.

“I have his stuff here. Show us your money. Our shop is quite small. It will be troublesome if you lie to us and take those things without paying us, ” said the plump owner arrogantly.

"The money's on this diamond card."

“Diamond card? Is this what you can withdraw money from the Magic Association or the Hunter Union without a password? ” Da Jin squinted.

Diamond cards are usually used for large transactions that people do not want to be tied to their identity. It was similar to a check, and it was the best method to make illegal trades as well!

"Take the goods, I'll see if the cards are real" said the owner.

Zhang Xiaohou did not think too much about it. He handed over his diamond card so that he could verify it, while he received three containers with Soul Essence and began to inspect them.

However, as soon as he directed his wish at them, he immediately found something wrong.

"Something's wrong with the Soul Essence!" Zhang Xiaohou said with a frown.

"What do you mean? You don't handle them properly, so their energy has leaked.” The plump owner exclaimed with a surprised expression.

"Give me my diamond card." Zhang Xiaohou returned the three containers.

“What diamond card? Don't you know the rules of trading in a magic shop? The buyer will always verify the validity of the goods before paying the money. Why should I take your card before you check the goods?” owner says.

Zhang Xiaohou pulled a long face.

They had worked together to trap him!

Both the owner and Da Jin wore evil grins. A man like Da Jin who had spent a lot of time dealing with different types of people could easily tell that this child was a novice. However, he never thought he would be so rich. Talk about big fish.

It is quite difficult to find someone who can be easily deceived right now!
