Chapter 50 : Just How Many Eggs Do You Have?
Just How Many Eggs Do You Have?Ten... ten million?!
When Little Persimmon Puppy uttered this number, it was finally Cecilia's turn to be stunned. Her right hand holding the crocodile egg even trembled slightly, and she began to doubt whether she had heard it right.
Has RMB become this worthless these days?
Today, selling an epic swordsman set and skill together only fetched 7.3 million, which had already made Cecilia feel deeply uneasy, but she hadn't expected things to get even crazier. Little Persimmon Puppy actually offered 10 million directly for this egg—was she making it clear that she was determined to win it no matter what?
The look of joy that had just surfaced on Dawn's Light's face froze as well. From heaven to hell was truly just one step apart. Who would have thought that Little Persimmon Puppy would be so ruthless, outright offering 10 million to snatch away the prize? He had just advanced-spent more than seven million, and he couldn't possibly come up with 10 million now.
The three of them each cradled the smooth, translucent crocodile egg, none willing to let go first. The atmosphere instantly became tense.
"I say, little miss, isn't what you're doing a bit underhanded?"
Two seconds later, Dawn's Light was the first to force a smile and, in a hoarse voice, addressed Little Persimmon Puppy.
It was clear he was pressuring Little Persimmon Puppy to give up early. After all, this world-class boss's pet egg was extremely important to Dawn's Light at this stage.
Little Persimmon Puppy also knew she was being a bit unreasonable, but she just couldn't let this egg go. Although her eyes flickered, she still bit her cherry lips and said, "I'm not here to negotiate with you. Highest bid wins, isn't that a fair deal?"
"Little miss, the more friends you have, the more options you get. I'm willing to add another five million for you to let me have this egg. Consider that I owe you a huge favor."
After deliberating for a moment, Dawn's Light said with difficulty. He had already spent over seven million earlier—this additional five million was his final limit.
"Sorry, our Merchant Alliance will be hosting an auction soon, and we really need this pet egg for gathering attention. I'm truly sorry, but I'm afraid you'll just have to let it go this time."
Under Dawn's Light's threats and temptations, little Persimmon Puppy stood her ground firmly, showing no intention of giving in.
Finishing her words, both turned to Cecilia, waiting for her final decision.
If there were only this one crocodile egg, Cecilia would really be put on the spot. No matter who she sold it to, the other would surely bear a grudge, and in the end, she'd be the biggest loser.
However, this time she had gotten hold of a total of three crocodile eggs. Seeing these two argue over a single egg was truly ludicrous to Cecilia.
"Five million isn't necessary. This one's a gift to you."
With that, Cecilia directly presented the egg in her palm and shoved it into Dawn's Light's arms.
Dawn's Light hurriedly took the heavy egg, his heart full of wild joy, and his gratitude towards the silver-haired girl before him overflowed. This veteran man in his forties nearly shed tears.
He knew, he now owed Cecilia a huge favor.
On the other side, seeing the ease of the transaction, little Persimmon Puppy was left feeling despondent and was about to leave when she saw Cecilia take out another identical egg from her backpack and hand it over.
"What's there to fight about? I was already planning to sell you this one. Forget about ten million—just take it for five million."
Little Persimmon Puppy's eyes widened, her rims growing moist with emotion. Before she could even speak her thanks, she saw Cecilia take out yet another egg, one in each hand, tilt her head and ask, "Is one enough? If not, I've got one more."
Cecilia pulling rare pet eggs out one after another like a magic trick left everybody dumbfounded, and Dawn's Light especially felt as if he'd just suffered ten thousand points of psychic damage.
Little Persimmon Puppy stared blankly for a long moment before stammering, "You... just how many eggs do you have...?"
"Three in total. That's it. One for five million, two for ten million. Do you want them or not?"
Cecilia shook the two eggs in her hands a little impatiently.
"I want them! Give them to me, quickly!"
Realizing what was happening, little Persimmon Puppy hastily snatched the two pet eggs from Cecilia, shoved them into her own backpack, barely sparing a glance at them for fear she might drop and smash them.
Seeing this, Dawn's Light hurriedly put his own egg away as well, and only after ensuring it was safe did the tense atmosphere finally ease.
Now that she had bought what she wanted—and a pair at that—Little Persimmon Puppy's mood soared. She rubbed her eyes and sheepishly said to Cecilia, "Thank you so much this time. By the way, how do I transfer the money to you?"
"Is it the same bank account as before?"
Dawn's Light also asked.
Cecilia was about to nod, but then she remembered she was no longer Chen Zixuan. To be safe, she had to move the money from her old bank card as soon as possible. After thinking for a second, she gently shook her head and said,
"No, I have another bank card. I'll send you both the number after I log off."
Although she said so, the truth was she only had that old bank card, which was opened using Chen Zixuan's ID card. After logging off, she planned to see if she could get a new bank card with her current ID card, and see whether the stuff Aesther gave her was reliable.
With the payment process clarified, little Persimmon Puppy had nothing else to do. After exchanging friend requests and farewells with the group, she logged out of the game on the spot.
Even at five million per pet egg, two eggs came to ten million. That was no small sum, even for someone as rich as Little Persimmon Puppy, who would have to borrow quite a bit to scrape the money together.
With Little Persimmon Puppy heading off to raise funds, the rest prepared to return to the Main City and agreed to travel together.
Yet just as everyone set out, excited and buoyant, Cecilia suddenly sported a playful smile and said, "Wait, it looks like someone has their eyes on us."
"What's going on?"
Dawn's Light immediately tensed, worried someone was after his egg, asking anxiously.
"Who's got the nerve to try and steal from us?"
Yuewu gripped her short staff, cracked her knuckles, and bit her lip, clearly fuming.
Everyone who'd come to the Mutant Jungle had left with something—except her. She hadn't snatched a single piece of equipment, didn't buy a world-class boss pet egg, and didn't even get any free potions from Little Persimmon Puppy. Naturally, she had a lot of pent-up frustration to vent.
With Cecilia anchoring the team, Yuewu wanted to see just which national server players were stupid enough to mess with them.
