Chapter 339: Chapter 215: Monster Buyer, Pay More (Two in One)_2
...
Before long, Qin Shou walked out of the temporary office with a flushed face, his steps unusually light, a stark contrast to his earlier weakness.
He tossed the golden potion in his hand, chuckling softly.
"As expected, the principal has all the good stuff. This potion will last for quite a while."
With this in hand, the time he spends weakened after using the Divine Light Stick will be greatly reduced. He can keep messing around again.
"Haha, if I weren’t hunting monsters, I could probably become an actor. After all, I’m really good at playing miserable."
Qin Shou pocketed the golden potion, clasped his hands behind his back, and disappeared from the temporary Beast Cultivation Main City base.
...
The great battle in Yara City ultimately ended with humanity’s victory, but quite a few vampires still escaped, spreading out across all of South America.
If this isn’t managed properly in the coming days, South America will turn into a vampire paradise.
But none of this had anything to do with Qin Shou.
He wasn’t a saint. After risking his life to save so many people, there’s no way he’s going to sweat over cleaning up the aftermath and saving all of South America, right?
Still, for the sake of humanitarianism, Qin Shou felt he should offer a few hundred sets of battle armor to the workers heading to South America, as a kind gesture.
Compared to improving beast cultivation, using battle armor to fight monsters turned out to be much more effective, and it saved a lot of synthesis points too.
Back in the Beast Cultivation Main City, Qin Shou entered "retirement mode," spending his days feeding monsters, selling battle armor, and organizing monster synthesis formulas.
Oh, and pretending to be super busy so he didn’t have to attend the matchmaking event his parents arranged for him.
In this era, at almost twenty years old, Qin Shou was already considered an older single youth.
Seeing his peers already married with kids, Qin Guofang and Hua Ping back home were practically ready to explode from worry.
"Dad, Mom, just wait a little longer. Once I break through to the Unbreakable Realm and become the strongest man on Earth, standing at the pinnacle of life, I promise I’ll..."
Before Qin Shou could finish, Hua Ping interrupted him sharply.
"Stop talking, you brat. You’re already a student of the Beast Cultivation Main City—doesn’t that count as the pinnacle of life?"
"Yeah, no excuses. Hurry up, come home for the matchmaking, and give us a big, fat grandson. Then you can go chase your dream pinnacle of life," Qin Guofang chimed in.
"Exactly, if you don’t come back, we’ll break your legs..."
On the communicator’s screen, the two elders took turns with threats and pleas, determined to get Qin Shou home.
Qin Shou pressed his palm to his forehead—being a Beast Cultivation Main City student counts as the pinnacle of life?
With his knack for causing trouble, if he didn’t quickly step into the Unbreakable Realm, someone might quietly take him out.
Helpless, Qin Shou called Leng Wanbai to his side.
No, also Zhi Yin, who only revealed her upper body.
Thus, in Qin Guofang and Hua Ping’s delighted gaze, Qin Shou appeared in their view with one woman in each arm.
"Dad, Mom, did you see that? Your son is very popular. If I settle down too soon, wouldn’t that leave other girls with no chance?"
"You’ve always taught me that greater ability comes with greater responsibility, that I must be someone who contributes to the Federation."
"For the sake of those poor girls, to answer the Federation’s call, to ensure the prosperity of the Qin family line..."
"Dad, Mom, just wait a little longer. Let me save a few more poor girls..."
Under Qin Shou’s "honest and heartfelt" persuasion, the two elders finally smiled and hung up the communicator.
"Phew..."
Qin Shou wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, internally sighing with relief for escaping disaster yet again.
"Master, master, when are we going back to see Dad and Mom?"
Zhi Yin snuggled in Qin Shou’s arms, smiling as she asked.
Qin Shou: "..."
He casually tossed Zhi Yin into the system space and clapped his hands.
"Focus on being a fish and don’t dream about such beautiful things!"
He turned to look at Leng Wanbai nearby.
Leng Wanbai quickly backed away, "No need for you to act, I’ll leave on my own."
Qin Shou nodded in satisfaction. Very good, very self-aware.
"Beep beep..."
After Leng Wanbai ran off, the communicator lit up again.
"Old Qin, heard you’ve got two girlfriends now. Congrats, congrats..."
Long Xia barely got halfway through speaking before Qin Shou interrupted him sharply.
"Shut up. Where’d you hear that nonsense?" Qin Shou’s face darkened.
"Uncle and Auntie posted it on their communicator’s Moments—you haven’t seen it?"
Qin Shou: "..."
"If there’s nothing urgent, I’m hanging up."
"Wait, there is something urgent."
"Say it."
"Well, recently, there’s this nutcase calling himself a monster buyer constantly pestering me, saying he wants to meet you. I really can’t deal with him anymore, so can you come to West City and meet him?"
"Monster buyer?"
Qin Shou raised an eyebrow—the name sounded too familiar.
Ultraman Tiga’s monstrous beast, the universe’s fiercest monster?
What kind of nonsense!
"Long Xia, here’s the deal: you give him my communicator number. Then I don’t need to go to West City."
At this point, heading home would undoubtedly lead to endless questioning from his parents.
"Alright, I’ll pass it to him immediately."
After Long Xia hung up, shortly thereafter, a new communication request popped up.
Once the communicator connected, the virtual screen displayed a slightly pudgy man with a pale face, wearing a black gentleman’s hat and a black tailcoat.
Seeing him, Qin Shou’s heart skipped a beat.
"Monster buyer, Charlie!" he whispered in alarm.
The man paused, then gave a slight bow, performing a gentile salute.
With a faint smile, he said, "Respected Mr. Qin Shou, I come from Drue Planet, and my name is Yale. I am a monster buyer, but the Charlie you mentioned, I don’t know him."
Qin Shou stroked his chin and probed, "What’s the name of the universe’s fiercest monster?"
Yale paused again and responded, "Mr. Qin Shou, does such a terrifying existence even exist in the universe?"
Qin Shou finally breathed a sigh of relief—he’d thought Ultraman Tiga’s world view had merged, scared the life out of him!
"Haha, sorry about earlier, I mistook you for someone else. So, you said you’re from Drue Planet—what sort of planet is that?" Qin Shou asked curiously.
This guy dared to admit he was an alien, without fear of the Federation coming to interrogate him—it seemed he had something to rely on.
Yale smiled faintly, "It seems Mr. Qin Shou isn’t aware of Monster Planet’s existence, and thus hasn’t heard of Drue Planet either."
"Monster Planet?"
Qin Shou’s brain turned into mush—what even was that?
Yale began explaining, "We from Drue Planet, like Earth, belong to the Galaxy Alliance and have also established a base city on Monster Planet. We are a peace-loving species."
"Then what is it you want from me?"
"I’d like to purchase from Mr. Qin Shou the strongest parasitic biological weapon, which Mr. Qin Shou refers to as battle armor."
Qin Shou raised his brows—this guy managed to recognize that battle armor’s essence was parasitic monsters. As expected of alien life.
"Isn’t Drue Planet a peace-loving planet? What do you need battle armor for?"
Yale maintained his smile, "Being peace-loving doesn’t mean we’ll let ourselves be slaughtered, Mr. Qin Shou. As someone experiencing a monster disaster on Earth, you should understand my meaning."
Qin Shou narrowed his eyes slightly, "You want battle armor? I can grant you a purchase qualification."
"No, no, no, Mr. Qin Shou. I’ve seen the golden battle armor you use yourself. What I want is the strongest battle armor, not the cheaper ones."
Qin Shou chuckled inwardly—big appetite, huh.
"Fine, I can sell you the strongest battle armor, but what’s in it for me?"
Yale raised one finger, "One Constant Star Energy Crystal!"
Qin Shou sneered, "One Constant Star Energy Crystal? Do you think I’m begging for alms?"
With that, he decisively hung up and quickly called Su Liang’s communicator.
"Mr. Su, what is a Constant Star Energy Crystal?" he asked directly.
At the time, Su Liang was teaching his students in class. Seeing Qin Shou suddenly ask about this, he looked surprised.
"Why are you asking about that?"
"Mr. Su, it’s urgent. Please tell me what a Constant Star Energy Crystal is," Qin Shou replied urgently.
In business, it’s all about taking the initiative.
"Oh, Constant Star Energy Crystals are energy barytes left behind after a star’s explosion. The energy they contain is thousands of times greater than that of Earth Core Energy Crystals, and the energy is extremely pure, highly beneficial to Unbreakable Realm cultivation."
"They’re also an indispensable material for manufacturing the breakthrough potion for the Unbreakable Realm..."
Before Su Liang could finish, the communicator went dead.
"That kid, so rude!" Su Liang shook his head, chuckling.
...
In the room, Qin Shou had just hung up on Su Liang when Yale reached out again via communicator.
"Mr. Qin Shou, we can negotiate the conditions further. Please, hear me out!" Yale’s smile was no longer as composed.
Qin Shou’s expression softened, "Mr. Yale, in business terms, to be honest, offering one Constant Star Energy Crystal makes things a bit difficult."
Yale tentatively asked, "Mr. Qin Shou, what’s your bottom price?"
Qin Shou raised one finger.
"Up the price—one hundred Constant Star Energy Crystals!"
"What?!" Yale exclaimed in shock.
