Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Chen Xinru Calls
Ye Chen nodded, took out some Earth Tier and higher items that weren’t very useful to him from his backpack, and placed them on the table.
"Let’s sell these things here first!"
Although he wasn’t very knowledgeable about business, he knew that for a store to make a name for itself, it must have standout items.
A store without good stuff will attract no customers and leave no lasting impression!
Among the items Ye Chen gave to Elder Wu was a Six Stars Legendary Level weapon, and it was LV55!
This weapon was the one the Pill Master had brought from Orn; previously, the Pill Master used it there.
Now that the Pill Master had the Fiery Sun Divine Bow, this item wasn’t useful to him anymore.
When Xiao Fan saw the weapon, his pupils contracted.
"Wow, a Six Stars Legendary Level weapon, just given away like that! Just how deep are Ye Chen’s pockets?"
Previously, Xiao Fan thought he was quite wealthy, but now, compared to Ye Chen, there was no comparison at all!
After all, he would never give away a Six Stars Legendary Level weapon!
Elder Wu trembled uncontrollably when he saw these items.
"My God! These things! They’re all premium goods!"
Elder Wu almost exclaimed, "Holy crap!"
Hiss!
Elder Wu took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said, "Alright, Lord Ye Chen, once these items are sold, I’ll set the Gold Coins aside and hand them to you the next time we meet!"
"Hmm!"
Elder Wu carefully prepared to put the items away, as that weapon would become the store’s prized treasure!
There was no need to worry about it being stolen here, with the Chosen Alliance offering protection!
Just as Elder Wu was about to put things away, an exclamation came from outside the door!
"Holy crap! Earth Stone! You actually have Earth Stone here!"
A person, overwhelmed with emotion, ran over, practically stumbling in excitement.
With eyes unable to contain the excitement: "Boss! How much for the Earth Stone?"
Passersby were also drawn to the commotion.
Looking at the items on the table, they each became excited.
"Damn! There’s Light of Glaze here! I’ve searched countless places, visited numerous trading companies, ran my legs off and still couldn’t find it, and not even the Divine Land Trading Company had it. Yet this tiny shop has such an item! Damn! It’s truly a heaven-sent opportunity! Even if I have to sell everything I have today, I’m buying it!"
With a crowd already on the street, they quickly gathered around, some so zealous as though they were men starved of affection for years, seeing a woman and going wild.
Some initially came to watch the excitement but became extremely thrilled upon seeing items they had long sought but never found.
In no time, the door of the Chenxin Trading Company was tightly packed.
Elder Wu quickly called over some staff to help.
Ye Chen pulled Xiao Fan out from the crowd.
"These people are truly crazy!" Ye Chen remarked, breathing in the fresh air.
Xiao Fan rolled his eyes: "I think the crazy one should be you, dumping all those treasures there, as if they aren’t valuable, really!"
Xiao Fan suddenly felt at a loss for words.
Ye Chen laughed: "Haha, Brother Xiao Fan, you’re joking. Shall we still visit the Divine Land Trading Company?"
Xiao Fan glanced at a building at the center of the street.
That building stood out conspicuously on the street.
Other trading companies had only two floors, with storefronts of just two sections alike.
But the Divine Land Trading Company had seven floors, with each floor as vast as fifteen stores combined, and its traditional architecture style, lit up with dazzling lights in the dark night.
Truly worthy of being the number one trading company, it exuded boldness.
At eight o’clock, the street was bustling, lively as ever, with crowds streaming by.
Some even set up stalls along the road, shouting for attention.
The Chosen Alliance turned a blind eye to this.
Though the Chosen Alliance was domineering, they’d never attack the weak!
Despite the lively scene, the Divine Land Trading Company had its doors tightly shut.
Xiao Fan stretched and said, "It’s closed, we can’t get in, forget it, let’s find a place to rest, come back tomorrow morning."
Ye Chen followed Xiao Fan to a nearby inn, got two single rooms, and lodged there.
In this place, there were no deserted houses.
Not long after lying down, Ye Chen’s Monster Chat Room sounded; it was a video call from Chen Ruxin.
Ye Chen chose to answer.
Chen Ruxin, evidently just finished washing up, still had light droplets of water on her crystalline, slightly flushed skin.
At that moment, Chen Ruxin was wearing just a bathrobe, loosely wrapped above her chest, revealing her delicate shoulders, with her collarbones clearly visible.
She looked every bit the image of a beauty emerging from the bath.
Chen Ruxin grinned sweetly and said, "Did you go to the First Region?"
Ye Chen nodded.
Chen Ruxin pouted, "If I had known you were going, I wouldn’t have gone back the day before yesterday. You didn’t even say a word."
Chen Ruxin’s tone carried a hint of grievance.
"I, I came unexpectedly, there were some things to attend to here."
"Alright, thank you for today. If it weren’t for you, the store couldn’t have opened."
While brushing her hair, Chen Ruxin added.
"What for? I’m a part of that store too, putting in effort is expected, right?"
The hand brushing her hair suddenly paused, and Chen Ruxin chuckled with eyes full of warmth: "True, you’re also a shareholder, a big boss after all."
Ye Chen laughed along.
"And, I’m telling you, you should know the rule of not flaunting your wealth; in a place like that, a young boy bringing out so many items, all of them precious, were you afraid others wouldn’t know you were a walking treasure trove? What if someone harbors ill intentions towards you?"
Chen Ruxin’s tone carried both scolding and concern.
"I understand, I won’t do it again."
"Hmph!"
Chen Ruxin gave a soft snort.
The two of them started chatting about everyday matters.
Suddenly, Chen Ruxin stopped speaking, staring intently at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen felt somewhat unnerved by her gaze: "What’s wrong?"
"What’s that sound on your end?"
Chen Ruxin asked word by word, her tone full of questioning.
Ye Chen looked around: "I don’t hear anything."
"A woman’s moaning, I heard it, be honest, what are you doing!"
Ye Chen was immediately stunned, holding his breath to listen.
The room instantly fell silent.
"Uh~"
Sure enough, that sound came through, and it was coming from the room next to Ye Chen’s.
Ye Chen’s face flushed instantly: "The sound’s from next door."
"I don’t believe it! Show me your room, see if you’re hiding someone!"
Ye Chen had to turn the camera around to show Chen Ruxin the surroundings.
Seeing no one, Chen Ruxin finally said, "That’s more like it. Let me tell you, don’t mess around outside, it’s not clean!"
"I know, I’m not that kind of person, how could I!"
Ye Chen felt a bit speechless, truly, women were naturally such suspicious creatures!
