Chapter 1493 - Gauging His Bottom Line
Chapter 1493 Gauging His Bottom Line
Meng Chao seemed to be somewhat subdued by the veteran Reaper’s aura.
After a long while, he unwillingly said, “Fifty boxes is too little. Can’t the number go up any further?”
The veteran Reaper laughed.
“I knew it. My friend is a smart person. We can keep trading for a long time.”
The veteran Reaper said, “If you want to convert all the dragon eggs into the dragon elephant bone-strengthening drug, you need many of them at once, which will cause the market to fluctuate. Of course, the quantity cannot rise.
“However, if you convert some of the dragon elephant bone-strengthening drugs into other cultivation resources, which are hard currency of the same value, the quantity and variety can be discussed.
“To be honest, I don’t suggest that you exchange all of them for fifty boxes of dragon elephant bone-strengthening drugs. The quantity is too much and the volume is too big. It’ll be easy for people to target you.
“If someone finds out that you have so many dragon elephant bone-strengthening drugs in your house and you claim that you’re not hoarding them, nobody will believe you, will they?
“Therefore, I suggest that you exchanged thirty of them for Dragon Blood Essence, which is smaller, denser, and more valuable. According to the current market price, you can exchange thirty for ten boxes of the essence. What do you think?”
Dragon Blood Essence was different from a dragon egg. It was a high-energy substance that was extracted from the blood of flood dragon monsters.
Flood dragon-type monsters were born powerful. Even the weakest existences in their race were usually Hell Beasts.
As for the leader of the race, he could easily enter the ranks of Apocalyptic Beasts.
Using the dragon blood essence to cultivate could help earth realm experts greatly increase their chances of breaking through to the Heaven Realm. The range of application was rather wide.
Therefore, there was a daily shortage in the transcendental tower. The price on the black market remained high
“In other words, this dragon egg can be exchanged for twenty boxes of dragon elephant bone-strengthening injections and ten boxes of Dragon Blood Essence?”
Meng Chao was somewhat tempted.
The veteran Reaper nodded with a smile.
“I-I still want five bottles of blue spirit nerve regeneration fluid!”
Meng Chao showed the scar on his right arm to the veteran Reaper. He looked like a greedy snake swallowing an elephant. “Twenty boxes of dragon elephant bone-strengthening injection, ten boxes of dragon blood essence, and five bottles of blue spirit nerve repair liquid. This dragon egg is yours!
“Otherwise, I’d rather go somewhere else and try my luck. At worst, I’ll use low-grade materials to refine substitutes and treat them conservatively. I Won’t cultivate for the next ten days to half a month!”
The scar on his right arm was extremely deep.
It was obvious that his nerves had been injured.
And the blue spirit nerve repair liquid was the most effective nerve repair medicine that mid-level to low-level superhumans could come into contact with.
Such an offer did not exceed the expectations of the veteran Reaper.
However, he still revealed a troubled expression.
He brought the dragon egg over and studied it carefully for a long time.
He took out his calculator and made a series of crackling sounds. He even walked to a corner and put his palm to his mouth. He made two phone calls in a low voice as if he was asking for instructions from the big boss, Giant-toothed Crocodile.
In the end, he hung up the phone respectfully. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief. He walked back with a bright smile on his face. “Alright. Today, I’ll make you a friend on behalf of the giant-toothed shark!”
Even though Meng Chao used the super hearing ability of a Deity Realm warrior to discover that none of the two phone calls just now had been made to Giant-toothed Crocodile.
However, he still revealed a look of joy.
The next second, he nervously asked, “When can I get the goods?”
“Now.”
The veteran Reaper smiled. “The goods will be in your hands in five minutes.”
“So soon? No, there won’t be any problem?”
Meng Chao is suspicious, “Make sure it is the original product?”
“There are anti-counterfeiting labels and QR codes on them. You can take them to the original counter for inspection.”
The veteran Reaper said, “It’s still the same. No matter how much you brag about genetic medicine, it won’t work. In the end, it still depends on word of mouth and the effect.
“Go outside and find out if Giant-toothed Crocodile’s signboard is bright or hard.
“Yes, a lot of people say that we raised the price too much, but when did you hear people say that our goods are not the right ones and that we make them up as inferior goods?
“To put it bluntly, black market trading is a shady business to begin with. If we were to create fake sales and disrupt the market, we would have long been dismembered by the super companies behind the major pharmaceutical manufacturers and turned into ashes!”
In fact, it did not take five minutes.
Four minutes and thirty-six seconds later, three long and two short knocks came from the box’s wall next door.
Under the signal of the veteran Reaper, Meng Chao walked into the box next door alone.
There was no one in the box.
But the dining table was full of leftovers.
In the corner, there were two bulging camouflage tactical backpacks.
At first glance, they looked like they were left behind by the previous table of diners.
Even if they were discovered, this private restaurant and the veteran Reaper could completely separate themselves.
Meng Chao stepped forward and unzipped the zipper.
He discovered that the seals were intact. The QR code was clear, and the packaging was extremely exquisite. There was even a faint trace of a strange fragrance coming from the gene reagent.
He tore open the plastic membrane and took out the gene reagent that came with a syringe. Not only were there fine details on it, but there was also a trademark that looked like a laser relief sculpture. There was also the signature of a Deity Realm warrior.
Due to the uniqueness of the gene reagent, even if it was the original product, it was difficult to guarantee that everyone would have the same effect after taking it.
Therefore, the grade and authenticity of the gene reagent became a problem that troubled both consumers and manufacturers.
In order to improve their brand image, many pharmaceutical manufacturers would hire Deity Realm warriors as spokespersons.
It was equivalent to using a Deity Realm warrior’s reputation as a guarantee for a certain genetic medicine.
This kind of brand image spokesperson was completely different from the brand image spokespersons on Earth.
Once a problem with the genetic medicine appeared, a Deity Realm warrior would really fly into a rage and rush into the office of the general manager and chairman of the pharmaceutical manufacturers, slamming them into the ground.
Similarly, no one dared to sign on fake gene reagents using a Deity Realm warrior’s name.
Otherwise, even if they escaped to the ends of the Earth, they would be caught by that Deity Realm warrior and his disciples as well as grand-disciples.
Seeing the Deity Realm warrior’s signature, Meng Chao was finally relieved.
He fastened the two camouflage army backpacks tightly, one at the front and one at the back, and tied them to his body.
His original backpack was placed horizontally at his waist.
He patted the three backpacks with a face full of red light and was about to return with a full load.
The veteran Reaper could not hold it in anymore and said with a smile, “Wait, friend, I see that you brought more than one dragon
egg?”
“I won’t sell it for the time being!”
Meng Chao did not hide anything and said casually, “These gene reagents are enough for me to cultivate for a while. When the limelight is not so tight and the black markets are reopened, I will come back to trade!”
The veteran Reaper rolled his eyes. “This…”
“What?”
Meng Chao’s face darkened, his killing intent erupting like a mountain flood. “Can’t you do it? Don’t tell me you want to buy and sell by force?”
“No, no, no, of course not. Don’t misunderstand, Friend.”
The veteran Reaper hurriedly said, “Of course you can. It’s just that the first time is new, and the second time is familiar. Next time when you still need cultivation resources, you don’t need to trouble your friend to go to the monster market. You can contact me directly. There will be an absolute discount.”
The veteran Reaper gave Meng Chao a beautifully made card that smelled like it had been soaked in genetic medicine.
There was only one number on it.
Meng Chao placed the card under the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly. A playful glint flashed in his eyes.
He stuffed the card into his pocket, wiped his mouth, and Strode out of the private restaurant.
The veteran Reaper stood beside the fence on the fifth floor’s atrium and watched Meng Chao leave.
It was not until Meng Chao’s figure disappeared into the bustling crowd that he said to his underlings who had quietly appeared behind him, “Follow the scent and chase after him. Feel this kid’s background.”
The underlings, who had fierce expressions and looked like hunting dogs, nodded at the same time.
Then, they also disappeared into the crowd.
The southern area of the city was a typical old city district that was filled with the atmosphere of the mortal world.
Recently, Dragon City had been carrying out a large-scale renovation of the old city. Scaffolding was everywhere, pile drivers were everywhere, tower cranes were everywhere, and construction materials were piled up everywhere. It was completely unrecognizable. The labyrinth was complex and noisy. Even the old neighbors who had lived here for decades would easily get lost if they accidentally entered a construction site.
Giant-toothed Crocodile’s subordinates were all professionals.
When they arrived, they all put on their work clothes and safety helmets and even made themselves dirty. They were as exhausted as if they had just finished a whole day’s hard work.
Some people were not far or close behind Meng Chao.
Some people took a shortcut and went in front of Meng Chao, pretending to be organizing the equipment on the construction site.
He made sure that at least two pairs of eyes were fixed on Meng Chao, leaving no blind spots.
Meng Chao did not seem to have noticed the stalker.
He walked slowly toward the depths of the shabby alley.
However, when he passed a corner with a dust-proof screen, he did not come out from the next corner.
Cold sweat immediately broke out on the heads of the casual stalkers.
The cursing of the veteran Reaper could be heard through the mini headphones.
One of the stalkers braced himself and went forward to check without caring about exposing his identity.
However, he found that the dust-proof screen was intact. Even the dust that was evenly stained on it showed no signs of being damaged.
The refreshing fragrance that was emitted from the card that the veteran Reaper gave Meng Chao ended here.
It was as if a crack had suddenly appeared in the space around the corner. It was as if an invisible bloody mouth had swallowed Meng Chao whole.
“This is impossible!”
Everyone was in a state of disbelief and shock.
One of the stalkers, who was crouching behind a pile of construction waste, suddenly felt a strong gust of wind behind his head.
The aura of death instantly froze into an icicle and pierced into his bones, causing the blood in his body to freeze. It was exactly the same feeling he had when he was ambushed by the ferocious Hell Beasts in the depths of the forest!
