Chapter 158 The price is low
After the familiar feeling of weightlessness, Bo Jing finally stepped onto the smooth floor of the mission center again.

Lin Zhijing followed closely behind, adjusting the silver-rimmed glasses on his nose.

Yi Yang and Ji Jiangci then escorted Ye Xi'an out of the spatial portal, one on each side.

The lobby of the Main God Star Mission Center was bustling with people, and various information screens were flashing. The noisy atmosphere made everyone feel very at ease.

"Get rid of the excess dream stones first."

Ye Xi'an spoke, his voice carrying a hint of excitement at the prospect of returning home.

Lin Zhijing glanced around the bustling mission hall and said, "Just take out a portion; such a large number of Dream Stones might attract unwanted attention."

"What about the rest?" We can't just sell them later, that would be too much trouble.

"We can sell them online."

Ye Xi'an's eyes lit up, and she asked Lin Zhijing, "Does it mean opening a shop?"

Seeing Ye Xi'an's excited expression, Lin Zhijing couldn't help but want to kiss her, but since they were outside, he was able to restrain himself.

"Yes, that's about right. We'll contact the courier station later, and then we'll be able to sell things from home."

Having found a way to sell Dream Stones, Ye Xi'an was no longer in a hurry to sell them to the mission center. He casually took out a Dream Stone block about the height of a person from his spatial storage and placed it in the machine's basket.

Although she had taken out very few dream stones, she still attracted the attention of some orcs around her.

After all, it's been a long time since anyone has found a Dream Stone.

While waiting for the system to appraise the value, an orc quickly approached. The orc was dressed in a black and gold uniform, with a dazzling diamond chain hanging from his waist. He also had a silver line drawn horizontally along the bridge of his nose, giving him a very high-tech look.

"May I buy some Dream Stone from you? I only need a small piece."

The orc clenched his fist to show Ye Xi'an, his movements somewhat hesitant, since he couldn't afford anything any bigger.

He can buy the Dream Stone to please the female he likes and then join her family.

Ye Xi'an took out another piece without hesitation, but it was larger than the orc had said.

"How about this one?" This was the smallest dream stone she could offer.

"Um," the orc was a little embarrassed to ask if they had a smaller one, so he had to bite the bullet and ask, "How much is this one?"

Ye Xi'an was taken aback, as she didn't know the price either. So she moved closer to Ji Jiangci, who was an expert at this kind of thing: "Jiangci, how much does such a big dream stone cost?"

"Ask him if he'll buy it for 50,000."

"Fifty thousand? Isn't it too much of a rip-off to sell such a stone for fifty thousand?"

"Well, although Dream Stones were only a few thousand when I came last time, they're becoming scarcer and more valuable now. Maybe he'll buy them too. If he doesn't, you can lower the price a bit; you can't sell them cheaply."

Ye Xi'an's lips twitched, her face showing the look of someone looking at a shrewd businessman. Luckily, Ji Jiangci was from her family, otherwise, if they ran into each other in the future, her family would be ripped off by Ji Jiangci.

Ye Xi'an raised his hand, holding up five slender fingers in front of the orc: "Fifty thousand, do you want it?"

The orc's previously cheerful expression froze for a moment. Ye Xi'an thought his price was too high and had scared the orc away. Just as he was about to lower the price, the orc said impatiently, "Yes, yes, yes!"

The orc's face broke into a smile again, his mouth stretching almost to the back of his head: "I'll pay right now!" he said, speaking very quickly, as if afraid Ye Xi'an would regret it the next second.

Even the orcs watching the spectacle were tempted after hearing the price Ye Xi'an quoted.

Ji Jiangci's somewhat aged eyebrows furrowed slightly, and for the first time, he doubted the price he had quoted.

After paying, the orc looked at the dream stone in his hand in disbelief. He had actually bought such a large dream stone for only 50,000. Had he struck gold today?

"Excuse me, may I buy a little more?" the orc asked, his eyes shining, clearly pleased with himself for getting a good deal.

Ji Jiangci stepped forward and stood in front of Ye Xi'an. His appearance was gone, and he couldn't let even this last bit of his usefulness be wasted.

“My wife kindly sold you that dream stone earlier. If you want to buy it now, it will be at the normal market price.” Ji Jiangci took a dream stone, only half the size of his palm, from Ye Xi’an and said to the orc, “But my wife is kind, so she can give you a discount. What’s your acceptable range?”

The orc tentatively suggested a price: "Two hundred thousand?"

Ji Jiangci's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, the price he quoted just now was way too cheap.

Ji Jiangci took back the dream stone and decisively said, "I'm not selling it."

"Wow! Two hundred and fifty thousand!"

Ji Jiangci remained unmoved and quietly waited for the system to make a bid.

The moment the price was announced, everyone in the Ye Xi'an family froze.

Ye Xi'an numbly counted the zeros: "Is this a hundred million?"

"Yes," Yi Yang swallowed hard, then transformed into a Labrador and ran off.

"What a promising young man." Bo Jing silently picked up the clothes that Yi Yang had dropped on the ground after transforming back into his beast form, but his hands were trembling incessantly.

Ji Jiangci lowered his head and apologized to Ye Xi'an, his gentle and aged face showing some vulnerability: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect the price of Dream Stone to inflate so quickly."

"Oh, what's the big deal?" Ye Xi'an took it all in stride. In fact, with her current strength, she had no choice but to be open-minded, since she possessed a dream stone the size of a palace. This little thing was really beneath her notice.

"But aren't we rich now?"

How many billions would all those Dream Stones be worth? Did she have some kind of cheat code?

Lin Zhijing smiled and rubbed Ye Xi'an's head: "Yes, but I guess you won't be able to sell all those dream stones for a while. There are too many, and the market can't accept them. Besides, if you sell too many, the price of dream stones will drop again."

"Can I sell them all to the mission center?"

“No.” Lin Zhijing pointed to the collection progress on the screen, where the collection limits for various ores were displayed, one of which was Dream Stone.

Dream Stone collection progress: 5/100.

"Once the deadline is reached, they won't accept any more."

"That's alright, I'll just max out his progress first."

After Ye Xi'an maxed out the progress of Dream Stone, his account had an extra 20 billion.

Throughout the journey, Ye Xi'an's smile never faded. This life of sudden wealth was too wonderful; she was even having some trouble digesting it for a moment.

"Are we going home?" Bo Jing asked, standing next to Ye Xi'an.

"Let's go to Sister Qiu Yi's place first."

Ye Xi'an opened his personal terminal and sent a message to Qiu Yi.

Ye Xi'an: Sister Qiu Yi, are you home?

Qiu Yi: Yes.

Ye Xi'an: I'm coming to find you!

Qiu Yi: Okay.

Ye Xi'an put away her personal terminal, pouting. What a cold and aloof rich woman.

They arrived at Qiu Yi's mansion.

A female, dressed in a smart black and white training uniform and with a tall and straight posture, stood in front of the gate. She had short, neat black hair, sharp eyes, and an aura that kept strangers at bay.

It was Qiu Yi.
