Chapter 123 The Shady Merchant Recognizes Treasure

It was late at night when Shi Bao returned.

"Why are you back?"

Stephen Chow was still playing on his phone when he saw Shi Bao float in through the window and couldn't help but ask.

"Everyone was asleep, so it was pointless to keep staring and I came back."

Shi Bao stopped on the table and said nonchalantly.

"Your surveillance is unprofessional. Other people do it 24/7 without rest."

Stephen Chow was speechless, but he figured he might as well not keep an eye on things, since he probably wouldn't be able to tell anything anyway.

"Who says I'm not professional! I took a ton of photos!"

"Photos? What photos?"

"It's about that Tingyun, of course."

"Take it and take a look."

"1 credits for 1 card".

"Why do you want more money?"

"Otherwise, this is the fruit of my labor. Who would work for you for free?"

Shi Bao said confidently.

That makes a lot of sense.

Stephen Chow couldn't help but nod.

"How many are there?"

"13 pictures."

"Okay, I'll take them all."

"The total will cost 20."

"Why is it more expensive if I buy more? Shouldn't it be 13 tickets for 10?"

Stephen Chow typed a question mark; this was the first time he had ever seen a reverse discount.

"Buy it or don't! These are all extremely valuable photos. You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't buy them."

Shi Bao is arrogant and seems very confident about this set of photos.

But Stephen Chow is the type who responds better to gentle persuasion than force; he said, "It's just a photo, I'm not looking at it."

Shi Bao noticed that Stephen Chow was playing on his phone without saying anything, which made Shi Bao anxious.

But not wanting to lose 10 yuan for nothing, he thought for a while and came up with a good idea.

Stephen Chow was looking at his phone when suddenly a photo floated down from the sky and landed in front of him.

The photo showed a snow-white body, a half-body shot of Tingyun taking a bath.

You can even see Tingyun soaking in the bathtub, petals falling on her raised arm, her face turned to the side, looking completely relaxed.

Although it's a photo of my back, it's enough.

The bait was straightforward, but Stephen Chow took the bait.

"20, I'll take it all."

"The price has increased by 30 now."

"Good, good... Shi Bao, you're getting better and better at business."

Zhou Xingxing couldn't help but glare at Shi Bao, and then recharged it with 30 credits.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

The remaining twelve photos were all developed and left on the table.

Stephen Chow couldn't wait to pick them up and examine them. Every single one was extremely alluring, almost like a private photo shoot.

However, as he watched, Stephen Chow became somewhat puzzled.

These angles and poses give the impression that the model is cooperating with the photographer during the shoot.

But before Stephen Chow could think about it in detail...

Suddenly, her bedroom door was pushed open, and Qiong's voice came through.

"Time for a delightful evening! We're one short for the pillow fight!"

The sound startled Stephen Chow, who hurriedly and clumsily put the photos away.

What would happen if someone saw that?

"Hmm? What are you collecting?"

This slightly flustered appearance aroused Qiong's suspicion, so she quickly moved behind Zhou Xingxing, pressed her back against his, and looked at the table.

But there was nothing on the table.

"Tell me! What were you hiding just now?"

Qiong Yi pouted, "You actually kept this from me," and immediately said with dissatisfaction.

"It's nothing, it's just... I had Shi Bao take some aerial photos of the Immortal Ship during the day, and I said I'd look for fun places to visit so I could take you there tomorrow."

Stephen Chow concocted a flawless lie in 0.0001 seconds.

"Really? Then show me an aerial view of the fairy ship."

Qiong nodded upon hearing this, but still spoke with some skepticism.

Stephen Chow quickly glanced at Shi Bao to the side and turned on the team's voice chat.

"Treasure hunter! Quickly, give me some aerial views!"

"One hundred thousand per sheet."

"Holy crap! You're taking advantage of our misfortune!"

"Do you want love~"

"You're ruthless...give me five..."

In the end, Stephen Chow gritted his teeth and bought five tickets.

咻咻 咻 ~

Five photos were developed from Shibao.

Upon seeing the photo, Stephen Chow immediately perked up and quickly showed it to Qiong.

"Look, here you are."

"Wow, this panoramic view of Luofu is truly magnificent, but it's not complete. Why are there only five photos? Luofu is so big, there should be at least a dozen. Give me a set."

Qiong took the photo and looked at it, then said with some delight.

"Huh? You want a set?"

When Stephen Chow heard this, he was stunned.

Now that Shibao, that unscrupulous merchant, is raising prices on the spot, he must be overjoyed to hear this.

"What? Can't do it?"

Qiong sensed that Stephen Chow seemed a little unwilling, and couldn't help but pout with a hint of disappointment.

"Of course! This is called 'Treasure Recognition' and I'll print it for you! Treasure Recognition, print the rest too..."

"Alright, excluding these five, there are eighteen photos left. Please scan the QR code. Once scanned successfully, ShiBao will immediately develop the photos~"

Shi Bao's tone brightened, and he immediately showed a QR code for receiving payments.

When scanning the QR code, Stephen Chow's hand holding the phone was shaking; just like that, two or three million was gone.

Indeed, lust is a double-edged sword...

The next morning, everyone gathered at Yichen Inn.

Tingyun was already waiting at the entrance, and greeted everyone when they came out.

Good morning, my benefactors.

Good morning, Miss Tingyun!

March 7th, he raised his hands and shouted.

Tingyun smiled and then looked at Zhou Xingxing.

"Why do you look so gloomy, my benefactor? Did you not sleep well last night?"

"You might not believe it, but a flying thief stole my money."

"My benefactor is quite the joker."

"Really? Who would dare to rob us?"

Qiong looked at Zhou Xingxing with a hint of disbelief.

"You probably had a nightmare. How about some coffee to perk you up?"

Bronya was about to go buy coffee when Stephen Chow stopped her.

Walter sighed softly as he saw everyone laughing and joking as if they were on vacation.

"In short, today we will follow Miss Tingyun to track down the Star Core Hunter's hiding place, so everyone must be on your guard."

"oh--!"

Tingyun looked at everyone and then began to share the analysis results of yesterday's holographic projection of the Star Core Hunter boarding the Star Dome Train.

"Therefore, the subtle mechanical sound hidden within is the key to the clue. I had the master craftsmen at the Construction Bureau analyze the sound, and the source was found to be the shipbuilding facilities at Huixing Port."

"Then let's not delay, let's head towards Starport immediately."

Qiong couldn't wait. For her, finding the Star Core Hunter wasn't a problem; they were old acquaintances.
