Chapter 32 - The Mysterious Bai Ye! Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand in Hand!
He had considered the possibility that Yin copper coins might be very popular, but Lin Yu never expected that these would make everyone so envious!
Moreover, these ghost controllers, like the ghosts in those horror dungeons, were clearly filled with awe towards him!
The price had already approached six thousand each. In other words… this thousand Yin copper coins was worth at least over five million!
Lin Yu was feeling a bit dazed!
He had so easily obtained five million!
That’s enough to buy a house outright in Hecheng!!!
Looking at the eager crowd, Lin Yu was also somewhat troubled.
There were too many buyers, and each person’s offer was very tempting, so simply going with the highest bid didn’t seem appropriate!
While Lin Yu was in a dilemma, a figure wearing a golden mask, adorned with gorgeous red patterns, appeared not far behind him.
It was a graceful figure in a white qipao, with a curvy silhouette that sparked the imagination, but the human skin lantern in her hand, glowing with a bluish-white light, made those “imaginations” remain just that!
The intense Yin energy emanating from that lantern felt almost tangible!
“Everyone, quiet.” The qipao-clad woman holding the lantern said, and the scene instantly fell silent.
The three senior players responsible for the appraisals also stood up, the one in the middle slightly nodding to her.
“Bai Ye.”
Upon hearing the three address her, Lin Yu was slightly shocked.
This was actually the person who could command evil spirits at the gate and co-founded the forum with the other two!
It turned out to be a young woman!
Lin Yu was quite astonished but still gave her a gentle nod in greeting.
The woman nicknamed “Bai Ye” also nodded in return, then looked at the thousand Yin copper coins on the table.
“Consistent Yin copper coins, ‘Emperor of Fengdu’… Sir, selling such good things at an offline trading fair is a bit of a waste,” Bai Ye spoke.
Her voice was unprocessed, cool and clear, sounding full of the calmness of a master.
Lin Yu didn’t back down, merely smiling slightly.
“I’ve encountered some urgent matters recently, and I’m a bit short on cash.” Bai Ye nodded, showing no hesitation.
“Seven million five hundred thousand in cash, I’ll buy this batch from you, as a friend representing the forum in my capacity as ‘Bai Ye’,” as she said this, many ghost controllers in the audience revealed envious looks.
Bai Ye, one of the founders of the forum, was one of the few in Xia Country who controlled two evil spirits!
It was rumored that she was at the peak of the sixth rank of ghost controlling!
She could step into the seventh rank at any time and command a ferocious ghost!
The human skin lantern she held was also a high-grade offensive Yin artifact!
Her “friendship” was almost equivalent to a life-saving talisman!
In horror games, after completing three dungeons, ghost controllers could become “friends” and “team up”!
If they teamed up with strong individuals like Bai Ye in horror dungeons… their survival chances would be greatly increased!
At the same time, because of this, they had no intention of competing with Bai Ye!
And seven million five hundred thousand was already over double the price…
Even if they bid normally, they couldn’t buy at such a price!
Hearing what she said, Lin Yu nodded. “Alright, as expected of Bai Ye, your offer is indeed generous.”
He gathered the Yin copper coins, restrung them, and handed them over to Bai Ye.
The other party was a prominent figure with a strong presence, so Lin Yu wasn’t worried about her defaulting.
Bai Ye took the Yin copper coins and shook the human skin lantern in her hand,
“Swallowing gold toad, swallowing gold toad, bringing in wealth with no outflow,” she whispered softly, her voice imbued with a peculiar power, reminiscent of ancient incantations chanted by shamans during rituals to summon spirits.
The bluish-white light flickered, and a thick blue smoke of Yin energy billowed from the human skin lantern, a ghostly bronze toad’s shadow flashed through the dense smoke, spitting out a suitcase, which was wrapped in Yin energy and flew towards Lin Yu.
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow slightly. He could feel the Yin energy in the resentment necklace filling up, as if it sensed some threat, but Lin Yu wasn’t worried either.
“Zhu Jiao,” he said this as a surge of black smoke appeared behind him, a tall, vague figure emerged behind him, extending a hand to disperse the toxic Yin energy wrapping around the suitcase, catching it.
Lin Yu opened the suitcase, looking at the neatly stacked bright red Xia currency inside without counting,
“Pleasure doing business, Bai Ye,” he said with a smile.
Bai Ye glanced at him meaningfully, tossed the Yin copper coins into the human skin lantern,
the toad’s tongue flicked, drawing the Yin copper coins inside, then Bai Ye shook the lantern, her figure once again disappearing from the spot.
“The offline trading fair officially begins!” just before her figure completely vanished, her voice echoed through the abandoned factory!
