Chapter 56: Luo's Determination and Bing Zhi Xie's Friendship

Bing Zhi Xie held the knight's spear, which was almost twice his height, and he looked a bit like a fool.

Duo Er was also surprised, thinking to himself, "Is he that rich?"

The shop owner was almost ecstatic. He had spent almost half of his savings, 30,000 gold, to buy this spear from someone else. He had planned to sell it for 60,000 gold, and even if he couldn't get 60,000, 40,000 would be fine, so he was eager to sell it quickly. He never expected that two fools would come and keep raising the price, and in the end, it sold for 120,000 gold. He had made a profit of 90,000 gold.

What does 90,000 gold mean? If you consider that Yilina's father earns a basic salary of 100 gold, it would take 100 years to earn 120,000 gold. The shop owner was almost ecstatic.

Bing Zhi Xie said, "Boss..."

"What?" The shop owner quickly clutched his pocket and said, "I tell you, no returns once the item is sold."

Bing Zhi Xie shook his head and said, "No, don't you want to check if the gold notes are fake?"

This reminded the shop owner, and his face changed. He hurriedly took out the gold notes and infused them with magic to check if they were real. After confirming they were genuine, he sighed in relief, "You scared me to death. You... well, you're a strange kid."

"Boss," Bing Zhi Xie said again.

The shop owner said, "What? What else is fake? I told you no returns, and you can't change your mind."

Bing Zhi Xie said, "You've already checked the gold notes for authenticity. Give me a receipt."

Everyone was stunned...

Under the pointing and whispering of others, Bing Zhi Xie walked out of the weapon shop.

Not long after, Duo Er followed and said to him, "Although I am an employee of the store, I shouldn't say this, but why did you spend so much money on that spear? I'll tell you, it couldn't even be sold for 40,000 gold a while ago."

Bing Zhi Xie smiled at her and said, "Thank you for your concern, Sister Duo Er. Even so, I can't let him lose too much."

"Can't let him lose too much?" As Duo Er stared in confusion, Bing Zhi Xie disappeared into the crowd.

The thin man was still indignant about what had just happened: "That foolish kid, why did he let those unscrupulous merchants make so much money? It really makes me angry. How can he be so foolish!"

His female companion laughed and held his arm, saying, "Why are you getting angry on someone else's behalf? If they want to buy it, let them. You're really something."

The thin man said, "Hmph, I just want to give that stupid idiot a beating to wake him up."

"Hey, Shiwela, who do you want to beat up again? Who made you angry?" Eshura and Selt walked over, "Is it someone who's teasing your beautiful and lovely Miss Dodoris?"

Dodoris greeted them, "Why are the two of you from the Imperial Capital's Three Princes here? Do you still need to buy things here?"

Eshura laughed, "Why would a lady from the Beji family, Miss Dodoris, come here with her boyfriend? If someone recognized you, it would cause a commotion. Shiwela, I really envy you. When will I have a girlfriend as beautiful as yours?"

Shiwela told them about what happened in the store.

Eshura said, "You're not a knight, why did you buy a spear?"

"Can't non-knights use it?" Shiwela said, "Actually, I thought the spear was nice and wanted to give it to her brother. Unfortunately..."

Dodoris kissed him on the cheek, "Even though you didn't buy it, I appreciate your thoughtfulness."

"Hey, hey," Selt said, "In public, do you want to see Eshura go crazy?"

They all chuckled.

Selt said, "A spear worth 100,000 gold should be a good one. I almost want to see it. But it only cost 20,000 more, which isn't much." He thought of the sword Bimoye bought, which was worth at least 30,000 gold but only cost 10,000. Compared to the spear that Shiwela and Dodoris thought was worth 100,000 gold, it was far inferior.

"Although it's not much, it still makes me angry," Shiwela said.

Dodoris laughed, "He acts as if the money spent is his own."

The pharmacy, with various potions and pills, the shop with various small items and props, and the stalls and stores selling magic crystals were all crowded with people.

The bustling crowd jostled each other. Even though Bing Zhi Xie was small and agile, carrying such a large spear made it difficult for him to squeeze out of the commercial district. He thought about it and decided to store the spear in the World Bank for now, as carrying it around was inconvenient. He could come back to get it when he needed it.

"Bing Zhi Xie!" Konelia waved to him, "Can you help me carry something?"

Bing Zhi Xie walked over and looked at the large and small packages they were holding, asking, "Didn't you buy these tools yesterday? Why are you buying them again?"

"It's our roommates. They said they didn't get a mission yesterday, so they went to try again today and asked us to buy these things for them," Yilina said, hanging a few bags on his outstretched hand. She saw the spear in his arms and asked, "Hey, what's that?"

Bing Zhi Xie said, "It's a weapon I bought."

"You bought a weapon?" Yilina looked at the spear and then at Bing Zhi Xie, suddenly bursting into laughter, "You're killing me. It's taller than you. How are you going to use it? Hahaha... You're so short, you should use a shorter weapon."

Bing Zhi Xie was indeed very short, shorter than Luo and Vien, and even shorter than Konelia and Yilina by half a head, possibly because girls develop earlier.

Vien and Luo ran over, out of breath. Before they could speak, they bought a large cup of ice water from a nearby stall and drank it all in one gulp. Before they finished, they were already holding their heads and sitting on the ground, looking very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Konelia asked.

Luo held his head and waved his hand, taking a deep breath before saying, "I drank too fast, and it gave me a headache."

"Idiot, being with Vien has made you stupid," Yilina said.

Vien got angry, "You're the one who's stupid, Yilina the idiot, Yilina the ostrich..."

"..." Luo saw the spear in Bing Zhi Xie's arms and suddenly jumped up, snatching the spear from his arms, "This... This is the spear from that store!! Yes, yes, it's the one!" Luo held the spear, extremely excited, his hands trembling, "The spear I've always dreamed of, it's great, it's great."

Everyone saw Luo's excited state...

Vien leaned in to look at the blood-red spear, "It seems to be a good weapon!"

"Right, right, that's it. This is my favorite spear, my dream treasure," Luo said happily, completely forgetting that it belonged to Bing Zhi Xie.

Konelia, being from a noble family, had seen many good things. She stepped forward and touched the spear, "I didn't notice it earlier, but this spear is indeed good. Such a good thing must be expensive. How much did it cost?"

"40,000, 40,000 gold," Luo said, holding up four fingers, then suddenly paused, remembering that the spear was from Bing Zhi Xie.

Vien and the others noticed that Luo's expression had changed, looking very serious, and they fell silent.

Luo stood there, looking at Bing Zhi Xie, "You bought the spear."

"Right."

"How much did it cost?"

"120,000," Bing Zhi Xie said.

"120,000!" Yilina and Vien's hearts skipped a beat.

Konelia muttered, "120,000, that's quite expensive!"

"Not just quite expensive, it's a fortune, a fortune!!" Vien and Yilina whispered.

Luo clenched his fists and said slowly, "I want to ask you for something... Sell it to me!"

"Hmm?" Bing Zhi Xie squinted his eyes.

Vien shouted, "Sell it to you? Luo, do you have that much money? 120,000 gold, not 12 silver coins. Did you hear that clearly?"

Luo usually haggled over the price of a little fruit and worked hard to earn a little more. Even when a silver coin fell into a ditch, he would pick it up. Such a person wouldn't seem to have 120,000 gold.

"I don't have it now," Luo said, "But I really want this spear. I don't have the money now, but when I earn it, I will definitely give you 120,000 gold! No, I'll give you double! So, please, sell it to me..."

"120,000 gold?" Yilina tapped his head, "Do you know how much 120,000 gold is? You must be confused. 120,000, how can you earn that much? My father works in the city government, and even without other income, it would take 100 years to earn 120,000 gold. Do you know that it takes 100 years?"

Luo planted the spear on the ground and shouted, "I know, but so what? I'm determined to get this spear! Whether it's working or being a mercenary, I will definitely earn enough gold, and I will pay you back with interest. So, Bing Zhi Xie, please sell me this spear!"

Bing Zhi Xie said calmly, "No."

Everyone was taken aback, not expecting him to refuse so directly.

Luo asked, "Why? Why won't you sell it to me?"

Bing Zhi Xie looked at him and said, "If it's a transaction, I don't want to do a losing deal. Although you're determined to buy this spear, earning 120,000 gold is too risky. I won't do a deal that's unlikely to happen."

"No, Bing Zhi Xie, I will definitely earn it..."

"But..." Bing Zhi Xie lowered his hat and leaned against the wall, "If you want it, I can give it to you."

"...120,000 gold for you..." Luo was still talking, but he was stunned by Bing Zhi Xie's last words.

Konelia and Yilina were shocked, "Give!?"

Vien pinched his fist and hit his head a few times, "Did I hear that right?"

Luo was also surprised, "How can I accept that? Such a valuable thing, I..."

"I will never sell the spear. If you insist on buying it, consider what I said just now as nothing," Bing Zhi Xie said firmly, "I will never sell this spear."

Luo didn't dare to speak further about buying the spear and said after a while, "But, why...?"

Bing Zhi Xie smiled, "You helped me, didn't
