Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Mr. Zhao did not mind the conflict. He only asked in concern, “Young Master Jun, how much do you think this Aquatic Dragon’s Eye is worth?”

“5,250,000,” Liao Feijun answered casually.

Mr. Zhao was slightly stunned. “That’s really accurate. Do you have an explanation for it?”

“Of course I do,” Liao Feijun said calmly. “Let’s analyze the market over the past five years. Four years ago, my grandfather organized a secret auction. At that time, a single Aquatic Dragon’s Eye was worth 8,880,000. Two years ago, through the deep web, one Aquatic Dragon’s Eye was bought by a mysterious buyer for 9,250,000.

“Based on my information, there are people offering more than ten million to buy Aquatic Dragon’s Eyes in perfect condition. This item has absorbed a lot of essence from the world, and it contains a lot of spirit energy. It was also polished for over one hundred years by two different monsters.

“It’s a raw ingredient of various super medicines, and it’s hard to come by. It can help superhumans reach higher standards, increase the strength of bones, the suppleness of muscles, and turn our limbs as indomitable and firm as those of pythons. Ten million isn’t a huge sum.”

Mr. Zhao’s eyes flashed. “Then, why can our Aquatic Dragon’s Eye only sell for 5,250,000?”

“It’s simple. Those offering to buy it for ten million ask for perfect Aquatic Dragon’s Eyes, but there’s a flaw in your Aquatic Dragon’s Eye.”

Liao Feijun snapped his fingers, and a green flame shot out from his fingertips.

He brought the green flame near the Aquatic Dragon’s Eye.

In an instant, an ugly zig-zagging shadow appeared in the dazzling light from the Aquatic Dragon’s Eye.

It was just like how a scar would appear on a beauty’s face. It was incredibly piercing to the eye, and it was a regretful sight.

“This is…” Mr. Zhao’s expression changed.

Even they had not noticed this flaw.

“I reckon that you used a lightning-type killing move to finish off this Red-tailed Golden Python, so the spirit energy in the Aquatic Dragon’s Eye turned chaotic, and when you were harvesting the superbeast’s crystal core, you were too rough and knocked into things, so the spirit energy in the Aquatic Dragon’s Eye went completely haywire.

“It rushed out through this incredibly thin crack. Even though it’s difficult to tell with the naked eye, but it has already lost one-third of its spirit energy. Its condition thus has been largely affected. The effects of the medicine created with it will also be much weaker. That’s why I believe that it’s worth 5,250,000.

“Of course, if you don’t believe me, you can bring it to some place else for an appraisal. But I believe that the price will be about the same.”

Liao Feijun smiled in a relaxed and confident manner.

Mr. Zhao’s face was filled with delight and remorse.

He was happy that he managed to get a supreme grade item from the monster his group killed.

But he felt regretful that they had not properly harvested the item, and the value of the supreme grade item dropped by half!

“Who harvested this Aquatic Dragon’s Eye? Why was he so rough?” Liao Feijun asked with a frown.

Mr. Zhao thought about it and replied honestly. “Our captain harvested it himself.”

“No wonder then. You have specialists in every profession. Those who can kill might not be able to save others. You might be able to reduce monsters to mince meat, but you might not be able to harvest their organs precisely and ensure that their value is maximized. Bloody Wolf has been getting stronger very quickly. It’s time for you to look for a professional harvesting team to work alongside you,” Liao Feijun said.

Mr. Zhao nodded firmly. He was utterly convinced by Liao Feijun’s words. “Young Master Jun, you’re right. I’ll go back and talk to my captain so that we can work together with the Liao family!”

Liao Feijun smiled. He turned his head around and spoke to the person standing in the middle of his friends, “Young Master Nie, aren’t you currently trying to become a three-star superhuman? This Aquatic Dragon’s Eye is perfect for you. Could you give me the honor and buy it for 5,550,000?”

Young Master Nie was dressed in beautiful clothes and had an extraordinary presence. He was also the son of a powerful family, so when he heard this, he stood up.

“Don’t blame me for trying to steal from your pocket,” Liao Feijun said. “While this Aquatic Dragon’s Eye isn’t in good condition, it’s perfect for Dragon Slaying Technique, which you’re practicing. I believe that it will be able to help you become a third-star superhuman.”

Young Master Nie laughed, and he did show Liao Feijun some respect. “Alright, stop trying to explain things to me. I believe in you, Young Master Jun. I’m offering six million. Vice Captain Zhao, will your squad be willing to sell it?”

Mr. Zhao was beside himself with joy. He quickly nodded. “We’ll sell it. Of course we’ll sell it. Thank you, Young Master Nie.”

He also thanked Liao Feijun repeatedly. “Thank you for your guidance as well, Young Master Jun. You’re indeed the future star of harvesters in Dragon City!”

With just a few words, not only had he identified the item and figured out its origins, but also helped him complete a trade. Then, he used his connections and professional knowledge to increase the price of the item by seven million and five hundred thousand. It made both the buyer and the seller delighted with the trade.

This was the elegance of a high-end harvester!

In an instant, Liao Feijun became the center of attention.

As for Meng Chao, he did not even have the right to be looked down upon.

What a joke. All the people present belonged to the upper-class society. They were high-end professionals, and they were very busy. No one had the time to look down on a normal high school student.

… Fine. Liao Feijun had the time.

“Martial Uncle Meng, let me give you a few words.”

Liao Feijun would not allow Meng Chao to just leave silently. He put his hands behind his back and said faintly, “The requirements to join the harvesting circle are very low, but the upper limits are very high. If you want to become a good harvester, you need to come from a family of learned scholars. You need to personally examine and even touch all sorts of treasures since young, for only then will you be able to get the feel of things.

“Perhaps you truly have talent, but due to your family environment and considering the fact that you’re staying in a public renting house, it’s clear that you won’t be able to touch something like the Aquatic Dragon’s Eye.

“This isn’t a field you should step into. You put so much effort to disguise yourself so that you could come here, but that will not only make you feel horrible, if you make a wrong appraisal, you will ruin a major trade. Will you be able to compensate them at that time?

“I don’t know what Elder Ning is thinking about by choosing you, but you should know better in your heart, or else, you’ll just bring harm to yourself and others!”

Once he said those things, the crowd burst into a ruckus.

Meng Chao was dressed in the school uniform of Ninth High School, which was a key high school. Quite a number of students there were pretty well off, which was why no one could figure out his origins.

Now, Young Master Jun mentioned that the boy was staying in a public renting house, so what right did he have to attend such a high-end material trade fair?

Liao Feijun’s friends were the first to laugh.

The technical director of Prosperous, Gu Ming, also said loudly, “I know of the boy’s background. Not only does he stay in a public renting house, his father is also a low-ranking harvester in Prosperous, but because he’s corrupted, he has just been fired!”

At that moment, the other harvesters in the field began whispering even louder.

It was due to their respect for White-haired Ghostly Hands that they did not immediately chase Meng Chao out.

Meng Chao’s gaze turned dark. He stared at the Aquatic Dragon’s Eye for a long time while deep in thought.

Liao Feijun thought that he was dumbfounded because of fear and shook his head while walking down the stairs.

“Young Master Jun, Young Master Nie, should we discuss the details?” Mr. Zhao of Bloody Wolf smiled and chased after them.

Ning Xueshi was so angry that she started stomping.

Ning Shewo covered his chest with his hand and thought to go on the stage to help Meng Chao regain some of his dignity.

“Hold on.” At that moment, Meng Chao suddenly spoke. His voice was cool and calm. “Since you called me martial uncle, did I allow you to leave?”

Liao Feijun frowned slightly. He slowed down a little.

“Hey, you. You’re Liao Feijun, right? Do you really think that this is an Aquatic Dragon’s Eye?” Meng Chao asked, and his voice was filled with puzzlement.

He sounded absolutely baffled that Liao Feijun would answer such a simple question wrong, and he was so wrong that it was ridiculous.

And if he were so wrong that it was ridiculous, how could he have the gall to come out and pretend to be awesome?

And now that he had finished pretending to be awesome, how could he think about leaving?

Liao Feijun, Young Master Nie, and Mr. Zhao went still.

“You just mentioned that you didn’t know what that item was. What are you playing at this time? Don’t you think you’ve embarrassed yourself enough?” Liao Feijun’s expression sank.

Meng Chao shook his head. “I do indeed not know what this is. I just know that it’s definitely not an Aquatic Dragon’s Eye!”

His words caused the crowd to burst into a commotion again.

A few of the experienced harvesters shook their heads. “This is indeed an Aquatic Dragon’s Eye. Liao Feijun is the grandson of Poisonous Hands. He is very knowledgeable, and he has a good eye. This boy is just trying to preserve his dignity. He might end up making a mistake and falling again.”

“My young friend, stop talking and come down!” Ning Shewo was incredibly anxious. He could also tell that it was an Aquatic Dragon’s Eye, but he did not know how Meng Chao could save the situation now. Their family had certainly created huge trouble for him.

Meng Chao sighed. He put on an expression as if he was giving a lesson to elementary school students. “If it’s just an Aquatic Dragon’s Eye, I would naturally be able to tell at first glance.

“But when I looked at it the second time, I found that there’s something strange about it, that’s why I observed it carefully for five minutes.

“It’s good that you know that the Single-eyed Grass bears fruit once every three years, and there is a certain chance that it will produce a Ghost-eyed Fruit each time it bears fruit. It shows that you’re attentive when you study.

“But did you know that the Ghost-eyed Fruit can also mutate? There’s a very small chance that it will mutate a second time and turn into the rarer Monster-eyed Fruit. When the Monster-eyed Fruit is eaten by a Golden-furred Pig which is in turn eaten by a Red-tailed Golden Python, how could the crystal core that is eventually produced end up as an Aquatic Dragon’s Eye? It should be called Monster Dragon’s Eye.”

“What?!”

Liao Feijun was dumbfounded.

Young Master Nie and Mr. Zhao looked at each other, and they saw the shock in each other’s eyes.

All the harvesters, including Ning Shewo fell silent. They quickly rifled through their drawers of memories in search of the Monster-eyed Fruit, but they found nothing.

“What do you mean by Monster-eyed Fruit? I’ve never heard about it before. You’re just rambling, right? Or else, why would you not have said anything just now?” Liao Feijun scolded him fiercely.

Meng Chao sighed in a rather resigned manner. “Because the Monster-eyed Fruit has a total of fifteen ways it can mutate during its second mutation, so there are also fifteen different types of Monster Dragon’s Eye it can form.

“I am a normal high school student staying in a public renting house. I’m poor and don’t have a lot of knowledge. I’ve just learned how to harvest and appraise items. Even though I can tell that this is a Monster Dragon’s Eye, I can’t figure out which Monster Dragon’s Eye it is despite wracking my brains about it. That’s why I can only honestly admit that I know nothing about it.”
