Chapter 137: To Have Come About With No Effort (4)
No green-colored crystal stones had been cut out from the source stones. However, news had come from the Mercenary Union, and Ling Feng spend two hundred thousand gold coins to buy two pieces of green-colored crystal stones.
He looked at the merely five pieces of green-colored crystal stones in his hand, and he was angry enough to be driven mad. He impatiently paced around in the room.
He had spared no expense and used all the manpower and physical resources, and yet he had barely managed to obtain five pieces… Apothecary Leng had demanded fifty pieces! How could this be enough? It was not enough to even scratch the surface of what was required.
Su Luo saw Ling Feng's appearance, which seemed as though he was about to fall apart. She squeezed her fist tightly, wanting to walk up to him, but finally had to stop her footsteps.
Passing through the fragments of wasted stone scraps on the ground, she deeply understood the value represented by these crystal stones. Even having a few pieces was comparable to having a mountain of gold and silver.
Yet, by what means could she take out the crystal stones smoothly without making herself look suspicious? This was a difficult problem.
Suddenly, a bulb lighted up in her head.
Hadn't Ling Feng given an request at the Mercenary Union? Couldn't she just drop off the crystal stones at the Mercenary Union? At that time, she would receive a huge amount of gold coins.
However, upon closer scrutiny, she could not do it.
Without even first considering the consequences of the Mercenary Union leaking her identity, just thinking of those several tens of millions of gold coins, she had no way to transport it all away.
Although she had her space, it also wasn't omnipotent. Right now, it was already practically filled to the brim and would be unable to fit all those gold coins.
Then, how could she give these crystal stones to Ling Feng? Su Luo somewhat anxiously wondered around the courtyard, holding little Meng Meng in her arms.
Others were worried about not finding crystal stones, while she was worried about having too many crystal stones.
If others were to find out, they would be so infuriated to the point of spitting out blood.
Su Luo thought about it, and in the end, she still couldn't find an absolutely safe plan. She might as well just straightforwardly throw it out there, since a broken jar wasn't worth smashing anyway. She stuffed the crystal stones into a cotton sack, handed it all over to Ling Feng, who was so worried that both of his eyes were red, and said, "here, take it."
"What?" Ling Feng's forehead knotted, with an annoyed look, he said said. "Why are you giving me a bag? The high and mighty Miss Su, I don't have time to play with you right now!"
Saying this, Ling Feng tossed the bag back to her, his actions were rough and rude.
Frightening! He had issued a task to buy each green-colored crystal stone for one hundred thousand gold coins, and now, he actually threw the entire bag of stones out?
Su Luo was dumbfounded, she looked up, down, left and right at this dumbass. She seriously asked. " You really don't want it?"
"Stop messing around! If you have time to go stroll around the Mercenary Union, maybe like a blind cat, you can also run into a dead mouse, and purchase a green-colored crystal stone." Ling Feng impatiently waved his hand with a manner that told her move to the aside.
Ling Feng, ah, Ling Feng, how did your master raise such a blockhead like you? You don't want the ones delivered to your door, but insist on taking huge amount of money from your pocket to buy it?
This miss really didn't want to make a profit from your master His Highness' money, but it honestly was that this child didn't know how to appreciate my kindness. Su Luo secretly thought.
"Mercenary Union? Oh right, is the assignment you issued for purchasing green-colored crystal stones still count? The assignment for purchasing one green-colored crystal stone for one hundred thousand gold coins." Su Luo again verified with him.
To not make use of convenient advantages was the action of a damn idiot, Nangong Liuyun, you could only blame yourself for raising such an idiotic subordinate.
"Naturally, it absolutely counts! If you can hand over a green-colored crystal stone, then I will absolutely offer up the gold coins with both hands." Ling Feng disdainfully swept Su Luo a glance. "Can you take out even one? If you can, then I, Ling Feng, will from now on work really hard as your slave!"
Since it was getting late and a single green-colored crystal stone still couldn't be found, therefore, Ling Feng's natural ice-cold temperament had now appeared to be very irritable.
Taking Ling Feng whose strength was of the sixth rank as a slave? What a great idea!
Chapter 138: To Have Come About With No Effort (5)
"A man of character once said that promises must be kept." Su Luo smiled slyly.
"Fine, whoever renegades on the promise is a little dog!"
A devious smile appeared in Su Luo's eyes, she laughingly opened the sack and unhurriedly pulled out a green-colored crystal stone. She proudly waved it in front of Ling Feng. "See here, such a beautiful green-colored crystal stone. Someone actually said that he doesn't want it."
Such a verdant and glistening green, the green was dazzling to the eyes.
Ling Feng stared with astonishment at the sparkling and translucent green-colored crystal stone in Su Luo's hand. In the next second, a joyful ecstasy flashed through his eyes. He snatched the green-colored crystal stone from Su Luo's hand, and unable to contain his joy, said. " It truly is! It actually is a green-colored crystal stone!"
"That's right, even you admit it? I say, Ling Feng you slave, shouldn't you now be carrying over some tea and start pouring some for me, your master?" Su Luo leisurely sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, her face smiling with a manner showing that she had gotten away with an evil scheme.
Since the beginning, Ling Feng had an attitude towards her of finding fault from her nose to her eyes. Now it was all well and good, he was trapped by his own words.
Embarrassment flashed across Ling Feng's ice-cold face, however, emotionless cold people deserved to be called thick-skinned. He automatically ignored Su Luo's words and yelled loudly at her. "Only one? Is there more? Where did you get it?"
Su Luo merely fiddled around with the bag, not saying a word and just smiled.
Ling Feng was naturally a wise person, he snatched the bag from her hand, and directly opened it to look inside.
With just one glance, he immediately became dumbfounded!
How, how could it be! How could such an ordinary cotton bag be stuffed with such priceless crystal stones?
It was not limited to just green-colored crystal stones, but it even contained cyan-colored crystal stones? No, no, no, that was clearly blue-colored…it couldn't really be a blue-colored crystal stone right?
Ling Feng felt that his brain was about to quickly explode. He stupidly stood there and idiotically stared at those exceptionally rare crystal stones. Once again, he dazedly lifted up his head to stare at Su Luo.
Even such an ice-cold and cheerless man, couldn't speak clearly. " This, all of this, all of this is from, where is it from?"
From this, it was sufficient to see how moved and excited he was.
Su Luo casually waved her hand, she calmly shot him a quick glance, while even putting on an appearance that showed she did not care even a bit. "Isn't it just a few worn out stones? Look at you, how can you be so excited to such an extent?"
"Worn, worn out stones!" Ling Feng's first reaction was to cut open this fourth miss from the Su family's head to have a look inside. How was her brain constructed? She had actually said that these crystal stones were worn out stones!
"What, aren't they worn out stones?" Su Luo's smile was very infuriating, it was the very model of someone having taken convenient advantage and flaunting it.
"Do you know, by adding together all the crystal stones in here, it is enough to buy an entire city!" Ling Feng reproached her loudly. "Do you know, His Highness, in order to obtain one blue-colored crystal stone, how much had he spent on manpower and physical resources, and yet he still couldn't get one. You can actually say that it is a worn out stone! Do you know, just this one blue-colored crystal stone, is sufficient to cause a lot of sects to fight over it? Do you know…."
"Stop——" Su Luo made a 'stop' hand gesture. "I don't know anything, but I only know one thing, if you continue to yell loudly, then you won't be able to safeguard these crystal stones."
Immediately, Ling Feng's excitement came to a grinding halt.
He inhaled deeply, he controlled his excessively excited mood. Afterwards, with trembling hands, he counted one by one the crystal stones in the bag.
He counted no less than ten times before finally confirming. "One piece of blue crystal stone is equivalent to twenty-five pieces of green-colored crystal stone. Three cyan-colored crystal stone is equivalent to fifteen green-colored crystal stones. Moreover there was an additional five pieces of green-colored crystal stones…"
