Chapter 8: Old Tame Head
Editor: Atlas Studios
"That's right… I admire your decisive personality the most."
Ling Lan smiled sweetly and stretched out her hand to Xu You, "Then, we've reached a cooperation from today onwards?"
Xu You nodded and stretched out his hand.
The two of them shook hands and quickly separated.
...
In an old street in Jianglin City.
The expression on Ling Lan's face was a little puzzled. She looked at Xu You and asked, "Why did you bring me here? Is there anything worth us coming here?"
Hearing this, Xu You shook his head. Before Ling Lan could ask again, he said, "It's not something worth us coming over… but someone."
Ling Lan raised her eyebrows and did not ask further. Instead, she continued to follow Xu You.
Soon, the two of them arrived outside a watch shop.
However, it seemed that because of the baptism of countless years, the watch shop looked very dilapidated and old.
Behind the wooden old counter stood an old man with a white beard and white hair. He was wearing a washed-out green shirt.
In front of him stood a young man with a conflicted expression.
The young man was about 20 years old. At this moment, the expression on his face was very anxious and worried.
"Old Tame Head, I'm really a good thing. This is a treasure passed down by my elders."
"After so many years, it's considered an old antique. If not for the fact that I'm really short of money now, I wouldn't have thought of selling it."
Hearing this, Old Tame Head waved his hand impatiently.
"What old antique? Kid, look carefully. This is a watch shop. I don't accept your things."
"If you really want to sell it, go to places like the Treasure Pavilion to take a look."
"Are you joking?"
Hearing this, the young man was a little anxious.
"Old Tame Head, you can't do this. I've heard of you."
"They all say that you like to collect antiques. The price is usually fair."
"I…"
Before the young man could finish, he was interrupted impatiently by the old man.
"Stop talking nonsense with me. I've already said that this is a watch shop, not an antique shop. I won't take your so-called antique."
"Get lost, get lost. Hurry up and get lost. Don't come here and disturb my peace."
Hearing this, the young man looked a little anxious.
"Hey, Old Tame Head, don't chase me away. Look at my treasure first!"
As he spoke, the young man took out something from his pocket in a panic.
It was a gem similar to glass.
Old Tame Head glanced at the gem and quickly looked away in disdain.
After seeing Xu You and Ling Lan enter the shop, he immediately called out.
"Take a look around first."
After saying that, he retracted his gaze and looked at the gem again.
"This thing of yours doesn't look valuable."
Hearing this, the young man sighed.
"Although this thing… was passed down by my ancestors, it's actually useless to hold it."
"There are no superpowers in it. If I take it out to sell now, I can only sell it as a relatively valuable treasure."
As he spoke, he continued, "However, although this treasure doesn't have any superpowers, it must be very valuable to be passed down by my ancestors for generations."
When the old man heard this, he sneered and asked, "Tell me, how much do you plan to sell this gem to me for?"
When the young man heard this, he first swallowed nervously, then slowly drew a finger.
"100,000."
When the old man heard this, he did not say anything and directly patted the young man's shoulder.
Then, he slowly pointed at his dilapidated threshold and asked, "Did you see that?"
The young man was a little puzzled. "See what?"
"That's the exit. You can get lost now."
When the young man heard this, he was immediately stunned on the spot.
After reacting, he hurriedly said, "Old Tame Head, my treasure is really worth this price. I'm not asking for a sky-high price."
Hearing this, the old man still did not answer and only sneered.
Seeing this, the young man's expression became a little conflicted.
Just as he was about to lower the price and make another bid, Ling Lan's delicate laughter suddenly sounded.
"Little brother, come here."
The young man was first stunned when he heard this. After turning around and seeing the sexy and charming Ling Lan, he swallowed his saliva.
After reacting, he said in confusion, "You… what's the matter?"
Ling Lan pointed at the gem in his hand and said, "You plan to sell this gem, right?"
Hearing this, the young man smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Unfortunately… the boss is unwilling to buy it."
Ling Lan smiled faintly, "I'll pay 100,000."
"If you're willing to sell, I can transfer the money now."
Hearing this, the young man was immediately overjoyed.
He had originally shouted the price of 100,000.
At this moment, when he heard that Ling Lan was willing to buy it for 100,000, he was naturally willing to sell it.
After the two of them completed the transaction and the money and goods were settled, the young man quickly walked out of the watch shop happily.
When the old man saw this, he immediately sneered and looked at Ling Lan coldly.
"Who are you?! What right do you have to intercept my things?!"
Old Tame Head was actually already tempted by the treasure.
How could he not see that this thing was an expensive treasure?
The reason why he acted like that was only to bargain.
Unexpectedly, this bargain was cut short by Ling Lan.
Hearing this, Ling Lan chuckled and patted Xu You.
"Xu You, you're really right. This old man was bargaining just now."
Hearing this, Xu You chuckled.
How could he not know what Old Tame Head was thinking?
In the past, by chance, he learned about the background of this watch shop's owner.
He roughly understood this person's personality and ability.
"Old Tame Head, your real name is Jiang Wenjie. I officially invite you to become a member of our mystic realm exploration team."
Xu You had long known that the boss of the watch shop here was like an encyclopedia of mystic realm exploration.
He knew almost all the strange mystic realms and the various creatures and phenomena in them like the back of his hand.
If their exploration team could have Old Tame Head join them, the dangers in the various mystic realms would definitely not be a problem for them.
If Xu You had to make an analogy, Old Tame Head was the support of a team.
While the others attacked, he followed behind and continuously provided information and various help.
To an exploration team, this was definitely an indispensable person.
