Chapter 12: Unscrupulous Merchant

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the chest was opened, Lin Lei finally understood why the chest had been able to produce such a heavy sound.

All kinds of weapons flowed out of the box, still reflecting the cold light under the light of the torch. This showed the weapons’ excellent quality.

The leader of the masked men took out a short sword, while another masked man threw a piece of papyrus in the air.

The masked man in the lead threw the short sword into the air in the direction of the papyrus, and the papyrus tore into two after touching the short sword.

“This short sword was called ‘Dragon Hunter’. The base of the sword was made by a dwarf master, and the blade was sharpened by a grandmaster. It’s the best choice in terms of both strength and sharpness.

“You only need 200 silver coins to buy it.”

The masked man casually threw the short sword into the pile of weapons and then took out a chain hammer.

“To deal with a giant with thick skin, a blunt weapon is the best choice. This is ‘Boulder’, and it’s engraved with wind magic, so the wielder can swing it with little effort.

“It was originally 400 silver coins, but if you want it, I can give it to you for 300.”

The masked man casually waved the chain hammer in his hand and then threw it to the ground.

With a loud bang, a crack appeared on the stone floor.

Lin Lei’s eyes went wide as he listened to the masked man’s introduction.

Looking at these weapons, Lin Lei felt that he might really be able to win if he bought a weapon from him.

Moreover, the masked man was very sneaky and had set the price range of his weapons at 200 to 300 silver coins. His purpose was self-evident.

As long as he sold his body, he would be able to live.

Lin Lei spent a great deal of effort to calm his wavering heart. “No, let’s forget it.”

It was not that he was not afraid of death, but rather that Lin Lei did not quite believe in the masked man’s character.

If he was the masked man, he would also go to The Butcher to sell the weapons.

If he could afford it, there was no reason that The Butcher could not.

At that time, it would be an arms race between him and The Butcher.

There was no reason for Lin Lei to feel that he was richer than The Butcher. If he spent money to increase the battle’s difficulty, that would be a huge loss.

He would end up losing his life.

The masked man tried to promote his weapons for a long time, but seeing that Lin Lei still was not moved, he finally put the weapons back into the chest with a look of pity on his face.

“Since you’re not willing, I can’t do anything about it. There’s another business deal. Are you willing to do it?”

Upon hearing that there were other businesses to do, Lin Lei hurriedly nodded. After all, who would complain about not having enough money?

“There’s a noble who’s been having a little problem with his body recently. He can’t get hard. He heard that his condition can be cured by soaking his genitals in wine, so he asked me to buy your reproductive organs.

“Don’t be in a hurry to refuse. I won’t take them from you while you’re still alive. If you lose the fight, I’ll take your genitals then.

“If you agree, I can pay you 50 silver coins in advance for your enjoyment tomorrow.”

“If you’re not dead, you don’t have to pay me back. I’ll pay it back for you. What do you think?”

Lin Lei agreed without hesitation. “Alright!”

If he lost, he would die. What happened to his corpse was none of his business.

The two of them signed the treaty and swore an oath in the name of the gods. The deal was considered complete.

Then, the masked man handed over a piece of papyrus.

“There are some items on the list. If you want to find a prostitute, I can help you send her in. Of course, I can’t charge according to the city’s price. It’s not like I don’t bear any costs when sending her in.’

“Good fellow,” Lin Lei immediately said.

What a considerate service. This was all for the sake of squeezing him dry of everything.

The profiteers of this world were amazing.

He looked at the list carefully. There was a ‘2 ‘ on minotaur steak. Along with some other food, it would cost a total of six silver coins.

Nothing else could arouse his desire to spend money.

“Can I buy the female slave who delivers my meals?” he asked the masked man.

“It’s not a good idea to buy her,” the masked man replied. “She can still eat her fill here, but she won’t have a family when she gets out.

“When the time comes, she’ll have to sell herself. The next place she goes won’t provide her with such good treatment.”

Lin Lei thought for a moment, then agreed.

‘Heh, this world.’

After that, Lin Lei discovered that he no longer had any desire to spend.

“Forget it, let’s just leave it at that. I can’t take the money away anyway. Just bet the rest of the money on me winning.”

The masked man was elated. This was a good relationship. Lin Lei was simply giving away money for free.

After handing out the betting chips to Lin Lei and Daisy, the masked man spoke with a hint of regret in his voice.

“The odds for this order are 1:50. You’ll be rich if you win. It’s been a pleasure working with you this time. I look forward to the next time.”

After the masked man had left, Daisy looked at Lin Lei. “I couldn’t tell that you were so clean and honest.”

“Is it because you’re a priest?”

Lin Lei replied, “It has nothing to do with religion. I just feel that it’s quite boring.

“I just think that there’s no difference between having sex and masturbating if there’s no love.

“And I might not lose, right? Don’t you think I’ll win?”

Daisy chuckled. “I only betted on you because the odds are high. If you win, I’ll get 250. If you lose, I won’t lose much.

“The torch is about to burn out. I’m going to sleep.”

Lin Lei replied, “Mhm. Good night, then.”

The curtain was lowered, and darkness enveloped Daisy’s room.

In the darkness, Daisy’s terrifying face revealed a thoughtful expression. “Love? What’s that?”

As for Lin Lei, he climbed onto his bed, closed his eyes, and began to frantically call out to the Ancestral God.

“Ancestral God, Ancestral God, Ancestral God…”

Soon, Lin Lei’s eyes rolled back, and his consciousness appeared within the temple.

The pillar of the Ancestral God let out a crazed roar. “Kid, I told you not to bother me. You didn’t understand me, huh?!

“Or do you really think I won’t punish you?!”

Lin Lei hurriedly said, “How could that be? I was just worried that you would be lonely, so I wanted to chat with you.

“Your house is so big. You must be very lonely.”

Upon hearing that, the Ancestral God’s voice began to reverberate. “Don’t try to guess me with your mortal thoughts!”

Lin Lei felt that the Ancestral God was being a little too tsundere.

Ever since he knew that the Ancestral God would sense him if he called out his name, he understood why the Ancestral God viewed him in a different light.

Orcs were already very rare, and after so many years of decline, it was inevitable that their faith would waver.

The moment the Ancestral God woke up, he probably heard a torrent of abuse that would not stop.

The other orcs cursed him from the bottom of their hearts. Only Lin Lei did not have any ill intentions, which was why the Ancestral God came to look for him.

There was really no other choice. It was better to be disrespected than humiliated.

Lin Lei felt that the Ancestral God was probably depressed after being cursed at. Right now, Lin Lei was basically a VIP of the Ancestral God.

When the Ancestral God said that he was not lonely, it was definitely a lie.

After analyzing the Ancestral God’s thoughts, Lin Lei put on a terrified expression. “I was wrong. I actually used a mortal’s way of thinking to figure out the great Ancestral God!”

Lin Lei decided to use the vocabulary he had learned over the years from the forums to flatter the Ancestral God.

He had to trick something out of the Ancestral God today.
