Chapter 924 Are All The Fairies Swindling Sons Ofbitches?

"This… this…" The fairy was speechless.

Her eyes glittered as she couldn't take them off of the small insignificant looking oddity in Liam's hand.

This was… she stared at him in disbelief. 

She was not sure if Liam had recognized it or not, but she knew exactly what it was, something that shouldn't be out in the open just yet.

This was because the small item he was holding was none other than the world seed, an undoubtedly priceless treasure. 

Just how did this ruffian get his hands on something like this so soon? The corners of her lips twitched in anger and hatred.

People in this realm shouldn't even know about the existence of this world seed so soon. At this time, barely the second wave of the apocalypse had started. So how on earth did this fellow sniff this out already? 

Perhaps he did not know anything about it and had simply fallen face down in this pile of luck?! Yes, that had to be it. Tilia was sure of it. Otherwise, it was impossible for something like this to happen.

Tch. what an annoying person! Even luck was on his side! Tilia cursed Liam inwardly as she tried to keep a straight face. 

Meanwhile, Liam smiled again. "Can you give me an exchange rate for this as well? Wait, my bad. It can't be that this is also useless, right? That would really be…"

He watched the fairy's face change into different colors as he continued bullshitting, but throughout the whole thing, she did not lose her cool even once. It was very impressive.

"Ahem. No. You don't have to worry about that. This particular item is indeed not useless." Tilia narrowed her eyes at Liam and then let out a sigh. 

"Ok, since you are the first person to register in our shop and have even made several purchases, including a guild registration, I will be generous with you." 

She paused for a moment before nodding as if she had reached a decision after a careful thought process.

"You can trade that item with us for a million mana cores."

"Oh? A million mana cores?" Liam made a surprised face.

That's right, you oaf! Come on, accept it! The fairy inwardly chided him. 

This single person in front of her had caused her shop a tremendous loss in just these few weeks since they opened up. 

He even refused to submit the Orchalcum metal slabs, somehow finding out their true value. It was almost as if it was impossible to wrestle away profit from this hateful person's hands.

However… all that would instantly change if she could just get her hands on this single item!

After all, he had a world seed! The damned thug had a world seed!

Tilia gulped lightly as she continued selling her offer, "Hmmm… I wish I could go higher, but I am afraid it is not possible at the moment. You have seen the discounts at the shop." 

"But a million mana cores is a good payment. You can purchase 10 more skills with that amount which should put your strength at the top of this realm." 

"I can guarantee you that there is no one with 10 uncommon skills at the moment in your entire world."

"Oh?" Liam once again looked shocked. 

"Then may I ask what this item is? I am curious to know what could be so valuable? I mean, getting 10 skills in exchange for this single thing… must be something good?"

Tilia's right eye twitched, but she did not panic. Of course, he was going to suspect something. It was only natural to do so. That didn't mean that she had lost her edge. 

Not laying it on too thick, she just curtly answered him. "Ummm. Unfortunately, I am not able to divulge that information. I can only offer you a trade, I cannot explain anything else about the item."

"Oh." Liam nodded. "That is indeed… hmm… then may I ask you one more doubt?"

"I really cannot-" Tilia started, but Liam interrupted her with a crooked smile. "Don't worry. Don't worry. It's not about this item. I just had a general doubt about the fairy race. Are all the fairies swindling sons of bitches?"

"Mr. Liam!"

"The other one wanted to pay me 10,000 mana cores for a dungeon crystal, and now you want to pay me a million mana cores for a world seed. You all must really think that human beings are fools, huh?"

Tilia's face changed from anger to being shocked as she had definitely not expected Liam to know about the world seed. Not only that, but he also possessed a dungeon crystal? Just where the heck did this guy hit this jackpot?

This was bad. But wait… did he know everything about it?

Tilia tried to keep her calm and continued, "Hmmm. I am not sure about this other fairy you are talking about, Mr. Liam. But as far as I am concerned, I do believe that I offered you a very valid trade." 

"At this time, because of the discounts, one million mana cores is worth a lot in the shop. On the other hand, the world seed in your hand is pretty much worthless." Tilia shrugged. 

"Do you even know what it is, Mr. Liam? What can you do with a world seed? Don't you think a million mana cores or five, which would be my best offer, is worth more to you at the moment than this strange thing that you know nothing about?"

"Hmmm… wise words that I should definitely think about. I will consider your offer and perhaps come back at a later time." Liam chuckled and walked away.

Tch. Tilia frowned, but she did not bother giving any more offers. It looked like he had already made up his mind if he couldn't even be swayed slightly with 5 million mana cores.

She could tell that his purpose in coming here was never to sell the damn thing, to begin with. He most probably just wanted to collect some information about it. What a cunning person!
