Chapter 72 - 72 There’s Always Someone Better!
72 There’s Always Someone Better!
Wang Xiao was already very interested in the thing in the metal box. Now that Lin Xiang had taken the initiative to suggest it, he naturally would not refuse.
Looking at the time, Wang Xiao promised Lin Xiang, “I’m going to get something first. Let’s meet in the shop later!”
“Anytime!”
Lin Xiang cupped his hands and agreed. Then, he left with the six people.
!!
Wang Xiao called Ma Yunle again. After telling the other party his location, he soon saw Ma Yunle walking over from afar.
“Junior, I’m at the City Lord statue. Where are you? Why don’t I see you?”
Ma Yunle held the communicator and looked around. His gaze slid past Wang Xiao a few times, but he did not recognize him.
Seeing this, Wang Xiao secretly smiled and replied, “It’s beside the City Lord’s statue. I even saw you!”
“You saw me? Then why didn’t I see you?”
As Ma Yunle spoke, he had already arrived beside Wang Xiao, but he did not look at him again until he walked over.
Wang Xiao was very satisfied with this disguise effect. When he felt that he was almost done, he returned to his original appearance. “Senior! I’m here!”
“Aye?”

Ma Yunle turned around and saw Wang Xiao, who was only three steps away from him. His face immediately revealed a questioning expression. “Have you always been here? I actually didn’t see you when I came over just now?”
“Maybe you were distracted?”
Wang Xiao casually replied and did not say that it was the effect of the mask. After all, he had obtained the [Phoenix Mask] from Ma Yunle. It was not as if he could explain why the blue item had turned into an orange item.
Ma Yunle still felt that it was a little strange, but he did not care too much. He directly initiated a transaction with Wang Xiao and placed the population card in the trading column. “After contacting you, I collected another 3,000. A total of 23,000 people.”
Wang Xiao opened the trading column and received it. After confirming that the quantity was correct, he asked, “By the way, Senior, how’s the market for ores recently?”
Ma Yunle thought for a moment and replied, “Recently, many new level three lords are building city-states. The price of ore will be slightly higher than before. Do you want to sell or buy?”
“Selling.”
As Wang Xiao spoke, he calculated the efficiency of the [Metal Devouring Ant] in his heart. “I’m not sure about the species for the time being, but there should be about six million units, and they’re high-quality ores.”
“Six… six million? And it’s a high-quality ore?!”
When Ma Yunle heard this number, he was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out. One had to know that even the most ordinary [Fine Copper Ore] could easily be sold for 60,000 star coins if there were 6 million units!
Yesterday, Wang Xiao had said that he was tight on money. It had only been a night. Where did he get so many resources from?
Thinking of the scene of Wang Xiao blocking the way to collect fees in the lord competition, Ma Yunle could not help but sigh in his heart. Indeed, robbery helped one get rich faster!
However, despite thinking this way, Ma Yunle did not dare to really say it. After giving the price, he suggested, “Brother, actually, if you have a large number of resources, it’s completely alright for you to discuss a cooperation with the Lord’s Shop.”
“Cooperation?”
Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows. “Tell me in detail.”
Ma Yunle pointed at the crowded market. “Most of the transactions here are done by bartering. It’s very difficult to define the price. Therefore, in order to obtain the resources you want, you often end up paying more.”
Wang Xiao nodded in agreement. The first time he came to the market, he had directly used the purple gold mineral to trade. He had indeed lost a lot from that.
Ma Yunle continued, “However, if you cooperate with the Lord’s Shop, not only will the price be relatively stable, but the items in the Lord’s Shop can also be chosen by the cooperating lords first. In short, it’s still quite worth it!”
Wang Xiao pondered for a moment and discovered that although this method could also be considered as bartering, it could greatly reduce the losses.
Moreover, the Lord’s Shop had branches everywhere on the Blue Planet. They could obtain almost all the resources on the Blue Planet. Compared to the trading market in Kaiyang City, there was simply a big difference!
“Thank you for your suggestion, Senior. I’ll go to the Lord’s Shop to take a look now!”
After Wang Xiao thanked him and was about to leave, he was pulled back by Ma Yunle.
“Don’t be anxious.”
Ma Yunle pulled Wang Xiao and chuckled, “There’s something else I didn’t say just now. Cooperating with the Lord’s Shop isn’t that simple. You need someone to be your guarantor. Moreover, this person has to have a certain level of credibility in the trading market…”
Wang Xiao could tell what Ma Yunle was implying. He smiled bitterly and promised, “Senior Ma, don’t worry. If the negotiation succeeds, I’ll definitely ask you to be my guarantor!”
Ma Yunle laughed out loud. “Then it’s a deal!”
“It’s a deal!”
…
After bidding farewell to Ma Yunle, Wang Xiao directly arrived at the Lord’s Shop. However, he discovered that the doors and windows of the entire shop were closed and it did not seem like the shopkeeper had any intention of opening.
Just as Wang Xiao was wondering what was going on, he saw the side door beside him open and Lin Xiang walked out with a smile.
“Mr. Wang!”
Lin Xiang called out and gestured towards the door. “Hurry up and go in. Everyone has been waiting for a long time!”
Wang Xiao thanked him and walked into the side door. He realized that the metal box he had seen earlier was placed on the ground and there were already more than ten people gathered around.
Other than the three shop assistants, Wang Xiao did not recognize the others. However, from the dense energy emitted from their bodies, they should be experts.
At the same time, those people also saw Wang Xiao. However, he was wearing the [Nirvana Mask] at this moment. Be it his appearance or clothes, there was nothing outstanding about him, so they did not pay much attention.
“Old Lin, is everyone here?”
A middle-aged man with a full beard said impatiently, “Then quickly start! I still have something to do!”
“I’m sorry to have kept everyone waiting!”
Lin Xiang first smiled at everyone and then went forward to open the lock on the box. Almost at the same time, a purple light sprinkled out from the gap.
“Purple quality?”
Wang Xiao’s eyes lit up. Just as he was wondering what was inside, Lin Xiang directly lifted the lid of the box.
The large box that required six people to lift was actually filled with purple quality resource balls!
...
Like various item cards, resource balls were also divided by quality. The lowest white resource ball could store 10,000 units of resources.
With every level higher, the capacity of the resource ball would also increase by ten times. A purple quality resource ball could store ten million units, and this box was filled to the brim with these resource ball.s There were at least six to seven hundred of them!
No wonder they were so nervous previously. This box of resource balls is probably more than the resources of the entire Kaiyang City combined! Wang Xiao thought to himself in shock.
Previously, he had always thought that he had a lot of resources. Now, he realized that his horizons were still not enough. Compared to the Lord’s Shop, his wealth was simply incomparable!
While Wang Xiao was shocked, the others seemed to have long been used to such a scene. After Lin Xiang retreated, they directly surrounded it.
Seeing this, Wang Xiao also walked over and began to touch the resource ball to check the items inside.
