Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 137 - 123: Lending Capital
Chapter 137: Chapter 123: Lending Capital
Su Lin’s eyes flashed with a keen light, then he turned to look at his second uncle.
By coincidence, Su Qi also looked at him at this moment.
Su Lin nodded, indicating that he thought it was worth borrowing.
If Xu Zhong’s promise truly activates the entry, even if Xu Zhong regrets it afterward, he still profits!
It has already reached ten gold, and it won’t go much higher.
Su Qi, although unaware of Su Lin’s plans, understood his nephew’s intent and immediately raised his hand, shouting to Xu Zhong:
“Wuyin is willing to lend funds!”
His thought was simple: currently, only Wuyin and Quanzhou in the East District have the qualification to upgrade.
And Wuyin knows well that after upgrading to a town-level camp, they will likely face some short-term pain.
Even so, if Wuyin and Quanzhou can exchange needs in the future, it would be the best.
Lending a few gold coins is nothing significant for Wuyin.
With the Su Family standing up, the other leaders of East District villages exchanged glances and supported in succession:
“Our village is also willing to lend funds!”
“So are we!”
“Squad Leader Xu is right; our East District is united, how can we let the blueprint auctioned here flow outside!”
Since they definitely won’t get it, and the Su Family first supported Xu Zhong, they might as well sell Xu Zhong a favor.
In the future, when Quanzhou Village annexes other villages and upgrades, they might also gain some benefits.
Xu Zhong was so moved he was nearly in tears.
“Indeed, the Su Family is loyal! Selling Zhong Wubin to Wuyin Village is truly the best decision!”
Xu Zhong’s mind turned rapidly, and he naturally knew who he should thank the most.
So, Xu Zhong first expressed his gratitude with a strong bow to Su Qi:
“Great grace cannot be verbally thanked! In the future, Wuyin and Quanzhou will surely be brother villages!”
Only then did he express gratitude to the other villages.
After speaking, he immediately raised his hand towards Old Que’er, shouting:
“Ten gold, five hundred silver!!”
His voice echoed in the tavern, causing dust to fall.
With deep pockets, he directly raised the bid by five hundred silver!
The robust man who had just called out ten gold turned pale, gritted his teeth, and shouted again:
“Ten gold, six hundred!”
“Seven hundred!”
“Eight, eight hundred!”
“Eleven gold!”
The robust man’s eyes bulged in anger, violently turning his head to glare venomously at Su Qi.
Xu Zhong immediately unleashed his full presence, overwhelming him like a landslide and tsunami, roaring:
“What are you looking at! Can’t compete and think of playing dirty? Want revenge? Let me tell you! If Wuyin Village receives any harm from outside forces, my Quanzhou Village will fight to the death with you!!”
Having received favors from Wuyin Village, naturally, he had to express his stance.
Su Lin’s eyes turned sharp as he stood up, staring at the robust man, suddenly emitting an aura as sharp as a knife.
Those around were momentarily frozen, followed by an uproar.
“This young master of the Su Family can actually show such presence?!”
“It’s like a knife, extremely sharp!”
“His strength is definitely not low!”
“I wonder how much Qi and Blood his Tendon Lock has?”
The crowd murmured.
Su Lin rarely made a move, and although many had heard of his reputation, they had little impression of his strength.
Now, seeing his imposing aura, they were immediately amazed.
Old Que’er ignored everything happening below, and continued to shout:
“Any more bids? Eleven gold! First call!”
The robust man’s face changed multiple times. In his momentary rage, his mind had been clouded, but now, provoked by Xu Zhong and Su Lin, he calmed down.
He no longer had the courage to challenge the Su Family in Wuyin Village.
A few seconds later.
“Eleven gold! Second call!”
“I!…”
The robust man opened his mouth, gritted his teeth, and, emulating Xu Zhong, shouted loudly:
“Who would lend money to Qinxi Village? We also wish to be brother villages with them, sharing fortunes!”
But this was East District’s territory; no one responded to him.
Old Que’er waited a few seconds and finally made the decision!
“Eleven gold! Third call! Congratulations to Quanzhou Village for acquiring this Giant Beast Hunting Beehive Blueprint!”
Xu Zhong let out a sigh of relief, then joyfully rushed up and carefully received the blueprint from Old Que’er, placing it in his chest.
He laughed heartily and once again clasped his hands in gratitude to the Su Family members:
“I, Xu Zhong, swear here! In the future, Wuyin and Quanzhou, Su and Xu families, will surely be allies sharing fortunes!! If Wuyin or Su is in trouble, my Quanzhou and Xu will fight to the death!!”
“No need for courtesy.”
Su Qi returned the gesture with clasped hands.
With just a single gold coin, they had gained such a public declaration from Xu Zhong of Quanzhou Village, a complete profit for the Su Family.
Seizing this moment, Su Lin, with a thought, looked intently at Xu Zhong and used his White Freebie!
“It has to succeed!”
In an instant.
The silver runes in his consciousness flashed.
Su Lin felt a weight in his pocket.
“It’s a success!”
He suppressed his overwhelming joy.
He only spent one gold coin.
And it was borrowed.
To get that eleven gold worth Giant Beast Hunting Beehive for free!?
This was far more rewarding than the fortune-falling entry from the morning!
Su Lin’s mouth couldn’t help but turn up in a smile.
Seeing his expression, Xu Zhong thought he was just pleased about the two villages forming a friendly relation and returned a bright smile.
“Hehe,” Su Lin laughed even more joyfully.
Thinking of getting something borrowed by someone else to buy for free, and being thanked for it, the thought amused him.
Su Lin now couldn’t wait to go back immediately and quickly build this mechanism.
“When I take a flock of Beast Hunting Bees around Quanzhou Village, I wonder what expressions they’ll have.”
Su Lin thought with evil glee.
Seeing his expression, Su Qi, puzzled, asked:
“Linzi, although the blueprint gained by Xu Zhong does bring us some benefits, it doesn’t warrant such a big smile from you, does it?”
Hearing this, Su Tongxi, Ye Xin’an, and others looked at Su Lin curiously.
“Ahem.” Su Lin quickly reined in his momentary glee and smilingly said: “I just remembered something happy.”
Su Qi asked in confusion: “What thing?”
Su Lin paused momentarily, then patted Su Tongxi’s bottom and replied:
“In the future, Tongxi will give me children.”
Su Tongxi’s face instantly turned red, speechless:
“Children?!”
Su Qi and Ye Xin’an were speechless, clearly recognizing this as Su Lin’s nonsense to brush them off.
With the auction over, the tavern was filled with mixed emotions.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat oppressive.
Most stood up in heavy contemplation and left.
But those who came with high hopes were full of disappointment.
“For this blueprint, our village nearly lost a third of its people, and we sold three pieces of Treasure Meat, yet we still couldn’t buy it.”
“So what? Our village also lost many, ready to go all out, only to find this Tier One Mechanism Blueprint so special that the price soared like this!”
“The price hasn’t overflowed! Even a regular Tier One Mechanism Blueprint costs this much, it’s unchanging. If someone else has the blueprint and you don’t, you might end up miserable if annexed and leveled to a town-level camp far away! Anyone who can fight will, unless your village has a First-Transformed Martial Artist.”
“Sigh…”
Mentioning a First-Transformed Martial Artist, the leaders of the villages outside East District couldn’t help but look enviously at the Su Family’s direction.
In terms of value, a First-Transformed Martial Artist is far more precious than a Tier One Mechanism Blueprint.
Even that Giant Beast Hunting Beehive can’t compare.
