Chapter 522: The King Beast Egg!
(In earlier chapters, it was mentioned that the Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce has branches in various cities and counties throughout the Tianbai Empire. Therefore, the crystal coins stored in a Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce VIP card can be used at any chamber within the empire.)
"Mr. Li, may I ask what kind of treasures you are looking for? Our Tianbao Pavilion in Iron Wolf City is one of the largest trading companies, and we have all sorts of rare and valuable items!"
On the way up, Manager Lei had already inquired about Ling Feng s name, to which Ling Feng casually responded with a made-up name, Li Feng.
"I\'ll look around first."
Ling Feng, with a nonchalant attitude, glanced around the fifth-floor showroom before finally rubbing his chin and smiling, "It seems the items here are quite good."
"Of course!"
Manager Lei immediately responded with a smile, saying, "Mr. Li, take a look at this. This is the Heaven and Earth Nine-pattern Sword, a top-grade treasured artifact. As they say, a treasured sword befits a hero, and is perfect for a young talent like yourself!
"And this, a Golden Silk Inner Armor! Wearing it not only provides comfort but also reduces the force of an enemy\'s attack by about thirty percent!
"Take a look at this, the Emperor\'s Thousand Mountains Scroll! It\'s said to contain an earth-tier art. Whoever can comprehend it will undoubtedly gain a tremendous opportunity!"
Manager Lei, seeing Ling Feng\'s interest, eagerly introduced each item in detail. Manager Lei was also an appraisal master, familiar with every valuable item in the fifth-floor showroom.
"Not bad." Ling Feng nodded with a smile before his gaze finally rested on a giant egg about the size of a watermelon, floating in mid-air in the deepest part of the showroom.
"What is this?"
Ling Feng squinted, observing the egg surrounded by six crystal pillars connected by a strange array that seemed to be continuously supplying energy to the egg.
"Hehe, Mr. Li, you\'ve come at the right time. You wouldn\'t know, but this treasure egg is currently the most precious item in all of Iron Wolf City!"
Manager Lei squinted, chuckling.
"Oh?" Ling Feng turned to look at Manager Lei, asking, "What do you mean by that?"
"Mr. Li, you might not know, but this is a king beast egg!" Manager Lei lowered his voice, looking somewhat guilty.
In fact, only the higher-ups of the Skull Gang in Iron Wolf City knew the secret of this giant egg.
"A king beast egg?" Ling Feng couldn\'t help but take a deep breath.
A king beast implied a demonic beast of at least the demon king level, and a king beast egg was the offspring of a demon king.
Such a young beast, born with the bloodline of a demon king, would grow up to be a demon king-level entity.
Moreover, because it was still in the egg phase, once it hatched, a spirit animal blood pact could be established immediately, ensuring lifelong loyalty.
Imagine, if a family possessed the assistance of a demon king, wouldn\'t they instantly become a top-tier family?
However, how the Skull Gang managed to acquire such a king beast egg remained a mystery.
"Indeed, it is a king beast egg."
Manager Lei smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I can see that you have a noble aura, definitely of a distinguished background, so I decided to tell you this secret. In fact, our Skull Gang\'s boss has been secretly contacting various prominent families across the land, waiting for the king beast egg to hatch to hold a private auction for it.
"At that time, you can also participate in the bidding. But for now, this king beast egg is the only item not for sale on the fifth floor." Manager Lei continued with a smile.
"The Skull Gang dares to auction a king beast egg. The Skull Gang is indeed the Skull Gang!" Ling Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I\'m quite curious, since it\'s a king beast egg, how did your Skull Gang get hold of it?"
"It\'s a matter of luck. A few of our brothers encountered a severely injured female demon king while hunting demons in the Sky Demon Forest. The demon king was already heavily wounded and died after laying the egg."
Manager Lei smiled and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Well, Mr. Li, if you are really interested in the king beast egg, you can leave your address. When the auction starts, I will have someone notify you."
Ling Feng rubbed his nose and smirked. "It\'s probably because of this king beast egg that the demonic beasts outside the city are pressing in, right?"
"Hehe." Manager Lei chuckled, not saying much more.
"Don\'t you worry about the demonic beasts storming into Iron Wolf City?" Ling Feng casually asked.
"What\'s there to fear? Demon kings are strong, but our Black-Armored Cavalry in Iron Wolf City is no pushover, and there are also the powerful members of the Hunter\'s Guild. Hehe...
"Manager Lei grinned and said, "They fight their battles, and we just make a profit, right?"
"You all are really good at scheming!"
Ling Feng snorted coldly. The Skull Gang was truly shameless. If the demon king were to rage and provoke a massive invasion by the demon race, the peace that countless seniors had bled and sacrificed for might be shattered again.
"Mr. Li, you might as well look at something else," Manager Lei said with a forced smile.
"No need to look anymore." Ling Feng sneered and said calmly, "I want everything!"
"Everything... everything?"
Manager Lei gulped hard, almost having his eyeballs pop out. He wants all the treasures on the fifth floor!
My goodness, how rich is he!?
"Mr. Li, are you really going to buy everything?" Manager Lei could hardly believe his ears.
"That\'s right." Ling Feng took out a crystal coin from his storage spirit ring and slapped it on a display case while smirking. "Is one crystal coin enough?"
Manager Lei\'s mouth twitched. "One? Mr. Li, don\'t joke around."
"Hahahaha..." Ling Feng narrowed his eyes and burst into laughter.
"Hehehehe..." Manager Lei, though somewhat puzzled, laughed along, thinking Ling Feng was joking.
Suddenly, Ling Feng\'s laughter stopped abruptly.
In the next moment, Ling Feng seemed to have changed into a different person. He shot a cold glance at Manager Lei, his expression cold. "I never joke!"
