Samsara Online Chapter 297 Spending money at astonishing speeds

The total amount of money Xie Feng had in total, even if you counted the money he had given to Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue, was half a billion gold coins. However, he was unwilling to ask for that kind of money from the girls behind him no matter what. Although he knew that neither of them saw it as a big deal since they could get more gold in the future anyway, Xie Feng simply wasn't willing to ask them for something that he gifted on his own initiative; therefore, he had to make do with the four hundred million he currently had in his inventory.

After being a bit depressed, he looked at the following items with surprise and expectation.

Xie Feng had a dead expression on his face. Even something as simple as a fruit was so powerful that if it was auctioned off players would undoubtedly be willing to pay amounts much higher than the price in front of him.... Could it be that this mysterious Number Ten had everything!?

However, when Xie Feng looked further down he realized that the list still continued.

[Equipment: -

[Leviathan Pendant: (Hidden Properties)

Equipment Grade: Immortal.

Cost: 1,000,000,000 gold coins.]

!

The first piece of equipment had already left Xie Feng speechless. This person in front of him actually had an Immortal grade item for sale! The most important thing however was that this equipment was an earring!

Even after all this time, Xie Feng was still wearing the same earrings he obtained in the Beginner's Village. It was a pair of earrings that increased all of his magic resistances by 4%, which could be considered phenomenal. So, if a bronze earring granted such stats, how good would an Immortal grade earring be?

However, when he saw the price of the item his hot blood ran cold in less than a second.

One billion gold coins...

Now that the currency exchange opened, the value of gold plummeted since players could exchange real money for virtual money. Then, one gold coin was equivalent to one Chinese yuan. In short, the value of the earring was one billion Chinese yuan... Such an amount was enough for several generations of families to live comfortable luxurious lives without any financial worries.

Although such an amount was affordable for Xie Feng, even he shuddered at the price of the Leviathan Pendant. Of course, if he had that kind of money with him, he would gladly buy it.... Unfortunately, reality was cruel.

Xie Feng secretly clenched his teeth. What he was currently feeling was in no way different from what he felt when Xiao Lei showed him his items back then; in both cases, Xie Feng had no money to indulge in his spending and buy anything he felt like!

Swoos.h.!.+

Suddenly the window in front of Xie Feng disappeared, leaving him dumbfounded.

"My nose tells me that the amount of gold coins you have isn't enough to buy any piece of equipment in my inventory. There's no point in you looking at more than that." Number Ten's voice snapped Xie Feng out of his surprise.

In fact... Just as Number Ten said, Xie Feng did not have enough gold coins so there was no point in continuing to look further; on the contrary, it might be better for him not to look anymore since he would only feel frustration at the end of the day since he could not have any of it. Still, he couldn't help but feel a little upset.

The mind of a human being could be as strong as iron at times but weak as a chicken's eggsh.e.l.l at others for any outside influence could alter thoughts and emotions depending on the situation. After seeing such G.o.dly objects, it was impossible for the greed in Xie Feng's heart not to awaken and the thought of stealing from the person in front of him began to slowly grow within him.

However, as if he knew his thoughts, Number Ten started to speak again, "You want to rob me? You should forget it, human. You are too weak. Even if one of the four kings of the Adastreia Continent appeared in front of me wouldn't have such audacity.... Should I praise you?"

Xie Feng's blood ran cold and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead even in such a cold environment. Right! A person so powerful that even with his Soul Eyes, practically no information other than his name could be seen was naturally an extremely powerful being! One should consider oneself lucky that Number Ten didn't go around stealing from people so it was best not to test him!

"How could I want to rob you? Haha..." Xie Feng tried to keep calm and smiled slightly. "I know you're powerful, it's already a blessing that you don't steal from me how would I dare steal from you?"

"Hmph... Unlike you greedy and lying humans, my kind of us strive to live honorably even in the face of hards.h.i.+p!" Number Ten said proudly.

Humans? My kind? Xie Feng's mind was racing at lightning speed as he processed the information he had just obtained. However, Number Ten did not give him too much time to think.

"Young man, quickly tell me whether you want to exchange something with me or not. My time is more valuable than you can imagine." Said the stranger. His voice sounded like that of a person who had been through a lot in his life and Xie Feng noticed something at that moment.

Just like him, Number Ten must also have his own difficulties. Otherwise, why would such a powerful person who could arrogantly say that not even the four kings of the Adrastreia Continent would dare to underestimate him suddenly become a petty merchant? Even being willing to appear in such cold weather in ragged and old clothes.

Xie Feng considered for a moment before sighing and slowly saying, "Give me six 'Burning Yeti Pelt Coat' to resist this ice world."

Each Burning Yeti Pelt Coat was worth ten million gold coins, so to buy six Xie Feng had no choice but to spend sixty million of his available four hundred million. However, even though he knew that he would probably never use such an object again, in the face of temperatures so low that his bones were slowly freezing he had no choice but to clench his teeth and buy it.

Number Ten said nothing and waved his hand.

Six snow-white coats with small fire-red strokes that seemed to pulsate flew into Xie Feng's inventory and sixty million gold coins disappeared, completing the transaction in the blink of an eye.

When the system identified a trade between two ent.i.ties, to avoid scams or slander, the transactions were done automatically so that no one could go back on their word at the last minute.

"Good choice. You may currently believe you are suffering a loss for buying those coats but believe me when you advance deeper into this world you will realize that in reality, the price you got them for was cheap." Number Ten nodded. "Do you want to buy something else?"

Xie Feng thought for a moment before nodding, "Give me ten Void Breaking Stone."

Just like before, ten blackish colored stones flew out of Number Ten's inventory, and two hundred million gold coins were removed from Xie Feng's inventory.

Seeing how in less than a minute two hundred and sixty million gold coins disappeared from his inventory, Xie Feng could not help but smile bitterly.... In less than sixty seconds, he had spent more than many people could earn in a lifetime working eight hours a day.

"Forty packets of Holy Spirit Leaf and forty packets of Evil Spirit Leaf."

Eighty million gold coins less.

"Ten packs of b.l.o.o.d.y Apple and ten packs of Kiwi."

Ten million gold coins less.

Xie Feng gave a small sigh as he looked at the numbers in his inventory.

In less than two minutes, the scary amount of money Xie Feng had was gone and he only had around fifty million gold coins in his inventory.... Truly, the more money a person had; the faster it disappeared too!
