Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

Chapter 189: An Undesirable Man

Liu Jie’s contracted source-type Insect Queen had long since been healed. It was no longer in imminent danger, and it had even evolved into a Fantasy Breed.

Not long ago, Liu Jie had gone to find Bai Hao and Wang Fan with a very simple goal. He wanted to apologize.

Liu Jie had been discouraged and become an ordinary person, so he naturally had not wanted to contact his former friends again. He had thought that he would just be giving them more trouble.

At that time, he had become a useless person, and his only fey, the Insect Queen, had been his only reliance. When the Insect Queen’s roots had been damaged, Liu Jie had been ready to cut off all ties and become an ordinary person.

Although he was doing well now, he recalled that Bai Hao and Wang Fan had always been searching and missing him for two years. He felt touched yet apologetic.

When he had met Bai Hao the other time, although Bai Hao’s words had made him angry, he did not take it to heart. This was because Liu Jie knew Bai Hao very well. He was a softie at heart.

Because of mutual understanding, the three of them had become the Radiance Hundred Sequence’s members and would form a three-member team when they went out to do their missions. Men’s friendship was actually just like that, sincere and simple.

After the meal and drinking a few cups of wine, Bai Hao and Wang Fan had gotten closure. They had been concerned about Liu Jie’s past experience and missed him dearly.

For Liu Jie, his strength had returned, and he had become even more powerful. He was back on good terms with his old friends and also had the faith of this young man in front of him.

One would really feel good during a happy occasion!

Liu Jie had never felt how good life was, even when he was still at the top, but after he had fallen into the dust, his perception of life had changed. He felt happy at every bit of the present and interacting with the people close to him.

However, he was caught between laughter and tears when Wang Fan sent a message to the group. Only then did Liu Jie learn that Bai Hao and Wang Fan had pooled their money. They wanted to see if they could treat his Insect Queen’s injuries. After knowing that it had been healed, Bai Hao gave Wang Fan’s share back to him but rewarded all of his money to a live-streamer on Star Web called the Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess.

He had given tens of millions of Radiance dollars, causing Bai Hao, who had been the second top contributing fan for two months, to shoot up to the first place. Not only had he reclaimed his position, but he was also worlds apart from second place.

However, Bai Hao was stifled as no matter how hard he had sent gifts like a bootlicker, the Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess had never thanked him. At that moment, he posted something in the group.

Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess’s Little Fanboy: “Liu Jie, Wang Fan, come out and go on a mission with me to earn money!”

Wang Fan: “When did you start to want to do the missions so much? You used to refuse even when I asked you.”

Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess’s Little Fanboy: “I don’t have enough money to give gifts to the Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess! I plan to reward 99.9% of the money I earn from doing missions to the Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess! I’ll just eat two steamed buns every day.”

Liu Jie: “???”

Wang Fan: “???”

Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess’s Little Fanboy: “Are you two coming or not? If not, I’ll go alone!”

Liu Jie: “Not going!”

Wang Fan: “Not going!”

Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess’s Little Fanboy: “You singles don’t understand the happiness of chasing stars.”

Liu Jie could not help but reveal a pretty boy’s puzzled expression on his honest face.

Bai Hao made it seem as though he was not single. Based on his attitude, he wanted to date online and meet them in real life!

After putting down his cell phone, Liu Jie suddenly recalled something and said to Lin Yuan, “Lin Yuan, several king-class experts will jointly hold a private auction in the Royal Capital. Are you interested?”

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and replied, “Have they revealed beforehand what things they’re going to auction?”

For Lin Yuan, going to your general auction was just purely to watch the fun. It was not that he could not afford them, but most of the things were useless to him.

He would need some spiritual ingredients to enhance feys from Epic to Legend. But in other cases, he did not need the spiritual ingredients to assist him in enhancing feys. As for high-grade feys, he could just evolve them into anything he wanted with time.

Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s words, Liu Jie answered, “I heard that source-type lifeforms will appear at this auction.”

Lin Yuan could not help but ask, “Source-type lifeforms?”

He did not expect someone would auction their source-type lifeforms. If it was a source-type lifeform, Lin Yuan could not help but have some interest.

Source-type lifeforms were strange in their contract and did not necessarily need spiritual energy. Each of them had unique abilities that would be excellent if used properly.

Therefore, if he could encounter a suitable source-type lifeform, Lin Yuan did not mind buying and nurturing it.

For example, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee. It had greatly enhanced Lin Yuan’s combat ability, and it could be said to be his strongest means of attack at present.

Without the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, given his current standard, he was not confident in saying that he could certainly win the promotion duels and ascend to the Celestial Stairway.

Even though Chimey’s Radiant Body could surpass the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s strength in a split second with a burst of power, it was only for that moment.

If it met a Gold defense-type fey and was restrained by it, when Chimey depleted all its energy, Lin Yuan would likely be the one losing the duel.

Thus, he was hell-bent on finding a way to buy a suitable source-type lifeform. Moreover, he did not lack resources for nurturing feys or source-type lifeforms.

Unlike other spirit qi professionals, he did not need to worry about resources and focus his resources toward only one of the feys.

“That king-class expert squad is very famous in the Guild Alliance. I heard that they had destroyed several dimensional rifts. There should at least be one source-type item in this auction, but I don’t think there’ll be over two.”

Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan replied, “What are the admission requirements for this private auction?”

When Liu Jie noticed Lin Yuan had the intention to go, he answered, “Leave the admission requirements to me. I’ll get three tickets at that time.”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, “I’ll have to trouble you then, Big Brother Liu.”

Wen Yu was also thrilled, as she usually had little chance to go down the mountains back then at the Radiant Moon Palace. Thus, she naturally wanted to go to such a lively place.

Even though she had been calling Lin Yuan as ‘Young Master’ and was clearly a subordinate, Liu Jie had never ignored her. As a result, she had slowly started to acknowledge him.

After the meal, Wen Yu took up the duty of cleaning the dishes.

Liu Jie was just about to freeze the prepared spiritual ingredients that were hard to store when he saw a pot of elegant orchid on the shelf where the various spiritual ingredients were placed.

As a Radiance Hundred Sequence member, he naturally knew what it was. He suddenly exclaimed in surprise after observing it, “F*ck! This is actually a Bronze/Epic White Jade Snow Orchid! Why put such a good thing in the kitchen?”

While Wen Yu washed the dishes, she calmly answered, “Young Master gave it to you to help keep the spiritual ingredients fresh.”

Indeed, Wen Yu also saw Liu Jie open his mouth wide with a dazed expression. She imitated what Lin Yuan had said earlier. “Big Brother Liu, are you hungry?”

Liu Jie came back to his senses, and when he heard Wen Yu’s words, he scratched the back of his head and asked, “Didn’t I just finish eating? I ate three bowls of rice, so how could I be hungry?”

Upon hearing that, Wen Yu could not help but criticize, Come on! Not another guy who fails to understand women!

Liu Jie asked, “Wen Yu, did you not eat enough just now?”

Wen Yu lowered her head and replied, “I’m definitely full from two bowls of rice!”

Then, Liu Jie looked at her and said in surprise, “Aren’t you afraid of getting fat from eating two bowls of rice!?”

Wen Yu suddenly felt that Liu Jie was not only someone who failed to understand women but also an undesirable man.
