Dominating the Pugilistic World With My Detective Skills
Chapter 39 - 39 39 The Harvest Season

39: Chapter 39: The Harvest Season 39: Chapter 39: The Harvest Season Editor: Henyee Translations Without asking, who else could be such a sharp businessman, other than that greedy wolf, Jiao Tai Lang?

Seeing Ye Weiming heading his way, Jiao Tai Lang grinned, “For this deal, I wasted nearly ten precious minutes on this island.

An extra 50 silver from you isn’t unreasonable, right?”

Ye Weiming, not in the mood to banter, directly opened the stall window, confirmed the items and prices were correct, and then clicked to buy everything.

In an instant, 1 gold and 50 silver were deducted, and a fine steel longsword appeared in Ye Weiming’s hand, a piece of junk still with an attack boost of 20 just like before.

But no matter how trashy the sword, it was still a sword!

For a swordsman, having a sword and not having a sword represented two completely different concepts.

Seeing that Zang Yue was once again closing in, Ye Weiming, without hesitation, swung his sword and unleashed the move, The Shepherd’s Eating Peonies, at his adversary.

Jiao Tai Lang, the businessman, had already taken himself far away from them.

Truth be told, this guy had a certain sense of foreboding about his actions.

By selling the sword to Ye Weiming and ruining Zang Yue’s plans, he naturally offended that guy, and in the trading process, he had thoroughly ripped Ye Weiming off, so he couldn’t expect Ye Weiming to be grateful for this matter.

Once the fight was over, regardless of who survived, neither one was likely to let him off the hook.

However, he was indifferent to this.

Profiting at all costs was a noble quality that a good businessman should possess.

Seeing that the two men were equally matched, he had no intention of waiting to cash in on the situation.

He considered himself a merchant in “Eternal Chivalry” rather than a scavenger.

So, his choice was to slink away.

However, before leaving, he didn’t forget to loudly say to the two of them, “Both of you are experts in the game.

If you ever have equipment you don’t need and want to sell, you can go to the Lupo Fat Man Equipment Store in Luoyang.

White board equipment starts at 10 silver, blue equipment starts at 1 gold.

The specific price depends on the equipment’s attributes.

My shop has professional appraisers.

I believe they can give you a satisfactory price.”

Having advertised, and without waiting for their response, he immediately dashed towards the dock.

However, before he could even reach the dock, he was abruptly run through the throat by a longsword flashing out from behind a tree, and a shockingly high critical damage was dealt out of nowhere!

Following that, Yin Bu Kui’s figure already appeared from behind the tree.

Seizing the moment before Jiao Tai Lang could react, he swiftly landed several more blows, instantly turning that unscrupulous merchant into a stream of white light.

Ye Weiming, who was fighting fiercely with Zang Yue halfway up the mountain, saw this scene and couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

In reality, while Jiao Tai Lang’s exploitative pricing was despicable, he truly could not have found a solution to break the deadlock without the fine steel sword.

So, he didn’t hold any real resentment towards the man.

As for Yin Bu Kui’s silent, straight into PK approach, all Ye Weiming wanted to say to him was…

Well done!

Indeed, it was evident that there were numerous experts in the world, not just Ye Weiming.

The abilities of the present Zang Yue were also not to be underestimated.

As soon as these two engaged, bout for bout, they fought for over thirty rounds, exchanging blood losses a few times, yet neither gained an advantage.

Dodging Ye Weiming’s sword, Zang Yue finally took the initiative to speak, “With a broken sword, it won’t be easy for you to defeat me.

How about we call it a day?”

Without missing a beat, Ye Weiming continued his assault and responded disdainfully, “You really think you can end in a draw with me?”

Zang Yue retorted calmly, “Or isn’t it so?”

Poor child.

Because of the fight positioning, he simply hadn’t seen Yin Bu Kui’s surprise attack on Jiao Tai Lang, let alone that Yin Bu Kui was now rushing towards them after dispatching Jiao Tai Lang.

Therefore, Yin Bu Kui answered the question he had asked earlier on Ye Weiming’s behalf when he was right behind Zang Yue, “Of course not, do you think I don’t exist?”

Before finishing his sentence, Yin Bu Kui had already snuck his attack, joining forces with Ye Weiming to ambush Zang Yue!

So what if the weapon is not good?

We have an ally now!

Initially, with just Ye Weiming, Zangyue could barely hold his own, but now with the addition of Yin Buku, he was in a flurry and disorderly mess.

Zangyue knew he was no match against these two.

Worse still, his movement technique was not as good as Ye Weiming’s so he couldn’t escape even if he wanted to.

In desperation, he took the initiative to plead, “Gentlemen, there’s a limit to killing.

If I die here, my current mission fails and all my efforts of the last two days will be for naught.

Do you really want to have a mortal grudge with me?”

But Ye Weiming ignored him: “Oh, so now you understand?

What were you thinking when you were chasing us?”

While speaking, not only did Ye Weiming and Yin Buku not cease their assault, but instead intensified their attacks.

A minute later, Zangyue’s health was finally depleted by the duo and was finished off by Ye Weiming’s final “West Child Holds Heart” blow, turning him into white light.

He dropped a longsword and a jade pendant, as well as…

a basket of buns?

Quickly collecting all the items dropped by Zangyue into his bag, Ye Weiming then sent a few item links to Yin Buku.

He didn’t do this to hoard the items, but because unlike boss drops, players’ drops don’t get distributed automatically, they must first be picked up to view their attributes.

Green Bamboo Sword (Gold): A treasure sword forged using the Poison Scripture Secret Method from Miao Jiang.

Attack Power +150, Movement Technique +5, Poison Damage +5.

Hetian Jade Pendant (Blue): A jade pendant manufactured from Hetian jade, which has the effect of nurturing qi and blood.

Health limit +100, Inner Strength limit +50.

Vegetable and meat steam buns: Famous buns from Yangzhou City, delicious in taste.

Hunger -20.

“Damn, this is so unfair!

As a disciple of a reputable school, I have to gnaw on bread often, yet that morally corrupt guy has buns to eat!?” Seeing the attributes of the dropped items in front of him, Yin Buku is actually concerned about this!?

Ignoring the matter of loot split, Ye Weiming straightforwardly suggested: “The current market price for this Green Bamboo Sword is around 50 gold coins, and the Hetian Jade Pendant, although only a blue grade item, is a rare accessory.

Its price is approximately 20 gold coins.

We will split according to these ratios, whoever takes the sword should pay.

Which one do you want?”

However, in response to Ye Weiming’s proposal, Yin Buku decisively said: “I want the jade pendant.”

Being the expected answer, Ye Weiming directly sent a trade request to Yin Buku, then put the Hetian Jade Pendant and 15 gold coins on it.

Based on the previous estimated price of the equipment, the total value of the two items is 70 gold coins.

Each person should receive items worth 35 gold coins.

As Ye Weiming kept the Green Bamboo Sword, he naturally owed Yin Buku 15 gold coins.

However, after Yin Buku saw the contents of the trade, he immediately cancelled it: “The game has just begun, and I guess 15 gold coins is about all your assets even for an expert like Brother Ye, right?

I don’t want your gold coins.

Just give me that basket of buns, and promise to help me out if I encounter any trouble while doing a mission in the future.”

Ye Weiming shook his head: “We are friends.

Whenever you need help, I won’t refuse you.

We brothers must settle accounts honestly, so you must take this money.”

Under Ye Weiming’s firm insistence, Yin Buku could only accept the jade pendant and the gold coins, and of course, the basket of buns that he was more interested in.

Then, without hesitation, he took out a bun and started eating heartily.

While eating, he mumbled: “From the beginning of the game, I’ve been hesitant to spend money.

I haven’t tasted meat for several days and today I finally get a filled bun.

It’s been tough!”

“Brother Ye, do you want a couple of these?”

Looking at him enjoying his meal, Ye Weiming showed a gentle smile and sincerely said: “Thank you.”

“Thank me for what?”

Ye Weiming just smiled without answering, pointed to where Jiaotailang was killed before, and said: “You know, as a constable, there are some things that I find inconvenient to do.”

“You hypocrite!”

Laughing and cursing, Yin Buku immediately bid farewell to Ye Weiming and took a boat back to Wudang Mountain to turn in his quest.

As for Ye Weiming, he turned around and looked at the countless bodies scattered all over the place, excitement gleaming in his eyes.

It’s harvest season again!
