Chapter 26 - This Is Truly Blood, Sweat, and Money!
New Event: Global Dungeons Daily Releases
After finishing the meal, Ye Mo took Meng Li back to the office.
The little girl was very diligent. As soon as she returned to the office, she took her sword and went to the dungeon teleportation array.
Seeing this, Ye Mo felt a wave of gratification.
With such an employee, how could he not become rich?
With a wave of his big hand, he gave her another five blue potions.
One couldn't last in a dungeon without mana. This was a necessary consumable.
"Sigh! Poor again. But the harvest from this dungeon was good. I can hang it online to sell for some money."
He now had a balance of 60,000 left on him.
Ye Xiaoxiao still didn't have a suitable weapon, and the materials he consumed for crafting were also a considerable expense.
So, he had to sell off the harvest from this time as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Ye Mo opened his system backpack and began to take stock of their dungeon harvest.
First were the "Ghost God Stone *5" and "Divine Wood Grass *5". These were all high-level main materials.
They sold extremely fast and could be sold directly to the Sanctuary.
He just had to pay some tax.
Calculating it, selling them for over a hundred thousand wasn't a problem.
This was unlike the "Berserker" Class Card Ye Mo hung on "Dead Fish" Net. It had been almost a week, and it still hadn't been sold.
After deciding on the sales method for the materials, Ye Mo checked the other item rewards.
——————————————————
Holy Spirit Potion
Effect: Restores all injuries and mana, and comes with a 10-second self-healing ability.
——————————————————
"This thing is good!"
Ye Mo checked online. The price of one bottle was 20,000.
It was also a scarce item with a price but no supply.
10 bottles would be 200,000!
"These are too good. I can keep them for Meng Li and Xiaoxiao to use in case of emergencies."
Ye Mo decided to keep the Holy Spirit Potions for now.
What was left was…
——————————————————
Wood of the Divine Pillar
Transformable Equipment: Staff, Feather Fan, Necklace, Bracelet
An object watered by a god, an extremely precious equipment billet used for crafting equipment.
Effect: Equipment shaping success rate +50%.
——————————————————
"Hiss~ This is a good thing too!"
Ye Mo's eyes lit up slightly.
It just so happened that the "Calamity Demon Bone" in his hand was missing an equipment billet.
He could craft a weapon of extraordinary quality for Ye Xiaoxiao.
Previously, because he was worried about the success rate being too low, he had never dared to craft with it.
This time, a good equipment billet had arrived, so he could give it a try.
"The market price for this thing is… 500,000?"
According to Meng Li's 60% commission, did that mean that if he wanted this equipment billet, he had to pay that girl another 300,000?
Damn it!
He had a slip of the tongue back then and gave her too much commission.
"Now I owe her 100,000 instead."
Ye Mo sighed helplessly, feeling a pang of heartache.
It seemed like he had to go donate his kidneys again.
This spendthrift Ye Xiaoxiao… For her sake, he could be said to have emptied his body.
"Ding! 210,000 Yuan received in Q-Chat."
At this moment, a notification of money received suddenly came from his phone.
Ye Mo's heart leaped with joy.
The "Berserker" Class Card he hung on "Dead Fish" Net had finally been sold!
"Now, all that's left is to go to Jiang Linyue's place to restock some blue bottles."
Ever since adding Jiang Linyue on Q-Chat, Ye Mo had purchased a batch of small blue bottles from her.
The quality was guaranteed, and they were all at a 20% discount.
Thinking of this, he directly opened the chat software, composed a text, and sent a message to Jiang Linyue.
On the other side.
In a spacious, large flat.
Splash!
The sound of water in the bathroom came to an abrupt halt.
Wrapped in a bathrobe, Jiang Linyue walked out slowly from the bathroom, her fair, tender, and snow-smooth long legs striding forward.
A scorching hot sensation came from her lower abdomen, and the magic crest there glowed in bursts.
"Mmh~"
She couldn't help but whimper softly.
Her shapely brows furrowed slightly, and her breathing gradually became rapid.
She hurriedly reached out to support herself against the wall, her legs unconsciously closing together.
"Damn it! The side effect of this thing has become stronger again."
The last time she met Ye Mo was three or four days ago.
Since sending that batch of blue bottles, the two hadn't met again.
Except for asking her online to help her get a discount on "Xi Xi Net," they had barely been in contact.
"No, I have to find a chance to ask him out!"
In these days without Ye Mo, she could be said to both love and hate the magic crest.
But its effect improvement was indeed good.
In just a few short days, she had leveled up by 1 level again, reaching Level 49.
And if she entered a dungeon again tomorrow, she might be able to break through the Level 50 mark.
The only thing was that the side effect was too hard for her to bear.
However, this side effect seemed quite intelligent and wouldn't suddenly hit her during battle.
"But... What excuse should I use to ask him out?"
Honestly, in all her life, Jiang Linyue...
...had never asked a member of the opposite sex out before. In terms of male-female relationships, she was practically a blank sheet of paper.
Ding-dong!
Just as she was struggling with an excuse.
A message suddenly popped up on her phone.
She subconsciously looked and found that it was from Ye Mo.
Ye Mo: Do you still have stock over there? I need 50 medium-sized blue bottles.
Small blue bottles could restore 100 mana per bottle.
Medium ones could restore 200 at once.
But the price...
Was worlds apart.
A small bottle was 300 while a medium bottle was 800.
Jiang Linyue: You need so many at once? The organization is preparing to crusade the new dungeon at midnight tonight. There's still stock of the small ones, but for the medium ones...
'Crusade the new dungeon tonight?'
Looking at the message sent from the phone, Ye Mo paused slightly.
'Good heavens, they’re preparing to raid my old nest, right?'
'A bunch of guys who don't fear death!'
Ye Mo: Is that so? Then I'll look around again. If you have stock over there, let me know anytime.
——————————————————
Ding! Detected "Destined One's" need, triggered special mission.
Mission Content: Within 48 hours, have physical contact with the Destined One 20 times.
Mission Reward: 100 Depravity Value + Side Effect Immunity for 3 days
Mission Failure: Karmic Fire Burning Heart side effect doubled (Daily)
Current Mission Progress: 0/20
——————————————————
"This can even trigger a mission?"
Looking at the system notification box that popped up in front of her, Jiang Linyue was dumbfounded.
The reward was 100 Depravity Value, plus a three-day... holiday?
This was great! It would allow her to be normal for three days.
It could also greatly increase the magic crest's experience value, letting it take another big step towards upgrading.
It was just that this failure penalty was too severe, far from what she could bear.
Now, every four or five days was already her limit.
If it doubled, she might as well just die.
"I still have to ask him out! But... I'm already out of stock here."
'How about...'
'I mix in some of my private stock?'
It should be known that Jiang Linyue had the "Jade Spirit Sacred Body," and her body fluids came with a mana recovery effect.
And they were incomparably pure and pollution-free, almost like distilled water.
A portion of the blue bottles produced by the Heavenly Dao Alliance used her body fluids as raw material for processing.
So as long as the ratio was adjusted properly, it could totally pass for the real thing.
"Okay, let's do it like that!"
'This time it's truly blood, sweat, and money.'
Thinking of this, she composed a message again and sent it to Ye Mo.
Jiang Linyue: I still have a batch of goods here. If you need it urgently, I can give it to you at a 50% discount.
After sending the message, she stared at the phone screen, quietly waiting for the other party's reply.
Selling fake goods for the first time, she was still a bit nervous.
Ding-dong!
Ye Mo: Okay, I'll send you the address. Help me ship it over then.
'Delivery?'
'Then how can I complete the mission?'
Jiang Linyue: No! It must be a face-to-face transaction. This batch is different from the ordinary ones.
'Different from the ordinary ones?'
'How could it be different?'
Seeing this message, Ye Mo was stunned for a long while.
Though he still texted and replied: Okay, you set the time and place.

T/N - Damn, the author really went there. Is Jiang Linyue going to give the MC her bathwater or something? 😰
I’ll never get the fetishes of some people. 😅
Also, what a smart magic crest, knowing how to be the MC’s wingman. FYI, I still know how this started, considering how the author seems to want to keep this bit running. My suggestion is to not mind it or keep it out of your mind. Otherwise, you won’t be able to read this novel in peace.
E/N: True that, I took the author’s warning seriously at the start and pretty much kept my brain in a safe. Remind me to take it out for my final exams.
