Qu Jianlei went to a cheap store, but it was said to be a store, but in fact it was just an empty room.
There was a receptionist in the room, a woman in her early thirties, with a peak C-level cultivation level.
She was sitting behind the counter, and there were only a dozen or so cultivation resources displayed on the counter.
There is only one copy of each cultivation resource, including crystals that Qu Jianlei is familiar with, as well as rejuvenation pills and healing potions.
What surprised Qu Jianlei was that there were actually C-level crystals here.
But it's not a mutant beast crystal, but an alien beast crystal, and it definitely didn't come from a junk star.
Qu Jianlei couldn't help but secretly lamented that the empire's territory was really too big, and even the cultivation resources were diverse.
These displays should look like samples, with prices marked under each sample.
Some have relatively fixed prices, such as the Qi Recovery Pill. A C-level Qi Recovery Pill only costs 400 silver dollars.
The B-grade Qi Restoration Pill that Qu Jianlei received from Linghu cost one thousand and two dollars.
There are also products whose prices are not fixed, such as crystals. Because the quality varies, there is only one price range.
As for the price of crystallization, in Qu Jianlei’s opinion – it’s really not expensive!
A B-level exotic beast crystal can be sold for five to six thousand silver dollars in Central City, but here it is about four thousand.
However, according to Sophia, this price is a bit exaggerated.
Business tour guides are deeply resentful of the high cost of living in Lushui City.
It’s not just the problem of high housing prices. Everything here is expensive. In comparison, the housing prices are really not very expensive.
If you think housing prices are high, you can buy a house in a relatively remote place or build your own house, which really doesn't cost much.
The key is that the cost of daily life is too high. The sisters’ various expenses add up to well over a thousand dollars a month.
Specifically speaking of B-level alien beast crystals, there are probably only more than 3,000 in other places, but here there are only 4,000.
It's not too expensive, only 20%, but this thing is a consumable. If you calculate it over time, the number will be terrifying.
Sophia heard others say this. Although she is not a warrior with supernatural powers, she does make a living as a business tour guide.
In fact, most ordinary people are in awe of supernatural warriors, but they still like to inquire about related news.
But Sofia also knew that she couldn't talk nonsense on such occasions, otherwise the receptionist alone wouldn't be able to spare her.
She could only put her mouth close to Qu Jianlei's ear and whisper softly.
People in the empire are generally short, and her height difference is almost 30 centimeters compared to Qu Jianlei's, and she has to stand on tiptoes.
"Is this the market?" After Qu Jianlei heard about it, he was a little surprised, but... this little money is nothing.
But he was still a little curious, "Why are there no A-level crystals?"
The receptionist originally just looked at them indifferently, but after hearing this, she couldn't help but snort.
"Of course there are A-level ones, but they are not the ones you are qualified to see!"
She doesn't mean to be arrogant, it's mainly because she is responsible for distributing affordable resources and is very familiar with the supernatural warriors who come frequently.
The two people in front of me looked unfamiliar, so they came in to visit out of curiosity.
She couldn't accept the fact that this kind of tourists just watched it honestly, but they actually spoke disrespectfully.
Qu Jianlei really has no interest in arguing with the other party, he is just a C-level person.
However, Sophia was a little unhappy. She knew that pandas were also warriors with supernatural powers.
Although her clients don't want to talk about it, she still wants to seize some opportunities to please her.
So she also snorted and muttered disapprovingly, "Not qualified..."
Her tone was a bit provocative, and the receptionist gave her a cold look, "What do you want to say?"
Under this situation, Qu Jianlei had to speak out, "You are already at the peak of C level, why bother with a little girl?"
"Huh?" The woman looked at him in surprise, "Do you know me?"
She didn't feel the energy fluctuations from the other party. It was probably not a supernatural warrior, or she had heard about herself from others.
"It's my first time here," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "I don't want to argue with you."
As long as you compare his two sentences before and after, it is not difficult to know that his cultivation level should be far better than that of the other party.
Of course the female receptionist also heard it. She frowned slightly and looked at the other party suspiciously, "Are you Class A?"
"Don't pry," Qu Jianlei waved his hand disapprovingly, "I really want to make it clear...should I argue with you?"
If an A-level person doesn't reveal his identity, it's just a casual quarrel.
If he reveals his identity, the matter can't end like this - how dare a mere C-class be disrespectful to an A-class?
The female receptionist looked at him suspiciously again, but finally said nothing.
It's not that she is timid, she has seen too many supernatural warriors, including more than one or two A-level bosses.
Moreover, some of those high-level bosses have no airs, and some have really weird tempers.
The person in front of me looks young, but his demeanor is different after all, and he speaks with confidence.
Anyone who dares to pretend to be an A-level boss here must be a lunatic, but no matter how she looks at him, he doesn't seem to be insane.
So she simply ignored it and caused huge trouble to herself because of the verbal dispute. That was because she was crazy.
However, at this moment, a middle-aged man walked in outside, looking a bit majestic.
He spoke quickly, "Natasha, I want to receive this month's resources...are they here?"
"A-level resources...are here," the female receptionist glanced at Qu Jianlei intentionally or unintentionally, "Please wait a moment."
A-grade resources? The middle-aged man felt a little suspicious after hearing this. This was not the first time he purchased resources at a low price.
Natasha, what do you mean by emphasizing this in front of others?
He glanced sideways at Qu Jianlei and frowned slightly, "What, are you in trouble?"
"No," Natasha shook her head. She didn't want to offend others, but when people of her own were here, it was okay to have a crooked mouth.
"This tourist saw that there were no A-level resources on display and thought we didn't have them here."
The middle-aged man understood that the person in front of him might have said something excessive.
He looked at the other person up and down, but couldn't tell what kind of cultivation the other party had.
Anyway, it is definitely not okay for outsiders to come here and run wild. The soldiers of Lushui City must safeguard the honor of their hometown.
Moreover, Natasha is the specific handler of resources. Whether the supernatural warrior can obtain relevant resources in time also depends on her operation.
Therefore, ordinary A-level people are not willing to provoke this C-level person.
The middle-aged man frowned, but still said, "Are you... causing trouble on purpose?"
I am provoking someone, Qu Jianlei is a little helpless.
He can understand the other party's mood, just like at Blue Star, no matter how rich the boss of Party B is, he must be polite when meeting Party A's accountant.
Otherwise, if the little accountant just puts up some obstacles, the big boss will be very busy.
But just because he understands it, doesn't mean he can accept it - directly accuse me of causing trouble?
A cold light flashed in his eyes, he flipped his wrist, and there were already two Grade A crystals in his hand.
It's not the mutant beast crystal from the garbage star, but the alien beast crystal obtained from old Ivan.
He spoke with a half-smile, "Not only did I cause trouble, but I also stole two A-grade crystals from you... and then what?"
"I'm rough," the middle-aged man understood when he heard this. The other party was really angry.
Take out two alien beast crystals, and unless you snatch them for yourself, someone might be killed!
What's even worse is that the other party also has storage space!
He also wants to save face, and he doesn't believe that the other party will definitely be able to defeat him, but is it worth it for such a trivial matter?
Several thoughts flashed through him quickly, and the middle-aged man finally waved his hand and expressed it calmly.
"I didn't expect you to be really A-level, with a very high level of Qi control...be careful what you say next time."
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Qu Jianlei frowned slightly. He was most annoyed by this guy who ignored him and kept doing it.
Not only do you want to criticize me, but you also ask me to be more careful when I speak. Is my physique really so inviting?
He snorted softly, "Then I'll wait for you and see what resources you are going to take away today!"
He really wanted to keep a low profile, but he just endured it because his thoughts were unreasonable.
As for the house we just rented and the things we bought...it's gone if it's gone. At worst, we'll have to live on another planet.
"Huh?" The middle-aged man was also annoyed. He felt that he had given in, but he didn't expect that the other party was not finished yet.
We are already A-level, who wants to be treated like this? "What do you mean...are you planning to rob me?"
"I won't rob, I'll bet with you," Qu Jianlei tossed the crystal in his hand and spoke expressionlessly.
"Tell me, how many of these crystals can you produce, and I'll accompany you... It's best to fight to the death."
"Are you crazy?" The middle-aged man rolled his eyes helplessly, "Are you going to fight for a few words?"
Qu Jianlei waved his hand and spoke seriously, "It's not a fight to the death, I'm going to kill you... If you're not convinced, you can try it!"
The middle-aged man glanced at him, hesitated, and finally didn't answer.
He turned to look at Natasha and said coldly, "What is going on?"
He hated this young man's arrogance, but the other party's confidence really made him feel a little numb.
When Natasha saw this, she couldn't have imagined that she had really hit the wall today?
It's useless for her to deny it at this time, because the store is under surveillance, and if you play it back, you'll understand everything.
So she could only stutter and explain what happened just now.
During the statement, she certainly would not forget to excuse herself, but she only dared to defend herself slightly.
After hearing what she said, the middle-aged man became more and more speechless, "Just because of this little thing?"
"It's not a trivial matter," Qu Jianlei said, expressionlessly, "Aren't I making trouble?"
"You're not done yet, are you?" The middle-aged man became more and more angry and turned to glare at Qu Jianlei.
"It's not a big deal, but you insist on insisting on it... How about your A-level magnanimity?"
Qu Jianlei frowned, and then said calmly, "No matter how bad-tempered I am, I won't just throw dirty water on others!"
