Chapter 549: Duan He Breathes Raggedly
Duan He was stunned when he saw the message from Recluse Study.
What? Did this brat find himself a Master?
Duan He’s first reaction was to wonder if his naive nephew had been scammed, but he soon remembered how devious his nephew was.
Rather than being worried that his nephew was scammed, he should be more worried that his nephew was scamming someone else.
When has my nephew ever gotten the short end of the stick? Wait. Is he trying to scam me too?
Other than the rare Class 3 Creation Masters, all the people who had attained a title and had come to be known by that title were Class 4 Creation Masters.
As long as a Class 4 Creation Master was willing to accept his nephew as a disciple, there would only be gains and no losses.
Even if he was only a disciple in name, he would already be able to receive the teachings of a Class 4 Creation Master.
As long as his nephew could learn from the Class 4 Creation Master and use the knowledge to strengthen his own skills, Duan He did not mind if his nephew was an in-name or direct disciple.
Duan He had no idea which Class 4 Creation Master his nephew was able to snag.
His nephew spent five hours every day on Star Tower and had reached level 60 at least.
Did he meet the Class 4 Creation Master in one of the matches on Star Tower?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis thought seemed ludicrous to Duan He.
Even if the Class 4 Creation Master was not skilled at fighting, their feys could sustain a significant amount of damage.
Cut Off The Flowing River: “Where did you find a Master?”
Recluse Study was slightly regretting messaging his uncle privately.
All of the available group members had come online, and the group welfare auction was going to start in three minutes.
However, his uncle was asking questions incessantly.
How am I supposed to watch the show if I’m too busy answering all my uncle’s questions?
Recluse Study decided to go for the quick fix.
Recluse Study: “We met in a group chat.”
Duan He was shocked by Recluse Study’s reply.
What kind of group chat allows you to chat up a Class 4 Creation Master into becoming your Master? This is like a blind man going fishing and ending up with Heaven and Earth Rouge Queen Scallop.
Cut Off The Flowing River: “What group chat? How does that land you a Class 4 Creation Master as a Master? Don’t lie to me! Otherwise, I’ll tell your mother about how you got your staff to do all your holiday homework. She’ll beat you up!”
His uncle’s message almost drove Recluse Study mad.
Those two things are completely irrelevant! We were just talking. Why did he have to use such a cruel tactic? If my mother finds out that I had help finishing my homework, I’ll never recover from the beating she’s sure to give me.
Recluse Study wanted to argue, but the group welfare auction was starting in one minute!
Recluse Study decided to lay in the bed he made.
Recluse Study: “The small fan club on Star Web where you bought the Flower Brocade Pearls for me. Uncle, didn’t we agree that I’ll spend every day focusing on training Creation Master skills in the breeding room in exchange for your discretion? You can’t go back on your word! Uncle, I can’t talk anymore. There’s an auction for heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls in the group. I have to go see how it goes!”
His nephew’s message befuddled Duan He.
What’s going on?
Duan He thought his nephew’s words over. He still remembered the small store on Star Web where he bought the Flower Brocade Pearls through blind trade.
Duan He had managed to snag a trade for a batch of Flower Brocade Pearls. He had only spent ten mid-grade strange flames to obtain a stalk of Flower Brocade Pearls.
An expert like Duan He did not care much for something like Flower Brocade Pearls, but he had thought that the owner of the store that had accepted the trade was insane.
He sold the Flower Brocade Pearls in his Star Web store even though they would be auctioned off within seconds in the Rare Lifeform Pavilion.
But after talking to his nephew, Duan He felt that his perspective as an emperor-class expert had completely changed.
Since when did small stores on Star Web start selling precious items like the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, which even emperor-class experts found challenging to procure?
Duan He did not have a habit of buying from Star Web, and he checked his transaction history. He discovered that he had bought the Flower Brocade Pearls through blind trade from a store called Purchase With No Loss Fey Store.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe had deleted all messages other than private messages.
As such, Duan He had not received an invite to the group chat after he traded for the Flower Brocade Pearls.
However, now that Duan He thought about it, he would not have joined the group chat anyway. If he did, he would probably just turn his nose up at the trinkets being sold and eventually turn off the chat notifications.
Yet, he joined the Purchase With No Loss store without hesitation now.
Duan He did not do it to prove the validity of his nephew’s words, but because he understood his nephew. His nephew might be spiteful, but he was not a liar.
Duan He joined the Purchase With No Loss store fan club because his main fey needed several heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls in order to evolve.
Since his nephew had mentioned that there would be an auction taking place in the group, joining it would save Duan He the effort of having to negotiate a trade with a Creation Master that nurtured Elemental Shellfish.
Although he was poor and lacked resources at the moment, Duan He was confident in his status as an emperor-class expert, and he was certain that no one in the group would be able to snatch it from him.
Lin Yuan planned on starting the group welfare at ten o’clock. However, he did not expect a newcomer to swoop in right at ten o’clock.
Lin Yuan knew that the Purchase With No Loss store was not currently selling any items, which meant that this person had purchased from the store before but had not decided to join then.
Although the group welfare auction was about to start, a welcome was still necessary for the newcomer.
The ever-active Recluse Study suddenly fell silent. He felt like a heavy stone had landed on his foot. If his uncle was in the group, how was he going to continue acting freely in the group?
Duan He did not anticipate the enthusiasm from the group members of the fan club.
A few tens of them had the same level of activity as a few thousand people.
Shortly after, Duan He noticed the 12 9.9 purity water-, wind-, fire-, and earth-elemental heavenly-maiden-grade pearls that Lin Yuan was auctioning off.
Along with Duan He’s astoundment, his breathing became ragged.
