Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 278: Don’t Let Him Taste the Sweet Delights

Zhao Xiaochun was standing on the back of the giant stingray with light blue patterns. When she heard Shi Xu’s words, she immediately rolled her eyes and said, “Shi Zhu[1], how is the bankruptcy of your five chain restaurants related to me? Whenever I visit your store, I am a spending customer.”

It was fine if Zhao Xiaochun didn’t say anything, but once she spoke, Shi Xu’s eyes turned redder. “Zhao Xiaochun, my name is Shi Xu, not Shi Zhu!”

Shi Xu was only able to contract defense-type/thunder-type feys because of his talent. Due to the rarity of defense-type/thunder-type feys and the expensive costs of nurturing such feys, Shi Xu had always lacked resources.

Putting aside the resources that Shi Xu had invested to nurture trump cards after being in the Radiance Hundred Sequence for so many years, he had spent countless Radiance dollars just to nurture his Platinum IV/Fantasy I Silent Thunder Armored Crocodile. After all, it had activated the flood dragon bloodline, and Shi Xu had to make sure the flood dragon bloodline would be constantly activated.

Actually, during the many years Shi Xu had been a Radiance Hundred Sequence member, he had earned quite a bit of extra money. Shi Xu had poured all the extra money on the investment of chain restaurants.

When opening a restaurant in the Radiance Federation, as long as the restaurant’s ingredients had many varieties and the food ingredients’ grade was relatively higher, there was no worry that they wouldn’t sell.

Shi Xu had originally wanted to properly operate these five chain restaurants and earn enough resources to nurture his feys. In fact, Shi Xu had spent great amounts of money to poach an experienced manager from the Radiance Federation’s most famous Spirit Food Pavilion.

Everything had been well-prepared, but Shi Xu’s mistake was to set his restaurant with a buffet model. Furthermore, all five of his buffet restaurants had been targeted by Zhao Xiaochun.

In less than one year since Zhao Xiaochun had targeted the restaurants, Shi Xu’s dreams of accumulating resources with the chain restaurants had been destroyed. All of the savings that he had accumulated painstakingly for many years had resulted in a loss.

Shi Xu now had to face the problem of all the spiritual ingredients and resources required to evolve his feys. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and become a Working Emperor, working ten jobs as a single person.

Shi Xu was here at this controlled Class 3 abyss dimensional rift because he wanted to take the spare time to accumulate more resources before the start of the S Tournament.

Shi Xu was so angry that he nearly got the hiccups. However, before Shi Xu could say anything, Zhao Xiaochun tossed the pork trotters that she had gnawed into bones and cleaned her hand before saying, “Shi Xu, the pork trotters that I am gnawing right now isn’t as good as the pork trotters from your store’s Silver Tendon Thigh Black Pig! Your store’s grilled ocean fish is not bad either!”

When speaking, Zhao Xiaochun was even licking her lips. It was unknown if she had an aftertaste of the pork trotters earlier or because of the food from Shi Xu’s store.

Chen Hongfeng and Fang Duoduo exchanged glances before casting a sympathetic look at Shi Xu.

Shi Xu is really such a pitiful man!

Shi Xu was so angry that he was patting on the Silent Thunder Armored Crocodile’s armored back, and it was letting out a ‘thud thud’ sound. The Silent Thunder Armored Crocodile thought that its master was playing with it, so it contentedly tilted its head and let out a comfortable call.

However, Shi Xu’s hand was feeling the pain as he was patting. He then said with anguish, “Zhao Xiaochun, had it not been for you, the money earned from my five chain restaurants would have been enough to purchase one Bronze/Epic fey every single day!”

Zhao Xiaochun let out a snort and turned around to pull Fang Duoduo and Chen Hongfeng over. “The two of you use some pee to wake him up. If you have diabetes, then don’t come over. Don’t let him taste the sweet delights.”

Zhao Xiaochun’s words immediately caused Lin Yuan, Shi Xu, Long Tao, Fang Duoduo, and Chen Hongfeng a drop of cold sweat to roll down their faces.

Was this the kind of words that a lady should be speaking in public?

Long Tao involuntarily held his forehead while rubbing his temples as he felt a pain surging in his head again. Long Tao truly felt that he should always criticize Fang Duoduo when he quarreled with Zhao Xiaochun.

After witnessing Zhao Xiaochun’s current performance, Long Tao felt that he had truly wronged Fang Duoduo in the past!

Zhao Xiaochun was a person that couldn’t keep calm no matter who she was with!

However, Long Tao’s eyes were now fixed on Lin Yuan. The latter might have already withdrawn the Bronze X/Legend Blue Flash Purple Butterfly, but Long Tao only took a single glance to recognize Lin Yuan’s faint aura.

The aura coming off from Lin Yuan was very similar to the aura from Black that Long Tao had seen on the Star Web. However, Long Tao felt a trace of difference after observing it carefully.

The Black on the Star Web gave off an aloof and reticent feeling, but Long Tao constantly felt a familiar youthful feeling from Black. Now that Long Tao met Black in person, that familiar youthful feeling was even more intense.

However, the aloof feeling on the Star Web was now gone, and it was replaced with a tenacious and indifferent feeling.

As Long Tao paid more attention to Black, he felt that Black was giving him a stronger sense of familiarity. Unfortunately, Long Tao wasn’t able to recall where this familiar feeling came from.

Long Tao jumped off the Platinum II/Fantasy II Rapid Fear Ray and walked in front of Lin Yuan.

“I am the Dragon Gate Guild Club’s team leader for the S Tournament main team, Long Tao. There are less than three days before the S Tournament’s transfer period ends. Our Dragon Gate Guild Club’s main team is still lacking a member. I wonder if you are willing to join the Dragon Gate Guild Club’s main team?”

Before Lin Yuan could react, Shi Xu was rather surprised by Long Tao’s words. Putting aside the fact that Long Tao was Sequence #3 of the Radiance Hundred, just his status as the S Tournament main team leader of the Dragon Gate Guild Club was already too prestigious for Long Tao to do such things without consideration.

The Guild Alliance’s S Tournament was about to begin, so how could anyone still be inviting others into their team? It seemed like the Dragon Gate Guild Club was really still lacking a main team member until now.

Shi Xu wasn’t just the main team member of the S Tournament. He was part of the Rhine Guild Club, which had obtained the champion’s crown position during last year’s S Tournament.

The Rhine Guild Club had also become the top guild club among all during this year. Shi Xu had always treated the Dragon Gate Guild Club as his team’s formidable foe during this year’s S Tournament.

But from the looks of it, it seemed like the Dragon Gate Guild Club was still unable to contest with the Rhine Guild Club this year.

Be it Long Tao, Zhao Xiaochun, Fang Duoduo, and the one other main team member who wasn’t here, they were all part of the Radiance Hundred Sequence. The combination of members from the Dragon Gate Guild Club’s main team was very luxurious, and if they included another Radiance Hundred Sequence member, they would be considered an all-star team.

The Dragon Gate Guild Club’s main team members had formidable individual strength, but four power offense-type spirit qi professionals would be the same as having four reckless members. Without any support-type, defense-type, and healing-type spirit qi professionals to uphold the endurance, then no matter how powerful each individual team member was, it was impossible to stay standing in the S Tournament’s team battle.

The Radiance Federation’s S Tournament had never been an individual game.

When Lin Yuan heard Long Tao’s abrupt proposal, he was startled. Then, he started to mutter.
