Chapter 23: Raising the Price

Lin Qi immediately prepared 50 sweet potatoes, and then the large man gave Lin Qi a gold coin without saying a word.

“Great!”

After Lin Qi received the money, his face lit up with joy. He had not expected that the first sale he made was worth a gold coin.

Ming Shen carried the box of sweet potatoes and stuffed one into his mouth. He was very familiar with regular sweet potatoes.

However, when that sweet potato melted in his mouth, it was sweet and fragrant. His eyes immediately widened, and he could not wait to put the second one into his mouth.

He, who had been silent all that time, finally spat out a single word, “Delicious!”

Seeing that the giant was fine after eating, everyone walked over to Lin Qi to buy breakfast.

At once, the second floor was full of people. Everyone could enjoy a delicious breakfast, but at the same time, everyone recognized Lin Qi.

As the young master of the Lin family in New Moon City, he actually set up a stall here to sell breakfast. How embarrassing was that?

Both Yu Meng and Lewis from the prominent families of New Moon City were also embarrassed by this.

“Hey, Lin Qi, are you obsessed with money? Why do you have to set up a stall everywhere?”

“You would never understand!”

Lin Qi refuted Lewis with one sentence.

However, Lewis said indifferently, “You’re embarrassing the people of New Moon City, don’t you know that?”

“I’m just embarrassing the Lin family. This has nothing to do with the Leonard family, right?”

“You!”

Lewis found it hard to refute. After all, that matter had nothing to do with him. He turned around angrily and said to Yu Meng, “See? This kid clearly has a problem.”

Yu Meng was actually displeased by Lin Qi’s behavior. After all, they were both nobles, so why had he just acted as he pleased?

Lin Qi did not care about the eyes of the world. He could do whatever he wanted.

Of course, there was only one thing on Lin Qi’s mind一the system upgrades.

He thought that as long as he upgraded the system, he would be able to survive on that continent filled with wonder.

For the sake of his goal, what did it matter if he was ridiculed a few times?

“Hey, you!”

Just when Lin Qi was selling his delicacies like hotcakes, a sneering voice suddenly came from the side.

“Isn’t this the young master of the Lin Family? Why is he selling breakfast here?”

Looking at the direction of the voice, he saw Chen Lin from Storm City, who was also the most popular participant in the trial.

As a rare fire mage, he naturally put himself on a pedestal. He raised his head and a smile appeared on his face.

“Hahaha, Young Master Lin, you must be having a hard time like this, right?”

Chen Lin held back his anger yesterday after being ignored by Lin Qi so he wanted to vent it out. However, he could not vent it out physically in that city. Therefore, he wanted to use that opportunity to mock Lin Qi.

“Is your family bankrupt? Or are you too useless? Even your family can’t bear to waste money on you.”

“Isn’t the Lin family the number one family in New Moon City? Isn’t it shameful to set up a stall here to sell things?”

Hearing his sarcasm, Lin Qi did not even bat an eyelash. He leaned against the wall and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He said with an indifferent expression, “Are you going to buy it or not? If you’re not going to buy it, don’t hinder my business, okay?”

After hearing Lin Qi’s deadpanned words, Chen Lin wanted to bother him even more. He put on a serious face and said casually, “Well, seeing that you’re so pitiful, I’ll come and buy from you. Give me a sweet potato!”

“Okay, ten gold coins!”

As Lin Qi’s words were spoken, Chen Lin’s expression suddenly froze. He looked up and could not help but ask, “You… What did you say?”

Lin Qi took a deep breath and continued, “A sweet potato costs ten gold coins!”

“You’re robbing me, aren’t you? A single sweet potato costs ten gold coins? You just sold 50 sweet potatoes to that fatty for one gold coin. How come you’re selling a sweet potato for ten gold coins to me?”

“The price has gone up!”

“Lies! You raised the price just to push my buttons, right?”

Lin Qi did not say anything, but his eyes already told Chen Lin that he was right.

Chen Lin snorted coldly, “Humph, do you think you’re the only one who has breakfast to sell?”

Just as he finished speaking, a voice shouted from the kitchen on the first floor below.

“Breakfast has been sold out. You can no longer order!”

As he heard that, Chen Lin was immediately petrified. His eyes showed that he was embarrassed, and a wave of humiliation prevented him from saying anything.

Lin Qi could not help but laugh, and then he asked, “Now what? Do you still want to buy it?”

“It’s so expensive… Only a fool would buy it!”

“Oh? Don’t tell me the Chen family of Storm City can’t even pay up ten gold coins? Are you going to starve just to keep ten gold coins? I suppose you won’t since you’re a participant who’s a hundred times better than me!”

Meeting the gazes of so many people, Chen Lin gritted his teeth. However, before he could speak, a rumbling sound came from his stomach.

Instantly, the surrounding became quiet. Everyone’s gaze fell on Chen Lin.

The air was suffocating due to the heavy awkwardness.

Chen Lin’s face flushed red as he stared fiercely at Lin Qi. However, he still obediently took out ten gold coins. From the looks of it, he was so aggrieved that he was about to cry.

“Give… Give me a sweet potato!”

Chen Lin suppressed his anger and handed ten gold coins to Lin Qi.

Lin Qi took the ten gold coins and was overjoyed. He immediately shouted, “Alright! Here is a sweet potato for you!”

The moment Chen Lin took the sweet potato, he had a monstrous hatred for Lin Qi. He swore that once Lin Qi dared to walk out of the Black Wind Castle, he would definitely teach him a lesson.

At that moment, the mysterious girl that Lin Qi was staring at the day before slowly walked over.

“How much is the sweet potato?”

Lin Qi was stunned for a moment and subconsciously replied, “Ten… Ten silver coins!”

“Oh… Give me one.”

The girl handed Lin Qi ten silver coins, and Lin Qi naturally picked up a large sweet potato for her.

“What?”

Suddenly, Chen Lin could not hold back his anger anymore. He immediately rushed over, pointed at Lin Qi, and shouted, “You b*stard, how can you sell it to her for ten silver coins and charge me for ten gold coins?”

“It’s very simple!”

“Huh?”

“Because the price has been lowered!”

“You!”

Chen Lin was so enraged that he almost exploded. He clenched his fist tightly, and his other hand was pointed at Lin Qi’s face. His eyes were fierce. “Lin Qi, when you leave the Black Wind Castle, I’ll make you kneel down and apologize to me!”

“Oh!”

Lin Qi did not care at all. To him, Chen Lin was just a little kid in his eyes. He was the so-called king of the small mountain due to him being a fire mage. However, Lin Qi’s goal was not that mountain, it was the entire continent.

After a morning of hard work, Lin Qi had earned some money. However, it was still far from enough to upgrade the system. He had to think of other ways to get some money.

“Young Master Lin!”

At that moment, Luther came from behind and said to Lin Qi, “Master, do you want money?”
