Collect the rags and I become a clairvoyant doctor

Chapter 2459 Demanding the Crystal

Perhaps because of Li Yan's example of offering two thousand crystals, the next two bottles of wine were sold for the same price.

Seeing this, Qin Fei was actually a little disappointed. He originally thought that these three bottles of wine would sell for a good price, at the very least over ten thousand.

But in reality, he overestimated the value of alcohol.

For those who love to drink, fine wine is indeed something they enjoy, but liking something doesn't necessarily mean owning it, especially when the price exceeds their budget.

If they used those few thousand crystals to buy cultivation supplies, they could buy a whole lot of things. It seems unnecessary for them to spend the money on wine.

Furthermore, since drinking this wine wouldn't change their spiritual realm, it didn't receive much enthusiastic support.

Sometimes, all we can say is that imagination is wonderful, but reality is a bit cruel.

The three bottles of wine only sold for a total of 6,000 crystals. After deducting the handling fee, he only made 5,400 crystals. Compared to his expenses, he actually lost several thousand crystals.

After the auction ended, Qin Fei went to find Fatty Ge immediately.

"Brother Qin, this... this is really a bit embarrassing. I didn't expect things to turn out this way."

Upon seeing Qin Fei, a hint of shame flashed across Fatty Ge's face.

Qin Fei had deliberately saved his three bottles of fine wine for last, but he didn't expect that people weren't very enthusiastic about them, resulting in only a few thousand crystals being sold for the three bottles.

"It's alright. Life is full of disappointments. I'm already very satisfied with selling these crystals," Qin Fei comforted the other person.

"That's the best way to put it. Here are the crystals." As he spoke, Fatty Ge handed a large pile of crystals to Qin Fei.

It was only after Qin Fei counted it briefly that he realized there was a full six thousand.

"Didn't you say before that the auction would deduct a 10% handling fee?"

"Why didn't you deduct it beforehand?" Qin Fei asked.

"I originally thought that three bottles of wine would definitely fetch a sky-high price, but in the end, I only got this many crystals, so let's forget about the handling fee," Fatty Ge said, waving his hand.

With his business so large and the huge profits he made from this auction, he really didn't care about the handling fee of a mere few hundred crystals.

"This is fucking terrible..."

Seeing that the other party did not charge him a handling fee, Qin Fei, who originally wanted to ask him to return the crystals, became a little embarrassed to ask.

He had wasted a lot of money buying that black stone because of Saito's meddling. Qin Fei originally came here to ask the fat man for a refund, but he didn't expect the other party to offer to waive the handling fee first.

In that case, how could Qin Fei possibly have the face to go to the other party to discuss returning the crystals?

Qin Fei didn't know if this was intentional or if the other party genuinely felt embarrassed to charge him a commission for selling the wine too cheaply.

It can only be said that Qin Fei is actually very conflicted right now. He really wants to get the extra crystals back, but the other party didn't charge a handling fee for helping him sell the wine. What should he do?

After weighing the options in his mind, Qin Fei finally decided to take the initiative to speak to the other party.

Face is worthless, but crystals are real hard currency, and he has to get back what he gave away!

"Shopkeeper, you probably remember that I wasted a lot of money on black stones before, right?"

"You want me to return the extra crystals to you?" Fatty Ge wasn't stupid; upon hearing this, he immediately guessed Qin Fei's intentions.

"That's right!"

Since the other party had already brought it up, Qin Fei had no reason not to admit it. He answered frankly, "I had to pay so many more crystals because of Qi Laogou's price gouging, but with my help, didn't you also earn an extra 20,000 crystals?"

“This matter should be handled separately. Although you helped me earn crystals, didn’t you also retaliate against others because of it?”

"At most, this is a mutually beneficial arrangement."

Fatty Ge was very clear-headed and immediately came up with a reasonable explanation.

Qin Fei wasn't there to argue or reason with him. He said directly, "Give me back 9,500 crystals, and we can continue doing business together. Otherwise, I'll go find someone else."

Do you still have any wine to sell?

Fatty Ge was a smart man. As soon as he heard Qin Fei say that, he immediately realized what was going on and began to ask more questions.

Although the three bottles of wine that Qin Fei brought out this time did not have the desired effect, they can still turn this stuff into a long-term business.

After all, alcohol is like a magic potion; it's something everyone needs in the long run.

"Of course I have the wine, but it depends on your attitude," Qin Fei replied calmly.

His implication was quite clear: the crystal had to be returned first.

"Since we've come this far, I'll return the crystal to you!"

Their Ge family exchange made a lot of money from this auction, so he could definitely afford to produce more than nine thousand crystals.

With a wave of his hand, Fatty Ge took out all the crystals, preparing to return them to Qin Fei.

However, just as the two were about to begin the handover, Fatty Ge suddenly stopped.

He looked up at Qin Fei and asked, "I can return the crystal to you, but before that, can I ask you a question?"

"question?"

"What's the problem?" Qin Fei asked, puzzled.

"I've examined that black stone myself, and I've also had other members of my family look at it, but none of us have noticed anything strange about it. Why did you buy it?"

"They even went so far as to spend tens of thousands of crystals?"

Although Qin Fei had spent 10,000 crystals to buy the black stone in order to spite Saito, Fatty Ge felt that things were probably not that simple.

Perhaps Qin Fei had already seen through the secret of this stone, which is why he bought it.

Now that Qin Fei, the person in question, has appeared before him, he naturally wants to find out the truth, which can be considered as fulfilling his curiosity.

"The price of tens of thousands of crystals was just to annoy the Qi family. As for what secrets this stone holds, I can only say that I was attracted by its beautiful radiance. Is that enough?" Qin Fei said very seriously.

"Not enough, I feel like you're trying to fool me!" Fatty Ge said, shaking his head.

"If you don't tell me the truth today, I won't give these crystals back to you."

Although this fat guy is a shrewd businessman, he is also an ordinary person. When something they have never understood is suddenly revealed by someone else, and they still don't know how that secret works.

In this situation, his curiosity would naturally be aroused.

If Qin Fei didn't know the secret of this stone, then why did he bring the crystal to buy it?

So he's different from everyone else?

"It seems you won't act until you see the benefits. In that case, I'll show you what secrets this stone holds."

As he spoke, Qin Fei took the black stone out of his spatial ring, and the next second, he poured a surge of power into it.
