Chapter 1221: Hundred Flowers Treasure List
Pang Badi's eyes bulged wide, a look of utter shock on his face!
(͡ಠ口͡ಠ) "Wha... what? Just this cookie actually has such miraculous effects? Are you sure?"
Jiangnan sneered inwardly. As expected of a businessman, Pang Badi was also an old actor!
Then he grinned: (๑¯ิٹ¯ิ) "What? Don't believe me? Why don't you try eating one?"
Pang Badi was shrewd and extremely patient. Jiangnan felt something was off!
Although he didn't know if he'd try to screw me over, it's always good to screw him first!
Just in case!
Pang Badi's heart burned with desire. He'd been wanting to get his hands on this cookie for a long time, but never had the chance!
Over at Lantis Academy, Craig was keeping a close watch!
Isn't this the perfect opportunity?
Once he got the cookie, he might be able to tame a whole bunch of spirit pets for Haitang!
"Then let's give it a try?"
Pang Badi was about to reach for it, but Alpha stopped him!
(٥°᷄益°᷅) "Boss! Don't eat it! If you do, this year's performance for our Haitang might as well be for nothing!"
If he ate it, that devil Jiangnan would definitely come back with a sky-high price later!
Having just been burned, how could he fall for your trick again?
Still trying to trap us? No way!
Pang Badi shuddered and quickly pulled his hand back. He'd almost fallen for this kid's scheme again!
He forced a grin: "Since you say so, little brother, I'll take your word for it!"
"So, what base price do you have in mind?"
Jiangnan pursed his lips:
(๑°᷄৺°᷅) "One hundred million!"
Pang Badi: !!!
(ꐦʘ口ʘ) "What? What the hell? Wasn't it one million per piece? How did it become one hundred million?"
Isn't this just blatant robbery?
Back at Lantis Academy, you were clearly selling them for one million each!
Jiangnan had a sinister grin on his face!
(΄◞ิꇴ◟ิ‵) "Oh? When did I ever say the Zodiac Cookie was one million a piece?"
"What? Brother Pang, have you seen these before?"
Pang Badi's expression froze!
If I say yes, wouldn't that be indirectly admitting to sneaking into the academy to audit classes?
And if he went and ratted me out to the Yu Guo royal family, that'd be another headache!
But if I don't say anything, I'd just have to tough it out and get screwed?
Can you be any more shameless?
[From Pang Badi: Resentment +1000!]
୧(ꐦ⁼̴ヮ⁼̴) "Ah ha... ah haha, I just thought this cookie seemed a bit too expensive, right?"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "Just this one piece, base price one hundred million, no less!"
"Besides, if this cookie is auctioned off and sent to a professional lab, there's a high probability they could reverse-engineer the formula from analyzing the ingredients!"
"Doesn't that deserve a small target?"
Pang Badi's eyes flickered. In that case, I'll just have to have an insider bid it up at the auction!
If they could analyze the production formula, it would definitely be worth the price!
"Fine! Then it's settled!"
Jiangnan beamed: "Great! So can we redefine the commission issue now?"
"Just now, when I offered the Space Spirit Pearl, you reduced two percent from your original thirty percent commission!"
"Now that this cookie is so precious, shouldn't you reduce it by another two percent?"
"To summarize: 3 - 2 - 2 = -1! So you have to give me back one percent of the profit. That's not too much to ask, right?"
The moment he said that, the whole room fell silent!
Alpha was so shocked by Jiangnan's mathematical prowess that he took two steps back!
Pang Badi was so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood!
(ꐦ｀益´) "Are you saying that I should auction for you, earn not a single cent, and even have to give you an extra percent of profit?"
[From Pang Badi: Resentment +1000!]
Yao Hong stared blankly at Jiangnan!
If I'm not mistaken, we came here to bargain. You not only bargained it down to nothing, but you also want to take money out of his pocket?
You're truly something!
Now Yao Hong kind of understood how Jiangnan had amassed his fortune!
Jiangnan looked totally natural!
(｡•︠～•︡｡) "Right! Why would you say you're not earning anything? Aren't you earning a reputation?"
Pang Badi's face darkened. He wanted nothing more than to strangle Jiangnan!
(ꐦ▀̿益▀̿) "Right? Do you have any shame?"
Jiangnan blinked, his eyes wide with shock!
∑(°口°๑) "Does Haitang also deal in human organ trafficking? What would I need face for? That's illegal, isn't it?"
Emma: ᥬ(ﾉ)ԾжԾ(ヾ)᭄ Pfft～
Emma immediately turned around to face the wall, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably!
"Bang!"
The teacup in Pang Badi's hand was crushed to pieces!
"Impossible! I can do business without making a profit, but I absolutely cannot take a loss! Asking me to reverse the gears? No way!"
Jiangnan nodded: (｡ớกờ) "Alright! Then don't earn anything. Just let Haitang take zero commission, okay?"
Pang Badi: ???
You tricked me again!
I was just speaking figuratively, I didn't mean I actually wouldn't earn anything!
[From Pang Badi: Resentment +1000!]
He finally understood—Jiangnan truly had no shame!
"It's our first cooperation, shouldn't you give me a little token? Can't I take a small commission?"
Jiangnan looked reluctant: "Fine, I'll take the loss. Let you take 0.001 percent of the profit."
Pang Badi ground his teeth so hard they creaked. That's really just a tiny bit?
We're talking three decimal places here. This is the first time I've ever heard of such a split ratio!
But Pang Badi didn't want to haggle anymore. Jiangnan's goods definitely contained something he absolutely had to have!
He waved his hand: "Fine, fine, fine! Let's leave it at that. Don't forget to show up tomorrow. I won't be entertaining you any longer!"
With that, he turned and left the reception room, looking disgusted. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid he'd lose control and start a fight!
Jiangnan chuckled slyly, then quickly called out to Alpha: "Oh, and for that Space Spirit Pearl, set the base price at five hundred million dollars. No less, got it!"
[From Alpha: Resentment +1000!]
The group left the Tianbao Convention Center in high spirits. Yao Hong looked at Jiangnan as if she were looking at a god!
(˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅୧୨) "Making Haitang take only 0.001 percent commission? That's never happened in history! Boss is amazing! I love you!"
Jiangnan puffed out his chest, looking smug!
But he was a bit puzzled. Why was Pang Badi so eager to have him attend the auction?
Enduring repeatedly? What exactly was he up to?
...
In the afternoon, Haitang released the list of Hundred Flowers Treasures on the International Headlines Network!
Title: Haitang will hold the Hundred Flowers Grand Auction tomorrow. Here are the hundred treasures that will appear at the auction!

The image listed exactly one hundred rare treasures!
Top-tier spirit materials, evolution fruits, Ancient Gusu relics, curse inscription stone tablets!
There were even complete spirit realms up for auction, with spirit realm cores put on display!
If you could think of it, it was there. If it wasn't, you couldn't buy it!
Jiangnan even saw the apprenticeship slot of a Dao Heaven Rank powerhouse on the list!
That could be sold too?
Of course, Jiangnan's Space Spirit Pearl and the Scallion Holy Sword were on the list!
But the sheep cookie wasn't!
Jiangnan snickered to himself. So Pang Badi wanted to bid on it himself? That's exactly what I want!
The discussion below was incredibly heated!
"Holy crap, these treasures... we can only look and drool. I'll never get even one in my lifetime!"
"Hmph! Do you think rich people are happy? You can't even imagine the happiness of the rich! Buying a spirit realm? Oh my god!"
"Wait, do I see a bunch of scallions? The Hundred Flowers Grand Auction, such a top-tier event, is selling vegetables? Ancient Gusu relics? Are you kidding me?"
"Haitang is too fierce! They even got their hands on a Space Spirit Pearl? And a Diamond Rank one at that? Tsk tsk... I wonder if Boss Nan will buy it..."
Comments poured in one after another. The hype for the Hundred Flowers Grand Auction shot up!
Countless big shots, tycoons, and top forces from all over the world were eyeing the auction!
After all, at their level, money was just a number. The treasures they wanted were mostly things money couldn't buy!
And the Hundred Flowers Grand Auction was an opportunity.
...
Hongguo, Ma'er Island!
Qian Benying was fretting as she looked at the general world spirit realm directory!
There were only a few space-type spirit realms in the world, all tightly controlled by various countries!
They weren't open to outsiders, and some only opened their doors once every few years!
But she still had an empty Starlight skill slot!
Old man Miyazaki had one in his hands, but this guy's brain was fried!
Right now, he was lying on the floor, giggling "hehe" as drool pooled beneath him, playing with a powered toy train!
Just then, Liuhua rushed over like a gust of wind!
ﾚ(ﾟヮﾟ;)ﾍ "Sakura-chan! We have to go to Yu Guo right now!"
Qian Benying shuddered!
(´◔﹏◔`) "Go to Yu Guo? Are you crazy? That devil Jiangnan is over there causing chaos, dropping nuclear bombs in the imperial capital! Do I want to go offer myself up?"
Liuhua quickly shoved her phone into Qian Benying's hands!
"Haitang's Hundred Flowers Grand Auction has a Space Spirit Pearl! And it's Diamond Rank! Space Strangle!"
Qian Benying's eyes went wide!
A Diamond Rank Space Spirit Pearl? Oh my goodness!
(*ﾟﾛﾟ)!! Holy crap!
And Space Strangle? It sounds like an incredibly powerful attack skill!
"I want it! I want it! Whoever tries to take it from me, I'll destroy them! Let's go! We'll leave right now!"
Liuhua looked hesitant!
(๑◔～◔ิ๑) "But that devil Jiangnan is in Yu Guo... what if..."
Qian Benying's movements froze, her face full of hesitation!
Go or not?
If she didn't go, she wouldn't have any spirit pearls to use. If she did go, what if Jiangnan beat her up?
He could summon meteor showers!
"Kusou! This opportunity is once in a lifetime. If I miss it, I might never find another like it again!"
Looking at the silly old man Miyazaki, Qian Benying's eyes started turning deviously!
