# Chapter 7: Hmm, Is That So
Su Xiao was initially puzzled, then realized who was challenging him.
He glanced at the opponent's ranking—much higher than his own.
"Accept challenge."
The arena was still the same as before. His opponent was still that robot, but this time there were no jeers from the audience.
"I don't believe I can't beat you."
The Young Miss's indignant voice came through.
Su Xiao's muscles tensed slightly as Dragon-Slaying Flash appeared in his hand.
Whoosh~.
He used full speed this time, closing the distance to the robot in just a few steps.
The Dragon-Slaying Flash flipped in his hand, changing from a forward grip to a reverse grip. A cold gleam flickered at the blade's tip.
Crack.
The bulletproof glass of the cockpit was pierced directly, and the robot gradually disappeared.
Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded.
"The... the Young Miss got one-shot?"
"It looks like the Young Miss ran into a tough one."
"This is the fastest arena battle I've ever seen."
Su Xiao returned to the rest chamber. He felt somewhat fatigued and decided not to continue today.
[Personal Battle Ended: Victory, Twenty Consecutive Wins!]
[Hunter Arena Ranking Increased: From 6701 to 2600 (First Rank).]
[Received a message from this match's opponent. View? Yes/No.]
After twenty consecutive wins, Su Xiao's ranking had skyrocketed, directly breaking into the top three thousand.
There was another message this time, and Su Xiao casually opened it.
'Wuwuwu~, my ranking dropped out of the top five thousand. You must be an angel sister sent to punish me. I beg to become your disciple.'
Su Xiao chuckled lightly and didn't reply. It seemed that she only appeared spoiled on the surface but was actually far from stupid.
Fighting in the arena consumed stamina, and he was now slightly tired.
After leaving the arena, Su Xiao headed straight to the Trade Market. He still had some equipment to sell.
Finding his previous stall in the Trade Market, it happened to be unoccupied. After paying 10 Paradise Coins, he obtained three hours of stall usage rights.
Sitting behind the stall, Su Xiao began organizing the equipment he wanted to sell and setting prices.
Leg Bone of Love (Green Weapon) — Priced at 4000 Paradise Coins.
Iron Bone Knuckle Gloves (Green Weapon) — Priced at 4600 Paradise Coins.
Beloved of the Deceased Wife (White Accessory) — Priced at 2500 Paradise Coins.
After a moment's hesitation, Su Xiao took down Knight King (Honor) 1/8 and priced it at 100,000 Paradise Coins.
That's right, one hundred thousand. Although its attributes weren't impressive, it was a set item.
The single-piece attributes of a set meant that those who wanted it couldn't afford it, and those who could afford it didn't want it. Only one type of person would have purchase intent, and Su Xiao was waiting for that kind of person—taking a gamble.
Of course, the high price of one hundred thousand was impossible, but forty or fifty thousand Paradise Coins could still be sold.
If sold based on single-piece attributes alone, Knight King (Honor) would be worth at most 3000 Paradise Coins, and that was only because it was a Blue equipment.
After setting the prices, he named the stall "Premium Stall." Su Xiao sat comfortably behind the stall, took out the tablet computer Xia had given him, and started playing puzzle games.
Except for Knight King (Honor), the prices of the other equipment were quite reasonable.
Occasionally, contractors would come to bargain, and Su Xiao casually dealt with them.
Not long after, [Beloved of the Deceased Wife] and [Leg Bone of Love] were sold, bringing in 6500 Paradise Coins.
Su Xiao wasn't in a hurry, so he continued "fishing" behind the stall. When the stall time expired, he renewed for another three hours.
He hadn't been this relaxed in a long time, and his constantly tense nerves gradually loosened.
"Big Sister, I found equipment that increases health recovery speed, but it's a set item—very troublesome."
A crisp voice came through. Su Xiao looked up and was startled.
Knight King Saber?
The newcomer's attire and appearance were very similar to the King of Knights with the ahoge—blonde hair, blue eyes—though there were slight differences in facial features, and she lacked that certain aura of the King of Knights.
Su Xiao's eyes lit up. He might have caught a fish. Total time spent: 7 hours.
"How much is it?"
A mature lady walked over gracefully, but her brow furrowed upon seeing the price of Knight King (Honor).
"Treating everything like a treasure. Let's go."
The mature lady turned to leave.
"Don't go, Big Sister. It's obvious they don't know the price. Let me talk to them."
The girl who resembled the King of Knights cleared her throat lightly.
"Hello, can this equipment be cheaper? Even if it's a set, it's not as valuable as you think."
The girl's voice was gentle, her face full of smiles.
"Hmm, is that so."
Su Xiao paused his puzzle game, his mind racing.
This girl's acting was somewhat clumsy, while the mature lady's acting was much better.
"How about 5000 Paradise Coins? Even though it's Blue equipment, we only need its health recovery acceleration attribute."
The girl began her performance.
"Hmm, is that so."
Su Xiao showed some impatience, with an expression that said "buy it or don't, just don't bother me while I'm playing my game."
"How about it? 5000 Paradise Coins isn't a small amount, right?"
"Hmm, is that so."
Three identical responses made the girl unable to maintain her smile.
"Hey... can you say something other than 'hmm, is that so'?"
"Of course not."
This time it was four words. The girl was furious inside but still kept a smile on her face.
Su Xiao had already determined that this girl definitely had other parts of the Knight King set—definitely!
The reason he showed this attitude was a test—to see how much she desired this equipment.
If she only wanted the single attribute of this piece, she would never tolerate his current attitude.
Su Xiao's negotiation with the girl caught the mature lady's attention. The mature lady's heart sank, knowing they might get gouged today, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Hello, friend. I'm Molly from the Red Spider Lily Adventure Group, responsible for logistics and supplies in Red Spider Lily."
Hearing the mature lady's introduction, Su Xiao was surprised but kept a straight face.
She probably didn't know who he was. It seemed Red Spider Lily hadn't obtained items like photos of him.
Only the contractors of Red Spider Lily knew his appearance. This was likely a Worker from Red Spider Lily.
There were so many contractors in Reincarnation Paradise, yet he had encountered members of Red Spider Lily three times now. Truly, coincidence makes a story.
"A contractor from Red Spider Lily?"
"No, I'm a Worker. How could logistics and supplies be handled by a contractor?"
A hint of smile appeared in Molly's eyes. She had been worried earlier that the other party hadn't heard of the Red Spider Lily Adventure Group. Now things would be much easier.
"And then?"
Su Xiao looked at Molly.
"Let's be straightforward. We need this set item. This is a member of the Divine Emperor Adventure Group, a good friend of mine."
Molly successively mentioned the names of adventure groups, trying to use their reputation to drive down the price. Ordinary contractors generally wouldn't offend adventure groups, making bargaining easier.
"Final price..."
Su Xiao looked at the two. Expectation showed in their eyes.
"Fifty thousand Paradise Coins! Not a single coin less. I'll continue setting up the stall for half an hour. If you can find the same set item elsewhere, go buy it from another stall."
Su Xiao stopped talking. His psychological expected price was originally around forty thousand, but their identities made him unwilling to lower it.
"Taking advantage of the situation like this... isn't good, is it?"
Molly's voice was somewhat cold, and the girl beside her didn't look too happy either.
"Am I forcing you to buy?"
Su Xiao ignored Molly's somewhat threatening tone.
At this moment, Molly was deeply regretful. She hadn't been careful enough, and the girl had asked the price first. If it had been her, she would have had many ways to deceive the man before her.
"At most thirty thousand Paradise Coins. Any more and we can't accept it."
Su Xiao continued playing his puzzle game. Now it was a battle of patience. For an eight-piece set, the chance of a single piece appearing was very, very small.
And so, the two sides remained deadlocked for ten minutes.
"Forty thousand. That's the highest price I can offer. Otherwise, forget it."
The girl spoke. She was the real buyer.
Su Xiao began packing up his stall.
"Wait."
Molly's chest heaved violently. She whispered something in the girl's ear.
"Fifty thousand it is. You win this time."
The girl sent a trade request. Su Xiao accepted. After handing over Knight King (Honor), fifty thousand Paradise Coins arrived in his account.
This was windfall profit. He hadn't even expected this item to sell.
"Red Spider Lily and Divine Emperor will remember today's matter."
Molly the mature lady was very dissatisfied with Su Xiao's profiteering behavior. She stared coldly at Su Xiao, as if trying to memorize his appearance.
Just as Molly and the girl turned to leave, Su Xiao spoke.
"Go back and tell your group leader Leng Yue that the next time we meet in a derivative world will be her death day. She escaped in the Giant world, but she won't next time."
Molly, with her back to Su Xiao, suddenly stiffened. A chill rose from the soles of her feet. She seemed to know who Su Xiao was.
"You... you're that Blade Guy, Bai Ye."
Molly turned her head stiffly to look at Su Xiao. The coldness and anger on her face had long disappeared.
