Chapter 43: Chapter 41: A Box of Netherworld Currency
"Alright." Li Bingyan arranged for someone to retrieve the body of the man wearing a hat inside, then began to investigate the man’s identity.
As for others, those who should leave did so.
People gathered around Minghai Building started to disperse.
Mo Lin didn’t stay either; he drove away.
The matters at Minghai Building were something Li Bingyan could handle on her own.
Mo Lin drove not directly home but went to the Four-sided Courtyard again.
Mo Lin went to the Four-sided Courtyard to buy some materials.
He planned to forge a Ghost Artifact that could hold a ghost.
Ordinary Ghost Artifacts can be made with Netherworld Currency, but Ghost Artifacts that can hold ghosts are special and require an appropriate vessel.
The Four-sided Courtyard was crowded, with people as dense as a bustling market.
Mo Lin wandered around the materials section for a long time without finding anything he liked.
"Mr. Mo, hello." A man in a black suit approached Mo Lin and greeted him.
"My young master wants to meet you."
"Who is your young master?" Mo Lin was curious about the man’s identity.
"This Four-sided Courtyard is under my young master’s enterprise." The man answered slowly.
Mo Lin was intrigued by the person wanting to meet him.
Anyone capable of handling such a large transaction venue must have some skills.
He was very curious about what the other party wanted from him.
Mo Lin followed the man in uniform to the deepest part of the Four-sided Courtyard, where there was a staircase.
They climbed the stairs to a private box.
Pushing open the door of the box.
A young man about the same age as Mo Lin sat in a chair inside, brewing a pot of tea.
"Brother... have a seat here."
The man greeted Mo Lin warmly, "My name is Fu Wansan."
"Why did you call me here?"
"I wanted to do business with you."
Fu Wansan poured a cup of tea for Mo Lin and placed it in front of him, speaking leisurely.
"What kind of business?"
"You should still have Ghost Artifacts, right? The Top-Grade Ghost Artifacts."
A while ago, the matter of Mo Lin selling Top-Grade Ghost Artifacts at the Four-sided Courtyard attracted a lot of attention.
Wan Fusan was also aware of this.
He called Mo Lin over to discuss doing business with Ghost Artifacts.
"Go on."
Ghost Artifacts, those things, Mo Lin could make many if he wanted.
It’s just that selling Ghost Artifacts is a bit troublesome.
Last time, Mo Lin made four Ghost Artifacts, and it took him many days to sell them all.
"I’m willing to buy your Ghost Artifacts at a high price," Wan Fusan said slowly to Mo Lin.
This topic greatly interested Mo Lin.
After all, he was currently in dire need of Netherworld Currency.
Fu Wansan took out a prepared black box from under the table, lifted it, and placed it in front of Mo Lin.
"This is my deposit for you."
Mo Lin opened the black box.
Inside, it was full of Netherworld Currency.
So much Netherworld Currency filled the black box.
Oh no... this is a tempting feeling.
Mo Lin couldn’t even guess how much Netherworld Currency was in there for a moment.
Wow...
This guy in front really has money.
For a top-tier wealthy family, twenty thousand Netherworld Coins are considered a huge sum.
Yet Fu Wansan easily handed over a box of Netherworld Currency.
This was quite surprising.
It’s important to know that this Netherworld Currency isn’t just printed paper.
Printed Netherworld Currency is just paper and has no effect.
Only Netherworld Currency refined by ghosts is valuable.
That Wan Fusan could get so much Netherworld Currency was quite difficult.
"There are two hundred thousand Netherworld Coins here," Wan Fusan slowly said to Mo Lin.
Two hundred thousand Netherworld Coins... this amount was also a huge sum for Mo Lin.
"How much are you willing to pay to buy my Ghost Artifacts?" Mo Lin asked Fu Wansan.
"No... I don’t want to buy your Ghost Artifacts; I want to help you sell them. Every time I help you sell a Ghost Artifact, I’ll take thirty percent of the profit," Fu Wansan said slowly.
Thirty percent profit, for a Ghost Artifact worth thirty thousand Netherworld Coins, six thousand Netherworld Coins would be paid to Fu.
Mo Lin would only receive twenty-four thousand Netherworld Coins.
Mo Lin was still hesitating...
Seeing Mo Lin’s hesitation, Fu Wansan spoke again: "How about this... fifteen percent profit, I’ll take fifteen percent profit, no lower."
"The cost of venue, maintenance, manpower, and promotion, all these things require money. Fifteen percent profit is my bottom line."
Fu Wansan selling Ghost Artifacts cannot possibly earn nothing, nor could he sell Netherworld Currency for Mo Lin for free.
He also needed to make money. He can’t work for free, can he?
"Alright." Mo Lin thought for a moment and agreed.
This matter had no drawbacks for Mo Lin.
Only benefits.
Fu Wansan’s advance payment of two hundred thousand Netherworld Coins as a deposit was enough to prove his willingness to cooperate with Mo Lin.
"The Ghost Artifacts, I’ll bring them to you in a few days," Mo Lin said slowly to Fu Wansan.
"It’s alright, I’m not in a hurry." Fu Wansan was not worried about Mo Lin running away.
He dared to give Mo Lin two hundred thousand Netherworld Coins as a deposit, so he wasn’t afraid of Mo Lin running away.
"Brother Mo, what do you want to buy at the Four-sided Courtyard?" Fu Wansan asked Mo Lin.
"Materials... some special materials." Mo Lin didn’t say what he needed the materials for.
"Do you see any materials you like at the Four-sided Courtyard?" Fu Wansan asked Mo Lin.
Mo Lin shook his head: "No..."
Mo Lin had wandered around the Four-sided Courtyard for a long time and didn’t find anything he liked.
"I’m someone who likes to collect some special things; I wonder if there’s anything here you might like."
Fu Wansan got up and led Mo Lin to a hidden room inside the box.
The room was small, only about ten square meters.
Various items hung on the walls all around.
Some were unknown bones, or some broken bronze vessels and the like.
All were strange and peculiar items.
"Brother Mo, if you don’t despise it, you can pick anything you like here."
Fu Wansan liked collecting these strange and peculiar items, and everything here he bought with money.
Mo Lin walked into the hidden room, and his eyes were immediately drawn to a transparent red ring at the front.
This ring had an antique feel, with a red gemstone embedded on top.
The gemstone looked like jade, but it didn’t quite seem like pure jade.
The exact material, Mo Lin couldn’t discern.
He simply liked the ring.
"Brother Mo, if you like this ring, I can give it to you." Fu Wansan said to Mo Lin proactively.
"What kind of gemstone is this?" The gemstone looked ordinary, but it was tainted with a sense of death.
This was the main reason Mo Lin immediately took a liking to the ring.
This ring was perfect to use as a medium for crafting a Ghost Artifact.
"I don’t know the exact material, but I got this from the Cannibal Race in Europe."
Actually, Fu Wansan didn’t value this ring very much.
The main reason was its origin from the Cannibal Race, so he spent money to buy it as a collectible.
"If you like it, I can give it to you for free." Fu Wansan was indeed a businessman.
He was masterful in dealing with people.
First, he gave Mo Lin two hundred thousand Netherworld Coins as a deposit, and now he was proactively offering a gift.
He kept trying to curry favor.
Receiving something for free always felt a bit awkward.
But Mo Lin really needed this ring, so he said to Fu Wansan slowly: "I’ll give you a Ghost Artifact in exchange for this ring."
Fu Wansan was startled; this ring wasn’t worth exchanging for a Ghost Artifact.
