300,000 gold coins?!
Mas stared at Timothy and his face darkened.
There were only two possibilities for the current situation:
One: The appraiser treated him like a fool because he looked young and gullible.
Two: He raised the price and let Mas talk to him in detail so that he could achieve some sort of unspeakable goal.
But no matter what the reason was, he had held a grudge.
Mas adjusted his mentality and tried to make his expression look better. "Mr. Timothy, you should know the rules of your guild. I provided alchemy recipes and obtained contribution points to increase the alchemy level just to buy this alchemy recipe!
They could sell the alchemy recipes that they obtained many times. It was a profitable business. Just based on the Tier 4 high-level alchemy recipe that I provided to your guild, you could earn millions of gold coins with this recipe.
However, now that I want to buy a Flaming Soul Restoring Elixir that can only be used for freezing cold, you actually want 300,000 gold coins from me?!!
Even if it's a top-grade Flaming Soul Restoring Elixir, it only costs 600,000 gold coins. Now that you're asking for 300,000 gold coins for this, don't you think you are being too much?"
"Hey, Brother Dyson, this is your fault. Although you say that, it doesn't make sense. After you obtain the formula for the Flaming Soul Restoring Elixir, you can refine it and sell it!
Think about it carefully. If you succeed in refining and then sell it, the profits will be insane. As a genius alchemist, you naturally know it very well. "Timothy looked at Mas with a smug look.
Mas did not respond. He looked at Timothy with a grim expression.
He really did not want to hear any more of his nonsense. If the alchemy formula of the Flaming Soul Restoring Elixir, which was not widely used, could be sold at such an expensive price, then those alchemists must have been hit in the head by a carriage to keep earning contribution points to obtain higher-level alchemy recipes.
It could be said that among the Tier 5 alchemical pills, the value of the Flaming Soul Restoring Elixir did not match its status at all. In Mas's opinion, the formula for this elixir could only be sold for 50,000 gold coins at most.
In the end, the other party asked for 300,000. It was obvious that he thought Mas was a fool.
Mas was not a pig, so he would not let him slaughter as he pleased. 'Since you're heartless, then don't blame me for being unjust.'
Having lived two lifetimes, no matter which lifetime it was, Mas was unwilling to suffer in silence. Although he could not understand why the other party was so insistent on tricking him, if he did not take revenge, he would not be able to sleep or eat well.
Mas took a deep breath and exhaled heavily. He suppressed his anger and forced a smile on his face.
"Appraiser Timothy, 300,000 gold coins is indeed a little too much for a new alchemist like me. I can't take out so much at the moment, but I know that you, with your remarkable abilities, must have a solution."
Mas smiled ingratiatingly and looked eagerly at Timothy.
Timothy smiled when he heard that. He thought to himself, "This kid is really smart. He's really quick to understand."
Then, he whispered in Mas's ear, "There's a way. But Brother Dyson, you have to know that if I sell the elixir formula to you at a lower price or directly give it to you, my position as an appraiser will be lost if the Guild Discipline Inspection finds out. If that happens, my family will live in poverty with me. Since I'm taking such a risk for you, shouldn't you give me a small reward?"
Timothy made a bitchy gesture and gave a lewd smile.
Mas finally understood why the other party had been targeting him. It turned out that he was a newcomer and wanted to take bribes.
Since the other party wanted money, he should "satisfy" him.
"Appraiser Timothy, there are too many people here. It's not safe to talk about such things. Why don't you follow me outside and find a place with no one to talk about it in detail?" Mas put on a sensible smile and pulled Timothy out.
"You guys stay here and wait for me. I have something important to discuss with Mr. Timothy," Mas said to Sha You and the rest before leaving the Alchemy Guild with Timothy.
While walking on the street, Mas took advantage of Timothy's lack of attention and found a 'black control core' stone he had carved last time from his alchemy space. He put the stone in his pocket.
"Brother Mas, what are you going to tell me?" Timothy looked at Mas with anticipation. He could not wait to know what precious treasure Mas was showing him.
Mas pretended to look around. He carefully took out the polished "control core" from his pocket and stuffed it into Timothy's hand.
Timothy looked at the black stone that Mas handed over. His expression could be said to be the definition of "Sichuan Opera Face-Changing". The smile that had just appeared on his face instantly changed into an angry expression.
"Mr. Dyson, what's the meaning of this?!" Mas's tone clearly became angry as he said unhappily.
"Appraiser Timothy, don't look down on this good thing in your hand. This is the Red Crystal Gargoyle control core that has been circulating in the imperial family recently. As long as you hold this core, you can control the Red Crystal Gargoyle!" Mas whispered into Timothy's ear.
While Timothy was examining the core, he unknowingly summoned a Red Crystal Gargoyle from the alchemy space.
"Red Crystal Gargoyle?" Timothy looked at Mas in confusion.
Mas smiled without a word and pointed behind him.
When Timothy turned around, he saw the Red Crystal Gargoyle squatting on the ground. His eyes were filled with shock!
"Is this the Red Crystal Gargoyle that is widely circulated among the upper echelons of the royal family, comparable to a Level 5 advanced professional?" Even Timothy, who was extremely good at maintaining his energy, spoke with a trembling voice.
"That's right, Appraiser Timothy. I bought this Red Crystal Gargoyle at a high price from Master Mas. Now, I'll give it to you, Appraiser Timothy. Regarding the elixir formula we talked about earlier… Hehe." Mas had a fawning look on his face, as if he was asking for a beating.
Timothy was still a little worried when he heard that. He looked at the control core in his hand doubtfully and then at the Red Crystal Gargoyle.
"Stand up! Squat down and fly! Shout three times!"
Without a doubt, the Red Crystal Gargoyle followed Timothy's instructions and carried out all the actions. Timothy was overjoyed and revealed a look of greed.
"Brother Dyson, don't worry. You've already given me such a big gift. Not to mention that high-level Level 5 Flaming Soul Restoring Elixir, I can even pack the other Level 5 elixirs for you!"
When Mas heard that, he did not take it seriously. This fellow who was full of vulgarities would let him be arrogant for a while.
"Then, I shall thank you properly." Mas looked at Timothy with a faint smile, his eyes flickering with a dark light.
"Laugh, laugh. Fool, the only time you can laugh is now!" Mas shouted coldly in his heart.
Timothy dared to extort him so blatantly. Did he really think that Mas was easy to bully?
After obtaining the God-grade alchemy system, Mas's mentality had been gradually influenced.
Mas was already furious. The killing machine was already in position. Who was the death knell ringing for?!
When the time was ripe, he could strike!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
