Chapter 70 Bargaining

Tao Xin's words reminded Su Yu of another place:

Antique Street!

Before crossing, Su Yu had also been to the Antique Street out of curiosity. The stall owners there were also quite "casual" in their prices. They dared to quote thousands or even tens of thousands for a few dollars worth of things. It was quite similar to the current Lingwu Street.

"I want this Death Mantis!" Su Yu said to Tao Xin after reacting.

"Mr. Su, there is something I need to make clear in advance." Tao Xin said.

"What is it? Tell me."

"Under normal circumstances, the price of a second-level third-level monster should be 150,000." Tao Xin said: "The reason why I only sell this Death Mantis for 60,000 is, first, because we are old friends, and second, because this monster is a little injured."

"A little injured? How serious?" Su Yu asked.

Su Yu is not stupid. He automatically ignored the first reason Tao Xin said. The reason why Tao Xin reduced the price of this Death Mantis should be the second reason.

The price was reduced so much at once, I am afraid that this Death Mantis was seriously injured.

"Well, this mantis is missing a forelimb, a hind leg, an eye is blind, and..."

"Wait!" Su Yu interrupted hurriedly: "This mantis is so miserable, it must be dead, right?"

"No, absolutely not!" Tao Xin denied hurriedly, and then said with some lack of confidence: "At least it is not dead yet, the meat is absolutely fresh."

Obviously, Tao Xin still believes that Su Yu bought the monster for food.

The taste of the meat of living monsters and dead monsters is very different. In addition, once a monster dies, the blood and qi in the body will lose their activity. After eating its meat, the blood and qi that can be obtained are extremely limited. Therefore, the price of living monsters is relatively expensive, while that of dead monsters is much cheaper.

Su Yu was speechless after hearing what Tao Xin said.

Obviously, this mantis should still be hanging on to its breath and may die at any time. In addition, the mantis itself is thin and has little meat. People who want to eat monsters to increase their blood and qi usually don't choose mantises, let alone a mantis that is about to die.

"Mr. Su, if you want to buy it, the price can be cheaper." Seeing that Su Yu did not respond after listening, Tao Xin was a little anxious.

When he bought this mantis, it was already as miserable as it is now, but at that time, this death mantis was very energetic, so Tao Xin did not take it seriously. In addition, the other party's asking price was not high, so Tao Xin simply accepted it.

You know, many monster dealers can only sell first-level monsters. Second-level monsters cannot be purchased without some skills. For a newcomer like Tao Xin, being able to purchase a second-level monster is still very tempting.

Who knows, not long after he bought the mantis, the mantis will soon die. It should have been a last gasp before, but unfortunately, he had limited eyesight and could not see it. If he hadn't tried to keep the mantis hanging for the past few days, I'm afraid the mantis would have died.

Now, Su Yu wants to buy a high-level monster, so Tao Xin recommended this mantis to Su Yu.

For him, it's good to be able to sell it. If it's really stuck in his hands, he will lose a lot.

"How much cheaper can it be?" Su Yu asked.

"Five thousand cheaper." Tao Xin said: "If you are sincere, I will sell it to you for 55,000."

"Fifty thousand." Su Yu said: "I guess your mantis won't last long. Once it dies, its blood and qi will be reduced a lot. What's more, the mantis doesn't have much meat on its body. It is missing arms and legs, so the meat is even less."

Tao Xin pondered for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, fifty thousand!"

To be honest, Tao Xin really didn't make a penny selling it to Su Yu for fifty thousand, but he had to sell it. This mantis is almost dead, and it's hard to say when it will die. What's more, he has to spend money to keep the mantis alive every day, and selling it early can also reduce losses.

Hearing Tao Xin's agreement, Su Yu wondered if he had offered too high a price. If it was lower, Tao Xin would accept it.

However, Su Yu did not change his mind. Since he had already made the offer, there was no need to change it. He just sold Tao Xin for the convenience of the next transaction.

"Mr. Su, where are you now? I'll send the mantis to you?" Tao Xin said.

"So urgent?" Su Yu was a little surprised.

It was already late at night, and Tao Xin still had to deliver the goods to the door. This was a bit too urgent.

"I'm just afraid of accidents." Tao Xin said a little embarrassed.

The reason why he was so anxious was that Tao Xin was worried that the death mantis would not survive until tomorrow morning...

Su Yu was a little speechless and said, "Okay, I'll give you an address and you can send it over."

"Okay!" Tao Xin agreed.

About twenty minutes later, Tao Xin personally escorted the mantis over.

"Mr. Su, look, it's still breathing." Tao Xin pointed to the mantis in the cage and said to Su Yu.

"It is breathing, but it's obviously not breathing much." Su Yu said unhappily.

The Death Mantis is a Level 2, Level 3, so it is naturally quite domineering. However, the Death Mantis in front of him is not only missing arms and legs, but also has many wounds on its body. Its left eye is empty and an eyeball is missing. It looks quite miserable. It is obviously breathing out more than breathing in.

Tao Xin was embarrassed by what Su Yu said, and quickly changed the subject: "I'll help you take it in."

"No, I can do it myself." Su Yu said.

"Do you want me to help you kill it?" Tao Xin said: "It shouldn't last long. Once it dies naturally, its qi and blood will quickly lose their activity. If you eat it at that time, the effect will be much worse."

"I know." Su Yu replied: "I can handle it myself, so I won't bother Boss Tao."

"That's okay." Tao Xin didn't insist, "Then I'll leave first."

Tao Xin wished he could leave as soon as possible. If he died before the Death Mantis could leave, the situation would be embarrassing.

"Wait." Su Yu stopped Tao Xin.

"Mr. Su, is there anything else?"

"Boss Tao, please help me keep an eye on it. If I can still buy the Death God Mantis, I will buy it again." Su Yu said to Tao Xin.

Now that he has decided to identify the Death Mantis as his second contracted creature, Su Yu will naturally not be satisfied with signing just one. Now, he can sign up to 110 Death Mantises.

"More?" Tao Xin was a little surprised.

To be honest, the Death God Mantis is not a very good edible monster. Although the meat of this guy is not as sour as the Canglan Rat, it is too thin and does not have much meat in its body. Moreover, the meat quality is relatively poor and the taste is not as good. Well, therefore, the market for Death Mantis is not very good.

Tao Xin only learned about these recently. If he had known about it before, he would not have bought this death mantis even if he was killed.

Now seeing that Su Yu actually wanted to buy the Death Mantis, Tao Xin was a little surprised.
