System Glitch! I Accidentally Saved The Zombie Emperor
Chapter 56: A TreasureOn the second floor, a tall man with a sharp gaze was busy training when he heard the shouting coming from downstairs.
After doing a few more push-ups, he stood up and grabbed a small towel placed on a small table nearby. While wiping his sweat, he asked, "Leo, what’s wrong with him?"
Upon hearing his question, a polite, cold mechanical voice came from the door of the training room.
"Answering the Master. The second Young Master just received a delivery a few minutes ago. Maybe he thought it was something you would like."
Listening to Leo’s explanation, the man threw the small towel back onto the table and left the training room.
Seeing that he had left, Leo entered the training room and began to clean up.
Walking down the stairs, the man saw his younger brother sniffing something while laughing like a mentally ill patient.
He frowned slightly and asked, "A Jing, what are you doing?"
Hearing his question, the young man stopped giggling and looked up. Seeing his elder brother, he hurriedly waved at him and said, "Elder Brother! Hurry up! I just found a treasure!"
Looking at his younger brother’s excited expression, which made him look as though he had just found the greatest treasure in the universe, the man went downstairs and walked toward the couch.
Before he could take a seat, his younger brother suddenly shoved something in front of his face.
Just as he opened his lips to scold his younger brother, he paused when he saw the thing in front of him.
Seeing that his elder brother was stunned at the sight of the giant-sized carrot, the young man triumphantly asked, "Elder Brother, this is an ancient vegetable recorded in the ancient texts, right?"
Coming back to his senses, the man’s expression turned serious. Looking at his younger brother, he sternly asked, "Bai Jing, where did you get this thing?"
Startled by his elder brother’s stern voice, Bai Jing became nervous. Pointing at the metal box placed on top of the low table, he replied, "I, I bought it from the Interstellar Market."
Listening to Bai Jing’s answer, the man picked up the metal box from the low table and inspected it carefully.
A long moment passed before he said, "There is no record of the sender’s information here."
Turning to Bai Jing, he asked, "Do you know the seller’s name?"
Bai Jing hugged the giant carrot as he shook his head. "I don’t know the seller’s name. When I bought the carrot, I just wanted to give it a try. I even thought the seller was another fraudster after paying for it."
The man thought for a moment, then asked further, "What about the store’s name? Do you remember it?"
Bai Jing tried to remember the name, but he hadn’t even looked at the store’s name when he browsed the Interstellar Market.
Scratching his head guiltily, he said in a low voice, "Uh... I didn’t see the store’s name."
Hearing this, the man let out a disappointed sigh. Staring at the high ceiling, he thought, ’No wonder he always gets scammed by strangers. He really needs to learn to be more vigilant and careful when doing things.’
Although he was worried that his younger brother’s simple mind would cause him to be taken advantage of in the future, the man didn’t say anything about it.
Pointing at Bai Jing’s watch, he said, "Check your optical watch. See if you can find the seller’s information."
Reminded by his elder brother, Bai Jing realized that he could check his purchase history. Carefully putting the giant carrot back into the metal box, he quickly opened his optical watch.
Opening the purchase history list, he clicked on the latest purchase and opened it. However, the second he clicked on the record, all that was recorded there was the item’s name and purchase time.
Scratching his head in confusion, he muttered, "This is not right..."
Noticing that something was wrong from Bai Jing’s expression, the man asked, "What’s wrong?"
Showing the blue screen projected from his optical watch to his elder brother, Bai Jing said, "Elder Brother, look at this. There are only records of the item’s name and purchase time."
The man checked the record file, and his brows creased so deeply that they could have squished a mosquito to death.
After a brief moment of thought, he looked at Bai Jing and ordered, "Keep this matter a secret. Also—"
Pointing to the metal box, he added, "Give that thing to me. I’m going to send it to the military laboratory to have it tested."
Although Bai Jing was simple-minded, he knew that they shouldn’t eat something unknown. Nodding at his elder brother, he obediently said, "Mhm, just take it."
Getting his permission, the man closed the metal box. Picking it up, he said, "Keep an eye on that store. If there is something on sale again, make sure to buy all of them."
"Alright, Elder Brother."
Just when he was about to take a step, the man paused in his tracks and turned around. Glancing at the metal box, he thought, ’If this really is the ancient vegetable, then it would be very expensive.’
Looking away from the metal box in his arms, he asked, "A Jing, what is the price of this thing?"
Hearing the question, Bai Jing raised his eyes from his optical watch’s screen and casually replied, "Ten Interstellar Coins."
"What?!" The man was shocked when he heard the price.
Seeing his elder brother’s disbelief expression, Bai Jing quickly added, "It’s true! I really bought that thing for only ten Interstellar Coins."
Looking down at the metal box, the man couldn’t help but think, ’Does the seller have water in his brain? Ten Interstellar Coins couldn’t even buy one low-quality nutrient solution, and he just sold a fresh vegetable at this low price?’
Filled with shock and disbelief, the man quickly composed himself and said, "Remember, buy as much as you can when the seller sells something again. I will transfer more money to your account later."
When Bai Jing heard this, he grinned and excitedly replied, "Yes, Sir! I will keep an eye on the Interstellar Market. The second the seller appears, I will buy all the products!"
Receiving his promise, the man nodded in satisfaction, then quickly went upstairs.
Not knowing that her giant carrot had shocked two men in a faraway universe, Liu Yun was in the middle of a dilemma.
