300: Chapter 299: Asking for Help 300: Chapter 299: Asking for Help “Hmm… okay.” He was constantly pressing on Su Ran’s spine, and having to control his strength was tiring. Seeing that Su Ran took the initiative, he agreed. “Listen carefully, elder. The known function f(x) = (1/x) -x. For any x∈(0, k), if f(x)f(k-x)≥[(k/2)-{2/k)] ^2 holds, what is the range of the real number k?” “…” Seeing the old man in the black robe pondering hard, Su Ran felt a little embarrassed… “Ahem, elder, this hand?” Su Ran pointed at his neck, hinting that he could let go now. The old man in the black robe paused, finally slowly retracting his hand. Su Ran at last regained his freedom. “Elder, you shouldn’t blame yourself too much. After all, people sometimes forget things as they age; it’s normal.” Su Ran rubbed his sore spine, shook his head, and finally felt a little better. “Looking at you, I notice you know quite a lot about the God-Demon Continent, excelling in music, chess, literature, and martial arts. Would you mind if I ask a question related to the God-Demon Continent?” “So cunning, Skeleton! No wonder I couldn’t figure out those tricky questions. They were from another world!” The old man in the black robe finally realized, and he was furious. Just thought of that? He was pretty slow. “The thought just crossed my mind too, sorry for the oversight. Please forgive me.” Su Ran courteously replied. He had to be respectful; his life was in the old man’s hands after all! “Elder, you are very knowledgeable about astronomy and geography, but do you know who is considered the greatest merchant among the Undead, known as the Demon of Communication?” “Is that the cunning merchant, Yin Si?” The old man in the black robe was slightly moved; he finally answered correctly. That was really difficult! Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even NPCs referred to that Yin Si as a cunning merchant. It seems his reputation in the God-Demon Continent was not so good, huh?! “So, here comes the question,” Su Ran increased his volume and continued to ask, “Dare to ask, would 100 Underworld Coins be enough if we asked Mr. Yin Si to take action?!” “What kind of nonsense question is this?!” The old man in the black robe was taken aback, not understanding at all. How could this be a question? “I don’t know, would 100 Underworld Coins be enough?!” Su Ran yelled again, scaring the old man in the black robe. “What’s enough or not? Skeleton boy, stop playing these childish tricks. Delaying time won’t help you. Give me the Ancient Three Coins now!” The shaken old man in the black robe cut right to the chase. His aged face maintained its severe expression. Suddenly, he curved his fingers like an eagle’s talons and reached for the skeleton’s skull. He was very impatient now! “Clank!” A gust of cold wind blew past. A flash of white fire suddenly formed and silently entered the old man’s stomach. It exploded immediately, sending the arrogant old fellow flying. The explosion’s shockwave even affected Su Ran, who couldn’t resist and was knocked back by it. The air felt like a knife, cutting into his skull painfully! Just as Su Ran braced for the impact, he found himself stopped. A bony hand held him, resisting the great shock. When Su Ran followed the bone hand with his gaze, he saw a figure in a black robe smirking at him – if it wasn’t Yin Si, who could it be?! “Thank you, Mr. Yin Si!” Su Ran was relieved, his face showing excitement. He looked at the cunning merchant in front of him with gratitude, “Thanks to you, my life was saved!” “It’s been a long time since I’ve taken action. I didn’t control my strength very well, it was a bit too much.” Yin Si nodded at Su Ran, put him on the ground, and looked closely at Su Ran’s bladder. His ghostly eyes were intense, and he chuckled, “100 Underworld Coins are enough for me to make a move once!” Oh no, I forgot about that! There were a lot of valuables in his bladder that shouldn’t be seen! Su Ran hastily materialized the Illusion Demon’s black robe to cover his bladder, fearing that he would expose it again. Meanwhile, a notification from a friend was ringing, but Su Ran ignored it. He tightened his Illusion Demon’s black robe, and continued to say: “Dear Lord Yin Si, a hundred Underworld Coins? The wind is too loud, perhaps you misheard?” Su Ran played innocent and acted the fool, beaming with an idiotic grin. “It doesn’t matter, I don’t mind throwing you back.” A hint of coldness lay in Yin Si’s voice. The laugh made Su Ran shiver, sending a chill down his spine. “Dare to ambush me, you all deserve to die!” Out of anger and embarrassment, the old man in the black robe began changing form, transforming into a rushing black current heading towards Su Ran. “Er, Honorable Lord Yin Si, I meant one hundred and ten Underworld Coins, I think you may have misheard.” Su Ran hurriedly pulled out a bunch of Underworld Coins, handing them to the wily merchant. With a hearty laugh, he said, “No need to count it!” “Not enough.” Yin Si only glanced at it once before refocusing his attention. Su Ran stalled, quickly hiding behind the cunning merchant Yin Si, effectively dodging the black-robed old man’s attack. When he finally stopped to count, damn, there were only 80… “Boom!” Yin Si wasn’t interested in squabbling with it. With a wave of his hand, a bolt of white lightning appeared out of nowhere, striking the black current that the old man had transformed into. “Crack!” Lightning flashed and thunder roared! The dazzling electricity hit the black current hard, exploding with a bang, sending the black-robed old man flying yet again after being electrocuted. “Hey, Honorable Lord Yin Si, thank you very much. This is a small token of my appreciation, please don’t be shy~!” This time Su Ran didn’t dare to be cunning. This cunning merchant’s eyes were too sharp! He directly handed 110 Underworld Coins to Yin Si. Money is the root of all evil, if it’s gone, we can earn it again! But at this moment, he noticed an interesting thing. He, Yin Si, and the old man were all dressed in black robes, dressed alike! He wondered if they were from the same brand? “Little Skeleton Lord, you sure know how to get things done.” Merchant Yin Si collected the bundle of Underworld Coins, smiling creepily, “Actually, ten Underworld Coins would have been enough for my services, it seems like Little Lord is very generous~” God damn your great-aunts and second-uncles! This knife-twisting ripoff makes my heart hurt! Before Su Ran could complain, Yin Si put away his casual expression and said seriously: “But I’m just a businessman. Such crude affairs should not trouble me in the future.” “What about a continual fee of 100 Underworld Coins?” “I’m at your service, anytime!” … The black-robed old man didn’t dare to be brash this time. He had recognized the disparity in their abilities. Enduring the pain from the two consecutive blasts, he stepped forward, cupped his hand in a salute, and respectfully said: “Ghost Officer Han Song pays respect to the elder! May I know the elder’s honored name?” “Hey, so it’s a little lad from the Ghost Clan. Being docile now? Lost your vicious streak? Good, we don’t need to fight and brawl like barbarians. It’s much better to be peaceable! Getting 110 Underworld Coins for free is excellent, truly excellent.” Seeing Yin Si, the cunning merchant acting smug, Su Ran was left speechless, rolling his eyes to the side. Such an old man, yet he still calls someone else a little lad. It really shows Yin Si’s ability to spew nonsense with a straight face. “With the elder’s skills, you must be a well-known figure on the God-Demon Continent. May the elder kindly impart his name so that I may etch it in my heart.” Without his previous arrogant demeanor, the black-robed old man was no different from the previous Su Ran, calling the other “elder” with every other word, almost giving Su Ran goosebumps. Do you Ghost Clan have poor memory or something? Su Ran was speechless, this NPC might have amnesia. I called him Lord Yin Si so loudly earlier, and it was all in vain!
