Chapter 13001
Mo Beibei remained silent and slowly swallowed the piece of meat in her mouth.
Gan Niannian looked at her with a nervous expression.
She had done everything she could for this banquet, fearing that the other party might not be satisfied.
She doesn't mind suffering a little grievance, but if it ruins Lin Yi's plans, she'll probably feel guilty for a whole year.
Mo Beibei commented, "It's alright."
Gan Niannian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Under her expectant gaze, Mo Beibei picked up another piece of vegetarian food with her chopsticks, chewed it twice, and then paused in mid-air.
When Gan Niannian saw her action, her heart immediately jumped again.
Mo Beibei put her chopsticks down on the table and said in a reluctant tone, "The taste is just so-so. Tianjun is just a small place after all. If the ingredients aren't good, even if your cooking skills are good, you can't make up for it."
Gan Niannian felt somewhat frustrated after hearing this, and couldn't help but secretly glance at Lin Yi, her eyes full of guilt.
Ultimately, she had no real understanding of her own culinary skills.
Even though the people from Tianjun flattered her repeatedly, she only thought it was because of Lin Yi that everyone was praising her.
Given her background as the eldest daughter of the Gan family, she had been well aware of such matters since childhood.
Now that a distinguished guest of high caliber has finally arrived, his evaluation is bound to be more objective than that of the people from Tianjun. Gan Niannian had long been mentally prepared for this.
Even so, I can't help but feel a little discouraged.
Lin Yi gently squeezed her hand and gave her a reassuring look.
Feeling the warmth from Lin Yi's palm, Gan Niannian immediately relaxed and secretly stuck out her tongue at him.
She was still frustrated, but as long as Lin Yi didn't blame her, she was happy.
Lin Yi looked at Mo Beibei and said, "I believe that Junior Sister's cooking skills are presentable no matter where you go."
"As for the ingredients, we really can't find any top-quality ingredients in our small town of Tianjun, so we can only ask Miss Mo to make do."
Mo Beibei raised her eyelids, subconsciously wanting to say a few more disparaging remarks.
Manager Wu quickly interjected, "It's already quite good, Young Master Lin, you're too modest."
"I've eaten at all sorts of banquets, big and small, in the Divine Realm Open Area, but this is the first time I've had such a flavorful meal."
"Gan Niannian truly lives up to her reputation as the God of Food in Tianjun. After tasting her today, I can confirm that her reputation is well-deserved."
Thanks to his best efforts to salvage the situation, it wasn't so embarrassing after all.
Mo Beibei didn't offer any praise, but her eating habits couldn't lie.
During the meal, she was the one who ate the most.
Lin Yi chuckled to himself as he watched.
He might deny it verbally, but his actions betray him.
However, he didn't point it out directly, since he was still counting on them to buy his batch of intermediate-level divine equipment.
If it weren't for the connection with Zhao Gongming, the Mo Clan Chamber of Commerce, given its level, wouldn't have bothered sending someone to Tianjun.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lin Yi then arranged for them to have tea.
Shopkeeper Wu had just taken a sip when his eyes lit up: "Excellent tea! Excellent tea! This quality is rare even in the open areas of the Divine Realm. Normally, it can only be bought in the core areas of the Divine Realm. What connections did Young Master Lin use?"
Lin Yi smiled slightly: "I got some tea from Old Zhao when I had tea with him before."
Upon hearing this, Manager Wu immediately became respectful.
He naturally knew who Old Zhao was, as Lin Yi had mentioned.
Zhao Gongming.
That person is a key figure in the core decision-making body of the God of Wealth Academy.
Despite the fact that the Mo Clan Chamber of Commerce has a large business empire and can be considered a top-tier chamber of commerce even in the open area of the Divine Realm, it still essentially depends on others.
The Mo Clan Chamber of Commerce owes its current success to the various forms of support from Zhao Gongming.
Mo Beibei, standing to the side, secretly curled her lip.
What a pretentious charlatan!
Even my father has difficulty getting a meeting with Elder Zhao. You, a country bumpkin from Tianjun, do you think Elder Zhao would personally deliver top-grade spiritual tea to you?
Are you trying to fool me like I'm a three-year-old?
It's nothing more than a fox borrowing the tiger's power, trying to put pressure on me by using Elder Zhao's banner.
Who can't see through this little trick?
Mo Beibei put down her teacup, leaned back, stretched, and said, "Let's get down to business. How many divine equipment does Young Master Lin want to sell?"
Lin Yi replied, "One thousand one hundred pieces."
He planned to keep the remaining hundred items to arm his core team.
Mo Beibei frowned: "One thousand one hundred pieces of basic divine equipment? I thought it was a huge deal, but I have to make a trip here myself for just this little bit?"
She gave Manager Wu a disapproving look.
Lin Yi leisurely corrected, "It's not basic divine equipment, it's 1,100 pieces of intermediate divine equipment."
Mo Beibei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously sat up straight: "You have 1,100 pieces of intermediate-level divine equipment here? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Lin Yi nodded: "Absolutely true. I can tell the difference between basic and intermediate divine equipment."
Mo Beibei perked up: "Then we can have a good chat."
One thousand one hundred pieces of intermediate-level divine equipment is definitely not a small deal, even for her Mo Clan Merchant Guild.
Moreover, this is her first time doing business, and it is also a core assessment of her by the family, the result of which will directly affect her future status in the Mo family.
She was determined to inherit the Mo Family Business Association, so she naturally wanted to do her best in this crucial assessment.
His first order was a massive purchase of 1,100 mid-level divine equipment. Just this one item alone puts him ahead of all the other members of the Mo family of the same generation!
Manager Wu coughed lightly from the side.
Mo Beibei immediately realized what was going on, and put on an air of nonchalance again, casually asking, "Young Master Lin, how do you plan to make the deal?"
Lin Yi asked directly, "I would like to exchange for high-level divine equipment. I wonder how many pieces your esteemed merchant guild can provide for me?"
Mo Beibei frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally held up three fingers: "Thirty pieces, I can give you thirty pieces of high-level divine equipment."
Lin Yi frowned: "According to the market price in the Divine Realm Open Zone, it can be exchanged for at least fifty pieces of high-level divine equipment. Miss Mo asked for thirty pieces right off the bat. Isn't that a bit too harsh?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Mo Beibei's eyes.
This person actually knows the market prices?
In her mind, Lin Yi, a local bigwig in Tianjun, probably hadn't even been to the open area of the Divine Realm. He was a complete country bumpkin who had never seen the world. How could he possibly know the current situation?
Despite his surprise, Mo Beibei remained dismissive, chuckling as he crossed his legs and said, "It seems that Young Master Lin has indeed inquired about some things, but he only knows one aspect and not the other."
Lin Yi looked at her quietly: "I'd like to hear the details."
Mo Beibei took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Divine equipment always has a price; the key is its quality and origin."
"It's not that all mid-level divine equipment is the same price. There are huge differences between mid-level divine equipment."
"Take quality as an example. The most important factor in judging the quality of a divine piece of equipment is the skill of the synthesizer." (End of Chapter)
