"That expensive? You might as well go rob people!"
"Are you fucking crazy? I already thought one hundred thousand per seat was expensive before, and now you actually dare to raise the price, and by one hundred thousand each time? What the fuck is wrong with you?"
"Everyone, don't listen to him. We need to unite and boycott this unscrupulous merchant. Don't let him make money!"
There were idiots, and naturally there were smart people too.
While a group of idiots was still desperately trying to unite, hoping to make Ethan lower his price through insults and complaints, some smart people quickly reacted and said, "Two hundred thousand!"
"Very good! Someone has bid two hundred thousand."
Ethan immediately smiled and raised the orange in his hand, saying, "Anyone else bidding? If not, this spot belongs to this beauty!"
The one who had made the bid at this moment was a snake-person, and she looked extremely alluring.
If you ignored the fact that her lower body was a long snake tail, then she was indeed a beauty without a doubt. Of course, this beautiful snake also couldn't open her mouth too much, because the tongue inside her mouth was like a snake's tongue, forked at the tip, making her look extremely strange.
The beautiful snake seemed to really like Ethan calling her a beauty.
She was currently grinning at Ethan, while her forked tongue lightly circled around her red lips.
"Anyone else bidding! Second call!"
Seeing that nobody was bidding, Ethan immediately shouted again.
He could naturally tell that most of the people on the shore were still in observation mode, but that didn't stop Ethan from continuing through the process.
This was called imbuing a sense of the rules. Next time, they would naturally know Ethan's rules.
And those who wanted to come up would naturally lunderstand the rules too.
"If nobody is bidding, then third call!"
Ethan directly tossed the orange in his hand into the beautiful snake's hand and said, "Congratulations, beauty, on getting one of the last three spots. You'll have a place among the top ten. Congratulations, congratulations."
"Thank you!"
The beautiful snake's hand was extremely soft. The instant she held Ethan's hand, Ethan even felt that it would be great if he could spend a night with this beautiful snake. With such a soft body, he really wondered how enjoyable it would be.
"Be careful."
At the instant Ethan fell into his fantasy, the Eye of Nightmare's voice immediately sounded in Ethan's mind, ["This kind of snake-person has the ability to charm people. Don't fall for it, and remember to collect the money."]
'Damn! I almost fell for it!'
Ethan cursed inwardly.
Only then did he suddenly snap out of his dazed state. He immediately glared at the beautiful snake and said, "Don't try anything funny, or get lost."
"Hm?"
Seeing that Ethan had actually awakened from her charm, the beautiful snake wasn't angry at all. Instead, she smiled and pressed a red-lip print onto her hand, then made a flying-kiss gesture and said, "Little brother, you're really interesting. You can actually wake up from my charm. This willpower of yours really makes people like you."
"Like you, my ass," Ethan roughly pulled the beautiful snake onto the raft and said, "Pay up! Or get lost!"
"Alright, little brother, don't be angry!"
As the beautiful snake spoke, she reached into the place where her neckline was opened very wide, then pulled out two spatial rings and said, "There are two thousand spirit stones inside, equivalent to two hundred thousand Dragon Coins. They can't be opened here, but don't worry, little brother, I definitely won't cheat you."
"Really?"
Ethan was skeptical. He directly placed the spatial rings in front of the Eye of Nightmare, then asked it with his mind, 'Can you tell how many Dragon Coins are inside?'
The Eye of Nightmare rolled its eyes at Ethan and said, 'Do you think I'm an immortal? How would I be able to tell?'
Ethan: 'Then what do we do? How do I know whether this woman is lying to me?'
The Eye of Nightmare: 'Didn't your mother teach you? The prettier a woman is, the less you can trust what she says!'
Ethan: 'What, do you want to be my mom now? I'm asking for a method, not asking for your fucking nonsense!'
The Eye of Nightmare: 'Why do I feel like you're insulting me? Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. If you want to know whether there really are two thousand spirit stones inside, it's simple. Just use alchemy to exchange them. You can exchange the spirit stones for Dragon Coins, can't you? Then you'll know.'
Ethan: 'I didn't expect you to be this smart. When did you get so smart?'
The Eye of Nightmare: 'Hmph, you're only realizing it now!'
After communicating with the Eye of Nightmare, Ethan finally nodded and said to the beautiful snake, "Fine, you can come up first! I'll use the principle of equivalent exchange through alchemy later to determine whether the number of spirit stones in your spatial rings is correct."
"But let me make this clear first. If you dare to cheat me, I'll throw you straight into the red sea!"
"Do you understand!"
"You're an alchemist!", The beautiful snake narrowed her eyes, and a trace of fear flashed through them. She then hurriedly covered it up with a smile and said, "Oh, little brother, why are you being so serious! I was just joking with you!"
As she spoke, the beautiful snake reached out and took back the two spatial rings. Then she rummaged around in her neckline again and directly pulled out a small animal-skin pouch, placing it in Ethan's hand, "There are twenty high-grade spirit stones in here. One is equivalent to one hundred low-grade spirit stones. Consider it the fee for crossing the sea. You're really getting a bargain."
