Chapter 255 All the knowledge has gone to the dog's stomach
boom~
……
The fingers tapped incessantly on the table, like a hammer striking people's hearts.
In an instant, the surrounding noise stopped abruptly.
At the same time, all eyes were on Xuan Mingtian.
It can be said to be unparalleled at the time.
However, after several tens of seconds, the tapping on the table finally stopped.
"My friend, as you probably know, although one mid-grade fire stone can be exchanged for 10 low-grade fire stones on the market, this is only the price recognized by the Alliance."
Even for registered trainers, the exchange price at the League is... However, elsewhere, one mid-grade Fire Stone can be exchanged for 15 or even 20 low-grade Fire Stones.
So… you'll need to exchange 12 Fire Stones at the trade fair. All intermediate-grade crystals are priced the same; now it's up to you to decide.”
As soon as Xuan Mingtian finished speaking, he handed the choice back to that student.
However, what followed was...
"Are you kidding me? The Alliance clearly states that 10 low-grade fire stones can be exchanged for one mid-grade one, but you have two extra here."
"Isn't that right, Xuan? You're trying to take advantage of your classmates!"
"That's right, that's right."
"That's right, that's right."
……
A cacophony of voices erupted from the onlookers.
Some even expressed great anger and wanted to rush forward and beat Xuan Mingtian up immediately.
Whether it was due to the discipline of Quartz Academy or the presence of a teacher at the stall, the students who wanted to punch someone hesitated to do so.
"Alright, everyone shut up. I won't say anything to the younger students, but I see a lot of older students. They all seem unhappy and resentful. Did they forget everything the teacher taught them in class?"
You bunch of idiots! Didn't your homeroom teacher say that in remote areas, one mid-grade fire stone can be exchanged for 20 to 30 low-grade fire stones?
What a bunch of scoundrels, they don't know how lucky they are. If you upperclassmen enter society like this, or choose to travel as spirits after graduation, see if you don't get screwed over and then call Xuan immoral.
The homeroom teacher, who had been watching this scene, couldn't help but reprimand those students who were trying to morally blackmail him or who were simply ignorant.
Just then, teachers from other classes walked over from a distance.
He smacked those defiant classmates hard on the back of the head with his hand.
"You idiots! How have I been teaching you? You're already in sixth grade. After next semester, you'll either be going on an elf trip or to a more advanced specialized academy."
"Damn it, do they all just ignore what I say in class?"
……
Before long, the students who had expressed their dissent lowered their heads, looking utterly aggrieved.
Meanwhile, the student who made the deal with Xuan Mingtian had a look of sudden realization in his eyes after hearing the teachers' words.
At that moment, he finally remembered the questions his teachers had discussed in class and the experiences they had summarized.
"It seems I was blinded by a leaf. The improved conditions at the academy made me forget the harshness of society and the wilderness. I'm sorry, Xuan, the transaction will proceed as you said, one intermediate-grade item for 12 low-grade items."
After thinking it all through, the student agreed to Xuan Mingtian's request without hesitation.
He then took out enough fire stones from his backpack and placed them on the table in front of Xuan Mingtian.
"Very good, I appreciate you."
After saying this, Xuan Mingtian waved his right hand.
Yang Bin, who was standing to the side, immediately understood and took out a stone from his backpack. It was about the same size as a low-grade fire stone, but the red color inside was deeper than the previous one.
When the intermediate fire stone was placed on the table, that student snatched it away without saying a word.
His face even showed a perverted expression.
He muttered to himself, "Haha~ Hehe~, a mid-level fire stone, as expected of a mid-level fire stone. Charizard's strength can finally take another step forward."
"Hey student, you're done! You can move on to the next person now, don't block the way!"
A classmate behind him, seeing that he still had a lecherous expression, finally couldn't help but interrupt him.
"Ahem~ Sorry, I got a little engrossed in it just now."
……
The little incident was easily resolved by the teacher's reprimand.
However, the teachers weren't wrong; people outside wanted to exchange low-level fire stones for mid-level ones.
There are only two places to go: the Alliance and the Black Market.
In the Alliance Exchange, besides using 10 Fire Stones, the only other option is to use Contribution Points.
On the black market, you either have to spend a lot of money to buy them, or exchange more low-grade items for mid-grade ones.
So Xuan Mingtian is now exchanging 12 yuan for 1 yuan. To be honest, this is already out of consideration for his fellow alumni.
If you're outside or on the black market, nobody will pay you any attention.
That's why the news of exchanging 12 low-grade coins for 1 mid-grade coin spread further and further.
This led to more unsuspecting students or teachers coming to exchange.
In no time, more and more people gathered at Xuanmingtian's class booth.
……
Time passed slowly, and two hours finally came to an end. Xuan Mingtian immediately got up to leave.
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
The students or teachers who were in line, of course, would not let this opportunity pass and began to persuade him to stay.
Unfortunately, he doesn't even know who he is. He's Xuan Mingtian. The kind of "Xuan" who's utterly lawless, and who would soften his heart so easily with just a few words?
In the end, he still kept over a hundred intermediate-grade fire stones. He handed them over to his homeroom teacher, asking him to help with the transaction.
Xuan Mingtian then left with Binzi, Xiaogang, Xiaoqingmei, and his younger brother, intending to visit other stalls to see if they had any items they liked.
However, although they left, they ended up with two tails following them.
That's right, these are our class monitors, Bai Ying and Bai Wu, a brother and sister.
Of course, we can't forget our respective spirits.
At this moment, Xiao Huolong was seen looking around, while his hand reached into Yang Bin's backpack.
In the blink of an eye, the dragon's hand swiftly withdrew. In its claws lay a low-grade fire stone, and its eyes, glancing around to make sure no one was watching,...
With lightning speed, he threw the Fire Stone into his mouth.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Gurgle~"
After chewing it twice, I swallowed it directly.
Their speed and skillful movements left Bai Ying and Bai Wu, who were following behind, dumbfounded.
Goodness, this is definitely a repeat offender.
The two siblings exchanged a glance, both understanding the meaning behind it.
Then, Bai Wu, with an air of righteousness, quickly approached Yang Bin and whispered, "Yang Bin, I just noticed that your little fire dragon reached into your backpack..."
Those who know, know. Bai Wu is acting as a whistleblower, in short: a double agent.
