"S-S-S-Superior quality spirit stone!" Heng Wu, Fei Liquan and the rest who didn't know about the extent of Duan Li's wealth stuttered in their speech as if a cat that bit its own tongue.
Even Meng Yue whom had only heard the reason as to how and why her son became the Imperial Overseer and knew about this, could not help but for her mouth to become slightly agaped after seeing a real superior quality spirit stone being taken out by her son!
Meanwhile, Heng Wu by the side narrowed his eyes in alarm, his expression grim. "This young man is not simple!" he said to himself. Taking out his communication jade slip, he sent out a message discreetly.
'Go find out the background of a student in the Jixue Knights Academy named Duan Li!' was what his message contained.
He knew that the other party was Meng Yue's son from their conversation, but a person who could take out a superior quality spirit stone so casually for a bet in a restaurant was definitely someone whom they could not afford to offend with!
Perhaps, this young man has a connection to some sort of mega entity!
After all, just the total value of a single superior quality spirit stone was already equal to a few generations worth of their total income!
To put this further into context, the standard exchange rate for a low quality spirit stone would be a 100 inferior quality spirit stones, a single medium quality spirit stone would be a 1,000 low quality spirit stones, and a high quality spirit stone would amount to 10,000 medium quality spirit stones!
Therefore, a single superior quality spirit stone by right, should amount to 100,000 high quality spirit stones!
However, even though this might already sounds quite a lot, its real value even surpassed that by a large margin!
After all, big corporates could easily earn such an amount of sum in just a matter of few years in operation and would thus, depreciate the value of a superior quality spirit stone if that had been the case.
Actually, the contents of spiritual Qi condensed inside a superior quality spirit stone was so thick that if it were put inside a special extraction artifact to generate artificial power, a city could be powered for at least 100 years!
Taking that into consideration, the actual value of a superior quality spirit stone would be at least.. a million of high quality spirit stones!
"T-This is cheating! Why do you have to take out a Superior quality spirit stone when we are betting with high quality spirit stones?! Quickly take that back!" Fei Liquan turned panicky as there was no way he could overrule the value of a superior quality spirit stone nor took out one himself.
Despite being the scion of the Fei Clan, even he did not have that much money inside his pockets.
Duan Li chuckled, "Why? Can't take out one?" he said with a teasing voice, trying to put pressure on the other party.
Hearing this had Fei Liquan's face turned crimson in embarrassment. All the time, it was always him who would face-slap others with his money and not the other way around.
Gritting his teeth, he was now hell-bent in not giving up if its a challenge in terms of who has the most money!
Forcing himself to calm down, he thought for a while on how to extricate himself out of this situation before his eyes flashed as he came up with something, and a smile suddenly crept up on his lips.
With a haughty tone, he began to reply to Duan Li. "Of course I don't have it with me right now, only idiots would carry a superior quality spirit stone around, waiting to be mugged by someone! Hmph!"
"Furthermore, what are you even planning on doing in taking that thing out? Trying to scare me? You think this meager restaurant could pay you the remainders if you used that to pay for the food? Even if they close down right now and sell all their assets to you, it would perhaps still take them a few years to at least pay everything out properly!" he added with a slight contempt by the end of his sentence.
Duan Li and his party was surprised by this, even Fei Longwei was taken aback by how smart this intellectually disabled scion had become.
However, this was what surprised them the most; being both smart and intellectually disabled at the same time was far too much of a contrast that it should not have co-existed!
Meanwhile, Heng Wu could be seen pressing his hand tightly onto his chest with another arm on the wall supporting himself, as if he was being dealt with a critical blow!
Naturally, Duan Li was also well aware of this and had only taken out the superior quality spirit stone to quickly end their petty competition. But who knew that this Fei Liquan was quite a stuck up person?
Since this was the way the other party wanted, then he just have to follow it through.
After all, in terms of money.. well, he owned the Jiu Empire anyway.
Thus, before the other party could boast and open his mouth again, Duan Li had already flicked his hand one more time and 'huala!'..
A hundred high quality spirit stones appeared on the table!
Kuh!
Fei Liquan almost stumbled and fell down on his own when he saw how decisive Duan Li was in taking out all those spirit stones.
At this moment, he was about bawl out his eyes and cry..
What is this? Isn't a show of wealth should usually be done gradually so that hype would built up before the final moment comes where the defeated would then said to the people watching something like 'I've found a worthy opponent' or things like that so he could walk away cooly?
What is wrong with you taking out a hundred high quality spirit stones just like that? How am I even going to compete with just 10 high quality spirit stones in my pocket?!
Besides, who in the world would walk around carrying such a large sum of money that would amount to some small clan's financial savings so casually? Isn't he afraid of being robbed?
And most importantly, Can't you give me some face as the young scion of the most wealthiest clan in the whole Jiu Empire?
You're making me look like a pauper now!
Realizing that there was no way he could win if he tried to do this with money, he only had one more way to solve this.
"H-Hmph! It seems that you also got some money alright. But compared to the money I actually have, even this whole restaurant would not be enough to act as its warehouse!" he said.
"Then, you're not admitting defeat?" at this moment, Duan Li was already feeling quite tired entertaining this fellow.
Should I just let mother slap him or I slap him myself so all this would be over?
Fei Liquan laughed out loud with both hands on his waist.
"Hahahaha! You're mistaken if this duel of ours was only one round! Don't you know about this simple basic of 2 rounds? Hmph! Let's compete with food decryption then! If you win again this time, then by all means the Dominion King Lobster would be yours!"
Shen Murong that had long held it in himself from beating up this retarded idiot gnashed his teeth and replied to him with an infuriated tone, "Huh? You are already the best Culinary Seer there is in this restaurant, and you are trying to compete with our Lord when he had never done such a thing before?"
Wei Shang and Wei Wang also felt the same as Shen Murong, and thus they backed up the latter's statement, "Yeah! This is just like a Nascent Soul realm expert trying to pick a fight against a Foundation establishment cultivator! How is that fair?!"
The rest also nodded to this as well.
Fei Liquan, being the mentally retarded person he was, naturally took this literally.
"What do you mean? Even a newbie cultivator could tell that I'm no Nascent Soul realm expert and is still in the Foundation establishment realm like he is! Don't tell me that the academy didn't at least teach you guys this?!" he replied with a face full of surprise, and by the looks of it, he wasn't making up that expression as well.
Pa!
Everyone face-palmed themselves, including Heng Wu and Fei Liquan's servants as well as his personal bodyguard.
Hais!
No wonder Fei Longwei went under the radar from this person!
"And besides, your Lord here has a lot of money on him at the moment while I don't, so naturally this is the only way to do it!" Fei Liquan added.
"Fine, but do you dare to promise on your Fei Clan's honor that you would admit defeat if you lose?" Duan Li sighed and just went on with it.
"Duan Li!"
"Lord!"
The others of course, does not agree on this, but Duan Li waved his hand dismissively, his expression indifferent and there was no sense of panic in his eyes.
"I agree! And I swear on this with everyone here as the witness!" Fei Liquan answered confidently.
In his mind, there was no way he would lose if its a battle of food decryption!
Duan Li nodded to this as he crossed both arms on his chest and said casually, "Then let's get started, which food should we decrypt first?"
