Chapter 566 Shut Up
Chapter 566 Shut Up
The old man didn’t ask anything.
Before, he had encountered several Destroyer Deities who came to the Gem Exchange for fun.
To the Destroyer Deities, the significance of energy crystals wasn’t that great anymore. They were more interested in cutting out rare gems containing mysterious powers from the stones.
There was even a chance of cutting out divine artifacts hidden inside the stones…
These two asked for a piece of raw ore worth eight thousand energy crystals right from the start, clearly hoping to cut something valuable from it.
At this moment, in the pavilion next to the estate, two old men with aged appearances were playing chess. Hearing someone was going to cut stones, they immediately became interested, abandoning their game to watch William and the others.
“We haven’t seen these two before!”
“Can’t figure out their strength level!”
“They must have been given magic artifacts by their master to hide their strength levels. It allows them to pretend to be weak and then surprise their opponents at critical moments, or act like they’re extremely powerful to make others wary.”
The two old men laughed without restraint.
“Young people always think they can strike it big here!”
“Looks like there’s going to be a good show today.”
Having reached the level of Destroyer Deities, they considered themselves familiar with all the strong individuals in the Divine Realm. Since they didn’t recognize these two, they assumed they weren’t any formidable beings.
Magic artifacts for hiding one’s strength were not that rare.
Thus, the two old fellows didn’t take William and Alice seriously at all.
They have been idling at the Gem Exchange for several years now, not engaging in any other work. Every so often, someone comes specifically to cut raw gemstones, and they also enjoy watching others cut stones, relishing in this pleasure.
For those powerful and idle, life was just this monotonous and boring.
William didn’t bother with the two old men, simply saying to Alice, “You choose!”
He, of course, wouldn’t choose!
If William were to choose, picking any piece would surely result in a profit.
William was curious if Alice would make a loss by choosing a stone.
Logically speaking, Alice had only just learned what the raw ore of energy crystals was, and this was her first time gambling on stones.
Alice whispered, “Spending all the energy crystals at once seems a bit excessive, doesn’t it?”
William asked, “Do you want to play here for years? Are you crazy?”
This remark made the two old men nearby look somewhat displeased.
“Hmph! This ignorant youngster, how dare he say such things to mock us indirectly?” The old man on the left flicked a chess pawn towards William with his finger.
He was a Destroyer Deity, and now that William was disrespectful to him, he thought teaching William a lesson wouldn’t lead anyone to stand up for them over such a matter!
William didn’t move at all, and the chess piece exploded into dust mid-air.
The old man was astonished,this young man…
“When I’m talking to my wife, you two had better shut up!” William was usually polite to others, but there was no need for him to be polite to these two who were being annoying.
After he said this, the two old men were stunned into silence, like statues.
The tremor from the depths of their souls made them very uneasy.
William was merely giving a verbal warning,after all, he never indiscriminately killed the innocent…
Mila and the old man sitting in the courtyard were shocked,they were well aware of the strength of the two old men.
Those were two old men at the level of Destroyer Deities.
William actually spoke to them like that, and it seemed like they were truly intimidated.
Although they didn’t know exactly what happened, they could vaguely sense that William had done something to them.
Alice tugged at William’s sleeve and said softly, “Don’t be so angry.”
In her memory, William had always been a very kind person,it was rare to see him angry.
Gentle and easy-going, friendly with everyone.
“I’m not angry, just wanted them to stop making noise.” William said, “Go ahead and choose the crystal ore.”
If you want to enjoy the show, do so quietly on the side. Making noise and mocking, aren’t you just asking to be hit?
Hearing William say this, Alice couldn’t help but feel nervous.
The eight thousand energy crystals in her spatial storage ring were her initial capital, and she had plans to double, redouble, and continue multiplying this amount.
Now, William was asking her to make a life-or-death investment in one go.
How could she not feel the pressure?
Having grown up in a family of top-tier wealthy individuals, Alice understood one principle very clearly: working a job was not an option.
Exchanging capital for more capital was the correct path.
Merely working a job to earn more was too difficult.
Indeed, Alice had never encountered the raw crystal ores of the Divine Realm before, but she dared to come here because she was confident.
The cheat given to her by a Cosmic Entity.
After the fusion of her soul with the divine aura, she could see the flaws in any move made by others, as well as the imperfections in other items.
Having made up her mind, Alice began to use the power of the divine aura fused within her body. Her pupils swirled with purple mist as she slowly scanned the stones around her.
“Sacred… divine…” The old man who had flicked a chess piece at William earlier was so shocked by Alice’s eyes that he opened his mouth wide, but remembering William’s warning, he dared not speak.
There was no need to mention William,just a word, a look from him, had frightened the two Destroyer Deities to the core. Yet, the lady beside him possessed the power of a divine aura?
The two old men were filled with envy in their hearts!
It was rumored that only a few high-ranking god-kings possessed the power of the divine aura.
What were they thinking just now?
To attack a high-ranking god-king?
The two old men didn’t dare to speak anymore and just quietly watched Alice choose her stone.
You should know, in the Divine Realm, there are many who use clairvoyance and various similar secret techniques.
However, these raw crystal ores come from ancient abyssal veins in the Divine Realm. The outer layer of the raw crystal ores is extremely dense, and they are interfered with by internal energy fields, rendering those secret techniques ineffective.
But Alice, with the power of the divine aura bestowed upon her by a Cosmic Entity, is a different story. She can truly see through and discern what is inside the stones. ππΎπ£πππ’π₯.π€π°π
However…
Alice has no idea what counts as valuable inside the stones.
This is quite awkward!
It’s like placing gold, brass, silver, and other such materials in front of a one-year-old child. The child has no idea about the value of these items. Even if they can see them, how should they choose?
“There’s a beautiful staff in there,” Alice said, staring at a giant stone standing in the courtyard, smiling at William, “Could it be the Mind Stone staff from the Avengers?”
Of course, she was just joking, but William didn’t respond.
He could also see what was inside that stone; it was a powerful artifact called the Frost Giant’s Staff.
It’s uncertain whether Loki currently possesses the Mind Stone staff, but if not, this could perhaps serve as a weapon for him.
“This esteemed lady, can you see what’s inside?” The old man sitting in the middle finally stood up, looking at Alice with utter shock.
It’s worth noting that many of the raw crystal ores sent here are items that even professional appraisers cannot clearly identify.
The gods of the Divine Alliance simply aim to maximize their profits, while also offering a bit of benefit to the lower deities of the Divine Realm.
Occasionally, unearthing valuable items can serve as promotion for their Gem Exchange, selling some unappraised raw crystal ores, much like selling lottery tickets.
Alice nodded and said, “I’ll take this piece of raw crystal ore!”
