Chapter 424 An Apology from the Royal Family: Hong Ki-seok Extorts Money

Purchasing 500 intermediate skill scrolls in one go is definitely a big spender.

The exchange's system administrators were startled once again.

Jiang Chen had just sold equipment worth 90 billion, and then immediately bought intermediate skill scrolls worth 40 billion, leaving the management personnel dumbfounded.

"If there hadn't been a discount, we could have made an extra billion," the manager muttered to himself, lost in thought.

For many people, 10 billion is already an astronomical figure.

But for Jiang Chen, money wasn't an issue. He could run more dungeons, sell the equipment, and have the money.

After all, he was running the dungeon alone, so all the equipment belonged to him and he didn't need to share it with anyone else.

Jiang Chen felt a little bored that the money came too easily.

So he bought a full 1000 intermediate skill scrolls in one go, almost buying up most of the stock in the exchange.

"1000 should be enough, right?" Jiang Chen thought, this number is about right.

If that's not enough, you can also consider buying the intermediate skill scroll for Flash.

Upon returning to Hongshen Courtyard, Jiang Chen sensed the presence of outsiders even before entering.

It seems someone has come to visit.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly. "So it's a gift." As he walked into the courtyard, he saw Situ Liang and Situ Yu.

When Situ Yu saw Jiang Chen, a hint of apology flashed in his eyes.

I don't know if he felt sorry for being trapped in the world of rotting corpses, or for the unreasonable request he made last time.

Jiang Chen wouldn't be so petty; some things are best left in the past.

When Situ Liang saw Jiang Chen, he smiled and greeted him, "General Jiang, you're back."

His attitude was quite polite. As the ruler of the country and a god-level expert, he didn't need to treat Jiang Chen like this.

But for various reasons, he was very polite to Jiang Chen.

He knew very well that as long as Jiang Chen didn't die, he would definitely surpass him in the near future.

No matter what kind of national ruler or god-level expert he is, he's no match for Jiang Chen. As the ruler of a nation, he certainly has that much insight.

Situ Liang was polite, so Jiang Chen naturally had to respond politely as well, "Greetings, Your Majesty, and Princess Yu."

"Greetings, General Jiang." Situ Yu addressed Jiang Chen as General Jiang to show respect.

Then Situ Liang's eyes narrowed sharply, and his voice trembled slightly, "General Jiang, you've become a two-star general."

Jiang Chen nodded. "Mm."

As they were talking, Jiang Chen had already passed Situ Liang and arrived at Hong Jishi's side, without saying another word.

Jiang Chen knew perfectly well why the two had come.

Let Hung Ki-shek decide this matter; it's best if he keeps quiet.

Hong Jishi was adept at extorting money from people.

I wonder if Situ Liang and Situ Yu just arrived, or if they've already been ripped off.

At this moment, Hong Jishi spoke up, "Your Majesty of the East, I have received your kind intentions. What happened before was unintentional, so there is no need to mention it again."

Hearing this, Situ Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

This matter is now considered closed.

Jiang Chen understood that the task of knocking on the bamboo pole had been completed.

After exchanging a few more polite words, the two left Hongshen's courtyard.

During this time, Situ Liang was extremely polite to Jiang Chen.

Before leaving, he made a point of saying goodbye to Jiang Chen.

Back in the palace, Situ Yu was puzzled. "Father, why did you suddenly become so polite to Jiang Chen?"

Although they were polite before, it shouldn't have come to this.

All of this made Situ Yu feel that her father was trying to curry favor with Jiang Chen.

Situ Liang coughed lightly, "He's become a two-star Divine General." Situ Yu was puzzled, "Wasn't he already a Divine General? What's the difference between a two-star Divine General and a regular one?"

Situ Liang said, "Of course it's different. As long as you have enough military merits, you can become a divine general."

"There is not much difference between a starless god general and a one-star god general; you can achieve that simply by killing enough enemies."

"But the second star is different. The second star can only be achieved by killing a demon king. It is said that at least one demon king must die at the hands of General Jiang."

"I had heard before that the Flame Demon King went into the dungeon to hunt down Jiang Shenjiang, but was killed instead. But I still can't believe that someone below level 50 could possibly kill the Demon King."

"Today we've finally confirmed it's true; the sergeant's badge doesn't lie."

Situ Yu asked curiously, "Couldn't it be that Hong Shen and Ru Shen beat the Demon King half to death, and then let him finish him off?"

Situ Liang chuckled, "Then you really don't understand sergeant's badges. Doing this won't help." "In any case, when you see him in the future, you should show him even more respect. His future achievements will far exceed your imagination."

In the courtyard of Hong Shen, Hong Jishi was grinning from ear to ear.

Jiang Chen didn't know how many good things he had gotten, but he guessed quite a lot.

Li Xueru said, "Look at how you're laughing, you're drooling."

Hong Jishi smiled broadly, "The royal family is really rich, much richer than me."

"I've spent most of my life collecting materials, and I still haven't lost as much as they have in one go."

Jiang Chen was even more curious about what Situ Liang had brought, given that Hong Jishi had lost his composure like this.

Hong Jishi said, "Xiao Chen, do you want to go to the Corpse Realm again?"

Jiang Chen's forehead immediately creased with disbelief; his teacher seemed to have gone mad. Li Xueru sighed, "Ignore him, this guy's insane."

"This time, Situ Liang has shown his sincerity by bringing a lot of good stuff. To put it simply, it has fully replenished the resources you used when you were undergoing your second transformation."

"The materials for the third job advancement are sufficient."

"And there are some things you can use right now."

Jiang Chen knew that Hong Jishi had almost emptied his pockets to prepare for his second promotion.

Despite being a god-level powerhouse, his family background wasn't actually that wealthy.

They certainly can't compare to a thousand-year-old family like royalty.

It's normal that someone could easily contribute more than Hung Kei-shek.

Li Xueru couldn't stand it any longer, so he shot a beam of light from his fingertip, which struck Hong Jishi. Hong Jishi was immediately sent flying hundreds of meters away.

After Hong Jishi flew back, he finally returned to normal.

He didn't blame Li Xueru for attacking him; in fact, he was a little embarrassed.

He took out two boxes and threw them to Jiang Chen.

"Other things are not very useful to you, but the things here are for you to use."

Jiang Chen took the box and opened it.

The first mouthful contained neatly arranged scrolls.

Ten shimmering intermediate skill scrolls.

It is indeed what I need.

Moreover, with 10 intermediate skill scrolls, he now has 14 shiny intermediate skill scrolls, which is more than enough.

Then he opened another box, and the moment the box was opened, a stream rushed out of it.

Inside was a skill scroll, a high-level skill scroll that was gleaming.

Advanced skill scrolls are already very expensive, with a price of 1 million on the exchange.

As for the advanced skill scrolls that gleam, they are priceless.

Jiang Chen only has one copy so far.

Now there's a second one.

Hong Ki-seok said, "10 intermediate level cards and 1 advanced level card."

"High-level skill scrolls with flashing light are not easy to obtain. Even the royal family probably doesn't have many in stock. Use them when you reach level 80."

Jiang Chen understood Hong Jishi's meaning: when undergoing the third job advancement at level 70, he should try his best to complete the job advancement.

That way, level 70 skills can be mastered automatically, eliminating the need to waste high-level skill scrolls.

Even after reaching level 90 and transforming into a god, skill scrolls are still unnecessary.

It's only required at level 80.

Jiang Chen put away the box. "Teacher, I bought some intermediate skill scrolls at the exchange. I'll keep the 'Shining' scroll as a backup, just in case."

Hong Jishi nodded. "That's what I meant too. You're level 50 now, so just use a regular skill scroll."

"Use the Flash Scroll when you reach level 60. 14 Flash Scrolls will be enough for you. You won't have that many skills."

"By the way, how many intermediate skill scrolls did you buy? Do you have enough money? If not, I have some."

Jiang Chen said, "1000."

puff!

Hong Jishi nearly spat out his tea. "Where did you get so much money?"

1000 tickets, without discounts, would be worth a full 100 billion.

Jiang Chen said, "I sold all the equipment I got from the dungeon, and that's how I got it."

"The exchange gave me a discount, 20% off." After all, it was a solo trade, so it's normal to earn more.

Hong Jishi said, "First, restore your energy and spirit to their best state, then you can use the skill scroll."

"1000 should be enough."
