Chapter 109: Elf?

  Although Chen Pangzi had told Wu Yeyu earlier that they had brought over a thousand child slaves this time, when he actually saw them, he was still shocked by the scene before his eyes.

  The cages for holding slaves were packed to the brim, all of them children, either lying down or curled up in a corner of the cage. The cages were stacked four layers high, very tall, and it was unclear how they had been placed there; at any rate, when Wu Ye Yu inspected them, he still needed to use ladders and hoists.

  "Haha, Young Master, please take a look! These are the foreign slaves we were talking about. They're all quite young and fit your requirements perfectly." Chen Baozi stretched out his hand to invite him over, pointing towards a large cage in the corner, where twenty or so children with skin as white as jade were slowly being led in. Their hair was golden yellow, their features delicate, and their ears were slightly pointed, longer than those of humans. Apart from that, they didn't look much different from humans.

  "Spirit?" Wu Yeru couldn't help but speak up, although he had never seen one before, but having received too much miscellaneous information from his past life, he already had an image of this legendary creature in his mind. Now that he saw it for the first time, Wu Yeru couldn't help but exclaim.

  "Uh, spirits? Does the young master know these alien people? I don't know if they're really called the spirit tribe or not, but we humans call them the Wood Tree Tribe. These tribes are naturally close to forests and can use wood-based magic. They excel in recovery-type magic and have extremely agile bodies. Also, due to their keen eyesight, every Wood Tree Tribe member basically masters archery. Of course, what they're most famous for is crafting lightweight weapons and exquisite accessories, which I've heard are of very high quality. It's said that some of these items often flow into our human world. Hehe, as for me, Chen Baozi, I haven't seen them before, but I've heard they're quite sought after."

  Wu Ye Yu crouched down, carefully looking at this group of spirits with eyes that were like a cat's, crystal clear and transparent. Her heart was filled with curiosity. These alien tribespeople were indeed not very old, judging by their physique, they were all around seven or eight years old, and their clothes were tattered and worn out. The oldest among them was a girl, who looked to be around twelve or thirteen years old, and she was very pretty. When she saw Wu Ye Yu approaching, her instincts made her protect the people around her with her body, looking like a leader. Her eyes, as they looked at Wu Ye Yu, were filled with vigilance and curiosity.

  "Young master, the Mùshù tribe is a small tribe on the periphery of the human region. Although it's said that they were glorious in the past, they have now declined. The entire tribe only has a few million people left, and most of them still live in the forest, barely surviving. However, because their living places often have demonic beasts appearing, these Mùshù tribespeople can actually coexist peacefully with some powerful demonic beasts, which is why they haven't been exterminated by the surrounding alien tribes." Chen Baozi continued to introduce the situation of what he called the Mùshù tribe.

  "So, haha, so now there are very few wooden tribe slaves for sale on the slave market. As the saying goes, things are precious because they are rare. Hmm, so, young master, the price must be a little more expensive."

  Wu Yeyu looked at the fatty with some amusement and said, "We've done business before, didn't I give you a satisfactory price last time?"

  "No, no, no! Your price is of course satisfactory, hehehe~ Didn't I tell you earlier, young master? Absolutely not that kind of meaning. I'm just introducing the market conditions of this Mu Shu tribe to you first, as long as you don't think Fatso cheated you later."

  Chen Pangzi carefully accompanied the smile, through that day's battle and the castle lord's mansion about the aftermath, this fatty had seen it, the young master in front of him was absolutely not someone he could afford to provoke, so now his words and actions were extremely cautious, lest he provoke this gentleman into a bad mood and get his stall smashed, at which point there would be no place to seek compensation.

  "Ugh, let me take a look at the qualifications of these foreigners first. Hmm, no, Chen Baozi, you'd better tell me their prices first. I was cheated by you once before, and now I'm wiser for it. This time, I'll wait for you to name the price before choosing someone. Otherwise, if you raise the price tenfold again, I'll be the fool." Wu Yeyu said with a slanted gaze at Baozi, his face full of playful teasing.

  "Haha, haha, haha~ Last time you got the short end of the stick, I hope you won't hold it against me, after all, we make a living by being sharp-eyed. Hmm, how about this, young master? I, Chen Baozi, won't cheat you either. These foreign slaves are originally more expensive than our own tribe's slaves. This Mu Shu tribe's slave is rare in the market now, and their auxiliary energy is strong, their combat power isn't weak either... so, how about this, young master? I'll sell you the slave for 800 taels of gold?" Chen Baozi carefully quoted a price, his eyes closely watching Wu Ye Yu's expression, trying not to miss any subtle details.

  "It's too expensive, this price is outrageous, fatty! This price has already exceeded the qualified slaves I personally selected. You're not counting my discerning eye as part of the price, are you? I haven't even made a selection yet, and you have the nerve to quote me this price? Lower it for me!" Wu Ye Yu furrowed his brow, somewhat distracted, as he quickly cast a detection spell on the sprite in the cage.

  The results of the investigation were astonishing, and the batch of elves in front of him had unexpectedly good qualifications, all with physical qualities above 80, and more than six with qualifications above 85. I wonder if these people are within the standard of the task.

  "Hmm, I suppose it's okay, after all the system doesn't specify any particular race, just that they have to be slave children under 9 years old. Huh? Wait! This little brat is already 68 years old!? Alright, alright, I forgot that elves are a long-lived species, so this kid should still be underage... Wu Yeyu turned his head lazily towards Chen Baozi, looking somewhat uninterested, thinking to himself that if this guy dared not give him a discount, he wouldn't buy it. If he had to spend over a hundred years raising it before it became an adult, what was the point of that?"

  "Hey, young master, this price is really not expensive at all. Hmm... how about this? 500 taels, 500 taels of gold, as long as you pick the one you like, I'll sell it to you for this price. This price is already very low, and I'm really not cheating you, the original cost is right there."

  Chen Pangzi apparently saw the change in Wu Yeyu's expression, although he didn't know why the young master in front of him became disinterested, but Chen reacted quickly and lowered the price decisively, otherwise this batch of Muzi trees would end up being a loss for himself, after all, these Muzi trees were notorious for their long lifespan and slow growth...

  "Alright, then sell me all the spirits in this cage. I'm too lazy to bother with you anymore, go and handle the formalities for me." Wu Yeru stood up and said to Fatso, waving his hand.

  "Ah~! Okay, young master, just wait a moment! I'll open the door for you right away, please wait!" Chen Baozi heard that Wu Yeyu had made a full payment, and his face suddenly lit up with joy. He quickly opened the cage and then pulled out a notebook from his clothes, scribbling away rapidly.

  Wu Ye Yu didn't bother to reason with him, pulled out a dagger and entered the cage. Those elf slaves saw that the human child outside had actually pulled out a dagger, and they all subconsciously retreated backwards. However, due to the secret technique in their bodies, these elves were very weak and couldn't make any effective evasive maneuvers.

  Wu Ye Yu didn't seem to notice, and grabbed a small spirit child by the door, pulling it over. Under the gaze of the other spirits, he cut the child's finger and dripped its blood onto the slave contract on his other hand. The small spirit that had been struggling earlier immediately calmed down after signing the contract, and after a while, looked at Wu Ye Yu with a hint of admiration, obediently retreating to one side.

  Outside the cage, Chen Pangzi naturally saw what Wu Yeyu was doing, but he didn't say anything. Any family with a bit of power basically has its own set of slave secret techniques, which are much safer than these universal secret techniques, so Wu Yeyu's actions seemed reasonable to him. If he hadn't done something like this, it would have been abnormal instead.

  In just five minutes, all the spirit slaves in the cage had been signed with a slave contract by Wu Ye Yu. Although when signing the contract with an older female spirit, the other party resisted extremely fiercely, but it didn't last long, and soon was ridden on by Wu Ye Yu, who cut his finger and dripped blood onto the contract.

  After the smooth handover, Wu Ye paid the money very readily. Now this group of elves has officially been transferred to his name, a total of more than 20 wooden tree tribe slaves. If taken out on the street, it's still a pretty cool thing in this small Linbo City.

  But Wu Yeru didn't care about these, because there were still a large number of slaves waiting to be selected next to him. The system's task was also completed as soon as possible, so he hurriedly took the group of elf children and walked in that direction.
