Chapter 61 Suddenly Enlightened

"Someone has discovered an odd melon in the Kunlun Mountain, and is going to auction it off?"

When Li Ping'an heard this news, he was also delighted.

But when Lin Jianjia searched with the keyword 'odd melon', more news emerged immediately.

"Someone has discovered the odd melon on Mount Tai, someone has discovered the odd melon on Longhu Mountain, and on Mount Heng..." In the end, the two of them found that, just within the Walt Country, there were more than ten pieces of news about the odd melon. Plus America, Europe, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, and other places, there were actually more than thirty pieces of news about the odd melon.

Lin Jianjia was happy, but at the same time, she frowned slightly. She looked into Li Ping'an's eyes and said, "Daniu, the odd melon's appearance may be of great help to us, but with so many of them, the market price will definitely fall..."

Li Ping'an smiled and said confidently, "Jianjia, you don't have to worry about this. My understanding is the opposite. The odd melon's price is likely to rise again!"

"Eh..."

Lin Jianjia was instantly speechless. After a moment, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Li Ping'an. She mocked, "Daniu, are you out of your mind? Only rare things are valuable. If a large amount of the odd melons appeared in the market, it will definitely cause fluctuations in the market. Do you think those who buy the odd melon are fools? They will definitely force down the market price."

"I estimate that if we can't sell these odd melons as soon as possible, we'd suffer a loss of at least 30 percent, or even higher than 50 percent."

Lin Jianjia was obviously distressed.

For ordinary people, 100 million in cash might already be incomprehensible, enough to live a comfortable life without worrying about anything.

However, for martial artists who pursued the power, this amount of money was too little. It was simply like a small stone thrown into the sea, unable to stir up anything.

Li Ping'an looked at Lin Jianjia's beautiful face and could not help but laugh.

Although Lin Jianjia was extremely intelligent and meticulous, her understanding of and experiences in life were still too shallow.

Although she had joined the adventurers team several times in the past, that was still not enough.

Of course, this might also have something to do with her background.

Even though her father died a long time ago, the Black Hawk Martial Arts Club was still one of the powerful forces in Taihang Mountain, which had established a very deep foundation. Lin Jianjia could definitely be considered a wealthy young lady. This meant that it was difficult for her to have a deeper understanding of people of all walks and worldly affairs like Li Ping'an.

When Li Ping'an saw the coldness in Lin Jianjia's pretty face, he no longer teased her and explained with a smile, "Jianjia, actually this truth is quite simple to understand. You can't catch it at this time, not because you are not smart enough, but mainly because you lack experience. You have never been exposed to this kind of thing before, and you don't understand the sinister nature of people."

"Think about it: Who will benefit the most from the great variation this time? Humans?"

"Eh..."

Lin Jianjia was extremely intelligent. With just a hint from Li Ping'an, she instantly got the point and hurriedly looked into Li Ping'an's eyes. "Daniu, you mean..."

Li Ping'an smiled faintly. "That's right! This time, the ones who benefit the most from the great variation are probably those unknown ferocious beasts in the mountains!"

Li Ping'an took Lin Jianjia's cup and drank a few mouthfuls of water as he spoke. He smiled and explained, "Jianjia, we humans are creatures outside the mountains. If we can obtain such benefits from the great variation, then how about those ferocious beasts who are native to the mountains and have a better understanding of the topography of the mountains?!"

"In the past, before such a large-scale variation occurred, the casualty rate for these adventurers teams entering the mountains was already somewhat astonishingly high. Now, with such a large-scale of the great variation, do you really think the adventurer teams who go into the mountains to pick odd melons will have any big harvest?"

"..."

Lin Jianjia tightly bit her red lips, and her delicate eyebrows were tightly knitted together.

Li Ping'an's words were like a skylight for her world. They suddenly broadened her vision almost endlessly!

He was right!

After the accumulation of the great variations several times, the intelligence of these fierce beasts in the mountains was already not inferior to that of humans. At this time, with such a large scale of the great variation, how could they get fewer benefits than the humans who lived outside the mountains?

Lin Jianjia could think of what would happen next even by using her toes. The news of the appearance of these odd melons was bound to greatly stimulate many adventurers teams, thus triggering a new fervor in exploring the wilderness.

However, just like what Li Ping'an had said before, this was obviously a terrifying disaster for these adventurers teams.

Once the adventurers teams suffered a setback and the death numbers increased, even the most courageous person would feel fear.

In that case, even if there were some odd melons, how could their prices not go up?

Even if people knew very well that there were odd melons in the mountains, no one had the ability to bring them out.

What was more, it had already been a few days since this great variation. Perhaps, those ordinary odd melons had already been completely digested by all kinds of ferocious beasts!

As for the powerful odd melons like Longxian Herb, even if a master who surpassed the Awakening Stage might not be able to guarantee that he would succeed in obtaining them.

Seeing that Lin Jianjia was deep in thought, Li Ping'an did not disturb her. He smiled and carefully appreciated her pretty face. He really did not get tired of looking at her.

Compared to Luohan's great nobleness and indifference, Jiang Zhiyan's loftiness, Ms. Hong's gentleness and charm, Lin Jianjia was different. She was also slightly cold, however, since he broke the outer layer of her protective shell, he found the softness and warmth inside, like a gurgling stream in the deep valley, which moistened things silently and slowly.

This kind of warmth and softness was hard to describe with words. The two of them seemed to have a mutual understanding, which made Li Ping'an feel that his entire body was extremely comfortable.

Of course, he just purely appreciated her, and also had a touch of possessiveness that all men would have, but he never thought of violating her.

At this time, Lin Jianjia also came back to her senses. Seeing that Li Ping'an was so brazenly peeking at her, her pretty face was slightly red, but her heart was full of joy.

But on the surface, she fiercely glared at Li Ping'an and spat, "Daniu, what are you looking at? You're going to get a problem in your eyes!"

She also didn't expect that Li Ping'an, who looked even more stupid than a bull, was smarter than anyone at the critical moment.

Especially, with his great calmness as a mountain and his control over everything, he was like a towering tree, shielding her from the wind and rain and giving her a full sense of security.

Seeing that Li Ping'an only smiled but did not look away from her, Lin Jianjia could not help but blush even more. For a moment, she did not dare to face Li Ping'an and she quickly changed the topic. "Daniu, what should we do now? Should we hold on and spend some time observing the situation?"

Since Lin Jianjia had gotten to the point, Li Ping'an stopped teasing her and his face grew serious.

Of course, he knew that although the beautiful girl in front of him seemed to be relaxed, she was under extremely heavy pressure!

Above all, all women and children of the hundreds of dead and wounded Black Hawk Martial Arts Club members relied on this slender Lin Jianjia to make a living.

According to the normal rules, if the members of an adventurers team died, the team was at most expected to give their family a compensation fee. After that, they would have to rely on themselves to make a living.

But that wasn't how it worked in Lin Jianjia's Black Hawk Martial Arts Club.

When her father was alive, he had left behind such a rule that stated "family members of those who die for the Club must be taken good care of."

This seemed to cost a lot, but if there were outstanding talents in the next generation, they would be more loyal to Black Hawk Martial Arts Club. Only then would Black Hawk Martial Arts Club become more stable and stronger!

Unfortunately, the disaster happened too suddenly. Her father and the entire Black Hawk Martial Arts Club members were all killed. The young Lin Jianjia had no time to react before the Club had collapsed.

However, Lin Jianjia did not abandon this rule after shedding all her tears. After dealing with the funeral affairs, she used the little remaining money to support these women and children, helping their children go further on the road of martial arts.

Therefore, 100 million seemed to be a lot, but it was like a pool of stagnant water in Lin Jianjia's hand.

If she couldn't enliven this pool of stagnant water as soon as possible, within two or three months, there would be a big problem with the fund chain.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ping'an said, "Jianjia, listen to me, although we will have a slight loss to sell it now, it is still a good time. Let's auction one odd melon first, then we sell half of these Teling Herbs. We will be able to get more cash flow and Nutrition Drops. Of course, I will offer one of my odd melons, and you shall keep your share for the time being. Don't argue with me, just take it as the payment for being my maid in the past few days!"

"Li Daniu, what did you say? Who is your maid?!"

Lin Jianjia understood it after a while and couldn't help but be furious. She stared at Li Ping'an with her beautiful eyes as if she wanted to eat him alive. However, Li Ping'an had already run far away with laughter.

The dark-skinned and vigorous boy had rushed into the river to fight the storms again, and the beautiful eyes of the young girl were already... full of tears...

Daniu's mind was as broad as this great river, but... couldn't he say something nice?

Every time he irritated her like this, making her good impression of him fade considerably in one moment...

Could it be that he was really silly and didn't understand a girl's heart?

...

After breakfast, Li Ping'an and Lin Jianjia drove to Hanjiang Luck Goddess Club.

Although the two of them were a little anxious to sell the odd melon, they were not in a hurry at this moment.

These odd melons and Teling Herbs were Lin Jianjia's heart-soothing pill. Even though she knew that she would spend up all of the 100 million if she wasted more time, she was not too worried at this time.

After all, ten Teling Herbs already demanded an astronomical price, not to mention one odd melon.

As the two of them discussed earlier, Li Ping'an had also thought of entrusting Ms. Hong with the sale of this odd melon.

Although he hadn't really known Ms. Hong for a long time, they had braved deaths altogether many times. Li Ping'an deeply trusted Ms. Hong's integrity in especial.

However, at this time, Ms. Hong was still on a vacation abroad. It was not easy for her to have such a holiday. Li Ping'an really did not want to disturb her.

Of course, the most important thing was that Li Ping'an had ample confidence in himself!

Even if the wilderness was undergoing a great variation and was extremely dangerous at this moment, Li Ping'an was not afraid of anything horrible, because he had snatched the Longxian Herb from the mouth of the dark python!

A man's self-confidence was too crucial!

As for Li Ping'an, after more than ten years of vigorous accumulation, it was time for him to feel confident in himself!

Li Ping'an had been to Hanjiang Luck Goddess Club once before, so he was familiar with this place. Lin Jianjia clearly had experienced big occasions before, so her understanding of this kind of place was even deeper than Li Ping'an.

The two of them had come here only to investigate the situation, and they didn't have to sell this odd melon and Teling Herbs in Hanjiang City.

After all, Jiangnan was prosperous and there were too many people who needed treasures like odd melons, so they didn't worry that there would be no buyers.

Of course, they were not in a hurry.

Inside the Luck Goddess Club's hall, Li Ping'an ordered a glass of juice made by five-star Nutrition Drop for Lin Jianjia like a gentleman. He ordered a dozen beers for himself and a bunch of desserts that girls liked. He was just about to sit down and enjoy this pleasant moment.

But before his butt touched the soft chair, he was suddenly shocked by the conversation of the people at the table next to him. A shiver ran down his spines and he almost froze on the spot!
