2064 Schrödinger’s dragon pearl

As half of the Almighty Merchant’s body emerged from the portal, he said, “Little girl of the Su Clan, what you wanted was—”

Song Shuhang quickly interjected, “The dragon pearl of a true dragon. We don’t want a golden dragon’s pearl or a silver dragon’s pearl.”

The Almighty Merchant glanced at Song Shuhang and turned his head around, ignoring him. Out of sight, out of mind… And if he could not have Tyrannical Song out of sight, he could use a censoring technique that would remove Tyrannical Song from his field of vision.

Sixteen coughed lightly and said, “Senior, I just need to borrow a true dragon’s dragon pearl.”

The Almighty Merchant nodded solemnly and handed a small box to Sixteen. “This dragon pearl is very precious. Remember, you can only use it once. If you use it more than once and ruin it, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song will have to bear full responsibility for it. Its value is equivalent to a small mountain of Ninth Stage spirit stones, and it’s worth two times the flat imperial hat that Tyrannical Song bought from me previously. Therefore, you best handle it with care.”

“Wha… Heavens! It’s worth two times the flat imperial hat?” Song Shuhang gulped.

The flat imperial hat had cost him an entire spatial magical treasure’s worth of spirit stones, and that was already a debt that he had been unable to pay after all this time.

In the past, he believed that as his strength increased, the speed at which he earned spirit stones would also get faster, and he would then be able to repay his debt.

The higher one climbed, the more one earned. There was nothing wrong with it in principle.

However, reality just so happens to, more often than not, smack one right in the face with the truth, ruining one’s fantasies.

It was true that he was earning more and more as his level increased. After all, he could now fight higher-level monsters and exchange them for higher-level spirit stones, as well as go to more dangerous ruins and obtain higher-level loot.

But the problem was that while he was indeed earning more and more, he was similarly spending more and more. Most of the time, the money he earned would not even reach him before being spent or used elsewhere.

A debt worth a single flat imperial hat was already too difficult for him to pay back.

If he were to owe a debt of another two flat imperial hats, perhaps he would have to take Sixteen, Senior White, and Sister White Dragon with him and change his identity.

No, no, Senior White is also a creditor of mine.

What a mess! How can I bring a creditor with me when I run away?

This is not child’s play, and it’s not like I’m going on vacation!

However, if he did not take Senior White with him, Song Shuhang was afraid that he would end up dying somewhere along the way.

At this moment, his mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts.

❄️❄️❄️

Sixteen took the small box.

The Almighty Merchant said solemnly, “Alright, the transaction is complete.”

Transactions should be carried out with seriousness.

By doing so, one would be able to make one’s customers feel that they were spending their money’s worth.

“Senior, please wait.” Song Shuhang asked cautiously, “Senior Almighty Merchant, before I take this dragon pearl, I would like to ask if there is any problem with it. It’s not broken, is it?”

As this dragon pearl was worth two flat imperial hats, he could not help but be extra careful.

When the Almighty Merchant heard his question, his body trembled violently and his expression changed drastically.

When the Almighty Merchant’s expression changed, so did Song Shuhang’s.

The Almighty Merchant’s expression changed when I asked him that question. Could he be trying to trick me just now?

Is there something wrong with this dragon pearl?

Is the Almighty Merchant trying to trick me into paying him two flat imperial hats’ worth of money?

Song Shuhang said via secret sound transmission, “Be careful, Sixteen. Don’t open the box!”

The Almighty Merchant felt rather regretful at the moment.

I was careless. I can’t believe I made such a mistake while doing business with the ruler of the Netherworld.

When he received the dragon pearl from Little Sun You’re Busy T233, he did not inspect it carefully.

He merely glanced at it and confirmed that it was the dragon pearl of a living true dragon. He did not take the dragon pearl out of the box and check if it was intact and undamaged.

If there was a problem with this dragon pearl, wouldn’t the remaining half of his payment be lost forever?

I must have been influenced by the ruler of the Netherworld back in the world of the black lotus. Otherwise, how could I have made such a rookie mistake? the Almighty Merchant thought to himself.

The ruler of the Netherworld is one of the most, if not the most, terrifying existences in the universe.

When I head to the world of the black lotus in the future, I must place a few more magical techniques on my person to make sure that I can resist the influence of the Netherworld Ruler.

“To be honest with you, when I received this dragon pearl, I did not inspect it carefully,” the Almighty Merchant said solemnly. “This is the second blunder I’ve made this year.”

The first blunder was getting to know Tyrannical Song.

The Almighty Merchant said seriously, “As such, I’m not sure if the dragon pearl in this box is good or not. It might be good, but it might also be bad. According to a theory proposed by a famous physicist, the dragon pearl in the box could be either good or bad, and it’s thus in a state of both at this moment. Its life and death are in a superimposed state. Only when you open the box can you know whether this dragon pearl is alive or dead.”

Sister White Dragon laughed and said, “Schrödinger’s dragon pearl?”

“I don’t care about that,” Song Shuhang said. “I just want to know, if this dragon pearl is damaged, who is to blame?”

The Almighty Merchant raised his head and looked up at the sky.

He felt that he had been tricked.

He then looked at Senior White and asked, “Sage White, what do you think?”

“Open it.” Senior White nodded and said, “I’m looking forward to seeing Song Shuhang pregnant with septuplets.”

The Almighty Merchant laughed heartily. He felt more at ease now, and he said boldly, “Open it. If it’s damaged, it’s my fault.”

Sixteen’s slender fingers opened the small box.

The moment the box was opened, a seal was broken.

The dragon pearl in the box shone with a gentle and beautiful light.

“This dragon pearl…” The divine dragon and Sister White Dragon muttered at the same time.

The two big shots had sensed something special about the dragon pearl.

The level of the dragon pearl was extremely high.

Moreover, it was also of a very special kind.

Sister White Dragon said, “This feeling… A demodragon?”

“A demodragon? That sounds familiar… Ah, the demodragon medicine!” Song Shuhang suddenly remembered the demodragon medicine, which could significantly enhance a cultivator’s physique. It was a medicine that would allow the user to spin a cocoon after drinking it.

Sixteen asked in puzzlement, “Is the demodragon also a true dragon?”

Isn’t a demodragon a type of cosmic demon?

With the continuous improvement of the technology that cultivators had at their disposal, cosmic demons that appeared in the main world were no longer seen as disasters but rather as walking treasures.

“I’m not certain about the specifics of this matter either.” Sister White Dragon touched the dragon pearl lightly.

There was nothing wrong with the aura coming from the dragon pearl, and concealed within it was also the madness typical of cosmic demons.

However, what was surprising was that demodragons also had dragon pearls.
