Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start Chapter 199 - 163: The Mystery of the Underworld City! (Two in One, 2/9)_1

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Chen Mo decided it would be best not to enter the Realm Breakthrough Assessment for now.

Thinking this, Chen Mo decided to postpone the Realm Breakthrough Assessment.

Chen Mo spent the entire day relaxing to prepare for tomorrow’s college entrance exam.

However, while resting, he suddenly received a Heavenly Path’s Hint.

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: A counteroffer has been made on the "Myriad Spirits Medicine" you are selling, please check.]

It’s possible to haggle over prices in the Heavenly Trade Market; sellers can set their own minimum counteroffer percentage. They can also refuse to accept counteroffers. Typically, if no settings are made when listing an item, others have the right to make a counteroffer down to 50% of the listed price.

Chen Mo glanced at it; the counteroffer was for 1.5 billion. He immediately rejected the counteroffer and then set the item to not accept further counteroffers. This way, he wouldn’t receive any more counteroffers. People could either buy it at the listed price or look elsewhere.

Soon after, Chen Mo received a private message.

[Heavenly Dao Account 1765XX...: Excuse me, could you lower the price of your Ten-Thousand Spirit Medicine a bit? My family urgently needs this medicine to save a life. I only have 1.8 billion. Otherwise, how about I add my epic-level item, worth 200 million, to the deal?]

After reading the private message, Chen Mo recalled his grandfather’s previous condition.

[Heavenly Dao Account 7777XX...: What epic-level item?]

The other party quickly sent the item information.

[Epic Calming Gem]

[Item Passive Effect]: When carried, all of the owner’s skill Cooldowns are reduced by 20%. (Effective even when in the backpack.)

[Item Introduction]: Possess it, and you will be able to use your Skills faster.

[Heavenly Dao Account 7777XX...: Deal.]

[Heavenly Dao Account 1765XX...: Thank you! Please enable special counteroffer for me.]

Chen Mo immediately set it up. A special counteroffer allows the other party to pay using a combination of money and items.

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Heavenly Dao Account 1765XX... wishes to use 18 eternal gold coins plus one "Epic Calming Gem" in exchange for your "Myriad Spirits Medicine." Do you agree?]

Chen Mo clicked on the Epic Calming Gem again to inspect it. Confirming there were no issues, he immediately clicked "Agree."

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Transaction completed. You have received 18 eternal gold coins and one "Epic Calming Gem."]

Chen Mo immediately spent another 600 million to make another bottle and listed it for 2 billion.

The money he had on hand was now approaching 5 billion again.

Chen Mo planned to look into buying one after the college entrance exam.

In the afternoon, Liu Yiyi returned home early.

"You’re home early today, Sister Yiyi," Chen Mo greeted her at the door with a smile.

Liu Yiyi flashed a brilliant smile and said, "The family I work for has found a new Gardener. I was able to come home after explaining the previous garden’s layout to her. Since I’m home early today, I’ll cook some good Kung Pao chicken for you tonight." With that, Liu Yiyi waved the ingredients in her hand.

That night, Chen Mo enjoyed the Kung Pao chicken Liu Yiyi had cooked, a treat he hadn’t had in a long time. He rubbed his round belly, feeling deeply satisfied.

"Even if it’s tasty, you shouldn’t eat too much. Look at you," Liu Yiyi laughed, watching Chen Mo pat his stomach, clearly full.

"Go to bed early tonight. You can’t be late for the college entrance exam tomorrow."

"Okay."

The next day, Chen Mo got up early.

For the college entrance exam, students would gather at the school, and all of them would be teleported to the exam venue at once via the Teleportation Array. There were a total of ten exam venues nationwide. Each exam venue could accommodate a total of ten thousand people.

It was fortunate that the population was not as large as it used to be; otherwise, in the old era, each year during the college entrance exam, China would have had tens of millions of candidates. When the Disaster struck, countless lives were lost worldwide, and people slowly rebuilt their homes amidst the ruins. Now, the total population of China was just over a hundred million. Moreover, most children from aristocratic families didn’t participate in the college entrance exam, nor did those with lifestyle professions. The number of candidates for the college entrance exam had naturally declined sharply. It was considered a lot if there were a hundred thousand candidates nationwide each year. Sometimes, not all ten venues were even filled.

When he arrived at the school, it was already bustling with people.
