OFR – Chapter 196 Border Trader Exchange Meeting.

During their chat, Kang Yun Yun openly revealed that she had long been acquainted with Mu Bai through their online group and that she was the younger sister of Wen Rou Ruo Shui.

This revelation left Mu Bai, sitting in his Xuanwu Zhongshan North Villa, surprised by their connection. Kang Yun Yun’s honesty also made him develop a better impression of her.

“Yes, I want the Bi Hai Yun Tian. Do you want to trade it for a super-premium Tiger Tail Grass, or do you prefer cash?” Mu Bai typed.

Kang Yun Yun replied with a smiley emoji: “Let’s trade for the super-premium Tiger Tail Grass, hehe. Would that be okay with you?”

Typically, the price of a premium-grade Bi Hai Yun Tian is equivalent to that of an ordinary super-premium flower. However, in direct trades, many people would feel that exchanging a super-premium plant for a premium one is a loss.

After all, there’s no guarantee that a premium-grade Bi Hai Yun Tian can be cultivated into a higher-tier plant. Successful cases of such trades were rare.

Unless the premium plant was more expensive than the super-premium one, the chances of a successful trade were slim.

But with his mystical space, Mu Bai had no concerns about cultivating Bi Hai Yun Tian to a higher level.

“Alright,” he replied. “Same place—South Miscellaneous Forum for the trade?”

When Kang Yun Yun saw his straightforward response, she suddenly recalled her first encounter with Mu Bai in the group chat a few days prior.

Back then, he had been just as direct—so much so that when her sister Wen Rou Ruo Shui tried to offer him a discount of several million, he coldly rejected it without hesitation!

Yes, this was a true tycoon—someone who wouldn’t fuss over saving mere millions.

Had it been someone else who agreed to the trade so quickly, Kang Yun Yun might have been wary of a scam.

But considering who he was, she eagerly replied, “Yes, yes! Mr. Tycoon, when would you be available for the trade? The forum allows direct exchanges.”

Mu Bai: “Now.”

Seeing this expected reply, Kang Yun Yun wasted no time. She swiftly created a trade post on the South Miscellaneous Forum.

Since both of them had previously completed transactions on the forum, it only took about seven to eight minutes for them to finalize the trade.

Once the deal was done, Kang Yun Yun sent another message.

Kang Yun Yun: “By the way, Mr. Tycoon, have you sold that super-premium Purple Gold Peony yet?”

Mu Bai: “Not yet. Why? Are you interested?”

Kang Yun Yun: “Yes! I want to trade a super-exquisite Blue Blood Tulip for it. Would you consider it?”

“Blue Blood Tulip?”

Sitting on his plush sofa in the Xuanwu Zhongshan Villa, Mu Bai was a bit taken aback by this message.

It wasn’t that a super-exquisite Blue Blood Tulip was unworthy of trading for a super-premium Purple Gold Peony.

After all, some rare and extraordinary flowers existed in this world.

The Blue Blood Tulip was one of them.

Tulips were among the most famous flowers in Europe. The Black Tulip, symbolizing chivalry, was once the most expensive variety.

Even an ordinary premium-grade Black Tulip could fetch millions.

Later, a mutated species, the Blue Blood Tulip, was discovered.

Its value skyrocketed, surpassing even the Black Tulip. At its peak, a super-exquisite Blue Blood Tulip had been sold for 40 to 50 million. Even after market fluctuations, its current price remained around 20 to 30 million.

So, exchanging a super-exquisite Blue Blood Tulip for a super-premium Purple Gold Peony was indeed possible.

However, what surprised Mu Bai was how this girl had access to such globally rare flowers.

Even for a trader, obtaining such exotic plants was no easy feat.

Unless she was part of a large trading alliance.

Just as he was about to ask, Kang Yun Yun’s next message revealed the answer.

Kang Yun Yun: “But you’ll have to wait four or five days. The monthly cross-border trade fair at the Lao Yue border is coming up. This month, there’s a super-exquisite Blue Blood Tulip available. Mr. Tycoon, why don’t you come to the trade fair too? I’m afraid I won’t have enough money to bid for it, hehe. I can be your host! If you’re happy with my hospitality, maybe you can give me a discount on the Purple Gold Peony?”

“Lao Yue Border Trade Fair?”

Mu Bai read her message and nodded slightly.

So, this was where she sourced her rare flowers—now it made sense.

After a brief consideration, he recalled that he currently had ten vacant planting slots in his mystical space.

Finding high-quality plants online was challenging.

So, if he had no pressing matters in the next few days, a trip to the Lao Yue border might be worthwhile.

With this thought in mind, he gave Kang Yun Yun a noncommittal response and ended their chat.

Afterward, Mu Bai didn’t waste time—he reached out to Mi Xuan to arrange another batch of sales for saffron, super-exquisite flowers, and other rare plants.

After all, whether it was for repaying underground loans, maintaining a tycoon lifestyle, or attending the Lao Yue trade fair, he would need substantial funds.

Securing more capital was a must.

But just as he opened his chat with Mi Xuan to discuss the sales, he found that she had already messaged him first.

And the contents of her message made him frown slightly.

He hadn’t expected that Zhenpin Tianwang Store, which had been thriving since its inception, was now facing a significant challenge…
