He had originally intended to shout five thousand.
First of all, Tang San was not so dense that he couldn't tell You Chen was intentionally defusing the awkward atmosphere of the scene. Considering You Chen's animosity toward his teacher, this gesture was entirely for his benefit... Even though Tang San was extremely confident in the value of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, he felt rather embarrassed to ruthlessly fleece You Chen... You Chen hadn't even verified the power of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow before immediately and unconditionally offering to purchase a hundred pieces at once... This actually touched Tang San somewhat.
Nothing else could easily move Tang San, but when it came to hidden weapons, his threshold for being touched dropped drastically. You Chen was a scholar who studied martial soul theory and didn't usually seem to have any use for a Zhuge Divine Crossbow. Although he lived in a large mansion, it was said that studying martial souls required a substantial amount of capital, so it was hard to tell whether You Chen actually had money. Tang San had already calculated in his mind that if You Chen couldn't afford it, he could temporarily buy on credit for a while without issue.
