Chapter 68 Reality Issues

  Shuiling stood up from the chair, walked to Yechen's side, picked up a third-grade inner dan and took a look, then casually glanced at other things on the table.

  "They're all second and third-rate demon beasts' stuff, not worth much wandering coins. Well, I'll give you 5,000 wandering coins, will you help me with something?" Shuiling's big, bright eyes stared tightly at Ye Chen.

  "Don't bother helping us with anything, we're just selling goods, if you don't want to buy then we'll go to another store." Ye Chen said calmly, in this unfamiliar place, it's best not to agree to do things for others.

  "If it doesn't work, these things are only worth three thousand five wandering coins." Shuiling put down the inner elixir and sat back in her chair, smiling and saying so, with a completely carefree attitude.

  "Come on, you're blackmailing us." Chen Tao said angrily.

  "Hehe, if you think it's blackmail, then go ahead and go to another store." Shuiling said indifferently while sitting on the chair.

  "Alright, 3,500 is 3,500." Ye Chen interrupted Chen Tao's words that were meant to continue the argument, nodding in agreement.

  Shuiling was somewhat surprised, having lost 1,500 Flowing Coins in one go. The other party seemed to be completely unbothered.

  Shuiling'er smiled slightly, "Hehe, unexpectedly 5,000 won't do, want 3,500, okay, since you don't want to help then forget it." She stood up and took out 3,500 jade coins from the safe in the wall and handed them to Ye Chen.

  "Now, this is 3500 yuan, think about it again, whether or not you want to help out, it's an easy task."

  "It's okay, thank you." Ye Chen took the Flowing Coin handed over by Water Spirit.

  "Let's go!" Ye Chen didn't want to stay here any longer, or he might be tricked by this clever girl into helping her. He said to Chen Tao and turned around to leave.

  "En." Chen Tao gave Shuiling a fierce stare before following Ye Chen out of the room.

  Shuiling's big eyes were wide open, she didn't expect him to be so decisive, but Shuiling also didn't try to retain Ye Chen.

  The two walked out of the inner room and came to the outer hall, where a girl called Xiaowei was still patiently explaining, saw the two come out and smiled slightly, as if nodding.

  Ye Chen and Chen Tao were expressionless. Whoever was slaughtered for a while would not have a good mood, although I don't know how other shops buy it, but 3,500 is absolutely not too much.

  "How much does this elixir sell for?" Chen Tao didn't want to leave just like that, even if he was being ripped off, he still wanted to know how much he was being ripped off by, no matter whether he was going to make a fuss or not, at least in his heart he would have an idea, otherwise Chen Tao wouldn't be able to rest easy.

  "Hehe, if you buy it, I'll give you a discount, 300 silver coins." Shuiling'er replied with a smile from the inner room.

  "Damn, you buy for a hundred and sell for three hundred? A threefold price difference? Not even killing someone would be done like this?" Chen Tao was furious, shouting loudly. The other people in the store also turned their heads to look over.

  "Heh heh, not satisfied? What's the point of making a scene?" Shuiling'er said with a smile, unperturbed by Chen Tao's anger.

  "You..." Chen Tao pointed at Shuiling'er, wanting to blame her, but before he could say anything, he was pulled out by Ye Chen.

  "Hey, Dust, why did you pull me? This little girl actually deceived Grandpa. Let Grandpa teach her a lesson." Chen Tao said discontentedly as they walked out of the store.

  "You want to see the Buddha, look at the eyes of those people in that shop. They've encountered this kind of thing many times, if they could be taught a lesson, this shop would have closed down long ago." Ye Chen let out a low voice and said to Chen Tao.

  Chen Tao still trusts Ye Chen very much, and he basically listens to what Ye Chen says, even though Chen Tao is now extremely angry.

  Listening to Ye Chen's words, and looking at the people in the store who were staring at him with a playful expression, Chen Tao felt like a clown, becoming even more angry, but he didn't impulsively go in to find justice.

  "Let's go." Ye Chen didn't say much more, pulling Chen Tao away.

  Watching the two leaving, Shuiling'er seemed to be lost in thought, but soon she smiled lightly and moved to the counter, lazily leaning on it with her big bright eyes watching people coming and going. If interested, she would greet them personally; if not, she wouldn't bother.

  Xiao Wei looked at her own family's young lady with a lazy attitude, and she was really helpless, but still smiled and introduced the purpose of the goods to the guests.

  Ye Chen and Chen Tao came out of the small shop and looked around. They had only heard of the Wandering City, but didn't know what it was like. Now that they were finally here, they wanted to understand it better.

  It was daytime, and the two of them were not in a hurry to find a place to stay, so they casually strolled through the city. The spacious main streets were filled with people coming and going, each carrying their own unique martial skills. Many different types of weapons could be seen here, including swords, knives, spears, staffs, and halberds...

  If it's a Star City, then basically all the weapons used are those that can be seen in the main city. If the main city is Sword City, then the surrounding Star Cities will mostly use swords, with few exceptions.

  Various tall buildings stood on both sides, some selling weapons, some selling books, and some selling spiritual medicine. Ye Chen and Chen Tao's eyes were dazzled by the sights.

  Two people entered a store selling spiritual medicine, the lowest grade of Golden Wound Medicine was priced at one hundred Wanderer Coins, while the Qingling Dan and Chenmu Dan obtained from Qin Mu and Su Hao were actually priced at five thousand Wanderer Coins, which caused Ye Chen and Chen Tao to escape on the spot.

  It's worth 5,000 but the selling price is only half of that. This made it unacceptable for both of them. Even in the wilderness, this elixir was indispensable for survival. The journey ahead would be shortened by a lot thanks to Qingling Dan, reducing healing time. This was a lifesaving elixir, and Ye Chen and Chen Tao couldn't bear to sell it.

  The two of them had 350 yuan on them, which was really not enough. They found an inn and ate a meal, asking about the price of lodging.

  Nowadays people are fond of retro style, so the tavern and lodging are together, 500 wandering coins can get a night's stay, making Ye Chen and Chen Tao feel their financial strain again.

  "Dust boy, I should have said at the time that it wasn't right to just leave like that. So many third-grade inner elixirs, at least 5,000 or more, and those precious materials." Chen Tao thought of that little girl's "what can you do about it" expression and felt suffocated.

  "Alright, you're not unclear about the situation at that time. Here, we're in unfamiliar territory and this place advocates for solving everything with force. Do you think our abilities are enough to be taken seriously?" Ye Chen explained.

  "I also know that our strength is nothing to brag about, but I just can't swallow this insult. That little girl's behavior was really detestable." Chen Tao said with a somewhat worried expression, rubbing his bald head.

  "Haha, we're new here and not familiar with everything, let's endure for a few days first and see how things go. Some things can't be done impulsively, we need to consider the consequences." Ye Chen said.

  "Alas, I know all these. First of all, we need to have money. Those few coins are only enough for a few days' use. If we want to buy things on the road, our money is far from enough." Chen Tao said.

  This is a very realistic problem, Ye Chen fell silent for a moment, wondering what method to make money.
