"Dong dong dong!"

"Master, master, I'm hungry!"

After a few people left, Xiao Laya slapped the pocket around Chen Yao's waist dissatisfied.

"I'm hungry too, but we have no money..."

Considering the people coming and going on the street, talking to oneself might seem a little weird, so Chen Yao could only respond in his heart.

"No matter! No matter! You said yesterday that you would take me to eat delicious food! Huhuhu!"

Chen Yao could already imagine the scene of little Raya rolling around in her pocket...

"Okay...I'll think of a way."

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

A rhythmic sound of gold and iron came from the side. Chen Yao got closer and found that it was a blacksmith shop with some messages posted on the wall.

"Acquisition of various minerals and metal products in large quantities..."

Oops, just in time.

"Uncle, do you collect metal equipment?"

Chen Yao asked the short blacksmith at the entrance of the shop who was sweating profusely and picking up a cup and taking a sip from time to time.

"You're a stranger, you're not from the town, are you? What do you want to sell? Take it out and have a look!"

The blacksmith in front of him did not look like a normal human being. In addition to being less than half the height of a normal human being and having arms twice as thick as a normal human being, he also had a distinctive red beard on his chin that reached to his chest. The strong smell of alcohol almost made Chen Yao faint.

"It's all here..."

Chen Yao randomly piled four sets of Goblin's tattered equipment on the ground, and then pulled out a short sword and a hammer from the binding ring. After all, these would not be used much in the future.

"A pile of junk... I thought it was some big business, gurgling..."

The dwarf blacksmith took a swig of strong wine and muttered dissatisfiedly.

"You can sell this..."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Yao quickly revealed the ring on his finger and flicked it twice seemingly casually. A golden light flashed and then disappeared.

"Uncle, I haven't eaten anything all day. Do you think you can add a little more?"

"Ah...oh, okay, that set of goblin equipment is worth twenty copper ties, four sets are eighty copper ties, two broken weapons and one ten tie coppers, which adds up to exactly one silver tie, which is enough for you. After a few meals, these rags can’t be sold for so much!”

The dwarf uncle scratched his bare head.

"Thank you so much."

"Take it, you're welcome. My name is Hong Xu, and I'm the owner of this blacksmith shop. If you have any unnecessary metal products in the future, you can come to me to recycle them. I'll also give you a discount on repairing equipment. Okay, okay, hurry up and leave if you have nothing to do. .”

Hongxu threw out a shiny silver-bound coin, then waved his hand to chase away the people.

"Okay, I'll buy you a drink if I get the chance."

"Hey! Young man, don't tell the dwarves that you want to treat them to drinks in the future. You have to use a bucket to treat dwarves to drinks! One bucket per person! Remember~"

Hong Xiu leaned out half of his body, with an inexplicable smile on his rough face.

"remember."

After leaving Hongxu's blacksmith shop, Chen Yao continued to wander towards the restricted area.

"Candied haws on a stick~sweet and crispy~two skewers of copper, one skewer, five skewers of copper and three~"

A hawker with a round figure wearing a bamboo hat was shouting on the street while holding a bamboo pole. The top of the bamboo pole was wrapped with a layer of straw, and the straw was covered with bright skewers.

"Hello, give me a bunch of uh...candied haws."

Chen Yao handed out the silver coin and stood closer, only to see clearly the appearance of the vendor in front of him. He was covered in hair, black and white, with short and thick fingers. The most distinctive thing was his head, with two big black The eye circles look... a little cute.

"Okay, your Chuan'er, wait a moment, I'll give you change."

After a while, the vendor took out nine neatly wrapped copper coins from the ring, and then counted out eight more coins individually. Chen Yao put them away and took the candied haws.

"Well, I'd like to take the liberty to ask you, what race are you, mainly because I'm a little curious..."

"Oh, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I am a panda and belong to the orc tribe."

"It's really strange. The orcs and half-orcs have existed on this planet for hundreds of years. How come there are still people who don't know about it..."

The pandaren trader waved his palms to show that he didn't care, but there was some confusion on his face.

"I'm from a very remote place and this is my first time in town, so..."

"I see."

"Then I'll take my leave now."

"Go, young man, and may the light of the shamanic god shine upon you."

As he spoke, the vendor in front of him suddenly spread his body, stretched his arms to the sky, and said something Chen Yao couldn't understand.

In Chen Yao's eyes, this action was a bit exaggerated, but no one around him behaved abnormally. He must have been used to it, so he could only smile and nod, then turned and walked away.

While walking, I took a bite of the candied haws. Well...it was sour and sweet, and it tasted good, but Chen Yao just didn't think it suited him.

"Knock knock..."

Chen Yao knocked on his pocket, then opened it and put the candied haws skewers inside.

"Wow! It's delicious! Mmmmm~"

"I've finished eating! I want more!"

"No more...just bought a bunch."

"No, no, no, I have to!"

"We'll talk about it later..."

Chen Yao ate all the street stalls along the way, such as sesame cakes, meatballs, candy figures, rice cakes, etc...

There were also some orc traders selling strange things, such as physalis grass sold by the rabbit people and various insects sold by the bird people, but he did not dare to try them.

Relying on the ring on his hand, he shamelessly negotiated the price. After spending fifty copper coins, he really couldn't eat anymore...

“Master, master, I’ve eaten up all the delicious food~ I want more~”

"No more! Just stay here!"

"Ugh...okay..."

Most vendors set up their stalls in open spaces on the streets, but there are always exceptions.

The entrance of a quaint-looking shop was crowded with various vendors, and there was an endless flow of business. This scene seemed a bit eye-catching.

"Ah, I forgot to bring them some food..."

Chen Yao stepped forward and passed through all the obstacles, bought a lot of messy snacks, and also spent all the copper coins.

However, during this process, he always felt a little uncomfortable... looking towards the source of this feeling, he saw an old man lying on an easy chair at the door of the store, staring at Chen Yao with a smile.

Seeing that he noticed him, the old man smiled and waved, and Chen Yao stepped forward with some uncertainty.

"Old man, did you call me?"

"Yes, I would like to invite you to come to my store and have a look. I have everything here."

"Oh, by the way, my name is Liu Xinglong. If you don't mind, you can call me Lao Liu. What do you call me, little friend?"

"Chen Yao."

"Very well, little friend Chen Yao, come in and take a look. My Xinglong Shop is quite famous among the Morning Star forces!"

The old man stood up and walked into the shop. Chen Yao hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to follow him.

"Just take a look, these products all have names, just pick a few if you like them?"

Entering the shop, the first thing he smelled was a strange aroma. Chen Yao felt that he felt much calmer.

"Old... er... Old Liu, what is this fragrance?"

"Anshen incense, a magical incense made from spices. I got it from Mingding Temple. One stick only costs ten bundles of silver. How about it? Do you want some?"

"Well, let's take a look again. Speaking of Lao Liu, this..."

"You see, you and I are destined, why don't we give you a discount or something..."

The old man turned to look at Chen Yao. As he spoke, he turned the ring on his hand, and a golden light quickly penetrated Liu Xinglong's eyebrows.

Chen Yao looked at the old man with a somewhat confident look, but the old man's eyes were fixed on the ring on his hand, catching the flash of golden light, and the brilliance in the old man's eyes became a little brighter, how could he be affected at all? look.

What happened... Chen Yao suddenly felt bad.

"Haha, interesting, really interesting!"

"Wha...what's interesting?"

"Little friend Chenyao, you might as well make a deal with me and sell the ring you are wearing to me. I will give you a hundred gold bonds... No, the price is up to you! In addition, in addition to the money in this shop You can also choose something at will, how about it?"

Chen Yao was so shocked that he broke into cold sweat. Why did this old man discover the secret of the ring? ?

"You are joking, my ring is just an ordinary ring."

"Haha, if that's the case, my little friend shouldn't refuse."

"He has a special thing for me..."

Chen Yao tried to argue, but was immediately interrupted by Liu Xinglong.

"Chen Yao, do you know why I allow these vendors to do business at my door?"

Liu Xinglong turned to look outside the door. The business of each stall was extremely hot. In comparison, the business of Xinglong Store seemed a bit deserted. Yes, why?

"Because this is my hobby. Old man, I like to observe these various people, as well as their behaviors, words, and personalities. For me, this is also an improvement."

"I'm a businessman, not to mention..."

Liu Xinglong turned his head again and faced Chen Yao.

"Haha, old man, I am not deaf or blind. Although I am already fifty-six years old, I know everything you just said and all your actions."

"You can use some lame reasons to make every vendor willingly give up the price. This is unreasonable. Anyone who can do business at my door, Liu Xinglong, will never be a fool."

After Liu Xinglong finished speaking, he looked at Chen Yao with his torch-like eyes. Obviously, he had nothing to say.

"Ahem, okay, you discovered it. This ring is indeed somewhat strange, but I still say that I won't sell it."

"I have expected it. I knew from the beginning that you would not sell it to me, so in fact, my real purpose is just to observe and learn. Isn't it free?"

"Hey, you're so polite, I just took a look, just..."

"If you lend me the ring to look at for a few minutes, and then answer a few questions, you can choose one of these two treasures."

"oh?"

Chen Yao abruptly stopped the polite words on his lips.

Liu Xinglong went around the counter, took out two exquisite carved mahogany boxes from under the counter, and then opened them one after another.

"Look, this first treasure is called the Wind-Resisting Bead. When you carry this item on your body, it can reduce most of the impact when falling from a high place. It can be effective three times a day."

The old man picked up a green translucent bead the size of a finger and looked carefully. There were actually three strands of green aura circulating inside the bead.

Putting down the Wind-fixing Bead, Liu Xinglong picked up another bead.

"This second treasure is called the water-dwelling bead. If you put this object into your mouth, you can continue to breathe underwater for up to one hour. After each use, it must be placed in a place with good air circulation for more than one hour. .”

The inside of the second bead looks foggy white.

Chen Yao was a little confused. For him, it was really difficult to choose between these two treasures.

"Old Liu, can you give me both beads?"

"Of course not, these two beads are not cheap."

"How much does this cost?"

Chen Yao pointed at the Wind-Resisting Bead.

"Hmm... One hundred gold coins, oh, I forgot, I'll give you a discount, how about seventy gold coins? It's already a very sincere price."

This old man...

"Forget it...I choose Qi Shuizhu."

"Oh, it's such a pity that even princes and lords who come here can't enjoy this discount."

Liu Xinglong put the two beads into the box, handed the Qishui Bead to Chen Yao, and put the other one away.

Chen Yao put away the wooden box, then took off the ring on his hand and handed it to the old man.

"Let's go in and talk."
