Chapter 169: Acquiring A Cubic Meter Of Space (1/2)
”Woah! T-Those are real!?”
The store clerk stared at the paper bills inside Lawrend's wallet in disbelief.
”Why would I show you fake ones?” Lawrend retorted.
”C-Can I inspect one?” the store clerk asked nervously.
”Okay.”
Lawrend nodded his head.
”Amazing! It's a real one!” the store clerk exclaimed as he raised a 10,000 gold paper bill in the air from Lawrend's wallet.
”W-What?! You have that much money?” Nuon exclaimed in shock.
As for Logan, he was speechless. After all, you have to be really rich to have that much money.
”Mm. My father is quite rich. Some of them are mine, though,” Lawrend nodded his head and explained to them.
”Follow me, great customer! I'll bring you to see the ring.”
The store clerk pulled Lawrend with him excitedly.
Lawrend allowed himself to be pulled off. Nuon and Logan followed behind them nervously.
They entered the door at the back of the store and entered a dimly lit room. There were countless shelves filled with folded clothes on them.
”Please wait a moment. I will call the manager,” the store clerk said to them before he entered deeper inside the room.
A few moments later, he returned with a tall man with a fancy mustache.
”You want the Storage Ring?”
The tall man asked Lawrend with a doubtful look in his eyes.
”Are you the manager?” Lawrend asked him.
”Tell me, what is a True Mage doing buying a Storage Ring?”
Instead of answering, the tall man asked Lawrend his own question. He noticed the True Mage pin on Lawrend's cloak.
It wasn't mentioned, but the Mage Pin had a feature to automatically update the information displayed on the pin.
”I have the money,” Lawrend said to him before he passed 5 10,000 gold paper bills to him.
”Hm?”
The tall man raised an eyebrow seeing the money. He grabbed it and inspected each carefully.
”Hello, dear customer. Forgive my earlier attitude. I am the manager of this Hurry Valley branch,” the tall man suddenly introduced himself with an amiable smile on his face.
”...”
Lawrend was speechless. He had never seen someone switch their attitude so fast even in his previous life.
”Come, come. I'll show you the Storage Ring,” the manager urged Lawrend while the paper bills were firmly held in his hand.
”...”
Both Nuon and Logan were shocked at the scene. They have never seen someone so shameless.
Lawrend and the rest followed the manager deeper inside. They encountered swordsmen guarding the room every now and then.
Lawrend was surprised that this building had such a large room behind it. It should be called a warehouse now.
Before long, they reached the end. There was a table with drawers under it.
”This,” the manager said.
He opened one of the drawers and pulled out a small ring box.
”See for yourself,” the manager said to him and passed the ring box.
Lawrend took the box carefully. The box was covered with an unknown monster's skin. It was soft and comfortable in the hand.
He opened it, and there was a blue gem ring inside it.
