1140 Fishing (2/2)
”I'll buy it, but one gold punk is seriously too expensive!” The young man tried to bargain.
This feeling of blood connection made him reluctant to give it up.
”No way! I'm a businessman, and a businessman must stand by the marked price!” Fang Yuan shook his head.
”Then… can you reserve it for me for a while?” the young man asked.
”No problem!” Fang Yuan agreed happily this time. ”Your name?”
”Simon! My name is Simon!” the young man hurriedly replied, realizing he had yet to introduce himself.
”All right, Mr. Simon, I will give you seven days to raise the money. If you come back within seven days, you can bring this away with one gold punk. But after seven days, I can't guarantee anything…”
Fang Yuan placed Voodoo Rituals back on the shelf and showed him to the door.
”All right!” Simon left the store reluctantly, and his heart was brimming with a strange feeling. ”That book… just what was going on?”
Suddenly, he was shocked to find that he could not forget the page that he read from the book. It seemed to be imprinted deeply into his brain.
Morigu looked at Simon's back and said to Fang Yuan, ”Mister, I saw something bad in his eyes. I doubt he will fulfill his promise faithfully! If he comes back at night, can I dispose of him?”
”Dispose of him? Why?” Fang Yuan revealed a mysterious smile. ”Since his desire for the occult is so strong, it's only right for me to fulfill his wish…”
In reality, the so-called Voodoo Rituals was basically something he had fabricated.
However, although the book was fake, the incantations and rituals in it were real and extremely effective.
Simon was undoubtedly someone with a decent aptitude.
At the thought of this, he felt even more delighted as he sat back in his chair and enjoyed his hot cocoa.
Beside the cake, there was a shrunken version of the Book of Flesh. The large eye on the cover seemed to blink once.
”Very good. Omar indeed has some followers in this world…” Fang Yuan smiled. ”Because of the Book of Flesh's attraction, they will draw closer to Kimbert City. The future is bound to be very interesting…”
”I don't understand! Mister, they're merely some followers that I'm willing to dispose of for you!” Morigu was puzzled. To her, those bastards were definitely not worthy enough for her almighty master to act!
An adult Uyguklai was considered extremely powerful among all the followers of the Outer Gods. As long as they did not meet a genuine progeny of an Outer God like that Eye of Darkness, they could easily run amuck on a planet.
But for some reason, her master continued to watch more darkness invading Kimbert City and yet chose to do nothing.
”Morigu, ah… In the future, besides doing housework, you have to learn how to fish!” Fang Yuan said meaningfully, ”You have to learn how to enjoy the fun of fishing!”
…
In just an afternoon, Fang Yuan welcomed many more customers.
The majority of them were either scared off by the strange items or the high prices, but a few cautiously purchased some items, all of which were casually made by Fang Yuan.
Even though they were small items, they suited the customers' individualistic natures, so they were incredibly appealing.
At night, a blonde, freckled youngster entered the store.
”Welcome, Little Mister!” Fang Yuan smiled in welcome. ”This is our second meeting!”
”Second?” the freckled youngster asked doubtfully.
”The first time we met was during the morning exhibition. Are you very interested in Vincent?” Fang Yuan stared excitedly at this fellow that was reluctantly considered a big fish. Fang Yuan could clearly sense a trace of destiny on him. ”You can call me Andy!”
”I-I am Nietzsche!” The blonde boy bowed slightly awkwardly. ”I'm very pleased to meet you again. I am quite interested in those legendary mysteries, and people around me have been saying that your store has some really… eccentric items!”
Nietzsche was not that shameless. When he said the last words, his face turned slightly red.
”They are indeed eccentric to ordinary people!” Fang Yuan continued in a mysterious tone, ”So… are you ready to step into the extraordinary world?”
”What? Extraordinaries really exist?” Nietzsche's eyes lit up like when he saw Vincent earlier.
”Of course… Otherwise, where do you think my items came from?”
Fang Yuan lifted a glass jar with a dried-up purple human hand. ”Kappa Hand! Legend has it that it brings bad luck!
”A mysterious amulet from the Yellow Continent! It is said that igniting it will produce a bizarre energy!
”And this is a local product, the Sun Protective Talisman. I like the very unique design of the sun! Even if it doesn't have any extraordinary power, it's still a work of art…” At the end, he was holding a golden figure. ”This only cost five gold punks! It can't get any cheaper than this!”
”Oh… I can't afford a single item here!” Nietzsche grinned as he emptied his pockets only to reveal a few pathetic coppers.
”Okay…” Fang Yuan sighed disappointingly as he placed the items back. After pondering for a bit, he picked up a small bottle. ”Kid, your sincerity has touched me. I believe this is most suitable for you… Spirit Awakening Water! It's a potion concocted by a wizard. Using it to wash your eyes gives you a certain probability of becoming able to see extraordinary things!”
”Thank you, Mister!” Nietzsche gratefully reached into his pockets and handed everything he had over to Fang Yuan before leaving with the bottle.
Fang Yuan tossed the coppers into the loose change cabinet. ”Morigu, remember to add some more plain water…”
