20 Old Tang (1/2)

Seeing Tang Chen's (the shop keeper) strange gaze, his old friend hurriedly explained. ”Everyday, this young man comes into my dream and steals my grand daughter away! You think I want to see those nightmares everyday?!”

”Oh! Then you better guard your granddaughter well! This guy does look like someone who would abduct girls!” Tang Chen hurriedly warned his friend.

”...”

Hei Wang coughed lightly to grab their attention. ”Old man! Is this how your treat your first customer?”

”Oh!” Tang Chen smiled at Hei Wang and asked. ”What do you want from this old man?”

Hei Wang did not reply immediately, instead, he took a quick walk around the small shop and stopped before a bunch of blue crystals.

”I want these God Crystals!”

”Oh! You know about God Crystals? I thought that people of this plane do not know anything about the Gods, much less the God Crystals. Anyway, I can sell it to you, but my price is a bit too high!” Tang Chen, the old shopkeeper raised his eyes and took a second glance at this human. This human was not simple.

Tang Chen was a 5th generation life form that should not have existed in the Spirit World just like the Devils, but due to some strange circumstances, he was forced to live here.

Even Hei Wang did not know Tang Chen's complete story. To Hei Wang, Tang Chen was a rip-off shopkeeper. No matter how big Tang Chen's background was, no matter how much of a trouble Tang Chen was in, Hei Wang did not give a damn about this old man.

But the same could not be said to the other old man in the shop. His grand daughter and Hei Wang shared a special relation after all.

But was he ready to face her once more? Could he forgive her for what she had done? Could he save her this time? Hei Wang was not sure.

”Ten Rare Crystals for one God crystal. Take it, or leave!” Tang Chen's offer brought Hei Wang out of his thoughts.

The price of 10 Rare Crystals did not scare Hei Wang. After all, the spirit who had sold the God Crystal back at the Spirit island did not know the true value of this crystal, where as Tang Chen, this old fox knew its exact value. Also, Tang Chen knew how important this crystal was to Hei Wang due to 5th generation life-form's unique power to dream about the future.

Tang Chen must have dreamed about how valuable this crystal was to Hei Wang and that was the reason that he raised the price of the God crystal to twice the actual amount.

Hei Wang seemed to have no intentions to bargain. He took out the only rare crystal he had plundered back from the previous shop keeper and placed it down. He then took a storage bracelet out and placed it beside the Rare crystal.

”These two, for ten God Crystals!” Hei Wang calmly stated.

”Haha! Young man, you don't seem to understand! If I said 10 Rare Crystals, then it is ten rare crystals! Not a penny less! What a shame! I didn't think that my first customer would be this poor!” Tang Chen knew the actual value of the God crystals to Hei Wang and was hellbent on maintaining the price.

Hei Wang chuckled in response. ”Why don't you take a look inside the bracelet!”

”Nonsense! God crystals have very high dimensional values. A storage bracelet could not carry them.” Even though he said that, Tang Chen still took a look inside the bracelet.
