Chapter 104 - Fantasy Beast (1/2)

“A Bloodsoul Bead and Devil Bones?”

The young man was taken aback.

Those two types of food were better than Resentment Beads and Spirit Skeletons, and extremely rare in fact. It would be hard to locate those two kinds of food even at the famous stores in the upper town area. Did this small store really have them?

“Are you sure?” He looked Su Ping up and down with suspicion. When the young man moved his looks to the shelf behind Su Ping, his expression changed into one of shock.

“Of course.”

Su Ping turned around. He dug out the two items from a corner.

The young man stood there speechlessly in astonishment as he stared at the two bottles Su Ping took out. One of the bottles contained a blood-red bead which resembled an eyeball. In the other bottle, there were some bone pieces with some hair-like strands entangled at the edges.

Those were the Bloodsoul Bead and the Devil Bones.

“What…” The young man was at a loss for words. He couldn’t believe that this small store honestly had them.

Only advanced undead beings could forge the Bloodsoul Bead and the Devil Bones in their bodies. Those two items were precious. To obtain them, at least two advanced beasts of the undead family would have to be slaughtered.

“Do you want them?” Su Ping asked since the young man was still in a daze.

The young man came back to his senses. He noticed the price of the other items on the shelf, so, he asked, “How much?”

Su Ping answered, “The Bloodsoul Bead is 160,000 coins and the Devil Bones go for 180,000 coins.”

This came as another surprise to the young man. He didn’t think the price was too high. As a matter of fact, they were below the average market price. He was raising a pet of the undead family and was quite familiar with the food of this sort. On the market, usually, the Bloodsoul Bead would be sold at 200,000 at the very least. The price was 40,000 coins lower here.

Could it be that they were products of lower quality?

He thought about it and made a request, “Is it possible for you to open the bottle and let me take a look?”

Su Ping frowned. The bottle was specially made by the system and it could conceal the energy, which made it easier for long-term storage. When the bottle was opened, the energy would leak and the food would lose a bit of its properties.

That being said, he could tell that this customer was not in want of money and was sincere in making this purchase. After some thought, Su Ping agreed. “Sure. But be quick.” With that said, as the young man was ready, Su Ping opened the lid.

As soon as the lid was removed, a strong smell of blood wafted out. At the same time, the temperature in the shop plunged and there seemed to be a whisper of mystery. Su Ping closed the lid quickly.

The young man was stunned. That was a fleeting moment. However, he recognized right away that this Bloodsoul Bead was not of a low quality. Rather, it was the best of the best!

This wasn’t something that could be created inside an undead being of the seventh rank. It was highly likely that this Bloodsoul Bead came from an undead being of the ninth rank!

It would be acceptable to sell such a high quality item at three hundred thousand or four hundred thousand.

“Sir, is this… really just 160,000?” the young man couldn’t help but ask.

Given the look on this young man’s face, Su Ping could tell this man knew what he was talking about. Yet, the price could not be changed. Fortunately, he didn’t have to go through an ordeal to collect the Bloodsoul Beads. They were scattered around on the ground like garbage in the Chaotic Realm of the Undead. He could find them anywhere.

If it weren’t for the fact that his storage s.p.a.ce was not big enough, he would have collected more. Also, he did not expect that such a common item over there could be sold at such a high price.

Su Ping said, “You can pay me more money if you think the price is too cheap.”

The young man laughed in embarra.s.sment. Su Ping must be selling it at a cheap price on purpose. This was a good deal for him. Who could have thought that the items sold at this remote place in the lower town area were better and cheaper than in the upper town area? Was this because of the simple and unadorned nature of country folk?

Though the base city was surrounded by high walls and there was no distinction between urban and rural areas, the population inside the high walls were divided into different groups.

Most of the upper town districts in the central area of the base city were wealthy. Over time, the lower town area at the edge of the city became a rural area where the poor would gather; it was also a synonym for poverty.

It was the same in any base city.

“I will take them all. Thank you.”

The young man was quite polite to this person that he thought was unsophisticated. He could afford the food even if the price was several times higher considering his status. However, his money didn’t come by chance or anything else. He made his money by risking his life while exploring the uncultivated areas. Saving money was always better. “Okay.”

Su Ping nodded as a reply.

The two items gave Su Ping an income of 340,000 coins, i.e., 3400 energy points. Accounting the 7500 energy points he already had, he now possessed more than 10,000 energy points. He finally was able to upgrade the store to the second level.

He had thought that he would wait until the next day. Unexpectedly, he could reach the target right then.

“Are you the owner here, or the salesman?” The young man asked Su Ping for fear that he would be scolded if the salesman had given the wrong price.

“Owner.”

“Good…” The young man was relieved. At the same time, he was surprised that this person could run this store at such a young age. Didn’t he have to go to school?

All of a sudden, another question came to mind. Those two items could not be easily found. How did Su Ping get his goods when he was so young?

Su Ping had a general idea of what the young man was thinking about given the constant changes in the looks of his eyes. Yet, Su Ping was not in the mood to care about that. He asked, “Do you need anything else? For example, training or boarding service. You must understand that the services here are

good.”

The young man came back to his senses and he agreed to what Su Ping said at last. Out of curiosity, the young man put forward his question, “Do you offer training services here? Who is going to perform the training? You?”

Su Ping nodded, “Yes.”

The young man didn’t realize that Su Ping was also a trainer. Immediately, he stored away his casual att.i.tude and asked, “What trainer level are you at? Can you train advanced pets?”

“Advanced?” Su Ping shook his head. “Nope.”

He believed he could train advanced pets. However, he had not yet trained a pet of the middle-level with above-average apt.i.tude. The system had not unlocked the training service for advanced pets yet.
