Chapter 51: Buying Rice (1/2)
After the two of them were already quite far, Lin Yun spoke out, ”Brother, they're laughing at us.”
”Don't worry, they won't be able to do that for long.” Lin Xiao waved his hand with confidence. In this world, everyone respected those who were strong. All they needed to do was to train and train again so that no one would be able to look down on them anymore.
”We're going to be much stronger than them.”
”Yes!”
”By the way, do you bring some money?” Lin Xiao checked his pocket. There were more than enough money for them to buy some rice, but he needed to keep some too in case of emergency.
Lin Yun shook his head. ”You're the one who's holding all the money, Brother.”
Lin Xiao: ”…” I completely forgot.
Checking the money again, Lin Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he hadn't wasted the money that he got from Shopkeeper Wang from the deadly testing back then. He was worrying for a moment that he had wasted the money.
The two of them headed to Shopkeeper Wang's shop and noticed the old man was sweeping the ground.
”Old Wang, I want to buy some rice,” Lin Xiao greeted from a distance.
Shopkeeper Wang raised his head. He arched his eyebrows when he saw Lin Xiao. ”You're here, Little Rascal. I thought that you have already forgotten about me ever since you take the hunting squad test.”
”Ah? I didn't pass the test.”
”I know, I know, Su Han told the story to everyone.”
Lin Xiao's eyes turned cold, but it quickly turned back to normal. He had learned how to mask his real feelings, though most of the time, he chose to act according to his heart's desire without caring for anything.
”The rice, Old Wang.”
”Here. 1 silver.”
Counting the weight, Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction. Shopkeeper Wang always gave them the same amount for 1 silver. It was usually more than enough for two people to eat for 3 months.
The only problem was to bring it back.
Shopkeeper Wang grinned when he saw Lin Xiao's gaze. ”Do you want to borrow a cart again? Just adding 10 coppers are enough.”
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes. As he had though, Shopkeeper Wang was truly someone who was greedy for money.
”Not this time, Old Wang.”
Moving to the front, Lin Xiao grabbed the large sack with his right hand and lifted it up. Afterwards, he took the second sack and brought it up with his left hand. In the past, he would never be able to do this, but now he felt that the sack was not that heavy.
Shopkeeper Wang narrowed his eyes when he saw how easy it was for Lin Xiao to lift the sack.
”Are you already halfway to Body Training Rank 7, Lin Xiao?”
”Ah? I think so?” Lin Xiao tilted his head. When he advanced to Body Training rank 6 not long ago, he was also focusing on his bone. That way, he had already started to make his way to enter Body Training Rank 7.
