Chapter 362 – Selling A Snake’s Gallbladder (2/2)

Lei Yu sat up and pretended to rub his eyes like he had just woken up. He then grabbed a water bag belonging to Zhou Jun Sheng and washed up a bit. The two then continued their journey towards Silicon Town.

The scene at the base of the mountain gradually greeted Lei Yu’s eyes. He finally realized that this town was truly not large at all; it was half the size of the typical towns he was used to. But perhaps it was their location at the base of a mountain that it was especially lively in there. There were many people trying to sell their mountain specialties and other strange things that piqued Lei Yu’s curiosity.

“We’re here; it’s just right up front.” Zhou Jun Sheng pointed at the especially lively main street. This place had a lot of people crying out their wares, and there were even some government officials and nobles walking around hoping to find some unique things for their collections.

“So this is Silicon Town?” Lei Yu asked.

“That’s right brother, you can casually find someone to inquire on how to get to your final destination. I have to take these furs to the market area to sell.” Zhou Jun Sheng smiled as he shifted the furs he was carrying on his back.

Lei Yu almost couldn’t bear seeing Zhou Jun Sheng’s tired looking face. He didn’t get any sleep last night and today, he had to try his best to sell all his fur before hurrying home. This guy’s life was truly difficult.

“You take care of your things here while I’ll go elsewhere to ask around. I’ll come look for you later on.” Lei Yu waved his hand and started towards the inner depths of the market.

Lei Yu noticed many stalls selling common fruits such as pears and dates etc. There were also some stalls that sold things like unique decorative items, handmade clay figurines, and pendants one would wear on their waists.

Lei Yu didn’t have any money this world used so he could only look but unable to buy. Since he was penniless, there was a saying about: When in Rome, do as the Romans. Lei Yu proceeded to pull out a huge snake’s gallbladder from his Universal Pouch. It was the size of a typical human’s head so he just held it out in his hands while standing at empty spot next to another stall.

“Come on over! Take a look! Take a look at this thousand year old snake gallbladder!” Lei Yu imitated the words of those old wuxia movies he had watched in the past.

Lei Yu’s words attracted a group of onlookers as they moved closer to take a look.

A snake’s gallbladder was a common item that woodcutters and fishermen could easily get their hands on. But a thousand year old snake’s gallbladder was unheard of which made a large amount of people come over just to check out this unique item.

A fat middle-aged man with a full beard stepped forward, “Little brother, is that really a thousand year old snake’s gallbladder?”

“Of course! My snake’s gallbladder is like a great medicine; it can be steeped into medicinal liquor that’s able to refresh one’s mind, get rid of illnesses, and even avert disasters!” Lei Yu couldn’t even remember where he learned this set of words.

“Are you for real? Don’t think you can pull a fast one over our eyes here!” The middle-aged man looked around at the surrounding people and started a commotion in the crowd.

“Could it be that you dug up some insect shit from somewhere and wrapped it up to cheat our money?”

“That’s right! I bet you that’s what’s going on!”

Lei Yu knew what was going on; they were trying to make up stuff to lower the value of the snake’s gallbladder. That way, anyone that manages to get it will be picking up a treasure for cheap.

People with knowledge in this area would be able to notice its uniqueness with a glance. The snake’s gallbladder was green and still had a slight fishy smell. Although it had dried up already, retaining its color and smell would mean it was definitely a superior grade item.

“If you don’t believe it, you can give it a try.” Lei Yu unhurriedly said.
