Chapter 417 - Chapter 417: Chapter 417 Buying a Map (2/2)
“Maps for sale! Maps covering a six-hundred-mile radius!”
A shout suddenly came from a small stall not too far away, and Chen Yu’s interest was immediately piqued.
The area within several hundred miles was all desert, with numerous subterranean rivers and quicksand.
Just figuring out the terrain was a challenge, so having a map would be quite helpful.
Without giving it much thought, he made a beeline for the stall.
The vendor was a boy of about ten, who became excited when he saw Chen Yu approaching.
“Sir, buy a map, just for a hundred thousand.”
Jin Lingsu immediately showed her dissatisfaction, “Are you trying to rob us, kid?”
But Chen Yu didn’t say anything more. He simply pulled out a banknote worth a hundred thousand and tossed it onto the stall, then picked up a map.
In such extreme conditions, two things were most valuable: one was water and food, the other was a map.
No matter how high the price for these items, there would always be buyers.
The boy immediately beamed with joy, selecting a relatively complete map to hand over.
Chen Yu unfolded the map and found that the depicted terrain and landmarks were very detailed, marking nearly all the significant buildings nearby, including the Muda ancient city.
This was far more detailed than any map they had obtained before.
“Sir, when you buy a map, we also have some bonuses.”
With that shout, the boy took out a big bunch of metal keys and stuffed them over.
These were the same keys Snow had brought out earlier, even the material was identical.
Chen Yu’s eyes widened; he hadn’t expected these items to be given away for free here.
Among the items the boy gifted were also several jade pendants emitting a pale blue glow.
They seemed to be intended for use in combination with the keys.
“Are these items common around here?” Chen Yu asked subconsciously.
The boy shook his head, “Not many, even my little stall only has a few copies.”
Chen Yu gaped. If that was the case, selling them for a hundred thousand seemed too cheap.
Just as he was about to ask for more details, two burly men approached the stall.
“Kid, give me a map.”
The two brutes were big and strong-looking, with intimidating scars on their faces that would have scared anyone half to death, but the boy stood his ground, staring them down with a resolute gaze.
“Five hundred thousand!”
Hearing the price, the two men flew into a rage. One of them lifted his machete to the boy’s neck.
“Kid, I came to buy a map, doing you a favor and you still have the nerve to ask for money? Looks like you’re tired of living, tired of living indeed. Today I’ll let you taste what it’s like to have your head chopped off.”
As his words fell, he raised the machete.
