154 Market Price Change (1/2)

A very hilarious scene played out in Dengfeng County.

On a street where people could be seen hurrying up and down was an old man with a white beard. He held a white piece of cloth to serve as his sign. On it were the words [HALF IMMORTAL COMMENTS ON FATE]. He swayed his head to the left and right and walked in a languid and relaxed manner with a small crease between his eyebrows as he calculated something with his fingers. He seemed to be performing a divination on something.

There was a group of male and female martial artists walking closely behind the old man with the white beard. They were all dressed differently, but their expressions were solemn, and they followed behind him attentively. They did not dare to be negligent.

A few minutes passed, and the wrinkles between the old man's eyebrows became deeper. While he swayed his head, his strides became longer.

The group of people were instantly at a loss!

”What's going on?”

”Why is he taking such a long time this time?”

”Hey, are you done, Half-immortal Liu?”

They had followed behind him for a long time. When they saw that the old man did not give them an answer as he usually did, the people were finally unable to help themselves and began to grumble.

Some of the rash ones rushed forward and blocked the old man!

Half-immortal Liu then stopped with a troubled and hesitant look on his face. He looked at one of them and said slowly, ”Young swordsman, it's not that I am unwilling to tell you the details, but this person is surrounded by an evil aura; he is filled with evil and malice! If I reveal the secrets of the universe rashly, I will have a lot of karma added to me. Ah… it's simply not worth it.”

The group was instantly stunned speechless. They did not know why Half-immortal Liu would suddenly say that the person was filled with evil and that the secrets of the universe had even become involved, even though he had been fine just a moment ago.

”This money is not enough to resolve my karma. I do not have the courage to receive your money. I can only return it to you.”

Even though he said that, Half-immortal Liu's actions when he brought out the money were very reluctant. He was very unwilling to give up.

The group instantly saw his goals!

Being forbidden to reveal the secrets of the universe? He could just say that the money was not enough and that he wanted to increase the price!

The players who followed behind Half-immortal Liu gritted their teeth, but they could do nothing to the old man.

In the end, someone in the group asked in resignation, ”Just tell us what the market price is now.”

”Heh heh…” Half-immortal Liu smiled bashfully and extended two fingers.

”If you want the information regarding this person, you'll need to pay an additional one thousand taels of silver crumbs.”

”What the heck?!”

When the players in the area heard the words, their expressions changed, and they wanted to push Half-immortal Liu's head against the wall and punch him a few times.

”Could you not be so black-hearted?! How can it cost two thousand taels of silver crumbs just to find out his location?!”

Ten minutes ago, the market price had been one thousand taels of silver crumbs. Yet in a blink of an eye, it had doubled!. Could someone's market price inflate so quickly? That person was just a Blessed Realm player!

”The price is fair. I will not deceive anyone!” Half-immortal Liu's expression became stern. He stroked his beard and continued to walk down the street.

”Darn you!”

”You thief!”

The people did not give him the money immediately. Instead, they brought out a piece of paper and a messenger pigeon and wrote a message to their superiors telling them that the fee for the information regarding that person had doubled. After all, they did not know whether their superiors would agree to give them the money.

While on his way, Happy arrived in a small mountain village and bought a second-hand World of Martial Arts Secret News Log that was ridiculously expensive while he was at it. When he saw the descriptions of the few battles he had recently on the Famous People Rank, there was not a single emotion on his face. He slowly closed the book. It was as if everything was within his expectations. He only frowned slightly, and his expression became even more solemn.

His assumptions were right.

Some of the things in World of Martial Arts had changed slightly because of him, a butterfly who decided to fly about madly after he returned to the past. Fortunately, the changes were very minor.

Also, Wandering Know-it-all, who was a rich player that spent his money lavishly, had once again obtained a spirit vessel reward, which was something only spoken of later in the game. That item was known as Universe Secrets Inkstone, which allowed him to renew the ranks within a very short period of time.

It was also through that Universe Secrets Inkstone that Wandering Know-it-all obtained the abilities of a true diviner. He could perform divination on his own and find out all that a person had done during a certain period of time or what happened in a particular region, but he would not be able to find out about the things that happened in special regions.
