Chapter 79 Strange Black Stone

Lin Chenben didn't know anything about the situation in Fang City, but the conditions proposed by the little boy in front of him were an urgent solution.

"Isn't it said that only practitioners can enter this North City? Why are there so many mortals here?" This is my first question.

The little boy replied fluently without thinking: "My guest does not know that most of the shopkeepers in Bei City are mortals, and almost 80% are locals. However, the operation model is quite complicated, and some shopkeepers are also hired by others.

I came here to take care of it, and some of it is the family's own property. No matter how you get a place in Bei City, there are different sects or gangs behind it."

"Mortals who usually want to enter the North City can only go through the designated teleportation array in Gold Rush City. However, not everyone can enter. They must sign a contract and register detailed information in the city before they can enter here."

Lin Chenben nodded with satisfaction and did not ask how he got in. To live in this world, everyone has their own way of survival. This boy looks young, and he knows all these things.

Very thorough.

"What is the common currency here?" This is actually the question Lin Chenben wants to ask the most.

"The currency in the market is based on spiritual stones. Of course, there are a few shops that charge secular currency." Archie was a little embarrassed, lowered his head, and answered very seriously.

"Okay, that's right. I am very satisfied with your answer. It's up to you." In fact, Lin Chenben had already acquiesced in him when he returned to the first question.

Archie blinked his big eyes, as if he couldn't believe it. His smile spread unabashedly on his face. He clenched his little hands tightly, finally raised his head and confirmed again: "Brother... Sir, what do you mean?

Is it true?"

"Okay, just follow me. If you have anything to ask, I will ask you at any time." Lin Chenben turned around and walked towards the crowded square.

First, find out what is different about the items sold here and what price they are likely to cost.

There were about a hundred stalls in the square alone. Lin Chenben looked at them very carefully at first, but it seemed that after about ten stalls, most of the stalls sold were scrap metal or incomplete exercises.

Cheats.

However, there are some small objects that are beautifully made. If a person likes them, and if they are given to a woman as a gift, she will definitely like them.

Lin Chen originally wanted to buy something to play with, but then he thought about it. The only woman he knew was captured and taken back. When they met at an unknown age, he thought about it and put down the object in his hand.

When he first entered, he secretly vowed to look at all the shops here. At this time, after looking around, he found nothing good, which made Lin Chenben a little disappointed and could only take a quick look.

Not long after, there were four or five people surrounding a stall in front of them, shouting something loudly.

"I

The shopkeeper said, "Selling such a broken stone for 50 spiritual stones, have you lost your money?" The person who spoke was a man named Mumba.

The shopkeeper of the stall is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a simple black coarse shirt, with a wide nose and thick lips. He looks very honest and honest, but his words are extremely domineering: "Get out, get out, I can sell it at whatever price I want."

What’s the price? If you don’t know the product, just go away.”

"Shopkeeper, you are too overbearing. Buying and selling are free and bargaining is a matter of course. Why are you doing business with such a bad temper?" Mumba squatted on the ground, his body more than twice as strong as the store owner.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the four or five people onlookers started talking and arguing.

"Shopkeeper, you want to sell this stone for 50 spiritual stones, please give me some advice."

"Yes, you should be honest when doing business. You can't cheat people like this."

...

The shopkeeper was also afraid of arousing public anger, so he gave a brief explanation: "This stone will move occasionally, but it doesn't move now, and it is still growing. I also accidentally picked it up. When I picked it up, this stone was only the size of a baby's fist. Now you

Look, it’s as strong as a grown man’s fist. As for the magic of this stone, I don’t know the specifics. I know everything, why would I sell it here?”

"As the saying goes, a wise eye recognizes gold, and a Bole knows a horse. Is it a treasure? Are you a Bole? If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't, don't make trouble here!"

The store owner was very eloquent, and he argued hard with his arguments and made everyone speechless.

Everyone felt that the store was just bragging, and who could verify the baseless things, so they dispersed one after another, leaving only Mengba reluctant to leave.

Lin Chenben was also at the scene and did not walk away. According to his observation just now, the store did not seem to be lying. He also used his consciousness and spiritual power to explore the stone, and there was nothing strange about it.

"Seller, can I hold it in my hand and take a look?" Lin Chenben asked. He didn't know whether the store owner was a mortal or a practitioner. If the other party is a practitioner and rashly uses his spiritual consciousness to explore other people's privacy and is discovered by others, the consequences will be

Very serious.

Archie, who was following behind, saw that Lin Chenben was interested in a stone, and the price was 50 spirit stones. He was afraid that after Lin Chenben bought it, he would find out that he had been deceived and come to settle the score with him.

Archie gently tugged at the corner of Lin Chenben's clothes and reminded in a low voice: "Sir, 50 spirit stones can buy a lot of good things."

"Don't worry, I won't blame you if you lose money." Lin Chenben turned around and smiled calmly.

"Handle it with care and don't damage it." Seeing that Lin Chenben seemed sincere, the store owner agreed.

This stone, which is the size of an adult's fist, is very strange in appearance. It is rectangular in shape and completely black. A pair of cat-ear-shaped rhombuses protrude from the upper left corner of the stone. Under the ears, the eyes and nose are gradually revealed, but are not very obvious.

Other than that, there is nothing special about the whole stone

place.

Just from the appearance, this stone looks like a master carver who carefully carved the front half of the body into a lifelike shape, but in the end it was abandoned halfway due to something.

Holding this stone, there is no cold feeling like ordinary stones, but a faint warmth comes out.

Lin Chenben concluded from this that this stone was not an ordinary thing, but he couldn't say what was special about it. 50 spirit stones could be expensive or not, neither expensive nor cheap. It could only be regarded as a kind of gambling. If you are lucky, it might be worth a fortune.

, if you have bad luck, you are just a piece of waste, worthless. However, it is a small gamble to make you happy.

"Boss, I want 50 spirit stones." Lin Chenben looked calm and relaxed, as simple as a rich kid buying a few toys.

Mumba on the side couldn't help it, stretched out his thick arms to stop him, and looked at Lin Chenben with deep hostility in his eyes.

"This Black... Black Master, what do you mean? Is there a first-come, first-served basis for buying and selling? I didn't say that I don't want this thing anymore, but you want it? Have you ever asked me?"

"Since ancient times, the one with the highest price gets it. Shopkeeper, do you think this is true?" Lin Chen did not argue with the strong man. The things belonged to the shopkeeper, so he naturally had the right to sell them to whomever he wanted.

"Haha, this distinguished customer is right, the one with the highest price will get it." The shopkeeper saw that the rubbish that had just been described as worthless turned into fragrant steamed buns in an instant. There were people vying for them, and of course he laughed from ear to ear.

.

"I also offer 50 spiritual stones. Shopkeeper, who do you want to sell them to?" Mengba's voice couldn't help but become louder, and he seemed a little excited.

But the shopkeeper seemed embarrassed and didn't know what to do for a moment.

60 spirit stones! Lin Chenben looked indifferent.

"You! Okay, okay, you did it on purpose, right? Ba Ye will give you 70 spiritual stones to fight to the death today."

80 spirit stones. Lin Chenben simply closed his eyes and waited for the other party to call out the price.

Mumba's face was red at this time, his eyebrows were angry and he wanted to have an attack but he could only hold it back.

"Okay, just wait!" Mumba dropped these words and turned around angrily.

At the back, Archie opened his mouth in a circle and covered it with one hand. It was just an inconspicuous stone, 80 spiritual stones, which he couldn't understand at all.

80 low-grade spiritual stones, if converted into gold, 1 low-grade spiritual stone is equal to 10 taels of gold, and 80 low-grade spiritual stones is 800 taels of gold. 800 taels of gold is enough for him to enjoy himself for several lifetimes.

"Is there a spiritual stone bank near here?" Lin Chen didn't take out the high-grade spiritual stone for fear of scaring Archie, not to mention that he was already quite frightened at this time.

"Yes, there is a restaurant not far ahead. Sir, I will take you there."

Lin Chenben threw out 100 taels of gold and placed it in front of the stall, saying: "Shopkeeper, here is the deposit. I'll come back as soon as I go."
