Chapter 58: Chance Encounter

a chill

Xu Yun was studying the item information provided by the system. He felt as if he was being stared at by something. The hair on the back of his neck and head stood up instantly, and his back felt a little cold for no reason.

It was clear that the surroundings were surrounded by the scorching rays of the sun, and even the scenery near the ground became a little blurry because the high temperature of the air distorted the light, but I didn't feel cold to the bone.

This feeling···

Xu Yun looked at the simple stone eyeball.

Xu Yun came to the stall and swept his palms over the displayed products one by one. The boss followed his hand with his eyes, watching the young man's slender palm pass over the exquisite goblet and land on the stone eyeball.

nearby.

"Boss, how do you sell this?"

This young man is wearing ordinary adventurer clothes. Although the equipment on his body is complete, it is not difficult to see that it is shabby in his sophisticated eyes. They are all the most common things. If a child from a noble family plays an adventurer game, there will be nothing wrong with him.

He will bring a few alchemy items provided by the family that are particularly practical but not obtrusive.

Usually such props are made into brooches, necklaces or rings that are easy to carry and inspire. But this boy's hands were empty and he didn't have a single ring. The lanyard around his neck looked like the kind of ordinary leather that ordinary people use to tie money bags.

rope.

The feather pinned to the collar does look like that, but it is too common. Many adventurers will wear such brightly colored tail feathers. As for the rose on the chest, it is delicate and looks quite fresh. It should be

Just picked recently.

But is he just wearing this outfit and wearing flowers to attend the party? But this time is still very early in the evening.

A strange ghost mask, the taste is very unique, and the workmanship of this mask looks quite outstanding.

In just a few breaths, the businessman thought he had seen through the young man in front of him. Although he was setting up a stall in the Nancheng market, the products on the stall were all expensive and high-quality products. He took it for granted that these things were not something that the young man in front of him could consume.

I can afford it, so I don’t have any expectations for soliciting business.

"Young man, this is not for sale. It was stored here by a friend of mine. He will come to pick it up in a few days. I was afraid of accidentally losing it, so I put it on the stall to keep it out of my sight.

.It’s really inconspicuous, isn’t it?”

Xu Yun's eyebrows were slightly raised, "Not selling?"

"Not for sale."

"Don't look at me like this, I'm quite rich." Xu Yun saw the impatience in the businessman's eyes, and he had seen that kind of business-like smile too many times.

Xu Yun did not have much cash on him. After he separated from his friends, he handed over the team's funds to Nan Qi and asked her to purchase the required alchemy materials. The remaining money he had was only a fixed amount per person.

Dividends of one hundred gold molas.

One hundred gold molas can be used to buy one or two good luxury items in luxury goods transactions, but in the field of extraordinary materials, it really can't even make a splash.

I didn't look at Kerry's set of armor. Even a second-hand one sold for more than a thousand gold molars. Of course, this is also due to the fact that the price of armor is much higher than that of weapons.

The most expensive ones are alchemy items (potions and props) and holy relics with special powers.

"Young man, don't ask about this. Everything else in this stall is brought by me. You can buy whatever you like, but this stone is really left with me. I can't break my promise..."

The businessman's unspoken words were stuck in his throat after seeing the object Xu Yun took out from his neck.

They were two gemstone particles the size of mung beans, but even he knew that these were definitely not ordinary gemstone particles, because they were glowing and slightly fluorescent.

"Elemental crystal." He swallowed hard, and his eyes instantly ignited, becoming eager and attentive.

There are two elemental crystals in one hand. How powerful must this little kid’s family be?

Elemental crystals are not a currency used for trading in the market. Even crystal particles smaller than this boy's hand are priceless in the market. These things are used as the core of the element array for refining and alchemy.

When equipping, an element crystal is added to the element array as the array driving core, and the refined equipment can officially enter the grade.

Those alchemy items that do not contain elemental crystals, even if they are exquisitely conceived and have practical functions, can only be ordinary alchemy items, and those who have truly awakened the Eye of God will not even bother to use them.

"Let's take a look at this carved gold-inlaid goblet from the desert royal family. This is an absolute master's work. The master who made it is Ildatala from the Ecclesiastical Order, with the night sky Venus. His works are widely praised.

Highly sought after by royal families and nobles, even in Sumeru, Master Ildatara's works are hard to find.

In addition to its unique pattern and beautiful and luxurious appearance, it also has the magical function of keeping the wine in a chilled state forever. The most important thing is that it can shield and resolve 80% of the known poisons in the world. Use it to

When drinking, you can not only enjoy ice-cold wine but also don’t have to worry about being poisoned.”

The businessman shook his fluffy beard that looked like a squirrel's tail, and the end of his raised beard kept shaking back and forth as he spoke, which was very interesting. He eagerly promoted the goblet on the other side of Xu Yun's hand.

"Isn't there still 20% of the poison that cannot be resolved..." Xu Yun muttered in a low voice. He did become somewhat interested in this wine glass. If it was just a gorgeous wine glass, he could always go to the shopping street of the Central Square to buy it.

, you can find everything you can think of in a luxury store.

However, in addition to being luxurious, this wine glass is also an alchemical item that can be chilled and detoxified. The key is that Xu Yun did not find an array of inlaid elements on the wine glass. It was obviously concealed by the gold pattern inlaid on the surface. This refining technique

It's truly exquisite.

"You... no, you can't be too harsh. There are too many types of poisons in this world. Being able to block 80% of them will already block at least thousands of poisons." The businessman saw Xu Yun paying attention.

I turned my attention to the wine glass and couldn't help but feel a little elated.

"But I'm still more interested in this." Xu Yun turned his gaze from the wine glass to the stone ball aside.

The enthusiasm on the businessman's face was like a flame extinguished by cold water, and he looked sad.

"This really can't be sold. This is my credibility and friendship. And it's just an ordinary stone ball. Why are you so interested in it?" The businessman stretched out his fat hand and took the stone ball in his hand.

Inside, I weighed it up and down, as casually as if I were tossing stones picked up by the roadside.

Xu Yun saw that the vertical pupil of the demon dragon's Eye of Disaster did not even tremble at all when it flicked up and down at him.

It is always facing him, no matter how the stone ball turns in the businessman's hands.

It's like it's looking at you.

If it had just glanced at him before, this time it had already focused its attention on Xu Yun.

"Are you sure it's just a stone ball?" Xu Yun swallowed and took half a step back unconsciously.

"Yes, although I don't know why that friend solemnly entrusted it to me for safekeeping, but based on my many years of experience in business, this is just an ordinary stone. In terms of advantages, it is quite round in shape.

?If it were naturally so round, I think it would be more valuable."

It seems that he can't see the strangeness of this stone ball.

Xu Yun glanced at the businessman, then took a step back. Being stared at by the vertical pupils, there was always a strange chill coming from the depths of his consciousness.

‘Let me take a look at you, and disaster will come.’ Xu Yun remembered the information given by the system.

Although this half-dead system often has no sense of existence, it is quite reliable.

But Xu Yun was still unwilling to let go of the demon dragon's eyeballs in front of him.

"Hey~"

A palm fell on Xu Yun's shoulder.

"It's hard to see you as a kid, my Timmy." Like a bottle of liquor mixed with mint juice and sunset juice, a mellow but warm baritone sounded from behind Xu Yun.

The recognition is still very high.

Landis.

Xu Yun turned his head, and the handsome man with red hair tied high into a ponytail, wearing a beige half-sleeved shirt and silk breeches stood behind him, putting a palm on his shoulder.

He was dressed very casually today. His clothes were always luxurious and elegant. He didn't look expensive but always felt they were better than ordinary people. There were no weapons or decorations in sight.

Next to Landis is Saslia, who is wearing a blue and white pleated patterned knee-length dress.

Compared with Landis's clothes, her clothes were much more ordinary. If there was any difference, the dress was too decent and beautiful when she wore it. Xu Yun keenly noticed that there were more than a dozen glances from time to time.

It fell on her. In the crowded streets of the market, people would rub against her from time to time, but they were separated by an invisible force when they were about to touch her.

"You...why are you here?" Xu Yun said subconsciously.

"Today is a day off, why can't I...well, we are on patrol." Landis said in a normal tone, turned his head and glanced beside him, shrugged and changed his words.

Patrolling to the small commodity market, the people here are so crowded, I think you have a good future. Xu Yun wanted to pat Landis on the shoulder in turn. But seeing Saslia's indifferent look, Xu Yun felt that

Landis has little hope.

"We really need to inspect this place, especially the market in Nanfeng District." Xu Yun nodded seriously. "By the way, Landis, have you brought any money?"

Landis frowned slightly, why does Timmy always ask for money when we meet? We haven't seen each other for a few months. It shouldn't be an old friend catching up. By the way, can you help me say a few nice words in front of Leah?

He glared at Xu Yun, glanced down at his side, and said in a pretentious manner: "Last month's payment has not been given, but this month's payment has not yet arrived. What, you are in a tight situation again? I heard that Li

Ya will open a back door for you and specially approve your team to go to the Adventurers Association in advance to receive missions and experience, so you should earn more than other apprentices."

"Alas~" Xu Yun sighed, as if he had nowhere to express his sorrow. "If I didn't form a team to practice, I didn't know there were so many ways to spend money. The bounty I got from doing the regional cleanup mission this time was not warm enough.

I have already decided where to use it, and I don’t dare to spend it arbitrarily. This is the result of everyone’s meeting to discuss it. Change to more practical equipment, buy alchemy potions, spell scrolls, camping tents, and equipment. Each of these things costs money.

.”

Landis' eyes wandered around the stall in front of Xu Yun, and then fell back on him. "The reward for the regional cleanup mission is quite generous. It is more rewarding than finding cats in Mondstadt and cleaning up rats in the sewers."

How much did you earn?"

"More than two thousand, in fact, it's just in our hands, and it'll be gone in a few days." Xu Yun complained a little.
