Chapter 1096: Seems like an easter egg
The three looked at each other and didn’t know what this stall was doing.
“What kind of place is this? One counter? There isn’t even anything here; who are they trying to bluff?”
“There is also no one attending to us, this…”
Two evolved indeed before Ye Zhongming’s group and cursed when they saw what the stall looked like.
They looked at Ye Zhongming’s group and told them to leave as this place was useless.
The two of them got out of the stall.
Ye Zhongming looked around before walking towards the only counter. Although it was empty, there was someone behind the counter.
He looked and saw someone who wasn’t too old sleeping over there.Ye Zhongming didn’t laugh, and he became more solemn instead.
There were only two types of people in the apocalypse: crazy people and killers.
But no one was a fool.
No matter who this shop belonged to, whether Five Ring Money or another faction, their final goal would be earning money. If there were no money to be earned, they would have opened a bubble tea store. Maybe many evolved would come to try the taste of peacetime.
Ye Zhongming tapped the counter. That person woke up and lazily opened his eyes.
“Oh, what would you like to buy?”
That stunned Ye Zhongming. What would he like to buy?
“What do you sell?”
“Everything.”
Ye Zhongming, “...”
That was too confident. Even the best smith, Ye Zhongming, didn’t dare say that he could craft anything. This person who was similar in age to him actually dared to say that he sold everything.
You were either bragging or had something good when you said that. Ye Zhongming got interested.
“Job Advancement Scroll.”
“Yes.”
The simple conversation made Ye Zhongming nervous.
“But expensive.”
That guy was still a little sleepy. He rubbed his eyes and said.
“How expensive?”
He looked at Ye Zhongming and then at Gao Yi and Zhao Xiangxue, “100 level six crystals.”
Zhao Xiangxue and Gao Yi’s mouths twitched. This wasn’t expensive, it was really expensive.
Ye Zhongming provided their equipment and evolution potions, but that didn’t mean they didn’t know their value. On the contrary, people who were nurtured had the best understanding of these items.
So when they heard that price, the two of them suspected if this place was a scam. They might not have such an item, but they wanted to scare people off with that price. Then, they could continue to tell others that they had sold everything.
Ye Zhongming didn’t think that way as he was experienced. He knew the later it went, the more valuable this scroll would be.
But at the current stage, 100 level six crystals were too much. Even if it didn’t have a supply now, it wasn’t that bad.
If you bumped into someone on the outside, the price was around three five-star potions.
“Omnipotent equipment upgrade scroll or advanced unsealing liquid.”
“Yes.”
That guy replied swiftly to Ye Zhongming’s other question.
They had?
This time, Ye Zhongming squinted his eyes. Even he started to suspect this shop.
Ye Zhongming lowered his head and thought about it, “Level eight crystal.”
This guy looked seriously at Ye Zhongming and said, “Yes.”
“Are you joking?” Ye Zhongming tapped the table and smiled coldly.
That person shook his head, “No.”
“There are two methods. First, you pay a deposit, and we will tell you when to collect the item. Second, you pay, and we will tell you where to go in Bright Water World to get this thing.”
He raised two fingers. His reply surprised Ye Zhongming.
He blinked in interest.
“So you are saying that you actually don’t have the item and need to find it in Bright Water World?”
That guy nodded, “You want such popular stuff, so how could there be any supply?”
Ye Zhongming didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “So that is how your all-item shop comes about?”
That person shook his head, “The items you want are too precious.”
Ye Zhongming kept silent and then said, “If what you say is true, then you should know a lot about this land. Based on what I know, Five Ring Money owns Bright Water World. So you must be from Five Ring Money, and you should be a core member. But you are doing such a thing that goes against their interests…”
“To be honest, I don’t trust you.”
That person smiled, “I don’t need you to trust me, and you don’t need to try to scout me. You won’t find out anything from me. But if you have money, you can get things. You can just trade money and items when the time comes.”
“On the account that I didn’t have any business these two days, you can choose an item. You won’t have to pay a deposit; I will inform you once I get it. Of course, the pretext is that you don’t die in Bright Water World before that.”
Even Zhao Xiangxue and Gao Yi felt like this guy was telling the truth.
But if that was the case, what about their boss’s question? How could he explain that?
Ye Zhongming was expressionless but shocked. He felt like he had stumbled upon a rare chance—it was as if he had stumbled upon an Easter egg.
Of course, this wasn’t an NPC. This was the apocalypse and not a game. But behind this small stall should be a huge faction. Ye Zhongming thought about those names on the leaderboard but was unsure which faction this guy was from.
There was also something Ye Zhongming didn’t understand. If he was a spokesperson of a big faction and knew so much about Bright Water World, why didn’t they get these things and instead have to take the risk to sell them?
Ye Zhongming didn’t know what choice to make.
He thought about it before saying, “If I need some detailed information, what is your price?”
That person laughed, “You are smart and actually want to consume everything. Is your appetite that good? I don’t ignore that the three of you are strong, one seven-star and two six-star, but let me be honest, you don’t have the ability to swallow so much inside.”
“Okay then, I shall buy a few pieces of information.” Ye Zhongming stared at the person and said.
