Chapter 81: Very Outgoing

The shop owner took a look and, seeing that they were cold weapons, became more certain of his guess.

He had just been spouting nonsense, off by so much in timeline—I don't believe this kid in front of him understands what a sniper rifle is.

However, his business in the homeland really isn't selling well; he's even thinking of switching trades. The mosquito legs sent by the Great King are also meat, so he plans to ask around.

"Do you want to buy one or some? Is it for collection or use? You wouldn't be buying handicrafts, would you?"

"For fighting and killing! I want the sharpest, sturdiest saber; if the quality is good, I'll buy more!"

The Great King thought sabers were everywhere on the grasslands; surely Homeland wouldn't also charge him an expensive processing fee? He had no iron ore, buying sabers on a large scale or having people make them risked leaking news; being able to buy sabers in the homeland was indeed his top choice.

He actually trusted Bai Yang more, but unfortunately, Bai Yang's place is a peaceful prosperous era; weapons are all regulated products, and it's said ordinary commoners can't access weapons specifically for killing.

Upon hearing about buying in bulk, the shop owner finally rose and stepped out from behind the counter.

The shop owner glanced at the golden crown on the Great King's head and thought, maybe this child, in his interface, is a noble with an army at his disposal?

"You want sabers, for cavalry use?"

He knows his stuff— the Great King nodded firmly.

"I can get them, and I can even make them with high-carbon steel and the toughest coating, as long as you can afford the price."

The Great King wanted to instinctively cover his little purse, but he held back, lifted his chin, and replied, "Don't brag; as long as it's a good blade, price is negotiable."

"Then, what's the most you could buy?"

The Great King uncertainly said, "Five hundred? One thousand?"

What big business!

This is definitely for equipping an army; this kid needs to be pleased.

The shop owner got excited right away, patted the Great King's small shoulder, and said, "Good! I'll take this business!"

The Great King hastily reminded him, "I need to see what they look like first!" You took it, you took it—if the blades aren't good, don't even think of cheating this Great King out of a single coin!

The shop owner thought a moment, "I know, they've been obsolete for over a thousand years; I'll have to make them to order. How about this: in five days you come over, I'll bring one for you to see; if you're satisfied, we'll sign a big order! Guaranteed durable and sharp—enough to cut hair with a breath, how's that?"

Cut hair with a breath?

The Personal Guard Battalion's iron sheets are pathetically weak!

This time the Great King also got fired up, and his solemn-looking partner encouraged him, "As long as these sabers turn out well, there will be other business for you—I have plenty of troops under my command~"

Although the Great King hadn't spent a single coin, the shop owner still enthusiastically saw him out to the street—he hadn't received this treatment last time.

The Great King found the saber supplier, and he started skipping down the road—here nobody knows he's Prince You. He clenched his little fist and thought, Next step: catch plenty of seafood, sell it to Bai Yang to earn coin for sabers!

Seeing that time was still early, he turned again toward the Phoenix Market.

Here, new people and new goods are swapped every day; whenever he sets up his stall, the neighboring vendors are never the same.

Every time the Great King walks down this street, it feels like a new street. After all, having found the right direction, setting up a stall here is also a highly profitable business, and not many can't afford to buy a shop.

After strolling a while, the Great King still hadn't met the merfolk who would give him mermaid pearls; instead, at the street corner he saw the youth selling Bigu Pills.

The Great King enthusiastically went over, "Hey little bro, you're here again~ Are your Bigu Pills cheap today?"

The pill-selling little bro, Qiao Yi: ……

I've run into this kid three or four times at the Phoenix Market; each time I warmly greet him, then tell him I still don't have money to buy Bigu Pills, need to wait a bit longer, and ask when they'll be cheap.

Little did he know that the kid also had a cheat, wasn't doing well either, and was a match for this little guy.

In the starving realms of the myriad worlds, no one can afford Bigu Pills; in realms with food and dishes, who would buy these tasteless Bigu Pills? They're practically useless.

Since the Qiao family declined, he only has this one pill formula; he can't currently get a hold of any other variations.

But the Great King's attitude is excellent and he's cute; being asked like this, he not only doesn't get angry, but also feels inexplicably reluctant to refuse.

"How about… I give you two?"

The Great King shook his head wildly, "Little bro, you're really nice, but I don't want it—I freely took Homeland… oh, that is the homeland, and I wouldn't let me take it out."

That's true.

Qiao Yi rummaged through his bundle again, "Or how about you look at this Body Refining Technique? Although it's worthless in our Nine Li Continent, you probably don't have it there. This is a basic body-refining cultivation method that can temper bones and muscles; anyone, with or without spiritual roots, can practice it. Are you interested?"

"A martial arts manual? Sounds impressive, and the Great King was certainly interested."

He took it, flipped through—there were words and pictures, and surprisingly he could read the text!

The Great King enthusiastically grabbed Qiao Yi's hand, "You use the same script as we do, unlike the weapon shop! Perhaps, as Bai Yang said, you and we are on the same land, just different time interfaces, and we look alike!"

Qiao Yi had never considered this issue; this kid has black hair and black eyes just like him, and although the street has all kinds of hair colors, he hadn't really paid attention to this small detail before.

The Great King enthusiastically said, "We definitely share the same ancestor—I'm Bai Li Jing; little bro, what's your name?"

"Qiao Yi."

"Wow—there are people surnamed Qiao in the Great Jin! No wonder you seem so friendly!"

Today the Great King is also very outgoing—more outgoing than when Bai Yang met him that day—and successfully turned an introverted, shy little bro into his own person.

After exchanging names and ages, the Great King, following Bai Yang, gained another Qiao Ge.

Qiao Ge felt embarrassed to ask for money for the Body Refining Technique, so he offered to sell it for a single coin just as a formality. The Great King earnestly explained, "Actually, how much you sell me for doesn't matter—Homeland will definitely add money, so that sum will be earned by it; it's not as good as you earning it, so name your price loudly and I'll listen."

Qiao Yi: ……

Bai Yang felt heartbroken about this—the Great King's stall, which he brought, has multiplied and now has a real market vibe...

"Then… I'll sell it to you for thirty coins? Mainly because these books are everywhere on the street; copying a copy is worthless."

What the Great King heard: I'll sell it to you for two hundred coins.

Two thousand taels?

The Great King steeled himself and pulled out the money!

After all, the book has illustrations, so he couldn't easily copy it.

He has the heart of a City Lord and is in great shape; this item, for the first time being so generous, is also intended to spend heavily to buy it back and equip his Owl Riders.
