Chapter 85: Flender

Dugu Yan and Zhou Heng were strolling through the streets of Suotuo City.

Back when she was in Heaven Dou City, Dugu Yan had enjoyed shopping, and now that she had arrived in Suotuo City, a place she had never been before.

Dugu Yan's enthusiasm for shopping reached its peak; in a single day, she walked from the south of Suotuo City to the north.

Even at night, Dugu Yan was still savoring the feeling of the shopping she had done earlier.

The next day, Dugu Yan got up bright and early and took Zhou Heng out to continue shopping.

However, this time, Dugu Bo also followed along.

But after witnessing his granddaughter Dugu Yan's crazy way of shopping, even Dugu Bo, a Super Douluo, could not stand it.

By the afternoon, Dugu Bo had originally intended to stop following them.

However, Zhou Heng did not know what excuse Dugu Yan had used, but she had managed to drag Dugu Bo out to continue shopping.

Dugu Yan and Zhou Heng turned into a small alley.

Here, Dugu Yan saw a small stall selling jewelry, and looking at the exquisite pieces on it, she was immediately attracted.

Zhou Heng watched Dugu Yan, who was picking out jewelry while haggling with the stall owner.

Even for someone like Zhou Heng, who had a strong body and powerful mental strength, he was exhausted from the process of shopping.

Zhou Heng could not help but walk to the side of the street and sit down, intending to slack off and rest for a while.

Just then, Zhou Heng suddenly saw a peculiar shop.

This shop was very strange and looked completely out of place with the surrounding shops.

Logically speaking, ordinary shops would display what they were selling on their signs and names to attract customers.

However, this shop was very strange; there was nothing outside the shop at all.

This peculiar design caught Zhou Heng's attention, and he mobilized some mental strength to probe toward that strange shop.

Very quickly, the feedback from his mental strength let Zhou Heng know that there was an entity with a not-so-weak aura inside this shop, and that entity's strength should be that of a Seven-Ring Soul Saint.

Zhou Heng immediately thought of the Four-Eyed Cat Eagle Flender, who opened a school near Suotuo City.

Recalling the original work, Flender's first appearance was also in a shop in Suotuo City, where he acted as a merchant and sold Tang San a piece of Board Crystal Hair Gold, allowing Tang San to obtain a type of hidden weapon.

Zhou Heng wanted to go into this shop to take a look.

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng glanced at Dugu Yan, who was still haggling with the stall owner, and used a mental link to tell Dugu Bo to keep an eye on Dugu Yan.

Afterward, he went into this strange shop himself.

As soon as he entered, Zhou Heng saw the owner of the shop sitting on a recliner, holding a boxed meal, and eating with his head down.

The space in this shop was not small, but in such a large shop, there was only one person, and there was not even a counter.

The three surrounding walls were filled with all sorts of old, worn-out goods that looked like they were not worth a penny.

As the owner of the shop looked up, Zhou Heng saw that this person had a hooked nose and a face like the sole of a shoe, with eyes full of shrewd, calculating light.

Sure enough, this person was the Dean of Shrek, the Flying Eagle of the Triangle among the Golden Iron Triangle, the notoriously stingy Four-Eyed Cat Eagle, Flender.

When Flender saw Zhou Heng walk into his shop, he only gave a slight glance, but his eyes began to shine, and his entire spirit was invigorated.

"This clothing... this material, one look and I know it's something only found over in Heaven Dou City; and looking at this person's temperament, one look and I know it's something only a noble would have.

It seems I'm going to make a fortune this time!"

As the extremely greedy Flender, with just a single glance, he could tell that the clothes Zhou Heng was wearing were extraordinary, even though they looked like ordinary clothes.

However, those fine lines and special patterns were things he knew at a glance were only found in Heaven Dou City.

Moreover, this person's temperament was also unusual, not something those Spirit Masters who licked blood from the edge of a blade could compare to.

In the past, when people came, Flender never paid much attention to them because he knew those people couldn't afford these things, so he naturally wasn't willing to spend the energy to deal with them.

But now, seeing this young man who looked even more like a noble than a young master, Flender immediately perked up, stood up, and moved to Zhou Heng's side, his eyes flashing with a look of greed and shrewdness.

He casually set the lunch box aside, wiped his mouth with his hand, and looked at Zhou Heng with a face full of smiles.

If one only looked at his appearance, this person was just a treacherous merchant; one could never tell that this was a Seven-Ring Soul Saint-level powerhouse.

"This noble young master, I wonder what you would like to find upon coming to my humble shop?"

Flender asked Zhou Heng cordially with a smile on his face.

Zhou Heng replied casually: "I found this shop to be quite peculiar and felt interested, so I came over to take a look."

Zhou Heng really wanted to know what this important supporting character from the original work wanted to do now.

Flender was not moved by Zhou Heng's claim of just "taking a look."

Just taking a look was even better; it meant the other party hadn't decided what to buy, which didn't that just mean they wanted everything?

Flender had some confidence in his own eloquence; relying on his silver tongue, could he not swindle a sum of Gold Soul Coins from this young noble master?

"Come, come, come, look here." Flender led Zhou Heng to a wall.

He took down something in the style of a bracelet from the wall.

"This is a Storage Soul Guidance Device from a long time ago; some time ago, it was unearthed from a ruin by a group of Spirit Masters, and the condition is excellent.

Relying on my connections, I spent a great many Gold Soul Coins to buy it."

Zhou Heng took the Storage Soul Guidance Device that Flender handed him, and after just one probe with his mental strength, Zhou Heng looked at Flender with a strange gaze.

Afterward, he said: "Although this Storage Soul Guidance Device is much larger than an average one.

However, the space within this Storage Soul Guidance Device is extremely unstable; it's fine for emergency use a few times.

But as the number of uses increases, the space within this Storage Soul Guidance Device will become increasingly unstable.

Eventually, this Storage Soul Guidance Device will be scrapped, and the items stored inside will fall into the Space Turbulence, leaving nothing behind."

Flender's expression was a bit strange, somewhat incredulous.

"Impossible, although this Storage Soul Guidance Device is a bit dilapidated, it shouldn't break."

Flender took the Storage Soul Guidance Device from Zhou Heng's hand and began to test it against a piece of ore on the side.

After Flender had stored and retrieved the ore more than ten times in a row, he clearly noticed that the space within this Storage Soul Guidance Device was trembling significantly and was clearly somewhat unstable.

Every time one stores or retrieves items within the space of a Storage Soul Guidance Device, it consumes more soul power.

"It seems this Storage Soul Guidance Device has a major problem," Flender thought to himself.

"My apologies, I misread it..."

Flender said to Zhou Heng, feeling embarrassed.

He also took the opportunity to stuff this Storage Soul Guidance Device into his own pocket.

He was indeed a stingy, unscrupulous merchant, but he could not be too excessive either.

If this kind of Storage Soul Guidance Device, which was on the verge of breaking down, were bought by someone with a bit of influence.

If the Storage Soul Guidance Device broke down while in use and the person's items fell into the Space Turbulence, wouldn't that just be creating another enemy?

When that time came, at best he would be harassed in the shadows, and at worst, they might come knocking on his door to fight him to the death.

Although he was not afraid of offending people, he still had to determine whether this Storage Soul Guidance Device was worth offending a Spirit Master over.
