Chapter 41: Freezing Wind

Freezing Wind

Hearing the System Prompt Sound in his ears, Lin Mo actually became interested.

He strode boldly into the small cottage before him.

Inside, the lighting was dim, and a middle‑aged man sat with his legs crossed, reclining in a chair.

In front of him was an old television, broadcasting a spicy girl's hot dance.

Hearing a noise outside, the man staggered up from the chair.

Looking at Lin Keke, his face beaming with a smile:

"Good girl, why did you come?"

Lin Keke glanced at the TV, expressionless, turned it off, then pointed at Lin Mo and said, "I've brought you a business opportunity!"

Hearing that, the middle‑aged man looked at Lin Mo and said, "I have plenty of Little Spirit skill learning devices here!"

While speaking, the man opened a drawer and pulled out three Little Spirit skill learning devices.

"These are all my stock!"

The shopkeeper pointed at the three devices and said, "They were all excavated from ruins; as for what skills they contain, you'll have to open the blind box yourself!"

"Don't know the skill? Open a blind box?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo actually became interested.

With the System Prompt Sound present, such uncertainty is a chance to scoop up a bargain.

In front of his eyes were three small boxes, all dusty.

Upon closer inspection, mud stains were also visible.

It's easy to infer they were just dug up from the ground.

Lin Mo's gaze shifted to the leftmost device.

"Ding‑dong! A Little Spirit skill learning device—Freezing Wind—detected three meters ahead!"

"Freezing Wind: Harnesses a chilling wind to freeze the enemy, reducing the target's speed by one tier."

Hearing the System Prompt Sound again, Lin Mo's eyes lit up.

Compared with the low‑chance paralysis of One Hundred Thousand Volts, the speed‑reduction chance of Freezing Wind is virtually 100%.

This is a large‑scale crowd‑control skill.

Moreover, most importantly, this skill can be learned by Miaomiao.

Yet Lin Mo's expression did not change at all; he calmly turned his gaze to the second Little Spirit skill learning device.

"Ding‑dong! A Little Spirit skill learning device—Flying Leaf Swift Blade—detected three meters ahead!"

"Flying Leaf Swift Blade: Condenses sharp leaves to strike the enemy, making vital hits easier."

Although the skill is quite good,

the two Little Spirits in his hand cannot learn it at all.

Thinking of that, Lin Mo shook his head and looked at the third device.

"Ding‑dong! A Little Spirit skill learning device—Thunder Strike—detected three meters ahead!"

"Rain Prayer: A weather‑type skill that can gather dark clouds, creating rain for five minutes."

A weather‑type skill.

Lin Mo's eyes brightened; this Rain Prayer skill is also a skill that Miaomiao can learn, and it synergizes with One Hundred Thousand Volts electric strikes.

It has a remarkable effect.

Staring at the first and third devices, Lin Mo fell into hesitation.

After a moment of doubt, Lin Mo looked at the shopkeeper and said:

"From which ruins were these excavated?"

The shopkeeper grinned, "That's a business secret; I can't just tell outsiders."

"Alright!"

Seeing the shopkeeper keep his mouth shut, Lin Mo didn't press further.

He got straight to the point and asked, "What's the price for these?"

"Hehe!"

The shopkeeper rubbed his mouth, leaned close to Lin Mo, and laughed, "Since we don't know which skills are inside, the price is the same for all!"

"Uniform price: five hundred thousand each!"

"???"

Hearing the half‑million figure, Lin Mo was slightly stunned.

Does this person have X‑ray vision, knowing his cash on hand?

He knew he happened to have a 500,000‑dollar check in his pocket.

Or perhaps it was given by his father, Lian Ni Chang.

"If I buy two, can I get a discount?"

Lin Mo's eyes flickered as he stared at the shopkeeper.

Seeing this, Lin Keke stepped forward, patted her father's shoulder, and said, "Old man Lin, I've already brought you a deal; won't you give a discount?"

"Oh dear!"

Lin's father, frightened by Lin Keke, shivered and nodded repeatedly, "I'll give you a 10% discount!"

"Now that's more like it!"

Looking at her father, Lin Keke smiled brightly at Lin Mo, "The market price outside is 500,000 each!"

Though she said no more, the implication was already crystal clear.

Then it's a purchase here; it can't be a loss.

"Um…"

Lin Mo fished a check from his pocket and handed it over: "Ten thousand here, buy one first, and the remaining yuan will serve as a deposit!"

While saying that, Lin Mo lifted the Freezing Wind skill learning device and continued: "Keep this for me; I'll go to the Black Market to sell what I have!"

"Buy this one as well!"

Looking at the check in his hand, Lin Father laughed heartily: "Straightforward, I'll set it aside for you right now!"

Lin Mo's mouth curved into a smile: "Then I'll withdraw now!"

Cradling the Freezing Wind skill learning device, Lin Mo turned and left.

The Freezing Wind skill learning device, at its regular price, costs at least 800,000+.

After all, it's a 100% crowd‑control skill.

Moreover, ice‑type Little Spirits are scarce, so any ice‑type skill learning device…

…won't be priced below 600,000.

If Lin Mo were short of money, he could flip the Freezing Wind for resale.

Doing so, he'd net a clean profit of 350,000.

But Lin Mo is a Little Spirit trainer, not a second‑hand dealer.

What is the money for?

Isn't it to boost the Little Spirits' strength?

In Lin Mo's view, even the wealthiest magnate, without matching power, is a gullible pushover.

Lin Mo naturally refuses to become that kind of person.

He walked into the hall.

The number of merchants in the two rows on either side increased.

Moreover, compared with the merchants in the aisle, the Little Spirit items sold here…

…are clearly a higher tier.

"High‑quality Little Fire Dragon, 150,000 each!"

Listening to the vendor's hawking, Lin Mo turned his head to look.

He saw a fire‑red Little Fire Dragon lying on the ground, snoring loudly.

"Ding‑dong! Little Spirit Little Fire Dragon detected three meters to the left!"

【Little Fire Dragon (Fire type)】

【Level: LV8 (Infant stage)】

【Trait: Fierce Fire】

【Skills: Grab, Impact, Howl】

【Potential: Elite Level】

An Elite Level Little Fire Dragon has quite decent potential on its own.

After using a fire‑type fruit, nurture it well.

It takes several years.

It can become a powerful quasi‑Celestial King Blaze Dragon.

Although he quite likes fire‑type Little Fire Dragons, the thought of the resources consumed in cultivation…

Lin Mo felt a sudden headache.

He couldn't help shaking his head and walked deeper into the hall.

At that moment, Lin Mo suddenly noticed a staircase ahead.

At the stairwell entrance stood three men in black.

"Stop!"

As soon as he approached, the men in black blocked Lin Mo: "There's an auction upstairs; do you have an entry ticket?"

"Entry ticket?"

Lin Mo slightly frowned and retorted: "How can one obtain an entry ticket!"

"10,000 cash! No refunds!"

???

Doing business at this level, Lin Mo had never seen anything like it before.
