Chapter 1100: Want to Rob Our Goods?

Although the blind girl couldn't hear Nai Ge's muttering clearly, she knew it wasn't Yaya because she didn't respond to her immediately, so she shrank back into the pit with some disappointment.

Ang walked over without stopping, his consciousness sweeping around, including the girl's body. After sweeping past, Ang suddenly stopped and tilted his head toward the girl.

Nai Ge asked: "What's wrong?"

"Not human." After Ang finished speaking, he continued to look down and search. Instead, Nai Ge stopped and curiously leaned to the edge of the pit, wanting to see why she was "not human."

The pit was very simple. Some sundries were neatly stacked on the left, and the right side should be the work area, with a basin of water and some Huanyan debris.

The girl was sitting by the water basin, holding a wooden stick, dipping it in water, then dipping it in a little Huanyan debris, repeatedly rubbing the Huanyan in her hand. At her feet were some ropes. Looking at the Huanyan debris stuck on them, it was obviously using the same principle to rub the Huanyan.

"So it's the Bow-Jade Technique. I was wondering why she could carve Huanyan. I didn't expect it to be the Bow-Jade Technique." Nai Ge suddenly realized.

Anthony also leaned over, looking at the thing in the girl's hand, and asked curiously: "What is the Bow-Jade Technique?" This vocabulary was too professional; Anthony didn't know much about it.

The girl was already a little scared because of their approach, but after hearing Nai Ge's voice, she relaxed instead and turned to ask: "Are you here to collect Huanyan?"

This was an abyss plane with no value. The only thing of value was these Huanyan. Those who stayed here were all industrial chains built around Huanyan. For example, this girl was a sculptor specializing in carving Huanyan.

Besides those in the Huanyan industrial chain, the only people who would come here were those merchants who collected Huanyan. Merchants had also come to watch her work before, so the girl naturally thought Nai Ge and the others were also merchants.

Anthony said kindly: "You could say that. Hello, what are you doing? It's very beautiful. Are you making it to sell? How much for one?"

"Is it beautiful?" The girl showed a very happy smile, with a kind of pride of being affirmed, and held the Huanyan sculpture in her palm to show it: "One gold coin, is that okay? It takes me a month to carve one."

Anthony was stunned for a moment, feeling something was wrong, and said: "Wait a moment."

Then he contacted Silver Coin and asked: "Do you know Huanyan? How much does a Huanyan sculpture usually cost? About ten centimeters high, how much? Fifty magic crystals starting price? Okay, got it."

Asking for the information he wanted, Anthony turned back and asked kindly: "Have you eaten? Are you hungry?"

"No..." The girl subconsciously swallowed her saliva. Just as she was about to say she wasn't hungry, her stomach betrayed her, making a "Gulu—" sound.

Anthony laughed heartily and enthusiastically dug out some dried meat and pastries, stuffed them into the girl's hands, and asked at the same time: "Only earning one gold coin a month, can you eat your fill normally?"

The girl held the food Anthony stuffed into her hands in a flurry, shook her head shyly: "Just eat a little less. Anyway, I won't starve to death. Thank you, but I can't take these. They are too fragrant; I can tell they are very expensive just by smelling them."

"Eat. After you're full, I still have something to ask you. Eat first, chat while eating. If you're hungry, I'll be embarrassed to ask you questions." Anthony pretended to be displeased. How could a simple girl be Anthony's opponent? After a few moral kidnappings, she obediently started gnawing on the dried meat in small bites.

Nai Ge took the opportunity to whisper: "One gold coin a month, that's not bad, right? Many farmers can't even earn one gold coin a year. Why can't she eat her fill?"

Anthony whispered: "Grain isn't produced here; grain is all transported from outside. The price must be very high. If Huanyan products were very cheap, that would be fine, but Silver Coin said this thing starts at fifty magic crystals, which is at least five hundred gold coins. Earning so much money and deliberately not letting people eat their fill, these damn profiteers."

This was the difference between having experience and having only theory. Anthony knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it, but Nai Ge would only simply measure it by the face value of the currency.

"Oh right, no grain produced, food should be very expensive. But what does deliberately not letting people eat their fill mean? Deliberately?" Nai Ge asked uncomprehendingly.

"If you earn ten months' worth of money in one month, would you still insist on working? Under what circumstances would you work hard?"

"Isn't it when the money is just enough for you to spend, and you won't have food if you don't work next month, and it's best if you have a loan, and you have to pay back money every day when you open your eyes, that your motivation to work is the fullest? They deliberately lower the purchase price so that she must work very hard so as not to starve to death." Anthony said.

Nai Ge widened his eyes, incredulous: "So black-hearted? Profiteers!"

Far away in the Court of Leo, Silver Coin, who didn't follow because he was too busy, sneezed three times in a row, then rubbed his nose and muttered: "It must be Lord Nai Ge scolding me again."

One gold coin was just enough for one person to eat, but it wouldn't work for two people. The girl looked very thin and weak, her hands were full of cracked openings, and her fingernails and skin were full of barbs, which was obviously caused by a lack of certain nutrients.

Despite this, the girl stopped after taking a few bites and carefully put away the remaining food.

"I'm full. What do you want to ask, my lord? But can you tell me first, what is the Bow-Jade Technique?" The girl said.

"Oh, this, it's a method of cutting stone using a bow-shaped tool. Bend a stick, tie a rope to both ends, and the stick will naturally pull the rope straight, like a bow."

"Then wet the rope, stick debris on it, and move it back and forth, and you can cut jade-like stones, just like you are doing now. So it's called the Bow-Jade Technique. There is a proverb: stones from other mountains can bow-jade, which refers to the Bow-Jade Technique." Nai Ge explained.

The girl suddenly realized: "So that's what it means. The method I've used since I was a child to grind stones with a rope actually has a name. You are truly amazing; you must be a wise man."

"Hehe, hehe..." Nai Ge's tail went up, giggling.

The girl turned to Anthony and said: "My lord, what do you want to ask?"

"What is your name?" Anthony asked.

The girl said: "My name is Ketikalludi."

"I don't know if it's offensive to ask, but may I ask if you are human?" Anthony asked.

"Ah!" Ketikalludi tensed up instantly.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I just feel your aura is a bit special, so I'm just asking casually. I have no malice. You don't have to answer if you don't want to." Anthony hurriedly comforted her.

Nai Ge couldn't help but curl his lips, cursing in his heart: You feel it, my ghost. It was clearly Ang who told you, you damn god-stick.

Perhaps Anthony's voice was more sincere, Ketikalludi relaxed a little and stammered: "I... I... I..."

Ketikalludi didn't "I" anything out, but Anthony already knew the answer. He smiled and changed the subject: "Your Huanyan carving is quite exquisite. Can you sell it to me?"

"Okay, of course. It's almost finished. One gold coin, is that okay?" Ketikalludi asked cautiously, fearing that she had opened the price too high.

"Of course..." Anthony was about to pay, when a roar suddenly came from the direction of the pioneer camp: "What are you doing!? Want to rob our goods? Didn't anyone tell you this is the territory of our Black Rope Mercenary Group?!" ===== CHAPTER 1101 =====
