She would not feel full unless she first absorbed a Void Core to replenish the energy in her body.
The two of them walked another two blocks and arrived at the commercial street where the Piltover caravan was located.
Thanks to Hextech refrigeration units, Piltover merchants can sell fresh fruits and vegetables in Shurima.
Of course, for most Shurimans, these fresh fruits and vegetables are luxuries and are expensive.
When they walked to a stall, Kassa, who was eating skewers, stopped and a gleam of light flashed in her watery purple eyes.
"Hey, pretty girl, would you like a delicious and juicy peach? This is a fruit that has been kept fresh at low temperatures. It's very sweet."
Kassa's throat moved subconsciously, and she looked at Li Lin beside her with longing.
"Water and shade for you, sir... or madam?" the vendor greeted cautiously.
"Yes, sir." Li Lin controlled the power armor and unfolded the visor. "I will give you water and shade."
Seeing that Li Lin was quite friendly, the vendor immediately started to flatter him:
"You must be from Piltover, right? Two months ago, I saw Hextech armor just like yours on the street!"
Li Lin smiled and didn't expose his little lie.
He has currently only built specialized power armor for himself and Kassadin, and they arrived in Shurima two months ago.
The armor he made for the elite law enforcement officers guarding Piltover that could be equipped with energy crystals was very different from his own.
Li Lin casually picked up a peach from the stall that looked passable and took a look at it. "How much is it?"
"One peach for 10 silver sands..." the vendor quoted an astonishing price.
As if he saw the surprise that flashed across Kasa's face, he immediately explained:
“Sir, the price is actually not expensive at all. We pick the fruits from Kumangla in Kumanggu, keep them fresh in Hex refrigerators, and send them all the way south to here.
"Besides the labor costs for picking peaches, hiring mercenaries and bodyguards to escort us along the way also costs a lot of money, not to mention that these Hextech devices require Hexcube batteries.
"In Piltover, one battery costs five silver wheels, which translates to 25 silver sands! It's not easy for us to transport such fresh fruit here..."
Listening to the vendor's endless complaints, Li Lin felt a little amused.
I haven't said anything yet, why are you so anxious?
"This is too expensive! The most expensive peach my dad bought was only two silver sands each!"
Kasa could tell at a glance that the vendor had exaggerated the price and didn't want Li Lin to be taken advantage of, even though he knew that he was not short of money at all.
"Little girl, look where the fruit is now? All I have here are peaches from Kumangla. Do you know where Kumangla is? It's south of Piltover! You think it's too expensive, and so do I!"
“But, but…”
Little Kasa obviously doesn't have much life experience. She has only seen her parents bargaining, but has never done it herself.
After being verbally abused by the vendor, she visibly looked at a loss.
"Really, my peach..."
Seeing that the vendor wanted to talk more, Li Lin waved his hands to stop him: "Stop, stop, that's enough... I haven't said anything yet."
"Uh... I'm very sorry, sir." He was afraid that Li Lin would be angry, so he quickly apologized.
After all, he had these boxes of peaches for more than a week, and he had only sold a few.
It's obvious that the little girl today likes eating peaches very much, and it's obvious that the young man who can afford to wear Hextech armor has a lot of money.
In order to make up for his possible losses, he deliberately raised the price a lot.
He still has a family to support, so this money is crucial...
But now, he felt a little regretful.
If it were cheaper, they might not be so hesitant to buy it, right?
Just as the vendor was hesitating whether to lower the price, Li Lin finally said, "Are your peaches too expensive?"
Oh no! I've been discovered...
The vendor panicked and was about to explain when Li Lin interrupted him with his next words:
"I understand your desire to make up for your losses, but I'm not ignorant of the market. At this time of year, your peach is only worth three or four silver sands at most, right? And you sold it to me for 10."
The vendor's face grew paler and paler, and he thought that he could no longer do business this time.
"But, you look like Ionian to me, don't you? Did you flee the war to Piltover and start a transnational caravan business?"
After hearing what Li Lin said, the vendor was slightly stunned and nodded subconsciously, not understanding what he wanted to express.
"Since we are all Ionians, shouldn't we embarrass our compatriots?"
"...You, you're right." The vendor lowered his head, looking very embarrassed. "The market price of this peach is 3 silver sands, but its quality is not good. I can only sell it for 2.5 silver sands at most..."
A look of indignation flashed across Kasa's face, "How could you..."
She had just opened her mouth to say a few words when Li Lin's big hand had already touched her shoulder-length purple hair, interrupting her words of complaint.
"Okay, I'll give you 10 gold seas, and you deliver all your fruits, including these Hex coolers, to Werner Bonso's mansion."
Kasa: “??!”
Merchant: “!!!”
