Even if the "servants" cursed the beautiful woman in their hearts, they still had to cooperate and put on a perfect fake smile of honor and obedience on the surface.
Fortunately, they were not about to perform a show, so they still had time to think about what they were good at, even though such thinking might be useless.
"Meigui, what do you want? Food or drink, energy stones, or weapons or armor?"
"Old Eight, come over here and introduce the items in the First Trading House to our Da Meigui. Just introduce the ones that are useful, and start with the most expensive!"
Brother-in-law Scallop waved his hand, and a strange creature behind him, whose upper body was normal but whose lower body had eight legs and was obviously an octopus, walked to the center of the luxurious private room at an extremely fast speed on his eight legs.
"Hehe! Don't worry, Boss! I'll definitely introduce the best treasures to you in the most detailed and beautiful language! Hehehehe, Boss, just seeing you and Boss sitting together is even more beautiful!"
Wu Xiangwang looked at the strange octopus that was standing on three legs and had its other five claws twisted together and rubbing against each other, and pressed his eyebrows in unbearable pain.
He remembered that the "Handbook of Weird and Fierce Creatures" seemed to include the blue-ringed octopus and the box jellyfish, two highly poisonous multi-tentacle creatures. If he also had so many extra legs when he transformed into these two creatures in the future, he would rather skip these two beasts directly.
He could barely accept wings or multiple shells growing from his back, but if his lower body had a few more tentacle-like legs...
Stop thinking! That scene is so beautiful that he dare not even think about it!
"Hahahaha, Lao Ba, stop talking nonsense~ Meimei isn't your sister-in-law yet! I'm still pursuing her!"
Wu Xiangwang was brought back to his senses by the strange "Meimei" from the scallop next to him. He gave his brother-in-law Scallop a fake smile and said, "My name is Wu Xiangwang, not Meimei."
Scallop Weird was delighted at the scene: "So, Meigui, you have such a nice and unique name! Oh, then should I call you Wuwu, Xiangxiang, or Wangwang?"
"Xiangxiang is the best! Just by hearing your name, you know that you are beautiful and fragrant!"
Don’t forget each other: “…”
God damn, she’s so beautiful and fragrant, I might as well call her Meimei!
Just when Wu Xiangxiang was about to lose control of herself and shoot the troublesome scallop to death with a poison arrow, the octopus over there finally started to introduce the products of the trading house.
"Sister-in-law..."
"Call me Mr. Wu."
Wu Xiangwang shot Ba Zhua a look, and he felt a strange chill all over his body, and immediately changed his words obediently:
"Hello, Mr. Wu. Now, shall I begin my introductions?"
Wu Xiangwang then leaned back slightly, one slender leg draped over the other, his arm, studded with gemstone fragments and shells, resting on his chin as he nodded gently, "Go ahead. Let's start with the basics."
The octopus looked at the beautiful creature sitting on the sofa and looking at its conch shell, and suddenly felt nervous and a little excited.
If Octopus had the opportunity to find a job on Earth, he would know that what he is feeling now is called an "interview."
The octopus strangely stood up straight on all seven legs, and the remaining leg began to swipe across the Yuannucleus energy trading screen in the air.
"Then let's start from the basics!"
"Actually, most trading houses sell similar items, but in our Carnival City, the items in the First Trading House are the most comprehensive and of the best quality."
"Although some items may be a little expensive, we are the only First Trade House that guarantees authenticity!"
"Then the items sold in the trading house are divided into three categories."
As Bazhu said this strangely, he tapped the screen several times with his claws. Wu Xiangwang and Shang Chong and others standing by the wall saw the three categories appearing on the large screen in the middle -
[Raw Materials], [Energy Gems], [Battle Items]
The flesh-colored tentacle with a small suction cup at the tip first touched the raw material.
Many items such as "first-level logs", "second-level bloodthirsty vines", "first-level weasel claws" and so on suddenly appeared on the light screen.
"Raw materials are materials that can be used to make tools. This category has the most and most diverse items. You can find food, drinks, daily necessities, and even completely useless things here, Mr. Wu."
When Octopus Weird said this, he suddenly chuckled twice and raised several of his tentacles: "I even sold a few of my legs when I was short of money!
I'm not exaggerating, my legs are fresh, chewy, and nutritious. They're delicious raw, but roasted and twice as delicious! Every time I sell them, people rush to buy them!
"Well, but during the night party, there are always people who don't want to pay the energy coins and bite my legs."
When Bazhu Weiyi said this, the innocent smile on his face suddenly turned into a sly smile: "But those blind guys were eventually chopped into pieces by me and became my delicious midnight snack!"
"So, I love Carnival Night! I love Carnival City! Carnival City is the only city with the most freedom! Unlike other main cities, there are so many annoying rules for killing people and ghosts!"
When Wu Xiangwang heard this, a trace of deep thought flashed across his eyes, and the newlyweds standing by the wall also exchanged glances.
So were they unlucky to end up in the Carnival City, where people could kill at will at night, in their first main city? If they went to another main city, would there be no strange and random killings at night, and would they be safer in completing their mission?
"Go on. Let's not talk about irrelevant nonsense from now on, okay?"
The octopus was strangely holding up its claws to show the freshness of its legs and feet. After hearing this, it immediately retracted its tentacles and gave a concise and clear introduction as required.
"The raw materials in the trading house are divided into 1-3 primary, 4-6 intermediate, and 7-9 advanced levels according to the energy value contained in the materials. The higher the level of the material, the more energy it contains and the better the quality, and of course, the more expensive it is!
Just like the cloak made of crystal spider silk that you are wearing now, Mr. Wu, it is a level 5 quality item that is popular in the ten major cities and is widely loved by all kinds of beauties and monsters!
"Crystal Spider Silk itself is a high-quality, level 4 material, fireproof and windproof. Plus, it's embedded with at least a hundred level 1 energy gems along its edges. When you put it on, it sparkles in the sun and shines like stars at night!"
So, are you moved by our boss's generosity? !
Wu Xiangwang saw that the more than two hundred little eyes of the octopus monster and the scallop monster next to it were looking at him, as if waiting for his touching answer.
Unfortunately, the immortal man has a heart of stone.
"Oh, please continue. And please stop talking nonsense, okay?"
The octopus is weird: "!!!"
Scallop brother-in-law: “!!!”
"Xiangxiang, you're a little aloof, but I like you so much, woooo!"
"Hurry up and give me a brief introduction from now on, and don't talk nonsense anymore!"
The octopus rubbed its claws strangely and nodded obediently: "Okay, okay, I understand."
"After [Raw Materials], it's [Energy Gems] and [Combat Items].
[Energy Gems] include two types: Strange Cores and Natural Energy Stones. Both can be used to create Energy Coins, upgrade Stranges, and even allow your servants, Mr. Wu, to increase their power levels.
"But if it's a strange evolution, it's best to use a strange core, which is closer to the original power. The energy of natural energy stones is purer, but they always taste bland."
"However, natural energy stones are still rarer and more expensive in the trading house. After all, strange things are everywhere, while natural energy gems can only be found in extremely dangerous places where energy converges."
Wu Xiangwang finally felt like he had gotten some useful information after hearing this. He tapped his fingers lightly and asked, "So, Moonstone, Firestone, Skystone, Oceanstone, do you know about these gems? Or are they sold here?"
The expression on Bazhua's weird face became more shocked as Wu Xiangwang named each gem, and by the end it was a little numb.
He suddenly glanced at his boss with an inexplicable look of pity, and under the stares of hundreds of eyes, he answered honestly: "Sister-in-law, are you kidding us?"
"The Sky Gems and Ocean Gems are the most precious treasures of Sky City and Deep Sea City. They are unique in the world and cannot be sold at all.
Moonstones and Firestones aren't unique, but the appearance of energy gems like those, which are at least level eight after they're formed, triggers a bizarre frenzy of pursuit and snatching. I remember the last Moonstone to appear was at the Royal Capital Auction, where it sold for 100 million Energy Coins.
The big snail who was drinking water choked and coughed several times when he heard this, causing hundreds of little eyes of the scallop brother-in-law to look at him worriedly.
"One hundred million? Energy coins?"
Octopus nodded curiously, "Yeah, I heard the price increased tenfold. But... I heard the gem didn't seem to be sold in the end."
"Why? Did the buyer run out of money?"
The octopus shook its head strangely, "No, it was said that during the delivery, it was discovered that the gem was a fake, and the real Moonstone was stolen!"
"Poof! Cough cough cough!"
Wu Xiangwang was choked again. "Can things be stolen in the capital? Are the security guards there just for free?"
The eight-clawed ghost rubbed his paws in agreement. "Yes, yes. That's what the great merchant count cursed me back then. But it's stolen. The Chengdu Auction House went back to look for the adventurous ghost who offered the moonstone, but he was out of stock.
So the matter was left unresolved, but the great merchant Count still announced that he would catch the damned trickster who stole the Moonstone and grind his essence into powder to make tea.
Don’t forget each other: “…”
He now finally understood why that damned gorgeous weirdness reminded him not to embed the two gems in the snail shell hut to upgrade it.
If this were truly embedded, he would be hunted down by ghosts all over the world! He might even become a wanted criminal in the capital.
Wu Xiangwang: "Haha."
There really isn't a good thing about being weird! Pah! The gifts are all filthy!
"So, sister-in-law, ahem, Mr. Wu, don't be so demanding. Those top-tier gemstones are only available to extremely wealthy merchant ghosts, demon ghosts, and noble ghosts. But those ghosts have bad tempers, are unpredictable, and their tastes are always changing. It's better to find an ordinary, wealthy, second-generation ghost and live a happy life together!"
Scallop's brother-in-law nodded repeatedly beside him. "He is that ordinary, wealthy, second-generation ghost!"
His brother-in-law is the city lord and is rich, so if you round it up, he is rich!
"Xiangxiang, look! This level three aquamarine is pretty good! I'll give it to you for 10,000 energy coins~"
Wu Xiangwang looked at the aquamarine energy gem, which was obviously several levels lower than the moonlight gem and the flame gem. The color, brightness and clarity were not very good, and he suddenly felt a little disgusted.
This must be that gorgeous, sinister guy's plot! He must be trying to secretly raise his standards and get him to dance with him to earn gems!
"Thank you, Brother Bei, but I won't need it. Although I'm down and out and stranded here, and I'm in urgent need of gemstones to upgrade... I can't just take your things for nothing.
That would make me look like a greedy, selfish shrew.”
Luo Meigui raised her chin slightly, and said with pride and a hint of vulnerability, "Although every weirdo is greedy and selfish, I don't want to use this greed and selfishness on you."
"Also, maybe you will laugh at me. Although my current strength is not strong, I want to become the most beautiful and powerful ghost through my own efforts!"
Brother-in-law Scallop looked at the beautiful ghost who was looking at the sky outside the window with a firm gaze, as if his whole body was glowing, and felt that his soul was shocked and moved by Him!
Oh my god, Xiangxiang doesn’t even want his money!
Oh my god, Xiangxiang still wants to become strong and beautiful through her own efforts! !
Oh my god! He had never seen such a pure, kind, strong, brave, and unpretentious beauty before!
Xiang Xiang is different from those other slutty bitches who only want his money!!
"Xiangxiang! Xiangxiang, I support you! Xiangxiang, I understand you too!! If you don't want the energy gem, then don't want it. Xiangxiang, you will definitely be able to find the gem with your own ability!
But you must wear the crystal cloak! You'll have to rely on yourself outside. What if the wind gets too strong and blows you away? I'll give you a few more bottles of healing medicine and some easy-to-carry energy food later!
Don't refuse it. It's a gift from me, a reflection of my care for you. It's not something you can covet!"
"If you don't accept it, you're rejecting my heart!"
Lady Snail frowned slightly when she heard this, but in the end, she looked at the two hundred sincerely expectant eyes of her brother-in-law Scallop, and finally accepted it with a sigh.
"Okay... I can't refuse your heart. But, this is just once. I can't give it to you anymore."
Scallop's brother-in-law suddenly became happy: "Hahaha, just accept it, hahaha, no more, no more, not today!"
But there is still tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. He can meet the beautiful doll every day, hahahaha!
Looking at this scallop who was smiling like a fool, the newcomers leaning against the wall had extremely complicated expressions.
Is this still the same ferocious creature downstairs that killed people instantly with hundreds of eyes?! Maybe Wangwang ate his brain?!
The beauty trap is so terrifying!
"Well, the last one is [Battle Items]. I don't need to introduce this, it's for combat.
But humans tend to buy more of these items. Monsters only buy weapons and armor if they need to protect special weaknesses, or if their own weapons haven't been working well or they've been injured recently. Most of the time, we ourselves are our most powerful weapons and strongest armor!!"
"Weapons and armor are also divided into levels 1-9 according to the level of crafting and refining, but I say again, these things are really useless against weirdness."
Wu Xiangwang smiled subtly when he heard this. That’s not necessarily true. At least the one with the weird antenna bought a defensive hat to wear, right?
At this point, Bazhuaguiyi had finished introducing the basic trading products of the trading house. It was almost noon and time to start lunch.
Brother-in-law Scallop immediately winked at the other slender, pointy-headed weirdo behind him, and the pointy-headed weirdo immediately went out to ask the trading house to prepare the most sumptuous lunch.
"Xiangxiang~ I asked Jiantou to prepare a feast. Is there anything you don't like? If so, please tell me in advance and I will replace it immediately!"
"Oh, and I've also asked Jiantou to prepare food for your servants. But since you've already decided to make them your servants after they're transformed, I won't need to purify the food I prepare for them with purification stones, okay?"
"Or...Xiangxiang, do you and the others have to eat purified food?"
When he said the last sentence, the more than two hundred blue and purple little eyes of Scallop Brother-in-law appeared from all directions and stared at Wu Xiangwang from all angles.
It was as if she wanted to see his every move, every look and every micro-expression clearly.
At this moment, the hearts of the newcomers standing by the wall suddenly started beating wildly. Even Shang Chong, who was the most cautious, and Wang Xiao, who was the most calm and calculating, had cold sweat on their foreheads.
This is a question that can cost you your life if you don't answer it correctly.
Wu Xiangwang was being stared at by so many small eyes in the void above, below, left and right, but he was the one with the calmest and most natural expression.
He stretched out his finger to flick away a little eye that was about to hit him, and then looked at his scallop brother-in-law with a look that asked, "Are you crazy?"
"Of course we weirdos have to eat authentic food. What's the difference between purifying it and eating stone? Don't spoil my appetite."
"Of course my servants also need to eat unpurified food, but they are too weak now. I will just feed them some level one leftovers. If they explode directly, I won't be able to find such interesting and obedient servants."
"But I don't eat any raw food except seafood. I'm a bit of a germaphobe. The meat of land animals smells earthy if it's not cooked."
Those two hundred or so little eyes stared at Wu Xiangwang intently for a while, and then Scallop's brother-in-law started grinning foolishly again:
"Hehehe, Xiangxiang, you and I have the same hobby! I also don't eat raw meat from land except for seafood! They really are so earthy and woody!"
"But don't worry, I'm treating you! The food Tiptoe prepared will satisfy you! And it'll give you plenty of energy!"
As Scallop's brother-in-law finished speaking, the door of the VIP box was opened.
Several enchanting snake ladies came in carrying exquisite trays, and placed plates of food that looked delicious and full of energy on the dining table.
Crystal clear raw fish slices, blue prawns that can't fit on the whole plate, sizzling grilled leg meat, and porridge with colorful vegetable leaves floating on it.
The most amazing thing was that Wu Xiangwang also saw a plate of particularly chewy octopus balls. He couldn't help but take a look at the strange octopus legs.
Not a single one was missing.
It seems that it is not the leg of this octopus.
You can feel the strange energy coming from every plate of delicious food.
"Xiangxiang~ This is the most exquisite delicacy I can offer! Let's eat it together! Maybe while eating it, you can level up and evolve on the spot!"
Wu Xiangwang laughed.
You probably want to see me explode and die while eating, right?
At this time, Shang Chong and Wu Xingyun, who were standing by the wall, could no longer suppress the anxiety in their eyes, but the weirdness in this room was something they could not overcome even if they tried their best.
It was not until this time that the newcomers realized the other hidden pit in the beauty mission - those foods containing strange high energy.
It’s okay to eat unpurified baked eggs, but what about the unpurified meat of second-level, third-level, or even fourth-level strange beasts?
Even a fool knows there is a big problem!
However, just as they were anxiously trying to find a solution, they heard the voice of Wu Xiangwang.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's eat. I'm really hungry too, so I won't let the servants put on a show."
Everyone: “…”
Why don't you let us perform a show to buy you some time? !
