Thanks to these three clueless guys, after instantly eliminating them and establishing his reputation, Chen Hao could feel that many of the malicious gazes had disappeared.
No one was tactless enough to cause him any trouble along the way.
Using the memories of people who had been to Lanarita that he had copied, Chen Hao found a shop that sold slaves.
This shop not only sells slaves, but also illegal contraband and openly prohibited alchemical drugs and magical artifacts.
It's considered one of the more famous slave shops, selling mostly high-end goods. Those who come here are generally wealthy tycoons, powerful adventurers, or nobles of high status.
To ensure guests' comfort, the store is spacious and beautifully decorated, with a touch of simplicity amidst the luxury.
Furthermore, there are numerous bodyguards in the store. Their presence is to prevent the high-priced goods handled here from being stolen, to prevent any demi-humans from escaping, and to handle any dirty work.
The demi-humans captured from various places are selected in batches. The high-quality ones are sent here for training, while the ordinary or even inferior ones are sent to other slave shops of a lower level for training and sale.
After Chen Hao entered the store, an elderly shop assistant also noticed him.
He was probably only 14 or 15 years old. Although he was quite good-looking, his clothes were very ordinary in style and of average quality. He didn't look like the son of a wealthy man or nobleman, nor did he look like a powerful adventurer.
Well, he's probably just a kid who came in out of curiosity and wanted to take a look. We can just get rid of him easily.
The elderly shop assistant thought this way, but out of professional ethics, he still went up to her and gave her a professional smile.
"Welcome, sir. What would you like to purchase?"
The shop assistant addressed him as "you," and although his expression was alright, Chen Hao could notice that his eyes were extremely perfunctory and impatient.
Are they treating me like some penniless kid wandering around aimlessly?
Chen Hao was dumbfounded. Why do people nowadays judge others based on their clothes?
When I live in the wild, I naturally dress in whatever is cheap and comfortable. It's not like I can't afford expensive clothes.
"I'll just take a look around first."
Chen Hao ignored him and casually glanced around. The first floor of the shop was filled with various stolen goods and illegal drugs, as well as magical items made using forbidden methods. After scanning the items with his [Elf Eye] to assess their effects, he focused his gaze on a pair of jet-black bracelets and showed interest.
From the perspective of the [Elf's Eye], traces of a cursed spell can be seen on it.
The shop assistant next to him noticed Chen Hao's apparent interest in the magical item, and while his expression was slightly mocking, he still offered a professional introduction from behind:
"These bracelets are the culmination of a master alchemist's efforts; they are very expensive. Sir, can you afford them?"
The product's effects weren't described in detail, and even the price wasn't mentioned. In the shop assistant's opinion, this poor young man couldn't possibly afford it.
"That's interesting... Let me explain the specific effects later. Don't worry, I have money."
Chen Hao reached his right hand, which was wearing a storage ring, inside his collar and, concealed by his clothing, took out a cloth bag from the storage ring.
He casually tossed it to the shop assistant, who caught it with a crisp sound. The purse looked to be made of decent material and was quite heavy. He wondered if it contained gold or silver.
The shop assistant opened the money bag and looked inside. It was full of gleaming gold coins. His expression immediately changed, and he beamed with joy.
"Oh, esteemed guest, I am very sorry for my rudeness just now. I hope you can forgive my mistake. Now, let me introduce the effects of this pair of cursed bracelets to you."
"These cursed bracelets are based on the principles of cursed spells and were made by an alchemist by imitating the shackles used in the prisons of large kingdoms to escort powerful adventurers."
"Of these two cursed bracelets, one of them is cursed with the [Weakness Curse], which will weaken the wearer to the level of an ordinary person in terms of both physical strength and power."
"The curse on the other bracelet is the [Magic-Suppressing Curse]. The wearer will be unable to sense or mobilize the magic power in their body, let alone construct magic spells."
"Moreover, both bracelets have the effect of absorbing the wearer's magic power to power themselves, and their size can be adjusted by inputting magic power to activate the built-in alchemical magic rune switch inside the bracelet, adjusting the shape to tighten according to the wearer's wrist size."
"Even powerful adventurers or magicians are absolutely unable to break free on their own after wearing these cursed bracelets, and can only be slaughtered by others."
"You can get it by paying 50 gold coins."
The shop assistant smiled and quoted a price. To be honest, the price was reasonable. Although 50 gold coins was money that an ordinary person would have to work for several years without eating or drinking to save, it was nothing to wealthy people and adventurers with strong earning abilities.
But Chen Hao refused to acknowledge it. He withdrew his gaze, turned to face the shop assistant, and chuckled:
"50 gold coins? I don't think it's worth that much. After all, it's just a failed imitation."
"Your wording is good, and you've explained all the functions, but the actual effects are somewhat different from what you said."
"The effect of a curse on a person will fluctuate depending on the person's magic resistance. If the person's magic resistance is too high, the effect of the curse may be weakened."
