Shen Zhiyi got up early, pulled up a chair and sat outside, waiting for the wandering merchant to come to her door.
However, the bard merchant arrived much later than Shen Zhiyi had expected.
The system said 7 o'clock, but it's already 9 o'clock.
The bard merchant, dressed in clothing similar to that of Europe on Earth, was a true gentleman.
He had a large bag on his back, which was probably used to carry supplies.
“Beautiful lady, hello. I am a bard merchant from afar. Please forgive my unauthorized arrival in your nebula.” The bard merchant gave Shen Zhiyi a gentlemanly bow.
Shen Zhiyi didn't want to beat around the bush and asked directly, "Are you a real bard or a fake?"
The bard merchant was slightly taken aback, then chuckled twice. He wasn't displeased by Shen Zhiyi's words; on the contrary, he found the young lady in front of him extremely interesting.
The bard merchant smiled gently and was very friendly: "Beautiful lady, are you unhappy that I'm late?"
"But it's alright, I expected this. It would be really wrong to keep Miss waiting here."
The wandering merchant took something out of the large bag behind him and presented it to Shen Zhiyi. "This is my apology gift. I hope you will accept it."
The bard merchant handed her a treasure chest, but Shen Zhiyi had no idea what was inside.
However, since it was given away for free, she naturally accepted it.
As for the real and fake bard merchants mentioned by the system yesterday, Shen Zhiyi is more inclined to believe that the one in front of her is real.
"Thank you." Shen Zhiyi smiled at him.
The bard merchant was in an even better mood. He handed Shen Zhiyi another booklet and explained, "These are the supplies I can provide for you. You can take a look."
Shen Zhiyi took the booklet and opened it. She was surprised to find that it was like opening the door to a new world.
The booklet contains a lot of information, including her Silver Moon Spear, which is also mentioned in this booklet!
There are also nebulae, food, star soil, and all sorts of other things.
However, Shen Zhiyi cautiously asked, "What do I need to trade with you?"
The bard merchant smiled and pulled a coin from his pocket. "You can use this coin to trade with me."
Upon closer inspection, Shen Zhiyi realized it was a butterfly coin.
The bard merchant continued, "This currency is called Butterfly Coin, and you should have some. One Butterfly Coin can be exchanged for 200 Pearl Coins. If you don't have enough Butterfly Coins, you can also exchange them with me for gold."
There's no need to exchange gold; she already has quite a few butterfly coins.
Shen Zhiyi looked at the booklet and decided to exchange some of the items she would need later.
After flipping through the booklet, Shen Zhiyi found the Sun Bead. One Sun Bead costs 5 Bead Coins. Shen Zhiyi did some mental calculations and decided to exchange for 20 first.
Also, exchange 20 pieces of Xuan Iron. The price of Xuan Iron is the same as that of Sun Beads.
That cost one butterfly coin.
She also lacks energy stones, but the prices in the brochure are a bit high, with one energy stone costing 10 pearl coins.
Shen Zhiyi exchanged 20, which became another Butterfly Coin.
I exchanged another ten pieces of gold and jade purple clay. The materials alone used up three butterfly coins.
After reviewing the materials, Shen Zhiyi started looking at other things. For now, the Silver Moon Spear would be enough, and with Black Wolves and the others by her side, she wouldn't change it.
Shen Zhiyi turned another page and saw the star soil above.
A piece of ordinary star soil costs 150 pearl coins, a low-grade star soil costs 300 pearl coins, and a medium-grade star soil costs 600 pearl coins, which is equivalent to three butterfly coins.
She only has 14 butterfly coins in her hand right now, and she doesn't even know what she can exchange them for.
After some deliberation, Shen Zhiyi exchanged two ordinary star soils and one low-grade star soil.
I'll definitely use intermediate-grade star soil next time.
There are eight butterfly coins left.
Shen Zhiyi looked at Xingyun again, surprised by how cheap it was.
One Nebula costs only 40 Beads, and one Butterfly Coin can be exchanged for five Nebulas.
Shen Zhiyi asked another question: "Why is your Nebula so cheap?"
The bard merchant explained, "Nebulae are worthless in interstellar space, so of course they're cheap. If you buy a lot, Miss, I can offer you a discount."
Shen Zhiyi's eyes darted around. She still had eight butterfly coins left. She would exchange them for a Nebula with four butterfly coins.
They exchanged two more butterfly coins for a thousand catties of animal feed.
Don't ask, the only answer is that she's poor.
It cost a total of 12 butterfly coins. The bard merchant put the items in a bag and handed it to Shen Zhiyi.
"As we just agreed, you only need to pay me ten butterfly coins and 100 pearl coins."
Shen Zhiyi took out eleven butterfly coins: "Will you give me change?"
The bard smiled and said, "Of course, it would be my honor to serve such a beautiful lady."
"However, do you need blind boxes? I have a new batch of blind boxes that just arrived. I wonder if you would be interested?"
Shen Zhiyi became interested, "How much is one blind box?"
"Ten coins per blind box".
"Then give me ten blind boxes, so I don't have to give you change."
Shen Zhiyi placed the butterfly coins in the hands of the wandering merchant.
The bard merchant took out ten blind boxes of different sizes from his large bag and placed them on the nebula.
Shen Zhiyi was stunned, wondering how he managed to fit so many things in that big bag.
"Thank you for the transaction. It's getting late, so I won't bother you any longer." The bard merchant gave another gentlemanly bow.
Shen Zhiyi got what she wanted and was in a good mood, waving happily to the wandering merchant.
Just as the wandering merchant was about to step out of Shen Zhiyi's nebula, he seemed to remember something, turned around, and took out an envelope from his breast pocket.
"I almost forgot, beautiful lady, I feel we are destined to meet, so I would like to invite you to my ball. I look forward to your presence."
Shen Zhiyi accepted the envelope from the wandering merchant; she was somewhat interested in the ball.
What if we can get some extra benefits?
The bard merchant seemed to know what Shen Zhiyi was thinking and suggested, "There will be other merchants at the ball, and lots of delicious food. I think you'll enjoy it."
Since he has already said that, Shen Zhiyi felt that asking a couple more questions wouldn't be too much to ask, right?
"Can I take it with me?"
The bard merchant was amused by Shen Zhiyi's words and laughed out loud. "I am very honored by your liking."
The bard didn't answer Shen Zhiyi's question directly, but Shen Zhiyi felt that the subtext of his words was yes, and suddenly began to look forward to the ball.
After the wandering merchant left, Shen Zhiyi opened the envelope. Inside was an invitation, and surprisingly, her name was written on it.
The date inside was two months from now, which was still a long time, so she just tossed it into her backpack and figured she'd deal with it later.
Shen Zhiyi merged the 20 nebulae she had acquired into her own nebula, which greatly increased its area.
I put the star soil on it again, and I'll see what else to plant after lunch.
