The orc was a professional reseller. He was tall but not strong, with long limbs and a pair of shrewd eyes that rolled around.
Mo Qin strongly suspected that he was a primate.
He looked Mo Qin up and down, and said with a smile:
"Are you the female Wu was talking about? My name is Lao Qian, nice to meet you!"
Lao Qian...making money?
Mo Qin thought the name was well chosen and sounded very wealthy.
"My name is Moqin, hello."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then got down to business.
While Lao Qian turned around to look for something, Mo Qin took a look at Lao Qian's stall.
The stalls at the market are all temporary stalls. They usually just spread animal skins on the ground and start selling things as soon as they are put out.
Lao Qian’s stall is no exception.
A black rectangular animal skin was placed on the dry yellow ground, with some strange things placed on it. There was even a skull of an unknown animal in the corner.
At the right rear of the stall was a cage about the height of a person and covered with animal skins.
Lao Qian found the thing quickly.
"Look, is this what you're looking for?"
The triangular stone was wrapped in a small piece of soft animal skin.
It was the same size and shape as the one Mo Qin had seen before, but only one edge was wavy.
A sun pattern is engraved in the center of the triangle.
Mo Qin touched it and confirmed that it was correct.
Apart from anything else, the wave gap can be matched.
"This should be it. How much is it?"
Lao Qian is indeed a money-maker, he just opens his mouth and says:
"I searched several places before I found it. Even after I found it, the other party wasn't willing to sell it. But considering that it was Wu who asked me to find out about it, I put in a lot of effort..."
In the end, it all comes down to one goal, which is to make more money.
"We've known each other for so many years, I won't ask for more from you. How about a flat price of ten wolf coins?"
Different ethnic groups have different currencies, and these currencies can be exchanged with each other, but the exchange rate fluctuates slightly.
Generally speaking, the more powerful the race, the more valuable its currency.
Wolf Clan currency ranks high.
Mo Qin looked at the stone in her hand with regret:
"So expensive? Forget it, I don't want it."
For orcs, the most valuable thing is of course food. Ten wolf coins can buy food for an adult male wolf orc for ten days.
"No more?" The smile on Lao Qian's face froze for a moment.
If you don't ask him to look for this, he will think it is some valuable item.
When he received Wu's message, he happened to be passing by a tiger tribe.
The tribe recently captured a skinny, defective male beast that couldn't transform. This thing was carried by that orc.
He saw that the male animal was fair-skinned and handsome, so he bought it at a low price, and the stone was just a bargain.
Mo Qin smiled apologetically and explained to him:
"I just found a stone like this in the house. I happened to know that there were other stones like this one, so I was curious and wanted to collect them to take a look."
"I didn't expect it to be so expensive." Mo Qin thought of something and said with a look of surprise, "You still want it? If you don't let me sell my piece to you, it will only cost eight wolf coins."
Lao Qian: “…”
Do you think I'm a big loser?
Mo Qin waited for his next words with anticipation.
“Mmm…Mmm…”
The covered cage suddenly began to shake, and the thing inside seemed to be banging against the bars.
Lao Qian smiled apologetically, walked over and lifted a corner of the animal skin:
“Be quiet!”
When the things trapped inside saw him, they reacted even more violently and kept squeezing towards the place where the hide was lifted.
But his eyes were not looking at Lao Qian, but staring straight at Mo Qin.
Only then did Mo Qin see what was locked inside.
It was Fu Chaoyue who was on the same plane with them!
"Chaoyue!"
Ning Weiwei had come nearby at some point, and she recognized him at a glance.
She ran over regardless and lifted the animal skin.
Fu Chaoyue was naked at the moment and was suddenly completely exposed to the sight. He immediately curled up and covered the key parts of his body, which had many scars on it.
A vine was tied around his neck, and the other end of the vine was hung on the upper corner of the cage. He also had a muff on his mouth to prevent him from speaking.
Although Lao Qian was unhappy, he also felt that the opportunity to make money had come.
He moved two steps to the side to make room for Ning Weiwei, with a stereotyped smile on his face.
"This beautiful little he-male, are you interested in him?"
Ning Weiwei clung to the wooden cage, feeling anxious and distressed:
"Chao Yue, why are you here?"
Fu Chaoyue made two "hmm" sounds, indicating that he couldn't speak.
Ning Weiwei's eyes turned red with anxiety, and she turned around and yelled at Lao Qian:
"Let him out now! He's my friend, you can't do this to him!"
“Human trafficking is illegal!”
The surrounding orcs gathered around curiously.
Mo Qin was at the forefront of the crowd, and Fu Chaoyue never appeared in the original plot.
Yin Shu frowned, stood beside Mo Qin, and protected her tightly.
He looked at Fu Chaoyue in the cage, and then at Mo Qin.
Is this male who appeared out of nowhere also familiar with his own little female?
After all, Fu Chaoyue spoke only after hearing Mo Qin's voice at the beginning, and he was also looking at Mo Qin just now.
"What race is this orc? Why is he so skinny?"
"His skin looks so tender, even more tender than fish!"
"No orc would buy an orc like this, right? Who would buy an orc like this? That would be a waste of food!"
Among the orcs watching, no one thought there was anything wrong with buying and selling orcs.
This is very common.
When Lao Qian heard the word "friend", he was immediately happy, but he pretended to be embarrassed.
"He's your friend? What a pity! I can't let him go. He's been reserved by someone else. They're from the Lion Clan, and I can't afford to offend them."
Ning Weiwei didn't care about anything that was planned. She kept yelling at Lao Qian to release the person.
There was no intention to even pay.
Lao Qian was also a little annoyed by the noise and said bluntly:
"As long as you pay me double the price, I will sell him to you."
The things about the Lion Clan making reservations were all fake. He just heard that there was a female with a special fetish among the Lion Clan, so he wanted to try his luck.
However, it seems that this irrational female is easier to...deal with.
Ning Weiwei could only compromise, "How much?"
"Twenty-five wolf coins!"
The orcs around gasped.
Even a strong male orc who has not yet formed a bond would not cost more than ten wolf coins. How could this skinny orc, whose background is unknown, be so expensive!
Unheard of.
Ning Weiwei didn't know the prices here, but she could probably tell a thing from the reactions of the people around her.
"Can't it be cheaper?"
Lao Qian scratched his hair and pondered for a while, "Twenty-three, no less."
