Chapter 35 Thanks
Meng Qingyin turned her gaze to Achen.
Achen felt her gaze and struggled to look away from the Night Demon's Heart, meeting Meng Qingyin's eyes: "Have you made your choice?"
“No,” Meng Qingyin shook her head, clutching the Night Demon Heart tightly in her hand. “I feel like I’m at a disadvantage.”
Ah Chen: "How could I be at a disadvantage? My asking price isn't expensive at all."
Meng Qingyin suddenly asked, "Do you think other players have the Heart of the Night Demon?"
Ah Chen was taken aback, his expression somewhat unnatural, "Maybe not..."
Meng Qingyin nodded: "That's right. Since the Heart of the Night Demon is so precious, aren't I losing out by exchanging it for just one item?"
You must defeat the Night Demon to obtain the Heart of the Night Demon.
Other players, unaware of the Night Demon's strength, dared not venture into the darkness to kill it.
She was almost certain that she was the only one in District 30 who possessed the Heart of the Night Demon.
It's the only one of its kind in the entire region, so you can imagine how precious it is.
Ah Chen hesitated, then asked tentatively, "How many items do you want?"
Meng Qingyin was secretly delighted, but her face remained calm: "Five items."
"Impossible!" Ah Chen refused outright. "There's never been such a precedent! Although the Night Demon Heart was valuable in the early stages, it wasn't that valuable!"
Ah Chen's refusal was so quick and decisive that Meng Qingyin knew in her heart that the five goods were out of the question.
Adhering to the principle of bargaining, she said, "Then four items."
Ah Chen shook his head again, "Impossible! You don't need to test me anymore. I'll only let you choose two items at most!"
Meng Qingyin asked in disappointment, "Is there really no way to discuss this anymore?"
"No discussion!" Ah Chen crossed his arms. "I'll give you one more card at most."
Meng Qingyin accepted: "Can I choose the card myself?"
Achen: "Okay."
Meng Qingyin: "Okay, then I want to exchange the Night Demon's Heart for batteries and gasoline, and I want the Double Harvest Card."
Actually, she was a little tempted by the helmet blueprints, but when she looked at the materials needed to make it, she saw that it required shock-absorbing plastic, which she had never even seen before.
The same goes for the other blueprints; she had never seen many of the raw materials before.
Ah Chen stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, give me the Heart of the Night Demon."
Meng Qingyin gave her the Heart of the Night Demon, and the next moment, a bunch of things appeared in front of her as if by magic: batteries and gasoline, and a double reward card in her hand.
There were too many things; the trunk of the van simply couldn't hold them all.
However, with these items, she can exchange them with others for upgrade materials.
I wonder what kind of vehicle the van will be upgraded to.
Having obtained the Heart of the Night Demon, Ah Chen carefully put it away before saying to Meng Qingyin, "If you get the Heart of the Night Demon again next time, remember to look for me. I promise I'll be there whenever you call."
Meng Qingyin was taken aback. Next time?
After the novice period, Night Demon regained all her strength. How could she dare to provoke Night Demon?
However, as long as she doesn't actively provoke the Night Demon, she won't be able to obtain the Night Demon's Heart.
Will the Night Demon attack players on its own initiative?
Thinking this through, Meng Qingyin also asked the question.
Ah Chen blinked, looking completely innocent: "I don't know."
It seems there's no way to get an answer from them.
Meng Qingyin didn't press the matter. Suddenly, she remembered that she had a cream cake, so she took it out of the food storage box and placed it on top of the box.
“It’s a cake,” Ah Chen couldn’t help but swallow hard, “but don’t try to bribe me with a cake.”
Meng Qingyin chuckled: "I wasn't trying to bribe you. I'm actually a little hungry. Would you like to eat something together?"
After all, Ah Chen let her choose two items and even gave her a double reward card.
She gave her cake, which was a way of returning the favor.
Ah Chen's eyes lit up: "Really? You're going to treat me to cake?"
Meng Qingyin immediately opened the packaging and used a dagger to cut the cake into small pieces. Only then did she realize that she didn't have any extra plates to serve the cake.
Ah Chen immediately took out a plate and spoon from his backpack, "Then I won't be polite!"
As she spoke, she scooped a piece of cake from the box, took a large spoonful, and put it in her mouth.
"It's so sweet," Ah Chen said, squinting her eyes contentedly. "Eating sweets always makes me happy."
Meng Qingyin also scooped up a piece of cake and started eating. Hearing this, she nodded in agreement, "Yes, eating sweets always makes you feel better."
The two people stood side by side in front of the trunk, sharing a cake.
Achen finished the cake in a few bites, and looked at Meng Qingyin a little embarrassedly, "Can I have another piece?"
Meng Qingyin pushed the box towards her, saying, "Eat as much as you like."
Ah Chen happily served himself another piece, so delicious that he was practically dancing with joy.
The two quickly finished the cake.
Ah Chen wiped his mouth with a napkin, looking completely satisfied.
Meng Qingyin wanted to wipe her mouth, but embarrassingly found that she didn't have any napkins, only toilet paper.
Seeing this, Ah Chen handed it to her, saying, "Here, you can use it."
Meng Qingyin took it and said, "Thank you."
"I should be thanking you for treating me to cake; the cake was delicious." Ah Chen said with a smile.
"It's alright, as long as you like it." Meng Qingyin said, then suddenly remembered something, "Wait a minute, when I was looking at your goods just now, I remember there were a lot of sweets among them. Aren't you allowed to eat whatever you want?"
On the very first page, besides batteries and gasoline, there are many kinds of food, including what appears to be a cream cake.
Ah Chen sighed, "Those are the goods of traveling merchants, not mine. I can't eat them; I'll be punished."
Meng Qingyin didn't understand: "Aren't you just a traveling merchant?"
Ah Chen: "I am Ah Chen, traveling merchant is just my profession."
Meng Qingyin's mind raced. "Could you be a player too?"
Just like her, when they put on the uniform, they become highway law enforcement officers.
Once she takes off that uniform, she is truly Meng Qingyin.
Ah Chen shook his head, looking dejected. "No, I'm not the same as you. I can't tell you too much, or I'll be punished."
Meng Qingyin then stopped asking.
Ah Chen regained his energy: "Alright, I should go now. Remember what I said, if you have the Heart of the Night Demon, contact me first."
"Okay," Meng Qingyin agreed.
Ah Chen has a lot of goods. If she really gets the Night Demon Heart again, she will definitely contact Ah Chen.
"Oh right, I noticed you don't seem to have any napkins. Here's a napkin making diagram for you, as a thank you gift for the cake," Ah Chen said, taking out a making diagram.
Meng Qingyin didn't answer. "Didn't you say these goods weren't yours? Is it okay for you to give me the manufacturing blueprints?"
Achen: "It's okay, I bought it with my own trading points."
"Trading point?" Meng Qingyin guessed it might be something similar to her enforcement point.
Ah Chen didn't explain; he just gave her the paper towel manufacturing blueprints and left.
Meng Qingyin looked down at the blueprints.
[Tissue paper manufacturing blueprints: You can manufacture it after learning them.]
Tissues weren't something Meng Qingyin was in dire need of, but Achen had exchanged them for using his trading points.
Meng Qingyin smiled unconsciously.
Achen, the traveling merchant, is a very nice girl.
