Chapter 436 Buying the Jewel, Price Increase
Ji Xinghan looked at the white orb worth 10 gold coins and couldn't resist trying it again.
[Identity mismatch, purchase not permitted!]
The same message still appears.
Seeing Ji Xinghan clicking around again, the little bird became unhappy. It flapped its wings and circled around Ji Xinghan, shouting hoarsely, "Chirp chirp, I won't buy it, it's not worth it, you fool!"
Ji Xinghan: ...
She turned around: "Not even worth 10 gold coins?"
The bird spreads its wings: "Oh no, oh no, it's going to explode!"
Um?
Ji Xinghan raised her hand, letting the little bird perch on it, and quietly asked, "Will it explode?"
Little bird: "Chirp chirp!"
The shop door opened and a person walked in, saying as they went, "I'm telling you, if you let me buy, the price will be absolutely right, I... Ah? Sister Ji!"
The man's eyes lit up when he saw Ji Xinghan.
It's Zhang Xiaoxiao.
She was followed by more than a dozen people.
Zhang Xiaoxiao abandoned the dozen or so people and rushed to Ji Xinghan, saying happily, "Sister Ji, you're here too? Hehe, let me tell you, I have the blessing of the Golden Bee, so I can buy things at the shops for half the price."
Ji Xinghan pointed to the vending machine he had just used: "Okay, give it a try~"
Zhang Xiaoxiao immediately went to refresh the page and just then saw the white orb that Ji Xinghan had just been looking at.
Ji Xinghan checked the price: 50 gold coins!
She pondered to herself, so the original price of the pearl was 100 gold coins, but after receiving multiple blessings from the golden bee, it was discounted to 10 gold coins.
As for Zhao Qingyuan, she was cursed, so her price is 10 times higher?
That makes sense.
Zhang Xiaoxiao happily bought things. She had limited gold coins, but she bought enough in 10 minutes.
Seeing Zhang Xiaoxiao grinning foolishly, Ji Xinghan's heart stirred.
Zhang Xiaoxiao's skill is "reading between the lines," which allows her to observe not only players but also small animals.
So she tugged at Zhang Xiaoxiao.
Ji Xinghan deliberately carried the little bird, intending to take it outside, but when they reached the door, the little bird flew up, fluttering and saying, "Chirp chirp, I can't go out, I can't go out!"
Not going out?
Still can't get out?
Ji Xinghan had no choice but to come back, pull Zhang Xiaoxiao to a quiet corner, and point at the little bird: "Use your skills and see what happens to it."
Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyes widened immediately, and after a moment she said, "Baozhu is a kind of bird with special abilities. It's cute and pretty, and it likes all kinds of snacks, especially sunflower seeds... Um, the female bird was originally raised by an NPC, but she got lost later."
Precious pearl?
Ji Xinghan was overjoyed; it really was a precious pearl!
Comparatively, she was more convinced that this was the real jewel she was looking for.
However, you can't rely on intuition alone; you have to confirm it.
Ji Xinghan carefully recalled Zhang Xiaoxiao's words.
He stroked the little bird and whispered, "Do you want to find your owner?"
The little bird spread its wings: "Chirp chirp, looking for my master, my master, Xiaoxue, looking for Xiaoxue!"
Light snow?
Isn't that the little bird next to the old man?
Ji Xinghan looked at the little bird carefully. In fact, this little bird was quite similar to Xiaoxue, and they had many similarities.
She asked, "Is Xiaoxue all white, and does she especially love to eat?"
The little bird exclaimed excitedly, "Chirp, chirp, hungry, hungry, hungry, Little Snow is hungry!"
Okay, confirmed!
Ji Xinghan felt relieved; this must be the crucial "precious pearl"!
She then pointed to the white bead in the vending machine and asked the little bird, "Where is this? Is it yours?"
The little bird shook its head: "Chirp, no, it's fake!"
Ji Xinghan took out a handful of melon seeds and held them in his hand. The little bird immediately started pecking happily, cracking open the melon seeds with a "snap," throwing away the shells, and eating the kernels.
His movements were incredibly practiced. Ji Xinghan was feeding the birds while browsing the chat channel when he happened to see someone going crazy.
It was an excited frenzy.
Xiang Fengtian: "Hahahaha, hahahaha, my luck is off the charts! Hahahaha, I killed a giant golden python and got 3,000 gold coins! Hahaha, I'm rich! I'm rich!"
Xiang Fengtian: "Alliance Leader, I earned you 3000 gold coins, hahaha!"
Jin Baiwan: "Tch, gold coins can't be traded. You can't give Zhao Qingyuan the 3,000 you earn!"
Xiang Fengtian: "Then I can buy healing chambers, buy several healing chambers, and give them to the alliance leader. I can also buy a lot of potions and give them to the alliance leader. I can buy a lot of cards and give them to the alliance leader. I can buy... hehehehe!"
Jian Lin: "Buy a simp and give him to the Alliance Leader!"
Jin Baiwan: "That's him!"
Xiang Fengtian: "I know you're all going crazy with jealousy, hahaha, I'm the luckiest person today, hahaha, 3000 gold coins, even Ji Xinghan doesn't have 3000 gold coins, hahaha!"
Ji Xinghan glanced at it twice and then closed the chat channel.
It's so noisy it hurts my eyes!
She tapped the little bird's head: "I want to take you away to find Xiaoxue, okay?"
The little bird excitedly flapped its wings: "Let's go!"
Ji Xinghan supported it: "Okay, let's go together!"
She led the little bird to the door, and the bird tilted its head, saying, "Chirp chirp, buy, buy!"
Ji Xinghan was taken aback: "Buy what?"
The little bird flew up, grabbed Ji Xinghan's sleeve, and led her to the vending machine. Then it pecked at her several times, and an interface appeared.
[Baozhu: The Snowman's pet, with special abilities!]
[Price: 10 Gold Coins!]
[Remaining Quantity: 1] [Purchase]
Ji Xinghan suddenly realized that they still needed to make a purchase.
Moreover, to purchase the "precious pearl," one must personally operate the pearl!
No wonder others can't see it.
Okay, she's now 100% sure this is the "jewel" she's been looking for!
Ji Xinghan readily paid.
Purchase successful!
【You can now leave with the precious pearl!】
Ji Xinghan walked out of the shop with Baozhu. After taking only two steps, she saw Zhao Qingyuan striding towards her.
She glanced at Ji Xinghan, her expression changed, and she rushed into the shop.
It seems they've raised enough money.
Ji Xinghan's eyes darted around, and he said to Baozhu, "You play outside for a while, I'll come back to find you later."
Zhang Xiaoxiao happened to be nearby, so she gave Zhang Xiaoxiao a handful of melon seeds to feed Baozhu, and then went back to the shop.
Zhao Qingyuan tapped away at the vending machine, then suddenly his face turned ashen.
Ji Xinghan looked over.
[White Orb: A seemingly insignificant white orb, yet its power is immeasurable!]
[Price: 4000 Gold Coins!]
[Remaining quantity: 1!]
Good heavens!
Ji Xinghan's eyes widened. The price had gone up again, this time to 4,000 gold coins, a fourfold increase!
No wonder Zhao Qingyuan's face looked so lifeless.
This must be despair!
Ji Xinghan took two steps back to a corner closer to Zhao Qingyuan, turned her back to him, and deliberately lowered her voice to say, "Zhao Qingyuan doesn't have enough gold coins. Sister, is my identity ready yet? As long as the identity is good enough, I can buy the pearl immediately."
"What? Wait another half hour?"
"Sister, you have to hurry! I'm worried Zhao Qingyuan will buy the pearl. I have a blessing; buying the pearl only costs 10 gold coins. The only thing missing is the right status. Hurry up!"
"15 minutes? Okay, I'll wait!"
Ji Xinghan muttered to himself for a long time, then turned around with a happy expression.
She saw Zhao Qingyuan's ashen face.
