The props used to deceive people were quite perfunctory.
The cost is no more than one gold coin!
Her eyes darted around. "Can you lower the price a bit? I really don't have any more money. How about 1000 gold coins?"
The old man's eyes lit up: "You really want to buy it?"
Lu Xingchen nodded: "Mm!"
She took out a small bag of gold coins, exactly 1,000, and handed it to the old man: "Want to sell? This is all I have left. If you don't want to sell, then forget it."
The old man was overjoyed: "Sell! Sell! Sell!"
He snatched the gold coins and threw the tattered book at Lu Xingchen: "Here you go, here you go, it's a cash transaction, no backing out, or I'll send you to jail!"
Lu Xingchen casually put the tattered book into his backpack.
The old man shook the bag and heard the clattering sound of gold coins inside. Tears streamed down his face. "Finally, finally, it's been several days, and finally I've been able to cheat... no, I've finally been able to make a deal..."
The old man grumbled on and on: "Those stubborn brats, one by one, they'd rather go to jail than buy my stuff. They have no conscience! Do you know how hard it is for an old man like me? I've been buying and selling all day and I've never made any money..."
Flower Lady: "Ahem, stop talking."
The old man said, "I have to say it, I absolutely have to say it! This time I was so unlucky! There was even a thief stealing from an old beggar! How despicable!"
The old man said: "You are so immoral! You even steal things from an old beggar. That's what I eat!"
Lu Xingchen's heart skipped a beat: "Grandpa, what did you lose?"
The old man glanced at her and said, "Humph, you're just eating. Forget it, I won't say anything more!"
"I can't just leave it at that," Lu Xingchen thought, "I still need to figure out how to access the Boundless Mall."
She was filled with righteous indignation: "Who are these people who are so heartless that they even steal from the people who eat!"
Old man: "Exactly! That's shameless!"
Lu Xingchen: "Yeah, that's shameless!"
The two of them stared at each other.
The old man looked at Lu Xingchen for a long time and said, "Hmm, you are a really good young man."
Lu Xingchen: ...
hey-hey!
What an innocent old man.
Lady Hua asked, "What? Can't you find out who stole it?"
The old man got angry again: "I went to find the leader of the thieves, but he denied it, saying that his thieves didn't steal anything. How is that possible? Who but a thief could steal my things so quietly?"
Lady Hua pondered for a moment: "Who else was nearby at the time?"
Lu Xingchen quickly said, "A thief who steals will definitely not admit it, right?"
The old man sneered, "I'll give him half a day. If he doesn't hand over my things before 8pm, I'll go find Mr. Ji and ask him to screen everyone in the market one by one. I don't believe he can't find it!"
Lu Xingchen: ...
That's ruthless. How will they investigate?
Is there some special method?
Lady Hua spoke up: "Isn't this going to too much trouble?"
The old man was extremely irritable: "Ten o'clock at night... huh?"
He glanced at Lu Xingchen: "You haven't left yet? Young man, if there's nothing else, you should leave now."
Knowing she couldn't stay any longer, Lu Xingchen said goodbye to the two people and left with the small fish tank in her arms.
After walking about one or two hundred meters, when they were almost at the alley entrance, she asked Little Blue Fish, "Little Fish, can you hear the conversation inside?"
Little Blue Fish: "Yes!"
Lu Xingchen: "What did they say?"
Little Blue Fish: "The old man said he doesn't have a single crystal left. The Boundless Mall will open for the last time this month at 10 PM, and he has to go in!"
Lu Xingchen: “Ah?”
Little Blue Fish: "He also said that if he finds the person who stole the iron plate, he will kill him!"
