Chapter 588 Thieves Spotted, Prices Soaring
She was a middle-aged woman, neatly dressed, and smiling.
Lu Xingchen glanced at the cotton coat in her hand. It wasn't thick; it was a medium-length robe, probably reaching below the knees, with white fur trim on the collar and cuffs.
The colors vary—red, black, yellow, orange, green, white—there are all sorts of colors available, but the styles are all the same.
Lu Xingchen glanced around and noticed that most people on the street were wearing this style of clothing.
It seems that they are not cold at all.
Gu Yanzhi had already sneezed several times, and Lu Xingchen was almost the same; neither of them could hold on any longer.
Lu Xingchen asked: "How much is one?"
The middle-aged woman smiled broadly: "Honorable guest, 3000 gold coins per piece, no cheating!"
Gao Dafu exclaimed, "What? 3000 yuan a piece? That's outrageous!"
Putting aside whether it's shady or not, where did they get 3,000 gold coins?
He and Gu Yanzhi together only have a few hundred gold coins. They came here to sell things and watch the excitement, not to spend any!
Lu Xingchen has liver pain.
The clothes are too expensive, I won't buy them!
She nudged Gao Dafu: "Come on, let's go inside and take a look!"
In her experience, stalls near the entrance are expensive and have high prices, while prices are generally cheaper inside.
She accidentally touched Gao Dafu's stomach and felt a warm sensation wash over her, warming her entire arm.
Lu Xingchen asked in surprise, "How come you're so warm?"
Gao Dafu proudly thumped his belly: "My balls can get hot, aren't you envious!"
Lu Xingchen was truly envious; her pet egg never got hot, and in fact, it got cold.
The three huddled together for warmth, squeezing in as they walked inside.
There aren't many people on the street right now, and there are only stalls nearby, with very few people setting up their stalls. Lu Xingchen guessed that it probably wasn't time yet.
The market doesn't open until noon.
The three of them walked for a long time but still couldn't find a shop selling cotton-padded clothes.
Lu Xingchen grew anxious and grabbed a kind-looking old man, asking, "Excuse me, sir, is there a cotton-padded clothing store inside?"
Old man: "Huh? What?"
Lu Xingchen: "Cotton-padded clothing store!"
Old man: "Huh? What shop?"
Lu Xingchen: "A cotton-padded coat!"
Old man: "What clothes?"
Lu Xingchen gave up.
She had only taken a few steps forward when several children suddenly jumped out.
One of the children had a round, very cute face. He grabbed her and said, "Sister, sister, where are you going? I'll take you there."
Lu Xingchen: "Take me to the cotton-padded clothing store, I'll give you 10 gold coins. Oh, right, don't go to the one near the entrance, that one's too shady!"
The child's eyes darted around: "Sister, 10 gold coins won't do, we need 100 gold coins!"
Lu Xingchen expressionlessly pulled his sleeve away: "Then it's not necessary!"
Why are prices so high in Frosty Snow Village?!
It costs 100 gold coins to guide a child!
She turned to leave, and the child quickly chased after her: "Sister, could you give me 80 gold coins?"
Lu Xingchen: "10 gold coins!"
Child: "50 gold coins!"
Lu Xingchen: "10!"
Lu Xingchen suddenly heard a game notification: [Frosty Village Thief 085 used "Empty-Handed Skill" on you; you have lost a bunch of grapes.]
Um?
Lu Xingchen's gaze sharpened as she looked at the children surrounding her.
Besides them, there were a few other people who walked past them just now. Who were they?
Gao Dafu cried out, "Ah, my sock! One of my socks is missing! Damn it, there's a thief!"
Gu Yanzhi's expression was also grim: "I lost 10 gold coins!"
Lu Xingchen's expression darkened further.
