When Bai Xing woke up in the morning, it was still dark outside the window. She glanced at the time and saw that it was already past eight o'clock, but the sky was still dark. It seemed that the train had entered the area of eternal night.
Outside the window, countless heavy snow covered the land.
Today is Sunday, but Bai Xing has already entered the dungeon once this week, and there is still enough gold in her account. She doesn't want to go in again and be involved in the intrigue and life-threatening situations.
Bai Yanran was still asleep, so Bai Xing simply entered the Source Realm again.
The city in the Source Realm seemed to have grown bigger. There seemed to be many more people in the city, coming and going, but no one was talking or chatting. The city had an atmosphere that was both lively and quiet.
Many restaurants and shops of all sizes in the city have also opened. Bai Xing walked into a shop with some curiosity.
The shop is spacious, with simple yet retro decoration and a mysterious atmosphere.
There are many display cabinets in the store, which display several unknown beautiful gem necklaces, bracelets, etc., as well as some exquisite energy shields.
Bai Xing looked at the basket of colorful gems in the small basket in front of her and suddenly remembered the legend of the dragon.
It was said that dragons had two hobbies: snatching princesses and collecting all kinds of sparkling, beautiful jewelry. The people of the Haihu tribe also liked bright and colorful things, so I thought Bai Yanran would like this too.
"Boss, what is this?"
The boss, who had been sitting calmly behind the counter, stood up gracefully upon hearing what Bai Xing was pointing at. He glanced at what Bai Xing was pointing at and said with some surprise, "I didn't expect you'd be interested in this."
The owner's voice sounded like that of an elderly person, and his tone sounded very convincing.
He cleared his throat and spoke solemnly and mysteriously, "Deep within the mysterious galaxy, there shines a unique mineral—Starlight Colored Stone."
"It's more than just a mineral; it's a small planet full of stories and magic. Each star-colored stone carries a secret of the universe, and its color, luster, and texture are full of endless charm."
"These gemstones are the essence of the universe, drawing their mystical power from distant galaxies. They are the memory of the universe, recording the birth of planets, the burning of stars, and the evolution of galaxies. Each star-colored stone holds its own unique energy and story, waiting to be discovered and interpreted by those destined to do so."
"Star stones are extremely rare, and in my small shop, I only have this small basket of them. These gems are gifts from the universe. When you wear them, you feel as if you can feel the power of the universe and the mystery of life."
The owner spread his hands. Although his face could not be seen clearly, his emotions could be felt from his passionate tone.
Bai Xing nodded in understanding: "How much does this sell for?"
The shop owner rolled his eyes and said, "Not much, not much, one hundred thousand gold coins each. But since you're a new customer and the first one to spend money today, I can give you a discount, eighty thousand gold coins each."
Bai Xing paused and looked at the owner suspiciously.
After hesitating for a moment, he quoted a price: "I am sincere in buying it, but your price is too high. How about this, I will quote a number, and if you think it's okay, I will take it away."
The shop owner laughed and said, "Little girl, you are really something. Aren't you really trying to make me lose money? Well, tell me, I want to hear it."
"Five gold coins each." Bai Xing remained calm.
The owner's face turned pale, he snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and went back behind the counter, waving his hands at her repeatedly, extremely angry.
"I can't sell it, I can't sell it. Are you here to ruin my business on purpose, little girl?"
Bai Xing blinked, feeling very regretful: "Ah? Okay then."
The owner glanced at her from under his hood every day. When he saw her give in, he was just happy, then he turned around and left without hesitation.
"Hey hey hey!" He was anxious and shouted to stop.
But Bai Xing didn't stop and walked straight out.
"Sell, sell, sell! I'll sell it! Don't leave!"
Bai Xing then turned around with a smile, calculated the gold coins needed, and transferred them to the owner with a simple transfer of her hand.
The shopkeeper snorted coldly and handed the gem to her with an unhappy look on his face.
The door to the inner room of the shop suddenly opened, and a shorter man walked out and went straight to the owner.
"Old man, I didn't find what you said. Go look for it in the warehouse yourself." It sounded like a female voice. Bai Xing was about to take the things and leave when she suddenly paused.
He asked tentatively: "Lin Yumeng?"
The man paused and immediately looked at her: "Who are you?"
Bai Xing lifted her hood a little, revealing her face.
Lin Yumeng came over in surprise: "Oh, you're not dead yet?"
Bai Xing couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard this. Lin Yumeng immediately realized that his words were a bit too harsh and quickly added.
"Too many people around me have died recently. The dungeons are getting harder and harder, and the environment outside is getting more and more dangerous. Since you usually don't make any noise, I thought you had met with an accident too."
Although they were talking about all kinds of life and death, Lin Yumeng did not look very sad.
Suddenly, she saw the small bag in Bai Xing's hand.
"Do you like these colorful stones?" She became interested and looked at Bai Xing curiously.
The owner behind the counter suddenly wiped the sweat off his face, stood up quietly, and walked towards the warehouse inside.
"yes."
"How much did you buy it for? Have you paid? I'll give you a 20% discount, 8 gold coins per pack. How about it?" Lin Yumeng asked Bai Xing with a smile.
Bai Xing glanced at the shop owner who was about to slip away, smiled, and did not expose the shop owner.
"No, I've already paid."
Lin Yumeng looked back at the shop owner who had run away, as if he understood something.
"Old man, did you overcharge her?"
The shop owner started to talk nonsense stubbornly: "Don't talk nonsense, I am the owner of this place, the price I set is the most appropriate price for the goods! Can the price quoted by the shop owner be called a rip-off?"
"How shameless! You even used it..." She paused here, but the owner was obviously a little guilty and just slipped away.
Lin Yumeng was speechless, but this was just a coincidence. She didn't mind if the old man cheated other people, but this time he happened to cheat an acquaintance and was recognized.
"How about this, I'll make the decision and give you something. Anyway, this shop is jointly opened by the old man and me, so I can be considered half the owner."
She paced back and forth in the store, thinking, and finally stopped in front of an exhibit with satisfaction.
"I'll give this to you." She waved to Bai Xing.
Bai Xing walked over and saw that it was a very beautiful diamond bracelet.
"This is a bracelet made of phantom sea star diamonds. It's said to bring luck, but most of these things are just gimmicks. I think this bracelet suits you very well, so I'm giving it to you!"
Lin Yumeng directly pulled Bai Xing's wrist, put it on her, then took a look at it and was very satisfied.
"It's so beautiful. I'm the one who picked it." She was very pleased with herself.
The old man in the inner room muttered, "What a spendthrift! He just gave me a bracelet worth thousands of dollars. I'm such a pitiful old man..."
Lin Yumeng coughed, and the room instantly became quiet.
Bai Xing burst out laughing. These two people are really interesting, one old and one young, two funny guys.
