Luo Xinglan was speechless for a long time before she finally found her voice: "Can't you trade me a talisman that you've successfully drawn?"
The old charlatan was taken aback: "Don't you like drawing failed talismans?"
Luo Xinglan roared, "When did I ever say I liked drawing failed talismans?!"
This old guy is driving me crazy!
The old evil spirit scratched his ear: "I know, I know, what are you yelling about? You've gone deaf me..."
Luo Xinglan took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and forced a smile: "So, are you going to switch or not?"
The old charlatan reached into his robe and pulled out a yellowish talisman. He looked at it and said, "I was in such a hurry to leave today that I only brought this one talisman with me. Take a look."
Luo Xinglan frowned as she looked at the yellowish-brown color. This... this talisman even seemed to have a lingering smell.
She held the talisman by one corner and took it from the old talisman's hand.
[Enemy-to-Friend Talisman: A special talisman meticulously crafted by the Talisman Master. Using this talisman can turn any enemy within a one-kilometer radius into your friend for one hour.]
Turn enemies into friends?
This one seems pretty good.
If she uses this talisman to turn the mutated monsters on Blackwind Island into her friends, then they certainly won't harm her!
Luo Xinglan was secretly pleased, but she didn't show it on her face. Her expression remained disdainful: "You traded such precious wine of mine for this useless talisman?"
The old evil spirit must still have a lot of good stuff; we need to find a way to get more of them.
The old man with the talisman twitched his beard and said, "You little girl, you really don't know what's good for you! How can my talisman be useless? It can turn all living things within a kilometer radius into friends, and this is useless?"
Luo Xinglan insisted, "But in my opinion, it's useless. Don't you have any other talismans?"
The old charlatan stiffened his neck: "That's it. That's all the talisman I brought today!"
Luo Xinglan: "Then go home and get another one, or you can draw another one for me right here."
The Old Evil Talisman: "You think drawing talismans is so easy? You think I'd draw one for you right here and now? What are you thinking?!"
Luo Xinglan shrugged: "I don't know how to draw talismans, but I know that my Maotai wine is very precious. It would take at least two talismans to exchange for one."
The old charlatan glared at her angrily for five seconds before saying, "Fine, fine, it seems I'll go home and get you another charlatan for the sake of the fine wine. You're quite the sharp-tongued girl..."
Luo Xinglan smiled and said, "Then you'd better hurry, or I'll be going to sleep."
Before leaving, the old evil spirit with talismans drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, then turned and left.
Luo Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief. She had been quite worried about angering the old evil spirit of talismans, fearing that he might attack her with white paper as a weapon, just like last time.
Thankfully, he didn't.
It seems that once you have a high level of affection for him, he really won't hurt you anymore.
Luo Xinglan had been busy negotiating with the old evil spirit of talismans and hadn't eaten yet, while the other little ones had already eaten and drunk their fill and gone to play in the yard.
Luo Xinglan ate a few bites and then summoned the little robot No. 9.
Number 9 asked respectfully, "Master, what are your orders?"
Luo Xinglan planned to train Number 9 to be a shrewd housekeeper. She smiled and said to Number 9, "Number 9, my family is still missing a logistics team leader. I see that you are quick and efficient, and you are most suitable for this position. I will focus on training you from now on. Don't let me down!"
Number 9 stands at attention and salutes: "I will certainly live up to my master's high expectations! I will become my master's most capable assistant!"
Luo Xinglan patted its shoulder with satisfaction: "Okay, come with me to the kitchen!"
As he spoke, he went into the kitchen to teach Number 9 how to wash the dishes.
Finally, she was free. Tomorrow, she would try having Number 9 cook a simple meal; it would get used to it after cooking it a few times.
So, while Number 9 diligently washed the dishes in the kitchen, Luo, the capitalist, Xinglan, casually crossed his legs and half-reclined on the sofa, eating grapes with great ease.
Even the leftover grape skins and seeds were thrown into the compost bin by No. 9, which can be said to have maximized No. 9's value.
Number 9 was still enjoying himself immensely, looking very enthusiastic.
Luo Xinglan glanced at the time. More than an hour had passed since Fu Zhou Lao Xie left. Why hadn't he returned yet?
Could it be that he changed his mind again?
Luo Xinglan suddenly sat up straight. If the old evil spirit of talismans really went back on his word, then she would suffer a great loss!
However, she had no way of knowing what the old evil spirit was thinking, so she could only sit on the sofa and wait.
The longer I wait, the more anxious I become.
She decided to look at the photos the frog had sent to distract herself.
When the frog came back, the two of them were so busy studying the talent-sharing card that they hadn't even seen the photos of it this time.
Thinking about it, Luo Xinglan went to search for information.
[Your frog has sent you travel photos. Would you like to view them?]
"Check!"
Immediately, five photos appeared before Luo Xinglan's eyes. In the photos, besides the baby frog, there was also a gray fluttering moth, and the two were having a lot of fun.
Your frog has made a new friend and received a gift from that friend. Would you like to check it?
"Check your mail!"
The fluttering moth gave the frog cub a gift of 3 purple companion fragments. Luo Xinglan put them into her backpack, and now she has 27 purple companion fragments, and her card collection progress is more than halfway complete.

[Unlock city rewards: 50 flower cakes and 50 jin of mushrooms!]
Huh, mushrooms?
Luo Xinglan took out the mushrooms, a whole box weighing 50 jin (25 catties), including termite mushrooms, morel mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, porcini mushrooms... all very fresh.
They come in various colors and shapes, and look rather tempting.
Although Luo Xinglan had never eaten mushrooms, she had heard of them.
She put the large box of mushrooms into her storage cabinet, planning to cook some to try tomorrow.
After tidying everything up, she invited the little ones inside to eat flower cakes.
There are several flavors of flower cakes, including rose, jasmine, matcha, and even purple sweet potato. Although she didn't know why the latter was called a flower cake, she was happy as long as it tasted good.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, it was almost midnight, but the old evil spirit had still not returned.
Luo Xinglan couldn't help but wonder, was he not coming today?
Just then, the figure of the old charlatan appeared in the living room without warning. He wiped his sweat and said, "Oh dear, this journey has been so rushed, it's really worn out this old man's bones..."
Luo Xinglan quickly got up and asked him to sit on the sofa.
The old talisman master pulled out a brand-new talisman from his pocket and looked at Luo Xinglan: "Here, I brought the talisman you wanted. Where's the wine?"
Luo Xinglan took out the wine. The old evil spirit took a look and confirmed that it was indeed the spear platform. He then gave the talisman to Luo Xinglan and held the spear platform like a treasure.
Luo Xinglan looked down and saw a [Teleportation Talisman].
