Chapter 50

The VIP area only serves adventurers ranked four stars and above.

Of course, there is one exception.

"Sorry, esteemed guest, but our mall has a rule that transactions exceeding 10 gold coins per item cannot be conducted in the outer hall. Please understand," a man in a suit smiled and made a 'please' gesture to Lin Feng.

"Exceeding 10 gold coins per item?" Lin Feng was slightly taken aback and slowly sat down.

As far as he knew, even if the materials from the Elite Snowlight Deer were valuable, combined with the D6 magnesium crystal heart, it shouldn't exceed 10 gold coins, right?

Moreover, what he was talking about was...

Price per item?

"Alright." Lin Feng nodded without changing his expression.

He also wanted to see what was going on.

The man in the suit completely ignored the magnesium crystal heart and the coral light horn, his eyes gleaming. He took out a thin alloy sheet, gently parted the patterned snow fur, and scraped the red powder into a silver container. His movements were so gentle, as if he was caressing a lover, afraid to hurt it.

"Wow~" A flash of insight appeared in Lin Feng's eyes.

It was... that.

The red powder seemed to be quite extraordinary.

The man in the suit took out a magnifying glass and examined it carefully, muttering, "Indeed, it's a heavy rare earth element. This should be... erbium, yes, it's erbium."

"Rare earth element?"

"Moreover, it's a heavy rare earth element!"

Lin Feng was inwardly shocked, but his expression didn't change much.

He naturally knew what rare earth elements were; they were the main materials for manufacturing gene liquids and energy capsules, extremely rare and precious. However, the types of rare earth elements were not mentioned in his college courses. He only knew they were divided into light and heavy rare earth elements, with heavy rare earth elements being...

Ten times more expensive!

"Exceeding 10 gold coins per item." Lin Feng's eyes flickered.

The man in the suit quickly completed the appraisal and placed the silver container into a superbrain device. A bright white light gathered and enveloped the silver container. With a light 'ding,' Lin Feng looked at the superbrain screen, where the number '24' clearly appeared.

"Esteemed guest, the heavy rare earth element 'erbium' totals 24 grams. Our mall's purchase price is 1.2 gold coins per gram," the man in the suit smiled professionally, "Would you like to sell it?"

"Hmm?" Lin Feng was slightly surprised.

24 grams, 1.2 gold coins per gram, that would be...

28.8 gold coins!

Boom! Lin Feng's heart couldn't remain calm.

Nearly 30 gold coins, a mid-level ancient martial general in the Ruins World would earn about 30 gold coins a month. He had casually picked up some powder, which turned out to be a heavy rare earth element, worth 1.2 gold coins per gram!

Unbelievable.

Seeing Lin Feng's hesitant expression, the man in the suit smiled again, "Guest, you can rest assured. Our Element Mall is fair to all, with reasonable prices. Moreover, if you agree, I can upgrade your adventurer badge to four stars and give you a 90% discount VIP card for the Element Mall. You will receive a 10% discount on any purchase at any Element Mall in the future."

"Oh?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up.

He hadn't expected to gain so many benefits in a moment.

The adventurer badge was secondary to him, but the 90% discount VIP card was quite special.

"Alright, go ahead and process it for me." Lin Feng was not one to be shy, so he took off his adventurer badge and handed it over along with the martial crystal.

"Sure, please wait a moment." The man in the suit bowed slightly and left.

A moment later...

"Here is your adventurer badge." The man in the suit smiled and handed it over with both hands, "This is an anonymous card from the First Bank of Huaxia, already linked to your martial crystal. The total transaction amount is 38.95 gold coins, and we have deposited 39 gold coins for you."

"And this is the VIP card for the Element Mall."

"This is my business card. If you have any needs, feel free to contact me."

Lin Feng took them one by one.

On the business card, it read 'Deputy Manager Xu Wenhua.' Lin Feng placed it on his crystal watch, scanned the QR code, and stored the information in his crystal watch.

Deputy Manager...

Knowing more people was not a bad thing.

...

Leaving the VIP room, everything felt different.

Lin Feng looked at his adventurer badge, which had changed from a pale gray to a bright silver, with four stars representing the strength of a初级战武将. Returning to the Element Mall, Lin Feng clearly felt the change in the surrounding gazes, with more attention and curiosity and admiration.

"A bit too showy." Lin Feng smiled slightly and took off the badge.

The badge represented strength and status. As an 18-year-old four-star adventurer, it was hard not to attract attention.

"39 gold coins..."

"Tsk tsk."

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.

Though it was far from his goal of 100 gold coins, it was a timely rain for now. He could not only pay off his debts and repair his gene battle armor but also buy a considerable amount of basic gene liquid. Previously, he had been worried about the money not keeping up with his training speed, but now—

Most of the problems were solved!

...

...

How to spend this windfall?

Lin Feng wouldn't be foolish enough to keep the money in the bank.

Spend it!

Equip himself and enhance his strength as much as possible, then he could earn more money!

Money in the bank was just a number.

It must be put to good use!

The first thing to do was to buy a battle knife.

This was one of the top two 'major tasks' for Lin Feng. He really wanted a—

Convenient battle knife!

...

A D1 alloy battle knife of the Gray Wolf series.

To do a job well, one must first sharpen one's tools.

Having suffered a loss due to his battle knife, Lin Feng naturally remembered it well.

If he was going to buy, he would buy the best.

"This Gray Wolf battle knife is mainly light and fast, but can withstand heavy pressure, and its sharpness is enough to cut through the defense of a high-level elite beast general." Lin Feng wielded the battle knife, which made a rustling sound like a wolf's howl, feeling very comfortable.

He had liked it at first sight in the mall.

Though it was expensive, Lin Feng gritted his teeth and bought it.

"If I had this in the battle with the Elite Snowlight Deer..." Lin Feng gently stroked the blade of the Gray Wolf battle knife, which could cut through hair, his eyes filled with fighting spirit, "With the first strike, Meteor Assault, I would have already cut the throat of the Elite Snowlight Deer." Lin Feng was very confident.

For an ancient martial artist, the importance of weapons was self-evident.

Whether they were convenient to use, sharp, or felt right, all affected the performance of their strength.

...

Repairing the D4-level gene battle armor: 2 gold coins.

Mass-produced C7 standard: 1.2 gold coins.

90 bottles of basic gene liquid: 27 gold coins.

Lin Feng spent his newly earned money with great satisfaction.

Except for the repair of the D4-level gene battle armor, which was a bit expensive, everything else was within expectations. But thinking about the 6 gold coins price for a D4-level gene battle armor in the mall, Lin Feng felt relieved. His gene battle armor was in such a state, and spending a third of the price to repair it was already quite good.

As for the 90 bottles of basic gene liquid, it seemed a lot, but it was actually just...

"A month's supply." Lin Feng felt helpless.

His consumption of gene liquid was definitely a big pit.

"Fortunately, there's the 90% discount VIP card." Lin Feng walked out of the Element Mall.

The original total was 40.2 gold coins, exceeding the balance in his bank card, but with the 90% discount, it was 36.18 gold coins, leaving him with 2.82 gold coins in his card, saving 4 gold coins, a number that a common初级古武士 might not earn in four years.

"2.82 gold coins, enough for now." Lin Feng didn't mind spending all his money.

Since he could earn 39 gold coins this time, the next time...

It would only be more, not less.

"Going home."

"I wonder how Yu'er is doing at the academy."

Lin Feng smiled slightly, with a hint of longing in his eyes.

Whoosh! The crystal watch emitted a beam of light, forming a solid object. Lin Feng leaped onto the Mass-produced C7 and left gracefully.
