Chapter 58

Thank you very much for the rewards from 'Dancing with Maple' and 'Ice5555'!

When they said 'set off,' they were full of enthusiasm, but the Giant Beast Forest wasn't just an uninhabited wilderness. There were quite a few 'unfriendly guests' living here.

On the way, the four people—Wu Yan, Mei Qin, Chrysanthemum, and the curious Lili—faced quite a bit of harassment. Although the level of harassment was somewhat low, it did bring Wu Yan and the others a fair amount of income.

Low-level magic beasts no longer satisfied Wu Yan, so every one of these attacking magic beasts was stripped of its tendons, skinned, and had its magic crystal extracted, turning them into the most basic materials. Wu Yan planned to use them to exchange for gold coins.

Money isn't everything, but without money, nothing can be done. Although Wu Yan received a fair amount of mission rewards while doing mercenary tasks, money is always better when you have more of it.

Moreover, with the magic crystals from those twenty fanged dogs, if all these things were sold, the travel expenses would be covered at least. As for the corpses of the fanged dogs, those disgusting things, whoever likes them can take them...

Since Wu Yan and the others were just wandering around the outskirts of the Giant Beast Forest, and even within the range where Wu Yan had completed his mercenary tasks, even if Wu Yan had a slight tendency to get lost, two months of mercenary life had made him familiar with this area.

Therefore, it only took about four to five hours for the four of them to leave the Giant Beast Forest and arrive at the supply town.

If there was someone in the supply town who knew Wu Yan, they might think Wu Yan had only been gone for three or four days, but in fact, Wu Yan hadn't been to the supply town for over a month, and he hadn't even been in this world during that time.

The bustling streets were completely different from the 'cool' Giant Beast Forest, with much more vitality, making people feel more comfortable. This could be seen from the laughter of Chrysanthemum and the other three girls, which hadn't stopped since they arrived.

Although this was a different world with the existence of martial arts and magic, the clothing in the Spalier world wasn't much different from that of the 21st century. There were short-sleeved shirts, blouses, skirts, and coats. Although there were some minor differences, they weren't so significant that they couldn't blend in. Thus, the four of them still wore their original clothes and walked down the street without looking out of place.

Of course, there were still some admiring glances directed at Wu Yan and the others. When it was said that the glances were directed at Wu Yan and the others, most of them were actually looking at Chrysanthemum and the other three girls. After all, the older ones were beautiful, and the younger one was cute, naturally attracting countless gazes.

As for the glances of envy and jealousy that Wu Yan attracted...

Chrysanthemum, Mei Qin, and Lili completely ignored the onlookers and continued to do their own things and walk their own paths.

This was natural! Among them, one was the president of the White Emperor Academy Student Council and a popular queen, and one was one of the seven Level 5s out of 2.3 million people in the Academy City. Such gazes were a daily occurrence in their lives, so they had long become accustomed to them.

As for Lili, she was completely carefree, treating the onlookers as if they were cabbages...

Only Wu Yan, although he looked calm as he walked behind the three girls, if you observed closely, you would notice that his eyebrows occasionally twitched, revealing his inner unease.

Wu Yan's face was indeed thick-skinned, but he was still a bit afraid of the onlookers who seemed like members of the FFF group. After all, he was already enjoying the treatment that only a life winner would have, with one man and three women...

Under such gazes, the four of them came to a relatively large commercial store. They came here to sell the magic crystals and the bodies of magic beasts.

This place had a wide variety of items, from weapons and equipment to magic crystals and medicinal herbs. Of course, they were mostly low-level, with materials from magic beasts up to level 20, and level 30 materials being quite rare. As for military equipment, it was impossible to find.

"Hmm, this is the first time I've seen a store selling such strange and unusual things," Mei Qin said, looking at a row of glass windows displaying various parts of magic beasts. After looking around, she said this.

"Strange and unusual?" Lili bit her finger, her other hand still holding Chrysanthemum's, and tilted her head, indicating her confusion.

Stores selling the bodies of magic beasts and magic crystals were the most common in this world, with almost every city having several. Even Lili, the little girl, had come out to browse such stores more than once at home. Why would they be strange and unusual? Of course, with her small brain, she couldn't figure it out.

Mei Qin smiled at her but didn't say anything. Was she going to tell her that selling clothes and jewelry wasn't strange and unusual?

Chrysanthemum, of course, understood Mei Qin's meaning but didn't say anything either, as she felt the same way and found it quite strange.

"Well, the theme here is always related to combat!" Wu Yan said as he walked towards the counter. "The bodies of magic beasts can be used to make equipment, weapons, and even military equipment. Medicinal herbs can be refined into various potions, and magic crystals are involved in everything. So it's normal to have such stores!"

"Big Sister Mei Qin, is this your first time in such a store?" Lili tugged at Mei Qin's skirt and asked her.

"Yes!" Mei Qin didn't hide it, her eyes still looking around. "I never had the chance before..."

Lili's eyes twinkled, then suddenly lit up. She happily said to Mei Qin, "Then Big Sister Mei Qin, let Lili take you for a tour!" and then pulled Mei Qin towards the side.

"Wait!" Chrysanthemum quickly called out, looked at Wu Yan, and then followed them.

It seemed that girls were really enthusiastic about browsing stores...

Wu Yan helplessly looked at the three girls running around and walked to the counter, where a man in formal attire, looking quite shrewd, was standing.

"Sir, may I help you with something?" The shrewd man immediately smiled when he saw Wu Yan approach.

Wu Yan nodded. "I need to sell some magic crystals and magic beast materials!"

People coming to sell magic crystals and magic beast materials were a daily occurrence in such stores, and the shrewd man was clearly no stranger to handling such matters. So he immediately said, "Then, sir, please let me see the items you wish to sell."

"Here?" Wu Yan looked around, his brows slightly furrowed. It wasn't that he was afraid of being seen, but the counter was too small to hold all the materials. After all, some of the magic beast materials Wu Yan wanted to sell took up a lot of space.

Of course, the shrewd man thought Wu Yan was afraid of drawing attention, so he smiled and said, "I apologize, sir. Please come to the back room."

Wu Yan nodded again and turned to Chrysanthemum and Mei Qin. "You can look around here. I'll go handle the magic crystals and materials."

"Got it!"

"Go ahead!"

"Come back quickly, big brother!"

"Let's go..." Wu Yan said to the shrewd man, who stepped out from behind the counter, called a passing store clerk to take his place, and then led Wu Yan to the back room.

After seating Wu Yan, the shrewd man said, "Sir, may I take a look at the items you wish to sell?"

Wu Yan tapped the edge of the table, looked around the room, and nodded. "Sure, this room should be big enough."

As the shrewd man was still puzzled about what Wu Yan meant, Wu Yan waved his hand, and a large pile of magic beast materials appeared in the room, covering the entire floor.

"This... this..." The shrewd man's mouth dropped open, and he stared at Wu Yan in shock, exclaiming, "Spatial item!"

Indeed, the shrewd man was shocked, but not by the pile of magic beast materials. Although Wu Yan had brought a lot, they weren't of very high grade, and the shrewd man had seen many more valuable items in this store.

What shocked the shrewd man was the ability to summon items out of thin air, a capability that only the most precious spatial items possessed!

The shrewd man stared at Wu Yan, making Wu Yan feel a bit amused. After living in this world for three months, Wu Yan naturally knew the value of spatial items, but that was only for ordinary people.

In the Spalier world, spatial items were precious but not difficult to make. Any master blacksmith who was proficient in forging could generally make spatial items.

The reason spatial items were so valuable was because of the core material needed to make them: spatial gems!

The truly precious part was the spatial gem itself, as its conditions for formation were extremely stringent.

Spatial gems could only form in places where there were no other living beings. If any life form, even a blade of grass, appeared in a place where a spatial gem had formed, that place would never form another spatial gem.

In other words, once a place had a spatial gem and it was discovered and extracted, that place would never form another spatial gem.

How many places in the Spalier world were completely devoid of life? And how many of those places had been discovered to contain spatial gems?

This led to the preciousness of spatial items.

However, generally, the children of major families would have a spatial item, like Lulu, who had a spatial bracelet, and Feifei, who had one as well.

Apart from the children of major families, only seventh-rank warriors and mages might have a spatial item, but it was only a possibility, and the size of the internal space varied. The larger the internal space, the larger the spatial gem required...

Wu Yan didn't look like a seventh-rank warrior or mage, so the shrewd man had already assumed he was from a major family!

The shrewd man's posture had already lowered significantly, until he was slightly shorter than Wu Yan. He respectfully said, "Sir, may I have a moment to appraise the value of these magic beast materials?"

"Sure, go ahead!" Wu Yan took another bag from his spatial ring and handed it to the shrewd man, saying, "And these magic crystals as well."

"Of course, please wait a moment!" The shrewd man took the bag of magic crystals from Wu Yan, bowed, and then got to work.

Wu Yan sat there calmly, sipping tea.

It wasn't that he was putting on airs. The shrewd man's thoughts were already clear to Wu Yan before he came. By showing the spatial item, he knew there would be such a change, and it wasn't a bad thing.

At least he wouldn't be cheated, and there might even be a chance to get a better price...

(Typhoon... power outage... and then... nothing after that... you get it... wailing... fortunately, I managed to finish this chapter in time... the votes only increased by 25... is it a punishment? It must be a punishment! Absolutely a punishment! Wailing... it's rare to have a good day today...)
