Chapter 24 Shopping
"A time traveler? The Aramean Ritual? Wait a minute!" The shopkeeper grabbed Di Xing's hand, and Di Xing immediately felt a surge of power. "You really are a graphics card master. With your White Bone King, you were the one attacking the pillar, weren't you? Even two World Collapse level beings couldn't have damaged the pillar like that."
"Oh, how did you guess? Wait, are you bluffing me?"
The shopkeeper didn't answer him, but fell into deep thought, his hand constantly rubbing the [Heart of Fire] badge on his chest. "Has a hero truly appeared?" Then, as if making a decision, he said, "Give me all the credits you have. This kind of money can only be used by people above the fourth level; it's more like a check. You can't spend it on the fourth level. I'll exchange it for copper and silver coins for you. Don't worry, I have channels to handle this money. Your 1000 star coins are equivalent to 1000 silver coins, which means it's equivalent to 100,000 copper coins."
"Wow, this Johnny is incredibly rich."
"Of course, this guy used to be on the second floor, but he was relegated to the fifth floor to be a corpse shredder because he was too monstrous. [Neighbor's Lawn Mower] 100 silver coins per card."
"So expensive?"
"Otherwise, I'm the only shop on the entire fourth floor that has it. You can look at other shops. I suggest you buy as many cards as possible. Carrying so many gold coins on your person is very unsafe, at least on this fourth floor."
After the store manager finished speaking, he noticed that Di Xing had already excitedly run to the computer screen in the card shop and started searching for cards in the store. "Wow, there's Monster Reborn! Red-Eyes Undying Dragon Emperor too! And Hellfire Summon! You even have Link 2 monsters here, Vampire Eater, yay, great cards!"
Seeing Dixing's childlike expression as if he'd discovered a new toy, Lunia chuckled and reminded him, "That card is pretty, but it's very expensive."
At this moment, Lei Xi couldn't hold back any longer. She jumped out of the deck and desperately pulled at Di Xing's mouth, yelling, "You're drooling! You pervert!"
"This is a Vampire Enchantress!? Link 3, buy it, buy it!" Suddenly his gaze locked onto a card, and with a thought, he retrieved the Tearful Treasure into the card.
"This...it actually exists! [Penetration Test Stag Beetle]!" This card grants monsters in its linked area a piercing effect. While the Bone King has high attack, it's indeed difficult to break through if the opponent uses a turtle formation. But with this card...hehehe, wait, there's this one too?
Upon seeing the card, even the store manager was puzzled. "What do you need this card for? It's somewhat useful, but the risks are greater."
"Hehehe, the greater the risk, the greater the opportunity; after all, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish."
And so, Di Xing returned home laden with his loot, but he had already spent most of the money he'd swindled from Zhuang Sini. Di Xing then asked the shopkeeper where he could buy clothes. He wanted to buy a more understated outfit; after all, he didn't want to be asked about Yi Wu again.
At this moment, Lunya stepped forward and said, "I'll go with you. I'm quite familiar with this area. The route to that place is a bit complicated, and it's hard to explain just by talking."
"Oh, won't this interfere with your shop's work?"
"It's alright, the peak business hours for today are over, the store won't be so busy anymore."
The shop manager glanced at Lunia and said, "Alright, Lunia, you should go out and clear your head." Then, he glared fiercely at Di Xing, "You'd better not do anything strange to Lunia, or I won't let you off the hook."
Di Xing felt his father's gaze. What was going on today? He'd been mistaken for a blond-haired kid twice already. Then the innkeeper said to Lunia, "Lunia, be careful when you're with him. If he tries to pull you into the inn or anything like that, don't go."
Lunia blushed slightly and said, "I know, shopkeeper, I'm not a child anymore." Di Xing looked at the shopkeeper's towering height of over 1.9 meters, his bunny ears, and his doting fatherly expression; the scene was somewhat startling.
Led by Lunia, Di Xing traversed the streets of the scrap metal district. Lunia, currently wearing a light veil, perhaps didn't want anyone to recognize her as [Lunia of the Magic Key]. Suddenly, Lunia slowed her pace, walking alongside Di Xing, her amethyst-like eyes fixed on him.
"Thank you. Hearing your words makes me feel like I understand some things now."
"It's nothing, I just said those things in a moment of excitement," Di Xing said, scratching his head somewhat awkwardly.
Lunia chuckled softly.
"By the way, your nickname is 'Lunya of the Magic Key,' does that mean you use the 'Magic Key' deck?" That deck only has two regular monsters in its main form; even he, a Soul player, finds it...unbelievable.
"That's right, you know the [Magic Key] deck? It's a really cool deck!" Lunya's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again. "But that's all in the past. I don't have a deck anymore; I'm just a tavern waitress now."
"But I feel like you haven't given up yet," Di Xing said, looking into her beautiful eyes. "The flames of battle are still burning in your eyes." This girl's fiery spirit hadn't been extinguished.
Lunya blushed deeply, practically steaming with embarrassment, and hurriedly walked forward, her hands clenched tightly with a determined air.
The two soon arrived at the market in the scrap metal area. The market was quite large, but very rudimentary, though this did not dampen the vendors' enthusiasm at all.
"Come and take a look! These are top-quality potatoes!"
"Don't miss out! These are all top-quality fabrics, tailored by renowned designers."
"A brand new revolver, he's killed so many people he can't be counted on two hands. Cowboy, are you sure you don't want one?"
"A cool duel disk, a top-tier item, once belonged to a star female duelist."
"Candied hawthorn berries~~~~"
"A second bloom, a man's best friend."
Di Xing had always felt that this world was quite strange, as if it were a mixture of East and West. For example, there were vendors selling potatoes and chickpeas, which Westerners like, as well as vendors selling candied hawthorns, and everyone seemed to have no language barriers, which was quite amazing. Also, what was wrong with that guy at the end? Something was clearly off. Could someone just shout that out in broad daylight? Didn't you see that Lunia's face turned red again? Although Lunia was wearing a thin veil, it couldn't hide the blush on her face.
Afterwards, the two quickly arrived at a clothing stall. Di Xing bought a very simple linen outfit and wore it as an outer garment. Well, there was no way around it; this outfit was really uncomfortable to wear. He still needed his custom-made pure cotton Yi Wu battle suit underneath for comfort. Then Di Xing bought a hooded cloak. Hmm, he was very satisfied.
Then they bought a regular Duel Disk, since the Bone Duel Disk was too conspicuous. After that, they bought a lot of affordable food. As for the taste, it was just edible, but it was cheap.
