Chapter 355: Chen's Shop
Chapter 355 Chen’s store
"Strange? What's strange?" Mingyue looked at Shang Xin in confusion, "I remembered that when she said she was the only one in her family, she didn't look sad at all on her face, which was a bit abnormal."
Shang Xin shook his head, "Although this is a bit unreasonable, it's not strange. After all, that's a matter at her family and we don't understand it."[]
"What else is strange about it?" Mingyue didn't know what was wrong this time.
Shang Xin said: "It was when she saw us just now that she seemed to be very alert to us. At that time, I thought she would naturally feel alert when she saw people coming from outside. But after I came here, I realized that it was not. The Forbidden City is so big that she naturally could not know everyone. So when she met her, she should have thought we were people from the Forbidden City, and she should not suspect that we were from outside."
"So what?" Mingyue looked at Shang Xin in confusion, unable to understand what Shang Xin wanted to express.
Shang Xin said: "It should be a normal thing to meet people from the Forbidden City outside. Why is she so alert?"
"What else? Is it normal for a little girl to be afraid of strangers when she sees strangers? Maybe she is afraid that others will have bad intentions towards her." Mingyue said.
Shang Xin shook his head, "What she showed in her eyes was definitely not the kind of worry. At that time, her expression seemed to be afraid that her secret would be discovered."
"What secret can a teenage girl have?" Mingyue said: "Did you read it wrong?"
"It shouldn't be." Shang Xin frowned and said, "But her secret will not have anything to do with us, and she would never know us before that."
"So her business has nothing to do with us," Mingyue said: "She is her, we are us, we just need to do our own business."
"Yes." Shang Xin nodded, "The first thing we need to do now is to get close to Chen Jingran and then find out if there is any life grass on him. Tomorrow we will go to the street in the center of the city to see. There are all his shops there."
The next day, Shangxin got up early.
He Mingyue came to the street in the center of the Forbidden City early in the morning.
After walking around, the two found that the shops on the left side of the street were all purchased items. Anything in the foggy forest could be found on the left side of the street, but the purchase price was very low. Shangxin specially walked into the store that purchased the Life Tree Heart. Here, the life Tree Heart collected by Shangxin before could only sell 5,000 crystal coins. If such a life Tree Heart walked out of the foggy forest, it would be worth at least 50,000 spiritual jade.
After walking out of the store, Shang Xin asked Mingyue specifically, "Did I hear it wrong just now? Our Life Tree Heart is only worth 5,000 Crystal Coins? What he said is really not Lingyu?" Shang Xin asked the owner of the store five times, but he still couldn't believe it now.
It can be understood that the things here must have a price difference from outside, but the difference is still unacceptable. What are the people in this city? Residents? Or slaves?
How much money does Chen Jingran want to make? What's the use of him making so much money?
Shangxin came to the shop on the right side of the street again. All the shops on the right sold things, selling items outside the Mist Forest.
This place is completely different from the shop on the left. No matter what it is, it is extremely expensive. It takes 300 copper plates to buy clothes outside. An ordinary sword worth only 100 copper plates is sold here.
Everything has increased tenfold.
It was not until noon that the two of them returned to their newly bought house. They didn't need to buy any essentials, and there were everything in Shangxin's Qiankun Ring.
The two of them did nothing during this trip, and they just visited the store for a long time, but Shangxin discovered a problem. Chen Jingran, the messenger of the Demon King, was very rich. The money was definitely more than anyone imagined.
If a person's money is so much that it is just a number, it becomes no longer important. The reason why the rich people in this world have endless money but are still not satisfied is because they want to stand at an absolute height, because there are still many people who can compare with them. What they are competing for is not money, but identity and fame.
But Chen Jingran is different. In the forbidden city and in the foggy forest, no one can compare with him. If it were just a normal life, he would not have enough money to spend anyway. He shouldn't care anymore.
According to common sense, he should appropriately adjust the prices of items he acquires and sells, so that he will definitely be grateful and respected by everyone in the city. People like him have reached a position of honor.
But he did not do this and was still making money to the greatest extent. Shangxin could see that he had kept the prices of all the items produced in the Mist Forest to the lowest level. Such a price could only ensure that the residents in the city could live.
Just alive.
If you want to live, you must work hard to collect resources in the forest, which can bring the greatest benefits to Chen Jingran.
At this time, Chen Jingran still needs to do this. In Shang Xin, there should be only one reason, that is, he needs money and countless money.
The person who needs money the most in this world is a cultivator. No matter what country people are from, no matter what kind of martial arts they practice, they need money.
If you want to quickly improve your strength, buying spiritual medicine and immortal pills is the best way to do it. The more you have, the better, there is no end.
"If you guessed correctly, Chen Jingran should be practicing and doing his best to practice." After pondering for a while, Shang Xin came to such a conclusion.
"Does he need to do this in this forbidden city as the messenger of the demon king? Is he guarding against the demon king? Or has greater ambitions?" Shang Xin said to himself.
Mingyue looked at Shang Xin and said, "What do you mean?"
Shang Xin expressed his guess and said, "Suddenly I had a feeling that it should not be easy to get the life grass. Even if Chen Jingran really had the life grass in his hand, we wouldn't be able to get the hand simply."
"How difficult can it be?" Mingyue narrowed her eyes and said, "How strong is he? We have never seen him before we met. Are we afraid of him before we met?"
Shang Xin smiled, "Of course it's not that you're afraid. Life grass must be obtained, but we must be prepared. Getting the life grass will not allow for any mistakes."
"What are you prepared? We will go to Chen Jingran's house tonight. If there is a life grass in his hand, we will snatch it. I don't believe how strong he is." Mingyue was a little anxious. She didn't want to live like this. She also wanted to cure Bihua as soon as possible, accompany Shang Xin to see the world's great rivers and mountains, accompany Ruo Le to wander around the ice field in the Jueyuan, and accompany Bihua to wipe the Destruction Dramatic Bow together.
No one wants to kill or loot. How many people who have experienced great storms don’t want to live a dull life?
Mingyue thought, Shang Xin thought, but now they can’t do it.
When people are at the end of the world, they cannot help themselves.
How many people can understand the pain in Shangxin’s heart? For the sake of his relatives and friends, he has been running around and fighting hard, but he can’t cry, he can only laugh.
wry smile.
Shang Xin smiled bitterly: "Even if we can kill Chen Jingran, there are monsters and demon kings outside the forbidden city."
Mingyue took a deep breath and her tone slowed down, "What should we do?"
Shang Xin narrowed his eyes, "We'll go to Chen Jingran's house tonight to see if there is any chance." Of course, what Shang Xin said was not to break through. They didn't know anything about it.
The day passes quickly.
It's already night.
The crescent moon is curved.
Shang Xin and Mingyue walked out of the house door and were about to walk towards Nancheng when the door of a house diagonally opposite them suddenly opened, and the door of Hu Jiuwei's house.
Immediately, Hu Jiuwei walked out of the house, and she walked to Shang Xin and Mingyue, and said, "It's so late, are you going out?"
"Yes, we are going out." Shang Xin nodded. He didn't make any excuses, and Shang Xin didn't think it was necessary. He could see that Hu Jiuwei was a smart person.
Shang Xin just stared at Hu Jiuwei's eyes tightly, wanting to see the expression deep in the eyes, he was already a little suspicious of this girl. Now if the other party showed a suspicious look, Shang Xin would not mind letting the other party disappear in the foggy forest.
After all, Shangxin is not a person who cherishes flowers and jade, nor does it have a widespread love.
Hu Jiuwei looked at Shang Xin, but there was no strangeness in her eyes. She just said softly: "Oh, I still want to ask you to have a meal."
"Tell us to have a meal?" Shang Xin narrowed his eyes, "Miss Xiaowei, it shouldn't be easy for you to live alone to solve your own food and clothing."
Hu Jiuwei nodded, "Well, that's true, but I still want to treat you to a meal. I want to hear you tell me about the outside world."
"Oh? Do you want to leave the Mist Forest?" Shang Xin asked.
Hu Jiuwei did not shy away at all and said frankly: "There are no people in the forbidden city who don't want to leave here, but I just think about it. No one can go out, even you are the same. From now on, I am destined to live here. I just want to know what the outside world looks like. Since you have something to do, I will go back."
Hu Jiuwei turned around and left. Shang Xin looked at her back and said, "Miss Xiaowei, when it's okay one day, I'll tell you the story outside and give you the world outside."
"Okay." Xiaowei suddenly turned her head and showed a bright smile on her face. "You have to keep your word. Tell me the stories outside. I will make you fried rice with mushrooms."
"Okay, I must count."
Xiaowei walked back to her house.
Shang Xin frowned.
"What's wrong? Do you think she is abnormal?" Mingyue said.
Shang Xin nodded and shook his head again, "She is indeed a bit abnormal. A girl as old as her. Normally, she should be curious when she sees us leaving at this time and asks us where we are going, but she doesn't."
"But this doesn't mean anything." Mingyue said: "There is no fluctuation in her body. She is just an ordinary person and there should be no trouble for us."
"Well, because of this, I didn't take action just now." Shang Xin paused and said, "Let's go."
The two turned around and walked towards the Chen family.
