Chapter 347: Chapter 347: The Street Vendor Is a Little Girl
A sudden commotion came from outside, and Ye Chen curiously walked out.
He saw the once quiet street now bustling with activity.
The sides of the road were filled with stalls, all selling various items.
"Young man, want a Profound Tier Three-color Flower? Only 100,000 gold coins each, providing 30,000 Experience Points. How about it, interested?"
A middle-aged man with an honest face looked at Ye Chen with a cheerful smile and asked.
Judging by his expression, he seemed quite sincere.
A young man walked over and said, "Brother, don’t mind him. This guy is notoriously crafty. Selling a Profound Tier Three-color Flower for 100,000 gold coins, you’d think he’s robbing you and forcing you to take the flower. Isn’t it outrageous? If this item is so good, why don’t you use it yourself?"
The middle-aged man chuckled, "I haven’t reached the Profound Tier yet, can’t use it."
"Well, we have reached the Profound Tier! Your words are nonsense!"
Ye Chen showed an interest in this newly emerging trade street.
Ye Chen began to stroll around here.
"Basalt, Basalt, essential material for Five Stars Epic Defense equipment, only 150,000 gold coins!"
"Basalt, really?"
"Of course it’s real!"
Ye Chen suddenly noticed a familiar figure, it was the clerk, Xiao Li.
She was sitting there with her stall set up.
Ye Chen walked over and looked at the various Yellow Tier Experience Grass on the stall and asked, "Boss, how much for this Experience Grass?"
"Low Level Yellow Tier 1000, Intermediate 3000, Advanced 5000!" Xiao Li said as she looked up.
"It’s you, Ye Chen, Bai Ye’s junior brother!" Xiao Li said in surprise.
Ye Chen smiled, "Yes, it’s me. Sister Xiao Li, how did a clerk like you get so many things?"
Xiao Li chuckled, "Clerks also need to go out and hunt monsters. I’m a Divination Master by profession, and I worked hard to find all of these. How are they? Want some? If you do, I’ll give you a discount."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Wrap them all up for me."
Xiao Li was taken aback and said, "I have a few hundreds of these here; they were all found over seven days by our entire office staff. Are you sure you want them all?"
"Of course, why else would I joke with you here?" Ye Chen laughed.
"Alright, I’ll count them for you then!"
After saying this, Xiao Li squatted down and started organizing and counting the items.
"50 Low Level Three-color Flowers, 50,000 gold coins. 30 Intermediate Three-color Flowers, 90,000 gold coins. 10 Advanced Three-color Flowers, 50,000 gold coins."
"20 Low Level Saint Luoxian, 40,000 gold coins. 5 Advanced Saint Luoxian, 50,000 gold coins!"
"The most are the Yi Zilan, 200 Low Level at 100 gold coins each, totaling 20,000 gold coins. 100 Intermediate Yi Zilan, 50,000 gold coins, and 20 Advanced, 20,000 gold coins."
Xiao Li finished counting, looked up at Ye Chen and laughed, "A total of 370,000 gold coins, but I’ll deduct 20,000 for you, so 350,000 total. It’s not all mine, so I can’t offer too big of a discount!"
Xiao Li said with a smile.
Ye Chen nodded, knowing that these items weren’t solely Xiao Li’s. Giving a 20,000-gold coin discount was already quite generous.
Ye Chen took out 350,000 gold coins and handed them over, saying, "Here, count it!"
Xiao Li took it with a smile, handed the items to Ye Chen, and said, "No need to count. I naturally trust you. Thanks for supporting my business."
In fact, there weren’t many buyers for such items because they were quite easy to find, and few people bought them.
Moreover, most people didn’t lack experience, and with such money, they preferred to buy materials to create better equipment.
Additionally, alchemy required purchasing an Alchemy Furnace, and the experience gained wasn’t much, so not many bought them. Xiao Li had been sitting there for over two hours without selling a single one.
Ye Chen bought such a large amount to quickly level up his Alchemist skill, allowing him to craft more advanced materials.
Since he had a Three-legged Tripod, the cost was minimal, and buying Experience Grass was more cost-effective than looking around for it himself.
"Big brother, I also have some Experience Grass here. Would you like to buy some?" An eighteen-year-old girl looked at Ye Chen with large watery eyes, speaking cautiously.
Ye Chen glanced at her, seeing that although she was eighteen, she was only 153 cm tall and very thin, giving a frail impression.
The Experience Grass on her stall looked somewhat withered, and her pet sat beside her, a high-quality yellow dog, only Level 12, clearly recently summoned.
The little dog was also a bit dirty, cuddling beside the girl, sitting obediently.
Ye Chen walked up, picked up a few wilting grasses, and smiled, "Alright, I’ll take them all."
"Really?" The girl’s eyes widened with joy.
"Yes, really, I’ll take them all!"
"Great! Thank you, big brother—no, thank you, sir. I’ll count them all and wrap them up for you!" The young girl said excitedly.
As she tidied up, she said, "I’m not from the Law Enforcement Alliance. I snuck in here to sell items. My pet is low-tier, unwanted by the Law Enforcement Alliance, and no other alliance wants me either. I can only fight low-level monsters to level up slowly. Recently, there have been too many strong monsters, and I’ve spent all my gold coins. Hehe, have I talked too much, big brother?"
The young girl said somewhat shyly.
Ye Chen chuckled, "Not at all, I enjoy hearing you talk."
"Thank you, big brother. You’re really a kind person." The girl petted the little dog’s head and smiled, "Little Yellow, we can eat something nice today!"
After saying this, she handed the items to Ye Chen and said, "Big brother, there are a total of twelve stalks. I’m not sure about the grade, just give me 10,000 gold coins."
The young girl said with a bit of timidity.
Ye Chen took out 20,000 gold coins, handed them to the young girl, and said, "Here, take this. You have some Intermediate ones, they’re worth 18,000 in total."
The young girl’s face lit up with joy, and she quickly took out 2,000 gold coins to return to Ye Chen, saying, "Thank you, big brother. Here’s 2,000 for you."
But Ye Chen didn’t take them. Instead, he said, "No need. Consider this 2,000 a deposit. Next time you have such goods, save them for me!"
The young girl looked at Ye Chen’s warm smile, and though young, she knew very well that this big brother was helping her.
Tears quickly filled her eyes. Holding back her tears, the young girl said, "Thank you, big brother!"
"You’re welcome. Keep this, and if you’re ever in danger, crush it."
Ye Chen exchanged for five Protective Shields in the Points Mall and gave them to the young girl.
