Chapter 47 Is face really that important?
Xia Fan: "..."
He didn't look at Zhang Ruyan next to the elevator, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of her taking two steps back.
"This little thing, she's so disrespectful when she's joking around. That's just how she is, a bit rebellious, you know?" Xia Fan turned around and explained with a forced smile.
However, in his heart, he had already started cursing.
Chen Xiaoxue, Deng Chao, when the old man gets younger and in better shape, he'll flip the last two characters of your names over and over again, without stopping.
Let's see if you dare to cheat people again!
That's incredibly disrespectful. How can you expect an old man to call you "Mom"? That's not something you can just say casually.
After hearing this, Zhang Ruyan forced a smile: "You don't need to explain to me."
"I'm serious, she just likes to joke around..."
Xia Fan was about to explain when a message popped up on the screen.
Chen Xiaoxue: [Where are you, Lao Deng? If you don't reply soon, I'm going to pour out the Coke.]
It collapsed?
Xia Fan's pupils suddenly contracted.
How can this be allowed?
Perhaps the cola could be identified as something else useful, but right now, if it were to actually give him something back, he would completely lose face.
Regardless of how Zhang Ruyan will react, she will most likely spread the word, making it known to everyone in the Martial Arts Association...
Xia Fan hesitated briefly before replying immediately.
[You little brat, don't you know how precious food is? Wasting food like this, have you ever considered the feelings of those who can't afford to eat? Don't throw it away, I'll deal with it when I get back!]
After replying to the message, Xia Fan put on a learned old man's expression and sighed, "Sigh, young people these days just love to waste food."
As he said this, the elevator doors opened, and Xia Fan, with his hands behind his back, sighed as he stepped out of the elevator, leaving that awkward and cramped space.
Zhang Ruyan forced a smile and followed.
She had known all along that this old man was not respectable at all; you couldn't tell from his appearance, but he was extremely lewd inside.
We must be on guard.
Soon, they arrived at the Martial Arts Association's spacious trading hall, where various suits of armor and gene potions were on display.
For martial artists, besides blood and qi, the greatest use of gene potions is to improve physical constitution. Compared to improving blood and qi reservoirs, this is easier.
Currently, none of these medicines are of much use to Xia Fan.
Zhang Ruyan followed behind Xia Fan and quickly pointed to the most conspicuous place: "Look over there, that's the Source Crystal."
Xia Fan looked over.
What came into view were two purple crystals.
It appears completely transparent and has a bright, luminous sheen.
Xia Fan's gaze was quickly drawn to the price tags below.
Price: 500 million yuan
So expensive?
Let's just go and rob them!
Xia Fan's eyes widened. He had prepared himself mentally, but he still didn't expect this thing to be so expensive!
No wonder they say you can't practice martial arts without money; who can afford this?
With his small shop, it's completely impossible; all his current assets can't even buy half of this thing.
We are so poor, so incredibly poor.
He withdrew his gaze and looked around. This place looked like a small market, with all sorts of shops and martial artists as customers.
Soon, a shop caught Xia Fan's attention.
There were some bottles and jars inside, resembling medicine, but they looked somewhat different from medicine.
"What do they sell there?"
Xia Fan was puzzled.
Taking this opportunity, he also planned to learn some things about martial arts, since he had just entered the martial arts world and there was still a lot he didn't know.
Zhang Ruyan smiled and said, "These are all medicines that can be used when heading to the new area. I heard that there are many mutated giant beasts in the new area, and the martial artists have also researched various ways to deal with them, as well as ways to target the weaknesses of the giant beasts."
Xia Fan nodded slightly. He knew about the giant beast, but there was nothing about it on the internet.
So for ordinary people, there isn't even a chance to see a giant beast.
He thought about it and decided to go inside the store.
As soon as he reached the door, the bald boss sitting inside looked up at Xia Fan, glanced at him briefly, and then looked down to continue reading his newspaper.
Xia Fan didn't pay attention to that, but instead looked at the functions of these different colored potions.
[Sacred Fruit Elixir: A special mucus that can trap Blood Wolves. Price: 20 yuan.]
[White Milk: After drinking it, it can resist the toxins of the Myriad Insect Flower. Price: 10 yuan.]
[Illusion Potion: A special potion that allows Angemon to prematurely enter its mating season, rendering it unable to fight. Price: 40 yen.]
They really have everything.
As Xia Fan thought this, he looked away, but suddenly, he saw subtitles appearing next to the Illusion Water.
[Identification: Ordinary source crystal liquefaction.]
Ok?
Xia Fan stared wide-eyed at the potion. Although it was still expensive, it was much better than the price of a normal source crystal.
"The Love Potion has some effects, but it depends on your ability. If you really think you can hunt Angemon with it, you will die a terrible death."
Just then, Xia Fan heard a voice in his ear. He turned around and saw a young man with blond hair wearing a white suit.
He smiled kindly: "Don't misunderstand, I'm just giving you a heads-up. Boss, give me a few bottles of this love potion."
As he spoke, he turned to look at the bald boss.
Xia Fan also spoke up: "Boss, give me two bottles too."
Long Yuchen was stunned. He turned around, frowning slightly. "Old man, didn't you hear me remind you? At your age, wouldn't it be better to stay home and spend time with your family?"
He knew that recently, in a new area relatively close to Jiangbei City, there had been sightings of Angemon, and those who wanted to buy this Love Potion probably had the same goal as him.
Although he is not afraid of competition, he rarely reminds people, which is because he also has an elderly person in his family; otherwise, he would not even bother to speak.
Xia Fan was baffled: "Do I have to buy this for Angemon?"
At this moment, both Long Yuchen and the bald boss were full of doubt. Why would they spend such a high price to buy the Illusion Water if they didn't give it to Angel Beast? Were they going to drink it themselves?
Zhang Ruyan, who was standing beside her, suddenly covered her mouth as if she had thought of something. Was she going to give it to Xiaoxue?
"I'd like to know, if you're not going to give it to Angemon, are you planning to use it yourself?"
Long Yuchen didn't believe it at all. He felt that this was just an excuse the old man was making up. In the world of martial arts, who would really tell the truth?
Moreover, he is quite meticulous, and when he hears the old man lying, he can't help but want to expose him.
"I'm buying this to drink, boss, can you give me a discount?"
Xia Fan answered casually. To him, this was a source crystal, and explaining it to these people wouldn't make them understand.
Long Yuchen smiled.
"Don't talk about cheapness, old man. Seriously, if you're not afraid of drinking until you bleed, then drink. I'll pay for whatever you can drink."
"real?"
Xia Fan was puzzled.
Did you run into a helpful person when you went out?
He was thinking that if he spent the money, he would be eating dirt for a while, but then he unexpectedly encountered a great traitor.
"Of course it's true, if you dare..."
Long Yuchen said with a smile, but before he could finish speaking, Xia Fan pulled out the stopper and poured the love potion into his mouth without hesitation.
Long Yuchen was stunned, while the bald boss looked puzzled.
Zhang Ruyan was also stunned.
If a normal person drank this stuff given to Angemon, they would bleed from the bloating. Is saving face really that important?
