Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1536 - 1382: The Value of an Egg (Two in One)_2

"Just 50% off? Wang Xiaoneng got it at 30%, damn it, I actually spent 100 immortal coins, swindler! There’s no way I’m letting him off the hook!"

"You spent 100 immortal coins? I spent 130! Damn, damn, damn, how can there be such a big difference for the same piece of clothing?"

"Swindler, give us our hard-earned money back!"

"Catch him, we must get a refund for the price difference of this clothing!"

The group of people came chasing after him, their faces filled with anger; there was no questioning it, their target was all the same person, the NPC selling cold-resistant clothing to Su Ran.

"Cough cough, see that? Look how popular I am, so many people are crying and screaming to buy clothes from me, this shopping frenzy has got me swamped!"

The NPC showed no signs of panic, and after showing off to Su Ran, he turned tail and ran, "Warrior, we’ll meet again if it’s meant to be. I gotta go now, or I’ll be beaten to death..."

"Whoosh!"

The guy dashed away from the scene, disappearing from sight in just a few seconds. His speed was so fast that even Su Ran was taken aback.

I’ve seen the shameless, but never this shameless; this NPC just set a new low for humanity...

"He must not be an ordinary NPC; he could very likely be helpful to the trial mission."

Su Ran looked at the NPC’s retreating figure, finding himself somewhat admiring the fellow – swindled so many yet still alive, that’s some skill...

"Chase him, don’t let that Uncle Yu escape!"

"Today we must catch him and teach him a lesson he won’t forget, always wreaking havoc on others!"

"I saw him sneak into an alley, let’s split up and corner him!"

Dozens of NPCs, fueled by rage, ran ahead, paying no mind to Su Ran the foreign adventurer, solely focused on catching that guy.

"What? Uncle Yu? Can’t be such a coincidence, right?"

Su Ran was quite shocked by the name; the NPC shared the same name as Uncle Yu from his own territory – what on earth was going on?

Could it be...

Is there some connection between the two?

Given this maddening name, Su Ran was even more convinced of the NPC’s connection to his own Fire God Trial. The system adding such a shameless character definitely meant something!

But then came the problem. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Where on earth did this kid run off to?

If I see him again next time, should I still buy that cold-resistant clothing at a high price?

This concerns the NPC’s favorability, which must not be missed! Perhaps this is a hidden quest clue. Before meeting Uncle Yu, I must earn 80 immortal coins!

Realizing this, Su Ran quickly scanned around the city and, after spotting the marketplace, hurried over.

"Selling, selling!"

"A bottle of fresh lava, just fetched from the mountain, don’t miss out on this!"

"Selling freshly picked Pet Eggs, still with dung on them, guaranteed freshly laid!"

The NPCs, regardless of whether they had customers or not, tirelessly shouted their wares, making the market atmosphere vibrant and lively.

"Wow, quite a variety, though probably not many valuable items."

Su Ran knew to find loopholes in the system was wishful thinking unless it was bugging out.

However, he planned to exchange some immortal coins; he had to go through the market. He surveyed each stall, wanting to see if there were any valuable items worth purchasing.

"Hey, a new face, brother, you must be new to the Fire God City, right? Check out what I have here, definitely fair prices, not like that scumbag Uncle Yu, scamming everyone he sees!"

A burly middle-aged man’s eyes lit up upon seeing Su Ran, and he eagerly greeted him with a warm welcome, his gestures resembling those of a madam in a brothel.

"Do you sell cold weather clothing here?"

Su Ran realized that in Fire God City, without cold weather clothing, it was really uncomfortable; even her bones felt chilled to the point of turning slightly blue, and her voice trembled a bit when she spoke. It was truly an unpleasant feeling.

"Cold weather clothing? I really don’t have any here. If you want some, you can only go to that scoundrel, Uncle Yu. Oh, and be prepared to get swindled. Everyone who deals with him gets fleeced!"

Seeing that the sale could not be made, the NPC shook his head regretfully, "I really don’t know where he gets so many cold weather clothes from. I’m quite envious of him."

"So that’s how it is. No wonder he charges sky-high prices. Monopoly does make quick money!"

Su Ran had an epiphany and stopped thinking about the cold weather clothing. Instead, she started to look at the items displayed on the stall to see if there were any treasures worth picking up.

But to her disappointment, what was displayed on the stall was a mix of random items, not even worth the thought of checking their properties.

After leaving the stall, Su Ran headed to the one shouting about Pet Eggs. She wanted to see what kind of divine beast could come from a Pet Egg that was accompanied by feces.

"Hey, young man, you here?"

This NPC was a little old man with a face full of wrinkles, grinning and rubbing his hands in excitement as he saw Su Ran approaching, "Come take a look! Although my stall is small, it’s full of treasures! I’m not bragging—everything from the skies to the seas, all kinds of materials are here. Look at this, the whiskers of the East Mountain Black Tiger, and this, the scales of the Divine Pond Fire Carp, and also..."

"Stop, stop, stop, no need for introduction. I’ll look myself. With that enthusiasm of yours, it’d be a wonder if you didn’t scare away customers!"

Su Ran was overwhelmed by the old man’s rambling. If possible, she wanted to bring this guy to her own territory; it would definitely make her village much livelier.

"Ah, sorry, I was too eager. I’ve been setting up my stall all day without a single customer, and now the sun is about to set. How am I going to make a living..."

Hearing Su Ran speak, the old man’s expression changed instantly, sighing and lamenting, "At my age, I’m still here braving sun and wind, all for a bite to eat..."

Here we go, playing the sympathy card.

"Old sir, don’t be upset, life is like this. If you don’t work hard when you’re young, in old age you’ll only have regrets. Those who deserve pity also have their hateful sides..."

"Cough cough, stop there, young man, just look at the materials."

The old man, hearing what Su Ran was saying, felt more and more that it wasn’t to his taste and hastily interrupted her, putting aside his attempt to gain sympathy.

"Eh? Old sir, where are the Pet Eggs you mentioned earlier? I heard you shouting about them as soon as I entered the market, so why do I only see materials on your stall?"

Su Ran searched but couldn’t find that fresh Pet Egg. Could it be just a false advertisement to attract attention?

If that’s really the case, then he’s definitely not worth pitying.

"Turns out you wanted to see the Pet Eggs, I have them, just hang on a moment."

The old man pulled out a chicken egg from his pocket, chuckling, "This is freshly picked from my chicken coop, I guarantee it’s absolutely fresh! Whether a mutant pet will appear or not, that’s all down to your luck."

"This... even if a chicken egg mutates, isn’t it still a chicken? If a donkey popped out instead, that would be a huge deal."

Su Ran looked at the old man speechlessly, and said without much strength, "I’m not sure if it’s that the chicken was unfaithful, or the donkey stole a moment of love, but, old sir, this Pet Egg is of such high quality that I truly cannot handle it. Farewell."

"Pah, ran into another blind customer. My Pet Egg is one of the rarest eggs in the world! Honestly, there’s only one rooster in my chicken coop!"

"Come on, a rooster laying eggs? Now that is rare! Old sir, how much for the egg? I’ll buy it as a keepsake."

Su Ran was suddenly interested, feeling that this might be connected to the Fire God Trial. If it was cheap, keeping it as a decoration wouldn’t be a bad idea.

"1000 immortal coins, and that’s the final price!"

"What?"

Su Ran was totally dumbfounded; she never expected this chicken egg would require immortal coins—and such an exorbitant amount at that. Who would slaughter someone like this?

"Clearly you don’t know the market. My chicken egg is unique, not something to be compared with those common eggs. 1000 immortal coins can’t even match its value!"

The old man started his smooth-talking skills, putting all his energy into convincing Su Ran to buy the chicken egg, but before he could finish his pitch, a woman NPC dressed like a farmer hurried over, loudly calling out—

"Old Man Fan, it’s terrible, someone has stolen our old laying hen!"
