Chapter 134 - Silver
Chapter 134: Silver
As soon as Lu Ren and Long Tao finished their sentence, Xiao Bin’s eyes widened. “Lu Ren, Long Tao, are the two of you… going to give up like this? We still have a more glorious future. If we stop here…”
Lu Ren suddenly interrupted Xiao Bin. “Brother Bin! We’re not you. We don’t have any talent or perseverance. We’re just ordinary people. That’s right, we were all fantasizing about being able to become super humans and strong people like you, Big Brother Wei. However, most people have to face the truth. Although the outside world is exciting, it also comes with danger. Even though the Rose Manor is not big, it’s safe and stable. We’ve thought about it. That’s the right way for us!”
Xiao Bin stared blankly at Lu Ren and Long Tao, feeling speechless. His face was filled with disbelief.
Why? Why did you guys grow up to be like this?
Wei Huo looked at Mo Guyun. “Are you staying?”
Mo Guyun, who was stunned, shook her head repeatedly. “No… I want to leave.”
The atmosphere in the rose garden was a little weird. She did not want to stay.
Wei Huo nodded. He suddenly thought of the giant’s words. He then said, “Everyone has their own path to walk. Everyone has to be responsible for their own choices. Let’s split up here. Xiao Bin, say goodbye to your friends… Yes, Auntie Li, I need pomegranate seeds and rose seeds. I’ll trade beast fur and meat for them.”
Wei Huo used the meat and fur of beasts in exchange for some pomegranate seeds and rose seeds. He threw them both into the display platform. With these things, it would be easier to store some resources.
Xiao Bin hugged his friends. “I will miss you guys. I will come back when I become as strong as Big Brother Wei!”
Wei Huo, who had already obtained what he wanted, left with the two of them. The other people in the Rose Manor came to the door and bade them farewell. Before leaving, Wei Huo plucked a huge pomegranate. It was a rare treasure. After one consumed it, it could increase one’s Qi cultivation efficiency.
The Tree-Man pulled himself out of the ground. Without the three of them, the traveling caravan continued its journey.
“Big Brother Wei spent two to three years training. My talent is not strong, but it should be enough if I spend six to seven years training, right?” Xiao Bin mumbled.
The giant tree asked, “What did he say?”
Wei Huo said in Mandarin, “He said he wants to become an Epic being within six to seven years.”
The giant tree was shocked. “Why is he so arrogant? What gives him the confidence?”
Xiao Bin saw the exaggerated expression on the giant tree’s face and asked, “Big Brother Wei, what did the Senior Tree say?”
Wei Huo glanced at him. “He said he thinks highly of you!”
Xiao Bin nodded. “I will work harder to live up to Big Brother Wei and the Senior Tree’s expectations.”
Wei Huo was speechless.
No, no, we have no hopes for you.
The group continued traveling. After about two days, the 100-meter-tall Tree-Man suddenly said, “I saw a human camp not far ahead. I’ll wait for you guys here.”
Wei Huo had communicated with the Tree-Man previously and told him what a caravan was. The Tree-Man knew that Wei Huo would stop to trade with the people in the caravan.
Wei Huo asked, “What kind of camp is it?”
Was it a player camp or a human camp? If it was the former, he would have to earn some Magical Stones.
The Tree-Man said, “There are a lot of people. The buildings are very orderly. People are talking and laughing. They are farming. A few people are building a bonfire.”
It was already evening, and the sun was about to set.
Wei Huo said, “The squirrel and the purple cat will stay. The others will follow me to the camp to trade.”
The purple cat stretched lazily and yawned. It then sprawled on the ground and rested. The Gold-Eater drilled its way out of the tree’s branches. It was chewing on a piece of metal with its teeth as it watched Wei Huo lead the way to the human camp.
They walked for two hours.
Xiao Bin was speechless.
That was not far?
Wei Huo’s appearance alarmed the people in the camp. They all ran out and looked at the rhinoceros, Wei Sha, and Xiao Bin in shock.
It seemed like they were ignoring Wei Huo…
Suddenly, a 19-year-old young man squeezed his way out of the crowd and shouted at Wei Huo in shock, “You’re… Liu Huo! Liu Huo, is that you? It’s been a long time!”
The person walked toward Wei Huo and tried to shake his hand.
Wei Huo was confused.
Who are you? Who is Liu Huo?
He extended a hand. “Hello, hello!”
The man patted Wei Huo’s shoulder. “I didn’t expect you to come to this world. It must be fate!”
Who the hell are you?
At that moment, someone suddenly shouted, “Make way, Big Brother Liu Siwu is here!”
The young man frowned and told Wei Huo and the others, “Be careful, this person has a bad temper. He’s currently the one who gives orders in our camp.”
The crowd dispersed and Liu Siwu walked over. Wei Huo looked over. Isn’t this an artificial being?
Liu Siwu took a few steps and approached Wei Huo. He then said respectfully, “Hello, traveling merchant. I’m the person in charge of this camp. If you want to trade, you can trade with me!”
Xiao Bin was confused.
Mo Guyun was confused.
Who had said that he had a bad temper?
However, Wei Huo immediately understood why the artificial being was so polite. Wei Huo was currently at level 32 and was ahead of others ranking-wise. He had surpassed level two and three because level-30 missions were used to complete a Rare-ranked quest. This quest was too difficult, and all the players were stuck except for Wei Huo.
Liu Siwu was only at level 30, while Wei Huo was at level 32. That was why Liu Siwu respected Wei Huo.
Wei Huo said, “I have a few savage captives. Do you need them?”
Liu Siwu took a closer look at the savages behind the rhinoceros and said, “If the savages are tamed, they will be a good labor force. Your savages… Yes, in terms of taming speed, they are worth at least 1,600 units of silver. However, our camp does not have that much silver currently. You can check the inventory of our camp and find the resources you want to trade them for!”
Soon, a virtual screen appeared in front of Wei Huo’s eyes. No one else could see it except for Wei Huo and Liu Siwu. Wei Huo checked it and realized that there were quite a lot of resources in it. There were beer, medicine, herbs, plastic, spare parts, steel, iron ores, and coal mines. They were all precious materials. They were not cheap in the Magical Stone Mall, but they were cheap on the trading menu.
“I want iron, steel, and medicine!”
Liu Siwu was very respectful and spoke in a friendly tone. He scanned Wei Huo seriously and said, “After deducting the value of the savages, you will have to pay 3,000 units of silver.”
Wei Huo called Xiao Bin over. “You talk to him!”
Xiao Bin’s social skills were at level seven, which was higher than Wei Huo’s level.
Upon seeing Xiao Bin, Liu Siwu’s face sank. It seemed like he was unhappy about talking to Xiao Bin. He said coldly, “After deducting the value of the savages, your caravan will need to pay 2,700 units of silver.”
Xiao Bin was confused.
Why was it 300 units of silver less?
