Cheng Shuili didn't care at all about her gaze and said to herself, "This room key is one of a kind. If you miss this chance, you won't find another."
How could Tiger Sister not hear that this human was threatening her?
Detestable human!
Though she felt unwilling, she had no choice but to negotiate the price with Cheng Shuili obediently.
Although Tiger Sister wasn't sure if the keycard was truly one of a kind, the longer it took, the more danger her younger brother was in.
In the face of her own brother's life, paying a certain price clearly didn't matter much.
"I can show you my store treasure. As long as you can safely bring my brother out, I will give you a reward of two thousand game coins!"
Two thousand game coins?
Cheng Shuili shook her head regretfully. That was the life of a beastman; was it really only worth this many game coins?
She didn't say anything, just sighed.
The veins on Tiger Sister's forehead throbbed. Seeing that this human had the intention to leave, she hurriedly grabbed Cheng Shuili's arm and said, "The price is negotiable! It's negotiable! If you don't have a handy weapon, you can come with me to my brother's shop to pick one out! This can also count as part of the reward, okay?"
Her tone had started off quite tough, but by the end, it had taken on a pleading note.
Cheng Shuili only wanted to raise the price a little, not pass up the quest, so she went with the flow and agreed.
The human and the beast locked the shop door and hurried to Tiger Brother's shop without delay.
That was a weapon shop opened in a corner.
Cheng Shuili didn't rush in. She stood at the entrance and looked inside. To be honest, in such a modernized town, having such a rustic weapon shop really felt quite out of place.
Tiger Sister pushed open the heavy iron door first. Turning back to see Cheng Shuili, who seemed to be dazed, she couldn't help but urge her: "What are you standing there for? You humans can only stay in the town for two hours, right? We're running out of time!"
It was normal for her to be anxious.
After all, it was her own brother.
Cheng Shuili could understand, but understanding was one thing, and demanding a higher price was another.
She smiled: "Three thousand game coins."
The topic jumped a bit too quickly. Tiger Sister hadn't even realized what she was saying when Tiger Brother, hearing the commotion, pulled open the iron door and asked with a frown: "Tiger Sister? Is she extorting you?"
Cheng Shuili: "……"
It was obvious; these beastmen didn't seem to have a very good impression of humans.
Tiger Sister hurriedly shook her head. After explaining clearly to Tiger Brother, she agreed to Cheng Shuili's request with a sour face.
Cheng Shuili sighed inwardly. Since Tiger Sister was so quick to agree, she must have asked for too little.
She stepped into the weapon shop. What came into view was a whole wall neatly covered with weapons—knives, spears, swords, and halberds; all eighteen types of weaponry were present.
Cheng Shuili had originally felt a bit of regret, but now she couldn't be bothered to haggle. She pointed at the weapons on the wall and asked, "You said I could choose one, right?"
Tiger Brother was a bit confused, but Tiger Sister nodded directly.
Seeing this, Cheng Shuili didn't say anything more and went to the wall to pick up a weapon to examine.
She chose a long spear.
Who hadn't dreamt of being a hero on a red-tasseled steed?
This long spear was pitch black, with a slender shaft that felt heavy in her hand, exuding a cold metallic texture.
The spear tip shimmered with a cold light and was exceptionally sharp. Faint, fine wavy patterns could be seen on the blade edge, clearly the result of rigorous forging.
The end was adorned with a cluster of deep red tassels that swayed gently with Cheng Shuili's movements.
It was very cool, and it matched the image in Cheng Shuili's mind perfectly.
But Cheng Shuili, she didn't know how to use a spear at all!
That was very helpless.
Cheng Shuili thought about it, but still couldn't resist looking at the introduction for this spear.
【Legendary Long Spear, Youlan】
【Description: When you look at this weapon, you have already moved past the novice stage of the game! In order to survive, are you willing to put in more effort? When using this weapon, increase strength by ten points and agility by ten points. The king of weapons belongs only to the king among men. Special effects are not yet activated.】
Increase ten points of strength and ten points of agility?! And there are special effects?!
This was countless times better than the dagger she had!
She wanted this one!
Cheng Shuili turned her head and saw that Tiger Brother and Tiger Sister looked tense and full of vigilance.
What did this mean?
Cheng Shuili paused, suddenly realizing that the prefix for this weapon was 【Legendary】.
Cheng Shuili: "……"
This item wouldn't happen to be the special item in Tiger Brother's shop, would it?
Tiger Sister: "I said you could choose, but this one is definitely excluded!"
Tiger Brother: "Are you not interested in the many firearms on that wall? This weapon absolutely cannot be given to you!"
Understood, understood.
Honestly.
Cheng Shuili silently put down the long spear and paced around Tiger Brother's shop with her hands behind her back.
Tiger Brother was right; this wall had cold weapons, while the other side was full of firearms.
They sold bullets, and they sold explosives.
But the problem was……
Cheng Shuili had long suspected that, just like the monsters in the hunting dungeon from before, these monsters seemed to be immune to firearms. That was the reason she looked at cold weapons as soon as she walked in.
It was worth mentioning that all the firearms on this wall were engraved with a mouse-head mark, which looked somewhat familiar upon closer inspection.
Wasn't it exactly the look of that "Rat King" Cheng Shuili had encountered at the trading post last time?
This was a family business, the kind that monopolized the market!
Cheng Shuili already had a pistol and a rifle; she didn't lack firearms at all.
In the team……
Should she ask?
She was experienced in acting as a purchasing agent.
This must be the responsibility of being the boss.
Four-person group chat.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Does anyone want firearms? Pistols, rifles, everything is available, but you have to pay the game coins yourself.
【New Snow Clearing】: Boss, you specifically added that last sentence, are you afraid someone will take advantage of you?
【Wan Yi】: New Snow, are you still asking? Aren't you the one she's guarding against?
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: Hahahaha, sister Wan Yi said it well!
【Ai Mi Li】: How much are the cheapest game coins?
Ai Lin asked very pragmatically.
Cheng Shuili didn't delay and turned to ask: "How much is your cheapest firearm?"
Tiger Brother's business capability was equally strong: "The cheapest is that revolver, comes with six rounds of ammunition, for a total of 1000 game coins."
One thousand game coins.
This price was still a bit high for ordinary players.
Cheng Shuili sent the message into the small group exactly as it was.
【Ai Mi Li】: Boss, can you help me get one?
"You received a gift from player Ai Mi Li: 1000 game coins."
Of course she could.
Cheng Shuili picked up a revolver, settled the bill efficiently, and sent it over to Ai Lin.
One thousand game coins spent just like that?
New Snow gasped.
【New Snow Clearing】: @Ai Mi Li, sister Ai, where have you been making a fortune lately?
Ai Lin: "……"
Her social anxiety, which had just gotten a little better, flared up again.
On Cheng Shuili's side, Tiger Sister and Tiger Brother exchanged a look.
Tiger Sister endured it, but couldn't help herself: "Human, why are you willing to spend one thousand game coins to buy my brother's weapons, but not willing to spend 666 game coins to experience my services?"
