Chapter 42 Threat? Hmph!

  "Halt! I'm a merchant, not a fighter!" Jiǔ Mìng hastily said, seeing the girl's obvious frustration at missing her strike.

  "Shut up! ... Aren't you afraid?"

  Afraid... of hair!

  Come on, stand up and let you hit me for thirty-five... no, thirty seconds, can you kill me? What's there to be afraid of since it's come to this? That intimidating aura is just a bluff. Don't mess around, I'm not even slightly afraid, how could I possibly fear that sort of thing!

  "Then go die."

  Rumble... The entire hall shook violently, and Jiǔ Mìng's mouth twitched as he gazed at the ruins around him. He lightly shook his head, relieved that repairing furniture wasn't something he had to pay for himself.

  The abnormal girl in front of me can absolutely kill that snake king, the nine lives refer to the thunder snake king with the thunder beads in his hand, sigh, here we go again!

  The ruins that were already devastated once again seemed to have been trampled by Godzilla... It's simply inhumane.

  "......Alright then, you go on."

  Only two attacks and he still has 330 source power left. The protection mechanism was activated for less than a second but it's still calculated as one second!!

  Forget it, soon nine lives will be clear, after all, better than that kind of charging by the number of times, and not too black.

  He snapped his fingers and the sofa, which had been reduced to ashes after nine lives, was restored again. He sat down very neatly and said, "Finish your fight quickly and go home to sleep."

  We can't show any weakness.

  "Are you done?" After waiting for half a minute, seeing that the girl opposite him didn't react, Jiǔ Mìng raised his hand slightly, and the grand hall that had become a ruin returned to normal.

  Boom!

  You're killing me! I feel like my blood pressure is rising a bit.

  "Take your time to look at this thing, if you're not interested after looking, then turn around and leave, saying goodbye."

  His eyes twitched, and Jiǔ Mìng flung a small booklet over. What? Can't understand the question?

  No big deal! Anyone who comes here and isn't blind or doesn't have eyes will definitely understand.

  "Hey, hey, with that weird look in your eyes, I'm telling you not to get any strange ideas." In short, after she finished reading that very thin booklet, she stared at Jiumeng with a rather strange gaze, "And! Don't even think about using some kind of weird method to take me out of here!"

  Intuitively told him there would be such a situation!

  "Flattery and clever words won't work on me, I'm a man with experience!" Although he may still be deceived, he generally wouldn't fall for simple, cute acts seeking comfort that would lower his IQ...

  "What's in your hand."

  "Oh? This one? I just got it two days ago, I really like it, and if I were to sell it, it would be very expensive."

  Jiǔ Mìng threw the super-energy crystal in her hand, and a very strange crack suddenly appeared below the super-energy crystal. In Jiǔ Mìng's stunned state, the crack directly swallowed the super-energy crystal...

  Made a mistake?

  How is it possible!

  Due to the mysterious shop's rules, when he obtains something that belongs to someone else, there are considerable restrictions. However, if it were the other way around, his nine lives would also be 'protected', and it seems even more unreasonable. If he takes something from others, it cannot be converted into a storage card, and if others take something from him, it will simply become invalid.

  The divine sword has become scrap iron that's not even as good as a novice's weapon, and the super-energy crystal in his hand was swiped away by the opponent in this manner, but in her hand it's just a pretty glass bead.

  Not to mention that this is still inside the mysterious shop, not outside, where the rules of the mysterious shop are most effective.

  That super-energy crystal that was supposed to be lost again passed through the crack, as if it had come into contact with the air, and fell back into Jiǔ Mìng's hand.

  Scared me to death!

  The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and in the outside world, this thing was probably really going to be ruined by his carelessness.

  What is spatial ability?

  "I've decided to start from scratch."

  One raised eyebrow, nine lives speaking without courtesy, your sister's repeated provocations, opening with such a big killing intent? Who are you trying to scare? Having a bad mood and wanting to vent on others?

  "Want money from me?"

  "Why is it always about money?" Jiǔ Mìng rubbed his head, "The most useless thing here is money! Rare treasures, precious objects, special abilities and whatnot are all fine, but don't mention money!"

  Money, an evil existence...

  How many of the guests who came here have mentioned money so far?

  Name: Crevice

  Type: Skill

  Attribute: Space

  Precautions: Avoid frequent use

  Be careful not to drop it through the gap!

  Forced Collection Consumes Source Energy: 88888.8

  Note: When forced collection targets an ability type, the target will not permanently lose that ability... so be careful of the pursuit after the fact.

  How irresponsible is this remark?

  That's right, it's so irresponsible. Looking at the girl's ability to present herself without any extra explanation, now it depends on whether the seller is a responsible store owner or not.

  Ah... so many eights, are you kidding me?

  Forced collection is a permanent type, not a one-time limited type. The price difference between the limited and unlimited types is tens to hundreds of times different, and the price will also vary depending on the level of the ability user.

  Just like a fireball technique, what can a magical apprentice who has mastered it compare with an existence like a law god?

  In other words, the true value of this ability possessed by the girl in front of him was over 110,000 yuan force!

  Oh no!

  So cool!

  "...Transaction confirmed?" Jiǔ Mìng asked without much hope, recalling the other party's initial unfriendly behavior, and was met with a rather disdainful gaze in response.

  Are you an idiot?

  She didn't say a word, but Jiǔ Mìng understood the implication.

  "Amuse myself." He shook his head, and Jiǔ Mìng picked up the half-pack of tea leaves that had already been restored. "Here, consider this a gift. Hurry back home if nothing's wrong."

  "I think we should have a good talk now." Realizing that she couldn't grasp the nine lives, the blonde girl let out a soft sigh, reined in her aura and revealed a perfect smile. "What do you say, little shopkeeper?"

  "Alright, just don't cheat me..." Nine Nods nodded and pointed to the opposite side, "Sit down."

  Then Jiǔ Mìng could be said to have seen her different expressions, apart from the initial murderous look, a kind of expression that one would have when seeing something novel for the first time. It seemed like she had never seen a sofa before?

  But girl, your acting skills are quite impressive...

  "Cough cough, I've just opened up shop here, so there isn't much merchandise yet. But, I prefer taking on commissions and that sort of thing..."

  It depends on what it is whether I accept it or not.

  "Really? Then can you show me?"

  "Oh, easy!"

  Fifty-year-old fossilized pidan eggs, fifty-day 'life point cards', steel pipes with bursting defense levels, defective electrical abilities, and the super-energy crystal that she had been staring at all along.

  "Alright, that's all for now."

  A row of cards was laid out flat on the coffee table in front of him, and Jiǔ Mìng didn't worry that his opponent would suddenly grab something and run...

  The girl looked at what was in front of her with a fairly calm expression. First, the fifty-year-old preserved egg was directly ignored by her. Can that thing be eaten!?

  Who has such good teeth?!

  Then there was a 50-day 'Life Point Card', which made her look slightly higher at the nine lives, life-related transactions?

  This is a rare example, only fifty days, she can't even see it, for her life journey, this little time doesn't even count as a grain of sand in the Ganges River, except for those short-lived humans who have a strong pursuit at this point.

  It's just fifty days.

  The girl didn't even realize that Jiǔ Mìng just laid out these things and she believed it, without needing Jiǔ Mìng to do any more explanation or demonstration to prove its authenticity.

  Some rules in this mysterious shop...

  Then there's that Nine Lives thingy that can pierce through all sorts of extreme defenses, only one chance to use it though. Looks pretty good, but for now, it's not very useful to her, no need for it.

  Defective electrical capabilities?

  What a strange name.

  "Just think of it as a superpower you get after using it, the kind that crackles with electricity."

  Jiǔ Mìng pinched the card, and it flashed with a few rays of light before disappearing into his hand. Suddenly, a string of unstable electric currents burst out from his hand, crackling and buzzing loudly, looking very intimidating.

  "Is it just this level? It's enough to scare ordinary people."

  With a slight hum, the girl saw the power and immediately showed a disdainful expression. The power was too small! For her, even if she was electrocuted, it wouldn't cause any harm, and she could completely ignore it to the extent of being electrified while standing still for a whole day without moving.

  At the same time, she became a little vigilant, even abilities can be traded... then after the transaction, will the ability still exist for the parties involved?

  "Well, after all, it didn't even reach 1% of the original power." Jiǔ Mìng shrugged his shoulders. Low power? No big deal! Anyway, this ability is also a Thunder-type, with this Thunder-type Super Energy Crystal, the defective electricity should be able to amplify it to not lose out to the Super Electromagnetic Cannon...

  "Huh? A difference of over a hundred times? Maybe the original should be taken more seriously, "But you don't have the original, do you? Using this inferior product to cheat customers?"

  "Of course not, I absolutely guarantee that here, there's no deception of the young or old! Nine lives sworn to it, as long as you haven't offended me!"

  "For now it's just this much, guest, you've asked so many questions, what you're more concerned about is this, right?"

  "Let's put it bluntly, the value of your abilities you've shown before is about six times more than this thing."

  The ratio is a bit low? Of course not!

  Sometimes quantity can overwhelm quality, but more often than not, quantity will never be comparable to quality!

  Some high-quality and affordable crystals are worth between 20-50 yuan, and a few hundred of them would be comparable to the value of this super crystal, so what's the difference?

  In terms of practicality, even several thousand wouldn't be able to compare with the value of this Super Energy Crystal!

  So, the value gap of 'origin' cannot fully define the true value of an item.

  "But you don't have six of the same kind."

  "Of course, so this matter is a bit hard to discuss. So, guest, what 'low-value' thing do you have? I won't be too disadvantaged, maintaining this place also requires consumption."

  "Well, actually, just this one sentence isn't impossible, although it doesn't match my attributes, but it's still somewhat helpful..."
