Chapter 357: Chapter 213: The Fruit of Malice, Rare Seafood Stall _3
[Top Fin Purple Tuna: A species of pelagic fish that inhabits the upper layers of the ocean. Due to its unique physiological structure, these fish must swim rapidly throughout their lives to survive, a trait that makes them exceptionally robust. Consumption temporarily yet slightly enhances the life attribute of the Shell. Spirit Value: 1000, Remaining Quantity: 5]
[Soft Collar Shark: ...]
[...]
Upon reading the description of the fish being sold at the stand, Lin Xun’s eyes lit up.
"This is a bonus round in the underworld game!"
He was no longer a rookie like Little White, he now understood that within certain Chapters there were unique ’special local items’.
These special local items would not be commonly found. They could only be purchased in specific Chapters, and were available in limited quantities.
The fish being sold at the stand at the moment were ’special local items’.
While these items might not be very useful to him, selling them at the Library could help him earn a sizeable profit.
However, these NPC merchants who engage in trading could be somewhat difficult to swindle...
For a moment, Lin Xun entertained the idea of killing the merchant and taking his goods.
[The ’Fire-worshipping Special Fishmonger’ seems to comprehend your sentiments, he cheerfully warns you that while he is more than willing to sell his seafood to a Medium Ninja like yourself, anyone who tries to rob him will be forever barred from the ’Fish Market’.]
[The next time the fishermen return, you won’t be able to buy these rare fish.]
After pondering for a while, Lin Xun decided to give up on his plan to swindle the merchant.
The goods here seemed to be restocked, getting them for free once would mean losing the opportunity to purchase them again in the future.
Regarding the ’special local items’ that could be restocked, a steady stream of small profits guaranteed prosperity.
Besides, he had enough Spirit currency in his pocket to buy up all the specialty fish at the stall.
He swiftly and generously paid the Spirit currency, purchasing all the fish at the stall.
[The ’Fire-worshipping Special Fishmonger’ happily packs all his merchandise for you.]
[Seeing all his goods sold out and about to wrap up his stall, in his joyous mood, he gifted you a piece of secret information.]
[He’s the only vendor in the entire fish market who sells rare fish. The rest are selling rotten fish and shrimp. Don’t let the malicious merchants fool you, Medium Ninja.]
[Of course, this isn’t really a secret. Anyone who regularly visits the ’Fish Market’ would know this.]
[The real secret is, there is a special merchant hidden deep within the fish market. This person’s wares are of great value and are only sold to nobles. Therefore, ordinary citizens don’t know that there is a special shop hidden deep within the fish market.]
[If not for your generous spending and illustrious identity, he wouldn’t have divulged this information to you.]
[The ’Fire-worshipping Special Fishmonger’ discreetly comes to your side and whispers the location of that secret shop...]
[As he leaves, he hands a charm to you, and with a wave, bids you farewell.]
[You have received a ’Communicating Charm’ (Item)]
[The ’Rare Seafood Stand’s’ cart quickly disappears around the corner of the market...]
"Would you consider this good karma from doing good deeds?"
Lin Xun chuckled and shook his head, opening his inventory to inspect the item.
[’Communicating Charm’ (Item): A special charm made by Yin Yang Master, etched with tadpole-like curse characters. Carrying this item will notify you when new stocks are available at the ’Rare Seafood Stand’.]
The ’Communicating Charm’ and the location of the special shop were likely rewards for spending up to a certain limit.
Swindling had its perks, but fair trade seemed to yield decent returns as well.
Seeing the pile of fish in his inventory, Lin Xun knew that selling these special local items at the Library could double, or even triple his initial cost.
