461 I’m Very Poor
“Isn’t this the antique market?” Lin Bei joked.
“Yes, more or less. This place is like the antique market on Ocean Blue Planet!”
“You should be able to find the Holy Spirit Evil Warding Spell you’re looking for here,” Li Sansi explained.
“But didn’t the Queen of Brightness say that the Holy Spirit Evil Warding Spell is in the stone tablet?” Lin Bei was puzzled.
“If you want to enter there, you will need to go through a lot of troublesome procedures. It’s too time-consuming,” Li Sansi replied.
As he spoke, Li Sansi brought Lin Bei to the entrance of a shop.
Lin Bei looked up. On the plaque of this small shop were the words “Harmonious Divine Fortune Shop”.
This plaque looked old and worn. The words on it looked like they had been painted many times and had become mottled again.
Ding! As the doorbell rang, the two of them pushed open the door of the shop and entered.
There was a very tall counter in the shop. Li Sansi had to tiptoe to see the counter.
Behind the tall counter was an old man wearing reading glasses. He was looking at a book that had already turned yellow and was muttering something.
The sudden doorbell interrupted the little old man.
“Welcome, esteemed guests.” Seeing the two of them enter the shop, the old man immediately took off his glasses and walked out of the counter.
The old man was not tall and only reached Lin Bei’s chest. His long hair was tied into a bun and he was wearing a greenish-yellow robe. He looked like a fortune-teller from the Ocean Blue Planet.
“Hello, old mister. Do you have the Holy Spirit Evil Warding Spell here?” Lin Bei asked directly.
“Of course.” He looked at Lin Bei and smiled.
With that, the little old man returned to the counter and rummaged under it.
“That’s right, this is it.” The old man patted the dust off the book and handed it to Lin Bei.
“These three are Holy Spirit Evil Warding Spells. I found them many years ago.”
Lin Bei took the books.
These three books looked very old, but it was obvious that they were well protected and even wrapped in book covers.
On the cover were the words Holy Spirit Evil Warding Spell (Part 1), Holy Spirit Evil Warding Spell (Part 2), and Holy Spirit Evil Warding Spell (Part 2).
There were also two small words written on the bottom right corner: Bright Moon.
“So these are the Queen of Brightness’s!” Lin Bei was shocked.
“It took me a lot of effort to find this Holy Spirit Evil Warding Spell back then.”
“Moreover, the owner of this original book copied it very clearly. I saw many annotations.”
“One book will cost you 5,000 Harmony Coins. How about that?”
“Also, if you buy the entire set, you can buy two and get one free!” The old man’s eyes flashed.
“Three books. Buy two and get one free. That costs 10,000 Harmony Coins!” Lin Bei calculated in his heart.
“But I’m new here and don’t have money.” Lin Bei turned to look at Li Sansi.
Li Sansi saw Lin Bei’s gaze and knew what he was planning.
“This kid’s eyes. If I’m not wrong, he wants me to pay!” Li Sansi panicked.
His face was pale and he was sweating profusely. He did not dare to look at Lin Bei.
He had saved up a lot of money to buy shoes a few days ago. Now that he had to fork out so much money, even if it killed him, he did not have it!
“Don’t look at me. I bought these with my money some time ago.” Li Sansi mustered his courage and pointed at the roller skates on his feet.
Lin Bei looked at Li Sansi and then at the shoes under his feet, feeling helpless.
Li Sansi looked at Lin Bei and thought that he and Lin Bei had only met by chance. Even if he had this money, he would not help others fork out money for no reason.
“Other than this Holy Spirit Evil Warding Spell, is there any other way to deal with the power of fear?”
“It’s cheaper. I…” Lin Bei touched his pocket that was cleaner than his face and asked in embarrassment.
“Haha, young man, it’s fine.”
As he spoke, the shopkeeper lowered his head again and rummaged through the counter. Soon, he took out a stack of talismans.
“This is cheap.”
“These are the talismans I wrote when I first obtained these three books and studied them myself.”
“They’re all made through the Holy Spirit Evil Warding Spell. They can suppress all evil power.”
“100 Harmony Coins apiece. Buy two and get one for free! Take a look.”
As he spoke, he handed a talisman to Lin Bei.
“This is worth it! Cheap!” Lin Bei brought the talisman to Li Sansi.
“This…” Seeing this, Li Sansi was in a difficult position.
“As the big shot of the Harmonious Development Group, you should still have 200 coins, right?” Lin Bei looked at Li Sansi with stars in his eyes.
“Damn.” Li Sansi was helpless.
Gritting his teeth, he took out two 100 Harmony Coins from his pocket.
“I’m convinced! Buy them!” Li Sansi handed the money to the shop owner and shouted in his heart, “I forgot that this kid doesn’t have a single cent left! What a loss!”
“Three, here you go.” The shopkeeper gave Lin Bei two more.
Looking at the talismans in his hand, Lin Bei was very satisfied. At the same time, he was very grateful for Li Sansi’s help.
“Brother Sansi, thank you for your generosity and help me resolve my worries.”
“Thanks to your help, you also contributed to dispelling the power of fear!”
“…”
All kinds of nice words were said again and again, as if they were free. Li Sansi felt smug.
“Alright, stop.” Li Sansi woke up from Lin Bei’s sweet words.
He took out a piece of white paper. “Come on, write an IOU.”
Lin Bei looked at the white paper in Li Sansi’s hand and thought to himself, “Alright, all the good words were for nothing.”
Lin Bei took the white paper and wrote an IOU. “From Li Sansi, I’ve borrowed 200 Harmony Coins today. I’ll definitely return them in the future!”
It was signed by Lin Bei.
“In the future? What do you mean by the future?” Li Sansi looked at the IOU Lin Bei had written and his eyes widened.
“Damn, don’t I have to deal with the Fear Incarnation first!”
“There are so many good things here. I’ll definitely come and return them to you!” Lin Bei said firmly.
Li Sansi saw that Lin Bei was not lying. “Alright, I believe you.”
As he spoke, he waved his sleeve and the IOU turned into a white light that bound Lin Bei and Li Sansi.
“Alright, the contract is set. You can’t escape.” Li Sansi smiled in satisfaction.
“Stingy,” Lin Bei thought.
However, although Li Sansi was stingy, he was still grateful that Li Sansi was willing to lend him money.
After all, being willing to lend him Harmony Coins saved him a lot of trouble. Otherwise, he would have to go to the Harmony Hall to accept missions to obtain Harmony Coins.
By then, it would probably be too late.
However, since he was here, it was not appropriate not to go to the Harmony Hall. He could take advantage of the free guide.
He also wanted to see what missions were there. If there were suitable missions, he could take one or two and earn some Harmony Coins.
When he came again, he could buy anything he wanted.
“Why don’t you bring me to the Harmony Hall? I’ll familiarize myself first.”
“When the time comes, I’ll earn money to return it to you.” Lin Bei had a flash of inspiration.
“Alright, let’s go!” When Li Sansi heard that Lin Bei would return the money, he became excited again.
Then, Lin Bei left the shop. Under Li Sansi’s lead, he arrived at an office building on the side of Harmony Square in the central area of the Harmonious Development Group’s camp.
