"Tell me what's the difference between these guidebooks, then I'll consider if I should let you go!" Xiao Chen did not let go of the boy's hand. Instead, he stared at the boy coldly.
He felt that the boy was definitely a liar. Since he had nothing better to do, he might as well play with the boy for a while!
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you …" The boy quickly nodded and took out a few guidebooks from his backpack. He placed them on the ground in front of him.
The cover of the guidebooks were all written with the words "Honorable Mysterious Realm Guidebook". However, the cover was different. Before Xiao Chen could ask, the boy immediately explained, "There are four types of guidebooks here. They are handwritten, normal, hardcover and ancient. Their prices are different too! The one I showed you just now is the normal version. It only costs five Spiritual Jades! "
"Wow, it's just a stupid guidebook. How can there be so many editions?" Xiao Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry as he let go of the little boy's hand. He picked up the different versions of the Venerable Secret Realm guidebook and flipped through them.
Xiao Chen realized that the four versions of the Venerable Realm Guidebook were all different. The handwritten version was messy, and there were many typos. There were even Pinyin notes for places that the Venerable Realm Guidebook couldn't write. It looked like it took a lot of effort.
The normal version was indeed "normal". The words were printed neatly and there were no typos. It felt smoother to read.
As for the hardcover version, it was thicker. According to the guidebook, it was a map of the Honorable Mysterious Realm. However, it looked a little rough. It was hard to tell if it was a counterfeit.
As for the ancient version, it combined the features of the normal and hardcover versions. The only difference was that there were some ancient annotations in between the lines.
However, anyone who had learned a little about the Ancient Language would be able to tell that the remarks were useless after reading it carefully. They were just some notes on the Ancient Language. If one wanted to explore the Sovereign Realm, it would depend on one's strength and luck.
The entire guidebook was not very practical. If that map was real, then only the map was more practical!
After he was done, Xiao Chen knocked on the boy's head with the guidebook in his hand and lectured him, "Look! These guidebooks were clearly the same! You actually divided it into so many different versions and took them out to sell for money? Fortunately, I looked at it in advance. Otherwise, my friend would have been tricked by you! "
"Uh … there's actually a difference!" The little boy scratched his head and pointed at the map in the folder. "Look, there's a map of the Venerable Realm in this hardcover edition!"
"Other than the map, what's the difference?" Xiao Chen laughed and shook his head. He handed the four guidebooks back and said with a smile, "Why don't you sell the map to me? I don't need anything else! "
Xiao Chen did not intend to rob it openly. After all, the other party was just a child. Just now, he wanted to rob the spiritual jades, but it was probably just a moment of greed. It was enough to teach him a lesson. Besides, if he robbed the other party's goods, wouldn't he be the same as a robber? He could not do such a thing!
The little boy held the four guidebooks and stood there in a daze. He did not expect Xiao Chen to return the guidebooks. He did not know how to react for a moment.
"Are you stupid? Or you don't want to admit what I said? " Xiao Chen waved his hand in front of the little boy and said with a smile, "Other than the map, everything else is the same! The handwritten version is just a little sloppy. It doesn't affect the reading! "
"There's … there's a difference!" The little boy came back to his senses and quickly put the four guidebooks back into his backpack. He then shook his head and explained, "Hero, look! I'm selling this handwritten version for two spiritual jades, the normal version for five spiritual jades, the hardcover version for ten spiritual jades, and the high grade ancient version for twenty spiritual jades! Even if there's only a difference in price, it's still a difference! Hero, don't you think so? "
"Pfft …" Xiao Chen could not help but laugh. He did not expect this little kid to be so clever! He was right. There was indeed a difference in price!
"Hahaha!"
Jia Musen, Cheng Mengying, and the other girls were also amused. If these words were said by an adult, they might think that this person was twisting words and a bit brainless. However, when it came from the mouth of a child, the effect was completely opposite. Everyone would only feel that he was smart and quick-witted.
Everyone was teasing the little boy one after another, but Xiao Chen's expression suddenly tensed up. He sensed a familiar cold aura rapidly approaching where he was standing, and he immediately became vigilant.
Since coming to the dock and getting off the bus, Xiao Chen had been maintaining the state of Divine Sense. This place was mixed with crooks and honest people. It was very likely that there would be hidden dangers. In case someone wanted to harm himself or Jia Musen and the others, he could at least detect it in advance and be prepared.
Xiao Chen turned his head slightly and glanced at the place where the aura came from. It turned out to be Tang Qianling swaggering over. Behind him was his lackey, Tang Qianqi, who was bending his waist and knees.
However, the two of them seemed to be talking about something and did not notice the situation on Xiao Chen's side.
"Hero cultivator, do you still want the guidebook or not? If you really want to buy it, I can sell it to you at a 20% discount. What do you think? "Seeing that Xiao Chen did not respond, the little boy was a little anxious. He had not opened his business yet! This hero does not look like a bad person. Business should be able to be done!
"Hmm … How about this, let's make a deal?" Xiao Chen lowered his head to look at the little boy. Suddenly, an idea struck him. He thought of an idea to toy with Tang Qianling.
"What deal? You buy my … "The little boy was stunned. Just as he was about to continue promoting his guidebook, Xiao Chen suddenly pointed at Tang Qianling and whispered a few words in his ear.
"How about it? Can you do it? " After whispering, Xiao Chen straightened his body and patted the little boy's shoulder. "After this is done, you can have all the money you earn. However, as a reward, you have to give me a hardcover guidebook of the Venerable Mysterious Realm!"
"Hmm … Well …" The little boy looked at Tang Qianling and scratched his chin. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! But don't try to trick me! Otherwise, I will go to the Venerable Mysterious Realm Union Association and complain about you! "
"Union Association? What is that … "Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. Wasn't it the Venerable Mysterious Realm Union Association? Since when was there an association?
