Rui Bing's name spread like wildfire in the Wang Family. In less than a day, almost everyone in the Wang Family knew that an expert had come to the village. The best of the young generation in the village, the idol of countless women, Wang Zishi, was defeated before he could even draw his sword! Moreover, this expert was a woman as beautiful as a fairy.
Ye Chong and the rest did not know that they had attracted the attention of many. However, they stayed at the Wang Family's place for the time being. Old Jalopy might have been here 30 years ago, but that was 30 years ago, and 30 years had changed too much. It was like they had entered a completely new society, and everyone became more cautious.
Nighttime.
"Yi Yu, what do you think of these people?" The village master looked at his right-hand man, holding his chin softly. His expression was solemn, and the frailty from the day was gone.
Yi Yu, the middle-aged lady from the day, pondered for a moment and said, "These people seem a little strange, but I can't tell what."
The village master nodded, her beautiful face flickering under the light. After a moment of silence, she said, "Let's wait and see. We need to work hard on this female expert. I think she is as good as Uncle Yun, we must not let such an expert go. "
"Yes, I understand." Yi Yu nodded.
Early the next morning, Ye Chong and the rest were told that the village master could not accompany them, and they were free to wander around.
Everyone was curious about the Wang Family, even Ye Chong and Rui Bing were curious about this ancient village. Ye Chong was curious, but also felt a strong sense of danger. This was a completely unfamiliar environment, and the people here behaved differently from the He Yue galaxy in the Five Galaxies.
From He Yue galaxy to the free space zone, he felt like he was getting further and further away from Mu and Shang. Ye Chong smiled bitterly, he did not know that Mu and Shang were not in the Five Galaxies, but in the He Yue galaxy.
The Wang Family village was huge, of course, only in terms of walking distance. If they used mechs, it would be too small. Ye Chong calculated in his mind that if they used a few mechs, they could take down the village in the shortest time possible. The strength of the Wang Family village had alerted him. Wang Zishi was actually quite skilled, but he lacked actual combat experience. In a village with eight hundred thousand people, how many people like Wang Zishi would there be?
Ye Chong did not believe that Wang Zishi could represent the best here.
If a conflict were to occur, he wouldn't have to worry too much about his and Rui Bing's safety, but the others wouldn't be safe at all. That was what worried Ye Chong the most. If something happened to them, it would be troublesome. Without enough people to pilot the starship, Cornerstone would be nothing more than a pile of rocks. Ensuring everyone's safety was a very difficult challenge for him. However, since he had no other choice, he could only face it head-on.
The Wang Jia Village could be said to be full of antiquity. There was not a trace of modern technology in the entire village. All the buildings here were made of wood and stone. The strong ancient aura made everyone feel like they were in a dream. There were many strange riding animals, which was an eye-opener for them.
There was a large four-legged animal called Wu Meng. Its body was as large as a mountain of flesh, and its feet were wide and thick. However, it was docile and very patient. Sitting on it was very stable, and it was suitable for long-distance travel. The other type was the Claw Beast. It was much smaller, and moved as fast as the wind, suitable for short sprints. Besides, its front limbs were equipped with metal claws, which could be used for attacks.
The streets were wider, and people walked through them. Beastmen riding the Wu Meng and the Claw Beast could be seen everywhere. Tourists dressed in all sorts of strange clothing came and went, making the place lively. On both sides of the street, there were many shops with a dazzling array of goods. Many things were an eye-opener for everyone.
Wang Meng smiled and introduced, "This is the market. This is the largest market within 300 kilometers. There are many merchants coming from all over the place. The goods here are not as abundant as those in the Hundred Tribe Village, but there are still some good things here. If there's anything you like, feel free to take your pick. Haha, the master has given me a large sum of money, so please don't skimp on my behalf. "Wang Meng said the last sentence in an exaggerated tone, leaving a good impression on the others.
Having someone to pay for the goods was a great thing. As a woman, Fei Si's eyes lit up. Rui Bing was also moved. She needed to buy a few more sets of training clothes. Women were always more particular about cleanliness than men.
Very quickly, the men realized how difficult it was to accompany a woman to shop. Looking at the men behind him who had a mountain of things in their hands, Wang Meng could only sympathize with them in his heart. He swore in his heart that he would never go shopping with women again. Even a woman like Rui Bing, who looked like an iceberg, was terrifying when she went shopping. Everyone looked uneasy, except for Ye Chong. He had never lacked stamina and patience. This made everyone admire him greatly.
Ye Chong suddenly stopped and walked towards one of the shops.
Everyone could not help but be slightly startled. Up until now, almost everyone had bought something. Even the knife-scarred man, who was on the verge of death, had bought a dagger. Ye Chong was the only one who remained unmoved, as if nothing could pique his interest. Now that he was walking towards this shop, how could they not be surprised?
Wang Meng lifted his head and saw the words "Treasure Exchange" written on the shop. This guy knew his stuff. He smiled bitterly and followed the rest in.
The moment they entered the shop, they immediately felt that it was different from all the other shops they had seen before. The decor was not luxurious, but it had a unique feel to it. The goods in the shop were pitifully few, only a few dozen items. However, each item was carefully placed in a wooden cabinet, spotless.
Other than Ye Chong and his group, there were no other customers in the shop. The shop owner was a middle-aged man, pale and beardless. There was no smile on his face, as if they were not customers, but creditors.
Ye Chong scanned the shop, and quickly found his target.
"How much for this?" Ye Chong pointed at a brown nut. Everyone's eyes followed Ye Chong's finger to the brown nut. The nut was the size of an ostrich's egg, shaped like an egg. Its surface was lined with grooves, and it gave off a unique fragrance.
However, no one knew what it was.
The shop owner took a look at Ye Chong and said flatly, "Not for sale. Everything in this shop is only for exchange, not for sale. If you want it, you'll have to exchange something of equal value. "
Only for exchange, not for sale? It was the first time they saw a shop like this, and they could not help but be surprised.
Wang Meng had heard of this shop before. It had strange rules, and an eccentric owner. It just so happened that there were many good things in the shop. When he first opened the shop, the strange rules and his stubborn temper had offended many people. Besides, there were many good things in the shop, and many people were jealous of him. There were also people who wanted to take advantage of him, but they all disappeared.
While they did not know who this shop owner was, the master of the manor was very respectful to him, and no one in the manor dared to cause trouble here.
"Exchange?" Ye Chong frowned and tilted his head.
"Yes. Only for exchange, not for sale, "the shop owner emphasized again.
Wang Meng shrugged helplessly at Ye Chong, "I can't do anything about that."
"What do you want in exchange?" Ye Chong asked.
The shop owner stood up and took a closer look at Ye Chong. He did not seem like someone who would make fun of him, so he said, "I don't care what it is, as long as I've never seen it before, I can exchange it."
He thought for a moment, and took out a red thread from his waist pouch. The red thread was as thick as a thumb, bright and clear. Ye Chong found it in the Red Sea. This red thread was left behind after the normal red threads disappeared. It was the essence of the red threads. He had tried it before, and it was very tough. If it were not for the sharpness of his dagger, a normal dagger would not have been able to cut it.
"How about this?" Ye Chong asked.
The shop owner stood up and took the red thread from Ye Chong's hand. He studied it carefully, and looked surprised, "This thing is strange."
As he spoke, he exerted strength in his arms. Weng, there was a muffled sound, and the red thread was suddenly stretched. However, no matter how hard the shop owner tried, the thread would not break.
"Good stuff! Good stuff! It's tough, and the best part is that it's elastic. Top quality! "The shop owner was pleasantly surprised, as he tested the limit of the red thread with his hands. Wang Meng, who was watching from the side, was shocked. This shop owner was no ordinary man, his strength was terrifying. No wonder the master had warned them not to behave atrociously in this place.
"Do you want to exchange?" Ye Chong looked at the shop owner and asked.
"Of course, of course!" The shop owner raised his eyebrows and answered quickly, as he happily handed the fruit to Ye Chong.
"Alright." Ye Chong took the brown nut and walked out of the shop.
"Hey, wait a minute." The shop owner stopped Ye Chong.
Ye Chong looked puzzled, "Yes?"
"What's the name of this thing?" The shop owner asked eagerly.
Ye Chong shook his head, "I don't know. You name it yourself." And he left the shop.
