Pi Xi volunteered to walk in front and lead everyone to the market.
But as they walked, Angor sensed that something was wrong.
Before coming here, Angor noticed that the market was on the right side of the display stand. Why was Pi Xi leading them to the center of the square?
Puzzled, Angor followed Pi Xi to the square.
As soon as they arrived at the square, they saw a long line in the center of the square. The line stretched from the square all the way to the entrance of the station.
The people in the line were all people who came here to add more pages to the display stand.
Usually, Piluxiu's station would rarely see so many people, especially from different races. No one expected the unexpected arrival of the singers and Yusens to bring so many people to Piluxiu's station.
Pi Xi, who was in charge of the market, saw this and had an idea. He called out all the vendors in the market area and set up a long stall area on both sides of the line.
In Pi Xi's own words, "To relieve the boredom of waiting in line, I added a little service so that people won't feel too tired. "
This was why Pi Xi didn't take them to the market. Instead, they went straight to the square where all the vendors were already.
Angor didn't comment on Pi Xi's words. Luigi rolled his eyes at Pi Xi and retorted, "You're using this as an opportunity to promote your products, and you're making it sound like you're doing it for the good of the people in line. "Alright.
Pi Xi explained, "We didn't force them to buy or sell. We just wanted to show them Piluxiu's special products. "Alright.
Luigi snickered. "For example, tooth dye? "Alright.
Pi Xi chuckled awkwardly. He wanted to tell Angor that tooth dye shops were all outside, and there was no such service in the stall area. But he didn't dare to say anything.
He couldn't help it. Luigi was his creditor, after all.
Following Pi Xi, the group arrived at the newly added stall area.
When they arrived, Angor realized that Pi Xi was actually quite good at this.
The stall area was bustling with people.
This was expected. Pi Xi wasn't wrong when he said "to relieve the boredom of waiting in line". Compared to waiting in line, it was indeed a good thing for the people waiting in line to be able to see some special products.
So, it was only natural for the place to be lively.
The reason why Angor believed Pi Xi to be a good talker was that Pi Xi never talked too much.
Piluxiu, who had set up the stall, had obviously been trained by Pi Xi. Although they were on both sides of the queue, they did not take the initiative to attract customers. Only when customers asked about the items on the stall would they take the initiative to explain.
Setting up a stall in such an orderly manner was undoubtedly a plus point. At the very least, the people in line would not feel offended.
Other than that, there was something else that was also a bonus.
The whole area was very orderly.
The source of order came from the number plates in the hands of the people in the queue.
These number plates were distributed by the Crystal Eye Race guards. According to the order of arrival, the numbers on the number plates were from the smallest to the largest.
The Crystal Eye Race guards would call out numbers in order of priority. The number that was called could directly enter the Crystal Palace in the center of the square.
And this crystal palace was the temporary work area for displaying the additional pages of the book.
This also meant that even if the people in the queue temporarily left the queue and went to the stalls to check out the goods, they would not be bothered by the long queue.
With order, it would naturally leave a good impression on the people in the queue.
As for why the guards of the Crystal Eye Race were the ones calling out the numbers? This was actually not difficult to understand. Regardless of whether it was in terms of strength or prestige, the guards of Peluxiu were not enough to convince the masses. However, the guards of the Crystal Eye Race were different. After all, this was Crystal City, the headquarters of the Crystal Eye Race. The guards of the Crystal Eye Race naturally had a geographical advantage. Even if there were people who were nitpicking, they would not dare to provoke the tiger's whiskers in other people's territory.
Another reason was that the Crystal Palace in the center of the square was something Piluxiu borrowed from the Crystal Eye Race. It was an imitation of a crystal shell.
Crystal
The Crystal Eye Race guards stayed here to protect the crystal shell.
Angor had to admit that Pi Xi's temporary stall did not hurt Piluxiu's reputation. Instead, it was a plus point.
Angor was quite impressed by this.
Pi Xi smiled at Angor's compliment. He liked Angor even more. But Luigi did not hold back. "That's just for show. The real Piluxiu's stall is not so well-behaved. That's right. "
Luigi was right. But Angor still felt that Piluxiu's skills were too low. Putting in some effort on the surface could at least be considered an improvement.
As they joked around, they began to wander around the stall area.
…
About ten minutes later, Angor was holding a golden pouch and a small box in his hand.
These were his loot from his trip to the stall area.
The golden pouch looked like a pitcher plant cage, except it was golden in color. This was the famous Golden Filament Pouch. It was a special transplanted organ that could create a space inside a person's body that could hold objects.
In other words, it was a space storage.
Angor did not care much about the pouch's effect. What he cared about was the material of the Golden Silk Belly and how it worked.
Stable space storage was still very rare in the wizarding world.
There were two major difficulties in crafting space storage. First, materials were scarce. Secondly, space storage used by wizards required an extremely rare main material — Greyspace Microbes.
Greyspace Microbes were extremely rare. Currently, they would only drop steadily during plane fusion or during the construction of Sorcerer's Garden.
Other than that, they could only try their luck in the void.
Plane fusion and Sorcerer's Garden were not common occurrences, which caused the price of Greyspace Microbes to remain high in the auction house.
A unit of Greyspace Microbes would cost about 500 to 600 magic crystals.
Usually, it would take more than ten units of Greyspace Microbes to craft a small, stable space storage. Angor's bracelet, for example, used ten units of Greyspace Microbes.
In other words, a small space storage would cost about 6,000 magic crystals. And this was only the main material. Auxiliary materials might be easier to find, but they would not be cheap either.
For example, Plane Dark Erosion Fragments and Plane Breeding Fragments were both necessary auxiliary materials, and their prices ranged from hundreds to thousands of magic crystals.
The second problem was that crafting space storage was very difficult. Crafting a space storage required the skills of an alchemist.
At the very least, one would need to have the title of "Alchemist".
Alchemists were already rare talents in the southern wizarding region, and there were even fewer alchemists who could craft space storage.
These two problems made it very difficult to popularize space storage in the southern wizarding region.
Many wizards were still using single-use space capsules, which meant they did not have a stable and sustainable space storage.
But now, almost 80% of people in the inner city of Pipi Castle already had Golden Bellies. This meant that the materials of Golden Bellies would not be too expensive, and the crafting method would not be too difficult.
Otherwise, they would not be able to popularize them.
Angor bought the Golden Bellies to study the materials and crafting methods.
If he could modify and replicate them successfully, the value of his creation would be immeasurable. After all, the demand for space storage in the southern wizarding region had always been high.
As for why he did not sell the Golden Bellies? That would not work.
The Golden Bellies required polymerization energy to be used, and wizards did not have such energy, so they had to modify them to use them.
The Golden Bellies Angor had now were the smallest ones available. The space inside was about the size of a three-compartment room.
According to the usual price, the smallest Golden Bellies would cost about 30,000 crystals.
Of course, Angor did not have that many crystals on him. However, he might have earned some points from Pissy's previous visit.
Pissy also wanted to please Luigi and Laplace, so he gave the Golden Bellies to Angor on credit.
Yes, it was only on credit, not free.
Angor still had to pay the debt later.
Angor was quite satisfied with the result. He did not need the crystals when he sold the login device anyway. He would just consider it as an early payment.
Even if the login device was not sold to the public, he could still sell items in the real world to raise money to pay off his debt.
For example, the Tluo people loved dandelions, which were weeds in the real world. Reselling them would bring him huge profits without any cost. Even if the Tluo people could not buy many dandelions, they should be able to sell the thirty thousand crystals to pay off the debt.
With the Golden Bellies in hand, Angor quickly performed a basic inspection.
He could not tell what the material was, but he had a general idea of how to operate it. The Golden Bellies needed to be continuously nourished by polymerization energy to keep them active.
This was why the Golden Bellies had to be implanted into people's bodies. Only by doing so, the polymerization energy could nourish the Golden Bellies all the time.
If there was no polymerization energy, he could choose to feed the Golden Bellies crystals every once in a while. However, that would consume a lot of energy.
If the Golden Bellies were not taken care of for a long time, they would lose their activity and "wither away".
This was a bigger limitation than Angor thought.
The space items used by wizards all had a constant space and did not need any energy to nourish them. As long as they were not deliberately destroyed, the space items could last forever.
However, the Golden Bellies not only had to be fed energy regularly, but they also needed to be connected to the body's circulation. Otherwise, they would "wither away". This was far inferior to the space items used by wizards.
As far as Angor knew, the space items used by wizards were real space items with constant space.
The Golden Bellies, on the other hand, were stable space items.
Constant and stable, on the surface there was not much difference, but the effect was as different as heaven and earth.
However, even if the Golden Bellies were only stable space items, they could be modified and maintained for a long time by using mana or magic crystals.
The Golden Bellies would sell well.
Still, they would be much cheaper than real space items.
Since he did not have enough time, and Pi Xi was right beside him, Angor could not dissect the Golden Bellies. He only gave it a quick inspection and put it away.
Apart from the Golden Bellies, Angor also bought a special button.
It was the item inside the small box.
It was an ordinary-looking button.
As long as the button absorbed the body fluid of a creature, it could quickly contact the corresponding creature within a hundred kilometers by pressing the button.
The red, green, and white buttons installed in Pippi Castle were similar to this button.
It was similar to the communication devices used by wizard organizations.
Angor also had a mushroom called "Voice Mushroom", which allowed its offspring to communicate with its mother over a long distance. The effect was similar to a button.
However, the way the button worked was different from the communication devices and Voice Mushrooms.
Angor bought it for research purposes.
As for the price of the button, it was fifty crystals. Since it was not expensive, Angor paid on the spot.
Apart from the button, Angor also saw many other interesting items, many of which had research value. However, they were all more expensive than the button, so Angor gave up on them for now.
After buying the Golden Bellies and the button, Angor's tour of the stall area came to an end.
It was a good harvest.
However, Angor was puzzled about one thing. Didn't Peddler Pilucci bring a lot of Invention Rats here? Why didn't he see any of them here?
Angor was not interested in Invention Rats at all. He already played the Riddler in front of Luigi. If he showed no interest, he would be exposed.
So …
That was why he asked about the Invention Rats.
"Invention Rats?" It took Pi Xi a while to realize what Angor was talking about. "Mister, you mean Pi Feifei?" Pi Feifei.
"Pi Feifei?" Both Angor and Luigi were surprised to hear the name.
Starting with "Pi", wasn't this the name that the rich and powerful of Piluccio liked to use?
With that in mind, he asked for more information about Pi Feifei. After Pi Xi's explanation, Angor finally understood that Pi Feifei was an Invention Rat.
However, Pi Feifei was the first Invention Rat.
She was the smartest Invention Rat, who could even write her own papers.
As for why Pi Feifei was called Pi Feifei, it was because Pi Feifei was favored by a powerful man.
"Pi Feifei didn't come to the party. If you're interested in Pi Feifei, you can go to Pippi Castle …" Pi Xi paused and continued in a serious tone, "But Pi Feifei isn't for sale. "Alright.
We're not talking about Pi Feifei. We're talking about her descendants. "Alright.
When Pi Xi heard that he wanted descendants, his expression became relaxed again. "If it's Pi Feifei's descendants, then there are quite a lot. However, although Pi Feifei's descendants were smart, none of them could surpass Pi Feifei. Also, many of them are really stupid. "Alright.
Angor: They haven't seen the smart ones yet, but they've already seen the dumb ones.
"I heard that some peddlers brought Pi Feifei's descendants, including the Peel Family. Pi Feifei is staying at the Peel Family right now. How about I ask someone from the Peel Family for you? "
Pi Xi looked at Angor first. Since Angor didn't say anything, he looked at Luigi.
Luigi still remembered the riddle Angor told him about the little hamster in the cage. He looked at Angor and asked, "Do you want to see the Invention Rats? Or should we go to Parrot and buy the one?" "…"
Angor didn't know what to say. Parrot's Invention Rat was really stupid. Why should he buy it?
Angor complained in his mind, but to save his face, he kept a calm face. "Don't worry about Parrot. Let's see the Invention Rat first. "…"
Luigi nodded and said to Pi Xi, "Did you hear that? "…"
Pi Xi didn't know what "Parrot" meant, but he understood Angor's meaning. "Okay, I'll go and ask. "…"
With that, Pi Xi walked into the crowd.
