Xu Huo chuckled. "Can you even believe your own words?"
Seeing him turn to leave, the player running the stall hurriedly stopped him. "All right, all right, I'll sell it to you. Honestly, you can go half a day without meeting anyone who knows what they're looking at, and the one person who does is so stingy... Why can't I ever get lucky enough to meet a rich fairy who throws money around?"
Xu Huo paid and transferred the glass cabinet into the Storage Compartment. Then he casually asked, "Was she a woman wearing a flower hat?"
"You know her? You've met her?" The player counted the money, then hurriedly said, "That's great if you know her. She's been going around paying deposits with a little bag of money. Lots of people took the opportunity to sell her unsalable D- and E-rank junk that isn't worth a thing. I bet she's been swindled out of all her money by now. Who knows if she still has those jewels and accessories on her when she leaves the market..."
Xu Huo continued on. Before long, he spotted the painted woman surrounded by a crowd. Her backpack was indeed empty, but plenty of people were still trying to sell her local specialties and oddly shaped handicrafts.
"I'm out of money, I'm out of money, I'm out of money..." The Communicator kept replaying the same sentence. But rather than give up when they heard it, the people around her pointed at the Gemstone Ring on her hand. "You can trade this for it. We'll take a loss!"
The vendor who'd suggested trading for the Ring tossed his item behind him and pulled out another little trinket. "If you don't like that one, take a look at this. This is absolutely one of a kind!"
