Scheming Na
"Brother, what are you saying? I was just thinking about whether there was any kind of Spirit Pet Pill that would be suitable for your pet. Quick, hurry up and take out all the Spirit Pet Pill so my beloved pet can have a taste!"
Watching Shopkeeper Wang enthusiastically instruct the shop assistants to bring out the pills, Bell secretly curled his lip.
"I don't believe you for a second!"
Soon, dozens of Spirit Pet Pill were arranged in front of Fina.
Chewing on the roasted mutton in her mouth, Fina was caught in a mental struggle.
The tragic experience is still vivid in its mind, and it still tastes bitter.
In the end, with the encouragement of her owner, Fina hesitated and took two steps forward.
It stretched out its little paw and carefully scraped a small piece off the nearest "Little Pills." It smelled it, licked it, soaked it...
"Pooh!"
Fina spat out the fishy-smelling "Little Pills" from her mouth and turned to look at her owner.
Bell couldn't help but laugh when Fina stared at him with such pitiful eyes.
"Okay, stop fooling around. I was just picking out snacks for you, so of course I won't object if you don't want them."
Bell had previously read in the description of the Spirit Pet Pill that long-term use would be very beneficial to spirit pets, which was why he wanted to buy some for his Little Fina as a snack. Now that Fina doesn't want them, he certainly has no reason to force her.
After hesitating for a moment, Little Fina turned her head back and looked at the pile of "Little Pills" in front of her again.
Actually, Fina was just being cute out of habit. She knew her owner's personality quite well. Since her owner had specifically called her out just to choose "Little Pills," it meant that these "Little Pills" weren't as simple as they seemed.
Fina put away her frivolous manner. She first carefully sniffed the aroma of each pill, then selected a few and carefully tasted them one by one.
"Awooo! Awooo! Awooo!"
Fina waved her little paws and picked out three more pills from the ones she had previously chosen.
"Aww~ (Master, these two are barbecue flavored, and this one is fruit flavored. Would you like to try some too?)"
Bell was very pleased with how his Little Fina, upon discovering the delicious food, didn't immediately enjoy it but instead thought of him, her owner, first.
"I haven't spoiled you for nothing!"
Then Bell rejected Fina's suggestion without hesitation.
Just kidding, Spirit Pet Pill are for pets, okay? He's not so desperate as to eat 'cat food'.
Fina breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her master's refusal.
The little guy picked up three pills and ran to Shanna with tiny steps.
"Awoo~"
o(=ω=)m
Fina placed the pill on the counter in front of Shanna, called out to Shanna, and pushed the pill forward with her little paws.
Whether it was a misperception or not, Bell seemed to detect a hint of flattery in Fina's cries.
"This is for you, I won't eat it."
Shanna patted Fina's head and said with a smile.
After saying that, she hugged Fina tightly. She hadn't seen Fina for a long time and missed her terribly.
After picking out snacks for Fina, Bell lost interest in continuing to shop. It was better to be straightforward than to search slowly on her own.
"Brother, didn't you say you sold Talisman here? Why can't I find any?"
Talisman were one of Bell's main purposes for coming to China. After hearing Shopkeeper Wang say that Talisman were for sale here, he had been looking for them, but he couldn't find a single one.
"Brother, you want to buy Talisman!?"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Bell asked, puzzled. He couldn't understand why Shopkeeper Wang was so surprised.
"No! No problem! I mean, brother, you've come to the right place. I swear to God, even if you search the entire China, you absolutely won't find Talisman better than those sold at our Treasure Pavilion."
Shopkeeper Wang patted his chest excitedly.
You should know that since the ""Pay-to-Win" Style" strategy that was briefly popular a few years ago disappeared, he might not be able to sell a single Talisman in a month now.
"Yes, you're right. Because besides your Treasure Pavilion, there's practically no other place that sells Talisman."
Zhao Youde once again stepped in at a crucial moment to deliver the final blow.
Zhao Youde was so stunned by Bell's extravagant spending that he couldn't recover for a long time.
Although he knew from the beginning that the foreign guest who could be specially sent by the Minister of the International Exchange Department to receive must be someone of extraordinary status.
But that's several thousand Gold Yuan! His monthly salary is only 50 Gold Yuan! Even if he doesn't eat or drink, he still has to save... save... save for a very, very long time to save that much money!
At this moment, Zhao Youde deeply understood the meaning of the phrase "evil capitalism" that those Spirit-Rootless Person often uttered.
At the same time, he could understand why Spirit-Rootless Person would say this with such envy, jealousy, and hatred on their faces.
"Damn capitalism! Humph!"
If it weren't for the presence of VIPs, and the fact that Shopkeeper Wang needed to maintain his image, he would have strangled this scoundrel Zhao immediately.
He had memorized Zhao Que De's face. He announced that, starting today, Zhao Que De was listed as the most unpopular person at the Treasure Pavilion · Hulu Kou branch, without exception!
Although Shopkeeper Wang was so angry that he mentally blacklisted Zhao Youde Youd, this time, he really couldn't refute it.
Since Wand became widely accepted by Cultivator in China, Talisman have essentially lost their place. After all, if Wand can unleash a fireball in less than a second, why would anyone bother preparing Flame Talisman beforehand?
Of course, this doesn't mean that Talisman have completely lost their effectiveness.
Some Advanced Talisman cannot be cast by ordinary people. Or, although they can be cast successfully, it takes a long time and cannot be done instantly like when using Talisman.
However, Advanced Talisman are so precious that you can imagine how valuable they are just from the word "high-level" in their names.
To create a Advanced Talisman, not only are precious materials required, but also a considerable amount of time.
However, these two issues are not the most important. The most important issue is that all master craftsmen capable of creating Advanced Talisman are financially well-off. This leads to the scarcity of Advanced Talisman and their exorbitant prices.
Furthermore, the China Cultivator World has been in a peaceful environment for the past few decades. Occasionally, there are some minor conflicts, but they are mostly caused by some dim-witted idiots.
Faced with these minor skirmishes, few Cultivator would be willing to use expensive, Advanced Talisman.
In addition, Talisman actually have a fairly long shelf life...
In short, the result is that Shopkeeper Wang can't remember when he last sold Advanced Talisman.
