Town Market
Jin continued strolling in the marketplace of the corrupted town till he reached a suitable empty spot, as it appeared to be very strategic for business.
«Good! This place is going to work!» Putting the stack of rabbits on the ground, while leaning on a wall, he starts shouting, "Freshly hunted Rabbits! Only three and a half bronze coins! Take one now!"
The original market price was four bronze coins; however, jin wasn't stupid enough to lower it more than half a currency; after all, he knew that bronze is precious in this town.
Likewise, He obviously won't risk bringing trouble to himself by drastically dropping the market price, and also, the customers might label him as foolish for wasting a fortune.
«Hmph! Just because my rabbits were relatively easy to obtain doesn't mean I will treat my merchandise for granted; that crazed money grandpa might be greedy, but his teachings sure are wise.»
As he was shouting his deal, some of the people walking down the street heard the favorable price, and immediately created a circle around him, as some of them were interested in buying the cheap wild rabbits. In contrast, the others were curious about how this kid could obtain this much earth rabbits.
"Hey, young man, I want three, but can I get a discount?" A middle-aged man with a blue rob spoke to him.
Jin thought about it and found the discount policy logical to increase the sales, "Of course, one rabbit is for three and a half coins, three rabbits for ten coins, five is for sixteen,"
The man responded, "Good! Pack 3 for me,"
I immediately grabbed two rabbits from the pile and lunged my hand in front of the man, "Money first, sir."
The man grinned, reaching his hand on a stack of bronze in his pouch, pulling two parched coins, as he hands them over to the sharp youth, "Here take them,"
After receiving his payment, jin cheerily gave the two rabbits to the man, shouting, "The first sale is done! Get your rabbit before everything is gone!"
After watching the smooth transaction with their own eyes and taking a close look, the rabbits were freshly hunted by a professional from the undamaged fur, as the skin is also valuable in winter;
The hesitant customers start to yell their deals successively.
"I want three here too!"
"Hand me one quickly."
"two here, please."
"Five for me!"
A small commotion start building up, and soon the numerous rabbit's jin once had become a bundle of coins.
"Hehe! Great day of business!" I stood up feeling tickled by the added riches, even though I once amassed a bunch of gold coins, but these profitable deals brought an addictively pleasant sensation to my heart, «Shit! I might be affected by gramps perverted wealth dao!»
As I stretched a little bit, getting ready to leave, I heard many people walking in my direction; from their frowning faces and organized clothes; I can tell they were in some kind of gang.
I was very cautious not to bring any unwanted guests' attention; I even heightened the price at some point to look credible;
«Why would a gang target me? For my money maybe?»
"You! This place is not a public spot for merchants; you need to compensate us with some of your profit," said the fierce man in front; from the look of it, he was most likely the leader of this small gang.
«Oho! Straight to the point! Nice,» I wasn't fazed for one bit; after all, I couldn't sense an ounce of spiritual energy inside their bodies.
Thus, I chose to play my favorite hobby, "playing mindgames with people."
"Oh! This ignorant kid wasn't informed by this! How much should I pay?" I said, acting terrified.
The leader licked his lips, chiming," You owe us 70% of your earnings,"
«Hehehehe, well, well, we have a delusional scammer in our hands.» I thought.
"70%? This is highway robbery! Where are the law enforcement authorities in this town?" jin screamed.
After hearing the word "law," every single gang member started to laugh loudly.
Then, the leader added, chuckling, "Law? There isn't any law in this town; the strong eat the weak is the customary law at this place, and we just randomly have been stronger than you; blame your shortcomings!"
«Umm! This town really suits my taste! Should I kill them? And test If I felt something like every random mc first kill?»
Kneeling on both my knees, I begged, "Noo! Kind sir, this deal is unfair; I only obtained this much rabbits from the collective work of my family!"
"Family? Where?" The man answered; his eyes glowed for a split second as the covetousness and greed changed his behavior; if he can utilize this family to his own profession, he surely would soar in the sky as the richest man in the town.
"It's closer to her deeply hidden in the forest;" I notified.
"Oh! Little kid, If you can show us your tribe, we can spare your life!"
They exchanged ludicrous glances with each other, happily whispering and even giggling.
I acted like a retard, not paying attention to their apparent ill-nature disposition.
letting out, "Thank you, gentlemen! Follow me!"
We walked down the forest path while I'm leading the way till we arrived at a relatively deeper location.
Turning my head, I announced, "Well, gentleman, the touristic tour has come to an end; it's time for a meal!"
With ugly faces not understanding my babbles, they replied, "Kid are you tired of living? We didn't reach your small tribe yet; what do you mean by a meal?,"
«Great opportunity to train my in-depth dao speech!»
"The sword is my mouth; the hand is my jaw, and the ground is my stomach"
<This is total bullshit!>
«Shut the hell up!»
Silence met my weird words; even the vulgar gang members didn't comprehend my magnificent words, «Hmph! You can't appreciate my talent and attainment level; after all, I'm a genius!»
"Ok ok, long story short, you guys going to die now, any questions?"
"What the hell are you talking about, punk?" they cried out.
"Ok, since you have no questions, let's start the «meal»."
Generating my qi, I used my family technique, "Yan sword arts," to slice them up like butter; they didn't even have the time to
Scream, as they heads fell to the ground.
Only leaving the leader alive.
"Speak, what was your real motive Approaching me?"
In his panic, seeing his comrades massacred, he panicked, biting his own tongue from the dreadful fear, "Y-you're a cultivator?"
"No, I'm your pops, call me daddy,"
<Stop playing; why are you wasting so much time with a weakling?>
«Oh! My bad! It's just the first time I experience the famous xianxia face slapping and got carried away.»
"Ok, so it's either you are going to spit out your motives, or you know well what would happen? I'd make you a boxed up blind monk with no legs or arms, worshiping a stone from sunrise till sun fall."
He covered his eyes upon hearing my threats; he kneeled on the ground, talking in an unstable horrified tone, "It was that wretch bitch fault!"
"Wretched who?" I confusedly questioned.
"She's the brothel owner in the town! That bitch deceived me into assaulting your esteemed self,"
«Oh! So that's why! Um, I see. guess I should make her a stone philosopher too.»
"Well, thank you for your cooperation, but you still have to become a stone monk,"
"What!? No!!" he pleaded.
"What!? Yes!!"
Just like that, jin first-day doing business in the town ended.
