Buying a ring
"Liu Yang, what do you think of that item?" Shysha pointed to a gold ring covered by some designs. The appearance of the ring was beautiful.
The ring appeared to be two smaller rings fitted together.
"The ring is beautiful, but isn't it very flashy? A gold ring" Liu Yang found such a ring exaggerated. He was looking for something else.
"Do you think that?" Shysha also found the ring to be beautiful and ordinary to wear.
"Yes. Let's keep looking to see if there are any other more interesting items" Liu Yang commented.
"OK." The pair walked towards another shelf.
Old Wang opened his eyes and closed quickly when he heard Liu Yang's words. This scene was very similar to the previous one when Liu Yang came to the store for the first time with his friend.
"Shysha, that bracelet looks beautiful" Liu Yang pointed to a silver bracelet with a sun and moon design along with several stars.
The bracelet can be separated into two smaller bracelets, the sun, and the moon.
"Liu Yang, this is beautiful, but I prefer a ring." Shysha commented. She prefers a ring over a bracelet.
"..." He didn't comment and kept silent.
(Shysha, if you wanted a ring, you could have spoken earlier. We could have looked at just the rings) That thought came to his mind.
…
In the end, the duo was in doubt between three rings. One silver and two gold.
The silver ring looked like a small crown for the finger with some spines and strange letters drawn on it. The yin-yang symbol was placed on top of the ring. When the ring is separated, one side will have the yin and the other will have the yang.
One of the gold rings was ornamented with red and blue jewels, some designs like fire and water were drawn. When the ring is separated, the red jewels are with the water designs and the blue jewels are with the fire designs.
The other gold ring was common and didn't have that many ornaments or anything. The only thing that catches the eye is the two jewels at the top and bottom of the ring. When the ring is separated into two, the jewels are separated and some strange designs are shown on the side.
"Liu Yang, which of these three rings do you prefer? I thought this blue and the red ring was beautiful" Shysha liked the colors of the ring, but she preferred the ring to be silver.
"I liked it too, but I prefer the silver ring. It looks less flashy" Liu Yang liked the silver ring more because it looks like a steel ring and doesn't attract as much attention.
"The silver ring is also cool, but how are we going to decide on the ring? We both like different items and only one can be purchased" Shysha commented. She liked the two rings, they can't buy both.
"Shysha, we are going to throw a coin to decide. If it's head, we'll buy the yin-yang ring. If it is a tail, we will buy the blue and red ring. But if the coin stands, we will take the third ring" Liu Yang commented.
"OK. This is a good idea "She agreed with Liu Yang's idea.
"Old Wang, could you throw the coin? This is better "He asked the old man to do this.
"..." Old Wang did not comment on the matter. He just took out a strange metal coin and tossed it high.
The coin was the size of a fist, but thin as an ordinary coin. On both sides, there was a strange type of design, a fist and a bag of money.
Shysha was surprised to see the coin, she knows what that coin is.
(This is an Energy Coin. This old man is very bold about using that kind of thing to make a little game) She thought.
The coin was launched into the air and spun several times before falling slowly. The couple looked at the coin without blinking, they wanted to know the result.
ting… ting… ting…
The sound of something metallic hitting the glass was heard. The glass was strong enough not to be broken after being hit so many times.
The coin spun and spun on the glass counter for a few seconds before stopping. But to everyone's surprise, the coin did not fall and remained standing.
This scene shocked everyone in the place.
Even the old man had to open his eyes to see if what just happened is real or not.
"Shysha, this is ..." Liu Yang didn't know what to say. The thin, large coin did not fall but remained upright.
This means that the ring the pair will buy is the common gold ring.
"Liu Yang, it looks like fate is asking us to buy the common gold ring." Shysha commented.
Since the Bracelet of Fate chose Liu Yang before, the ring appears to be choosing him.
"Yes. It looks like we're both destined to buy the gold ring. Shysha, can you get the ring? I've bought an item here before and I can't touch anything"
"Yes. I'll get the ring" Shysha went to the shelf to get the ring and go back to the counter.
"Old Wang, how much does this ring cost?" Liu Yang asked.
"This ring costs an Energy Coin" he replied.
"!!!!!!" Shysha was surprised by the value. She didn't feel anything being emanated from the ring, so this was not a mystical artifact.
Why was old Wang charging Energy Coins for a common item?
"Sir, why are you charging an Energy Coin for a common item?" Shysha asked curiously. She lacked the courage to offend someone as powerful as old Wang.
"I'm just charging the price according to my customers. Little girl, you're a foreign demon from Europe, so it's normal for me to charge Energy Coins. If you were an ordinary person like the first time he showed up, I would have charged you a euro" Old Wang justified.
"I see ... Here's the Energy Coin" Shysha just paid the asking price. She didn't have the strength to bargain with old Wang.
The difference in power between the two is very large.
"You two can go out. I will close the store" Old Wang asked.
"I appreciate the item. Liu Yang, let's go out "Shysha pulled Liu Yang's hand out the front door.
Some minutes later…
All the while, old Wang looked at the coin standing on the glass counter. He couldn't understand why the coin fell like that.
"Is this really fate? That young man already bought my Bracelet of Fate, now, he got another mystical artifact. Is this young man destined to be someone influential and powerful?" Old Wang wondered as he looked at the coin standing. He did not know the answer to his question.
