It seemed he had to start preparing early.
Feiyun furrowed his brows.
Feiyun had just gone out for a short while when he was surrounded by fellow "Gold Seekers."
"Feiyun, it looks like you found quite a few good things in there," said the four people blocking his way.
The one at the front eyed the bag in Feiyun’s hand, staring greedily.
Feiyun hid the bag behind him.
"There’s not much. Brother Bai, if you went in, you would definitely get more than me," Feiyun said with a forced smile. The moment Brother Bai’s hand reached for his shoulder, he quickly dodged and walked away.
He couldn’t afford to waste time here; he had Crystal Cores to exchange for goods.
Even though this so-called supermarket was strange and potentially full of traps, everything was fine for the time being.
Feiyun ran so fast that Brother Bai let out a cold laugh as he watched him go.
"Brother Bai, that kid... let’s go in and take a look too," they suggested. The kid was fine on his own and had brought out so many things.
With the four or five of them, surely nothing would go wrong.
"Let’s go in," Brother Bai said, giving another glance in the direction Feiyun had left.
Like Feiyun, they were all "Gold Seekers." They came immediately after spotting the supermarket, only to find themselves beaten to the punch.
"That kid, it seems he snagged quite a lot of treasures."
Since that was the case, they decided to go in and take a look too.
When Brother Bai and his group moved, the other Gold Seekers nearby were also itching to follow.
Su Yinhe saw off one customer, only to welcome even more.
Su Yinhe patted Lin Murong to signal him to get to work.
Then, with a clear conscience, she leaned on Chi Yan.
You two dog men and women.
Lin Murong really wanted to curse.
But, looking at Su Yinhe’s face, he swallowed his anger.
He couldn’t curse; cursing would earn him a beating.
And a mixed-gender double beating at that.
He was just a pitiful little boy, unable to beat them, wailing...
Lin Murong wanted to wail some more...
"Alright, cut it out and get going," Su Yinhe gave him a push.
When facing Su Yinhe and the others, Lin Murong looked wronged, but as soon as he turned around, his expression immediately changed.
"Welcome, the price list is right here," Lin Murong greeted the customers earnestly.
The customers who witnessed the whole process of Lin Murong’s transformation: "..."
Although Lin Murong seemed very friendly and approachable, the new customers were still shivering.
"What are you shaking for, do I look fierce?" Lin Murong said, immediately upset by their shivering.
The new customers: "..."
They didn’t know either, they just felt like shaking; they couldn’t control their bodies.
Their bodies had a mind of their own.
Not governed by their brains.
"No... nothing," eventually, Brother Bai withstood the pressure, though he didn’t seem to handle it very well.
"Is that so? Go on in," Lin Murong’s face changed in a second, fierce again.
"Alright alright," Brother Bai could bend or stand tall as the situation required, nodding and bowing.
After entering and no longer seeing Lin Murong, Brother Bai and his group immediately changed their expression.
"Brother Bai, that guy... He’s no simpleton." Brother Bai was still okay, his superpower level was high, and he could withstand the pressure, but the person beside Brother Bai was having a bit more trouble.
Had they not left just now, they would have ended up kneeling.
"Indeed," Brother Bai wiped off the sweat from his face, "I have no idea how that kid Feiyun managed to leave."
So many of them entered together and were shaking, but that Feiyun...
"It seems he’s gotten a lot more powerful. You guys need to put in more effort," Brother Bai said with disappointment.
The person beside Brother Bai was trembling, but thankfully, the pressure from Brother Bai wasn’t as overpowering.
Their trembling wasn’t as severe as before.
Brother Bai and his crew didn’t carry many Crystal Cores and had only exchanged a small amount of money, but this little bit of money was enough to buy a lot of stuff.
The person beside Brother Bai really wanted to reach out and just take food.
"Brother Bai, look at this chicken leg, this color, is it seducing me?"
Brother Bai: "Say one more word, or give this chicken leg that kind of look again, and I’ll knock your head off."
They hadn’t even paid yet, and he wanted to eat; did this idiot forget about the people outside?
That very oppressive man.
"Alright, alright, I’ll resist," he said he would resist, but his eyes were still glued to the chicken leg.
Sometimes, leading a few fools like these can be rather helplessness.
Tired as they were, they still had to live.
The little bit of money they had exchanged, although enough for a lot of things, couldn’t last them for very long, and they had burned through all the money they’d exchanged in no time.
"Brother Bai, why do we have so few Crystal Cores?" the person following behind Brother Bai couldn’t help but ask.
"How would I know you guys don’t bring any Crystal Cores when you go out?" The Crystal Cores they exchanged for money were all taken out by Brother Bai himself from his pocket.
He couldn’t remember when he had put them there.
He had no recollection at all.
They must have been placed there a long time ago.
The tiny Crystal Core was uncomfortable in the pocket, so he had forgotten to take it out.
"That... Crystal Cores aren’t that useful anymore. They’re only used for betting when playing cards."
"Fine, fine. When we get out, we’ll leave two... no, one person outside to watch, the rest go back and fetch Crystal Cores. Take all the Crystal Cores you use as table leg stabilizers, there’s so much stuff that can be bought with them, we can’t let others benefit from them."
As they spoke, they didn’t dare waste time and went out to settle the bill.
When paying, the sight of Lin Murong’s cold face made them shake once more.
Brother Bai was okay, only his hands shook, not his legs.
The rest were shaking all over.
It made Lin Murong take several more glances at them.
Lin Murong didn’t understand; he was such a benevolent person, why would they shake at the sight of him?
The group left shaking on their feet after settling the bill.
After they went out, Chang Ying was somewhat incredulous, "Damn, I can’t believe it was that simple to leave. I thought we were going to have a fight. No wonder that kid Feiyun was so calm."
"Then why were you shaking?" Brother Bai glanced at Chang Ying’s legs, which were still trembling.
"I... cough cough, it’s not my fault. Boss, you were shaking just now too," Chang Ying coughed twice, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"That was then... You bunch of idiots, that Feiyun must have gone back to fetch Crystal Cores. Hurry up, don’t let Feiyun clear out all the good stuff by the time you get there," Brother Bai said and then suddenly thought of Feiyun.
Actually, even if Feiyun had many Crystal Cores, he couldn’t buy up the whole supermarket as it was too big.
But still, they were unwilling to let Feiyun get ahead.
Always him first, they were not pleased.
