“That kid is very talented. I and a few acquaintances have learned a lot about his specialties, so we all really like him and want to pass on our skills and take him around to play and so on.”
The man wearing the clown mask sighed, "It's just that the guardian is too petty. Last time, an acquaintance who was good at treating illnesses taught the child some tricks and gave him a small gift, and he got very angry."
"Is your acquaintance a doctor?"
Bai Zhi asked curiously.
"Hehe, yes, I know all of these people very well. One is a doctor, one is a cameraman, I am now a comedian, and the guardian is a hunter."
The man wearing the clown mask shook his head. "What kind of future can this hunter have? He gets angry when people teach him something good. He has absolutely no tolerance for others."
"The child got angry after learning a little medical knowledge; this guardian is indeed a bit short-tempered."
Bai Zhi nodded in agreement. This medical knowledge seemed more practical than the hunter's knowledge, and it also had a higher social status.
"Who can disagree? We all feel regretful, thinking that a pearl has been tarnished, so we often secretly provide financial assistance to this child."
“Last time, I pretended to be that guardian and gave the child a small reward. The child was quite happy, but the guardian was not happy. He felt that I was abusing his name.”
The man sighed, "How can this guardian, a grown man, be so petty?"
“You did the right thing. If the child is talented, help him more so that he can develop more of his talents.”
After listening to the man's words, Bai Zhi gave him a thumbs up and said approvingly.
"Haha, I feel very gratified to hear you say that, because that child is about the same age as you, and seeing your reply is like seeing that the girl's approval of me."
The man's eyes, peeking through the holes in his mask, were full of smiles; it was clear that Bai Zhi's approval made him very happy.
"You said you're a comedian, do you have an online account? I can recommend one for you. I have some fans and can be of some help."
As Bai Zhi spoke, she took out her phone.
"No need, no need, young lady. I can tell you're no ordinary person, but I'm getting old. Although I'm a comedian, I mostly watch the younger generation do the show now."
The man waved his hand. "Right now, I just want to have some fun and live a good life."
"But little girl, do you still need these strange items?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi looked at the three strange objects the man had placed on the white cloth.
The first one is a Rubik's Cube that looks very cyberpunk.
"This is a mini game room, filled with a lot of gaming equipment. It will change as games and hardware in the universe are updated, always keeping up with the latest hardware, the most complete game library, and constantly refreshed drinks and various foods."
The man chuckled and picked up the Rubik's Cube. "This Rubik's Cube allows two people to enter, and you can set some things, such as having to complete a certain goal before they can get out."
"Inviting your friend to explore this Rubik's Cube together would be a great choice."
"This is great stuff!!"
After listening to the man's explanation, Bai Zhi took the Rubik's Cube in her hand with a look of delight.
Although this artifact's effects are not as powerful as those of items like the Split Gold Coin, which can significantly impact the overall economy of a backward planet.
But honestly, for many people, being able to stay in a quiet little house with a game console and an endless supply of food and drinks is something they could do until the end of the universe.
A homebody like Silver Wolf would definitely love this strange item.
"Uncle, you're really amazing. You found the rare item I needed so precisely."
"Haha, you flatter me. I've been an anonymous visitor for so long, I have quite a bit of experience in this area."
"Uncle, how much are you asking for this rare item?"
Bai Zhi asked with some concern, "This kind of rare item must be very expensive, right? Although I am quite wealthy now, it would probably not be worth it if the price is too outrageous."
"No rush, let's look at the next wonder."
From the sliver of the man's chin that was visible, Bai Zhi could tell that he seemed quite pleased.
He took out a small box containing a crown.
"This is the King's Game, which allows two people to enter. Inside, the two people will draw some cards, and each can ask the other to do what is written on the card."
"This strange item is highly random and fun, and the event cards are also very diverse, making it perfect for people who like to have fun."
"Of course, this strange object is very safe and will not pose a threat to life."
Bai Zhi picked up the box and asked curiously, "What if the other party doesn't do what's written on the card?"
"Hmm... You might be immobilized by the power of the strange object and unable to move for a certain period of time. Unless you have a very strong power, it will be difficult to break free from this immobilizing force."
"Although you can't hurt anyone inside, being immobilized might lead to various embarrassing situations where the other party does things to you, so it's advisable to go in with someone you're close to."
"This kind of prop is more suitable for people who enjoy themselves."
"Great!"
Bai Zhi said sincerely, "Uncle, you understand people who enjoy themselves so well, it's a pity you're not a believer in pleasure."
"Maybe if you give up exploration and turn to pleasure, you might even get a minor job as a messenger."
"I'm getting old and can't take any more of this. Let someone else take over the position of Pleasure Envoy. I, your uncle, have no interest in being the Pleasure Envoy."
"My happiest time was when I was an anonymous traveler with that will-o'-the-wisp companion. It's a pity that things have changed."
He shook his head. "I'm sorry, young lady, you're getting nostalgic again. As you get older, you tend to dwell on the past."
"It's alright, I understand. So, sir, what is this last thing?"
Bai Zhi pointed to the third strange object.
"Oh, this is called a marriage rope. You just tie it to your hand like this."
After tying the red rope to Bai Zhi's right wrist, the man said, "I will find you a suitable marriage."
"This thing feels so dangerous... I hope it won't have any effect on me."
Looking at the red string, Bai Zhi swallowed hard. This thing reminded her of the matchmaker's tool in the Journey to the West. Once you're tied to it, unless you're very strong, it's hard to resist.
"Don't worry, this marriage rope will find you someone who is very close to you and has passionate feelings for you, and it will guide those feelings to create a marriage."
"Of course, this relationship is short-lived. After the emotions are vented, the other person will calm down."
"And you can also refuse this marriage; it's not mandatory."
"Is that so? That's not bad."
Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Uncle, how much are these three rare items?"
"Hmm... little girl, I find you quite pleasing to the eye, and you look a lot like the child I'm sponsoring, so just give me 10 billion credits."
The man said with a smile.
"10 billion?!"
Bai Zhi looked at the man in front of her with some surprise, "Are you sure?"
“These three rare items are definitely worth more than this price. If you give them to me for this price, aren’t you doing charity?”
Bai Zhi did not believe that an unknown person who had acquired so many strange items was someone who did not even know the value of those items.
10 billion may seem like a lot, and for many people it's a lifetime's worth of credits, but for this kind of powerful and practical item, it's basically free.
If Bai Zhi were willing, she could resell these three rare items and potentially reap hundreds or even thousands of times the return.
"That's enough. A lot of money or a little money is just a number. As long as it's enough, that's fine. I just occasionally come out to help that kid and have some fun."
"Well... alright, I'll buy these three rare items. Uncle, give me your account number."
The man handed a QR code to Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi glanced at the profile picture and saw that the other person's ID was "Contentment Brings Happiness," and the profile picture was a laughing face. The person seemed to be the old-fashioned type.
After scanning, Bai Zhi immediately filled in a transfer request for 10 billion credit points and then confirmed it.
"Thank you for your patronage, young lady. I hope you like my gift~"
The man smiled and stuffed the three strange objects into Bai Zhi's arms.
Bai Zhi nodded and walked into the crowd without hesitation.
After walking for a while, Bai Zhi found a secluded spot to try out the mini game room. Only after confirming that it was indeed a rare item did she reopen her phone and find the man's account in the transaction history.
Bai Zhi thought about it carefully, entered a number of 300 billion into the transfer form, and then pressed the transfer confirmation button.
She didn't lack the money, nor did she want to take advantage of this kind-hearted uncle.
Therefore, it's best to buy based on market value whenever possible.
"This little guy is really interesting."
Looking at the transfer information, the man smiled, then looked up at the tall fox-woman girl in front of him.
"Madam, are you here to buy something from me?"
"No, no, no, I meant to ask... when that child came to buy something, did she mention anything interesting, like what she likes or anything like that?"
Chapter 740 Feixiao, who was fooled
Fei Xiao looked around, and after not finding Bai Zhi, he looked at the masked man in front of him and asked the question he had just asked in a low voice.
"This...isn't that inappropriate? That person was my customer, after all. Asking me to sell out my customer's information would violate my business integrity."
The masked man sounded very troubled.
Fei Xiao frowned, took out a stack of blue credit point cards and handed them over, "There are two million credit points in here, can you tell me now?"
"Actually, I think we can still be friends. It's normal to talk about other things with friends from time to time."
The masked man spoke with a smile, "It seems this young lady is quite interested in that girl. May I ask, what is your relationship with her?"
"That's not a question you should be asking, is it?"
Feixiao was somewhat dissatisfied.
"Isn't this because I'm afraid you'll do something bad? What if you do something bad and get arrested, and the Earthly Balance Division comes after me? Wouldn't that be a terrible injustice?"
Fei Xiao took a deep breath and said calmly, "She is my savior, and I want to express my gratitude, so I came to inquire about her."
"I see, I understand now. I knew it, Miss, you don't seem like the kind of evil person."
"However, this life-saving grace is indeed a great grace. If it were in the ancient legends of the Immortal Ship, the fox spirit would probably have taken the initiative to come to the door and offer herself to repay the grace."
The masked man chuckled and said a lot, while Fei Xiao clenched his fists, "Do I look like a fox spirit to you?"
It wasn't that she disliked fox spirits, but she felt that the fox spirits in the ancient legends of the Immortal Boat all looked weak and frail, as if they could be knocked down with a single punch.
Her current attire is so imposing that she must be called a "fox warrior," possessing the strength to ride a horse on her arm and shatter rocks with her wrist.
If she were to become a fox spirit, she would definitely become a female general, capable of conquering the country.
"Uh...you certainly don't seem like a fox spirit."
The man, concerned with appearances, paused for a moment, then laughed even more heartily.
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Now, can you tell me why that child came here?"
Fei Xiao maintained his decisive attitude and asked the core question directly.
"No problem, no problem. Since you've shown your sincerity, I'll naturally tell you. Actually, that young lady came here to buy gifts for her two girlfriends."
"Buying gifts for his two girlfriends?!"
Fei Xiao was taken aback, somewhat disbelieving that Bai Zhi actually had two girlfriends.
This sounds a bit beyond her imagination.
Because in her memory, Bai Zhi was actually a pretty pure person, but it turns out she had two girlfriends.
Generally speaking, because the path to immortality has been torn apart, the desire for immortality among the Vidyadharas is actually quite weak.
Is this guy lying to her?
"Miss, you seem a little skeptical? That's normal, after all, everyone has their own filter. But from what I've observed, when that girl was paying, the screen showed a picture of a silver-haired girl, and she was really pretty."
"That silver-haired girl... she looks familiar. Let me look for her."
The masked man fiddled with his phone for a bit, then found a few pictures.
"Ah, yes, that's it, the Star Core Hunter Silver Wolf. Oh dear, maybe I'm mistaken. This is a Star Core Hunter."
Feixiao glanced at the photo and she did have some recollection of it. Because of the Hulei incident, the Shence Mansion had mobilized surveillance footage from the vicinity of Baizhi's route.
