Chapter 7: What's the point of buying a dead one?

  As the wind blew, Su Leng looked in the direction of the sound and saw five or six young men and women with different skin tones, hair colors, and eye colors standing not far away. The one who had just spoken was a girl holding a mage's staff, with ash-blonde curly hair and green eyes.

  Judging from their attire and weapons, they were obviously an adventuring party composed of adventurers from different professions. Su Lengfeng was not surprised to see people of different races in the same party, as ordinary residents lived on different continents according to their race and nationality, but adventurers and mercenaries did not distinguish between nationalities and continents.

  Those several deep-set-eyed white people should be from the Western Australia continent. Among them, that young man who is over two meters tall, has a sturdy build and skin as black as coal, is estimated to be from the Black Tower people of the North Star continent. There are also two men with black hair and black pupils, who are from the Eastern Continent.

  The eastern continent that Su Leng Feng crossed over to was inhabited mostly by people of the yellow race, with surnames and names that were also very oriental.

  "Thanks." Su Lengfeng nodded at the girl and turned to ask the shopkeeper, "How much for this egg?"

  "Ah?" The girl had just said that this was a dead egg, and the partner was secretly resentful, when suddenly Su Feng asked about the price of the dead egg, thinking he had misheard.

  "How much is this egg?" Su Ling repeated with a frown.

  "Hey, you're not going to buy this dead magical egg, are you?" The girl from before spoke up again, taking two steps forward and grabbing onto Su Langfeng's sleeve.

  Su Ling gently pried open the girl's hand, although she didn't want to get entangled with strangers, but seeing that the girl had kindly reminded her, she nodded and said: "I plan to buy."

  "Big sister..."

  Liu'er heard that Su Lengfeng was going to buy this dead egg, so she hastily called out to Su Lengfeng in a soft voice. But before she could finish speaking, she met with Su Lengfeng's cold and eerie gaze, which scared her into immediately falling silent.

  "What? You're buying a dead egg too? Are you crazy?! Who would spend money on something they know is already dead?" The girl raised her voice and said urgently.

  The other guests in the store also looked at Su Lingfeng with a silly expression.

  "I'll buy it and stew it." Su Lingfeng said with a poker face. As soon as the words fell, Su Lingfeng seemed to see that "dead egg" tremble again...

  “……”

  After hearing Su Lengfeng's words, the crowd in the store collectively slid over a few black lines at the corners of their eyes.

  "Ferris, don't delay others' business, hurry back." At this time, a blond-haired and blue-eyed young swordsman, who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, walked out of the group of adventurers and pulled the girl back into the team.

  "But she..."

  "No buts, hurry up and feed your Snow Eagle, we still have a long way to go."

  The girl named Phyllis wanted to say something, but seeing the swordsman's serious expression, she swallowed her words and went to pick up the magical creature eggs.

  The young swordsman glanced at Su Lengfeng without leaving any trace and also withdrew his gaze.

  "How much?" Su Lengfeng asked the silly-looking fellow.

  "Hmm..." The shopkeeper's face was filled with smiles as he said to Su Lingfeng, "This is our treasured family heirloom, it has been here since the establishment of our store, and at least several hundred years of history...it's not cheap..."

  "Cut the nonsense." Su Leng Feng impatiently interrupted his partner's words, frowning and saying: "I'm asking you about the price!"

  "This... this..." The fellow raised one finger and said with a smile: "One hundred gold coins."

  "One hundred gold coins? Selling a dead egg? You're robbing us?!" Liu Er, who was standing behind Su Lingfeng, exclaimed.

  She didn't want to help Su Linfeng save money, but was stimulated by the price and reflexively shouted.

  "It's only worth this price if it's dead, but if it were a live dragon egg, it would be priceless." The shopkeeper said with a smirk.

  Su Lingfeng didn't say a word, but instead stretched out a pale and delicate jade-like hand in front of Liu'er.

  "Miss, what do you want?" Liu Er asked foolishly.

  "Money." Su Leng lightly spat out a single word.

  Liu'er made a bitter face, took out her purse, and dug around for half a day, only to pull out a dozen or so silver coins. She said painfully: "Miss, I only have these left..."

  Su Lingfeng took over the silver coins from Liu Er's hand and counted them, a total of twelve, handed to that shopkeeper: "That's all, I'll buy it."

  "Susu Big Sister, what kind of joke is this!" That fellow shouted: "Such a small amount of money, how can it possibly be enough to buy a dragon egg?!"

  One gold coin is equal to one hundred silver coins, these dozen or so silver coins are far from one hundred gold coins!

  "She said enough is enough!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from the doorway.
