Chapter 52: Glass Bottle City News

Although there are mini-Dragnets everywhere in the Cauldron Lake in the game, in the Padia region here, Dragonite, as a super rare Pokémon, is really too eye-catching.

Luo Mu, who had once been chased and blocked by passers-by and asked to take photos with Dragonite, chose to avoid this trouble at the root.

Although mosquito coil tadpoles are not common in the Padia area, they are very rampant in the Kanto area. Although they can be seen, the return rate is not high.

Anyway, there was still some time before the agreed noon time, so Luo Mu started wandering around the Glass Bottle Market with Mosquito Repellent Tadpole.

It's not easy to come to other cities, so you can see if there is anything suitable to buy and bring back.

The entire city of Glass Bottle City is divided into three levels, with huge elevators traveling from low to high. In addition, the city has a good environment, which attracts many tourists.

Therefore, this elevator is often crowded and you need to queue up to ride it.

Luo Mu himself landed Dragonite in the wild near the second floor, so there was no need to squeeze into the elevator.

When passing by, Luo Mu took a curious look inside the elevator. There was still a long queue, and it was suffocating to look at it.

However, there was one person who stood out among the crowd of tourists.

Judging from the back, the other person seemed to be wearing a white chef's uniform. He was probably a chef in a restaurant in Boping City, where the food industry is also very developed.

But the most striking feature of that person should be his golden hair. Such pure golden hair is quite rare in the Padia region. Is he a person who came from other regions to settle down?
A flash of inspiration came to Luo Mu's mind, but he still missed it by a little bit.

Without giving it much thought, Luo Mu forgot about the matter and planned to take Mosquito Repellent Tadpole to visit the famous antique market nearby!

With the system, maybe he can become a master of picking up bargains and become rich overnight?

"Sir, you have a good eye. This is a chamber pot used by the royal family of the Padya Empire 2000 years ago. It is of great collection value!"

"I see that you are a connoisseur of goods, so I will spend a lot of money to make friends with you. How about this price?"

The middle-aged vendor with a mustache was beaming with joy as he made the sign "3" with his hand, his face full of the look that said you would make a profit as long as you bought this thing.

Luo Mu, who had been shopping here for a while, knew very well how much the "3" on the vendor's sign meant.

30000 Alliance Coins.

Why don't you go grab it? !

Moreover, when he thought that this thing might be a chamber pot, Luo Mu's hands began to tremble as he held this "antique".

Luo Mu asked in his mind: "Is this thing real or fake?"

[Ding! Fake]

"As expected." Luo Mu breathed a sigh of relief with an imperceptible movement. Fortunately, it was not a really used chamber pot, otherwise he would definitely want to die and let the mosquito-repellent tadpole beside him use a water gun to wash off a layer of skin on his hand.

The vendor had been paying attention to Luo Mu's expression and movements, and was quickly judging in his mind whether this man was worth a quick payout.

First of all, the Pokémon following this young boy should be the Poliwag, which is unique to the Kanto region, which is a little far from the Padia region.

Although there are also scattered mosquito coil tadpoles in the Padia area, the vendors are more inclined to believe that the boy is a tourist in Boping City, and such young people are the easiest to exploit.

Just when the vendor was planning to make another effort to win over this "naive" tourist, Luo Mu deftly put the "chamber pot" back on the vendor's stall, said he would take a look at other stalls, and turned and left.

The mosquito coil tadpole glanced at the confused vendor, and its intuition told it that this man was up to something bad. It made a face at him and followed Luo Mu's steps and left.

"what?"

The vendor who was left behind stood there in a daze, feeling disbelief. The customer didn't even bargain and just left.

Could it be that he wanted to make more money, so he raised the price a little bit by making the old man's chamber pot he bought for 30 Alliance coins look old?

I should have known to make less money. The next time a customer comes, I’ll just say 20000 Alliance Coins.

Luo Mu turned around and walked away, unaware that the vendor was so evil-minded. He just complained in his mind, "We have visited six stalls in total, and there is not a single real thing. Is this a fake place to rip off customers?"

He even wanted to try to find a bargain like the protagonist in the novel, but he ended up wandering around for so long in vain and ended up getting his hands dirty.

Luo Mu randomly found a secluded corner, squatted down, and asked Mosquito Repellent Tadpole to use a water gun to create a stream of water to wash his hands. He felt very uncomfortable with his hands after touching the "chamber pot".

While washing his hands, Luo Mu complained: "I'm afraid there isn't even a single authentic item sold in this antique market!"

[There is a broken teapot for sale in an antique shop 50 meters behind you]

Luo Mu: “?”

The action of washing hands paused, Luo Mu looked behind him, and saw an antique shop standing in the corner.

Such a coincidence?
He remembered that the broken teapot was the item needed for the ghost-type Pokémon Lai Beicha (genuine) to evolve into Huo Si Pot (genuine). Because of some collectors, the price of the genuine teapot was much higher than the fake one.

However, both teapots can brew fragrant and rich tea. The real teapot is just slightly better in taste than the fake one.

After wiping his hands, Luo Mu took out his mobile phone and searched the prices of the broken teapot and the cracked teapot, then blurted out "Fuck".

Broken Teapot: 7500 Alliance Coins (estimated)

Broken teapot: 150000 Alliance Coins (estimated)

The gap is 20 times. Are people nowadays crazy?
After hesitating for a moment, Luo Mu rubbed his hands for a while, picked up the mosquito coil tadpole and whispered in its ear for a while.

"Woo-woo-woo!"

The tadpole nodded thoughtfully, and told Luo Mu that everything was up to it!

Seeing that Mosquito Repellent Tadpole was so reliable, Luo Mu could hardly hold back his smile.

"Wuhu!"

It was only a dozen minutes after entering the antique shop and leaving. Luo Mu pretended not to care and let the mosquito coil tadpole leave the shop carrying the small wooden box containing the teapot.

After they were far enough away, Luo Mu covered his pounding heart and took the small wooden box from Mosquito Repellent Tadpole.

There are valuable items in here worth 150,000 Alliance Coins. They must be kept properly!
Luo Mu held the small wooden box in his arms, squatted down with an appreciative look on his face, and touched the head of the mosquito coil tadpole: "Thanks to you, we are so successful."

"Woo-woo-woo!"

The mosquito coil tadpole straightened his chest, his face full of pride.

Their action was simple. After entering the store, they asked Mosquito Coil Tadpole to say that he would definitely get the damaged teapot which the store owner believed was a broken teapot.

Everything went very smoothly. The acting of the mosquito coil tadpole was excellent. Luo Mu only spent 7600 Alliance coins to buy the broken teapot.

"Just for this gain, coming to Glass Bottle City today is already worth it." Luo Mu, with a smile on his face, stopped patting his head, glanced at the time, and murmured, "It's almost time, I should go to Mr. Haidai's Chinese restaurant to find him."
