Chapter 76: Cost Price and the Truth!

Upon hearing Loren's request, the smile on the young man sitting opposite him grew even broader.A textbook big fat sheep...

The young man stood up, walked to the wooden shelf in the room, and took down three exquisite accessories.

A black ring, a silver bracelet, and a red necklace inlaid with a gemstone.

Returning to his seat, he placed the three beautiful accessories on the table beside him.

Then, picking up the silver bracelet, he began introducing it to Loren with a professional air:

"Spatial bracelet, a practice piece by a master craftsman, mecha-grade craftsmanship, can withstand missile impacts, internal area of 120 square meters, price 20,000 Spirit Stones, non-negotiable."

"Wait, what about the height?" Loren interrupted the introduction.

"Customer, for spatial storage devices on the market, the default height is generally 7 meters."

Looks like this is his first time dealing with spatial storage equipment, definitely a big fat sheep...

Then, with a smile, he put down the silver bracelet, picked up the black ring, and continued addressing Loren:

"Spatial ring, Federation universal model, mecha-grade craftsmanship, emphasis on durability, internal area of 100 square meters, price fifteen thousand Spirit Stones, negotiable."

After introducing the black ring, he casually placed it on the table beside him.

Next, he carefully picked up the red necklace inlaid with a gemstone with both hands and said to Loren solemnly:

"Crimson Tear, a peerless treasure painstakingly crafted by a master artisan, consuming countless effort and heart, the treasure that secures this shop's reputation."

As he spoke, he observed Loren's reaction with his eyes. Seeing no reaction from Loren, he cleared his throat before continuing:

"A unique piece created with the master's utmost dedication, one of a kind, legendary-grade craftsmanship, can withstand direct hits from antimatter annihilation missiles."

"In the vast expanse of the Star Realm, the people or things capable of destroying it can be counted on one hand."

"Internal area of 500 square meters, price 100,000 Spirit Stones."

"Most importantly, it doesn't require direct physical contact with objects. The wearer just needs to touch the item with their hand and channel their mental energy to store it."

"It perfectly solves the inherent flaw of being a spatial necklace!"

After this grand introduction, he sat down, carefully placed the red necklace on the table, and asked Loren:

"Esteemed customer, I wonder which piece has caught your eye?"

After listening to the introductions, Loren looked at the other man calmly and asked quietly:

"Do I look like a fat sheep to you?"

Hearing Loren's words, the young man opposite showed no change in expression, not a hint of panic, and retorted:

"Customer, you jest. This shop has always been fair in pricing and honest in business."

"At the door, I could understand some of the conversation between you and that lady," Loren continued calmly.

At this, the young man's expression finally shifted.

"You can understand the language of the Eastern Star Domain?" This question was asked by the young man using the distinctive language of the Eastern Star Domain.

Loren was silent for a second, then nodded and said:

"Yes."

Loren couldn't understand the language of the Eastern Star Domain, but the Raven inside him could.

Yesterday, while the Raven was studying psychological knowledge and came across the video "Detailed Explanation of Eastern Star Domain Medical Arts,"

Because the video translation had inaccuracies, there were some medical concepts it couldn't fully grasp.

"This won't do! I need this to treat my master! I must understand it!!!"

So, relying on its photographic memory, it spent half a day learning the language of the Eastern Star Domain.

Although the Raven still doesn't understand the more profound aspects of the Eastern Star Domain language, only grasping some terminology related to medical arts,

It can understand everyday conversation.

And coincidentally, the exchange between the female staff member at the door and the young man fell into the category of everyday conversation...

"Hey! You should have said you could understand earlier, you made me put on an act for nothing all this time," the young man said, waving his hand dismissively.

Then, speaking to Loren casually again, he said:

"Final price, bracelet fifteen thousand Spirit Stones, ring ten thousand Spirit Stones, as for that necklace, you can take it for twenty thousand Spirit Stones."

Hearing this, Loren silently pulled out the Federation Coin from his pocket, fiddling with it casually, pretending it was a habit when he was thinking.

The coin flipped up, then fell back down.

Tails! Lie!

The corner of Loren's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he spoke again:

"I think it could be a bit cheaper, don't you agree, sir?"

"That's cheap enough, customer, it's an extremely fair price on the market," the young man replied politely to Loren.

Loren fell silent again, looking up to meet the other man's eyes.

The young man, without any fear, met Loren's gaze head-on, showing no sign of a guilty conscience.

Then, Loren smiled slightly.

"In that case, I'll take my leave."

Loren stood up and addressed the young man.

Then, dragging the heavy suitcase, he prepared to leave.

"Wait!! That ring, 8,000 Spirit Stones," the young man also stood up, reaching out to stop Loren as he spoke.

Loren said nothing, continuing to walk towards the exit.

"5,000 Spirit Stones! It can't be any cheaper!! That's already a loss-making price!" The young man's expression showed some urgency.

Loren still walked outward, his steps never pausing.

"2,000 Spirit Stones!! That's the cost price!! Customer, you have to let me make *some* profit..." The young man's expression was on the verge of tears.

Loren glanced back at the young man, shook his head without speaking, a hint of amusement on his face.

"500 Spirit Stones!! This is truly my cost price!! Shipping goods from the Eastern Star Domain to the Jadeite Star Domain to sell, the transportation costs are very high!!!" The young man was almost pleading.

Loren stared at the young man's face, still not speaking.

He silently put down the suitcase in his hand, the familiar black Revolver quietly appearing in his grip.

So, the other party did detect my ability...

"Damn it! 500 Spirit Stones!! Take that necklace!!! But you have to remove the curse you placed on me!!" The man seemed to give up struggling, stating his bottom line.

We've reached this point, and you still expect me to pay?

Loren felt a strange sensation in his heart.

Perfect timing, I haven't fought a Superhuman from the cultivation system yet. I hope you can make me feel danger, preferably the life-or-death crisis kind...

"Free!!!! Just remove the curse!!" The young man's tone carried a sob.

Loren silently raised his hand, the black gun barrel aimed at the other's head.

"I'll give you that necklace for free, and I'll give you 30,000 Spirit Stones!! And I'll make a Dao Heart Oath, swearing never to reveal today's events, never to disclose any information about you, and I will absolutely not seek any form of revenge!!"

Seeing the gun aimed at his head, the young man urgently blurted out this statement.

Hearing the young man's words, Loren neither lowered his gun nor chose to fire.

Loren kept his eyes fixed intently on the other, his right hand still holding the gun aimed at the man's head.

If the other made even the slightest suspicious move, Loren would initiate combat.

Then, Loren's left hand silently tossed the Federation Coin.

The coin fell, and he used his left fingertips to feel which side was up.

Heads! Truth!

Next, Loren asked calmly, opening his mouth:

"What is a Dao Heart Oath?"
