Conquer the game world

Chapter 41 Looking at the Master

Ye Feng led Wang Er into the Flying Dragon Chamber of Commerce. This time, Ye Feng was not stopped by the guards at the entrance. Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh, "Clothes really do make the man."

The Flying Dragon Merchant Guild in Star Moon City is much larger than that in Star Night City. This one floor alone is much more spacious than the Flying Dragon Merchant Guild in Star Night City, and there seems to be a faint golden light shimmering on the walls.

"Wow, this is gold plating! How extravagant!" Ye Feng exclaimed, looking at the glittering walls.

"This is just topaz that has been melted and plated onto the wall. Topaz is a very common crystal. What, young man, don't you know?" Wang Er explained from the side. Ye Feng didn't even know what topaz was. He was obviously a country bumpkin who didn't know where he came from. Wang Er didn't expect that this country bumpkin was so unapproachable. Was he a disciple of some reclusive master? Wang Er thought to himself.

Ye Feng had no idea what Wang Er was thinking; he was curiously looking at all the strange things inside the Chamber of Commerce.

Many of the items displayed in the Flying Dragon Merchant Guild were things Ye Feng had never seen in the game, and he was now curiously asking Wang Er about these unfamiliar things.

"Wang Er, what is that wooden bird? How can it move?"

"Oh, that's a mechanical beast, a puppet beast that can act according to its master's will. Of course, this is the most basic one. It is said that advanced puppet beasts have considerable combat power, but I have never seen one like that."

So this world also has puppet beasts, and they have the same characteristics as my necromancy summons. It seems there are still many things I don't know, Ye Feng thought to himself.

"Wang Er, why are so many people gathered around those rocks over there? What's so interesting about a bunch of rocks?"

“Oh, those aren’t ordinary stones. We call those stones mother stones. They might contain things like black iron, which is a valuable resource. If used to forge weapons, the weapon’s power would be more than doubled,” Wang Er explained. “Of course, there might be nothing inside. These merchant guilds are heartless; they’re afraid to break them open for fear of losing money and then selling them at high prices.”

"Then why are so many people gathered there? Are they all idiots?"

"There's nothing we can do. There are always people who take a chance, hoping to find some mysterious iron and become rich overnight. But most of the time they just lose money." Wang Er patiently answered Ye Feng's question, while becoming even more certain that Ye Feng was a disciple of some reclusive master. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such strong abilities and still not know these basic facts.

Ye Feng had no idea that he had unknowingly become the subject of people's perception of having a master. Looking at those who were studying the mother stone, Ye Feng thought that this was probably like buying a lottery ticket in modern times. Everyone wanted to win five million, but such good fortune was not something that everyone could encounter.

Ye Feng has always looked down on buying lottery tickets. Even during his previous life, Ye Feng never bought any so-called lottery tickets. His roommates, on the other hand, often bought them, but they never won even five yuan, let alone the so-called five million. Therefore, buying lottery tickets is not a wise choice.

"Ah, another failure, sigh." A sigh came from the crowd.

Ye Feng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man with empty eyes, clearly disappointed. Judging from the stones under his feet, it seemed that he had opened quite a few stones, but without exception, he had obtained nothing.

"Don't be discouraged, sir. How about another one?" the shopkeeper from the nearby chamber of commerce said with a smile, encouraging the young man to quickly open another one.

There's nothing we can do about it. Even though there are many people watching these mother stones, very few people actually buy them. Everyone knows these things are a rip-off, so naturally not many people buy them. Today, it's rare for someone to buy several stones in a row, so the shopkeeper naturally wants to keep this person and try to encourage them to buy more.

"Damn it, I bought so many and got nothing! You guys aren't just trying to rip me off with some random rock, are you? Give me my money back!" Suddenly, the young man went berserk, perhaps unable to accept the reality before him. He charged forward, ready to smash the counter in front of him.

"Come on, throw this guy out." The shopkeeper in front of him was also calm, obviously he had seen many troublemakers like this and was no longer surprised.

Before the young man could even touch the counter, several thugs dressed in Flying Dragon Merchant Guild uniforms suddenly appeared and kicked him several times.

The young man seemed to have some fighting ability. At first, he was able to put up a little resistance, but he was soon overwhelmed by the group and knocked to the ground.

Watching the young man being beaten down and then dragged out of the Flying Dragon Merchant Guild, Ye Feng shook his head. As the saying goes, if you don't court death, you won't die. Gambling is definitely not a good thing.

"Wang Er, do you know where in the Chamber of Commerce you can buy Flame Crystals?" With this little incident, Ye Feng lost interest in looking at other goods and prepared to buy the Flame Crystals he needed most this time.

"Um, brother, this isn't something you see every day. I heard it's very valuable." Wang Er frowned. He had thought Ye Feng was a clueless guy, but he hadn't expected him to talk about something so valuable right off the bat. Was this guy from some wealthy family? Wang Er started to let his imagination run wild again.

"Hey, isn't this Wang Er? This isn't a place you can just show up in. You haven't paid your protection money from last month yet, have you?" A man's voice suddenly interrupted Wang Er's conversation with Ye Feng. Ye Feng glanced around and recognized the newcomer.

The newcomer was dressed quite luxuriously, and his eyes and actions revealed an arrogant feeling, indicating that he was someone with some influence.

"Young Master Xu, could you please grant me a few more days? I'll personally deliver it to you in a few days." Seeing that the visitor showed no sign of anger, Wang Er said respectfully. He was joking; how could a nobody like Wang Er dare offend the Xu family? "Damn it, you dragged me along with that little bit of money, and you still came to a place like this? Do you think I'm stupid?" Hearing Young Master Xu's roar, Wang Er felt uneasy. Sure enough, Young Master Xu swung his fist and punched Wang Er.

Seeing Xu Shao's fist, Wang Er had no intention of resisting at all. He could only close his eyes and wait to be beaten. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, the fist still did not fall. Only then did Wang Er open his eyes in fear and saw that Ye Feng was standing in front of Wang Er, blocking the two of them. Ye Feng was holding Xu Shao's arm that was swinging his fist.

"Young Master Xu, right? Let me tell you something. I'm afraid even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner," Ye Feng said calmly to the person in front of him, while secretly tightening his grip on Young Master Xu's hand.

Although Wang Er was just a guide that Ye Feng temporarily found, he was still considered Ye Feng's follower. Ye Feng would not allow Ye Feng to beat up his follower right under his nose.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! Damn it, defend me, or I'll kill you!" Xu Shao was held down by Ye Feng and couldn't move, so he could only shout and kick Ye Feng.

"Here we go again." Ye Feng didn't hesitate and kicked at Xu Shao. Xu Shao was supposed to raise his leg first, but Ye Feng's leg struck first and hit Xu Shao's thigh hard.

"Ah!" Xu Shao screamed in pain again. But this scream was much more intense than the previous ones, indicating that Ye Feng had used much more force in that kick than in his hand.

"What are you two standing there for? Get him and beat him up!" Ye Feng held onto Xu Shao's hand tightly, increasing the pressure. Xu Shao got impatient and yelled at his two subordinates.

After Xu Shao roared, his two henchmen rushed towards Ye Feng. Ye Feng didn't move when he saw them coming; he simply kicked them twice, sending them flying and crashing heavily to the ground.

"Who dares to fight in the Flying Dragon Merchant Guild?" The fight here has attracted the attention of everyone, including the Flying Dragon Merchant Guild itself.

Seeing the people from the Flying Dragon Chamber of Commerce arrive, Ye Feng didn't want to make a big fuss, after all, he was there to buy things, so he let go of Xu Shao's hand.

"Kid, you're dead meat." Young Master Xu glared fiercely at Ye Feng.

“If you two are here to buy something, I naturally welcome you. But if you want to fight, please go outside and don’t break the rules here,” said an elder from the Flying Dragon Merchant Guild.

Ye Feng also took notice of the old man, who turned out to be a spiritual martial artist. It seemed that he should be a manager with a high position in the Flying Dragon Merchant Guild.

"Kid, I, Xu Bo, will remember you." With the arrival of this manager, Young Master Xu exchanged a few polite words and left with his men. Young Master Xu knew he was no match for Ye Feng, and staying here would only bring him trouble.

"Xu Bo, right? I'll remember you too." Although offending a seemingly powerful guy right after arriving in Star Moon City wasn't a wise choice, Ye Feng wasn't afraid. Back when he played games, Ye Feng had offended all the major guilds in the game, but in the end, no one could do anything to him. Ye Feng's principle was, "I'll do whatever I want, it's none of your business."

"Are you in charge here? I'd like to buy some things, and maybe sell some things as well?" Xu Shao left, but Ye Feng had no intention of leaving. After all, things weren't settled yet, so how could he just leave?

"Oh, may I ask what you need, young hero? If it's just ordinary items, you can just find any shopkeeper on this floor." The manager explained the situation to Ye Feng in a friendly manner, making no mention of the fight that had just taken place, as if nothing had happened.

"I wonder what your purchase price is for Power Fruit?" Since the other party didn't mention it, Ye Feng naturally wouldn't bring up what had just happened.

"Oh, young hero, you have a power-enhancing fruit. In that case, please come with me, young hero, let's find a quiet place to talk." Hearing that Ye Feng had a power-enhancing fruit, the steward finally began to take it seriously.

"I didn't hear wrong, did I? This guy said he has a power-enhancing fruit."

"Damn, are you kidding me? Are you playing me? I bet this guy doesn't have it."

"You're just envious and jealous. You can't have what others have, so you're jealous of them."

"Hmph, even if this kid has it, he's probably just lucky."

Ignoring the murmurs of the crowd, Ye Feng quickly followed the old man in charge to a quiet room. As for Wang Er, whom Ye Feng had brought along, he had already run away when Ye Feng and Xu Shao started fighting.

Ye Feng didn't care about this. Anyway, Wang Er was no longer of any use to Ye Feng. Ye Feng just couldn't stand Xu Shao's arrogant attitude. As for what would happen to Wang Er in the future, Ye Feng was too lazy to care.
