Crossing the Ark, I was picked up by Penguin Logistics at the beginning

"By the way, Croissant, where are we going to get the goods?"

Mo Yu asked.

"Let's go to the grocery store. It's cheaper there." Croissant said without even turning his head. "I don't have the money to go to a specialty store to buy stuff."

“Don’t think that the grocery market is not as good as the specialty stores... There are many good things in the grocery market that you can’t find in the specialty stores.” Croissant explained while slowing down the car.

"The biggest grocery market in Longmen is just ahead. Let's pick up the goods here this time." Croissant parked the motorcycle, jumped off, took the empty box on the back seat, and stuffed it into Mo Yu's hand. "Let's go pick up the goods."

Mo Yu naturally had no objection, so he followed Croissant and started to walk around.

If Croissant hadn't stuffed the box into his hands, it would have been a relaxing shopping trip. So Croissant was obviously a fat man, why didn't he carry the box himself!

But Mo Yu just complained in his heart and said he would definitely not say it out loud.

The two walked into the grocery market one after the other. There was no neatly arranged goods like in a specialty store, but mostly stalls set up by scattered vendors.

A piece of plastic cloth with a pile of miscellaneous goods piled on it, and a boss standing next to it with a smile on his face but a shrewd look in his eyes. This is a stall.

As soon as he entered the market, Mo Yu felt more than a dozen gazes directed towards him.

"Hey, hey, fat sheep, hey."

There was a smile in the eyes cast towards Mo Yu, but Mo Yu only felt that their eyes were all looking at his waist.

In just a moment, he felt like a lamb being stared at by a ferocious beast, and subconsciously tightened his wallet around his waist.

Although there are not many Longmen coins in my bag.

He looked up at Croissant who was walking in front of him. The latter seemed to have expected this situation and reached out to hold Mo Yu's hand.

"Follow me closely, or I won't be responsible if your poor wallet is drained."

There was a smile in Croissant's voice, and Mo Yu subconsciously held her hand.

Compared to Mo Yu, who always stays at home, Kesong seems to be very familiar with such occasions.

She pulled Mo Yu and walked quickly between the stalls of all sizes, but her eyes never lingered on the goods on the stalls. Despite this, she always managed to avoid the goods piled on the ground.

On the contrary, there were several times when Mo Yu couldn't keep up with Croissant because he was holding her hand and almost stepped on the goods on the ground, which made the vendors look at him with unpleasant eyes.

"Eh!"

Croissant suddenly stopped, and Mo Yu didn't react in time and almost bumped into him.

The reaction speed he had trained for more than two months allowed him to stop at the limit, and he avoided close contact with the croissant in a somewhat funny posture.

Fortunately, there were no vendors setting up stalls nearby, so he didn't touch any goods around him and just stood there in embarrassment.

"what happened?"

"We're here." Croissant glanced at Mo Yu who was braking suddenly behind him, and helped him up to prevent him from falling. Then he let go of his hand and walked towards the stall in front of him.

"Hi, long time no see."

The stall owner was a Pero. His shrewd eyes were originally fixed on Mo Yu who was standing behind holding the box, but when he saw Croissant walking in front and confirmed that there seemed to be a relationship between the two, he silently withdrew his gaze.

"Long time no see, sir..." The stall owner obviously knew Croissant and responded with a smile on his face.

"Aha, I found a friend to carry the luggage." Croissant took over the conversation and made up an excuse to avoid it. "Let me see what good things we have this time."

After saying that, she squatted in front of the stall and glanced over the goods displayed on the stall.

Mo Yu subconsciously put down the box in his hand and followed Croissant to look at the small gadgets placed on the ground.

There were many things on the stall, mostly ordinary daily necessities, and occasionally some exquisite Originium products. Mo Yu's eyes were attracted by a cylindrical Originium machine in the corner of the stall, and he couldn't help but pick it up to check it out.

Seeing that Mo Yu seemed to be interested in the goods, the stall owner Pero looked at Croissant who was picking goods nearby, then looked at Mo Yu who was looking at the goods carefully, and was about to walk over.

"Hey, are you interested in this?" He smiled and said, "This is a high-tech gadget from Agor. The original price is 8 Lungmen coins. You came here with Croissant, and it suits my taste. If you want it, I'll give it to you for 3 Lungmen coins."

When he finished speaking, the stall owner lowered his voice as much as possible so as not to be heard by Croissant.

"3w..." Mo Yu silently wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Are all Originium items so expensive?

"Okay, let's see how much these are." Just as Mo Yu was hesitating whether to put the little thing he was interested in back on the stall or grit his teeth and buy it, Croissant stood up and spoke.

The originally empty box had been packed with several kinds of groceries, all small daily necessities, which took up about one-third of the space in the box.

Hearing Croissant's voice, the boss reluctantly stepped away from Mo Yu and came to Croissant.

"Well... this is one hundred and fifty... that is two hundred and twenty... if we pack it all together, let's say... three thousand."

The stall owner Pero wiped his chin with his hand and spoke.

"Six hundred."

Croissant spoke without mercy, and as soon as he opened his mouth he swung his sword, directly snapping away two thousand four hundred Longmen coins.

The stall owner frowned: "Isn't this a bit..."

"Seven hundred."

Mo Yu looked at the two people who were bargaining directly and shut his mouth silently.

As a bargaining loser who only knows how to follow the aunt in the front row and say "Give me one portion too" when buying groceries, he knows his own worth clearly.

"........."

After a brief silence, the owner of the Pero stall looked gloomy: "I really can't sell it..."

"One thousand, plus the thing in his hand." Croissant pointed at the Originium machine in Mo Yu's hand and made a gesture that if he didn't sell it, he would leave. "Otherwise, I'll find another one."

A hint of hesitation and reluctance flashed across the stall owner's face. Although the source stone products in Mo Yu's hands were not worth much at all, they were enough to deceive outsiders who didn't know much about the business.

But the person in front of me is clearly an expert, and she knows the rules of this grocery market very well.

"Please agree to the croissant. One thousand yuan for the deal." Mo Yu suddenly spoke, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the stall owner. The stall owner was stunned for a moment, and a little confusion flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, deal."

What happened next became a natural progression.

Even after paying the bill and leaving the stall, Croissant was still staring at Mo Yu who was following him with an incredible look.
