Chapter 1101 - 1106: The Strange Antique Shop
Zhan Zhengguo, after seeing Zheng Zezhong’s dismissive gesture, could only sheepishly push away...On the other side, Lin Feng was leisurely strolling with Su Zi along a commercial street in the Imperial City.
Su Zi was in high spirits today, eager to explore every place and enjoy everything. Lin Feng allowed her to do as she pleased, letting her buy whatever she wanted and eat whatever she fancied, encouraging her to have fun and spend money freely...
Women are peculiar creatures. They derive a strong sense of accomplishment from spending money, especially during sales when they can buy heaps of useless things and then tell you how much money they saved... Then, they treat this nonexistent savings as income, proudly chatting about it, never minding how much they actually spent...
Su Zi might not be so naive, but Lin Feng, wanting Su Zi to forget the recent gloom, intentionally encouraged her to splurge, handing her a nearly million-yuan bank card to swipe at her leisure while he followed her, carrying a pile of high-end shopping bags...
As they passed by an antique shop, Su Zi suddenly looked up and cheerfully said to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, let’s go in here and have a look around!"
Lin Feng glanced at the antique shop named Jingwanxuan and oddly noticed that amidst the bustling street, the antique shop had hardly any customers, its eerie tranquility causing a shiver down his spine!
At that moment, Lin Feng heard a sweet voice coming from the antique shop, "Oh, someone actually came in at this time?"
Following the voice, Lin Feng saw an old-style, quaint counter, behind which stood a stunning girl in a white Hanfu, holding a tablet and seemingly playing a game...
"Unexpectedly a cosplay-loving beauty shopkeeper!" Lin Feng was momentarily taken aback, curious why passersby didn’t stop to check out the shop—even just to chat with the beautiful shopkeeper would be worthwhile!
Lin Feng looked around at the pedestrians, realizing that the passersby seemed completely unaware of the antique shop, not even sparing it a glance—they all ignored the store!
"What a strange feeling!" Lin Feng felt even more peculiar... If no one else could see the shop, why could he and Su Zi see it?
While he was lost in thought, Su Zi had already stepped into the shop...
"Hey... Su Zi, wait..." Lin Feng couldn’t stop her in time, so he quickly rushed to Su Zi’s side and walked into the shop with her.
Luckily, they successfully entered the shop and didn’t feel anything amiss...
The next second, Lin Feng began to examine the treasures on the shelves of the antique shop... Hmm, they all seemed quite ordinary, just some jars, bottles, and old books—nothing special...
Just as Lin Feng was relaxing, he suddenly froze because he saw a very familiar book...
"Five Elements Escape Technique?! Is this for real?" Lin Feng pointed at a blue-bound book, astonished, and turned to look at the shopkeeper beauty focused on her tablet...
"The price is on the back. Look if you want to buy it; if you can’t afford it, don’t make a fuss! I’m just helping my grandpa watch the store, not responsible for doing business. Buy it or not, don’t think you can make a commotion just because you got lucky and walked in. I’m too lazy to care!" the beauty shopkeeper huffed lazily at Lin Feng without lifting her head...
"Hey, how can you be like that? Are you here to do business or not..." Su Zi said, a bit indignant at the rudeness of the shopkeeper.
"Su Zi, hold on..." Lin Feng, somewhat excited, stopped Su Zi’s anger quietly and then looked at the price tag on the Five Elements Escape Technique...
He saw a string of very long numbers...
88888888...
After counting carefully, Lin Feng almost spat out blood when he realized the book was priced at over a hundred million yuan. Damn, that quirky old man sure knew how to rip people off—his gouging skills had improved over time!
Yes, Lin Feng confirmed that this bizarre shop was likely the black shop run by the white-bearded old man he had encountered twice in the Imperial City. This beauty shopkeeper was probably the granddaughter the old man mentioned, who loved shopping on Taobao!
Lin Feng glanced over, and sure enough, saw the beauty shopkeeper browsing a colorful Taobao webpage, confirming his suspicion...
"What, Lin Feng, this book is priced at over eighty-eight million? Am I seeing things?!" Su Zi pointed incredulously at the book in Lin Feng’s hand, clearly unable to believe any book could be that costly...
"Hmph, you haven’t seen much!" The beauty shopkeeper finally couldn’t resist looking up and said to Su Zi, "This book has already been sold once. To protect the first buyer’s secret, we’re deliberately raising the price! Haven’t you heard of copyright protection..."
Su Zi hesitated, honestly shaking her head, clearly unfamiliar with this kind of copyright protection...
But Lin Feng, deep in thought, put down the Five Elements Escape Technique and picked up another book titled "Innate Vitality Convergence Finger," checking its price. Sure enough, the price was much more reasonable, only 6.5 million!
At that time, when Lin Feng bought those two innate secret books from the white-bearded old man, he paid three million for the Five Elements Escape Technique and a whole ten million for the Mystery Deduction Technique!
The 6.5 million price tag indicated that this Innate Vitality Convergence Finger was pretty useful, suggesting more value than the Five Elements Escape Technique!
Lin Feng became instantly interested!
Seeing the price of the second book, Su Zi’s expression changed again, but noticing Lin Feng’s serious look, she restrained her odd feelings, waiting patiently for Lin Feng to speak.
Su Zi also sensed the shop’s peculiarity, noticing all the passersby outside ignoring the place, stirring an uneasy feeling in her. Luckily, Lin Feng stood right beside her, otherwise, she might have screamed and run out!
"Miss, can I buy this book?" Lin Feng suddenly approached the counter, placing the book in front of the beauty shopkeeper and asked calmly...
"What? Lin Feng, are you really going to spend so much on an old book?!" Su Zi was stunned, almost reaching out to check Lin Feng’s temperature, worrying if he was ill...
The beauty shopkeeper reluctantly raised her head, giving Su Zi a dissatisfied glance before pouting and said to Lin Feng, "Price is 6.5 million, no discounts, no invoices. Will that be cash or card?!"
