Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Chapter 934 What Merchant

After chatting for a while, the mysterious traveling merchants returned with their belongings.

A group of Melusens, eyes closed and noses twitching, surrounded the three of them, sniffing again and again, "It smells so good!"

"Everyone smells so nice, is this the kind of 'perfume' that people outside use?"

"Yes, this is the scent of perfume," Su said proudly. "I specially formulated it!"

"Wow, that's awesome!" Melissa asked expectantly, "What do we need to exchange for a cup?"

Funina was a little anxious. "This...this isn't for sale! How about I give you another one?"

Melusin shook her head. "Thank you, Lady Funina, but it's alright. I can smell it, that's enough."

"It's not 'Lady Funina,' it's 'Assistant Fufu' now!" Mirusin corrected in a low voice.

"Oh, oh!" Melissa quickly corrected herself, "Then, Miss Fufu? What's the name of this perfume?"

Paimon turned his head. "Oh right! We don't think we've come up with a good name for our perfume yet."

Su thought for a moment, then decisively looked at Funina, "You're better at naming things than I am, so I'll leave it to you!"

After thinking for a moment, Fulina blushed and said, "This perfume is called... Salut d'Amour."

"A hymn to love?" Paimon thought it was wonderful. "It's like a poem and a piece of music at the same time."

This name is poetic and melodious! It really goes well with perfume.

Fu Ningna's naming skills are indeed far superior to Su's!

Seemingly sensing Paimon's inner grumbling, Su coughed twice and said, "Time to get down to business, let's sell some goods!"

Kosa brought over a large bag of dried fish that she had dried herself. "Merchant, merchant, I'd like to get some new flowerpots."

Merchant S picked up the salted fish with two fingers and looked at it. "The quality is so-so. As for the flowerpot... I'll probably trade it for two."

"Thank you!" Kosa happily exchanged a large bag of dried deep-sea fish for two simple terracotta flowerpots from Su... no! from Merchant S.

Assistant Fufu hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

Deep-sea fish are difficult to catch, so they are very expensive!

Moreover, so many dried fish require catching the fish, processing them, drying them, and then storing them properly.

This huge bag of dried fish, which took a lot of effort and time to accumulate, was ultimately exchanged for two terracotta flowerpots.

Businessman S's business is a bit unscrupulous.

The next guest was Iya Lei, who loves fishing.

"Do you want to buy fish food or fishing rods this time?" Merchant S asked familiarly.

Iya Lei was holding a large wooden bucket. "I want to buy some octopus snacks."

Merchant S, accountant Pai Pai, and assistant Fu Fu all looked at the large wooden barrel.

There was an orange, ball-shaped octopus floating in the seawater inside a large wooden tub.

Iya Lei said she had recently found the spherical octopus.

After the octopus's injury healed, it not only stayed, but also helped Iya Lei hook fish onto her hook when she went fishing.

Merchant S: ...

Accountant Paipai: ...

Assistant Fufu: ...

Compared to fishing, Iya Lei's maxed-out talent is clearly in animal husbandry!

Su really wanted to ask Iya Lei if she wasn't considering changing tracks, but then she remembered that fishing was Iya Lei's hobby.

Never mind, even if Iya Lei can't catch fish, she's still very good at catching them.

Accountant Pai Pai scratched her head, "Octopus snacks... does anyone know what snacks octopuses like to eat?"

Fortunately, Merchant S is omnipotent; he took out various ingredients from his backpack and let her choose.

After the octopus ball selected its ingredients, Merchant S ground them into powder, added water, mixed them, and kneaded them into balls of varying sizes.

Finally, the meatballs were dried, resulting in a large bag of pet snacks.

Iya Lei took out her exchange item, an orange conch bead.

Iya Lei: "I found this in the sea too. How many octopus snacks can I exchange for it?"

"Hmm..." Su turned the conch bead, its surface shimmering with bright, ever-changing flame patterns. "Ten!"

Funina was dumbfounded! "This is a rare conch pearl!"

One usable conch pearl can be obtained from approximately 50,000 conches, so its rarity goes without saying.

This one is an even more flawless, top-quality gem; it could fetch at least several million Mora if sold to a jewelry store.

As a result, all I got from Merchant S was ten pet treats?

What kind of businessman is this?

That's incredibly heartless!

Even the octopus in the barrel felt that the merchant was too ruthless, so it leaped up and angrily sprayed black ink!

Su reacted quickly, using a cushion to block the attack and casually tossing the broken pillow aside.

Merchant S snatched the pet treats back from Iya Lei's hand, saying, "Now you can't exchange even one for a piece; your beads have become compensation!"

Iya Lei lowered her head guiltily, "I'm sorry..."

For centuries, Funina had been the goddess of justice, but her conscience was aching terribly!

She was about to offer some words of advice when she suddenly remembered something.

Su's initial self-introduction was something like, "The Unscrupulous Itinerant Merchant S"...

Oh--

She understood!

Su is not playing an ordinary businessman, but a ruthless one!

For Meilushin and others, transactions are a part of social interaction and practice, and it's also important not to fall for the tricks of unscrupulous merchants!

“Wait!” Melosin, with golden-brown eyes, stepped forward. “I think this deal is unreasonable. Conch pearls are very expensive jewels.”

The three unscrupulous businessmen all looked at Melusin, who had raised objections, with encouraging eyes.

Hilúa, a gem craftswoman who has traded with humans many times, is very knowledgeable about the price of conch beads.

"I'm sorry for breaking your pillow, but this conch bead is worth at least three million Mora. There should be some left over after the compensation."

The unscrupulous merchant, S, nodded repeatedly. "Yes, you're right! So, how much do you think will be left, at least,, Silua?"

"At least we'll have..." Sylvie said confidently after thinking for a moment, "At least three octopus balls!"

The three unscrupulous businessmen collapsed instantly.

Su simply took off his mask, revealing a face full of speechlessness.

"Why only ask for three? Hilaire, you should say, 'You heartless bastard! This one conch pearl is enough to buy Ball-Ball Octopus snacks for thirty years!' That would be more like it."

Upon hearing this, Yi Yalei was both surprised and delighted, "Wow—we can exchange for so much? That's amazing!"

Su turned her head and continued, "Ya Lei, you should be angry. 'So you could get this many? You only planned to give me ten before. You're ripping me off! I'm calling the police!' That's more like it!"

It's impossible to carry it, absolutely impossible!

Lanaro is kind and innocent, but he basically only plays with children who have pure hearts.

Lanaro also possesses a unique dream escape technique, so he is unlikely to encounter any danger.

But most of the people in Melusin, with the exception of a few otaku, are curious about human society.

This is Fontainebleau, a place teeming with extraordinary people, so the chances of being deceived and having your heart misplaced are greatly increased!

What will happen to the Melusians when they leave Fontaine, as they are friends of the Melusians?

Funina discovered that Sue was actually an impatient person.

Once a decision is made, it must be done immediately; once a plan is made, the results must be seen right away.

Although she would slow down for the sake of her family and friends, keeping things bottled up inside only made her secretly anxious.

Fu Ningna wanted to reassure Su not to rush, saying that she was retired and had plenty of time to come to Haimo Village to spread knowledge about fraud prevention.

Before Funina could finish speaking, a furry hand patted Su's shoulder, "Don't worry too much."

"It's Senior Ofini!" Paimon learned this title from Abel. "You've gone back to the village? Are you on vacation today?"

“Yes, I’m on vacation, so I came back to visit.” The mature office worker Ofini answered Paimon, then looked at Sue, “Unfortunately, Abel is still on duty.”

“Okay,” Su pulled two small boxes out of her backpack. “Then please take these to Aibeier for me. The pink box is for you.”

Ou Fini carefully accepted Su's small gift. "Everyone has gradually matured from being ignorant and naive. Even if we are deceived, it won't hurt us badly."

Su's expression softened a bit when she recalled how Ofini had voluntarily transferred to another position to protect Abel, who was being ostracized. "Yes, the older sisters will protect the younger ones."

Ofini smiled. "It's not just that. It's also because everyone is becoming clearer about what true friendship should be like, and they're becoming harder to fool now."

The tactic of trying to get something out of Melusin by pretending to be friends is no longer going to work.

Even Abel, who was once kidnapped by criminals, has now learned to refuse unreasonable requests from strangers.

Funina also reassured Su not to worry too much, "Don't worry, I will come here often in the future to help everyone understand the unspoken rules of society."
