The pills sold by Bijou Parlor were usually worth 300 or 400 energy stones. Even a wealthy customer like Figo Larson would only buy a pill worth about 300 energy stones. How could those misers spend so much money to buy an ordinary pill? Scarlet could not figure it out. “Stop bragging. As far as I know, only Bijou Parlor in Imperial City can come up with this! A newly opened store in Orbit City can’t have this!” Scarlet refused to believe Rover and reached out for the pill. She did not believe that someone would spend their life savings to buy a pill. They were not the young sirs of the Larson family. How could they have so much money? Of course, price gouging was not an uncommon practice in this world. Some people would buy pills at a low price and sell them somewhere else to earn the difference. Some people were unable to buy pills while others were able to buy them but were unable to use them due to financial circumstances. As a result, many proxy-buying indust
With that idea in mind, Scarlet ordered Rover to buy all the pills he could. “Not only the pills but keep a lookout for other things in the store too. Just try to buy anything you can find if you have enough money.” Scarlet opened the cash register and gave Rover a large pile of energy stones. Rover was very excited with the money in his hands. Shopping was his favorite activity. Although it was very crowded and everyone was in a buying frenzy, Rover enjoyed the atmosphere very much. “Don’t worry, I’ll get it done for you.” Rover vanished from the spot. Other than pills, he knew there were weapons for sale too. The number of pills was very limited, so he could forget about getting any good ones if he went there now, but weapons were different. Since Noelle did not introduce the weapons just now, no one held any expectations for them. Although Rover did not think much about them either, they were the new products in the store too. Since there were only two types
Only Philip had the ability to earn everyone’s money so easily. Until the end, many people put together any remaining energy stones they had to make a purchase. They really made the effort to buy something. As soon as someone bought something, someone else would buy it for a higher price. Some people knew that they could not keep a treasure for long and chose to get rid of it. Noelle saw it but did not care. Since the customer had bought it, what they did with it was none of their business. Seeing the empty display counters, Noelle felt very satisfied. “Our products have been sold out. You can return in two days.” Everyone left under Noelle’s urging. Rover returned to Bijou Parlor as fast as lightning. After seeing Scarlet, he wiped the table and carefully placed the weapons on top of it. Amid her anticipation, Scarlet scowled at the sight of Rover’s actions. Scarlet was not happy that Rover held the things sold by Treasure House in such high regard. She felt un
When customers received the catalog and compared it with the treasures in Treasure House, they would realize that this auction was nothing. After getting what he wanted, Philip turned around to leave but was stopped. The attendants introduced their products to Philip with extra good attitudes. Philip was annoyed at the people surrounding him and pushed them away. “Hey, stop bothering me. I want to check out other stores,” Philip said and turned to leave. He learned a lot through this store visit. No one discovered Philip's identity or noticed anything strange about him. They only knew that their only customer was about to leave. At this moment, Scarlet walked down with the bow, which looked so imposing. It did not seem like just anyone could own it. Scarlet had been studying it for a while but found nothing. She thought it was a useless trinket. She took it out of the office and was about to force Rover to find fault with Treasure House. Everyone looked at the bow
For this man to launch the bow so easily proved his extraordinary strength. Scarlet knew that this man was anything but ordinary. However, Scarlet felt a sense of familiarity with him. She might have seen this man somewhere before, but nothing rang a bell. Scarlet cast her charm technique again. Although this man’s attire and mannerisms screamed of wealthiness, he seemed very unfamiliar, unlike a native of Orbit City. If Scarlet could convert this man to become her long-term patron, her sales performance would soar again. It would not be long before she could become the person in charge of a branch in a big and prosperous city. It was better to be with this rich and handsome man than the wretched Figo. Scarlet kept casting her charm on Philip. Philip sensed her attempts but was immune to them. However, to prevent letting the cat out of the bag, he pretended to fall for her charm and let his gaze fall slack. Scarlet smiled brightly at Philip’s reaction. “Why don’
Philip was totally unaffected by Scarlet. Although her charm technique was quite good, he was better at scamming. Philip quietly took out a pill from his ring. He crushed it and let the powder dissipate in the air. Scarlet passed out. Philip ripped off her clothes, threw the rags aside, and walked out. He was not interested in a woman like Scarlet. She was not even as pretty as Noelle. Philip quickly returned to the store. Noelle had closed the store for the day. They were aware of hunger marketing. Besides, Philip’s purpose was to annoy Bijou Parlor. Before Noelle closed the store, she promised everyone that there would be more goodies tomorrow, so they could look forward to it. Everyone was curious to find out what the goodies would be, but Noelle simply shut the door without further comment, and no one could do anything about it. Noelle was simply acting upon Philip’s order. Philip knew that Bijou Parlor would be holding the auction tomorrow, so he wanted to
Although risky, he decided to take a look. Mr. Lindell brought along the most elite men with him to ensure his safety.Except for some big shots in Imperial City, almost no one else knew Mr. Lindell. He always lived in seclusion and never appeared in public. Even visitors would only see him from behind a curtain. Not to mention those people lining up for a pill, they had no chance to see him at all. They only had to hand over the materials and state their requirements before leaving. Due to his reputation as a level-seven alchemist, they were not worried about losing their materials. “If we set off now, when can we arrive at Orbit City?” Mr. Lindell asked through the curtain. His subordinates made an estimation. “We'll arrive at Orbit City around tomorrow afternoon,” a man in a black robe replied respectfully. Mr. Lindell was clearly unhappy with that reply. He said impatiently, “I want to reach there before noon.” A bottle of pills flew out of the carriage. The
Whether the customers were here for Noelle's beauty or treasures, everyone waited quietly at the door. Noelle knew what they were thinking, so she took her time in displaying the new items in front of everyone. Everyone’s minds raced at the sight of the pills and spiritual weapons. After testing out the things they bought yesterday, they were amazed by the powerful effects. Both the pills and weapons were top-notch. At least, they had never seen anything of such good quality on this continent! This time, there were not only weapons but also gear worn on the body. Orbit City was a place with many hunters who would enter the forest from time to time to complete tasks. With a lot of beasts in the forest, no one dared to venture there without some powerful weapons or pills. Most of the customers were hunters. Although they earned a lot, they spent a lot of money too. After buying something from Philip’s store yesterday, someone entered the forest and easily hunted a bea
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
“The truth is that I have a favor to ask of you, but I’m afraid of overstepping the line, so…” The old monk knew that his action was inappropriate, so he was conflicted and wondered how he should ask for Philip’s help. Philip was interested upon hearing that the old monk needed a favor. He wanted to know what stumped him. With his strength and status, the old monk should be omnipotent. “Feel free to speak your mind. If I can handle it, I don’t mind lending a helping hand.” Philip would not help for no reason. If the other party was willing to pay the price, he would not refuse. The old monk was excited to hear Philip’s agreement. “I have the location of a secret realm. I tried to enter it once, but the secret realm told me that I couldn’t enter it,” the old monk said with regret. “There should be a lot of good things in this secret realm, so I’m very disappointed that I can't enter and explore it. I was told that only people from other worlds could enter this secret realm.
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
