Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Going Out To Buy Something

The players had long recorded the Exp required for each level up.
Almost all the players understood what level and how much experience was needed to level up.
Although Luo Yao was also aware of this, she was not as experienced as Qin Mengya, which was why she asked.
“So they might even be higher than level 10...” Hearing Mengya’s confirmation, Luo Yao couldn’t help but worry.
“The bet between the Wang and Xia families has already been published in Global Weekly. I really hope that whoever this mysterious player is doesn’t see it...”
...
“You’re going out again?”
“Yes, I’m going to the nearby trading market.”
“Be careful.”
It was a warm and sunny morning.
Ling Yi said goodbye to Lin Shurou and left the house alone.
Under the blue sky, there were only a few pedestrians on the sidewalk.
There were colorful flowers on both sides of the road. Under the sun’s heat, the flowers’ fragrant oil gradually evaporated, making the blooms emit a refreshing fragrance.
Ling Yi strolled on the clean path, smelling the fragrance in his nose and bathing in the warm sunlight. He was in a good mood.
The purpose of this trip was to take a look at the trading market and see if anyone was selling any detection-type skills.
Before he left, he had already researched it at God’s Path trading center.
The detection skills inside had long been sold out— the demand for a skill like this was high —and once someone placed it on the exchange, it would be immediately bought by other players.
Ling Yi didn’t know if he could find any in the civilian market, but he had a lot of free time anyway, so it would be good to try his luck.
...
The trading market in Firefly town was in a three-story ring-shaped building.
The building was on the right side of the Divine Union branch, not far from Lin Shurou’s house.
When Ling Yi reached the ground floor of the building, the entire journey had only been three minutes since he left the house.
There was a vast square in front of the building, and many people were setting up stalls. Some sold barbecue, some sold daily necessities, some sang and live-streamed, and some provided ice-cold snacks...
The square didn’t have an official name, but the locals called it the “Nightclub” since it could be very lively at night.
But even at day time, there were still people milling about, doing their business.
Ling Yi blended into the crowd like a fish in a school, luckily not attracting any attention.
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Yi stopped in front of an unremarkable stall.
He looked at the orangey-yellow crystals thrown on the gray cloth like garbage and asked curiously, “Sir, what skill are you selling?”
Although the building was the real trading market, it didn’t mean some people won’t display their items outside.
On the contrary, some elderly players with strange interests would prefer to set up stalls outdoors, and this stall was not an exception.
The owner was a bald old man. When Ling Yi came to ask, he was lying on the wicker chair with his eyes closed.
When the man heard a guest decide to visit his stall, he opened his eyes unhurriedly and glanced at him with his slightly turbid eyes.
Then, he twisted his neck and slowly sat up, “Ah? What did you say?” The man looked confused, as if he wasn’t the one who set up his own shop.
“What skill are you selling?” Ling Yi repeated.
Suddenly the man’s spirit seemed to recover, and his eyes that were staring at Ling Yi gradually became lively.
“Oh, you’re talking about this.” The bald old man looked down at the orangey-yellow crystals on the stall, shook his head, and spread his hands, “To be honest, I don’t know either.”
“I picked up these skills in a secret dungeon, so I don’t know their specific effects. If you want to buy it, it’s 300 G for a three-star and 1,000 G for a four-star.”
There were a total of six orange-yellow crystals on the stall. Four of them had three light spots twining around them, while the other two had four light spots.
Three dots of light intertwining would indicate that it was a three stars skill, and four spots would form four stars.
“This...” Ling Yi frowned slightly.
The price that the bald old man mentioned was reasonable. The market price of a four-star skill was indeed around 1,000 gold coins.
However, no one would buy it without knowing what skill it was.
— He also knew this was one of the permanent dungeons formed by God’s Path.
It would appear in the Main World anytime and anywhere, and many strange monsters and treasures were inside.
Among them, the most peculiar was the “Nameless Skill” that existed in various places of the secret plane.
They didn’t have names or descriptions. Only after players learned them would they know what skills they were and what effects they had.
Which was why most players decided to stay clear of them.
After all, no one would waste their precious Star Slots on unknown skill.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the bald old man immediately called out to him, “Hey, young man, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. I still have other skills.”
Then he took out a bag from the void and poured dozens of skill crystals onto the table.
“Take a look at these and see if there’s anything that you’re satisfied with.” He separated the crystals one by one and pointed at them.
Ling Yi lowered his head to take a glance and smiled helplessly. “Sir, how am I supposed to tell which skill is in which crystal if you do this?”
“Oh, so you don’t have any detection skills. I thought everyone had it.”
The bald old man muttered with a hint of dissatisfaction, then picked up one of the skill crystals, weighed it in his hand, and said, “The one in my hand is one of the classic detection skills, the Eye of Truth. What do you think?”
“Eye of Truth?” Ling Yi looked at the skill crystal in his hand. Four light spots were spinning counterclockwise around the 10-centimeter diamond-shaped orangey-yellow crystal. “Mm... How much is it?”
“You look like a newbie, so I’ll make it a little cheaper, 1,000 gold coins. You should also know that detection skills are extremely rare. Even if I sell it for 2,000 G, many people will still be lining up to buy it.”
The old man said and sized Ling Yi up and down. Then he shook his head with a smile. “I have a good feeling about you, young man. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken out this thing.”
“... Alright, we’ll use the trading function to trade.”
“Hehe.” The bald old man chuckled and agreed.
Although both parties could exchange goods and money simultaneously, that was not safe enough.
Only through the God’s Path transaction function could the transaction’s authenticity be guaranteed.
Very quickly, the two of them completed their transaction.
“Young man, is there anything else you’d like to buy?” The bald old man asked with a smile.
“No... Hmm... I’ll learn this skill first.”
“Alright,” The bald old man replied with a smile, then closed his eyes and lay back on the rattan chair.
Ling Yi opened his rucksack to check the [Eye of Truth] that he had just bought.
[Eye of Truth (4 Stars)]: Allows the user to view the information about monsters and items.
The effect was precisely the same as what he had researched.
He looked down.
