As the words fell, the crowd around Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao automatically parted, making them stand out conspicuously.
"Uh... are you asking me?"
Seeing that his plan to blend in and disappear had failed, Ye Feng turned around, scratched his head, and looked at the girl with a puzzled expression.
"Of course, it's you. Aren't you selling sanitary napkins and other rare supplies here?"
"Why aren't you selling anymore?"
The girl walked a few steps towards Ye Feng and asked.
"Uh... well, I've sold most of it. I'm hungry now and about to go eat. I'll sell more this afternoon or tomorrow!"
Ye Feng had already thought of his excuse.
He had decided that as soon as he left here, he would leave the Tyrannosaurus Rex base immediately. He wouldn't go eat or anything, and selling again tomorrow was even more impossible...
"Then sell me the remaining sanitary napkins. The price will be the same as Li Qi and Chen Chu's sister!"
Hearing Ye Feng's words, the girl frowned slightly and spoke to him.
"Uh, okay, these are a total of... 350 arcane yuan coins. Do you have complete survival coins? If you do, I can give you 200 arcane yuan coins!"
Ye Feng pondered for a moment and quickly replied.
"Yes!"
As soon as the girl spoke, she was interrupted by the middle-aged man surnamed Xu.
"Young man, sanitary napkins are indeed a hot commodity. How about you and my young lady discuss it slowly at the teahouse!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man surnamed Xu glanced in a certain direction with a serious expression.
"Uncle Xu, you came here to take this young brother away first and eat alone?"
"That doesn't seem right!"
As the voice fell, a young man wearing a bamboo leaf hat and holding a blade of grass in his mouth slowly walked out from the crowd.
"What Xiao Dao said makes sense. Xu Xiong, what you're doing is indeed not very decent!"
Immediately, a booming voice like a thunderclap spread from the crowd, causing many onlookers to cover their ears and move aside.
Ye Feng and the others also saw who had made the unusually loud sound. It was a burly middle-aged man with a single, flat, reddish-brown eyebrow, eyes crisscrossed with red threads, hair that stood on end, and a rather ferocious face.
"Good heavens... this guy..."
Seeing the burly middle-aged man, Ye Feng felt speechless. The man looked like a serial killer from a horror movie.
"Xiao Dao, it's been half a year, and you've broken through from Intermediate Black Iron to Advanced Black Iron!"
The middle-aged man Xu Xiong looked at the young man and chuckled.
"Uncle Xu is joking. To call me a strong person in front of you is truly humbling for a junior!"
The young man with the bamboo leaf hat waved his hand modestly.
"Qiu Li, my girl, didn't you go to Zhongzhou? How did you come back so soon?"
The middle-aged man with the ferocious face looked at the girl next to Xu Xiong and spoke loudly again.
"Senior Lu Mang! I returned a few days ago!"
The girl was not afraid of the middle-aged man with the ferocious face and greeted him with a smile.
"Young man, wait a moment!"
Hearing this voice, Ye Feng's mind was filled with ten thousand wild horses running past.
He really wanted to slip away while these people were greeting and catching up, but the middle-aged man named Lu Mang called out to him.
"Young man, your supplies are indeed a hot commodity. Xu Xiong and Xiao Dao, it's probably unrealistic to ask them to give up. How about we find a teahouse and have a good chat?"
"What do you say, young man?"
Lu Mang glanced at Xu Xiong and the young man with the bamboo leaf hat, and finally his gaze fell on Ye Feng.
Ye Feng really wanted to say, "I don't know you well, you guys chat by yourselves," but looking around, he finally gave up...
...
Half an hour later,
In a spacious street-facing room on the third floor of a villa teahouse, not far from where Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao drank milk tea yesterday upon entering the Tyrannosaurus Rex base,
Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao sat around a square table. On Ye Feng's left sat Xu Xiong and the girl named Qiu Li, and on his right sat Xiao Dao and Lu Mang, whose face was more ferocious than a chainsaw maniac. The seat opposite Ye Feng was empty.
Beside the table where Ye Feng was seated, the woman named Li Qi and the woman in the qipao named Huang Chen Chu stood by, looking helpless and with wry smiles.
"Little boss, didn't you say you were hungry and going to eat? Have some dessert first, paired with some Biluochun tea!"
The girl Qiu Li poured a cup of tea for Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao respectively and pointed to the several plates of pastries, biscuits, and other items on the table.
Ye Feng did not move. He was contemplating how to escape from here...
"Fortunately, I always put my supplies in bags to sell in the free trade zone before. I didn't reveal that I had spatial rift fragments or anything like that~"
After a brief recollection, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Feng didn't move, and although Xiao Xiao was very hungry, she didn't move either. The others also remained still, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the room became quite awkward.
"Hey, you people, stop beating around the bush and being indirect!"
After a period of silence, Lu Mang's unusually loud voice broke the ice. "Young man, I'll be direct. These sanitary napkins are very important to us. Bring out all you have for sale, and we won't treat you unfairly in terms of price!"
"Mhm, mhm!"
The girl Qiu Li immediately nodded in agreement.
"You're an arcane energy cultivator, aren't you? I can exchange arcane origin stones with you!"
The young man Xiao Dao chimed in.
"In addition to the price you quoted before, we can also give you enhanced serums!"
Xu Xiong frowned slightly and then also spoke.
"What... what is going on?"
Ye Feng was very puzzled.
He could understand why the girl named Qiu Li wanted sanitary napkins, but why were those three men also so eager... that was a bit...
Especially that Lu Mang, the burly middle-aged man who looked like he could scare someone to death if encountered on the road at night, seemed to care the most!
"Young man, my name is Han Qiuli. To be honest, these sanitary napkins, whether it's for me, Uncle Lu Mang, or Xiao Dao, we are obtaining them to give to an arcane rune master!"
"You could say we are determined to get them!"
At this moment, the girl spoke again. "I see you selling such high-quality goods at the market. You must be from out of town, and likely visiting the Tyrannosaurus Rex base for the first time!"
"How about this, you're here presumably to gain the qualifications and equipment to explore the 'Red Anomaly Ruins'!"
"I'll make a decision for you. You won't have to go through the test and will directly get a spot, and I'll provide you with equipment. In return, you provide us with 100 packs of sanitary napkins, how about it?"
Han Qiuli quickly said to Ye Feng.
After speaking, Han Qiuli looked at Lu Mang and Xiao Dao: "Han Qiuli, Uncle Lu Mang, and Xiao Dao, let's discuss how to distribute these 100 packs of sanitary napkins, okay?"
Lu Mang and Xiao Dao were silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
Then, Han Qiuli, Xu Xiong, Lu Mang, and Xiao Dao all focused their attention on Ye Feng.
