"How about it, are you buying?"
After the middle-aged woman left, Ye Feng turned to look at the owner of the gasoline stall. Since the other party could sell gasoline, he should have Arcanes to purchase supplies.
"This..."
The owner of the gasoline stall didn't reply. He stared at the wooden board above Ye Feng's stall, and after a long time, his expression became quite strange.
"Young man, did you write the exchange rate wrong on your sign?"
The owner of the gasoline stall was speechless. Seeing what Ye Feng had added to the wooden board, he thought he had developed presbyopia prematurely.
"Boss, is what's on your sign true?"
Just as Ye Feng was about to speak, a young man with a crew cut who had been observing for a while called out to Ye Feng first.
"What sign?"
Ye Feng was a little confused.
"You wrote on your sign that complete Arcanes can be exchanged with you at a 1:2 ratio!"
The young man with the crew cut pointed to the wooden board Ye Feng had just written on, his expression astonished.
"Oh, of course, it's true!"
Ye Feng glanced at the wooden board and nodded.
"Originally, 100 Arcanes, the kind taken from a Bronze Treasure Chest, can be exchanged for 200 Arcanes here!"
"Originally, 200 Arcanes, the kind taken from a Black Iron Treasure Chest, can be exchanged for 400 Arcanes here."
"Others will be considered on a case-by-case basis, first come, first served... I don't have many Arcanes!"
Seeing the confused look on the young man's face, Ye Feng quickly explained.
"Oh, right, the Arcanes brought to me for exchange must be complete, not used or damaged!"
"Of course, you can also choose to purchase equivalent supplies directly from me!"
Ye Feng added after a pause.
"Really... really!?"
Upon hearing this, the young man with the crew cut was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned red, and his expression was extremely excited.
"Of course, it's true!"
Ye Feng added after a pause.
The young man's reaction was within Ye Feng's expectations. After all, he had seen many such reactions at the Adventurer's Guild in Shuangyu Town before.
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, the noisy marketplace suddenly fell silent, and the next second, it exploded with a "whoosh."
"Is it true or not?"
"Is this kid crazy? Doing business at a loss?"
"Damn, this isn't a loss anymore, this is clearly giving money away!"
"The prodigal son of some large base? With this exchange rate, he's going to squander all his fortune!"
"Look how new his clothes are, he's probably a real prodigal son!"
...
"Hey, crew cut, help me spread the word, and I'll give you this bread as payment!"
Seeing that the crowd was discussing but didn't believe him, Ye Feng tossed a plump little bread to the young man with the crew cut.
"Clack~"
The young man with the crew cut instinctively caught it, but his eyes were still filled with disbelief.
"Wait here, don't run, I'll go notify people right away!"
After speaking, the young man with the crew cut turned directly and rushed out of the crowd.
"Sir, are you speaking the truth!?"
At this moment, the owner of the gasoline stall also spoke to Ye Feng. His address to Ye Feng had now turned into a respectful term!
"Of course, it's true, otherwise, why would I be here to tease you all!?"
Ye Feng replied with a hint of annoyance.
Although Ye Feng often had surplus after purchasing the daily refresh of supplies from the [Shop] with his Survival Coins, and he had over twenty unopened Black Iron Treasure Chests bought from the [Trading Channel] in his spatial storage, he didn't think his current amount of Survival Coins was a lot.
Ye Feng hadn't forgotten the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and nuclear bombs that had appeared in the [Shop] previously. The price was 99999999... he couldn't even remember how many nines there were...
"This... please wait a moment..."
Saying that, the owner of the gasoline stall stopped selling gasoline, gave instructions to his assistant, and also ran off quickly.
...
What followed was a somewhat boring wait.
Whether it was the crew cut guy spreading the word or Ye Feng's unbelievably high Arcane exchange rate, more and more people gathered around him and Xiaoxiao, completely surrounding the area. Discussions and doubts arose one after another.
"Make way, make way!"
Suddenly, an anxious shout rang out. It was the young man with the crew cut.
"Boss, this... this complete Arcane is from the Bronze Treasure Chest the exploration team obtained yesterday. I... I just took it off, it hasn't been used, not even a scratch."
"You... you keep your word!"
The young man with the crew cut had been running all the way and was panting.
As he spoke, he spread out a handkerchief, which contained a single Arcane.
"Oh, let me see!~"
Ye Feng took the Arcane and examined it.
"Ding~"
"Detected a complete Survival Coin, do you wish to absorb it!~"
The system's mechanical voice sounded in Ye Feng's mind.
"It is indeed a complete Arcane!~"
Ye Feng nodded, quickly put away the empty Arcane, and then said to the young man with the crew cut, "Do you want to exchange it for Arcanes, or for supplies of equivalent value?"
"Rea... really?"
Even after receiving Ye Feng's confirmation, the young man with the crew cut still looked shocked.
"Of course, it's true! Hurry up and decide, there are people queuing behind you!!~"
Seeing that the young man with the crew cut was a bit dazed, Ye Feng couldn't help but urge him. He had already seen several people who were watching from the side now reaching into their pockets.
"I... I want Arcanes!"
The young man with the crew cut snapped back to reality, overjoyed, and shouted.
"Keep your voice down!"
Ye Feng involuntarily flinched back. The young man with the crew cut was very close to him, and his loud voice was uncomfortable for his eardrums.
The next second, Ye Feng's hand flashed with light, and an Arcane instantly appeared, which he handed to the young man with the crew cut.
"200... it's 200, I really got it!"
The young man with the crew cut looked at the number on the Arcane in his hand and jumped for joy.
"Everyone with complete Arcanes, hurry up! I don't have many Arcanes, first come, first served. Those behind will only be able to choose supplies!"
Seeing that many people around were still hesitating, Ye Feng decided to add fuel to the fire.
"Guo the Crew Cut, don't just stand there, I also have an Arcane!~"
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, someone couldn't hold back.
Following behind the young man with the crew cut, a man so thin he was almost skin and bones squeezed to the front, shouting, "Little boss, please take a look, I have a 100 Arcane here. It hasn't been used, but it has some scratches!"
...
