Elves: Dark Ages

Chapter 54: Purchasing Resources

Chen Yang came to Butcher Lane and walked into an alley.

This is a slum market selling all kinds of meat and vegetables.

Chen Yang walked along the narrow streets towards the deepest part of the market.

The purpose of his coming to Butcher Alley was to purchase some elf meat to help the bog jumper supplement its nutrition, which was a daily necessity.

On both sides of the street, large pieces of red and white flesh hung on black iron hooks, and the blood gave off a dazzling light under the sunlight.

Chen Yang couldn't help but frowned.

What is sold here is only ordinary livestock meat, such as mutton, pork and beef, and he is not interested in this.

The fleshy energy of ordinary creatures cannot satisfy the appetite of the marsh jumping fish at all.

There are many vendors around the stalls, arranging livestock on the shelves, waiting for the butcher to slaughter them.

The strong butcher swings the steam robot arm to deliver the cut pieces of meat to the stall.

Chen Yang walked for a while and stopped in front of a wooden stall.

The tails of Magikarp and Slowpoke hung on the black iron hook in front of him, exuding the pungent smell of blood.

"Oink, are you out so early?"

Oink's thick arms were chopping the tail of the Slowpoke on the chopping board, and he looked up at Chen Yang.

He said nothing and continued to chop with his head down.

Seeing that Oyink ignored him, Chen Yang shook his head helplessly, walked to a corner and sat down, waiting quietly.

Finally, Oyink finished his work.

He grabbed a Slowpoke tail, stuffed it into a black bag, then threw it to Chen Yang and said:

"Here you go, 500 gold crowns."

Chen Yang was stunned:

"so cheap?"

You should know that Slowpoke's tail can be sold for 1000 gold crowns.

Chen Yang picked up the bag and looked at it.

It was a big tail half a meter long, all pink, and the smell of blood spread into his nostrils, making Chen Yang feel very comfortable.

Oyink glanced at Chen Yang:

"Love or not."

After saying this, he continued to wave the butcher knife and chop other meat.

Chen Yang shrugged, took out the credit machine, swiped 1000 gold crowns, and left with the bag.

He waved his hand:

"The Red Rose Tavern is waiting for you tonight!"

"kindness."

Oink responded without raising his head.

……

After walking out of the market, Chen Yang put the black bag into his backpack.

Chen Yang looked at the watch on his wrist.

"It's already 8:50."

Next, he was going to the elf supermarket to buy some energy cubes and tree fruits. The stock at home was almost running out.

Chen Yang walked to the taxi on the roadside.

I saw that the horse had been tamed and was lying on the ground obediently. When it saw Chen Yang, the horse immediately raised its neck, stuck out its tongue and licked the back of Chen Yang's hand.

"Let's go to the elf supermarket."

He sat in the back seat of the car and closed his eyes to relax.

The taxi slowly left Butcher's Lane and headed towards the destination.

On the way, light and sweet piano music sounded in the car.

There was peace in the carriage.

Suddenly, Chen Yang opened his eyes, turned his eyes, and looked outside through the window.

I saw a woman in a red dress outside, sitting in front of the cafe and smoking.

The woman is extremely beautiful, with delicate facial features, fair skin, and a delicate face like a porcelain doll.

Her eyes were cold and arrogant. When she saw Chen Yang looking out the window, she raised the corner of her mouth and revealed a sarcastic smile.

"That weird woman!"

Chen Yang's pupils shrank and he lowered his head and said nothing.

This woman is clearly the girl in red whom she met after leaving the tavern yesterday.

A sense of crisis arose in Chen Yang's heart.

The carriage arrived at the gate of Elf Supermarket and the driver stopped.

……

Bumani Elf Supermarket occupies part of the shopping mall. It is a large-scale commercial district and one of the important industries of this town.

After Chen Yang paid, he got out of the car and looked up at the shopping mall building.

He walked into the supermarket with an expressionless face.

"Hello sir, what would you like to buy?"

"We have various elf items here, such as elf balls, evolution stones, elf food, elf eggs, energy cubes, etc."

A salesperson with a freckled face came forward and asked with a smile.

Chen Yang glanced around.

There are all kinds of elf items on the dazzling shelves.

They are packed into boxes and distributed in various areas according to price.

The cheapest elf food section costs several hundred to several thousand, and evolution stones and elf eggs are even more valuable.

"Have you decided what to buy?"

The freckled-faced salesman asked again.

"Do you have any recommendations for energy cubes that are more suitable for bog jumpers?"

Chen Yang asked.

The stocks in his home are just the most common and popular energy blocks.

Well known.

The flavor and color of the energy cubes depend on the types of tree fruits involved in the mix, and the flavors of the tree fruits will cancel each other out.

Elves with different personalities will prefer different flavors.

If an elf eats an energy cube of his favorite flavor, the status of the corresponding item will rise faster.

I have the opportunity today to do some shopping to increase my family's reserves.

"Bamplefish?"

"I recommend you to choose the blue earth energy cube."

The freckled-faced salesman led Chen Yang toward an area.

Chen Yang followed the counter and saw a blue and yellow intermediate energy cube placed on the counter.

"This blue earth energy cube is made of two main materials: green fruit and earth radish, plus more than a dozen special plants. It is specially prepared for water and ground elves."

"Blue earth energy cubes are affordable and very suitable for the recipe of the bog jumping fish. Do you want to try them?"

The salesperson introduced enthusiastically.

"Okay, help me choose ten dollars."

Chen Yang said calmly.

The freckled-faced salesman immediately took out ten blue earth energy cubes, packed them, and handed them to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang took out the credit machine, scanned the code, and looked at the amount.

Not expensive, the price is close to the people, only 1 gold crowns.

This money was given to me by others, so I didn't feel bad about spending it.

After Chen Yang paid, he saw that it was still early and walked around again.

This shopping mall is an asset of the nobles in the town. Cherished resources such as energy cubes and elf eggs have long been completely monopolized by the noble chaebols.

This also made elven resources extremely expensive, and the Hunter Association was born because of this.

They have a professional production line. If civilian trainers want to buy elf eggs, other than elf supermarkets, they can only try their luck on the black market.

The black market is a very chaotic place, with everyone selling everything, and it is the only choice for the poor.

Chen Yang wandered aimlessly.

This shopping mall is so big, you can see gorgeous Greek columns everywhere, decorated with beautiful crystal candlesticks.

walked for a while.

Chen Yang was attracted by a giant mural.

On the mural, a large bird Pokémon flutters its wings and its colorful flag-like tail floats long.

It has beautiful blue feathers, its crown is composed of three dark blue prismatic feathers, and its eyes are red. Its beak is short and gray, the same color as its long, slender legs.

The building in front of it is the most glorious symbol of Tuang Town, Tuang Tower.

The artistic conception of this mural gives people a sense of solemnity, simplicity and vicissitudes of life.

"The legendary elf, the frozen bird..."

Chen Yang sighed in surprise.

"It's shocking!"

A man's voice came from the side.

Chen Yang turned around and saw a young gentleman in a white suit standing there.

He is tall and tall, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a gentle smile on his face.

The armored warrior beside him waved his two front pincers and looked around cautiously without saying a word.

Chen Yang smiled;

"It's really shocking."

"This is a mural that has been passed down by our family for hundreds of years. It was painted by my ancestors themselves."

"Every once in a while, our family will hold a feast in Tuang Tower and recruit a group of outstanding carvers, artists, musicians, etc. to perform carvings and art displays in Tuang Tower."

The young gentleman introduced himself.

Chen Yang nodded lightly and didn't pay much attention to this.

Seeing that Chen Yang had no intention of talking, the young gentleman continued:

"I see that your physique is different from ordinary people. Are you a fighter?"

"No."

Chen Yang replied.

The young gentleman smiled and nodded, took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Chen Yang:

"Sir, if you are interested in attending the banquet, you can contact me."

His attitude was polite, he spoke, and extended his right hand to shake hands.

Chen Yang smiled and nodded.

The two shook hands.

Chen Yang put away his business card, turned and left.
