Chapter 431 Puppet
He glanced at the nervous Chen Xi, then at the old man with a missing ear under the shadow of the withered tree, and finally nodded.
"Okay, but I have to have this bag of dried vegetables!" Xu Si bargained as usual.
Chen Xi's eyes lit up for a moment, but quickly dimmed again.
Seemingly certain that Xu Si was another blackmailer, she bit her lip and remained silent.
"Agree and I'll give it to you right now!" Xu Si was taken aback. Although the food was precious, surely the deal shouldn't fall through because of it?
"Huh? Really?" Girls this age are all so clueless, just like Jiao Jiao, they both seem a bit dim-witted.
"Of course I'll give it to you!" Xu Si gave him the [Hermaphrodite Sequence Awakening Potion], because it didn't sound like a good sequence.
As for the remaining [Clay Figure Sequence Awakening Potion], its potential is definitely even higher.
He stored the meteorite fragments and the bag of dried vegetables into his dimensional space, and took out the hermaphrodite sequence awakening potion that shimmered with black and white light from his pocket.
Chen Xi stared intently at the test tube, her pupils filled with hope.
The Awakening Potion of the Bright Caravan is too expensive; it takes four strange items to exchange for one. He didn't expect Xu Si to exchange it for her so easily.
Xu Si was completely prejudiced; he thought that with the wizards from the Light Caravan in the camp, the Awakening Potion wouldn't fetch a good price.
In addition, he needed this strange drop and was eager to complete the exchange, so he suffered in silence.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't really care.
Chen Xi reached out her hands and carefully took the test tube, as if she were receiving a fragile treasure.
The two elderly men behind her also raised their heads and opened their eyes, a glint of indescribable light flashing in their cloudy eyes.
"Thank you, thank you!" Chen Xi bowed deeply several times to express her gratitude.
Xu Si didn't say anything more and turned to leave the Star Train team's booth.
Behind him, he heard Chen Xi's hushed voice: "Uncle Wu, we have it... we finally have it..."
The voice was trembling with sobs.
Xu Si didn't stop walking; his figure disappeared into the crowd.
-
The scale of the trade fair was larger than he had expected.
The ashes of three bonfires still lingered in the center of the area, the traces of last night's revelry covered by the morning's busyness.
The stalls of each convoy were lined up along the edge of the venue, offering a wide variety of goods, from weapons and ammunition to daily necessities. Some were even selling their own vehicles.
The crowd gathered around the salary train team's booth was clearly the largest.
Over the past few days, they had figured out what the other stalls had to offer, but the Xin Huoche team was the real hot commodity right now.
Xu Si also saw many strange figures with a frog on their heads, the feature of which was all too clear.
Xu Si weaved through the crowd. Because his sequence was high enough, no one could detect his true strength and treated him as an ordinary extraordinary being.
He became even more popular in the trading market, especially after he traded away one of the potions.
It is especially popular among some women.
Countless people among them wanted to get something for free.
Xu Si strolled leisurely through the stalls but didn't find anything interesting. Instead, he was drawn to a commotion.
Looking back, I saw Lin Zhennan arguing with the stall owner in front of the Divine Turtle Car Team's stall.
"Is this also a rare item? Why can't I exchange it for your puppet?"
Lin Zhennan's voice wasn't loud, but the argument still attracted a lot of attention.
Disputes mean there's always something to watch, especially when the disputes involve two relatively powerful factions on the island.
Xu Si stopped and turned to look at the Divine Turtle Team's stall.
The stall was located in the northwest corner of the venue, which wasn't a great location either, but it was arranged quite nicely.
Several moisture-proof cloths were pieced together to form a large square, on which were placed all sorts of items—swords, armor, amulets, rings, and even a few strange items whose purpose was unclear.
The object Lin Zhennan was holding was about the size of a football, which should be the puppet he was talking about.
"If you can't afford it, just leave it!" The stall owner didn't explain, clearly indicating that he wasn't absolutely obligated to sell it.
Xu Si had suffered at Cui Daoxuan's hands before, so he stepped forward to see what the so-called puppet was like.
"How can you talk like that?"
Even though he was unhappy, Lin Zhennan didn't put down the puppet, because he really needed it.
Xu Si stepped forward, his gaze falling on the puppet.
It was a rhinoceros puppet, only the size of a football, cast entirely from some kind of dark gray metal, with fine patterns covering its surface. The entire rhinoceros body was perfectly integrated into a sphere.
I don't know what it will look like when it unfolds.
[Strange object detected: Rhinoceros golem]
[Ranking of Oddities: 2671]
【Characteristics: Charge, Protect, Fearless】
"How did you change it?" Xu Si asked, and Lin Zhennan looked somewhat embarrassed.
"If it's a rare item, it should be ranked no lower than this, and we need it; if it's a potion, we'll only exchange it for two Awakening Potions!" The stall owner was straightforward, and his price was reasonable.
As for Lin Zhennan's rare artifact, it's ranked outside the top 8000; he's certainly not stupid.
"Brother Dao!" Lin Zhennan was really at his wit's end. It was really a case of being forced to call Xu Si "brother" when he was over forty years old. If Xu Si could buy him something, he might even kneel down.
The main reason is that this thing is perfect for him, even though he's only the size of a soccer ball.
However, when fully extended, it was three times larger than a normal warhorse, and what he lacked was a mount.
Is a knight still a knight if he doesn't have a mount?
Now that he sees such a perfect and unique item at the stall, how could he not be tempted?
"How about I trade you my car and this strange object?"
This was all he had left, but the stall owner still shook his head.
Lin Zhennan had no choice but to look at Xu Si.
He desperately wanted Xu Si to take it from him.
After all, if you want to establish authority, why not do it this way?
If Xu Si speaks up, he will be the first to charge.
However, Xu Si did not speak.
He simply stood in front of the stall, looking down at the other two puppets on it.
One is a pure white bear-like puppet, and its function is similar to Fu Xiaojian's [Stone Statue Puppet].
The other one is a puppet similar to the groundhogs from before the apocalypse; it can dig holes and act as a guard, making it a functional puppet.
The three strange objects are ranked roughly the same, which suggests they were created artificially.
Xu Si really liked that groundhog puppet.
It's mainly because it's small and cute. If I gave it to my younger sister as a gift, she would probably like it.
Xu Si reached out and picked up the groundhog puppet, weighing it in his palm.
It's very light to the touch, and the material doesn't feel like metal; it's more like some kind of specially treated bone with a delicate glaze-like sheen on the surface.
The groundhog's form is also lifelike, with its two front paws slightly raised, as if it is bowing or looking around warily.
Those ruby-encrusted eyes gleamed with a dark red light under the blood-red sun, bearing a striking resemblance to Xu Si's starry eyes.
