Chapter 12 : Finally sold

"Sigh, I hope I don't have to face any more bad things."

Just wanting to sell herbs, why is it so hard? I have to hurry to find the shop that is there. Hurry up and sell and leave this town as quickly as possible. I started to feel that bad things were starting to target me.

That drug store probably wasn't too far from here. I tried to look around before continuing. and noticed that there was a house in the distance The condition of the house looks much better than the surrounding houses. So I decided to go in and take a closer look. And finally I found good news. Even though I hadn't reached the store yet, at a distance of fifty meters, I could clearly smell the herbs coming from that house.

After a few moments, I walked to the front of the shop. The condition of this drugstore doesn't look good at all But if compared to the houses around As if mostly abandoned, it was a very nice looking drugstore.

"I don't see the name of the shop at all. Are you still open for business?"

"Arrived at the destination There's nothing to hesitate Let's go inside first."

I walked up the stairs to the door of the shop and opened it into the shop. The first thing that caught my eye as soon as I entered the drugstore was that it was dark inside. although not completely dark But there were only a few lanterns hanging in the store. And this shop doesn't seem to have any windows to let in the sunlight.

There are many shelves around the store. But many of the shelves were empty. There will also be some shelves with small liquid bottles with some water inside lined up in a very messy manner.

In addition to the shelves that look empty. With my good vision in the dark I could also see that there was dust all over the shop. It's like the owner of the shop hasn't been interested in cleaning for years.

I swept my gaze around the store. and see the part that looks like a table to receive customers There was a lamp placed on a long table. But I didn't see anyone in the store. But at least I think the store is still open for business.

"Is anyone there? I have herbs to sell."

I asked out loud even though I couldn't see anyone.

"This shop no longer accepts herbs. I sell only I have enough of your low-grade herbs. If you don't buy anything, get out. I'm busy."

There was a loud reply coming from the room where the door was closed. It was in the corner of the store, obscured by a shelf. If I'm not hear someone answering from the room I probably didn't even notice that room.

"Please buy it for me. I really need the money. Otherwise, my house would have starved to death in the coming winter."

But this time there was no reply from that room.

"Please, please buy my herbs. My father is sick and can't go to work. My mother had to take care of the younger sibling. Only I can come out and make money."

But there was still no reply from that room as before. I decided to increase the level of pitiful in asking. I started to burst into tears and pretended to cry and begged for another round.

"Please, please. My house is starving to death, I..."

"Boom!!"

At the moment I'm pretending to call for pity A loud explosion sound came out from the room.

"Damn it, you're making me lose my concentration. The expensive pills I brewed are all gone. I'll kill you, chop you up and sell it to the circus to feed the tigers.

Now, I felt that I was in trouble, so I decided to take out the hundred-year-old mushroom that I wanted to sell and hold it in my hand. Think that might help

Suddenly, the door to the corner of the shop opened. along with the smoke coming out A middle-aged man walked out quickly. His face was extremely angry.

"Do you know how much money you made me lost? .That bottle of potion if I can make it. I can sell it for at least 40 silver coins. Those idiots at the luxury drugstore outside will be amazed at my abilities."

"Sir, please look at the mushrooms I am going to sell first. I really need money, please."

I tried to put out the hand holding the mushroom as far as I could. Not sure how clearly in a dimly lit shop the shopkeeper would see.

"Those trash mushrooms I don't...God bless...1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10...11

This is an 11-layered ear mushroom, 110 years old!!"

The startled shopkeeper cried out loudly. As soon as he came to his senses, he jumped over the table in front of him. Ignoring the things on the table that he bumped into were scattered all over the place.

"A 110-year-old mushroom ,since i was born it a first time i had seen it with my own eyes. I've heard merchants from far away mention that in a land where spirit energy is good, there are hundreds of year old herbs."

"Where did you find this mushroom? Are there any mushrooms left? I will pay more so hurry up and tell me quickly."

"I was lost in the forest the other day. fell to the edge of the cliff But fortunately, I fell onto a stone platform that emerged from the cliff to hold me, so I didn't fall to my death below. On the edge of the stone platform that I fell on, I found this mushroom growing on it. I tried to find more, but there was nothing else."

I tried to speak in a tone of regret for the opportunity. The shopkeeper stared at me with a thoughtful expression on my words.

"Unfortunately, if you have another one, I assure you, you will definitely be rich like you never dreamed of before. But it's normal, the mushroom is 100 years old is so rare, even I've just seen it for the first time."

"How much are you going to sell? I'll give you a chance to set the price first. it's very rare I don't like taking advantage of anyone."

"I don't know the price either. I've heard that someone sells a 70-year-old herb for almost 300 Silver Coins. If mine is a hundred years old as you said... Can I sell it for 500 Silver Coins, sir?"

I know that if I sell at a big shop outside this slum I would definitely be able to get it for no less than 1 gold. But I'm not sure if a shabby shop like this has the money to buy it. And I don't dare to sell it too expensive because I want to sell it quickly and hurry home.

"500 Silver Coins? Alright, I'm not taking advantage of anyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper walked back behind the table he had jumped over. He bent down to open the drawer and tried to find the contents of the drawer. I thought he was going to gather some money to buy my mushrooms because of the sound of the coins clattering clearly.

"Looks like the money here isn't enough… don't worry. I still have it in my room. I'll go in and get it, don't go anywhere, it won't be long."

Then the shopkeeper walked into the room where the explosion sounded earlier. while waiting for him to come out I looked around the shop. What immediately caught my eye was the medicine shelf not far from the reception desk. It seems to have been cleaner and the bottles are clearly more organized than the other shelves.

"Is there any interesting medicine?"

I saw that it stood out from the other shelves, so I walked closer to take a closer look. I raised my hand and reached out to pick up a bottle of sparkling green water even in the dark.

"Be careful, there's all poison on that shelf. Especially that green bottle that you're about to pick up. It's super strong. Just spilled half of that bottle.. It will spread in the air throughout the shop. Even if it doesn't kill you right away But it will make you unable to move your body until even your heart will eventually stop beating. It is one of my most recent outstanding works."

I was startled, and I hurriedly pulled my hand back almost immediately.

"All the money is ready. I'll put it on the magic money checker tray to show that it's all real money. I told you, I don't take advantage of anyone."

"Magic tray?"

"You're a real country boy. You've probably never seen a magic tray. If there weren't any magic trays, people would all have faked counterfeit coins and used them to but thing. But with this tray, you can be sure that every coin of my money is real."

I'm not surprised that there are real or fake coins checks. But I'm shocked Hearing the word "magic", it seems that this world has supernatural powers like magic.In the memory of my former world Magic seems to be just a bedtime story.If this world had magic The things I saw that night must have something to do with magic... Dangerous magic.

"Okay, take a good look. If my money on the magic tray is fake There will be a bright red light coming out of the tray. But if it was real money, it would be a white light."

"Uh... well, I've never seen a magic tray before. So I don't know if it's true or false. But I trust that you have no reason to deceive me, sir."

"It's true, you're right. So I will not waste your time. This money is yours That mushroom is mine, okay?"

"Okay, sir."
