Adventurer's Bazaar

"You're really too straightforward, Ethan. Girls won't like that," Sprite Tina said to Ethan Brooks.

"My personality is none of your business. I've always been like this," Ethan Brooks replied to Sprite Tina.

"I won't argue with you, Ethan. I suggest you go check out the Adventurer's Bazaar first. It's where adventurers, or players, trade with each other, and occasionally some local residents join in. The items they sell are generally two or three levels better than those in the item shops, but they're also much more expensive. You might find some really good treasures there," Sprite Tina said to Ethan Brooks.

Ethan Brooks nodded and said to Sprite Tina, "Lead the way." Sprite Tina looked at Ethan Brooks with a flicker in her eyes, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't. She just flew forward.

The Adventurer's Bazaar was located in the center of the town. The signboard had a hand holding a gold coin and another hand holding some kind of item, exchanging with each other. The meaning was simple and clear.

Ethan Brooks walked in. The first floor of the Adventurer's Bazaar had only a narrow staircase, wide enough for three or four people to go up and down at the same time. Ethan Brooks couldn't help but feel that the bazaar couldn't be very large.

When he went upstairs, Ethan Brooks understood what "you can't judge a book by its cover" meant. The second floor had an area of nearly three thousand square meters, which was completely different from the narrow appearance seen from below. Now, looking inside, there were eight or nine hundred people trading there.

Ethan Brooks walked into the second floor, where there were already many people setting up stalls or trading, as well as quite a few people wandering around. Ethan Brooks wandered inside and was really broadened his horizons.

These adventurers were dressed more individually than each other. There was a person in black leather shorts and a leather vest, but inappropriately wearing a bear head (a real bear head, only made into a hat) hat. There was also a person dressed like a McDonald's clown, with a red nose, wearing a red and yellow overalls, and having an afro. There was also a person with at least two hundred rings on his body, including nose rings, arm rings, neck rings, leg rings, and ear rings... The list goes on.

These were still relatively good. Ethan Brooks even saw a person wrapped in bandages like a mummy, with only a large eye exposed, and another person with half of his face crying and the other half smiling, with one side of his hair black and the other side white, and his clothes and shoes also in different colors on each side...

As for the clothes worn by the remaining people, Ethan Brooks could only see them in science fiction movies, cosplay, and comics. They were too... too avant-garde and too diverse. Occasionally, a few people dressed in ordinary clothes seemed strange among the crowd.

"Tina, what kind of functional items are there here?" Ethan Brooks asked.

"This is for the master to search for himself. These are all random transactions. You never know what you might find," Sprite Tina said to Ethan Brooks. She was really impressed with this master, who was extremely clear about his purpose.

The entire second floor could be described as just an open space. The ground was divided into rectangular areas of six or seven square meters each, and each area was almost the same size. People set up stalls on the ground, displaying many strange and unusual items. Some customers, who were also dressed or looked very strangely, walked around and looked at the items. If they saw something they liked, they would squat down and bargain with the stall owner.

Ethan Brooks took a look. This was the legendary... flea market, wasn't it?

Tina fluttered and said to Ethan Brooks, "Ethan, go take a look and see if there's anything you need."

Ethan Brooks nodded and walked among the stalls.

At the first stall he saw, a vendor with an afro and skin like an African guy, in addition to some miscellaneous items, the most eye-catching thing on his stall was a black mono radio from the 1960s and 1970s, with a broadcast and tape playback function, and something that had to be carried on the shoulder to move. Ethan Brooks squatted down and took a look, touching it and not feeling any difference from the old antique his grandfather used.

He looked at the description in front of the radio: "Combat Radio, capable of playing combat tapes. Anyone who hears the combat songs on the radio's tape, regardless of friend or foe, beast or bird, can increase their attributes corresponding to the combat tape. This radio is a high-end dual-channel product. In addition to playing combat tapes, it can also play curse tapes to reduce the attributes of anyone who hears them."

The Druid's totem effect, effective for both friend and foe, Ethan Brooks judged in his heart that this was not what he wanted.

Ethan Brooks continued to walk inside.

There were all kinds of things on the stalls in the marketplace. Ethan Brooks saw many items with strange names, such as "Crushed stone that can reduce the success rate of smelting," "A money cat that will not have any customers," "A cursed statue of the goddess of fortune" - - - - Is it fortune or curse?

Ethan Brooks wandered around, looking for any props or treasures he needed, and slowly wandered to the central stall of the marketplace.

The items sold here were slightly more complete than those on the periphery, and the names of the props gradually became more normal. There were really some items that seriously increased various attributes.

There were also a lot of people inside, relatively crowded. Ethan Brooks wandered slowly when suddenly, an item on a stall set up by a person wearing a mask like the "King of Hooks" from Street Fighter caught Ethan Brooks' attention.

"A set of basic ability cards, not sold individually. Divided into basic body movement, basic footwork, basic physical techniques, basic weapon application, basic combat, and basic meditation. The average bit capacity is 1,200. They can be used in card repair shops in various cities to slightly and permanently increase basic attributes, obtain basic abilities, and make learning other advanced abilities much easier," the introduction in front of the set of black cards read.

Ethan Brooks glanced at the price: "A set of six basic cards, 300,000 Euka. No bargaining. Sincere buyers only."

No matter what you learn, laying a solid foundation is a necessary condition for going further on the path of cultivation. Seeing this set of cards, he already had the intention of buying them.

"Ethan, this set of basic ability cards will be very useful to you. It's not easy to collect a complete set of basic ability cards, especially basic meditation. With this set of cards as the foundation, you will learn everything quickly in the future. Moreover, the price is not expensive. 300,000 Euka is already very cheap. That basic meditation card alone is worth 90,000 Euka," Sprite Tina said to Ethan Brooks.

Ethan Brooks nodded, squatted in front of the stall, picked up the six basic ability cards, and said to the man in the hook king mask, "I'll take this set of cards."
