Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In

Chapter 115: Chapter 103: You just crave Aina’s delicate, petite body, right! -1 Chapter 115: Chapter 103: You just crave Aina’s delicate, petite body, right! -1 [Traveler, the intense heat from the hat rapidly dissipated, but you still realized something.]

A staff that resonated with a hat transformed from a Yuan Su Furnace Core and bore a special seal—could it be something left by Wei’er’s mother?

But if it were left by Liya, why would it have ended up in the black market?

[Seeing that you, wearing the bull-headed mask, seemed interested in making a purchase, the boss quickly spoke up, “This staff is meant for Apprentice-level Skill Practitioners, and it only costs 4 gold coins. Would you like to buy it?”]

[Although Shopkeeper Lena didn’t know why you were also interested in that staff, thinking of Wei’er’s odd reaction just now, she came back to help you haggle with the boss.]

[“4 gold coins? For something that obviously didn’t use much material and looks like garbage, you dare ask for 4 gold coins? It’ll probably break after a few uses, won’t it? I won’t pay more than 1 gold coin.”]

[“1 gold coin?” The boss shook his head, “Honestly speaking, I spent 3 gold coins to get this staff, you can’t make me sell it at a loss, can you?”]

[Lena said, “3 gold coins, take it or leave it.”]

[After saying that, Lena pulled you as if to leave.]

[The boss conceded, “Fine, this is my first transaction of the day, let’s consider it good luck for the opening. However, if you find any problems after the purchase, please don’t come back to me.”]

Luo Xi: “…”

Had the boss not added that last sentence, it would have been better; but now, it just made him seem like a cunning merchant.

[Lena nonchalantly threw out 3 gold coins without even blinking.]

[Traveler, are all the Skill Practitioners in the scroll painting as wealthy as this?]

[It’s a pity that Cat Cat cannot paint scrolls; otherwise, you would have a stable source of income in the future.]

[Note: Traveler, you’re so garbage.]

[You held the pitch-black staff in your hand.]

[Wei’er quietly asked by your side, “Why buy it? It looks very ordinary, and maybe I was wrong earlier. Besides, don’t you already have a staff? That one is much better than this low-tier product.”]

[Traveler, you said, “Because I trust your intuition.”]

[Wei’er was stunned for a moment, then turned her head away, “What intuition? Such childishness.”]

[Ding! Wei’er’s favorability towards you +3]

[Traveler, you snickered to yourself.]

Luo Xi held back his smile.

Could this be the quintessential tsundere attitude of protesting too much?

[Wei’er took the staff from you to take a look, didn’t find anything unusual, and handed it back.]

[However, not long after, you suddenly discovered a stall in front of you selling very similar staffs, five of them placed together.]

[Wei’er stopped in her tracks and said, “I feel like this staff…”]

[The Sheep-headed boss at the stall caught sight of the staff in your hand and beckoned you over with a wave.]

[The Sheep-headed boss spoke mysteriously, “Dear customers, you didn’t buy that staff from that bull-headed guy, did you? How much did you pay?

This item is wholesale from the Winter Workshop, the cost is just 0.8 gold coins, it’s a subpar product among staffs for Apprentices and won’t last long. If you want more, you’ll need a few spares. If you’re still looking to buy, I can offer it to you for 1.5 gold coins each.”]

Luo Xi: “…”

[Shopkeeper Lena gave you a meaningful look.]

[Traveler, you crouched down and touched the staffs offered by the Sheep-headed boss.]

[In an instant, your hat once again grew hot.]

[Ding! Your confusion value +10]

[What on earth is going on?]

[If these were staffs left by Liya, then why were there so many of them?]

[Traveler, you said, “I’ll take all of these staffs.”]

[Ding! Sheep-headed boss’s favorability towards you +20]

[Description: He thinks you’re a big sucker.]

[Shopkeeper Lena said gravely, “Why buy so many? Are you going to eat them?”]

[“Sister Lena.” Wei’er gently tugged at the shop owner’s sleeve, “Can I consider it a loan from you, sister?”]

[Traveler, you felt somewhat moved.]

[Shopkeeper Lena said helplessly, “Never mind loans, it’s just a few gold coins and I can afford that. What I can’t stand is his attitude of not treating money as money. If you ever leave Winter City and still spend money so lavishly, sooner or later you will starve. Not to mention when it comes to marriage, many things need a lot of money…”]

[Wei’er immediately protested, “Sister Lena, what are you talking about? Who’s going to marry this pervert?!”]

[Ding! Your happiness level +20]

[Lena’s words made you, the Traveler, somewhat happy.]

[Is this woman, who could be considered half an elder to Cat Cat, already agreeing to let you whisk Cat Cat away?]

[Note: Perverted Loli-con Traveler, please rein in your delusions; this is not the place to be fanatical.]

Luo Xi: “…”

[The Sheep-headed boss took out a bag and packed all the staffs into it for you.]

[Ding! Boss’s favorability towards you +10]

[Traveler, you realized that wearing the mask, you do not trigger the negative talent of same-sex repulsion.]

[That turned out to be a rather useful discovery.]

[Lena said, “There’s nothing else worth looking at, let’s go.”]

[Traveler, you prepared to leave the black market.]

[At that moment, you heard someone yelling, “Yellow Sand Knight, a path of Sublimation for Tier 0 Apprentices, does anyone want it? Only fifty pounds of Essence Crystals are needed for the purchase.”]
