Chapter 663: Chapter 683: With Just a Few Spirit Stones in Your Pocket, Can You Afford It? _1

Lin Chen turned his head and saw a familiar face.

Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan was not alone; beside her stood a man in his early thirties, his expression cold and arrogant, his eyes staring icily at Lin Chen, giving off a condescending air.

Lin Chen turned to ask, "Qinglin Shield, do you want it?"

Liu Yuan sneered, "Yes, I just need a defensive magical artifact, and I want it. Is there a problem?"

Lin Chen smiled and said to the shop owner, "Someone wants to buy it, so please process this order first."

Since Lin Chen didn’t express his intentions and Liu Yuan said she wanted to buy, the shop owner was naturally happy about the situation.

It didn’t matter who he sold to, as long as someone paid.

Liu Yuan coldly said, "I want the Qinglin Shield, but I’m not in a hurry. I want to look around more."

Lin Chen chuckled and ignored her, pointing to the Luoyan Ling: "You just introduced this Luoyan Ling. Although it’s a lower-grade magical treasure, it’s still decent. How many spirit stones does it cost?"

The shop owner replied with a smile, "50,000 spirit stones."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It’s soft and hard, good for offense and defense. It’s a pretty good magical treasure, I think it’s nice..."

Before Lin Chen could finish, Liu Yuan interrupted coldly, "I want this Luoyan Ling too."

Lin Chen turned around, his face full of surprise, "You want it again? Are you serious or just bluffing?"

Liu Yuan raised her head arrogantly, "Of course I’m serious. What, don’t you have enough spirit stones to come to Wanbao Pavilion? Oh, I forgot, you’re a newcomer. You must have made some gains in the Secret Realm this time. I saw you selling Ling Medicine earlier, so I guess you want to buy some battle artifacts for self-defense?"

Lin Chen pretended to be confused, "I was interested in something, then you wanted it. Aren’t you being a bit excessive?"

Liu Yuan sneered, "You didn’t say you were buying, so why can’t I? We all follow the rules. I’m paying with genuine spirit stones, not fake ones. What’s the problem?"

Lin Chen smiled and didn’t care, "No problem indeed."

Lin Chen deliberately pointed to the expensive Yunfeng Shuttle, "This Yunfeng Shuttle is very powerful, much safer than Sword Control Technique, and comes with a spiritual energy protective shield, so you don’t have to worry about messing up your hairstyle. I quite like it. How many spirit stones?"

The shop owner replied with a smile, "200,000 spirit stones, no bargaining."

Lin Chen laughed, "It’s great..."

After a pause, Lin Chen turned to Liu Yuan, "Do you like this one? Do you want to buy it?"

The shop owner turned to Liu Yuan with an encouraging and expectant look, waiting in silence.

Liu Yuan felt embarrassed.

She had come to make trouble for Lin Chen. She saw him preparing to buy battle artifacts and instinctively wanted to stop him, as the more artifacts Lin Chen had, the harder it would be for her to deal with him, so she spoke up first, offering to buy.

Although Liu Yuan came from a well-off background and wasn’t short on spirit stones, she couldn’t afford to spend 200,000 at once.

Liu Yuan sneered, "I’m not buying, don’t you like it? You buy it. I don’t believe you can come up with 200,000 spirit stones!"

Lin Chen laughed and wasn’t annoyed, "I can’t afford it, I was just asking. The shop owner didn’t say I couldn’t look or learn more."

The shop owner still smiled, "Of course, you’re welcome to look and learn."

Liu Yuan mocked, "How many spirit stones do you have in your pocket? Do you think you can afford these magical treasures?"

Lin Chen calmly replied, "Just taking a look. Maybe I’ll have the money later."

Lin Chen casually picked up a high-grade magical artifact, inquired about it, and then asked Liu Yuan if she wanted it. Liu Yuan naturally realized Lin Chen’s intention - if she said she wanted it, he’d probably go through the entire shop’s inventory and then they’d try to fleece her one by one.

Although the prices of these magical artifacts and treasures were relatively reasonable and not outrageous, no one could endure such spending, considering that everyone’s spirit stones weren’t blown in by the wind.

Besides, even if she had the money, after being messed with by Lin Chen, what was the point of buying these items? It wouldn’t give a sense of accomplishment but rather feel like being played with!

Lin Chen picked up several magical artifacts and treasures one after another, asked about them, and then turned to Liu Yuan to ask if she wanted them.

At first, Liu Yuan could maintain her composure, but Lin Chen’s continuous teasing made her feel foolish, as if she were a foolish rich person.

Liu Yuan clenched her teeth and coldly said, "I don’t want any of them!"

As Liu Yuan turned to leave, Lin Chen casually taunted, "Hey, I thought you had a lot of money. Turns out you can’t afford it and just came in here to pretend to be a tycoon. Boss, be sure to remember her face and don’t let her in your shop again. Otherwise, she’ll ruin your normal business."

Liu Yuan’s eyes were filled with rage, "Who said I can’t afford it?"

Lin Chen bluntly replied, "You, who else could it be?"

Liu Yuan sneered, "I can’t afford it? Go and ask around, am I, Liu Yuan, short of spirit stones?"

"Then buy it!"

Lin Chen was firm, "You were trying to show off as a big spender just now, but suddenly you don’t want to buy any? You said that I shouldn’t come in here and pretend to have money if I don’t. The shop owner might not mind customers who look without buying, but he must really hate people like you who pretend to be rich and ruin his normal business..."
