Very soon!
Under Fu Jieyan's lead, Zhao Xuan passed through a gate of light and arrived in the Dreamspace Free Trade Market.
Inside the market, there were hundreds of unattended stalls.
Each stall didn't display any physical goods—only placards.
On each placard was written the description and quantity of the items being sold by the stall owner.
If someone took interest in an item, they could directly touch the stall with their spiritual power.
If the stall owner happened to be online in Dreamspace at that moment, they would receive a system notification and rush over immediately.
If the stall owner wasn't currently in Dreamspace, the Bureau 794 Medal they carried would alert them, allowing them to log in and respond right away.
After understanding the rules of the Free Trade Market, Zhao Xuan eagerly applied for a stall of his own.
Then—
He hung up the half piece of spirit cactus that had been trampled by the wild boar.
Type: Spirit Cactus
Quantity: Half (approx. 2 jin) — 1.5 jin of pulp, 0.5 jin of skin.
Effect: Personally tested. The pulp slightly enhances the physique of low-tier ability users; effects on mid-tier users are unknown. The skin and needles, however, promote the awakening and growth of Armament Haki!
Zhao Xuan had barely hung up his placard when—
Fu Jieyan immediately panicked.
He suddenly snatched down Zhao Xuan's placard, threw an arm around his shoulder, and said with burning enthusiasm, "Heh heh, Brother Zhao~"
"What's wrong, Brother Fu?" Zhao Xuan asked thoughtfully.
"Is what you wrote true?"
Fu Jieyan's eyes gleamed as he hurriedly added, "That this spirit herb can promote the awakening and growth of Armament Haki?"
"It's true," Zhao Xuan nodded. "I just tested it myself."
"Ten million!"
Fu Jieyan suddenly blurted out.
"What?" Zhao Xuan froze for a moment.
"Brother Zhao, I'll buy that half cactus from you. I'm willing to pay ten million. Shipping by Menmen Express not included!" Fu Jieyan said excitedly.
"Ten million?"
Zhao Xuan's eyes flickered.
He had already expected that any herb capable of aiding Armament Haki awakening would be extremely valuable—even if it was a low-grade spirit herb.
But still—
In his estimation, even a whole one selling for five million would already be sky-high.
Yet Fu Jieyan was offering ten million for just half.
Seeing Zhao Xuan hesitate, Fu Jieyan quickly added, "Brother Zhao, that price is already very high. Currently, half a jin of this type of spirit herb goes for about nine million, mostly because of the upcoming provincial and national exams. Normally, half a jin would only fetch around eight million!"
After he finished speaking, Fu Jieyan stared at Zhao Xuan with hopeful sincerity.
"Alright then, ten million it is," Zhao Xuan nodded.
"Great! What's your bank account number? I'll transfer it right now!"
Afraid Zhao Xuan might change his mind, Fu Jieyan hurriedly urged.
"Shenzhou Bank. Number: XXXXXXXXX." Zhao Xuan recited his card number.
"Perfect, Brother Zhao! I'll transfer it as soon as I log out. Also, could you give me your address? I'll have Menmen Express send someone over to pick it up right away!"
"No problem."
Zhao Xuan then gave him his address.
After a bit of casual chatting, Fu Jieyan logged off in a rush.
Zhao Xuan strolled casually through the Free Trade Market for a while before logging off as well.
It wasn't that there weren't any good items in the market—
It was that there were too many!
Far, far too many!
But most were high-grade spirit herbs.
Zhao Xuan couldn't afford them, nor could he make use of them.
As soon as he exited Dreamspace, his phone buzzed with a new message.
It was a notification from the bank—
Ten million credited.
"That fatty sure moves fast," Zhao Xuan chuckled, settling into meditation while waiting for Menmen Express's courier to arrive.
About three minutes later—
A knock sounded at the door.
The Menmen Express courier had arrived.
After handing over the half cactus, Zhao Xuan watched as the courier casually opened a door in the air and vanished into the stairwell in an instant.
"Door-Door Fruit users really are convenient," Zhao Xuan couldn't help sighing. "Whoever came up with Menmen Express is a genius—turning Door-Door Fruit ability users into deliverymen!"
