Chapter 3, Entering the City
"Haihua, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Lisa, dressed in her pajamas and wearing a coat over it, held a candle in her hand. She approached Haihua and touched her forehead, asking, "Are you feeling unwell?" (Her tone and actions completely suggested that she considered herself to be Haihua's older sister.)
Upon hearing this, the person sitting immediately jumped up and ran over, exclaiming, "Really?" with a tone full of astonishment
I bought it for 200,000! The boss, seeing Huang Haihua take the crystal back, urgently said: "300,000!" The man in black also hurriedly said: "400,000!" The man in white, even more anxious, took out a thin object resembling our electronic counter from his pocket, saying, "Here, let me give you the money!"
What is this?" he asked, pointing at the thin sheet.
It's nothing, my sister. Just now, a person in black who can walk through walls came to find me. I was about to teach him a lesson when he ran away, how infuriating!
Oh, you mean the dark sorcerer
"1,000,000! I just asked someone at the bank, and he said this is the lowest price on the market," said Huang Haihua
At this moment, Haihua could move. Just as he was about to shout, he saw the shadow turn around, and only then did he realize it was a person in a black robe. Upon seeing it was a person, Haihua felt less afraid. Suddenly, he remembered that this person had come through the wall, and he was overjoyed. "Hey, big brother, could you teach me that wall-passing technique? Please, just teach me!"
Hehe, I made 1 million in just one day, oh, and there's still 999,800 left. Nonsense! A roasted chicken costs 200, that's too expensive! Ha, it's nothing remarkable; making money in this world is too easy. Who says earning money is hard? Look, I made 1 million in a day, haha, that means in a month, I would have a lot, feeling great! Once I have enough money, I'll learn a few magic tricks for self-defense, then go treasure hunting and look for ancient relics. At that time, I can enjoy delicious food and drink, and also seize the opportunity to get a dragon to ride. How impressive that would be! Just thinking about such a fairy-tale life makes me ecstatic, hehe, I love the magical world!" Haihua held the crystal card in his hand and rolled around on the bed with the books.

(He seems to love talking to himself too much.)
"Dark sorcerer? I still feel that something is not quite right." Gradually fell asleep while lost in thought
Boss! Business is here! Before the person even entered, the sound had already arrived, so loud that everyone in the store turned to look at him. "Hehe, sorry to disturb you all, I'm here to sell something, hehe!" Huang Haihua, seeing everyone staring at him in a daze, smiled apologetically.
"Is there any left, little brother?" The man in white urgently asked as he grabbed Huang Haihua's shoulder. "I've searched the surrounding area for a mile and this is the only piece left." He pretended to look regretful.
The boss just inserted it into the measuring instrument, and the person standing there exclaimed first, "First-class fire energy crystal!"
Thank you! Huang Haihua took the gold coin and ran away in a flash
In a short while, Huang Haihua ran back holding a water chip in his hand
Haha, sister, you are 2 years older than me, so I will call you sister, Lisa. Can I have a room? Where is the bathroom? My head itches!" He didn't wait for Lisa to respond and walked into the store while scratching his head. (This kid behaves like a little rascal and completely ignores others' reactions as if this were his own home.) Lisa looked at Haihua, who was holding onto a customer and asking where the bathroom was, and helplessly shook her head, walking to the counter to help Haihua check in. (This kid behaves like a little rascal and completely ignores others' reactions as if this were his own home.) Lisa looked at Haihua, who was holding onto a customer and asking where the bathroom was, and helplessly shook her head, walking to the counter to help Haihua check in.
My name is Haihua, I am 16 years old, how about you?" After saying this, he looked at her
Hehe, this is a bank crystal card. It is used for all transactions involving spending and receiving money. This type of water chip inherently possesses memory capabilities and does not react to magic, ensuring that it will never make mistakes. Moreover, it is universally accepted worldwide and can automatically convert currencies. Don't you have one? Then you should go get one; it recognizes the first person who touches it as its owner, so you must apply for it yourself. The man in white firmly believed that Huang Haihua was a country bumpkin, so he explained it very clearly.
"Alright! Be good! Go to sleep quickly." Lisa pushed Haihua onto the bed and helped him tuck in the blanket, blew out the candle, and closed the door as she left
The shadow extended its hand, opening its palm towards Haihua, while simultaneously emitting a halo from its palm that flew to the top of Haihua's head
"I saw a ghost!" Haihua exclaimed in fright, jumping up. In the dim light, it felt particularly eerie, and cold sweat broke out as he truly believed he had seen a ghost. "Oh my! I have no flesh on me, please don't come play with me!"
"What! Who are you calling useless? Don't think you're impressive just because you can walk through walls! I still think highly of myself." The last sentence was said much more quietly, "You, the guy in the black clothes, get out here, you son of a bitch! Just watch me turn you into a pig's head!" Haihua was kicking and shouting in front of the wall
As night fell, Haihua was already standing at the entrance of the inn, calling out, "Checking in!" as usual, with his voice arriving before his presence. Upon entering, he heard a sweet "Welcome!" Looking closely, he exclaimed, "Wow, a beauty!" Before him stood a tall, golden-haired beauty with shoulder-length curls, a graceful figure, and a lovely face complemented by her fair skin. Dressed in a black dress with white trim, she stood under the dim light, truly enchanting.
The man in white said with a hint of regret and annoyance: "I know, I didn't mean to take advantage of you; I don't have that much money in my account." The man in black seized the opportunity and said: "Muss! How about we partner up and each buy 500,000, using 5,000 degrees each?" Seeing that the man in white was considering it, he nudged him and shot a glance at the boss. "Alright, let's do it!" The man in white thought that buying from the boss might cost 1,500,000 or more, and immediately agreed.
Alright, bring it to me for measurement. The boss spoke and took out a round object, which Huang Haihua guessed was an energy measuring device
"I see a ghost, I see a ghost, I see a ghost!" Haihua was half-reclining on the bed, with her left hand resting behind her head as a pillow, and her right hand holding a crystal card, fanning herself. The right foot, which was propped up on her left leg, swayed in rhythm with the lyrics "I see a ghost, I see a ghost, I..." At that moment, a black shadow suddenly passed through the wall opposite the bed and approached Haihua's bedside.
Huang Haihua touched the box containing the energy crystals in his arms, saying, "I need to exchange some money first; otherwise, with nightfall approaching, where will I find a place to spend the night and fill my stomach?"
Yes, the first-class fire energy crystal is at ten thousand degrees! The boss glanced at the numbers on the measuring instrument and tried to speak in a calm tone.
Wow, it is indeed lively; the magic circle is just like a bus, and it's free as well. Huang Haihua followed the crowd and entered the city of Yana
The boss replied, "What are you buying?"
In a space of 30 square meters, a long glass display case divides the area in half. Against the wall, there are two long benches. Behind the glass case stands a plump man in his thirties or forties, clearly the owner. The wall behind him is adorned with various types of wizard robes and staffs. Inside the glass case, various props such as bracelets and necklaces are neatly arranged in layers and categories, while an assortment of energy crystals in different colors occupies the center. In addition to the owner, there are two other individuals: one stands in front of the glass case wearing a white wizard robe, and the other sits on a chair dressed in a black wizard robe.
Huang Haihua stepped forward and handed over the red energy crystal that he had been holding in his hand. He would never expose all three of them for others to know; one must always be cautious of others.
"Just like on television, the stone walls are very sturdy." Huang Haihua wanted to touch the city wall but dismissed the thought upon seeing the guard and entered the city with the crowd
Dozens of lights flickered on and off around me, and many people emerged from the lights, leaving the magic circle and walking along the city wall
Huang Haihua inquired about the location of the bank, declined others' company, and intended to rush over quickly. "Wait!" said the man in white, pulling out a gold coin and tossing it to him. "A crystal card requires one gold coin."
However ... ...
Thus, he spent his first day in this world and with books
600,000!" Before he could stop, the boss exclaimed. The man in white and the man in black both looked at the boss. "You can buy from me!" the boss said with a sly grin
"Dark Sorcerer?" Haihua asked in confusion
They have strong men wearing armor and wielding swords, individuals dressed in robes that cover them from head to toe while holding sticks, but most are dressed similarly to Gu Na.
"Unfortunately, she is not as beautiful as my mother." Haihua did not mind being interrupted and continued speaking. The maid was taken aback, not expecting Haihua to conclude with such words.
Hahaha ... ... The boss and the person standing there also laughed
Hello, beautiful! What is your name? How old are you this year? Are you married yet? The maid, perhaps having encountered many such people, did not respond but instead interrupted the conversation, displaying a professional smile and saying, "Welcome!"
Oh, have we arrived? That was quick! With the disappearance of the light, Huang Haihua appeared, and he found himself in a gigantic magic circle with a diameter of over 50 meters, with a long wall towering 10 meters high behind him
Huang Haihua, no! It should be called "Haihua Huang," as that is the name on his card. Haihua knows that names here are arranged in the Western order, which he used when applying at the bank. On the street, Haihua looked at the numbers displayed on the crystal card and was extremely delighted, "Wow! I suddenly have 1 million! My mom isn't as impressive as I am! Here I come for roasted chicken! Haha!" Ignoring the passersby on the street, he ran towards the roasted chicken shop, feeling hungry!
Taking a bath was truly refreshing; it felt as if I had lost a few pounds. That bathhouse is quite large, truly befitting a grand hotel. Haihua reclined half-sitting on the bed, limbs sprawled out, his hands touching the new clothes he had somehow acquired. "They fit quite well; I wonder where Sister Lisa found them?" He looked around, expressing his dissatisfaction, "The only downside is that the room is too big! How annoying to have such a large space all to myself; what if a ghost comes to play with me at night?" He repeated, "They fit quite well; I wonder where Sister Lisa found them?" Looking around again, he complained, "The only downside is that the room is too big! How annoying to have such a large space all to myself; what if a ghost comes to play with me at night? Damn it!" (This guy got a presidential suite and a study, and even managed to get a new set of clothes to wear, yet he still dares to make so many demands; truly! Lisa must have been enchanted; this kid is the best at charming people!)
Walking along the street, with his eyes scanning the shop signs on both sides, he saw "Bakery, Clothing Store, Weapon Shop, Magic Supplies Store, Roast Chicken Magic Supplies Store!" Huang Haihua stopped, exclaiming, "Haha! Here I come for the roast chicken!" and rushed inside
Good deal! Huang Haihua watched as they transferred the money into his account, and then he handed over the crystal to them
The person did not respond and continued walking to the corner of the wall. As their foot stepped into the wall, they replied, "Waste with zero energy!" and then the entire person entered the wall
Huang Haihua was taken aback when he first heard the price, wondering how it could differ so much from the 100,000 that Gu Na had mentioned. However, after a moment of reflection, he felt at ease, realizing that was a price from several decades ago. Just as he was about to agree, he was captivated by the items presented by the man in white.
Haihua seemed to be frozen in place, not moving or making a sound, with only his eyes wide open, watching the light circle sweep from the top of his head to his feet and then back up again. He then watched as the light circle returned to the shadowy hand and disappeared.
Haha! What kind of crystals can you dig up! At most, they are energy crystals of the ninth rank!" The person sitting with one hand stretched out on the back of the chair, clearly crossing their legs as seen from the high bulge of their lower robe, mocked.
The maid, upon seeing Haihua's gaze, involuntarily spoke, "My name is Lisa, I am 18 this year..." Only after finishing did she realize, for some reason, her face suddenly turned red and she hurriedly lowered her head
Hehe, I don't know what level it is, I have no experience. Huang Haihua secretly cursed, "Dog shit! Laugh, laugh, laugh! Mine is first class."
Hehe, I am from Watou Village. While working, I dug up a piece of crystal from the mud. I guess it is a magical energy crystal, so I want to exchange it for some money to spend, hehe! (This guy is using his trick that deceives people without any consequences.) In fact, he doesn't need to act so humble, but he finds it more amusing this way.
Indeed, they harbor no ill intentions; they are merely seeking a worthy opponent.
