Chapter 18: Shopping with the Princess
Betty has all the figures of Lu Ming in her mind these days, which makes her uncomfortable.
She sat on the chair in the living room and kept looking at Lu Ming's room, waiting for Lu Ming to appear.
With a "squeak", the door opened, and Lu Ming walked out of it.
Betty quickly got up, but she didn't know how to speak, and she couldn't speak with her head down.
Lu Ming opened his mouth and asked, "Is there something wrong?" Princess Betty. ”
"That's... Just call me Betty...", Betty said with a slight flush of cheeks, a term that only those close to her could use.
"Okay, Betty. Is there anything you want to tell me today?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Ming's mouth, after getting along all these days, he felt that this stubborn and arrogant princess was very interesting.
"That's... Host... The owner's clothes are a little old, I want to go and buy some new ones for the owner..."
The word "master" was hard for Betty to say.
These days, she found that Lu Ming only had one clothes, and after so many days of training, the clothes had become wrinkled after being washed many times, so she made such a decision.
Lu Ming looked at Betty amusedly, in fact, he just wanted to go out for a walk, he hadn't visited this place since he came to Hardy City.
"Okay, I'll go with you, but only if you promise me not to call me 'master' again, not in private. ”
Betty was pleasantly surprised, not only because she could go shopping with Lu Ming, but also because she could finally stop worrying about the title of "master".
Betty did not continue to follow Lu Ming, but chose to walk side by side with Lu Ming, which was a kind of overstepping for a slave, and Betty had already forgotten about it at this time.
Lu Ming didn't care about these at all, he was an ordinary hunter in a remote place, there was no class distinction, and he never wanted any subordinates.
The two walked side by side like this, and the passers-by threw strange glances, Betty lowered her head, her cheeks were slightly red, and her posture still carried her innate pride.
Amelia didn't follow, Lu Ming felt strange, he had the impression that Betty's maid never left Betty, didn't he inform her? Lu Ming secretly speculated.
Came to the North District Business District nearby, Lu Ming passed through here before he came, but he didn't watch carefully, and today he finally had this opportunity, Lu Ming was very excited. Compared with boring practice, there are still some new things that arouse his interest more.
Betty had never visited Hardy City, and after coming to the royal capital of the Gru Empire, she went directly to the Gillia Palace to live for three days, and then came to Hardy Academy, at this time she was full of curiosity about the city.
Cultivation is not the whole of this world, or that there are more people in this world who cannot practice.
There are many kinds of shops in the commercial area, but there are very few shops for cultivators, and there are only a few kinds, such as weapon shops, armor shops, potion shops, and auxiliary equipment stores.
Auxiliary equipment includes some magic devices and some equipment with special functions, including space equipment, capture tools, etc.
Speaking of space equipment, it is said to be a product left over from the war of the gods, which caused the entire world to vibrate violently and even shattered the void.
The wanton pouring power of space has mutilated countless living beings, and the gods realized that they had made a big mistake, so they burned the divine fire to fill the broken void, and sealed the scattered space power with supreme divine power, and the sealed space power condensed into purple stones together with divine power, which was called the space stone.
Each Space Stone is sealed with a small space that can be placed into it by means of spiritual power.
Lu Ming didn't go directly to buy clothes, but first went to these stores for cultivators.
First of all, come to the weapon shop, the signboard is printed with a blue crescent mark, indicating that it is an industry of the Blue Moon Chamber of Commerce, one of the three major chambers of commerce.
Inside, there are a variety of weapons with different qualities. There are both black iron and silver grades, and in the center of the display case there are even three gorgeous gold-level long swords.
Lu Ming didn't understand the criteria for judging the quality of weapons, but fortunately, each weapon was marked underneath.
"What equipment do you need to buy?" asked a man in his thirties.
This is the clerk of the weapons shop, and he has been observing them since Lu Ming and the others came in.
Lu Ming's dress made him slightly disappointed, thinking that this was a customer who only looked at it and didn't buy it, because even a poor low-level mercenary wouldn't dress so shabby.
His eyes lit up when he saw Betty behind him, and the sky-blue dress on the girl's body turned out to be made of water spider silk.
The water spider is a kind of medium-level magical beast unique to the Principality of Bosai, the number is scarce, and the silk produced is even more precious, and a piece of clothing made of water spider silk is cheapest and costs thousands of gold coins.
"I'd like to take a look first. Lu Ming said.
"Okay, let me know if you have your eye on any piece of equipment and I'll take it out for you. And we also undertake the business of custom-made equipment here, and we have many excellent casting masters in the Blue Moon Union. ”
The clerk became extremely patient because of Betty's presence.
"Well, I'll think about it. Lu Ming replied lightly.
Betty didn't even glance at the black iron and silver level equipment, and went straight to the gold-level long sword, but after two glances, she showed a lack of interest, so she walked to Lu Ming's side.
Lu Ming had no intention of buying a weapon, but was just curious to see what the weapon shop looked like.
He doesn't need a weapon now, and he has the Black Iron weapon provided by Hardy Academy during training, which is enough for him. Maybe he will choose to come here to choose a weapon during the year-end assessment, because the year-end assessment will go to a Warcraft Forest in the southeast of Hadi City to hunt Warcraft. You'll need a handy weapon.
The two looked at it for a while and then left.
"The two of you walked slowly. The clerk said respectfully, with some disappointment in his tone.
Later, the two went to visit the armor store, the pharmacy store, and the auxiliary equipment store.
The potion was relatively new to Lu Ming. Potions are crafted by alchemists, and the common ones are Strength Potions, Agility Potions, Defense Potions, and Recovery Potions.
It is said that it is made by extracting a certain substance from the blood of Warcraft, and then going through some other materials, constantly adjusting the dosage ratio, matching scheme, dilution concentration and other processes. Can increase a person's strength, speed, defense, and recovery for a short period of time.
There are a variety of auxiliary equipment, including those used for animal hunting, those used for mining, and magical devices for communication.
The price of one of the space stones shocked Lu Ming, that space stone only had a cubic meter of space, but it was directly sold for 10,000 gold coins. Lu Ming subconsciously touched the pendant hanging around his neck, which was the size of thirty cubic meters of space.
Finally came to the clothing store. Unlike the previous stores, it was bustling with customers picking up clothes.
The store is large and has a large space, and there is a wide variety of clothing for the elderly, middle-aged, youth, and children, and it is open to all people.
Betilla landed on Lu Ming and went straight to the second floor, where she knew there were high-end clothes for sale.
The costumes on the second floor are much less than on the first floor, but each one is of good quality, exquisite workmanship, and colorful. Let Lu Ming be dazzled.
Betty happily pulled Lu Ming to shuttle through it, picking up one piece of clothing after another and comparing them with Lu Ming.
This is completely different from her in the past, Lu Ming was surprised by Betty's change, as if she was a completely different person as soon as she came here. He liked Betty like this, the Betty of the previous one felt tense doing everything, not as relaxed as she is now.
Betty's eyes lit up, and she pulled Lu Ming and tried on a lot of clothes, until Lu Ming was impatient.
"Wrap up all the things you just tried. Betty said to the clerk next to her.
The clerk is a beautiful little girl of the cat clan, with two cute white* ears and a fluffy slender cat tail, which amazes Lu Ming.
The orcs in the Solo Desert are within the territory of the Gru Empire, and although they are not under the jurisdiction of the Gru Empire, they recognize the rule of the Gru Empire, and many orcs choose to leave their ancestral home and come to human cities.
Betty's words frightened the little girl of the cat clan, just now I tried dozens of pieces, if I bought them all, I am afraid it would cost thousands of gold coins, she had never encountered such a big business.
"No, it's too much, I can't use it that much. Lu Ming hurriedly said.
"Well, it's hard to get out of here. Betty dissatisfied.
Lu Ming randomly chose two sets of clothes, one light blue and one pure black.
"That's it. ”
Betty looked at the light blue dress, remembered that the one on her body was also blue, and couldn't help but blush slightly and agreed.
Soon the little girl of the cat clan wrapped her clothes and said to the two: "A total of five hundred gold coins." ”
Lu Ming was secretly frightened that the clothes here were so expensive.
Betty reached for the bracelet she was wearing on her left hand, and in an instant, a purple money bag with a pattern appeared in her hand, and she took out a purple gold coin from it.
The little girl of the cat clan was amazed that it was a purple gold coin. The exchange rate of Purple Gold Coin varies, with one Purple Gold Coin equal to one thousand Gold Coins, as the metal used to mint Purple Gold Coins is extremely rare.
If an ordinary person can see the purple gold coin, then he can boast to others for a long time.
Lu Ming didn't shirk, this was said before coming, Betty paid. But he didn't expect it to cost so much, and he couldn't help but feel that the princess's life was really different from ordinary people.
"That's... Do you have space gear?" asked Betty.
It is very inconvenient to hold the two packages, they can be placed in the space equipment, if Lu Ming doesn't have them, she wants to put them here for herself first.
"Oh, I've got space equipment. After Lu Ming finished speaking, he took the clothes in the clerk's hand, and they disappeared in an instant.
Betty's eyes lit up slightly, Lu Ming was really not an ordinary person, how could an ordinary person have space equipment?
"You are not the same today as you were before. ”
On the way back, Lu Ming said this to Betty.
Betty remembered the scene when she was shopping, and her cheeks were slightly red: "I can only stay in the palace and can't go out, this is the first time I have bought something... And there was no Amelia with her today. ”
"I like you like this, why don't you be like this in the future. Lu Ming looked at Betty with a smile.
Betty's face flushed even deeper, he was just saying he liked me, right? How could he be so blunt...
"Yes," Betty replied in a loud voice.
