Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 574: Chapter 140 Coming from the Sewage (Additional 100 monthly tickets) _1

”Mmm, this smells so good. Chef, I would like two skewers of this, please.”

Just like a curious child, Qin Shiyuan was looking around the spacious marketplace.

The marketplace was quite large. After all, when the Yanjing Assembly Site was being designed, various factors had been taken into account. Therefore, even in the outer city zone, wherever pavements were laid, the streets were quite spacious.

However, even a nearly 50-meter-wide street seemed a bit congested due to a variety of small traders and the crowds coming and going.

”Alright, miss! Fresh mutton, grilled by a master craftsman. I assure you it’s delicious.”

The merchant, in a slightly greasy white robe, seasoned the mutton skewers skillfully while sneakily observing this extraordinary group of people.

It wasn’t surprising that the vendor was intrigued; Arthur’s party was quite eye-catching. The mighty and domineering Knight, even without his heavy armor, possessed an exceptional aura—a transformation brought about by formidable power and confidence. Including Qin Shiyuan, there were six women, dressed in styles ranging from sexy to demure, all in clothes of exceptional value that were definitely striking in this apocalyptic world.

Of course, even more significant was the escort of about a dozen soldiers. Have you ever seen anyone strolling down the street armed with guns? Even the City Guards responsible for the marketplace couldn’t compare.

High-ranking. Powerful. That was the vendor’s first impression. Faced with such a display, the vendor wasn’t bothered that the soldiers accompanying the group drove away all other patrons near his stall.

”Here you are, esteemed guest, please enjoy.”

A skewer of sizzling mutton was handed to Qin Shiyuan.

Before Qin Shiyuan could take a bite, Arthur’s large hand reached out.

”Our agreement?”

Seeing Arthur’s teasing smile, Qin Shiyuan pouted and reluctantly handed the skewer to him.

This world was too dangerous; even eating posed a potential threat to Qin Shiyuan’s life.

Arthur slowly pulled off a piece of meat, placed it in his mouth, and chewed thoughtfully. After a moment, he handed the rest of the skewer back to Qin Shiyuan.

”Level 1 mutant mutton. It’s been refrigerated for a while, but the taste is still pretty good.”

His enhanced taste buds allowed Arthur to easily identify the type of meat and offer his verdict.

The stall owner, a helpless look on his face, laughed awkwardly. ”Sir, please don’t mock me. I can’t exactly sell human meat, can I?”

”BLECH!”

Hearing this, Qin Shiyuan immediately gagged, looking at the skewer in her hand with disgust before turning and walking in another direction.

It wasn’t because of the skewer, but because of the vendor’s words.

Watching the vendor’s bewildered expression, Arthur sighed and shook his head. He casually tossed a Third-level magic crystal to the man and turned to follow Qin Shiyuan.

A single Third-level magic crystal was equivalent to the vendor’s entire day’s earnings.

”This is so pretty!”

”Buy it!”

”This is for Nicole. She’ll look so cute in it.”

”Buy it!”

”This watch is for my brother. He’ll definitely look good in it. Yes, this one is for you.”

”Buy, buy, buy!”

With the substantial financial resources afforded by his formidable strength, Arthur seemed like a spendthrift, indulging Qin Shiyuan’s every whim. Of course, to him, these trinkets cost very little.

Qin Shiyuan, consumed by a fervent desire to shop, acquired countless items from the vendors, thanks to Arthur’s unlimited supply of magic crystals.

Soon, it was nearly noon. ”Let’s get something to eat,” Arthur suggested.

”Okay, where to?” Qin Shiyuan replied without looking up, still fiddling with a small charm in her hand.

”There’s a restaurant over there, the decor looks quite...”

”How much is this?”

Before Arthur could finish, Qin Shiyuan was already engrossed in a new round of bargaining.

Arthur looked up at the sky with a helpless expression.

I guess lunch is out of the question now...

While Qin Shiyuan and the five affluent ladies were cheerfully contributing to the Yanjing Assembly Site’s GDP, Lin Haifeng was in the military headquarters building, reviewing documents and occasionally glancing at his wristwatch.

The time is almost right... Lin Haifeng thought.

”Shadow, where’s Wen Yu?”

Just as Lin Haifeng finished speaking, a voice emanated from an unseen point nearby.

”Inside Treasure Land No. 26.”

”What about Qin Tian?”

”Inside Treasure Land No. 55.”
