"This carriage is nice, how much does it cost?" Lin Fei glanced at the dozens of carriages on the scene, pointed at a black carriage and asked the short, fat car dealership owner with a bright smile and a lot of talk.
When the owner of the car dealership saw Lin Fei selecting the carriage, he immediately said, "Guest, you have such good taste! The carriage you like is the one with the best workmanship among the dozen or so carriages I have.
The craftsman from Tapashi City whom I hired at the beginning made this carriage, but it took a lot of effort on my part. Not only did I spend money, but I also gave him many gifts before I got him to do it..."
"Stop, stop, just tell me how much this carriage will cost!" Lin Fei was speechless to the pudgy car dealership owner, and directly interrupted him to continue boasting about the carriage and asked him to get to the point quickly.
.
After all, Wu Yin is still waiting for him outside! If he delays for a long time, the caravan outside will set off and he hasn't got the carriage yet, which will delay things.
"Ahem..." The interrupted car dealership owner coughed slightly to cover up his embarrassment, and then said to Lin Fei, "10 gold coins."
Ten gold coins? This price is very cheap... Lin Fei muttered in his heart after hearing the price quoted by the car dealership owner.
However, he could guess from the flashing eyes of the car dealership owner that the price quoted by the other party might be a bit high.
"Five gold coins." Although Lin Fei was not short of the money, he was not willing to let the other party regard him as a fool who could be slaughtered at will, so he directly cut the price of five gold coins.
"Oh, my guest, how can I bargain like you? You cut the price in half for me in one go.
This carriage is made of fine ironwood, and the overall body is extremely strong.
If you encounter a robber, ordinary bows and arrows cannot penetrate its body. Even if you encounter a strange beast, you can still block it a few times.
Guest, eight gold coins, this is the lowest price I can accept." Seeing Lin Fei cutting off the price of five gold coins at once, the owner of the car dealership almost jumped in panic.
"Seven gold coins, this is the highest price I can give. If it's possible, I'll take it. If not, forget it. I'll look elsewhere."
Lin Fei said this and was about to leave, but the owner of the car dealership was so anxious that he stepped forward to stop him and said with a smile on his face.
"Guest, just seven coins. After all, this is the first business in the morning. In order to ensure smooth business throughout the day, I won't sell you for any money."
What you said is really nice. I am a fool if I believe you. You must have made some money from the price of these seven gold coins. I just don’t know how much you made... Lin Fei muttered in his heart and didn’t say anything more.
.
Later, Lin Fei took out seven gold coins from his pocket and handed them to the car dealership owner. The owner of the car dealership who received the gold coins couldn't close his mouth with laughter.
Seeing the other party smiling so happily, Lin Fei knew that the other party must have made a lot of money, but he didn't care about it, and then urged the owner of the car dealership, "Boss, please hurry up and get me a good horse, I have to hurry up."
!”
"Okay, please wait a moment, I will match the horse for you right now." The owner of the carriage shop put seven gold coins in his pocket, and then quickly went to the stable to match the horse for the carriage Lin Fei bought.
After a while, the pudgy owner of the car dealership led a brown horse with a single horn on its forehead and walked over from the stable in the distance.
Although this brown unicorn horse looks very good, the horse looks very sick, and you can tell at a glance that it is a horse that has suffered a serious illness.
"Boss, the horse you picked for me to pull the carriage looks like this. It seems that its health is not very good!"
"Guests, this is the case with horses sent to you! If you want a better horse, you have to spend additional money to buy it."
The things delivered are generally not good! Even in the spirit world, this principle is true... Lin Fei muttered in his heart, and then stopped arguing with the pudgy car dealership owner about the horse's physical condition.
"Huh...huh..."
The pudgy car dealership owner tied the carriage Lin Fei bought to the brown unicorn horse that was in poor health and led it for a few steps.
Then, Lin Fei, who was standing aside, heard the brown unicorn horse, which was in poor health, panting intensified, as if it was about to be unable to bear it any longer and would lie down to rest in the next second.
"Okay, boss, let me do it!" Lin Fei couldn't stand it anymore and said to the owner of the car dealership. Then he came to the brown unicorn and put his hand on the other's head.
The owner of the car dealer, who was very thick-skinned, felt a little embarrassed by the poor performance of the brown horse. He did not expect that the physical condition of the horse he randomly selected was worse than he imagined.
Oops.
However, if he was asked to replace the brown unicorn horse with a better horse for Lin Fei, he would never agree.
The listless brown unicorn looked at the human in front of him and put his hand on his head. The next second, he felt his body being washed by a warm current.
"咴咴..." The brown unicorn, which was treated by Lin Fei using the light of life ability, let out a comfortable hum.
Feeling that the treatment was almost done, Lin Fei canceled his light of life ability. Then when he looked at the brown unicorn in front of him, he found that the other person was no longer sick, but was full of energy and making happy sounds.
cry.
"Uh-huh..." To the human being in front of him who helped him regain his energy, the brown unicorn immediately poked his head over and rubbed Lin Fei's chest, expressing his gratitude affectionately.
"This..." The short and fat car dealership owner on the side was stunned. He didn't expect that the customer in front of him had such a method.
Lin Fei ignored the owner of the car dealership who was looking at him in shock. He took the reins and left the car dealership with the brown unicorn horse.
Seeing the customer holding the horse and leaving with the carriage, the owner of the carriage shop's first reaction was to stop the customer and ask him to help him treat the unicorn horses in the stable that were also suffering from illness.
However, he swallowed his words again, because the owner of the car dealership knew it in his heart.
If he really asked this customer to help him treat himself, it would be impossible without spending money. If he wanted this stingy person to spend money to treat those unicorns, it would be more unacceptable to him than beating him up.

At the caravan gathering point, Wu Yin looked at the car dealership where Lin Fei entered, waiting for him to come out.
Liu Dao, who was standing aside, would say something from time to time, while Wu Yin responded wordlessly, obviously not very interested in chatting.
"Everyone is ready. We will set off in five minutes. Those who want to take a ride to Tap Seac City should pay the money and get on the bus as soon as possible." A steward of the caravan said loudly to everyone present.
"Miss Wu, the caravan will set off in a few minutes. Mr. Lin has been in the car dealership for so long and still hasn't come out. Why don't we go over and take a look!" Liu Dao turned to Wu Yin and said.
As soon as Liu Dao finished speaking, he heard Wu Yin say, "He's out."
When Liu Dao heard this, he immediately looked towards the carriage shop and saw Lin Fei leading a brown unicorn horse out of the carriage shop. Behind them was a finely crafted carriage.
"You've been waiting for a long time, get in the car!" Lin Fei led the carriage to Wu Yin and said to her.
"Yes." Wu Yin nodded, jumped slightly, landed on the carriage as light as a feather, and then got into the carriage.
Liu Dao saw Wu Yin getting into the carriage and the beauty's figure had disappeared. It was inappropriate for him to stay here any longer. He then said "See you later" to Lin Fei and left.
Lin Fei also boarded the carriage after Liu Dao left and got into the carriage.
The space in the carriage is quite large. There is a low bed near the end that can accommodate one person, and there is a small wooden table on the left side. Overall, there is no problem in seating more than ten people.
At this time, Wu Yin had already taken off the bamboo hat on her head, and her gorgeous face was full of curiosity as she looked at some of the decorations in the carriage.
These decorations are all handmade, and the patterns are full of exotic style.
Lin Fei thought for a while, and took out many things from the dimensional space and put them on the table, including fruits, snacks, and comic books.
Wu Yin, who was looking at the decorations in the car, saw Lin Fei taking out so many things and putting them on the table. Her eyes were instantly attracted to them, and her eyes focused on the comic books.
"Why do you read comics too?" Lin Fei took off his hat and hung it on a hook in the carriage. He noticed Wu Yin's eyes falling on the comic books and asked with a smile.
"I know how to read it! I loved reading comics when I was in school, but then I stopped reading comics due to work reasons."
Wu Yin recalled that when she was in school, there were many comic books at home. Later, when she took over the position of president of the Purple Orchid Organization, she never read comics again because she didn't want her subordinates to see it because she thought it would be harmful.
Damage the dignity of the president.
"I didn't expect you to carry comics with you. Now it's better. You won't be bored on the road." Wu Yin said to Lin Fei with a smile, and then reached out to pick up a comic book on the table and read through it.
Lin Fei smiled, and then took out some of his collection of comics from the dimensional space and placed them on the table. Then he also picked up one and read it.
Later, when the steward of the caravan announced the departure, Lin Fei picked up the bamboo hat hanging on the wall of the carriage and put it on his head.
After getting out of the carriage, he patted the unicorn on the head and said to it with his mental power, "Follow the convoy in front and don't fall behind."
After saying that, a carrot appeared in Lin Fei's hand, and he stuffed the carrot into the mouth of the brown unicorn horse.
"Click, click..."
It was the first time for the brown unicorn to eat something like a carrot. It chewed a few mouthfuls and found that the taste was very to its liking. It screamed happily a few times, then reached over its big head and rubbed its new owner's hand.
.
"Okay, don't mess around, remember what I say, follow the convoy in front, don't fall behind, let's go!" Lin Fei once again used his mental power to say to the brown unicorn horse, then patted its head and boarded the
carriage.
“咴咴……”
The brown unicorn horse looked back and saw its new owner boarding the carriage. It barked a few times and then started to follow the convoy that had set off in front of it.
Lin Fei saw the brown unicorn fulfilling his orders seriously, nodded slightly, and then got back into the carriage to read comics.

Mutuo Town is more than 100 kilometers away from Tapashi City. If this distance were placed on Blue Star, it would only take a few hours to drive there.
But within the Kedolan Empire, it would take a caravan a day and a night to cover the distance of more than 100 kilometers.
Because of the distance of more than 100 kilometers, the road is very difficult to travel, and the traveling speed cannot be increased at all.
Moreover, you may encounter attacks by strange beasts along the way, so if you want to safely complete this more than 100 kilometers of road, you must be cautious and move forward slowly.
The caravan, consisting of more than a hundred people and dozens of carriages, drove slowly on the rugged path.
At the end of this caravan, more than twenty meters apart, there were also many separate carriages following.
Most of these carriages are rough in workmanship, but one is exquisite in workmanship and looks very brand new.
This latest carriage is the carriage Lin Fei and Wu Yin ride on.
Those crudely made carriages, like Lin Fei, did not choose to join the huge caravan ahead.
These carriages carried a lot of goods, and they followed the caravan in order to reach Tap Seac City safely.
For a small businessman driving a carriage alone and carrying goods like this, following the end of the caravan, the risk is still quite high.
Because if a strange beast appears, their carriage following the caravan will easily be the first to be attacked.
However, these small businessmen have no other choice, because if they want the caravan to allocate part of its strength to provide protection to them, they have to pay some money.
The amount of money paid was too expensive for these small businessmen, equivalent to one-quarter to one-fifth of the value of the goods on their vehicles, which they were reluctant to pay.
Of course, if they are really unlucky and are attacked by alien beasts, they can call the guards of the caravan ahead to come to help on the spot and pay the protection fee afterwards. If they do not encounter alien beasts, then they can save the money.
They do this to save money. Although there is a high probability that they can save this protection fee, if a strange beast really appears, they will call the bodyguards of the caravan ahead to help on the spot. If the other party does not arrive in time, they may also lose themselves.
Even if you lose your life, there is still a possibility.
I want to save money, but I also want to be safe and sound. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
Money or life safety, you can only choose one or the other. It is obvious that small businessmen like this choose to save money.
So every time they followed the caravan to Tap Sic City, they would secretly pray to heaven to reach Tap Sic City safely.
The weather today is very good, the sun is shining brightly, and there are no clouds in the sky. Occasionally, unknown birds fly across the sky, leaving behind a crisp chirping sound.
It has been more than an hour since it set off from Mutuo Town. Because the road was not easy to travel, the entire caravan traveled less than ten kilometers.
