Elf Girl

Song Ce glanced over upon hearing the voice, realizing it was Lin Feng, and immediately sighed.

“Don’t even mention it. I went to a Xuanhuan Floor a while ago, and some damn scoundrel somehow had my face, and the worst part is he stole a treasure from a sect, making me the scapegoat.”

Song Ce cursed angrily as he spoke, while Lin Feng secretly chuckled.

Although Song Ce suspected Lin Feng was behind it, he couldn't say anything without direct evidence.

He had to swallow this loss, whether he liked it or not.

But what kind of person was Lin Feng? He was a great guy! Seeing Song Ce's deep resentment, he quickly offered comfort: “Brother Song, as the saying goes, ‘suffering a loss is a blessing.’ Don’t look at it as carrying such a huge burden; you should know that the bigger the burden, the more blessings and better luck you’ll have in the future.”

“Besides, out with the old, in with the new. Maybe these new arms and legs will be even better.”

With that, Lin Feng patted Song Ce’s shoulder, a look of schadenfreude on his face.

Seeing Song Ce’s face darken, he quickly said his goodbyes and left.

“Damn it, where are my arms and legs?! Can you hurry up and arrange them?!”

Left alone in the shop, Song Ce's emotions exploded as he yelled at the attendant.

It was a good thing the robot didn’t argue with him. If the shop owner were a real person, Song Ce might have had to limp back again.

This time, Song Ce had saved a large sum of money, spending all thirty thousand gold coins.

This money bought him even more advanced prosthetics.

Not only were they lighter and sturdier, but the legs also had jet devices installed, allowing for short periods of flight.

Last time, he suffered because he couldn't fly. If he could have flown, he would have long since flown over the city wall and escaped.

On the other side, Lin Feng was about to head back to the Elevator when he was attracted by an elf’s stall.

“This life fruit, can it extend human life?”

Lin Feng picked up the milky-white fruit placed in the center and asked.

“Yes, our elf tribe eats one every year.”

The stall owner was a girl with elven features.

It seemed to be her first time selling something here, as her voice was still a bit flustered.

“How long does it extend life?”

“N-no idea… No, wait, each one can extend life by roughly five to ten years.”

“Is that so? What if you’re tricking me?”

Lin Feng said, scanning the fruit with his scanner gun.

[life fruit: A fruit from the Tree of Life, a treasure of the elf tribe. Each Tree of Life only produces five fruits annually. Each fruit consumed can extend life by 10 years.]

“How could I trick you? Our elf tribe never lies! I can swear to Nana!”

“Nana?”

Lin Feng didn’t quite understand the word, but since the scanner gun’s results were out, he didn’t need to keep teasing the elf girl.

“How many do you have? I’ll take them all.”

“You… you… you want all of them?”

The young girl seemed stunned and confirmed with Lin Feng again.

“That’s right, I’ll take them all. How many do you have?”

“Each one costs ten thousand gold coins. I have five… a total of fifty thousand gold coins!”

“H-how much?!”

Lin Feng nearly bit his tongue when he heard the girl quote the price.

How dare your cute little cherry lips utter such a terrifying price!

However, ten thousand gold coins for ten years of life… emm, this deal doesn’t seem like a loss.

Although Lin Feng could gain hundreds of years of life easily after cultivating, the problem was that breaking through the Golden Core Stage was already so difficult for him now. What about future realms?

So, having some external help to extend his lifespan was still very important.

“Forget it, forget it. I’ll take them all.”

Lin Feng waved his hand and took out a small mountain of gold coins from his System Space.

For a moment, golden light flashed, attracting many passersby.

Soon, the elf girl’s stall was crowded with people.

And when a stall was surrounded by so many people, other passersby were naturally curious about what was being sold there.

So, more and more people gathered.

Fortunately, the Trading Floor had guards to manage order, and there was no stampede.

Otherwise, Lin Feng was really worried that the little elf wouldn't be able to handle it.

Besides buyers, some people came because of the elf’s beauty. Some rich individuals even directly offered ten thousand gold coins to keep the elf girl.

However, when he saw the mountain of gold coins covering the stall, he wisely shut up.

Spending fifty thousand gold coins to buy five life-extending fruits meant that Lin Feng's financial resources were definitely more substantial than his.

“Is the quantity correct?”

Lin Feng asked the girl, whose eyes were gleaming with gold.

“Yes, yes! Here, these are the life fruits. You can only eat one a day. Eating more won’t have any effect, remember!”

“Okay.”

After putting the life fruits into his System Space, Lin Feng forcefully pushed through the crowd and left.

Back in the Elevator, he picked up a life fruit and sniffed it. It had a fresh, natural scent.

He took a bite, and milky-white juice flowed out. The taste was slightly sweet.

And there was no pit. Lin Feng finished it in three bites.

His body didn’t change, but his lifespan must have been extended, though he couldn't feel it.

Lin Feng hadn't expected the Trading Floor to last for 24 hours.

After closing the Elevator door, he asked 101 about the progress of purchasing books.

He then realized that everything he needed had been gathered.

Textbooks from junior high to university, all complete.

They were all bought for two gold coins, bundled together.

These items would definitely need to be translated before they could be given to Kuze and the others.

After all, the writing was different.

To be honest, this put Lin Feng in a difficult position. Where would he find so much time to translate? If he were to translate them himself, it might take him a month of sleepless nights to finish.

However, the Three Brothers seemed like they could act as tools. After all, for some reason, they also understood the language of the permanent floors.

After finding Liu Ping in the private chat interface, Lin Feng sent him a message.

After some conversation, Lin Feng learned that they had completed a quest, and the reward was proficiency in the language of the permanent floors.

This made things easier. Lin Feng waved his hand, offering one thousand gold coins to translate all these books into the language of the permanent floors.

The Three Brothers discussed it and agreed.

The time commitment was a bit long, requiring ten days to finish everything. Lin Feng said it was fine, but asked them to send him each book as soon as it was translated.

After sending the gold coins and all the books, Lin Feng only needed to wait.
