Gong Shaoyan circled inside the store as if he owned the place, inspecting the products with clear disdain.
He stopped in front of a cup of Chicken-Flavored Instant Noodles and grabbed one.
Hao observed with interest. 'Here we go.'
"One crystal for this?" Gong Shaoyan scoffed, holding up the instant noodles.
"Are you joking? A single spirit crystal for… whatever this is?"
"Yes. That's the price." Hao muttered.
'Bro, you're dressed like you own half the city, and you're gonna complain over a single crystal?'
'What happened? Your daddy cut your allowance?'
Gong Shaoyan clicked his tongue. "This costs the same as a gourmet meal in our pavilion?"
"Absurd! I don't even feel a shred of qi from it. Is this store trying to rob me in broad daylight?"
Instead of being annoyed, Hao felt his heartbeat quicken with excitement.
Finally! An arrogant young master! I was starting to think I chose the wrong world!
This was it.
The moment he had been waiting for.
