“Abyssal Will? What’s that?”

Vincent Wolf had never heard of such a thing before.

“You can understand Abyssal Will as the consciousness of the Spirit of the

Mysterious Realm in the Abyssal Demon Realm.”

“In almost every Devil’s Domain, you can see the projection of the Abyssal Will.

For example, the blood-red Blood Moon above your heads.”

“The Abyssal Demon Realm is the only place in the world with a Mysterious Realm spirit imbued with chaotic and evil consciousness.”

“The Abyssal Demon Realm is five-star rated. Inside, all are Demon Beasts wielding Abyssal Power. The strongest among them have reached the Guardian God Level.’

“However, beings like the Abyssal Will normally exist in seclusion, like the moon. Why would they trouble you?” Vincent Wolf was equally clueless.

“How on earth should I know?”

He’d simply added a new attribute. Could such a trivial matter really attract the attention of a five-star entity?

At this moment, Barry woke up. He bounced to Vincent Wolf’s side, a look of terror on his face.

After comforting Barry, Vincent Wolf stored him away in the Beast Space.

Dragon Town flew back into Vincent Wolf’s pocket.

With no choice, he put on his hoodie, and Dragon Town was forced into the pocket. Fortunately, it was deep. Otherwise, it wouldn’t know where to hide.

Although something had gone awry, he felt nothing strange aside from falling into the illusion.

Moreover, having braved the trip, Vincent Wolf didn’t plan to leave so soon. He wanted to stroll around the marketplace here. He had long coveted these kinds of places.

Inside the Clean Base market, activity was abundant. There were many shops, but even more were standalone vendors.

Most of them had just returned from hunting, with spoils of war big and small on their person.

Feeling dissatisfied with the prices offered by the shops, they’d paid a small fee to the Market Management Department and set up a temporary stall.

As a result, a motley mix of goods was available. Whether it be materials from Demon Beasts, unique fruits from the Devil’s Domain, ragged antiques, or half pieces of treasure maps…

Everything could be found.

Rumors even suggested that some people have found extremely precious treasures at the markets in the Devil’s Domain, enough to keep them worry-free for the rest of their lives.

However, Vincent Wolf believed these rumors were most likely spread by the fake good peddlers themselves.

Visiting the Devil’s Domain and leaving within half an hour would be too boring. He had to stroll around the marketplace.

Picking up or missing a bargain was another matter. He was just there for the feel of it!

Last time in the Water Mysterious Realm, he had to leave quickly because Dragon Town was looking for him.

This time, they were shopping together, which got him even more excited. If Vincent Wolf came alone, he would avoid making purchases. He was aware that his eye for bargains wasn’t good, and he’d most likely end up with counterfeit goods.

In this day and age, fake goods looked even more authentic than the real ones.

But with Dragon Town, it was different. This old dragon was sharp and skilled, given that it spent so much time with his cheapskate dad. It definitely had experience.

Reliable!

“Uncle Cartwright, do you think this could be worth something?”

Vincent Wolf toyed with a small jade gourd, secretly asking Dragon Town.

Looking at the strange patterns and ancient style of this gourd, it clearly stood out among the mass-produced counterfeit goods.

The kindly-faced vendor explained that his Beast Tamer team braved a near wipeout to retrieve the gourd after a battle between two Monarch-level pet beasts.

His team had been nearly wiped out, and he was the only one uninjured and able to set up a stall.

“Fake,” asserted Dragon Town after a quick glance. “It clearly says that it’s fake, and you’re a fool if you buy it.”

“What? Really? I thought this looked quite genuine.”

“Even the jade itself is fake. It’s produced using the skills of a pet beast called the Mist Stone. Then there are the other cheap tricks.”

“Really? So, they could actually make a good amount of money just selling fake jade produced from stone,” Vincent’s eyes lit up.

“The problem is, a week after transformation, it will turn back into ordinary stone. If it were a permanent transformation, they wouldn’t bother cheating people here. The price of jade wouldn’t be so high either.”

“…So deceptive?” Vincent was furious. “Why waste time and effort setting up a stall to cheat people, instead of directly scamming the shops?”

“Naturally, the shops have their methods of determining authenticity. If he tried to defraud a shop, he’d have his legs broken. He only sets up here to cheat those who don’t understand how things work. And by that, I mean you.”

Vincent was shocked into silence, unable to voice a response. All he felt was gratitude for having Dragon Town by his side – without him, he would have been duped.

Naturally, since it’s not a treasure, he lost interest. Just as he was about to put it down and go elsewhere, he was unexpectedly stopped by a man around forty, with a hooked nose and bright eyes.

“Young man, hello,” the middle-aged man spoke politely.

“Hello, is there something I can help you with?” Vincent Wolf’s mind was racing. This man was the same age as his uncle, yet he called him ‘young man’. Didn’t that make him feel old?

“Well, I have an awkward request. Could I have a look at that jade gourd in your hand?” The middle-aged man’s sparkling eyes remained fixated on the “jade” gourd.

“No problem. I haven’t paid for it yet. You can have a look,” Vincent Wolf was somewhat confused. Wasn’t this just fake goods? Why did this seemingly shrewd middle-aged man seem so interested?

“Thank you!” The middle-aged man looked grateful as he took the “jade” gourd. As soon as he held it, the “jade” gourd emitted a faint green light. The light was dim and only visible to Vincent Wolf and the middle-aged man, who quickly covered it. His face revealed a look of ecstasy.

The middle-aged man rushed to tell the stall owner, “Grandpa, how much for this gourd? I’ll take it!”

The old man hesitated, “Young man, this gourd was eyed by another person first. We have to respect a first-come, first-served basis, don’t we?”

The middle-aged man ignored Vincent and spoke directly to the vendor,

“Grandpa, I’ll offer double the price he pays. No, triple!”

The vendor visibly struggled to respond and said to Vincent,

“Umm..you see, he’s already offered so much. I really need the money because my teammates need medical expenses. If both of you offered the same price, I would definitely sell it to you. But if you don’t offer more, I’ll have to sell it to him.”

Vincent was getting anxious. He was out to find bargains, not to let others take advantage of ones he found!

Just as he was about to make an offer and beat the young man to it, he heard Dragon Town’s voice.

“Are you really stupid or just pretending to be? It’s clear that they are setting up to cheat a newbie like you!”
