Chapter 54: Transportation Orbs
Miles left the cave with the giant bag filled with honey and a brand new orb he took from Porseila. Even though she wanted him to escort her to the stronghold, Miles refused it and walked in another direction to take a longer route. The small walk inside the cave was enough to drive Miles mad. He couldnt stand her any longer.
Miles arrived at the stronghold and caught many peoples eyes. He was already a minor celebrity, and now that he was carrying a giant bag filled with honey, people started to gather around him.
Hey, isnt that the Marooner? Someone in the crowd asked.
Hogwash! Of course he is the Marooner. Cant you see his armor? What is that honey though? A girl asked, then shouted to Miles.
Hey, Marooner. Is that the Lonely Caves honey?
Yes. I just collected 50 liters. Miles said. He was in a good mood.
Do you, by any chance, sell it? The girl asked again.
Sure. I will sell it. Miles thought about it and decided to sell.
He and Porseila were the only two people who knew the cave was now empty. So, he could go back and collect more if he wanted to.
I will buy all of them, name your price! A voice came from behind the crowd. It will be a great gift to my grandfather!
Miles looked at the person and sighed. Not again.
It was Tian Ling, walking towards him with his goons.
Miles turned to the lady and said, First come first served. How much do you want?
When Tian Ling heard what Miles said, his face turned sour. But he instead looked at the girl.
What is the price? The girl asked timidly. She looked like she wanted to hear the price first before she could reject it because of Tian Ling. She didnt want to cross the self-centered bastard.
Miles approached the guy, and asked, I heard you have an automobile orb.
Welcome, customer! The guy looked at Miles with a giant smile and said, I certainly do sell an automobile orb, but it is not cheap.
How much is it? Miles asked.
A hundred millions UD. The guy said and took out an ivory orb. It is a high-tier Albino Elephant Orb. Has a rare speed element, and can go up to 400 km/h. Its defense is adequate, and can take hits from high-tier monsters. Because it is not a Psychic element, you have to drive manually, or you can let your AI drive it. There is a special bumper that can crush the obstacles in your way.
Miles read a lot about transportation type orbs, but he never drove one. When he was still living with his family, he once saw one, but it wasn't a car. It was a battle type, close to tanks. That is why he always wanted one of his own. But a hundred millions UD was too expensive, he didnt have that much money.
Too expensive. Miles shook his head and said. I cant afford it at the moment.
Oh, that is too sad, Mr. Customer! the guy said with the same smile that made Miles shiver. His eyes were like snakes.
Do you accept trade? Miles asked and fished out his newly earned orb.
Even though he didnt know what it was yet since Porseila was carrying it with her, it must be something valuable.
Sure, what do you have? asked the vendor.
Miles charged the orb with the help of Coin.
The orb melted in Miless hand and formed a staff. But then, at the top of it, there was a hair net.
A fishing net?" The vendor, stupefied by this trade joke, could not believe what the customer offered before him.
Miles could also not believe the item in his hand and just held the anger back in his throat.
"Damn you Porseila!
