The Universal Genius - Chapter 56

“Y-y-you have to date me! S-stupid Shie~”

To which caused Ye Shie to giggled and replied “Alright!” Showing his pearly white teeth.

—

Ye Shie who agreed to Xiao Rou’s request became perplexed!

‘Doesn’t a date requires money?!…I-‘ feeling his empty pockets Ye Shie sighed in dismay.

Xia Rou who was beaming with happiness while holding Ye Shie’s other arm felt his dismay, and asked “Shie? what’s wrong?”

Ye Shie turned around to face her, scratching the back of his head he said “Haha~ nothing-nothing~ Let’s Go!”

They were still in the Hall of the Formations Guild, when Ye Shie suddenly obtained an Idea!

‘Wait! Didn’t they have a shop here! Maybe I could sell my service for a bit!’

In the Formation Masters Guild or any guilds, There were shops specifically inclined to provide or nurture materials for their specific Masters and Members, in which where the Masters or members also sell their products.

This process of buy and sell, makes the Guild Member’s products easily accessible throughout the market.

Of course, they can also have special types of formation to order depending on what the customer wants. And also prices varies, the higher the rarity of the product, the greater the value.

Mostly products that ranks 5th below can be found in the market, any rank higher than that can either be found in auctions or be ordered from a 6th Ranked or above Personnel.

—

Ye Shie arrived at the entrance door where a word ‘Trade’ can be seen above it.

Opening the door, the duo slowly walked in.

—

Upon arriving at the scene, Ye Shie and Xiao Rou couldn’t help but gasped in shock and awe.

The Interior of the Trading Hall was more grander and larger than the Whole Formations Guild combined.

The duo stared at each other, with shock and confusion in their eyes, but then suddenly as if coordinated the Duo instantly realized why this scene in front of them is possible.

Only one word sprang out in their mouth at the same time.

“Formations!” Then the duo looked at each, then began giggling.

Upon calming down, the Duo realized that all the bustling people in the trading Hall were looking at them weirdly, and due to their senses being high, they heard a collective murmur of “crazy, country bumpkins, and insane”

The Duo blushed, and hurriedly looked down, walking away at the entrance towards the crowd to reduce their exposure.

—

Stores, upon stores were lining up in this Huge Trading Hall, some were even selling in stalls, and booths.

With the bustling crowd always moving back and forth, The duo of an ordinary faced black haired boy, holding hands with an ordinary faced scarlet haired girl walked slowly, looking around at the stores with their eyes still gleaming with excitement and awe…truly a country bumpkins.

Ye Shie’s expression could be said to be proper, for everything in this city was new to him. Xiao Rou was like this, for since birth she mostly stays at home, not really a going-out person.

Xiao Rou pulled Ye Shie closer and asked him curiously, “Shie? Why did we go here?”

Hearing Xiao Rou’s question, Ye Shie smiled wryly and began sweating. ‘I-I can’t tell her right?’ scratching the back of his head, Ye Shie laughed weakly and said “Haha, I-I have business with one of the vendors here.”

Xiao Rou just nodded, and began continuing to excitedly observe her surrounding, Of course they were still holding hands since the beginning.

Ye Shie calmly, wiped the sweat that formed on his eyebrows, sighing inwards.

The Duo, led by Ye Shie began walking towards one of the stores in the Trading Hall.

—

Kein, was a one of the store owners inside the Trading Hall. This store existed as early as the Formation Guild existed. That time, their business was flourishing making their business one of the most famous figure inside the Trading Hall. Customers would flock at their store, and business was always booming.

But now?

Only a couple of customers were surveying his wares. With most of them leaving, with only a few buying.

As time went along, their store was passed down to the next generation, and since then, it began declining until to it’s current state right now.

At first, their business would occupy several stores in the street, but now, only one store remained.

—

Kein was the current owner of the Store right now, he was currently napping in the counter, when he heard a young voice saying “E-excuse me mister?”

Sitting up, while grooming himself for a bit, Kein stared the young couple. Seeing their hands interwoven so tightly, Kein couldn’t help but feel dejected.

‘Look! Still young but already has a partner! While there is me…who’s still single…for 30 years…’ the more he thought about it, the bitter the taste in his mouth became.

His once straight back, lazily hunched down. Sighing, Kein dejectedly replied “Yea? what is it?”

The black haired kid, pulled something in his pocket, showing it towards Kein.

Upon seeing that green badge, with a 3 interwoven lines. His hunched back jolted straight! and his dejected expression changed into a practiced smile.

Kein spoke again, this time with full of earnest sincerity “Yes! What is it Young Master!” Hearing the Young Master from Kein’s mouth, Ye Shie blushed for a bit, and Xiao Rou covered her mouth, to prevent everyone from seeing the smirk on her face.

The reason Kein’s attitude change suddenly, was because of the 3 lines in the badge. Since the time of his ownership, the Shop mostly only has a rank 1 items or products within it. With the rest only regular ones.

Since it was passed down from his father, their business was already like this. They are only keeping the tradition up to date due to his father’s persistence.

Seeing a Rank 3 badge infront of him, Kein couldn’t help but think ‘A Rank 3!! Is this a blessing from the heavens!! Ancestors! Father! Mother! You can now be proud of this son of yours!! Hahahaha!’

‘There are only two explanations why this kid has this badge! It’s either he owns it, or his backer does! whatever the case I should perform his requests competently!’

“Uhmm…” seeing the change of Kein’s attitudes suddenly, the duo became dumbstruck for a bit!

“Mister, do you sell inscribable stone?” Ye Shie asked.

Kein vigorously nodded his head.

Seeing Kein’s actions Ye Shie couldn’t help but be flustered.

“Uhm..mister, can I inscribe on them, and then sell them to you afterwards?” Ye Shie meekly said.

“Eh?” “Eh?” Both Kein and Ye Shie exclaimed at the same time.

“Y-yu-you own t-the the badge?” Kein stammered.

Kein was confused, with Ye Shie’s rank, he could’ve chose other high end stores to do business to.

“Why–“‘here?’ Kein couldn’t finish the last word. This was a godsend opportunity, if he wasted it now, He might not obtain another chance again.

Hearing Kein’s question, Ye Shie blushed. He let go of Xiao Rou’s hands, and embarrassingly went closer to Kein, then he whispered “I need Gold Coins”.
