Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 16

Lin Mu looked up and saw the familiar 'Jing Wei's Emporium' written on the signboard. With his legs sore from all the running, Lin Mu wanted to plop down right then and there on the floor; but then decided against it. He pulled out the rolled-up pelts of the Black horned rabbit and Thorn tailed rat before walking into the shop.

Everything was the same as yesterday: dust everywhere and no person at the counter. Wanting to rest, Lin Mu found an old stool in the corner and sat on it; not minding the dust on it. He rested his legs till they did not feel as sore as before and he could walk again normally.

Lin Mu must have rested for more than 30 minutes, yet no one came to check on him. There seemed to be no sign of the woman from before.

'It's been so long, yet no one is bothering to check the shop. Are they not afraid of getting anything stolen?'

'I guess no one even comes to the alley itself, not to mention this shop.'

Lin Mu wondered how the shop owner even survived considering the situation of the business. Pushing his thoughts aside, he walked up to the counter and rang the small bell kept on it. Unlike before, he did not even have to wait for 10 seconds before the woman walked out of the door behind the counter.

"What are you here for today?" The woman questioned with an expressionless face.

"I brought more pelts to sell." Lin Mu said with a little pep in his voice.

The woman unrolled the pelts and checked them. Not finding anything wrong with them, she put them on the side and pulled out a coin pouch from under the counter.

"I'll give you the same price as before: 30 coppers." The woman stated.

"That's fine, but I also need a few more things," replied Lin Mu. He had originally thought of buying a weapon and some things from other shops, but decided to try his luck here instead; hoping to get a better deal.

"What else do you need?"

"I want two pouches, a large sack, and a weapon."
