High-level martial arts: Invincibility starts with basic archery.

Chapter 88 has no other meaning

Compared to writing on paper, speaking is much faster.

He could even sit down and listen to the old man talk from now until the afternoon.

Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes immediately showed a hint of evasion. "How about next time? I'm getting old and my memory isn't good. I can't think of it right now. I need a few days. Come back in a few days, and I won't let you down."

"Alright."

Chen Fan's face showed a hint of disappointment. "Grandpa, please take care. I hope I can see you again next time I come."

"Uh-huh?"

The old man glared at him. "Why does what you're saying sound like you're cursing me?"

"Grandpa, please don't be angry. I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to see you again next time I come here."

Chen Fan quickly explained.

Don't worry.

The old man waved his hand, "Next time, it'll be here again. You'll see me when you come over."

Watching Chen Fan leave, the old man sighed softly.

What a rare and wonderful silly boy!

Old man, I only intended to scam you once, but you insisted on making me scam you a second time, so there's nothing I can do about it.

I hope that one day when you learn the truth, you won't be angry, because being angry won't help.

Of course, if you get scammed a second time, and then a third or fourth time, then I'll give you the real deal.

but……

A hint of confusion appeared in the old man's eyes.

Is it really possible for someone to master these skills?

"Chen Fan, are you sure some of these are real?"

Gu Ze looked doubtful.

Chen Guodong and the others didn't speak, but their eyes were all on Chen Fan.

"There are indeed some genuine ones among them."

Chen Fan spoke calmly.

"!"

Everyone was startled.

Gu Ze also widened his eyes, but he seemed to want to say something.

"Don't worry, I'll prove it to you later."

Chen Fan said something.

Currently, the [Shadowless Blade] is the easiest to unlock, requiring only a few levels of basic swordsmanship.

【Floating on Water】is probably a bit difficult, as it requires basic movement skills, which he had no clue about and could only go back and ask Uncle Zhang.

The Invincible Vajra Divine Skill is not something you can expect to master in the short term, as it is extremely difficult to complete. However, once you master this martial art, your survivability will be greatly enhanced!

What could be a more terrifying opponent than a marksman who is both tanky and deals high damage?

"Since Xiao Fan says so, then it must be true." Liu Yong laughed heartily.

"Yes, Xiao Fan is a martial artist; his judgment is far superior to ours."

"That's right, that's right."

No one took it seriously.

In fact, the prey they brought was all thanks to Chen Fan's efforts, and he could spend his money however he wanted.

Gu Ze had no choice but to accept it, thinking to himself, "Since you say so, then I'll wait for you to prove it."

The group walked along the road toward the grain store.

Suddenly, Chen Fan stopped in his tracks in front of a mask vendor.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Guodong looked over in confusion.

Behind the stall, a thin man with long, slender fingers looked at Chen Fan with great enthusiasm: "Brother, would you like to buy a mask? All my masks are handmade and genuine."

Chen Fan's gaze fell on the rows of masks laid out in front of him.

Among them are cartoon characters and the twelve zodiac animals, all made with remarkable realism.

"A mask? It doesn't seem to be of much use?" someone muttered.

"Yeah, apart from kids, not many people like these things, right? You can't eat them anyway."

"It seems quite expensive; a mask costs two yuan?"

The crowd looked at them with disdain.

The man immediately tensed up and hurriedly said, "If you buy a lot, I can give you a discount."

As a craftsman, before the mutation, he barely made ends meet. But after the mutation, he couldn't sell his little trinkets at all.

Chen Fan naturally knew this as well.

However, he was worried that the bandits outside would be watching the exit all the time, and if he went out alone, the situation might change if he was recognized.

Although the possibility is slim, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Anyway, it's not like I'm short of money.

His gaze swept directly over the cartoon characters and animal masks in front of him. It wasn't that these masks were bad, but one could imagine a person wearing a rabbit smiling mask killing someone as if nothing was wrong. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like a pervert.

His gaze fell on the last row of masks.

These are three masks painted with images of Yakshas.

Its appearance is like that of a demon, with two long horns on its head and two rows of snow-white, sharp teeth in its gaping maw. In particular, the two teeth on the upper side of the row are like those of a saber-toothed tiger, reaching up to the chin, making it a fearsome sight.

One black, one red, and one cyan—three colors.

"Boss, how much are these three masks?"

Chen Fan asked.

Are you asking about these three?

The male protagonist sounded a little nervous, "These Asura masks are much more complicated to make, so the price is a bit higher, five yuan a pair."

Five yuan!

"Are you obsessed with money?"

"Boss, you probably made these masks many years ago, but they've just been sitting on your hands ever since, no one's buying them, right?"

Everyone was talking at once.

The man blushed deeply after being spoken to.

"Three for ten yuan. If you're willing, I'll take them all."

Chen Fan said calmly.

The man hesitated for a moment, then readily agreed.

Gu Ze watched quietly from the side. Although he felt that this guy was wasting money, he had to admit that the ghost mask was kind of cool.

Next, Chen Fan passed by several street stalls and bought some trinkets, such as soap, toilet paper, two decks of cards, and a chess set.

Having come all this way, he thought he should bring back some gifts for his mother and younger brother.

He also bought a pair of binoculars for nearly 100 yuan, after which he had almost run out of money.

Chen Guodong seemed to be inspired as well, and he gritted his teeth and bought a bottle of skincare products and put it in his pocket.

After everyone else had finished buying their items, the group walked to the grain store.

Unlike other places, here several burly men with rifles stood at the entrance, watching everyone who came in with wary eyes.

Behind the counter inside the room stood a bald, middle-aged man, his head down, seemingly reading a novel, occasionally letting out a laugh.

"Boss, how much is your rice? And what about salt?"

Chen Guodong walked in and asked the question first.

"Rice, the most common kind, is one yuan per jin. If you want to buy better quality rice, there are also three yuan per jin and ten yuan per jin, depending on which one you want to buy."

The bald man stood behind the counter, saying without looking up, "As for salt, it's five yuan a pound."

"What! Five yuan a pound!"

Someone exclaimed, "Last time I came, wasn't it four yuan a pound?"

"Yeah, boss, you've raised prices way too fast!"

The bald man raised his head, glanced at the crowd with disdain, and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, the price of salt will only increase as time goes on. Once the seawater freezes, it will sell for tens of yuan per kilogram. Besides, do you know how many ferocious beasts are on the coast right now? It's much more dangerous than on land. Buy it if you want, don't buy it if you don't."

As he spoke, he lowered his head again, looking at the book in front of him.

Chen Guodong and the others exchanged glances. What else could they do? They had no choice but to buy it.

However, this means we'll have to buy less rice.

"Boss,"

Just then, Chen Fan asked in confusion, "I heard you say earlier that rice is also priced at three yuan per jin and ten yuan per jin. Selling it at such a high price, what makes it better than rice that costs one yuan per jin?"
