Chapter 96 C-Rank Item: Ghost Scissors Three-Piece Set

"How much are these scissors, needles, and thread?"

Lu Xian asked.

As soon as he spoke,

it immediately drew a burst of eerie laughter:

"Hahaha, he's so bold."

"The shop owner is a profiteering Merchant, hehe!"

"The most expensive things in the shop are those three items."

"If you can't afford the price, the shop owner will sew your soul into a stuffed doll~"

Lu Xian followed the sound and saw the stuffed dolls on the shelves behind him, each wearing a bizarre smile as if mocking him.

"Those three items on the table?"

"Take one, and give me 100 D-Class Ghosts."

A voice came from the camera's speaker, followed by a chuckle.

"Hahaha, the price went up!"

"Yay, yay! Another ghost is out of luck~"

The stuffed dolls shrieked strangely.

Hearing this, Lu Xian's expression froze in shock:

100 D-Class Ghosts for one item?!

Why not just rob me!

"Too expensive."

Lu Xian wasn't annoyed; instead, he responded with a smile:

"After all, I'm a new customer. How about a 90% discount, buy one get two free?"

As he spoke,

he picked up the scissors.

A stream of information instantly arrived:

{ghost scissors: C-Class temporary item, can cut C-Class Ghosts.}

Lu Xian was secretly startled as he held the scissors.

A good item!

It can actually cut ghosts!

Bang~

Suddenly!

The door of the Stuffed Doll Shop slammed shut!

"A 90% discount plus buy one get two free? I might as well close shop."

The Merchant's voice said eerily.

"Business is negotiable, isn't it?"

Lu Xian glanced at the closed door.

He put down the scissors and picked up the rusty steel needle and thread.

{ghost needle: C-Class temporary item, can pierce C-Class souls.}

{ghost thread: C-Class temporary item, can sew and seal C-Class Ghosts.}

More C-Class items!

This is too awesome!

"Business can be negotiated, but in my shop..."

The Merchant's cold voice suddenly took on a strange tone.

The topic shifted, and the voice softened slightly:

"...I'm actually quite easy to talk to."

Lu Xian took out a netherworld banknote.

It caused the ghost dolls to shriek in a frenzy:

"So fragrant~"

"Wa-wa-wa, give it to me, give it to me~"

The camera turned and barked a command:

"Shut up!"

In the next moment, the shop fell into dead silence again.

"Thirty banknotes like that, and the tailor three-piece set on the table is yours."

Suddenly,

a 1.5-meter tall humanoid stuffed doll crawled out from under the counter and spoke in the Merchant's voice.

{Clone Doll Ghost: C-Class Fierce Ghost (B-Class Evil Ghost Avatar).}

A prompt appeared before Lu Xian's eyes.

An avatar of a B-Class Ghost!

It actually has an avatar!

This meant the owner of this Stuffed Doll Shop was extraordinarily eerie!

"Thirty is too many."

Lu Xian refused.

Although his netherworld banknotes were sent by viewers—essentially free money—

they served an important purpose for him.

Consuming more than half of his netherworld banknotes for two or three C-Class items?

Simply not worth it.

"But I smell the thick fragrance of money on you."

The doll-man looked at him with a frozen, stiff smile.

"Whether I have it or not is none of your business. What, are you going to rob me?" Lu Xian looked up, glancing at the doll-man.

"What a black-hearted shop owner loves most is the 'rob-the-robber' game."

"You're finished~"

"Another unlucky ghost, hee-hee."

The dolls on the shelves answered for him.

Robbery?

"Not at all, I am a benevolent and conscientious Merchant."

"As for those little things who slandered me just now, each of you gets three extra stitches."

As soon as this was said, none of the stuffed dolls dared to make a sound.

"What price do you think is fair?"

The humanoid doll looked at Lu Xian expressionlessly.

Lu Xian wasn't sure if it was the effect of the netherworld banknotes or something else,

but it didn't seem as 'black-hearted' as the dolls said; it seemed to be genuinely trading with him.

"Nine banknotes, at most."

Lu Xian stated his price.

He thought the other party would haggle,

but he didn't expect the Merchant's avatar to agree so readily:

"Deal!"

"Money in one hand, goods in the other!"

Seeing how straightforward the other party was, Lu Xian suspected it might try to renege on the deal.

Or had he overpaid?

But after thinking it over, he still pulled out 9 netherworld banknotes.

Lu Xian had considered directly capturing this Clone Doll Ghost,

but if he did, his soul points would be down to only 5 points.

The shop door was locked.

The Merchant certainly controlled the entire shop; getting out wouldn't be easy.

And for him to teleport away, he needed 20 points each of Stamina and soul points.

If he were trapped in the shop and the Merchant returned, he wouldn't be a match for him in a fight right now.

"Hehe, a pleasure doing business~"

The humanoid doll took the money and put it in a drawer.

"I still have plenty here, do you want more?"

Then Lu Xian watched with his own eyes as it pulled out three more identical sets of scissors, needles, and thread from the drawer.

It seemed intentional.

"..."

Seeing this, Lu Xian fell silent.

He felt like pulling out the ghost king sword and hacking this humanoid doll to pieces.

Damn it.

I was played.

[Hahaha, classic!]

[Awesome, this shop actually has so many sets of items?!]

[Look at Brother Lu's expression, he looks like he wants to tear that doll apart on the spot.]

[I was wondering why it agreed so readily, turns out it has stock... ]

[Hey, this is a doll shop, of course they wouldn't lack these things.]

While the bullet screen was buzzing with discussion,

Lu Xian chose to leave and didn't buy any more.

The shop owner didn't make things difficult for him, and the tightly closed door opened automatically:

"We look forward to your next visit, customer~"

Hearing those punchable words,

Lu Xian had already marked this shop in his mind.

When he had enough resources next time, he would 'visit' again.

"But it's not a total loss."

Lu Xian took out the scissors and toyed with them, saying.

The scissors can cut ghosts.

Paired with the steel needle and thread, the power shouldn't be underestimated.

"Let's test the effect."

Lu Xian caught a nameless D-Class little ghost on the road.

Behind the little ghost, he gave it a snip!

The nameless little ghost was instantly cut in two!

The ghost's body split into upper and lower halves, falling to the ground, writhing and screaming in agony.

Seeing this, everyone exclaimed in shock.

They didn't expect these ghost scissors to be so fierce!

"Collect."

Seeing this, Lu Xian used the demon-suppressing celestial master robe to seal the little ghost.

{Heavenly Garment Suppressing Malevolence effect activated!}

{soul points -2 points.}

The sleeves billowed, and a red light flashed.

The little ghost cut into two pieces on the ground vanished.

{Congratulations on successfully sealing a D-Class nameless little ghost, the demon-suppressing celestial master robe has been enhanced!}

Another ghost seal appeared on the celestial master robe.

However, this ghost seal was much fainter than the previous three.

This was also the first D-Class little ghost he had captured.

So far, he had captured 2 C-Class Ghosts and 1 D-Class Ghost.

Including the C-Class Ghost that came with the demon-suppressing celestial master robe, that was 4 ghosts in total!

He was getting closer to obtaining a Soul-type skill.

"I didn't expect sealing this D-Class Ghost would only require 2 soul points points?"

Lu Xian looked surprised.

He had been reminded before that imprisoning a D-Class Ghost required 5 soul points points.

Why only two this time?

Could it be because it was injured by the ghost scissors?
