Chapter 44 Profiteers
Jiang Yuan looked at it for a long time, then answered seriously: "I can't tell."
The hair on the big cat's neck was so long that it completely covered the cloth bag. As long as it didn't raise its head, ordinary monsters would not notice it at all.
After getting Jiang Yuan's answer, Big Cat couldn't help but wag his tail, and his happy expression was hard to hide.
After solving Big Cat's problem, Jiang Yuan turned his attention to Rabbit Man and said helplessly, "Actually, I don't know who made this bag."
The cloth bag was placed together with the things given by the villagers of Monster Village. No one knew who gave it to her. After accidentally discovering that it had a storage function and that it did not bulge out after putting a lot of things in it, she and Big Cat put everything in it.
After getting the answer, Rabbit Man didn't dwell on this topic too much. He looked at both sides of the street and then stopped his gaze on an inn.
"There have been too many monsters coming to Moon Bay these past two days, and I don't know if there are any extra rooms. Let's go to that store and ask first."
Jiang Yuan looked in the direction of his gaze and saw an inn. Two words could be vaguely seen on the plaque: Come!
They came to the inn. The words on the plaque were powerful and vigorous. The lanterns hanging in front of the door were flashing a faint red light, and there was a small gap in the door of the inn.
Jiang Yuan looked at the scene, hesitated and was afraid to go forward and knock on the door.
Upon seeing this, Rabbit Hero said to Big Cat, "Take good care of her," then walked to the door of the inn, raised his paw and pulled the door knocker and knocked a few times.
Just a few breaths after the knock on the door, a voice came from the inn. The next second, a rabbit head popped out from behind the door. He looked at the three rabbits in front of him and said flatteringly, "Here we go, gentlemen, do you want to stay at the inn?"
Rabbit Man took out a shell from his waist, handed it to him, and asked, "Well, is there any room left?"
The rabbit demon took the shell and said with a slightly embarrassed look, "Yes, I do, but the price... I'm afraid you may not be able to accept it!"
Rabbit Man said nonchalantly, "It's just shells, how expensive can it be?"
When the rabbit demon heard this, his expression immediately became excited. He quickly opened the door of the inn and said, "I feel relieved with your words, sir. Please come in."
The waiter looked at Rabbit Man, then at the huge cat behind him, and at Jiang Yuan, whose breed he couldn't really tell, and couldn't help but shook his head.
He didn't expect that he had made a mistake. These people looked extremely poor, but they didn't care about so many shells at all. Thinking of this, his flattering smile was mixed with some sincerity.
The Rabbit Hero took out a dozen more shells and said, "Then give us two upper rooms first!"
The waiter said "OK" and took the dozen shells. He counted the shells that Rabbit Man handed over, then stretched out his paw towards Rabbit Man again. Seeing that he did not move, he whispered to remind him: "Sir, there are not enough shells..."
Jiang Yuan frowned slightly and asked, "Little Second Brother, can you explain it more clearly? How many shells do we need to give?"
"Our inn determines the price based on quantity and level. This demon king said he only needs two upper rooms... This upper room will cost 20 cowrie shells, and two rooms will cost 40 cowrie shells."
He felt a little embarrassed at this point, so he added, "However, I see that this is also your first time to visit Moon Bay, so I will only charge you 35 shells this time, just as if I were making friends with you."
"Three...thirty-five?"
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but exclaimed. Although she had not been in the monster world for long, she knew that according to the market price, two upper rooms would only cost five or six shells.
But this inn wanted thirty-five. Wow, that’s several times more than what they wanted…
Big Cat couldn't help but say, "You didn't make up this price, did you? It's different from other inn prices!"
After hearing what Big Cat said, the waiter Rabbit Demon's face visibly turned cold. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "You think it's too expensive? If you think it's too expensive, just go sleep on the street. It's free there."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to realize that his attitude was wrong, but the words had already been spoken, and he could not find a way to remedy it. Fortunately, he did remedy it, and then he heard him say: "It's very late now. If you want to stay in the hotel, give me shells. If not, leave quickly and don't block us here and affect our inn's business."
Rabbit Man glanced at his paw coldly and said, "We will leave of course, but you have to return the fifteen shells I gave you first!"
The waiter looked reluctant and clenched the fifteen shells in his claws: How could he easily give up something that was in his claws?
Thinking of this, his eyes rolled and he quickly came up with an idea...
