Chapter 54: The Joy of Getting Things for Free
When Korobus heard this, he didn’t turn Leon away. Instead, he nodded. “Come find me again when you’ve saved up the money. I can set aside an Iridium Sprinkler for you in advance.”
“Alright.”
Leon hadn’t given up on buying the Iridium Sprinkler. After all, if he had to make one himself, he had no idea how long it would take to raise his Farming level to nine.
“This is our first meeting, so you can pick one item from my shop as a gift. However, I can’t give you any one-of-a-kind items.”
Though their deal hadn’t gone through, Leon’s friendly manner—and the fact that he hadn’t looked at Korobus with any strange expression—left the shadowy merchant feeling at ease. So, as Leon was about to leave, Korobus decided to show a bit of goodwill.
“Really? Then I’ll gladly accept your generosity.” Leon wasn’t one for needless politeness. Mutual willingness in getting something for free was always tempting, like when supermarkets hand out free eggs.
“So, what will it be? One of the two types of magic essence, a monster drop, or a Prismatic Geode?” As he spoke, Korobus reached into the void and pulled out a large sack, opening it to display its contents.
Leon ignored the strange-looking monster drops entirely. Instead, his eyes locked onto a plate-sized, irregular chunk of mineral, as if several stones had fused together, its surface mottled with spots of various colors. “Is that a Prismatic Geode?”
“Yes. You seem to like it, so I’ll give it to you as a gift.” Seeing Leon’s gaze, Korobus immediately took out the mineral and handed it over.
