1 The Ability of Knowing People

Luke Hans, a junior computer science student, who had no car, no house and no background, but good looks. His parents rented a store in the high-tech district to sell fresh fruits. However, something unexpected happened. He helped with the fruit store during the summer vacation and he was blown to another world by a muffled thunder, when he was taking a nap....

After a stay of 20 days, he waited but didn't get the return ship ticket of time travel.

He got up early every day, went out and turned left, and there was a street very much like the ancient scene of the video studio in Hollywood. Dozens of boys and girls with ridiculous hair buns were selling their goods to all passing customers.

So was Luke.

Employed by a down-and-out cultivator surnamed Lewiston, he took ten bottles of spiritual spring to the market to sell every day, and got a spiritual coin a month as his salary and a bottle of spiritual spring to strengthen his physique.

Yes.

The spiritual spring was the kind of spring that contained spiritual energy and had the effect of strengthening the mortal's physique. It could also be used for refining artifacts, watering spiritual grain fields and spiritual trees. The spiritual spring came from a small spiritual well at the home of Cultivator Lewiston. Its daily production was very limited, with only ten bottles, which was barely enough for Cultivator Lewiston to buy spiritual grains and spiritual fruits.

After 20 days of observation and understanding, Luke finally got a preliminary understanding of this strange wild celestial world.

The wild celestial world was a world where immortals and mortals coexisted. The mortals were under the protection of cultivators from all kinds of beasts and monsters. At the same time, they provided various services for cultivators. For example, he was sent by his parents to Cultivator Lewiston to help convert spiritual spring to spiritual grains and spiritual fruits, saving time for Cultivator Lewiston to better devote himself to cultivation.

The original owner of the body had a great dream!

Three years later, when he had accumulated 36 bottles of spiritual spring and 36 spiritual coins, he would be able to join the nearest small sect, the Billow Sect, and become a glorious outer disciple.

When Luke fused the memory with the original owner of the body, he found that the clearest memory in his mind was exactly the fantasy of flying to the sky and drilling into the ground and being surrounded by girls after he joined the Billow Sect...

How to say it?

Although it was very vulgar, it seemed to be more realistic and far-reaching than the ideals of many mediocre losers in another world.

Yeah, good!

"Luke, Luke."

A simple and honest voice sounded from the side, Luke then came back to his senses, turned his head to Danny with a runny nose, and said, "What's the matter, Danny?"

Daniel Gahn, with a nickname Danny, was famous for his natural divine power in this market. It was said that he was recruited to be a mantle disciple by a cultivator from the KingKong Sect. However, it turned out that he was a little less brainy and he was often teased by the customers who passed by. When he was discouraged, he gave up the idea and was kept beside the cultivator as an attendant.

The two met when they once saw a child who was also a vendor trying to defraud Danny of two spiritual coins. Only Luke opened his mouth to remind, Daniel was then greatly grateful and then they quickly got acquainted with each other.

Daniel was born with a dull mind, but he was cheerful. His eyebrows jumped up and down. He laughed, "Anyway, you have sold out your spiritual spring. Help me sell my spiritual spring and I'll take you to the Purple Bamboo Forest to catch snow rabbits later."

"You speak as if you can really catch one."

Luke patted his buttocks disdainfully and sat up from the ground. He weighed in hand the 20 spiritual coins obtained from selling spiritual spring. The spiritual coins were cool and felt very comfortable.

"The snow rabbits in the Purple Bamboo Forest are at least spirit animals. Do you really think you can catch it with your skill? You fool, it is teasing you."

"What do you mean by teasing?" Daniel snuffled, and the snot miraculously retracted, and then slowly leaned out a little of the nostrils. Seeing this, Luke felt a toothache, and immediately lost the interest to explain.

"Forget it. As long as you are happy."

Walking to Daniel's stall, Luke frowned, only to see eight watery and red fruits in a small jade box which emitted the cold air. The fragrance was tangy.

"Why did you open the box?"

"There is a fragrance when the box is opened."

Danny replied.

"Besides, how can others know that my fruits are big and red if I don't open the box?"

This explanation sounded reasonable, but Luke was born to sell fresh fruits anyhow. Years of experience told him that the spiritual fruits also needed to be kept fresh. The reason why jade boxes were used was to keep the spiritual fruits fresh and to seal up the rich spiritual energy in the spiritual fruits so as not to lose it.

If the jade box was opened, the spiritual energy in the spiritual fruits would be lost and the spiritual fruits would gradually lose its original luster and value.

This boy must have been cheated again!

Luke turned his head and looked around. As expected, he saw two children who also set up stalls to sell secretly shrugging their shoulders in the snicker. After their eyes met, they showed a sneer of hatred and provocation.

It was him!

Luke immediately understood.

This child was exactly the boy who had defrauded Daniel before. After being severely beaten, he once disappeared from the market. He didn't expect him to come again today.

Pow!

Luke resolutely closed the jade box.

Daniel, though dull and stupid, saw Luke close the jade box and immediately realized what was going on. He turned his head to look at the two children, showing a look of resentment:

"It was him who said that his spiritual fruits were big and fragrant, and it must sell faster than mine. I was unconvinced. Clearly my spiritual fruits were bigger and more fragrant, so..."

After Luke explained to him, Daniel immediately became angry, he clenched his fists and was about to go over to look for trouble.

"Danny, don't go over there."

"They are too bad, I want to beat him up!"

"Forget it, the jade box has not been opened for a long time, and the spiritual energy didn't lose much. It won't affect the value of the spiritual fruits. I'll help you find a buyer."

After raising his eyes and looking for a while as he spoke, Luke aimed at two young girls and walked over.

"Huh?"

Daniel froze on the spot.

The two children who had defrauded Danny also showed astonishment.

These little boys, who got accustomed to holding their master's things in the market stalls, would not understand what was active marketing, and what was the ability of knowing people naturally.

After staying at the fresh fruit stall for a long time, Luke has already had a set of his own skills of recognizing people. For the passing guests, as long as he listened carefully and summarized patiently, he could understand who were repeat customers, who were potential customers and who were big customers...

Although he sold spiritual spring, he still would habitually store the demand informations of other guests.

The two girls were the maids of the Juel Family, with first-grade low-level cultivation. They came to the market together every other day or two to purchase some spiritual spring and spiritual fruits. What impressed him deeply was that one of them once said, "My lady likes to serve guests with fresh and beautiful spiritual fruits best."

It was just as expected!

The spiritual fruits in Daniel's hand were given to the two girls for a look. The two girls paid for them without saying anything, and there were also small surprises.

One of the girls looked at him curiously with big bright eyes and said, "I remember you sold spiritual spring. Why do you sell spiritual fruits instead today? Besides, how do you know we need spiritual fruits?"

"You really have a good memory. My name is Luke. I am an attendant of Cultivator Lewiston over there. Today I am helping my friend sell spiritual fruits... Of course, I am deeply impressed by you two young sisters. You are as beautiful as fairies. I dreamed that you could come and buy my spiritual spring the next day."

"Hee hee hee..."

The two girls were immediately convulsed with laughter: "Little buddy, you speak lovely words!"

Of course.

Luke put on a smiling face, but in his mind he disagreed with the two girls who laughed.

In the 21st century, how could small business owners survive if they did not know to flatter.

"Sisters, how do you think about my brother's spiritual fruits? They are sweet, juicy and big. If you buy and eat them, you will definitely want to eat them again."

"All right, all right, you have called me sister so many times, I'll be embarrassed not to take it."

The girl with a beauty mark on her left cheek took out 24 spiritual coins and got the spiritual fruits. Her tone changed, "By the way, Luke, little buddy, you are familiar with this place. Can you do me a favor?"

"No problem."

Luke patted his chest and boasted: "Sister, you say, and I will go through fire and water without even a frown."

The two girls were amused immediately.

"By the way, I don't know the names of the you two yet."

"My name is Elena Green, and this is Fiona Hill. Luke, little brother, you need to remember." The girl with beauty mark readily said their names, and Fiona, who was slightly reserved beside her with a face of helplessness, could not even stop her.

Elena added,

"All right, all right, no kidding. Your sisters have a lot of shopping to do today... Well, besides spiritual spring, spiritual fruits and spiritual grains, we also have to purchase some spiritual tea and spiritual wine, but after walking around, we haven't bought enough spiritual fruits and spiritual spring, and it's getting late now, we are worried that we won't be able to buy the most important spiritual tea and spiritual wine. If we delay the lady's annual banquet with the disciples, both of us will have to be punished."

"Honestly, Elena, what's the use of telling little Luke about this?"

Fiona complained.

Before she had finished her words, Luke patted his chest and said no problem:

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal, just leave it to me. Sisters, you can go and buy spiritual tea and spiritual wine. Leave the other things to me here. I'll make sure you see enough spiritual fruits and spiritual spring when you come back. By the way, how much more are you short?"

Even if they needed to buy more, there would be no problem. Through 20 days of observation, Luke knew exactly how many spiritual spring and fruits all the cultivators in this market have in their hands. Even if they were sold out in the market, there were still several large sellers who have stock. It would definitely be no problem to deal with a banquet.

"Really?!"

"Luke, little brother, don't over promise." Fiona looked at Luke, who was only 13 or 14 years old, and was very uneasy. She explained, " We have to buy ten plates of spirit fruits this time. We have only received 20 spiritual fruits and we are still short of 80 of them. We are also short of 40 bottles of spiritual spring for making tea. Can you... really help us collect them?"

"No problem, you can go and buy spiritual tea and spiritual wine. I'll prepare the others for you here and we'll settle the account at the market price later."

Are you kidding?

These cultivators were all refined mortals. Which one of them had no stock in his hand?

Forty bottles of spiritual spring could be solved by himself. His master Cultivator Lewiston had at least hundreds of bottles of spiritual spring in his hand. The reason why only ten bottles were provided every day was the agreement between the cultivators to stabilize the market price.

For spiritual fruits, Danny should be able to get it from his master cultivator of the KingKong Sect.

"Great! Then we'll come back and settle the accounts."

Fiona agreed to it when she thought that they did not need to pay in advance anyway. They agreed with Luke on a meeting time and both left the market.

Luke's face bloomed with a hint of ecstasy:

"Ha-ha! The opportunity has come! Danny, come with me!"
