Chapter 79: First impression is the most important

After Shao Qing had cleaned up, the sky was already bright. Yawning, she prepared to set up a vendor. These past two days, the harvest had a bit too much of everything, so selling it would be best.

Changing it to zombie crystals would make her feel more at ease.
Additionally, she prepared to purchase some higher ranked crystals. No matter if anyone came to buy anything, she will take what she gets.

In any case she wasn’t lacking in food and the people who do eat was rather little, only Shao Tong and half Xiao Baozi. Why shouldn’t they exchange it for more crystals.

Shao Qing first went to take a look at Yan Hanqing. After asking Yan Hanqing to take care of her home, she went off to set up her vendor.

The good locations to set up her stall was already taken but Shao Qing didn’t mind. Finding a corner, she set up her stall and began to absorb crystals to polish her spiritual energy.

It was when it was nearly midday when Shao Qing suddenly felt that someone had stopped in front of her stall. Opening her eyes, she discovered that the person squatting in front of her wasn’t any stranger but the rich fool who she encountered yesterday….

Shao Qing immediately aroused her spiritual energy, then her brain immediately created five words: “Lots of money, foolish person.”

Thinking to this point, her expression promptly became a lot softer: “Do you need anything? Please take a look. My items are quite complete.”

Meng Shen felt a little embarrassed seeing Shao Qing being so kind. Flipping over some of the items on the table, his mind was thinking about how to strike up a conversation.

If he rashly said that he recognized her, would that make him resemble a gangster?

What if Shao Qing rejected him? What if Shao Qing thought he wasn’t a good person and becomes on guard?

Meng Shen thought for a long time, then his hand continued to unconsciously flip things over;afterwards he discovered he had grabbed onto something. Lowering his head to take a look he discovered that he had grabbed Shao Qing’s leg.

Meng Shen: ….

Shao Qing: ……

Meng Shen quickly let go: “I’m sorry, I didn’t do that on purpose. I was just a bit absent-minded.”

Shao Qing silently withdrew her leg, her gentle expression quickly becoming expressionless: “Do you fancy anything?”

Meng Shen saw her ‘if nothing interests you quickly leave’ expression, he immediately wanted to apologize. After thinking for another long while, he picked something up and said: “Yes.”

For some reason his tongue is usually rather blunt, savage, and can carry out conversations but in front of Shao Qing, he can’t even utter a word.

Once he lifted the item up, Meng Shen immediately regretted it because…that was an unopened period pad….

Shao Qing’s mind instantly crumbled. She had met a pervert! So in reality, Meng Shen had come over to take liberties with her?

Subconsciously, Meng Shen let go. In the next second he moved to pick it up again and seriously replied: “I’m buying this for my friend.”

Shao Qing silently lifted up one finger. Meng Shen then fished out one crystal to hand over to Shao Qing. Sure enough just as she expected he must think one crystal is the initial price point of everything.

Originally wanting to chase him away, Shao Qing silently endured. But within her mind she had equivalated him to a pervert.

Meng Shen then chose several items that he was actually excited for, then tried to probe Shao Qing out by speaking to her: “So you’re called Shao Qing? It’s a really nice name.”

Shao Qing gave him a small smile but within her mind she was thinking: Oh no, sure enough he was a pervert to go as far as to inquire about her name!

Meng Shen spoke again: “I’m called Meng Shen, not Meng Shen*. Meng is for Meng Mu San Qian** and Shen for cautious.”
* different writing with same pronunciation
** proverb

Not wanting to know his name, Shao Qing just smiled. Meng Shen felt a bit depressed. He has lived within his laboratory for such a long time that although his IQ is rather high, his EQ is frighteningly low because he never comes into contact with people.

Seeing how obvious Shao Qing didn’t want to interact with him, Meng Shen couldn’t help but feel discouraged. However he was a tenacious man and quickly became vigorous again: “I see that you have a badge, are you also a superhuman?”

Shao Qing nodded her head: “I’m a wood user.”

Meng Shen dully tried to find a subject: “What a coincidence, I’m a spiritual user.”

Shao Qing couldn’t resist drawing her mouth. If it was another variation, then she really wouldn’t want to talk to Meng Shen. But coincidentally he was surprisingly a spiritual user.

Shao Tong was also a spiritual user. Spiritual users were just like lightning users, very uncommon. Thus Shao Qing couldn’t really help Shao Tong out, but now she had unexpectedly met another spiritual user.

The originally cold Shao Qing immediately became enthusiastic: “You’re a spiritual user?”

“Yes.” Meng Shen smiled. His didn’t have many expressions, smiles either, however when he did smile he was exceptionally good looking. It was like his face got changed into one that is extremely alluring.

Most of all that slight bend of his phoenix eyes, even Shao Qing was a bit distracted. But really quickly Meng Shen’s smiling expression disappeared and he once again returned to his proper restrained appearance.

Shao Qing couldn’t help but ask: “I also have a companion that is a spiritual user, what a coincidence.”

Meng Shen’s interest was also piqued: “Spiritual users are rather uncommon, being able to meet one here must be fate. A spiritual user isn’t easy to control, in fact it’s classified as being the most difficult. Oh, I seem to have said quite a bit of superfluous words”

“No, I enjoy listening to that. Do you have any special tricks?” Shao Qing gave him a tender smile. Meng Shen promptly felt that he had an opportunity to strike up a conversation with Shao Qing and hurriedly explained his daily training methods: “I usually would use my spiritual energy to attempt to pick things up. At the beginning I would use really small items like bowls or chopsticks. Later on I would attempt bigger items, this would help the spiritual energy increase.”

“Thanks,” Shao Qing took a note of it then bestowed him a smile. She had gained a lot of information in regards to spiritual energy from Meng Shen. For example spiritual energy is very strong yet weak at the same time. In case they overdraft their power or receive a heavy injury, they can easily become mentally deficient.

Therefore a spiritual user was rather weak initially. They would require protection until they grow for a period of time, then would they be safe.

If a spiritual user was able to grow up properly, it would be quite frightening being able to kill people or zombies without form.

After collecting quite a bit, Shao Qing’s face changed: “do you still have anything else you want to buy?”

Meng Shen looked at the pile of items in his hands then looked at the items on the table and silently shook his head. Right away he heard Shao Qing cold-heartedly say: “Then why aren’t you leaving?”

At that moment, Meng Shen’s heart shattered….

He spoke so much but he still wasn’t able to change Shao Qing’s impression of him: a pervert.
