《Eternal Thief 》Chapter 41: City Herbs & Weapons Shop
Advertisement
Ace and Eva were currently heading towards the City Herbs & Weapons Shop.
After some twists and turns, they finally saw a big 10-story building. There was a big signboard in front of the shop 'City Herbs & Weapons' Shop was written on it. It was a shop that was directly controlled by City Lord's family, the Casen Family.
Before entering the shop, Ace saw a familiar luxurious carriage was parked outside of the shop. It was the same carriage he saw outside of the city yesterday, and because of this carriage, he and Eva were able to get inside the city unnoticed.
Eva also recognized that carriage the instant she saw it, "Should we leave and come back on another time?" She asked him in low voice. She didn't want to get into any trouble with this kind of person.
Ace also saw from afar that the shop was almost empty and only some guards and attendants were present. 'Is it because of the owner of the carriage?' he thought for a moment and was about to agree with Eva's suggestion of leaving.
When he saw a beautiful young lady with blonde hair wearing a luxurious grown walk out of the shop following her were some maids. She didn't even notice her surroundings and nonchalantly enters the carriage with her maids behind.
After she enters her carriage the guards who were standing outside the shop hurriedly form two lines around the carriage and the carriage starts to move towards the exit of the market.
"She's not simple at all!" Ace comments on seeing the blond hair girl. Because he could sense her cultivation was at the early stage of the Qi Foundation Building realm. There are four stages of the Qi Foundation building realm Early, Mid, High, and Peak.
That girl was around the same age as Eva's or a little older than her, but she was already at the early stage of the Qi Foundation building realm.
Eva's senses were not as high as Ace and she didn't have his true and false Eyes or soul sense so she didn't know why he said those words. And she thinks that he was complimenting that blonde girl's beauty. She felt displeased for some reason and puffed while saying "Humph! See enough? Let's go to that shop."
She didn't give him any chance and starts to march towards the shop's entrance while ignoring him.
Ace becomes confused after seeing her acting this way, 'What happen to her?' He thinks and chases after her. Now that carriage was gone the customers begin to enter the shop again.
They enter the big shop and head straight towards the counter where an old man was sitting. That old saw both Ace and Eva were young and smile like a senior while saying, "How can I help you?"

Eva says in an impolite tone before Ace could say a single word. "Do you sell storage bags and soft armor for females here?"
Ace was helpless after seeing her acting this way, he could sense that she was in a bad mood for some reason and let her do what she wants for time being.
The old man saw Eva's dominating attitude and smile knowingly towards Ace and said, "Yes we have all the things you need especially storage bags only our shop sells them in the entire city. You can head towards the fifth floor after you show a million ruby coins, this is the rule of our shop."
Ace was amazed by this rule because one million ruby coins were a lot in River-Flower city, and here they have to show them just to go on upper-level floors of the shop. One has known that he only got five million ruby coins in that Kelby family treasury and even Rylan's wealth came from a Kingdom level expert.
Eva didn't say anything and only look towards Ace with angered-filled eyes. Ace didn't delay anymore after seeing her fierce eyes and take a Yellow crystal card from his pocket. On the card were 1Million and a symbol of the ruby coin was engraved.
This was the ruby crystal card that used to carry a big amount of money.
That old man didn't say anything after seeing that ruby crystal card in his hand and wink towards an attendant. She quickly comes forward, "Honorable customer please follow me."
They both followed the attendant towards the upper floors and reached their destination on the fifth floor of the shop.
The fifth floor of the shop was much grande looking than the first floor. There were rows of shelves here and on them were all kinds of shining weapons, armors, and pills..., one could see them through the glass.
Eva completely forgets about her temper when she saw all those armors. She wanted to steal all of them but quickly forget about it after thinking, 'We'll only steal from bad guys!'
Ace wasn't much impressed by all those treasures because he already saw all those treasures from the kingdom. They were only one-star weapons and white-grade pills here.
An old lady was sitting behind the counter, she was the floor master of the fifth floor and her cultivation was at the peak of Qi Gates Realm. She saw Ace and Eva coming on her floor and said expressionlessly, "What do you need?" she didn't like talking much and only care for important guests and in her eyes, Ace was not important at all so she gets straight to business.
Ace didn't mind her attitude he was here for shopping not for gaining anyone's respect. But Eva was different from him and said in displeased manner, "Did your shop always greets their customers this way?"

That old lady didn't even flinch and said in disdain, "You may leave if you're here for wasting my time."
"YOU!" She was going to quarrel when she felt Ace's hand firmly holding her shoulder. He didn't want to make a scene and said while smiling, "We want to buy two storage bags and a 1-Star Armor for my sister."
That old lady didn't pay attention to Eva anymore and said in an ordering tone, "Go fetch the storage bags he wants."
The girl who bought Ace and Eva here, hurriedly leaves after receiving her order she knows too well just how much rude this old lady was and no one can do anything about it because she is a member of the Casen Family.
"You can choose any armor from this floor." She said to Ace.
Ace didn't say anything and wink towards Eva who was fuming with rage. She takes a deep breath and shot a fearsome gaze towards that rude old lady. After calming down a bit she ignores that nasty lady and starts selecting armor for herself with Ace.
They were many types of armor here on display but all of them were too flashy and She didn't like them so she chose a full body soft armor for female in black color.
Ace was also looking around without any interest, he has some armors way better than these on display but they were all heavy armors, and his skills were mostly focusing on speed so he can't wear them nor Eva. He wanted to sell them all once he reached a Kingdom for Qi-Stones since he has more than enough ruby coins.
Ace was just about to shift his gaze elsewhere when he notices a black hood in a display of armors. It was a hood with a dark-blue pattern and his eyes sparkle, "I want that black hood as well." He said to the rude old lady.
After some time, the servant girls come back with two little green bags in her hand. She didn't hand them to Ace directly and gave them to the old lady. She also took that black soft armor and hood from the display and place them on the counter in front of the old lady. "Anything else?" She asked Ace in an emotionless voice.
"NO!" Eva answer before Ace could in an annoying manner.
"Two storage bags, and two 1-Star soft armors. One Million Ruby coins." She directly told them the collective price.
Ace raised his eyebrow after hearing the price, one million was not much for him but the way she was talking to them in stars to get on his nerve and looked towards that old lady waist and there was a black storage bag hanging. He got a good idea to teach her an unforgivable lesson.
"This is your one million." He gave that one million crystal card to that lady and grab those storage bags and armors. He didn't give Eva any chance to say anything, he held her smooth hand and drag her towards the exit of the floor.
After leaving the shop Eva below in anger, "Why don't you let me teach her a lesson?"
She was confident in her skills and wants to fight that old hag, and after they can just escape the shop unharmed. But he didn't let her do as she 'plan' and that's why she was now furious.
"Just take this and don't draw too much attention towards us." Ace ignore her angry face and gave her a black storage bag while smiling.
She was about to argue with him when she saw that black storage bag and become confused, "Didn't we buy green color bags?"
"Hehehe, do you believe me if I say that this storage bag is old hag's?" Ace laugh as he gave that storage bag to Eva.
"REALLY!" She quickly received that bag from Ace and saw inside were four million ruby coins crystal cards, some clothing and other stuff for a woman, and a 1-star whip. Since these 1-Star weapons cannot contain Qi and only work when someone supplies them with Qi they can be store inside the storage bag.
"How did you do that?" She asked him while exclaiming.
"It's a trade secret." He raised his shoulder and said with a smile.
He used soul thread and pick-pocket to robbed that old hag. Now his heavenly sense can reach 30 meters so it was easy to robbed someone like that old hag. He didn't get any TP since there was only a single weapon and money. That's why he decided to give them to Eva so he can be 'free' from being her 'bank'.
Eva becomes notably happy and didn't mind Ace anymore and starts to store her things inside the storage bag.
After some time, Ace realized that he should've never given her that money because after getting 'rich' Eva wanders around the whole market for the entire evening and buy anything she likes.
But they didn't know that unknowingly Ace has robbed the sister of City Lord and alert someone they shouldn't have!

Forced Development (What does it truly mean to live a fulfilling life?)
To get things started I would like to admit that this story does not bring much new to the table when it comes to the over-saturated Litrpg genre in terms of things like mechanics and power systems. Then what exactly am I trying to bring to the table with this work? A nice slow-paced novel about people maturing and growing older think of it as the re: zero or jobless reincarnation of Litrpgs. A story that tries to take into consideration how a worldwide system would affect the economics and culture of a world. A story that is much more character-focused than the typical heavy progression-focused novels this genre is known for. The RPG system, like any good power system, is there to actually explore the themes of the story and not just as a plot device for characters to get stronger. This is a story where we will see the growth of the Mc from being a baby to when he dies of old age. With plenty of heart-racing actions and intriguing plot developments along the way. Exploring themes like; What does it mean to improve at something and what does it mean to mature as a person? How does magic, the constant threat of monsters and people so much stronger than the average joe that they can destroy countries affect one's culture both on the micro and the macro scale? How people are affected by the culture in general? Generational trauma Nature vs Nurture Talent vs hard work What is morality, society, and people's opinions on both? What does it mean to be human and what does it mean to be alive in the context of a world with multiple sapient species vastly different from one another in basic biology? All these questions are going to be explored from multiple angles using the system as a catalyst for those discussions. So if any of does questions sound interesting to you what are you waiting for, I'm sure you are going to love this story. PS - Chapter come out every Friday at about the same time.
