Philip did not expect the starstone to react all of a sudden. He picked up the small black stone without a change in his expression and looked at it. He found nothing special about it. It was just an ordinary stone.
At this time, the street vendor, who was in his 20s, counted the money in his hands from the transaction he just made and said, “Have you taken a fancy to this stone? It’s quite ordinary. It’s yours for 5,000.”
‘5,000? For a small stone like this?’
“Is this stone so expensive?” Philip pretended to ask in surprise.
The street vendor looked at Philip and said, “Buddy, you look unfamiliar. Are you new here?”
Philip did not deny it.
The other party immediately smiled and said, “This thing is from Mystic Mine Three. In fact, everything here is, so the prices are definitely not cheap. Moreover, to tell you the truth, this stone has been here for three months but no one wants it. Since you’re the first person who has taken a fancy to it, I’m willing to make a loss and will let you have it for 3,000.”
Philip saw through the smiling face of the street vendor at a glance. He then said, “1,500…”
“No way! That’s a huge loss for me!” The vendor immediately snatched the stone back from Philip’s hand.
Philip was unconcerned. He got up and pretended to leave.
Seeing that, the vendor got anxious and said, “Well, seeing that this is your first time, let me do you a favor. 2,000! That’s the lowest price I can give!”
Philip did not hesitate and agreed with 2,000. He turned around, paid the money, took the stone, and left.
