Chapter 334: The Strange Magic Fair and the Troublesome Bargaining

After the college cleanup and the cleanup challenge, Qin Feng and his friends can finally relax. The college decided to give the students a day off to let them move freely. As soon as the news came out, everyone immediately started discussing how to spend this rare leisure time. At this time, a bigger surprise was waiting for them - the annual magic fair was held in the town near the college.

In the morning, Qin Feng, Chu Tian, ​​Ye Li, Zhang Meng and Wang Yue arrived at the gate of the academy early, ready to go to the magic market. It is said that this market brings together magic vendors from all over the country, and there are all kinds of strange and bizarre items for sale, so everyone is full of expectations.

"I heard that this magic fair is only held once a year, and every time there are different merchants selling rare magic items." Ye Li said excitedly.

"Yeah, we didn't have the chance to go before, so we can't miss it this time." Chu Tian was also looking forward to it, "I hope to find some powerful magic props."

"I just hope to find some delicious magical food." Zhang Meng touched his stomach and said with a smile.

"You only know how to eat." Wang Yue said jokingly, "But I also want to see if I can find some interesting magic potions."

Everyone chatted and laughed all the way until they finally arrived at the entrance of the magic market in the town. There was a huge banner at the entrance of the market, which read "Magic Market, Unlimited Wonders". There were also two lifelike magic statues at the entrance, as if welcoming every customer who came.

As soon as you enter the market, colorful lights and lively crowds immediately come into view. Tents of various colors are neatly arranged, and various magical items are placed in front of each tent. There are singing magic flower pots, automatic dancing brooms, glowing night pearls, and some particularly strange-looking small accessories.

"Wow, it's so lively here!" Zhang Meng looked around excitedly.

"Yeah, look at these things, how novel!" Wang Yue was also dazzled, "Let's go and take a look at those magic potions."

They decided to go to the magic potion stall first. Wang Yue took the lead and walked to a stall filled with potion bottles of various colors. The stall owner was a thin old man wearing a pair of thick glasses, who was busy sorting the potion bottles.

"Hello, do these medicines have any special effects?" Wang Yue asked politely.

"These are all magic potions with my own exclusive formula. Some increase strength, some increase speed, and one is specifically used to create illusions." The old man replied with a smile.

Wang Yue took a fancy to a bottle of light blue potion and asked, "How much is this bottle of potion?"

The old man narrowed his eyes, looked at Wang Yue, and then held up two fingers: "Two hundred gold coins."

"What? So expensive?" Wang Yue asked in surprise, "This bottle of medicine doesn't look like it's worth that much, right?"

"Young man, don't underestimate it." The old man said mysteriously, "This is something I developed exclusively. It can increase your speed by twice within one minute."

"But two hundred gold coins is still too expensive." Wang Yue shook her head. "How about one hundred gold coins?"

"No, no, this is an exclusive formula. If it's less than one hundred and fifty gold coins, I'll be at a loss." The old man immediately retorted.

Wang Yue took a deep breath and was about to continue bargaining when Chu Tian suddenly interrupted and said, "I think one hundred gold coins is very reasonable. After all, these potions don't look special."

The old man's face darkened. "Young man, what do you know? These are all high-quality magic potions! Okay, I'll give you a discount, one hundred and forty gold coins."

Wang Yue took the opportunity to say, "How about one hundred gold coins plus the instructions for this bottle of medicine?"

The old man hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, okay, one hundred gold coins is one hundred gold coins, who made me in a good mood today."

"Deal!" Wang Yue said excitedly and handed over the gold coins.

The others couldn't help laughing, obviously admiring Wang Yue's bargaining skills.

"Not bad, Wang Yue, you really have a talent for negotiation." Ye Li said with a smile.

"It's okay. You have to know how to bargain in this kind of market." Wang Yue said proudly.

Next, they came to a magic props stall. This stall seemed larger than the other stalls, and it was filled with all kinds of strange magic props, some of which emitted a faint light.

The stall owner was a middle-aged woman with a kind smile. When she saw Qin Feng and the others approaching, she greeted them enthusiastically, "Come on, take a look at the magic props I have here. I guarantee they will amaze you!"

Qin Feng's attention was attracted by an ordinary-looking broom. There were some strange runes engraved on the handle of the broom, which seemed to suggest that it was different from others.

"What's so special about this broom?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

"Oh, this is not an ordinary broom." The woman said mysteriously, "This is a flying broom. You can fly freely in the air when you ride on it."

"Flying broom?" Chu Tian said in surprise, "Isn't that the same as those legendary magic flying machines?"

"Yes, and it's easy to operate. You don't even need to learn complicated magic spells." The woman nodded.

"How much does it cost?" Qin Feng asked.

The woman smiled and held up five fingers: "Five hundred gold coins."

"What! Five hundred gold coins?" Zhang Meng shouted, "This is too expensive!"

The woman shook her head. "Young man, you have to understand that a broomstick is a very rare item. Five hundred gold coins is a very fair price."

Qin Feng thought about it and decided to try to bargain: "We are students of the academy, can you give us a discount?"

The woman looked at them and said with a smile, "Since you are students of the academy, four hundred gold coins will be fine."

"It has to be lower." Qin Feng insisted, "Look, this broom is a little worn out."

The woman looked at the broom, then at them, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, three hundred and fifty gold coins, this is my lowest price."

Qin Feng nodded: "Deal!"

He took out the gold coins, paid the money, and picked up the broom.

After buying the brooms, everyone immediately ran to an open space next to the market to try out the effect of the flying brooms. Qin Feng excitedly held the broom and stood in the middle of the open space.

"Everyone watch, I'm about to fly!" Qin Feng said confidently.

After he finished speaking, he sat on the broom and gently tapped the handle of the broom according to the method taught by the woman. Sure enough, the broom began to vibrate, and then suddenly soared into the sky, taking Qin Feng off the ground!

"Wow, it really flies!" Wang Yue exclaimed.

"Watch me!" Qin Feng shouted proudly in the air, trying to control the direction of the broom.

However, the flying broom was obviously not as easy to control as he imagined. It went up and down in the air, as if it was competing with Qin Feng, and was completely out of his control.

"Hey, hey, slow down! Don't fly around!" Qin Feng shouted nervously.

The broom suddenly made a sharp turn, and Qin Feng almost fell off it. Then, it began to spin at high speed, shaking Qin Feng dizzy.

"Help! This broom is going crazy!" Qin Feng shouted, holding the broom tightly and not daring to let go.

The companions below laughed so hard that they fell backwards. Chu Tian shouted loudly: "Qin Feng, do you want us to help?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Help me down quickly!" Qin Feng replied with a bitter face.

Ye Li used Frost Fox to cast an ice chain, trying to pull the broom back to the ground. The chain wrapped around one end of the broom, and Qin Feng finally stabilized it.

"Ah, I'm finally down!" After Qin Feng landed, he quickly jumped off the broom, patted his chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This broom is too difficult to control. Who designed it?" he complained.

"Hahaha, but you looked really funny just now!" Zhang Meng laughed so hard that tears were about to come out.

"Okay, okay, I'll practice again next time." Qin Feng smiled awkwardly and put away the broom.

After finishing the broom test, they continued to visit the market. In a corner, they found a mysterious fortune-telling booth. In front of the booth sat a woman in a cloak, her face hidden in the shadow of the hood, and her face could not be seen clearly.

"Do you want to have some divination?" Wang Yue asked curiously.

"Okay, I'm free anyway." Chu Tian said.

They walked to the fortune-telling stall. The woman raised her head, revealing a pale face with a strange light flashing in her eyes.

"Welcome, what do you want to know?" she asked in a low voice, her voice like a gentle whisper in the ear.

"Uh, can we know our future?" Ye Li asked.

The woman smiled slightly, took out a deck of tarot cards from under the table and began to shuffle the cards.

"Everyone draws a card, and your future will be revealed," she said.

Everyone drew cards in turn, and Qin Feng drew a card with a picture of a person hanging upside down on it.

"What does this mean?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

"This is 'The Hanged Man'. It means you will face a challenge that requires patience and sacrifice," the woman explained.

Then, Chu Tian drew a "Fool" card, and the woman said: "You are about to enter a new adventure and need to face the unknown with wisdom and courage."

Ye Li drew the "Lovers" card. The woman smiled and said, "You will face an important decision. Follow your heart."

Zhang Meng drew a "strength" card, and the woman explained: "You will show your inner strength and overcome a great challenge."

The last card Wang Yue drew was the "Magician". The woman nodded and said, "You will master new skills and show them at important moments."

"Wow, this sounds interesting." said Wang Yue.

"Thank you, ma'am." Qin Feng thanked politely.

The woman smiled and nodded: "May your future be bright."

As the sun slowly set, the magic lights in the market gradually lit up, and the whole market became more charming. Qin Feng and his friends ate many delicious snacks and bought many interesting souvenirs in the market.

"Today was so much fun!" Zhang Meng patted his belly with satisfaction.

"Yes, this market is really special." Ye Li also nodded in agreement.

"We will definitely come again next time." Wang Yue said with a smile.

Just as they were about to leave, a bearded stall owner suddenly ran over with a huge bubble wand in his hand and shouted to them, "Come on, last chance! With my magic bubble wand, you can blow the biggest bubbles and win a mysterious prize!"

"Sounds good, let's try it!" Chu Tian said.

They took turns blowing bubbles with the bubble wands, and finally Zhang Meng blew a huge bubble. The bubble floated in the air for a few seconds, then burst with a "bang", scattering a field of colorful petals.

"Congratulations!" The bearded stall owner smiled and handed Zhang Meng an exquisite box. "This is your mysterious prize!"

Zhang Meng opened the box and found an exquisite magic stone inside, emitting a soft light.

"Wow, this is such an unexpected surprise!" Qin Feng said with a smile.

With full harvest and laughter, Qin Feng and his friends left the magic fair. Today was not only an unforgettable holiday, but also allowed them to experience many interesting new things. In the future, they will continue to meet more challenges and adventures, but on this day, they fully enjoyed the joy brought by the magic world.
