Martial God Gamer-13 Chapter 13
The streets was full of people it was very lively
with the merchants wearing colorful cloth entertain customers, inviting them to their shop. Chen Ming, along with the now very beautiful Xiao Wen, walked close to each other through many shops with smile on their face
Chen Ming while walking around with interest like a child encountered something new. He found many interesting things. If he could bring these items back to his world. He was sure that he could earn a lot of money by selling them.
They walk around until Chen Ming notice that Xiao Wen looked at something
Chen Ming saw what it is only smiled and said
“Hey Xiao Wen Sis, what do you think of this piece of jade? is it pretty”
Chen Ming picked up a piece of jade before asking Xiao Wen. Xiao Wen only shook her head and smiled at Chen Ming.
“Young Master, I have to apologize. Xiao Wen had no knowledge of jade. therefore unable to give advice.”
Chen Ming smiled back. He had seen her looking at this piece of jade for a long time, and as he picked up this piece of jade, He saw Xiao Wen's eyes never looking away from it. He thought that she would like it. Young women have always been interested in jewelry. and although she had no knowledge of jade, of course he had the way to verify it

--------------------
Chen Ming wanted to buy this jade for Xiao Wen as a gift.
“How much is this?”
The merchant selling this jade was not a normal merchant. He wasn't wearing fancy clothes, but was wearing tattered clothes. He was selling this jade in the middle of the market with a single piece of cloth spread on the ground. He looked hesitant to part with this jade. He probably needed the money for some reason.
"Young Master this jade is the last piece of my inheritance that I have left. I don't want money But I want to trade it for Snow Ginseng.”
The people who were walking around heard that the poor merchant wanted Snow Ginseng as a payment. They all looked at him as if he had gone insane.
“Snow Ginseng is not something that money can buy. It was an important ingredient for refining an Earth Profound level pill. Hmm, did you really think this worthless jade is worth that much! Whoever pays for it is a fool.”
“Shameless, It is not even worth ten years old ginseng, let alone snow ginseng.”
The people started to go into insulting mode. They're just too much. What is it about them? Chen Ming didn't understand.
“Social bullying, no matter the world, is still the same.”
Chen Ming sighed. He didn’t have Snow Ginseng. He wanted to give this piece of jade to Xiao Wen to thank her for taking care of him. Chen Ming thought for a moment before asking.
“Merchant, I don't have Snow Ginseng. and I thought that there might not be any people around here who have it as well. Or if they had, they wouldn't exchange it for this piece of jade. Merchant, I would like to ask some questions. Will it be alright?”
The poor merchant listened and thought the same thing as Chen Ming. He looked at Chen Ming and think he was a good person maybe he could help him
“It’s alright Young Master, please ask.”
Chen Ming nodded before asking.
“Merchant, why do you want Snow Ginseng?”
The merchant's expression after hearing the question darkened and filled with despair before speaking.
“Young Master, the reason why I want Snow Ginseng is to bring it to heal my daughter. She was the last treasure I had in this world. If she leaves, I have nothing left. Young Master, please help me.”
Chen Ming when heard that he feel sad for some reason
He was usually someone who was sympathetic. It made him want to help people if he can. He might not be able to help everyone. But whoever he could help, he wants to help. Chen Ming believed in the law of karma. Doing good things and good thing will happen to you
“Merchant, if I can help your daughter Will the merchant give this jade to me?”
The poor merchant, hearing that, his dark eyes brightened.
“Of course, let alone jade. I am ready to give my life to you.”
Chen Ming smiled before nodding his head.
“Merchant, please take me to your daughter.”
The merchant nodded before hurriedly getting up. He bowed to Chen Ming. before leading him in one direction within Duan Yang City.
The place he was leading Chen Ming and Xiao Wen into was a less developed area within the city. There are no beautiful houses here. But it's just a wooden shed built from rough wood put together, it can only be used to protect from rain and sun. It wouldn't be able to help with the cold that much.
Chen Ming looked around. This is like a poor slum. Chen Ming walked in, it looked dirty and poor, but he didn't care. and followed the merchant without hesitation. As a result, he gained even more respect from Xiao Wen.
“Young Master, please come this way. This is my little home with my little daughter. It might be a disgrace that I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Zhong Yang. As for my little daughter, her name is Diao Lin.”
Chen Ming smiled before speaking.
"It's alright, don't worry. My name is Chen Ming. As for this beautiful young lady, her name was Xiao Wen. my sister"
Chen Ming introduced himself. Xiao Wen looked at Chen Ming with wide eyes. The girl's face was slightly red because Chen Ming had introduced her as a beautiful young lady. and also it felt good that he called her a sister instead of servant.
“Chen Ming… AH!!! It's you! the heir of the Chen Clan who rules over the city, Young Master Chen, I don't think it is you, please forgive my stupidity!”
Zhong Yang knelt down and apologized to Chen Ming. Chen Ming furrowed his brows together before stopping Zhong Yang before it was too much.
“Stop it Mr Zhong Yang, I told you not to worry. I'm not an evil person, I might have a bad reputation. But I never hurt anyone for no reason.”
Zhong Yang, hearing that, was embarrassed. He was afraid of Chen Ming,
He only listens to rumors and never sees them with his own eyes.
“Well leave it aside, your daughter's situation is more important. Please take me to meet your daughter."
“Please, young master.”
Zhong Yang led Chen Ming into his shed. Inside the shed was a young girl lying in a blanket. Chen Ming looked at her face. This girl has a cute face. But her lovely face was now very pale.
Chen Ming immediately check her status

“She doesn't have the surname Zhong, but Sun?”
Chen Ming's brows furrowed together. He wanted to ask Zhong Yang about this as to why he had lied to him, but when he thought about it, he probably had a reason. And asking about it might turn out to be a big deal. Chen Ming examined Zhong Yang's name and found that his family was the normal Zhong family. Plus, his profound level was just an ordinary person.
“Really weird”
And while Chen Ming was hesitating, he received a message.
