Writing the prices on paper turned out to be a smart move because before long, people had gathered around his stall.

"Boss, is it true that your cabbage only costs 20 crystal cores per pound?"

"Can this vegetable even be eaten? It's so cheap and looks so perfect. Could it be one of those shape-shifting mutated plants?"

"Boss, I can't even tell the degree of mutagenic virus content of your vegetables have. Are they even real?"

"Yeah, exactly! I checked all over, and I can't find any signs that mutated parts were removed. You're not just selling a whole mutated plant, are you?"

"Oh no! That's dangerous! Boss, you can't be so heartless, selling something that could kill us."

"Are you sure the price is right, Boss? Don't tell me you'll suddenly raise the price after I've already paid!"

"Boss, boss…"

"Boss..."

"Can I pay with points? I'm out of crystal cores."

All kinds of curious and questioning voices swirled around Kim Haru's ears, so noisy that he wanted to just pack up his stall and leave!

There were too many people!

Kim Haru mentally blocked out the noise. At first, he still pointed at the price sign to respond, but after a while, he didn't even want to lift a finger.

He only responded to the last question.

"Points won't work."

Kim Haru didn't have a chip and didn't plan on getting one. Besides, the system only accepted crystal cores. What was he supposed to do with points?

The person who'd been rejected slumped in disappointment and quietly withdrew from the crowd.

He still casts a longing glance at the cabbages and potatoes on display several times.

Others might be unsure, but as a plant-type ability user, his sensitivity toward plants was absolutely reliable! He was certain that the vegetables on that stall had an extremely low mutagenic virus content! If it weren't for his strong self-control, he would have rushed over and taken a bite already!

But it wasn't just his self-control keeping him in check—Gwon Damjin was also a little scared of the strange vegetable seller.

Kim Haru, the vegetable seller, just sat there quietly, not saying much, and showed no interest in the crowd around his stall. However, every time Gwon Damjin sent his Snoopgrass toward him to probe the vegetable, they would lose contact with it once they got within half a meter of Kim Haru.

No matter how much Gwon Damjin tried to call them back, there was no response. It was as if the plants had completely vanished from this world!

The first time, Gwon Damjin didn't believe it. The second time, and even the third time, no matter what methods he used—he even sent his only Phantoburr that can turn invisible—all had the same result. Once his plants got close, they were gone, never to return.

Gwon Damjin was terrified.

In his eyes, Kim Haru, who hadn't moved an inch, had become frightening and mysterious. The idea of simply grabbing the vegetables and running away with it was completely banished from his mind.
