The mont Kim Haru heard that bigger eggs had a higher chance of hatching cows, he beca even more determined to buy the largest ones.
"Thank you." Kim Haru expressed his gratitude, then turned back and handed over his chosen eggs to the vendor. "I'll take all five of these."
The Fire-type ability user: "…"
So this guy didn't listen to a single word I just said?
He actually thought Kim Haru thanked him because he had changed his mind.
Oh well, let him be.
He'll regret it soon enough when all the eggs hatch into a bunch of big, dumb, useless creatures.
Since the five eggs he just bought were all still alive, Kim Haru didn't store them directly in his system backpack in front of so many people.
Instead, he went to a stall nearby, run by soone from Pyeongseong Safe Zone, and bought a basket.
After lining it with a layer of fur to keep the eggs warm, he carefully placed them inside.
The vendor selling the baskets turned out to be a familiar face—it was the sa elderly woman he had first commissioned to weave a carrying basket.
Now, after having enough to eat and drink and regaining her health, she had even awakened an ability.
Although her ability didn't have much potential—at best, it could only reach Level 1 peak—it was still an ability, sothing even her daughter hadn't managed to awaken.
The elderly woman had been utterly shocked by the discovery.
But after the initial surprise ca uncontrollable joy.
Her ability turned out to be Plant-type ability, and whether it was due to the vines Kim Haru had given her or not, she found that while she wasn't very skilled at controlling most plants, manipulating vines ca naturally to her.
The vines she produced weren't particularly hard nor poisonous, but they had impressive flexibility.
Since they weren't much use in combat, she simply returned to her old craft and started weaving containers with them.
To her surprise, business was booming.
At this trade gathering, baskets and carrying slings woven with her vines were in high demand, and there was a steady stream of custors at her stall.
When Kim Haru ca over to buy one, the elderly woman insisted on giving it to him for free.
Even after he firmly refused, she still gave him a buy-one-get-one-free deal, selecting the two best-crafted, most intricate baskets for him.
With a basket full of eggs in hand, Kim Haru deliberately walked toward a secluded corner.
Once he ensured that no one was paying attention, he swiftly stored the eggs in his system backpack.
Afterward, he wandered around a few nearby stalls at random, casually browsing.
When he saw that it was almost noon—the ti they had agreed to et—he slowly made his way toward the designated location.
He had arranged to et Go Okrim and Kang Hose at the entrance of the trading street, so he started heading back in that direction.
As he walked, he noticed people beginning to gather toward one spot.
What's going on?
Kim Haru's attention was drawn to the commotion.
Just then, a vaguely familiar face passed by him.
Kim Haru reached out and stopped the person, asking, "What happened? Where is everyone going?"
The passerby was about to shake off the unexpected grip in annoyance, but when he turned his head and recognized Kim Haru, his attitude imdiately changed.
He eased up and answered, "Oh, it's you, Mr. Kim. I heard there's a fight up ahead. One of the parties involved is from the Haneulsae Safe Zone, but I don't know the details yet."
Haneulsae Safe Zone?
Kim Haru was surprised by their audacity.
Hadn't they already learned their lesson last ti?
Releasing his grip on the man, Kim Haru decided to follow the crowd and see what was going on.
The patrol team would probably arrive soon, but until they did, it was better for him to keep an eye on things—especially since this was the Pyeongseong Safe Zone's territory, and it was only the first day of the trade fair.
From what the bystanders were saying, Kim Haru had only gathered that one side of the argunt involved people from Haneulsae Safe Zone.
However, when he arrived at the scene, he discovered that the other party was actually from the Pyeongseong Safe Zone.
It was soone familiar.
That cold-faced woman was none other than Song Hayoon from the Caeruleus Draco Squad.
Calling it an argunt didn't quite capture the situation—right now, it looked more like the people from the Haneulsae Safe Zone were trying to take Song Hayoon away.
"Hey, brother, what's going on here? I got here late, fill in."
The passerby who had co with Kim Haru eagerly went ahead to gather information.
Soon enough, soone who had witnessed the entire event from beginning to end openly shared everything.
That was when Kim Haru learned that before entering the Bangnang Safe Zone, Song Hayoon had actually been a part of the Haneulsae Safe Zone—and not just any ordinary mber.
Her real na was Oh Yoorin, and she was the eldest daughter of Oh Daehan, the current head of the Haneulsae Safe Zone's logistics departnt.
"Oh Daehan?" The na sounded vaguely familiar to Kim Haru.
He was sure he had heard it sowhere before, though not often enough for him to imdiately recall when or where.
The Pyeongseong Safe Zone local beside him, however, seed to be quite knowledgeable about these nas. "Last autumn, the Draco Virtus Squad that ca here included soone nad Oh Yongho—that's Oh Daehan's son."
At the ntion of the Draco Virtus Squad, Kim Haru's mory clicked.
That was the ability users team that had incited trouble for his vegetable shop.
After being put under house arrest, they had still attempted to stir up trouble, which ultimately led to the Haneulsae Safe Zone trading team abandoning them.
After that, Kim Haru hadn't paid them much attention.
The last he had heard, most of them had ended up dead.
