Chapter 544: The Popular Magic Music Box
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The Elven Magic Music Box is a treasure that nobles eagerly chase after. Last time, the young master of the Mammoth Trade Union spent two hundred thousand units of resources to buy it at an auction.”
Felix couldn’t help but sneer disdainfully.
He had heard the sound of the music box right beside him at that time!
Felix explained to them about how the music box worked, and the women were full of praise for him.
“Molly, how much did you spend on this box?”
Felix turned to look at the young girl next to him. She was dressed in a fiery red dress with heavy makeup on her face.
‘TOOO rare resources!” Molly said after hesitating a bit.
Felix sighed. Molly must have earned that amount of money through a lot of hard work. Even for Felix, he could sustain himself for several months with that number of rare resources.
1000?” said Felix. “If the music box was fictional, it would cause several thousand f rare resources. Maybe you were scammed. You should go and ask for your resources back.”
His words started a heated discussion among the women. Some mocked Molly for being so naive, while others consoled her.
“No. I wasn’t scammed. This was sold by the Lavender Business Guild. It can’t be fake!” said Molly.
‘The same Lavender Business Guild who came up with the ice cream?’ Felix frowned.
It was said that the Lavender Business Guild had connections with the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce and the Phoenix Tail Trading Company Even the most prominent figures in the underground world of the Northern City dared not offend them.
How could such a major guild possibly sell counterfeit goods?
“I saw the goblin shopkeeper play wonderful music from the box,” Molly said through gritted teeth.
She lowered her head and continued fiddling with the music box.
She had been so eager that she hadn’t paid proper attention when the goblin was explaining to her how to use it.
She became frustrated. No matter what she did, the box didn’t produce any sound.
Felix couldn’t help but shake his head. ‘Foolish woman… It is impossible to get a real music box for that price…’
“Buttercream, will you accompany me tonight?”
His wish of spending the night with Molly was shattered. He turned to look at the plump woman beside him.
“Of course! I’ve been waiting for you, Master Felix.” The plump woman nodded.
It didn’t matter who accompanied him.
Felix lost interest in Molly’s toy box for now.
He grabbed the woman’s hand and led her upstairs. He had been planning to try something new for a few days now. Tonight was the time to try it out.
“It works! It seems the energy crystal at the back was placed wrongly!” cried a voice in surprise as Felix reached the stairs.
Before he could respond, the key turned in the box, and the whole room was filled with beautiful music.
Felix was overwhelmed and entranced by the sound.
The ethereal singing struck his soul.
He turned and saw that the box had closed, and heart-wrenching music emanated from inside.
Felix instinctively opened his mouth wide and stood there dumbstruck.
‘HOW is this possible? woo units of rare resources were enough for an Elven Magic Music Box!’
He recalled the young master of the Mammoth Trading Company spending two hundred thousand rare resources to buy a music box.
That expensive music box was inferior compared to this one in the music it produced.
He was excited. He released the plump woman’s hand and walked quickly to the table.
Felix stared fixedly at the Magic Music Box that poured out song and music.
He didn’t know the name of the song, but it was very moving. He felt it in his very soul.
It wasn’t just a solo performance either. The song was performed beautifully with many instruments in the background.
Felix, like the women around him, stared at the small box on the table in a daze. He didn’t know how much time had passed, but the song gradually faded.
When Felix came to his senses, he instinctively looked at the shabby dwarf clock on the wall. He was horrified. ‘The song played for half an hour?!’
The Elven Magic Music Box could play for only three to five minutes at most! This was unbelievable.
As the last note stopped, another voice suddenly rang out.
“Hello, everyone. I am the performer of these songs. I’m also a member of the Night Elf Royal Family. My name is Faye.” In the days to come, I will be singing more of my own compositions. I hope everyone will continue to support me Thank you, my loyal fans. I will always stand by your side, no matter how difficult and dark things get. My singing will accompany you always. Love you all.”
When Felix heard that voice, he felt like his soul was about to ascend to the
heavens. ‘She loves her fans… she loves me!’
‘Who is Faye? With a name and a voice like that, she must be beautiful!’
“Are there any more of the songs? Is there another song from Princess Faye?
Quick, play it again!” Felix looked at Molly.
“No, there isn’t. Princess Faye only has three sound tapes. I didn’t buy any of them. This was a free gift that came with the box,” said Molly.
“You could buy a Magic Music Box and receive a free sound tape for just one thousand rare resources?” said Felix in astonishment. “Who could be this generous?”
“0 told you. It’s the Lavender Business Guild! They only charge looo units of rare resources for it. Felix, do you believe me now?” Molly asked with a smile.
“Let’s stop here for today. I want to go see if there’s any more of these music boxes left!” said Felix.
He turned around without hesitation and rushed out of the room. As he thought more about it, his excitement grew. His slow jog turned into a sprint as he headed toward the Lavender Business Guild.
When Felix arrived at the shop with the Lavender Business Guild’s logo hanging over it, he was surprised to find that it was already packed with people.
Moreover, many others were rushing over as well.
“Please give me a Magic Music Box!” He squeezed into the crowd in a hurry.
“I have resources. I have resources!”
The Lavender Business Guild had ample stock.
Felix successfully purchased the Magic Music Box.
Felix chuckled happily as he got a music box similar to Molly’s.
Then, he bought all the sound tapes available.
Similar things happened in Canglan City every day. People rushed to buy the music boxes in droves. The scene reminded everyone of the times in the 1960s and 1970s when goods were scarce and people rushed to panic-buy anything they could find..
