Chapter 60：Mysterious magician (1/2)
”Since Mister, only buy it for 50 gold points I guess I can't sell it here,” Yman said while trying to sound regretful.
”.....”
”Wait, Kid!” Shouted the man at the counter. The man has narrowed eyes, a little beard and long black hair that is tied at the back of his head.
When he saw the object in the hand of Yman, he almost choked himself in regrets.
Common quality core had gray-ash color, and the blue inner core is for rare quality materials.
Whereas, Wanderer monsters were known for their high-quality Inner Core. Only this kind of monster or beast had such purple color of Inner Core.
”No way, who wanted to sell such high-quality materials for 50 gold points.” Yman rebutted as he tried to leave the shop.
Regardless, if he could not sell it here, he would just find another buyer through online trading. Although it was riskier. More scammers nowadays online. He could also let the barracks sell it for him. That was part of the agreement. But, Yman wanted to avoid causing trouble to himself.
It was known that the weakest Wanderer beasts were as strong as level 10 magicians. So if Yman went into the barracks and showed the material to them. He was certain that they would rain him with questions.
How did he get it? How did he kill the monster? Such things are very troublesome for him.
So his only choice was to sell it in a buy and sell store.
”Wait, kid, I'm just joking a while ago, hahaha.” The man at the counter said as he clapped his hands near his face and showed a delightful smile.
In his mind, if he succeeded in buying the purple core, he could gain a huge sum of money in return. After all, the purple inner core was one of the rarest cores among all the monster cores.
And this core is hard to gather. Since Wanderer monster or beast tends to roam all over the place looking for victims to be preyed upon. They fought humans, Demi humans, beasts, or monsters alike.
They were the hunters who did not choose which enemy to kill, even monsters of the same species as them.
More on that, they became stronger as they won every fight. So it's hard to kill them. Since they could also use some unique abilities.
”No Mister, I could not trust someone who tried to swindle me just a moment ago. *Sigh!*” Yman replied with a sigh.
”No no, kid, listen up, I-It's just a misunderstanding. We can come up with the right price. I may even extend 10% of the price of your low-quality materials. Just sell that purple core to me. Ahaha, but of course I needed to check it first if it's real or not.”
Said the man.
|10% my ass!| Yman yelled in his mind. This man certainly from a secret fraud society. ”But, Mister, your minimum price for low-quality materials is 50 gold points per gram only. However, the original price is 100 gold points per gram. Isn't that still a scam even if you added 10% on it?”
”.....”
The man was speechless. Looks like he was unveiled.
”Ahaha, no no no, what I mean is 100 gold points per gram. With an addition of 10% for you as a good customer! Hahaha. How about that kid? Wanna do a partnership with me?”
He really did not know how this kid acquired such high-quality material. But he needed it. Even if he added 10-20 percent in every gram of low-quality materials he could still earn a lot of money if he managed to resell the purple core into another buyer.
Yman sighed. He certainly knew what this man was thinking. But his offer was good enough for him. As long as he bought the purple core at its original price. And he could sell his low-quality materials at a slightly higher price. This offer is good enough. But he was certain that this man would flee after that. So that the partnership he mentioned of about a 10% increase in all his low-quality materials would render invalid after this one-time deal.
”Hmm... 10% was not enough. Still too low than the income you may get from reselling the purple core.” Since this man already thought of escaping after this one deal. He should try to increase the price somehow.
'F*** this kid!' The man shouted in his mind.
”S-Sorry kid but, I could only give you a 10% increase. And besides, it's not easy to sell materials nowadays.” He replied.
'Hehe. Too bad kid. You don't know about business! While you are still going, I'm already returning! That's the gap of knowledge in business the two of us had. Hehehe!' His real thought.
Before Yman could reply...
BZZZZZZZZTTTT!!!
His MTMD made a vibrating noise. ”Oh, sorry Mister, I got a call from a friend.” He said and picked the device that was stored in his trousers pocket.
”No problem kid, just go on.” The man said at him with a smile.
No matter what, it's just a call though. What he was most concerned about was the purple core.
However,
”Hello, Bob?” Yman said in a normal volume which the man at the counter could hear him.
”Yes, Yes!”
”What?”
”Is that true?”
The man was wiping the glass with a delighted smile on his face. Waiting for the kid's call to finish.
”A merchant from the empire will be coming here next week and wanted to buy low-quality materials with a 20% increased in price?!” Suddenly, Yman yelled in surprise.
The man's smile suddenly froze upon hearing it. 'The heck, is it true? A merchant from the empire?' The counterman could not believe.
”Really?” Yman continued talking on his MTMD.
”Yeah, that's good news!”
”What? That's not all?” While Yman was talking, the surprise of his face was very literal.
”He is also buying rare and high-quality materials with a 30 percent increase?!”
