Chapter 60：Mysterious magician (2/2)

The counterman had sweats forming on his face. Looks like his plan will be ruined.

”Damn, that merchant sure thing is a rich man.”

The man was thinking of who was this merchant? If it's true, then the more he needed to buy the purple core before that damn merchant came here.

Actually, before the change in price was announced to the public. The legislation would give a margin of 1 - 2 weeks prior, before it would announced to the public.

Just last night he received a message from one of his trusted friends working in the commissioner department that there would be an increase in price for all the high-quality materials because of low supply and high demands. The price would increase two-times the original price.

So it was only natural that some of the merchants would send their people into the other cities to scout for some high-quality materials. So what this kid said wasn't really illogical.

More sweats were surfacing on the man's forehead as he thought of money slipping from his hands.

”Okay, Bob, I guess I'll wait for that merchant.”

Yman said with delight. It was evident that he was grateful for the news he got.

But before he ended the call, the man growled and said that he would increase the price higher than the merchant.

A smirk silently appeared on Yman's mouth as he said, ”Sorry, Bob, I've got a better deal here, so I may pass for now with the merchant's offer.” He said and ended the call.”

On the other side, Bob was having a stunned and puzzled face. He called Yman to ask him about the Open Forum tomorrow. But Yman was talking about something he could not understand.

Yman was thankful for Bob's timing at calling him.

Actually, Yman already knew about the price hike. It was easy to figure out, online. Because some of the dealers seemed to be improperly increasing the price of high-quality materials in the online market. And even so, the price increased, the material still sold out in no time.

In the online market, almost all of the products were being posted there repeatedly. So it was easy to figure out which materials are lacking.

But these past days, there were no high-quality materials being posted. So Yman had guessed that something was amiss.

Finally, Yman was able to sell the purple crystal with a 50% price increase, 30% on rare quality materials, and 20% to low-quality materials. Yet he believed that the man at the counter was still able to get a good commission after he resells those materials.

Although, it depends on his business strategy. After proving that the materials were genuine the deal was concluded.

Actually, Yman had more rare materials and low quality than those two high-quality.

If he wanted to gain more, he just needed to wait for a few days when the price-hike will be announced. But he needed money now. He had to finish his mission before the time limits. And needed to buy a Level 2 Syringe of Advancement for him to advance into Level 2.

Before he left the store, the man in the counter asked him if how he got the purple core. Since he could not believe that such an unhealthy and sick-looking person could manage to kill a Wanderer monster. And the kid did not look strong no matter how the man looked at him.

Yman forced a dry laugh. Fortunately, he remembered about the mysterious girl Miss Ice. He replied saying, ”A mysterious magician just asked me to run an errand.” After scratching the back of his head he finally left the store.

The man was puzzled though. But, anyway, he did not give care on it and just pushed it at the back of his mind. Then he hastily contacted some business partners.

Yman next went to the smithing shop. And asked for an item that suits the ability the Magic Cryst holds.

It was the same round person who was at the counter when he first came here. When he entered, that person was sitting on the chair in the same position as before. With his face covered with the straw hat and his deity was resting on top of his bulging belly.

When he showed the Magic Cryst, the man finally took an interest and stood up. Then he took the Cryst from Yman and examined it. Probably he was appraising it.

Yman's guess when he first came here was proven right. The man was really wearing an eyepatch with the design of an eye. The eye design was familiar to him though. Similar to the eye on his teacher's mask.

He wanted to ask but he assumed that he would not get a truthful reply.

The fat man asked him to come back tomorrow because he would prepare the item. Then he returned the Magic Cryst to Yman. It would be attached tomorrow when the item was ready. But before he left, the man measured Yman's hand first.

After leaving the smithing shop, he directly went to the market and bought some food and other stuff.

After buying all the stuff needed. He directly rode on a carriage.

Yman was contemplating while inside the carriage.

|*Sigh!* Going on the market was so tiring, huh. Wait, I have something I need to do. To order a level 2 Syringe of Advancement.| He thought and then took his MTMD. He directly brows on the main website of Seeker's Association.

|Not only the Seeker Association fought against monsters. They were also one of the most trusted suppliers of Syringe of Advancement.

After issuing my order, I will only need to wait 5 hours for the item to arrive. Of course, I was filling up some forms before the order was made. Since, they must know my address.|

|Oh, right. I have to buy a head part for Sistela. This will be helpful to appraise the monster's strength. After all, it is useful to know the enemy's capability in a fight.|

After several minutes,

”Welcome back, bro!” Yana greeted him with a warm smile.

”I'm back,” Yman replied and sat beside her then patted her head.

Someone came out from the kitchen. Yman glanced and saw Sistela. She was keeping the laundry into the restroom and boiled some water.

Sistela shouted. Actually, she just recovered her battery and now she had to do the house chores.

Yman chuckled. Although Sistela was sometimes mean to him. But she was a big help to him and his sister.

”Don't worry, My Deity, your head is coming.” He said with a grin.

”Ehehe, he was only teasing you, Sister Sistela.”

Yana chuckled.
