Chapter 58 Greatest Scam Ever (1/2)
As Han Xiao was wondering if he could perform transactions with players, he began to laugh shadily.
”Hey kid, not bad. I only sell my goods to people I like, and I like you.”
Frenzied Sword's jaw dropped.
'My favorability dropped, but he still says that he likes me‽'

'Confirm.'
A shop window immediately popped up. The window was divided into two sections. The left section was titled 'Item Shop', and there was a system hint saying that it was possible for Han Xiao to put up items on display even if they were not currently on his person. The right section was titled 'Skill Shop', where Han Xiao could put his own skills up for sale. Han Xiao fiddled around with the settings.

So far, Han Xiao had been dealing in Aquamarine's international currency—the Aquamarine Dollar. The 'Inar' was the standard universal currency. Han Xiao discovered to his surprise that the shop function allowed him to set the item price in any currency that he had ever come into contact with.
An idea suddenly came to Han Xiao. 'I can set favorability requirements to manipulate—I mean—attract players to keep coming back for quests!'
Han Xiao was reminded of how he had spent long hours grinding out high difficulty quests just to achieve exalted status with the Alliance of Light—all for the sake of a battleship.
Now, however, the tables had turned.
'This interface is the best!'
A shop interface popped up in front of Frenzied Sword. As he scanned through the items, his eyes began to widen in disbelief.
”Godly equips!” he blurted.
”[Retractable Knife], [Incendiary Bullets], [73-Wasp], [Jackson Assault Rifle], [Bayonet Rifle]…”
Frenzied Sword was shaking uncontrollably. To him, all of these were 'godly equips' that would allow him to surpass any other player!
However, his expression changed when he looked at their price tags. It was as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over him.
Even the cheapest of them, the [Incendiary Bullets], cost a hundred dollars each, while the [Lightweight Mecha Arm] required 10 favorability!
'This is daylight robbery! And how am I supposed to gain favorability with this NPC when completing his quests reduces it instead‽
'No wonder this NPC's danger level is so high. It's definitely still too early to interact with him.'
But Frenzied Sword only knew true pain when he took a look at the Skill Shop.
[Basic Combat], [Basic Shooting], [Submission]… the sight of these skills caused Frenzied Sword to start drooling… until he saw their prices.
There was also a [Mechanic Class Change Tome], and an array of Mechanic skills, but none of them were as eye-catching as the [Energy Training Technique]!
”Godly skill!”
Han Xiao shook his head upon seeing Frenzied Sword's reaction.
”You aren't a Technician, so you are unable to learn it.”
By now, Han Xiao had already been solidified as a Secret NPC in Frenzied Sword's mind.
'If I can make him my teacher, I will definitely become rank 1 in no time!
'But… I really wanted to be a Pugilist…'
That much was obvious from his in-game name.
