"I am prepared to pay for the termination fee." She overheard their conversation that Theo just took the mission before coming here. So, if he wanted to cancel it, he needed to pay the termination fee because of the loss of time. Even though it was only two hours or so, it was mandatory.
And with the girl paying the termination fee, he could sell the Purple Haze Grass at full price since the former needed the Purple Haze Grass to treat her injury.
In fact, because people often got injured on the other side, Purple Haze Grass was always in high demand.
Normally, one would take pity when they saw a girl going all the way to call him to buy Purple Haze Grass, especially in her condition, but Theo simply ignored her and looked at Raith. "Anyway, this is your three Purple Haze Grass. Please submit the mission."
What Theo wanted was not entirely the money. He also wished to get the Contribution Points, so he could increase his privilege level.
"Wha—" The girl was shocked at first, but Theo turned back and said, "Alright. How many Purple Haze Grass do you want?"
"Huh?" The girl tilted her head in confusion, never expecting to hear this kind of question from Theo. After all, he just submitted his Purple Haze Grass.
Little did she know Theo still had forty of them.
"I want everything you have… That is if you have more." She hurriedly replied because she was about to post a mission for the Purple Haze Grass too.
"You sure?" Theo furrowed his eyebrows.
"Yes. I can buy each grass for 400,000 Zils. It's higher than the mission earlier," she said without hesitation.
'Ah, rich kid?' Theo thought for a moment and said, "Okay. I can sell it to you, but please do it through the missions. I don't mind if you give me just 350,000 Zils per grass if you go through the mission."
What Theo wanted was Contribution Points together with money, so he thought this should be enough.
"Okay." She nodded. "We can use your personal assistant to handle the mission."
"Good."
Not long after, Raith returned to Theo, bringing good news. "I have contacted him. He said it's okay to buy everything."
"Then I will submit all of them." Theo took out the remaining Undead Flesh Card and said, "By the way, is it alright to get a private room? This lady here is going to make a personal request too."
Raith pondered for a moment and acknowledged the request. He got a little bit of commission from Theo's mission anyway, so he thought it was fine to handle this much problem.
"Sure. I will guide both of you to the room." Raith led them to the third floor, so they could finish the matter.
Meanwhile, the woman was curious about how much Purple Haze Grass he could fork out, considering it was quite rare grass nowadays.
Upon entering the room, Raith opened his Skylink to register Theo's mission. "I have added the Contribution Points for you and because of the amount that needs to be transferred, you'll receive the money within 24 hours. Each Undead Flesh Card gives you 500 points and the Purple Haze Grass also gives you the same. As for the Megalo Fish, it gives you 1,000 contribution points."
"Good." Theo nodded and checked his Illusionist Card.
Name: Joker
Level: 193
Attributes: Strength A, Endurance C, Agility B, Vitality C, Magic Power A
Health Problem: -
Privilege: -
Kill: 2849 (+)
Zils: 140,000
Contribution Points: 18,700 (18,700)
Theo smiled as he got a total of eighteen thousand Contribution Points and almost reached Silver Level Privilege, where he could buy Rank B and Rank C cards from this place.
And he had one more person he could use to increase his range. He quickly glared at the woman as if implying she needed to hurry up. "Please."
The woman nodded and called Raith to give her the form to fill, issuing the mission.
It took her ten minutes to fill everything and set it to Theo's personal request.
"I have certainly received the form." Raith nodded. "I'll repeat it. The mission will be to search for Purple Haze Grass, and each grass will be rewarded 350,000 Zils and 150 Contribution Points. The mission will be continuous until Sir Joker runs out of supplies. Is that correct?"
"Yeah." She nodded.
"I understand. Please wait a minute. I will record the mission." Raith then left them for a moment.
Meanwhile, Theo looked at the woman in silence.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Risa… Ehm, Just Risa." She smiled, barely stopping herself before she told him her full name. "I accidentally saw your Illusionist Card. Sorry."
"It's fine." Theo shrugged, knowing there wasn't much to be seen there.
"By the way, how many grasses can you fork out?" Risa asked with a serious expression. "You surely won't sell only one, right?"
Risa tried to pry the information by checking his reaction, considering Theo seemed to be confident with the amount of his Purple Haze Grass.
Theo shrugged, not wanting to scare the girl to the point she retracted the offer. "Let's wait until Raith comes back."
"You're boring." She smiled, feeling that Theo might be better than reported. After all, the mission he took was usually for Hero Rank or someone close to it and they would go there with a group.
Yet, the one before him did it alone, considering he didn't even flinch when Raith sent the Contribution Points.
Not long after, Raith sent the mission to Theo and returned to the room. "I have sent the mission. Please submit the Purple Haze Grass."
Theo nodded and took out a total of 40 Purple Haze Grass, stunning the woman as she didn't expect to spend so much for a single mission. In fact, five Purple Haze Grass should allow her to recover by tomorrow. She never thought she would buy so much and realized she had been had.
Raith knew that the situation would be serious, but he simply followed the mission and marked it completed forty times, sending Theo his 6,000 Contribution Points while the money would be sent later.
Theo smiled at the lady and shamelessly said, "Thank you for your patronage." And escaped from the room without waiting for her reply.
Surprisingly, the lady wasn't angry at him. Instead, her lips curved. After all, it wasn't easy to gather all these materials with his level.
The card needed to be updated in six months and his level was only 193 on his card. With the number of monsters and the missions he took, he should have reached level 230 if not level 240, within six months on top of that. It was a rare talent in her eyes.
"Interesting. Joker, is it?" She smiled and shouted at Theo, who just escaped. "If it's someone else, you just end their life with debt, you know!"
