At the moment, not many people knew about Lin Da's strategy, just those two thousand or so people in the hall of the Adventurer's Guild in White Dove City.It would take a few days for his strategy video to spread.
Thus, the adventurers in the square were unaware of how many rare treasures were stuffed in the big pocket of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team.
Lin Da and his team arrived at a firm called "Chilang."
In a small private room, Lin Da spilled all the equipment and Demon Cores he planned to sell onto the table in one go.
Seeing the small mountain of spoils, the brown-haired elf manager tasked with receiving them was dumbfounded.
Glowing with both purple and orange light, it was dazzling and heart-stoppingly beautiful.
Other adventure teams would sell one purple gear at a time, which was already quite a lot. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
But this Mr. Lin Da, he brought along 13 purple pieces of gear, and 1 orange!
This big transaction could easily make this elf manager the procurement champion of the month!
The elf's name was Queci, and her voice trembled with excitement, her eyes gleaming watery at Lin Da, sticky as glue.
In order to facilitate this deal, Queci would not hesitate to kneel in front of Lin Da... The competition to purchase magical equipment was fierce, and various firms offered numerous benefits.
Lin Da gazed thoughtfully at the elf Queci's black body-hugging skirt and the smooth shiny black stockings that clung to her slender legs below.
"Monica, Kafni, could you two wait for me in the hall for a bit? I need to discuss something important with Miss Queci."
If this service was incidental, Lin Da, a weary adventurer just out of the Mystic Realm, might as well rest a bit.
Kafni chuckled, flicking her waist-length golden hair, and walked out of the private room holding Monica's hand.
That chuckle, Lin Da always felt it had a deeper meaning, but it seemed unlikely. Kafni had been covering her backside at night when she first came to this world, wary of his attacks...
"Mr. Lin Da, I am starting now~" Queci smiled and turned off the magic lamp, squatting down like a servant.
This beautiful elf manager tucked her brown hair behind her ears and began what was called a "healing" magic.
Lin Da's expression relaxed, like a weary traveler stepping into a hot spring.
All the fatigue and hunger disappeared in the enveloping warmth of the spring water.
...
Both parties also bargained during this process.
Shrewd merchants would take advantage of adventurers' weaknesses, relentlessly driving down prices to extract the maximum profit.
Appear to be extra benefits? Actually, a big mistake—the amount deducted from the gold coins could easily enable adventurers to seek out many more Elf Misses!
"Ugh ugh, level 6 purple gear, one piece for 200 gold coins... Orange gear...800 gold coins..."
Queci looked at Lin Da with a seductive expression, pushing the prices to their lowest.
However, as soon as the word "gold coins" was mentioned, Lin Da's previously blank mind was instantly filled with various figures!
His attention shifted from Queci, the pretty elf, to the equipment prices—level 6 purple gear for 200 gold coins a piece, did Queci take him for a fool?
"You cunning elf."
Lin Da spoke displeased,
"Ugh ahh, Mr., Queci made a mistake!"
It did not take long for Queci to lose the battle.
She found it funny yet helpless to realize that Lin Da was unlike all her previous clients; he was meticulous about the price and very familiar with the market conditions.
Her efforts could not even lower the price by half a gold coin.
This even caused Lin Da's focus to shift, and what originally took Queci ten minutes to bestow benefits, now took twenty, even thirty minutes.
That infuriating Lin Da, he completely exhausted her!
After a lengthy discussion, they finally settled on a price.
Queci sat on the small sofa across from him, holding a cup of tea to rinse her mouth, gulping it down, with the priced list in her hand:
Level 6 Purple Gear, 5 pieces, purchase price 1500 gold.
Level 6 Orange Gear, 1 piece, 1200 gold.
Level 7 Purple Gear, 6 pieces, 2200 gold,
Level 8 Purple Gear, 5 pieces, 2000 gold.
A bunch of various levels of ordinary Demon Cores, 1700 gold.
Level 1, 2 and 3 Secret Realm Guardian Demon Cores, 1600 gold.
The remaining Metal Slime Sword and Shield, hidden Magical Creatures Metal Slime and Goblin Chieftain Demon Cores, Wolf Fang Club, Lin Da kept for himself.
He planned to collect the first two, and for the last he would find personal buyers to avoid the firm taking a cut. The ordinary Demon Cores and purple gear, he preferred to sell in one go for convenience. Explore more at M V L
Queci wiped her lips, and despite feeling bitter, her face still wore a professional smile:
"Sir, your total selling price is 11400 gold coins, and together with your 30140 gold coins, all will be stored onto the Savings Card through our firm... Our firm has transferred a total of 41540 gold coins into your account, please check."
Lin Da took the white statement, reviewed it for correctness.
He pressed his large hand on it, magic stirred, leaving a magic fingerprint.
He took out a red Savings Card from the Southern Fire Empire and handed it to Queci.
Queci placed the Savings Card in a square black box, operated it for a while, and the gold coins were transferred in.
When Lin Da checked it, he found the balance was much more than he expected, reaching 141540 gold coins!
Where did the extra 100000 come from?
Lin Da had Queci display the detailed bill and finally realized, it was from the Ice Flower Adventure Team's public account, transferring 100000 gold coins to him.
This was for a pre-order of Metal Destroyer Potion.
Previously, when Isa invited Lin Da for lunch, she had asked for his Savings Card number. Perhaps at that time, Isa had envisioned one day entering into a partnership with him.
