Chapter 332: One Hundred Thousand Doomsday Coins
Translator: 549690339 |
Song Jian first mailed Anne the heart of the Zombie Demon, followed by displaying a Level One Ghost Pearl to her.
“Does your group accept this kind of forging material?” Song Jian asked.
He’d seen this material at the auction house before, but they were rare, selling for about one hundred and fifty Doomsday Coins each. If Anne gave an offer that was too low, he’d take it to the auction for sale.
“A Ghost Pearl? Hmm, they are hard to obtain. I know of a Level Thirty secret realm, the Dark Castle. To pass its challenges, you need at least a hundred and twenty points in shadow resistance…” Anne’s voice was calm, but Song Jian could tell something was off, like when someone discovers a rare find in an antique store and tries to hide their excitement from the dealer.
“How much would your group pay for one?” Song Jian interrupted Anne, asking her directly.
Anne was quite excited at this moment. She hadn’t expected Song Jian to actually possess a Level One Ghost Pearl. She had been trying to compose herself during the call, while contemplating what price she could offer for this pearl.
A Ghost Pearl adds ten points to shadow resistance. While ten sounds negligible, in the Dark Castle, it could make a deadly attack become only slightly more dangerous, providing the opportunity for a priest to heal the Main Tank (MT) during a Boss fight.
“Hm, while Ghost Pearls are rare, they are just Level One materials. Our group can’t offer a high price. If it’s a bulk purchase, we can talk, but for just one, I’m willing to pay a hundred and eighty Doomsday Coins!” Anne weighed up various factors for a long time before giving a price.
Song Jian nodded satisfactorily. This price was slightly higher than the auction house’s, and it met his expectations. But at that moment, a thought struck him. What did she mean by higher prices for more items? More items meant a higher price?
Usually, wasn’t it that the more you sell, the cheaper the price?
“Do you mean to say that the more I have, there would be a slight increase in the price?” Song Jian asked.
“Yes, if there’s more than ten, I can go up to two hundred Doomsday Coins!” Anne’s heartbeat sped up slightly. Song Jian raising this question obviously meant he had more than just one pearl.
“And if I had more?” Song Jian asked, testing the waters.
Anne took a deep breath to calm herself, saying in a single breath, “If it’s above thirty, two hundred and thirty Doomsday Coins, fifty for two hundred and sixty Doomsday Coins. If you have a hundred altogether, I can offer three hundred Doomsday Coins per pearl!”
After stating the price, Anne couldn’t help but laugh. A hundred Ghost Pearls would require the hunting of at least a hundred and fifty ghost-class monsters that possessed a Demon Bloodline.
Such beasts were usually much stronger than their peers at the same level, and they were not something an average ranker could handle.
Leaving aside the difficulty of locating so many beasts, even if they were available, at least a team of three hundred rankers would be needed to hunt them down.
“I have a total of one hundred and ten Level One Ghost Pearls. Let’s deal at the rate of three hundred Doomsday Coins per pearl as you’d offered!” Song Jian stated.
Anne was stunned, unsure if she was hearing things.
“Can you please repeat what you just said? Plow many Ghost Pearls do you have?” Anne could barely believe her ears.
“One hundred and ten!” Song Jian responded, his voice clear and confident.
“How did you get so many?” Anne was astounded. Could it be that there was a powerful legion behind him?
“Alright, that sounds good!” Anne agreed immediately “You currently owe the Silver Moon Commerce thirty-six thousand Doomsday Coins. For the sake of our good relations, you can just pay one hundred and ten Ghost Pearls. Also, you will be a VIP member of Silver Moon Commerce starting today. From now on, you will enjoy a five percent discount on all transactions!”
Song Jian smiled slightly. Not only did she offer a discount of three thousand Doomsday Coins, but she also bypassed the compulsory consumption requirement of one hundred thousand Doomsday Coins and allowed him to become a Silver Moon Commerce member, making purchasing materials from them more affordable in the future.
“That’s excellent! You can adjust the contract, and I will send you the Ghost Pearls right after.” Song Jian said.
Feeling relieved after the mission was completed, Song Jian thought he’d have to sell all the loot dropped by the Zombie Demon to cover the debt. Now, just by selling the Ghost Pearls, he has already fulfilled the obligation.
“I have a few other items. I’ve sent you their attributes. Would your commerce be interested in acquiring them?” Song Jian instantly displayed the Demon Halberd, the Demon Bloodline as well as some other materials, all dropped by the Zombie Demon, to Anne.
Upon glancing over them, Anne inhaled sharply.
“How is that possible? All of these items are loot from the Zombie Demon. Not one of them has been kept back? Are these excellent items below the procurement standards of their team?” Anne was astonished. The sight of so many Ghost Pearls had initially made her stagger. The stature of Song Jian in her mind had risen rapidly to an astonishing height. If anyone were to tell Anne now that Song Jian was a city lord, she wouldn’t even be surprised.
“How much are you looking to sell these items for?” Anne asked cautiously.
“The Demon Halberd for fifty thousand Doomsday Coins, the Demon Bloodline for thirty thousand Doomsday Coins, and other materials for twenty thousand Doomsday Coins in total!” Song Jian directly said his prices.
“One hundred thousand Doomsday Coins…” Anne mused for a while. With these items and over a hundred Ghost Pearls, she could establish a twenty-person elite squad capable of conquering the secret realm of Dark Castle on hard mode. Once that happened, her standing within the commerce would greatly improve.
Upon hearing that Anne didn’t reject it outright, Song Jian relaxed. It seemed like the amount of one hundred thousand Doomsday Coins was still within her limit.
“I can trade with you right now!” After thinking it over in her mind for a long time, Anne finally made a decision. This time, she decided not to purchase in the name of the commerce, but in her own name. Only when she truly possesses power, would she truly be called strong.
Anne had already planned to build her own formidable squad. The items that Song Jian was selling filled the gap that she urgently needed.
