The jewelry store owner's eyes swirled around in the tiny glass beads, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them.
At present, there is indeed nothing similar on the market. Scarcity makes things valuable, and rarity itself is a kind of value.
After all, gemstones are just rare stones, but it is precisely because of their rarity that they are given value and significance.
The only thing worth worrying about is that this thing is indeed man-made.
If you finally raise the price of this little thing, and someone suddenly emerges who can mass-produce this kind of glass beads, the rarity will disappear, the price will instantly collapse, and you will lose everything you have left.
As if he had seen through the jewelry store owner's thoughts, Yang Yu straightened his body, politely asked for paper and pen, wrote down his current location on the paper and pushed it forward.
"I will stay in this town for a while, and I have already found a hotel. If you regret buying this glass bead, you can come to me anytime within a month, and I promise to buy it back at the high price you paid for it."
He actually took the initiative to help me reduce the risk. Is there really such a good thing in the world
The jewelry store owner was a little skeptical, but Yang Yu continued to speak to dispel his concerns.
"On the other hand, if I regret it, I will buy it back with the principal plus 500G. You have plenty of time to find a buyer, and you will not suffer any loss if you cannot find one. This is a sure win for you."
There was a kind of magic in Yang Yu's words that the jewelry store owner could not resist. After thinking it over again and again, the jewelry store owner smiled.
"Name a price! If it's suitable, I'll buy it."
"How about 10 million?" Yang Yu said with a smile.
The jewelry store owner's eyes almost fell to the ground along with the glass beads in his hand.
"Ten million?! Are you kidding me?"
Yang Yu picked up the teacup, admired the wonderful expression of the jewelry store owner, and said: "Ten million is a normal price. It would cost more than ten million to hire a wise man who can make something like this."
The jewelry store owner hesitated. It was not that he could not afford the 10 million. But to use 10 million to buy a stone whose trade route was unknown, he only had numbers A and C in his mind and did not even think of number 13.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just joking." Yang Yu smiled, "Besides, putting such a large sum of money in my hands is putting the cart before the horse."
The jewelry store owner's expression softened a lot. "So how much do you want?"
Yang Yu did not answer immediately, and jokingly said: "I think with your ability, you may be able to sell this thing for 10 million.
To be honest, I want to sell it at a higher price by myself. But as you can see, I am a little inconvenient now, and I have no channels to sell this thing to the upper class. So, I can only rely on your help. "
The jewelry store owner did not deny that as a jeweler, he had close ties with the nobles, and most of the people who could play with jewelry were well-known figures who could not be recognized by any passing wild boar.
However, the price of 10 million is really too high. Not to mention the ordinary upper class, even the wealthy will feel a pain in their heart. If they want to sell it at such a price, they have to package it layer by layer.
Wait, he just said that he wanted to sell at a higher price by himself but now he has lost the channel because of some inconveniences. The more money the better, but he said that he put the cart before the horse. Is there a possibility
An idea came to his mind, and the jewelry store owner looked at Yang Yu carefully. From the beginning, the boy in front of him spoke and had knowledge that was completely unlike that of an ordinary person, and was even not in line with his current age.
With such a smart mind and such calmness, his identity is obvious. He is most likely a nobleman who has gone to the countryside to experience life.
"I'll make a new offer, try to make it cheaper this time, just to make friends. How about 100,000?" Yang Yu smiled, "It's not a loss anyway. You can take this inconspicuous stone to find the seller. If you can't find it, come back to me at the address. I'll refund the original price."
Although one hundred thousand is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, it is just a slightly more expensive carriage for the nobles. Many upper-class people who love beauty have jewelry worth more than one or two villas, so why would they care about a slightly more expensive carriage
Besides, investing one hundred thousand into the future is a good deal.
Thinking about it, the jewelry store owner did not hesitate this time and agreed generously.
"make a deal!"
Leaving the jewelry store, Yang Yu was very proud.
Originally, it was impossible for the jewelry store owner to accept the price of one hundred thousand at the beginning, but Yang Yu offered an incredible price at the beginning, which raised the owner's psychological expectations and made him successfully accept the price of one hundred thousand.
The principle behind their practice is probably the same as those stores that write an unacceptable price on a price tag and then cross it out and write 998.
Just in case, this money cannot be spent for the time being, but in another month, no, in a few days, this money will be in your pocket.
Garbage is relative. As long as you spend a little effort, you can definitely fool others. The key is to convince others to understand its value, and then they will be willing to take the bait.
If everything goes well, when the jewelry store owner drives up the price of the glass bead, I can take advantage of the situation and sell the other two glass beads to make a fortune.
After that, you no longer have to worry about consumables and equipment, and can concentrate on killing monsters, upgrading and mastering skills.
After collecting the coins, Yang Yu did not wander around the street for long before heading to the Adventurer's Guild to register.
The Adventurer's Guild is basically no different from an ordinary large tavern. There are many adventurers sitting inside drinking in broad daylight, and the noisy sounds can be heard from outside.
Brokers and knights come and go, new tasks are added to the board every day, and the exquisitely dressed guild managers maintain order.
"Sir, please place your hand on this crystal ball. This crystal ball will show your energy level. Based on the evaluation results, we will determine whether you are qualified to be an adventurer and issue you a certificate."
After explaining the situation, Yang Yu conducted a simple ability test under the guidance of the cute young lady.
"Strength D, Defense D, Intelligence D, Special Defense E, Agility D, overall rating D. Congratulations to this gentleman for having the potential to become a D-rank adventurer. As long as you pay a deposit of 100G and sign the agreement, you can become a member of our Adventurer's Guild."
The test crystal ball can only show a total of five values, and the values are marked with a large range of SABCDEF. The overall evaluation D is the minimum standard to become an adventurer.
Yang Yu’s current specific attributes are:
[LV 10 Experience 23/500
Race: Human (poor) HP: 210/210 MP: 80/80 Stamina: 98/100
Main occupation: None
Secondary occupation: Herbalist apprentice (LV 1)
Personal attributes: Strength 45, Defense 38, Intelligence 21, Special Defense 19, Agility 28, Charm 8, Endurance 30, Luck 1 (cannot be added)
Free attribute points: 50
Resistance: None
Evaluation: A little bit stronger than ordinary people.]
Although he increased his level by five levels by beating the slime, his own stats are still unbearable.
Because he was a commoner, his attributes could not be greatly improved. Each upgrade only increased one or two attributes. If he wanted to become stronger steadily, he could only rely on the precious free attribute points.
He has not yet decided on his direction, so the free attribute points he recently upgraded have been retained.
When you first clear a level with one life, every attribute point must be carefully calculated and used to the best effect.
As for adding all the free attribute points to one aspect and becoming the world's strongest in that aspect, you have to wait until the second round to try it.
He followed the lady at the front desk to pay the money and register to become an adventurer. The long-lost system voice sounded in his ears:
[You have become a formal adventurer, and you can have enough food and clothing only with your own hard-working hands.
During a long journey, there are constant dangers. If you have a partner who can support you, you will have more chances of survival in times of crisis.
By the way, he/she can also relieve your loneliness, become your spiritual support, and warm your bed every night.
How do you plan to recruit your first partner now
1. The only ones who can become my teammates are those who have been defeated by me. Challenge an adventurer who is rated higher than yourself.
2. It's time to show your talent. Treat the slime as a basketball and sing and dance a rap in the Adventurer's Guild.
3. A true hero doesn’t need friends, he should be a lone wolf.
Select time limit: one minute.]
