As soon as I walked into the house, I saw a woman greeting the owner. This woman seemed to be a salesperson, but why did they talk about business like this? Aren't they afraid that others would know the price and other details they negotiated? At least they should find a small room, right

"Sir, look..." Considering my presence, the guy didn't dare to leave me easily.

"You go and do your work, we'll take a look first, and you can entertain us later." I wanted to gain more knowledge, so I followed you and watched.

After apologizing repeatedly, the boss seemed to be a different person, and all the flattery he showed us was gone. He strode towards the two burly men who claimed to be selling magic crystals.

"What goods do you two have? And you can rest assured, we are the largest and most reliable magic crystal sales and purchaser in the entire Eastern Territory. Our prices are the most fair in the entire Custer City. No matter how much goods you have, my store can take it and I will directly pay you enough gold coins." As soon as he left us, the tone of this guy became arrogant.

"Sir, judging from the appearance of these two people, they must be smugglers who risked their lives to cross the border between the two countries. I don't know if they are smuggling loose crystal foam or magic crystal. Judging from their appearance, they can't be smuggling magic crystals... Ah! Magic crystal ore..." Matthew, who was whispering in my ear, had a slightly changed expression when he saw the crystal ore that the two people took out. Could it be that the egg-sized stone that the two people each took out was so surprising

"Sir, magic crystals can be used to make magic tools and bless them with various corresponding magics. Moreover, after using them, they can be blessed repeatedly. Many wizards use them to make decorations for magic wands. Two wind-attribute magic crystals like these will cost at least 1,000 gold coins each in the market. I wonder what the purchase price is here? If possible, sir, you can ask them to transfer them to you. Then you can take them to the imperial capital and exchange them for corresponding magic crystals according to your future attributes. After all, this place is close to the Senke Federation, which is where the most crystals are produced. The price here is definitely much cheaper than in the imperial capital."

After hearing what Matthew said, I quickly moved forward a few steps to get closer to where they were talking. Damn, such a good thing must not be missed.

"How many of these crystals do you have? If possible, my shop will buy them at full price." The shop owner replied to the two guys who looked like they had just come out of the uncivilized mountains in a very calm voice. But if you want to kill people, why are your eyes moving so fast? And your eyebrows are shaking all the time? Isn't this reminding others that you are going to swing your knife

"We have 100 crystals of various types, and 11 gems that are twice as big as this one, plus another one as big as a fist. How much can you give us?" Without much hesitation, the two guys revealed their low prices. Lamenting, these two guys are really naive. . . . .

Before the boss could say anything, Matthew kept bumping my arm, signaling me to grab it first. But I didn't know the price of this thing here. Wouldn't it be more unpleasant if it was less or more? So I signaled Matthew to be patient.

"Well, this one is 45 gold coins each, the double-sized one is 120 gold coins, and the largest one is 400 gold coins. This is already the highest price I've ever offered. I don't think you can get a better price in the entire Eastern Territory. But as long as you agree, I can pay you the full amount in gold coins at once. This is a good thing that other businesses don't have. What do you think? If it's okay, we'll trade right away."

"Bang!" After hearing what the shopkeeper said, I bumped into the shelf in front of me. Damn, it's really shady, buying at 1/20 of the price, isn't that equivalent to buying blood diamonds in Africa

"Boss, please be kind. How can the price of this ore be so low? My family said the price is more than double this. If we sell it like this, the money we bring back won't be enough to feed the people in the village. Please be kind..." After hearing the price, the two people were shocked. They just surrounded the shop owner and begged him. Didn't they even know to change shops? But then again, with their rustic looks, anyone would want to chop them. It is estimated that the result will be the same no matter where they go.

"Damn it, don't you know that this is war time and all goods are hard to sell? I'm already lucky enough to accept your goods, but you actually want me to raise the price? No, my price is already the highest in the city, no matter what you say, it's useless..."

"Well, can I say something?" Since you said it was the highest, I think this guy won't object if I stand up and say so? "My two friends, I'll give you 20 gold coins for each item, how about you sell it to me?" I stopped the shopkeeper from talking and took the deal. "But you have to give 5 of these 20 gold coins to our shopkeeper. I don't think you will have any objections, right? After all, we are trading in his shop..."

"Sir, can you give us cash?" The two guys asked me cautiously, and the shopkeeper's face showed joy at the same time. It seemed that he hoped that I couldn't pay, so that the business would be his.

"Of course, Matthew, go and ask someone to get my box." Damn, it seems that the gold coins that Thacker rewarded me with are no longer safe.

A few minutes later, the box containing all my property that I left with the guards was brought in. Nearly 8,500 gold coins consumed most of my property.

"Oh my God! Sir, have you plundered the entire Wasteland City? So many gems, and they are all processed... Sir, I wonder if you can sell them?" When I opened the box to pay the two brothers with gold coins, the owner's eyes almost fell out. After removing the gold coins, the gems and some things similar to magic crystals on one side of the box stunned him. After sending away the two ignorant guys, the owner immediately held me and refused to let go.

"Of course, if your price is right, I'm willing to sell it to you, but I'm not like the two fools just now. If you dare to kill me, I'll put you to the gallows first..." Ever since I learned that the highest death penalty in the world is the gallows, I almost always use that thing to threaten people.

"How dare I? Sir, I can quote a price for each item, and if you agree to do the deal, we must follow the normal commercial price, what do you think?" Although he didn't know what Kaizi was, he didn't dare to ask me casually and gave me suggestions carefully.

"I'm too lazy to do it myself. Just take out the items one by one and then tell me the prices. But don't bring me any magic items, I have to give them away, otherwise I'll make you pay..." I used threats and scolding to make the guy's head a mess. With Matthew here, I think the possibility of making mistakes is not very big. Besides, this guy has to keep the store open for a long time. Isn't he afraid of my revenge if he plays with me casually
