“Select exclusive privilege to borrow Devil merchant code’s power to enhance demon merchant’s physical strength,” After thinking for a while and considering my current situation I felt like this was the best exclusive privilege I could ask for.

[Dear Demon Merchant, 

If you select your exclusive privilege to borrow the power of the devil merchant code to enhance your physical strength, you will have to offer offerings starting from 100,000 devil-grade ingredients based on the amount of power you are borrowing and the period you are borrowing it for. 

Will you select this exclusive privilege?

[Yes/No] 

Warning: The demon merchant will be obliterated after the effect of the exclusive privilege is over because the Demon merchant’s physique is not strong enough to hold even 0.001 percent of the Devil merchant code’s strength.]

The minimum cost of borrowing the devil merchant code’s power for the minimum period was 100,000 devil-grade ingredients, that was, if I select this exclusive privilege then I will have to spend 100,000 devil-grade ingredients just to use the exclusive privilege for a second. 

Keeping the question that if I could afford to use this exclusive privilege aside, the warning for selecting this exclusive privilege was more worrying as it warned me that I could only use this privilege once then I would be dead since my physique wasn’t strong enough to hold even 0.001% of the power of the devil merchant code. 

This was enough to stop me from even considering selecting this exclusive privilege. However, this made it clear to me that I could not borrow the power of the devil merchant to enhance my strength. 

Then my mind raced and said, ‘Why dirty my hands when I could directly order the devil merchant code to kill my enemies?’ 

Previously, while exploring what all devil merchant code would and could do I tried to assassinate Karl and Sansa by making an appropriate offering to the devil merchant code. Unfortunately, the devil merchant code did not expect my request regardless of how much I was willing to offer as an offering.

However, now I could just select an exclusive privilege that would allow me to kill anyone I want by making an appropriate offering to the devil merchant code. 

The more I thought of this the more I felt that this exclusive privilege to borrow the devil merchant code’s power to kill my enemies would be more handy than borrowing the devil merchant code’s power to enhance my strength. 

With the assassination-type exclusive privilege, I could kill anyone from the comfort of my room which was just amazing. Hopefully, the offering to use this exclusive privilege will be reasonable. Even if the offering required to use the assassination-type exclusive privilege was high, the assassination-type exclusive privilege will be more relevant and handy than the strength enhancement-type exclusive privilege. 

Considering my situation the assassination-type exclusive privilege would set will with the information network I was creating using the VR-Slime card. 

I could use the information from my information network to spot my enemies and then use the exclusive privilege to get them assassinated. With this, I would have no enemies and opponents in myriad realms, especially the card world.

“Select exclusive privilege to use the power of the devil merchant code to assassinate specified targets,” I proposed to the demon merchant codex.

[Dear demon merchant, 

The exclusive privilege you are selecting has a very wide range of variables, making it difficult to calculate the offering so please clearly specify the parameters of your exclusive privilege. 

Note: Please give the demon merchant code more details on the exclusive privilege you are selecting to calculate an appropriate offering.]

“Select exclusive privilege to use devil merchant power to assassinate the specified target in the card world, the dark realm, and the realm of the yellow plain,” I gave the demon merchant codex more details on the exclusive privilege I planned on selecting. 

The reason I chose the card world, the dark realm, and the realm of the yellow plain as the locations to use my exclusive privilege was because according to my current knowledge, all my enemies were within these three locations.

[Dear Demon Merchant, 

If you select your exclusive privilege to borrow the power of the devil merchant code to assassinate a specified target in the card world, the dark realm, and the realm of the yellow plains you will have to offer offerings starting from 10,000 devil-grade ingredients based on your distance from the target, the time zone difference, and power difference between you and the target. 

Will you select this exclusive privilege?

[Yes/No] ]

“Interesting,” I blurted, seeing that there was not any warning prompt this time around. 

However, the price of a minimum of 10,000 devil-grade ingredients to assassinate my enemies did not sit right with me. With that cost, I could just hire a bunch of demigods to assassinate the targets. 

However, the factors like loyalty factor, convenience factor, and the guarantee of getting the job done, etc were priceless. One could not put a price tag on these factors— well, the devil merchant code did. I guess that’s why one pays the devil merchant code the big bucks. 

The assassination-type exclusive privilege was exciting and all but it was very costly. It would take me 10,000 devil-grade ingredients to kill a card master next to me using the exclusive privilege when I could kill the card master with a flick of my finger. 

Considering the distance between me and my target, the time zone difference, and the power-level difference the price of assassinating a target with my exclusive privilege would only increase. I had no idea how long it would take me to collect 10,000 devil-grade ingredients let alone more devil-grade ingredients. 

Financially speaking, selecting this assassination-type exclusive privilege right now would be a very bad idea. It would be a different story once the money of VR-Universe and Silver Milk powder starts pouring in. Until then I better think of something more useful but cheaper, ‘I got it. That’s it.’

Will you select this exclusive privilege?
