Chapter 87: Purchasing

“Also?”

Bai Wushang was keenly aware of this word.

“That woman just now…”

A trader was in the middle of his sentence when he was rudely interrupted by another person.

“Hey, Don’t blame me for not reminding you. You should understand the consequences of casually leaking customer information, right?”

“I… I’m sorry!”

The previous trader ducked his head and quickly shut his mouth.

He didn’t want to lose his job yet.

Bai Wushang felt a little uncomfortable. His heart itched as if he couldn’t pierce through a screen window.

Fortunately, the two traders were quick-witted and immediately started working.

One was responsible for the valuation and the other was responsible for the inventory and accounting. The division of labor was clear.

The final results were not far from Bai Wushang’s estimation.

The pile of beast carcasses, headed by the Cat Demon and the Iron Bone Eagle, was worth about 6,500 gold coins in total value.

In addition, Bai Wushang had collected bits and pieces of materials, such as the Spectral Viper, the Swift Wind Sword Wolf, the Sharp Blade Beetle, the Gold-piercing Mouse, the Green Arrow Turtle and so on, some herbs could not be used, and a small number of rare ores… in the end, the Thousand Beasts Mall offered 7,830 gold coins.

“Mr Bai, this is the purchase list. If you confirm the deal, please sign your name.”

Bai Wushang wrote down his name.

Soon, a neat bundle of gold notes was pushed in front of him, shining brightly.

“It feels so good to be rich…”

It was Bai Wushang’s first time handling such a large amount of wealth, and he felt a little strange.

But immediately, he calmed down and opened the holographic shopping screen embedded on the table.

There were quite a lot of things that he needed to purchase. This bit of money might not even be enough.

This was simply not the time to be complacent!

With the assistance of the traders, the first item that Bai Wushang searched for was called the “storage ring”.

Although the academy did not take back the dimensional backpack, it was gloriously called a “gift” and was directly given to the students, Bai Wushang was extremely disgusted with it!

“It’s fine if the storage capacity is small, but the safety factor is still so bad…”

Bai Wushang couldn’t help but complain about it. The dimensional backpack’s function was too simple. As long as one had a bit of soul power, they could take it as they wished. It didn’t matter who the owner was, so how could he tolerate it?

“Most importantly, this thing has a usage period? After one to two years, the storage space will shrink and disintegrate…”

“If I’m lucky, the items inside will fall out intact. If I’m unlucky, they will be devoured by the void and there won’t be any residue left… any master with some ability wouldn’t use such an inferior item…”

“I’d better get a better one as soon as possible.”

After browsing around, Bai Wushang found that there were many low-quality storage tools like dimensional backpacks in the mall.

They ranged from 1 cubic meter to 10 cubic meters. The cheapest one only cost 49 gold coins, while the most expensive one didn’t cost more than 500 gold coins.

However, storage rings were different, starting from a minimum of 5 cubic meters and it was worth 700 gold coins.

The most expensive one was thousands of cubic meters, and it had an enchantment and defense secret skill, and it was worth more than 100,000 gold coins!

Bai Wushang shook his head and chose a basic model.

It was a dull black ring. The design was ordinary and had a very low sense of existence.

It had a built-in storage space of 30 cubic meters. The total value was 3,888 gold coins.

“It’s a little expensive, but I get what I pay for. It should be enough for me to use for some time…”

Bai Wushang no longer hesitated and entered the shopping cart.

After that, he spent another ten minutes carefully choosing.

For example, healing medicine, soul power recovery medicine, beast antidotes, beast spirit resistance medicine, beast blood tonic medicine and so on. He spent over 2,000 gold coins. These items could save his life during critical times, so he had to make sufficient preparations.

In addition, training clothes, flavor removal powder, hardening talismans, elastic ropes, protective soft armor, fine steel spears, combat boots… and other supporting items cost 1,000 gold coins.

Other than that, Bai Wushang had always remembered his identity as a part-time “Chef.” He had ordered a batch of exquisite cooking utensils at a rather beautiful price of 200 gold coins.

Seeing that the stack of gold notes he had just earned had become fewer in the blink of an eye, Bai Wushang held his forehead and sighed softly.

“Is this what it feels like to be poor? Hmm… it seems like I’m used to it too…”

After the items were displayed in front of him, Bai Wushang took the initiative to pick up the storage ring and cut his finger to recognize him as its master.

After that, he could only activate it himself.

Unless he died or was wiped out by a power far beyond his limits, there was no need to worry about safety.

After packing up everything, Bai Wushang took out an item with a thought.

“Excuse me, what’s your recovery price for this item?”

The two traders took a closer look and their expressions changed.

Although it was not as exaggerated as a stone stirring up a thousand ripples, they were still very surprised and sighed

“F*ck… Bloodline Fruit?!”

“The freshmen this year are really incredible. They can even get their hands on this?!”

Bai Wushang remained calm and silently saluted.

One of the traders flipped through the internal trading records for a while and replied, “Mr Bai, this is a large-scale trading item. According to the internal rules of our store, the price is 9,500 gold coins.”

“Only 9,000 gold coins?” Bai Wushang frowned. “Isn’t the magical fruit usually worth more than 10,000 gold coins?”

The other trader had a good attitude and patiently explained, “The market price is indeed like this, but we are a trading institution supported by the academy. All commodities are essentially sold to students or instructors, and will not be sold to the public.”

“For such a commodity, because the price is set too high, there is a certain degree of difficulty in selling it. This will affect our capital turnover, so the recovery price will be slightly lower.”

“Of course, this is only a small part of the reason. Another part of the reason is that this is the ‘Blood Fruit’.”

The trader pulled out a piece of information from the wristwatch he was wearing and showed it to Bai Wushang.

“Sir, look. If it is another type of magical fruit, even if the price is high, once it appears on the market, it will be sold out in a short period.”

“… But this ‘Bloodline Fruit’ is a little awkward. Its effect has a certain risk, and it has a high probability of triggering a benign mutation. On the other hand, it has a lower probability of not triggering a mutation, or triggering a malignant mutation.”

“This kind of commodity has a limited audience in the market unless it has an ancient bloodline, and after consuming it, the probability of a hundred percent increase in the atavism rate… but you probably know that the number of that type of pet beast can only be described as ‘extremely few’…”

“Therefore, based on a comprehensive evaluation, the highest recovery price that our Thousand Beasts Mall can offer is only this much. Sir, you don’t have to make things difficult for us. We only do things according to the rules, and we can’t make the decision on the pricing.”

The trader spoke slowly with a professional smile on his face. Finally, he added, “I personally suggest that if you want to quickly recover your cash, selling it to us is a very good choice.”

“If you want to sell it for a higher price, I suggest that you go to the mystic energy trading market, the free gold coin market, or participate in the regular auctions organized within the academy. These channels may help you get a higher income.”
