Chapter 677: Commotion in the Marketplace

There was a temporary contract between them, so there was no way he could give up his debt.

If he hadn't sent the money himself, Winnie would have just asked for help from Rai and he would have received a letter with the need to pay off the debt as soon as possible.

Half an hour after opening the counter, there were only two items left on it.

«Super destructive strike.

Price: 300.000 Paradise Coins;

Ben's knife.

Last active offer: 365.300 Paradise coins».

The price of Ben's knife continued to rise. It increased by about 10,000 coins every minute.

Since most of the items were sold, Su Xiao checked his balance.

In total, all the items he sold brought him 216,800 Paradise coins, plus Su Xiao had 49,406 Paradise coins in his balance before, so he should have had a total of 266,206 coins.

But after deducting 100,000 coins for helping Winnie, Su Xiao was left with 166,206 Paradise coins.

It wasn't a small amount, and two of his most valuable items hadn't been sold yet.

An hour after the start of sales, the mechanism of the retail space began to work at full capacity. Every contractor who stayed near his counter for a long time was teleported Heaven away from the counter, which allowed new people to come over and get acquainted with the goods.

Most contractors came for the gold-quality properties of the knife, then left after enjoying such beauty in person.

After a full three hours passed, the number of contractors around Su Xiao's counter became significantly smaller.

Su Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, took off his headphones, and put the tablet away.

Looking around, he saw dozens of contractors waiting impatiently.

— You've been waiting a long time.

After hearing Su Xiao's words, the surrounding contractors started talking one by one.

— I can offer up to 150,000 coins for a super destructive strike.

— We are interested in this golden knife, our leader wants to talk to you.

— Buy a knife for 400.000 coins right now.

It was noisy again around the counter.

Su Xiao just stood up and walked out of the counter. The contractors who were waiting for his decision were obviously confused.

Su Xiao himself found a relatively empty cafe and ordered a fruit drink. He didn't like the bitter taste, and after sitting in the cafe for a few minutes, Su Xiao returned to his stall in the shopping plaza.

As he thought, there were only a dozen people left in front of the counter. Even if contractors passed by the counter, the golden knife only caught their attention for a moment, after which they usually left.

Su Xiao sat down at the counter under the helpless gazes of a dozen contractors.

— You tell me first.

— You're the first, you're the first.

These dozen or so people must have managed to chat during this wait.

— Hmm, if you want to see cannon fodder, just say so. I'll start first — " a strong-looking man with rolled-up sleeves stepped forward. The moment Su Xiao saw it, he knew that it had nan energy.

He had fought the Spiders before and now he could sense this special energy in people's bodies.

In addition, a person's nan abilities could often be easily determined by their personality. People with a straightforward personality tended to be of the "amplification" type, while fickle and moody people tended to be of the "transformation" type.».

The probability that this man belonged to the reinforcement type was 80%.

— What are you looking at? Yes, I relate to reinforcement.

Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. This man looked rude and not very smart, but he wasn't stupid. Blunt character and stupidity were not the same thing.

— Three hundred thousand, no haggling, " Su Xiao naturally knew what he wanted to buy. Given his height of more than 2.6 meters, the golden knife would be nothing more than a toy for him.

— Why don't we talk about the price? After all, you want to sell it, and I want to buy it, "the man picked up a dark purple scroll from the counter, thought for a moment, and said —" It's very powerful and doesn't consume much power, but... After thinking for a moment, his expression turned resolute. — To use this ability, I will need to charge it for two seconds. These two seconds can decide life or death. Normally, I'd give up any ability that charges for more than half a second, but...

He didn't belittle the value of this skill. What he said made sense. This skill needed two seconds to activate, which was its biggest drawback. In a fierce battle, let alone two seconds, even one tenth of a second would be enough for a person to die.

Su Xiao shook his head. What he said seemed reasonable, but not quite. — What you said makes sense, but it describes this scroll as a level 1 skill. As the skill level increases, it will obviously take less time to prepare it. Considering that this is a dark purple scroll, this skill can definitely be upgraded to at least level 30, which will allow you to get a very good increase in this ability three times. If you are lucky, you will be able to reduce the charging time to the minimum values..

Su Xiao's words caused the nearby contractors to nod several times, and the man himself grinned. — You're quite astute, and I really want to buy this scroll and take a chance.

He seemed to really like this skill. Given the size of his fists and his overall build, his punches will obviously be quite good.

— I'm willing to throw in ten grand, but no more.

The man didn't say anything and just nodded. Two hundred and ninety thousand for such a skill was a good price, but just as he was about to hand over the coins, a man in black quickly walked up to the counter.

Seeing this figure, Su Xiao raised his eyebrows and said — " I won't accept coins from you.

— Of course, the barter was agreed upon earlier. I apologize for being an hour late, " the man in black said and chuckled. His entire body, including his head, was covered by a black cloth, and his face was covered by a mask with a scarf on which was embroidered a skull with white bones that were crossed right under the skull.

— The man from Black Sails? - the man, seeing the person who came, did not react very well. He didn't like these thick-skinned businessmen who profited from the inconveniences of ordinary contractors in the derivative worlds.

— I am a manager under the code name K24, hello, Mr. Byakuya, this is our first meeting, so here is my gift for you, " he said and handed Su Xiao a card.

You could use it to contact him at any time.

In the Black Sails Chamber of Commerce, there were ordinary merchants, and there were also "managers". They all wore the same clothes, their voices, height, and even their habits were also completely identical. The only thing that was different about them were their personal business cards.

— Did you get what I requested??

— Of course, " he said, and took out three swords. Seeing the quality of these three swords, the contractors standing nearby sighed.

Three dark purple quality swords were rare, and it was even rarer to see three dark purple quality swords in one person at once.

— Very good, " Su Xiao said and canceled the deal with the man. If this manager was late, he would have sold it for coins.

Of course, he could sell it for coins and buy whatever he needed in the future, but in this world, not everything worked so easily.

Not everything could always be bought with money, especially when it came to rare items, so in this case, it was much more useful and profitable to exchange this skill for three swords with the possibility of acquiring very good connections.

And since the Black Sails Chamber of Commerce specialized exclusively in business, their resources clearly exceeded the reserves and capabilities of many large guilds.
