Chapter 782.1: Crazy Attack
— This... Nicholas reached under his clothes and began scratching his chest. When he took out his hand, his fingernails turned completely black. He himself couldn't remember how long it had been since he last took a bath. Perhaps he would have lost a few pounds after taking a bath.
— It seems like the knowledge I passed on was worthless, " Su Xiao's smile faded after saying that.
[Quartermaster Nicholas Caesar's favorability towards you is -60 points, favorability currently: 35 points.]
Seeing this notification, Su Xiao was able to restrain himself from killing the goblin in front of him.
Seeing that there was something wrong with Su Xiao, Nicholas sighed.
[Quartermaster Nicholas Caesar's favorability towards you is -30 points, favorability currently: 5 points.]
Su Xiao and Caesar looked at each other.
— My dear friend, how can I not take care of you? Your knowledge is priceless, " and just as Nicholas said that, a notification from Heaven appeared in front of Su Xiao.
[Quartermaster Nicholas Caesar's favorability towards you is +90 points, favorability currently: 95 points.]
In that one minute, he was on a roller coaster ride. Only now did Su Xiao realize how stingy, unfair, greedy, timid, and selfish Caesar was.
This was the kind of people Su Xiao liked to deal with the most, unlike people who were violent but thought of themselves as being righteous and honest. Such people were the most difficult to deal with.
The more flaws a person had, the more weaknesses they had. Su Xiao would never try to make friends with people without flaws. Even if he made friends with such a person, their friendship would be like a time bomb. Such people usually, of course, helped, but only with all sorts of small things, while they helped with the maximum benefit for themselves, and not for the person in need of help. Such people were usually the first to drop the other person when things started to smell fried. Nicholas wasn't that kind of person.
— My friend, don't worry, collect more merits and this branch will definitely be yours, " Nicholas smiled obscenely as he said this. Hearing this, Su Xiao checked the exchange list. When he saw the branch, a smile appeared on his face.
[Sacred Oak Branch.
Origin: Doyi Continent; Dragon Empire.
Quality: Gold.
...
Available for exchange at the moment: 1 piece.
Exchange price: 16,000 military merit points per branch.]
The price of the branch increased by 6,000 military merits. However, Su Xiao noticed that there was a very small line of text under the exchange price. If a person doesn't look carefully, they won't be able to see it at all.
Its essence was very simple — the price of a branch could change at any time depending on the current demand.
Nicholas winked at Su Xiao, licked two of his fingers, and wrote a number on the table with his saliva «9».
The meaning of his action was obvious. For others, this branch was worth 16,000 Military Merit Points, while for Su Xiao, it was only worth 9,000 Military Merit points!
On the wall behind Nicholas was a letter with the words: "Just and selfless, honest defender of the Empire."!»
— My friend, I think we have already talked enough about the combat situation on the front line, " said Nicholas.
— Well, the situation at the front really isn't encouraging, " Su Xiao wasn't stupid and immediately picked up on his conversation.
— Hey, but the empire needs people like us! Nicholas slammed his fist down on the table with a frustrated look on his face. Su Xiao also had a thought at that moment.
With such a quartermaster, not like the Dragon Empire, even the Immortal Empire would regret such an "honest" quartermaster.
— Su Xiao didn't want to continue talking nonsense.
— Leaving already?" Do you want to talk about the future of the empire?
— No... No.
Su Xiao didn't want to continue dealing with this shameless guy. If Bubtney had been around, he would have been able to "fight" Nicholas. No matter how cunning his opponent was, Bubtney always managed to beat his enemy.
As soon as Su Xiao walked out of the large tent, the helplessness disappeared from his face. Nicholas Caesar was no ordinary man. Not only did his favorability change at an alarming rate, what was really important was that he could control the prices on the exchange list. And this list was certified a Paradise for Reincarnators.
In the past world, Su Xiao was able to establish a good relationship with the Sacristy, but still, when the old priest gave Su Xiao a discount, he used his own funds to make up for the shortfall, rather than changing the price of the items on the list.
Was the Rizei's status low? No. He was previously the leader of the Holy Grail War and did not leave his position as the representative of the Holy Church in Fuyuki until his death.
— Nicholas Caesar... Even his name is unusual, " Su Xiao muttered, then found an unoccupied tent in the camp and fell asleep.
