Chapter 196: Transaction
Kain realized the inconvenience, or rather, the lack of convenience, of carrying a knife in a belt pouch. First, the position was cumbersome, and second, the reaction time was sometimes not fast enough.
Looking at this elaborate drawing, the shop owner fell silent, then seriously said to Kain.
"If it's something as complicated as this, I'm afraid it will take a month to finish."
"No problem."
This is not really a weapon to bring into the tournament. But this was just something Kain was preparing for later.
But when entering the tournament, Kain still only used a normal dagger.
Unfortunately, the dagger containing the necrotic curse was destroyed when it was stabbed into the body of "that thing", and at the same time, the muscles from that thing twisted the dagger.
Although the tournament does not prohibit students from carrying weapons, it is ultimately only a supplement, the main purpose of the tournament is to let students "practice" magic with each other.
"But wait..."
The shop owner frowned after looking at the drawing more closely.
"If it's this... I'm afraid these Nightcrawler claws aren't enough."
"Oh, I forgot."
Kain then took out Nightcrawler's claws, causing the shopkeeper's eyes to almost pop out.
By now, if he still hasn't figured out where this pile of materials came from, he should really retire.
This was clearly something that had been ripped off Nightcrawler's body.
Materials like Nightcrawler's claws were rare resources, so most of the people who found them would use them as goods rather than as materials. Normally, nobles would have their own craftsmen or invite their own craftsmen, they wouldn't go straight to a shop and order them like this.
So, these claws were obtained by Kain himself.
Thinking of this, the shop owner could not help but tremble.
He had long known the fear of Nightcrawler, that thing was a monster within a monster, even an elite army of soldiers would become weak against this monster, or even a low-class Magus would be at risk of being torn apart at any time when confronting it.
"Okay, I'll try. Kain, I know this doesn't sound right, but could you sell me Nightcrawler's claws?"
"Rest assured, in terms of price I will definitely make you satisfied."
To the old man's plea, Kain just shook his head, of course he had to keep this good material for his own use.
Seeing this, the shop owner's eyes also became gloomy, but he was not too disappointed, as if he had expected this, it was just that he still wanted to try his luck.
However, Kain spoke.
"But I can sell you something else. How about Crawler's claws?"
"You have Crawler's claws too?"
The man widened his eyes for the second time, now he was even more certain of his guess, that this silver-haired student had entered the Misty Dungeon to kill monsters.
"What a madman."
Such a thought flashed through his mind, but it was quickly filled with joy.
"How much do you have?"
"How much can you buy?"
Kain asked back, then he took out the bag from behind his back.
At first, the shopkeeper thought it was just Kain's luggage, but when he poured it out, the truth was revealed.
A big bag of Crawler claws!
Who knows if it took hundreds or thousands of Crawlers to kill to gather this pile.
This time, the shop owner knew he had hit upon a big deal.
Crawler's claws, although not as good as Nightcrawler's claws, are still a premium crafting material. Nobles' swords, elite military commanders' armor... many things are crafted from Crawler's claws, leading to this item always being in short supply.
If he could collect all these materials and then make weapons, a huge amount of money would flow into his pocket.
He even thought of cheating on these materials for a moment, but that foolish thought was immediately suppressed by the shop owner's reason.
Not to mention Kain's power, the fact that he belonged to the Kanzax Academy alone was enough to make him not dare to make the slightest move.
Merchants must always have greed. Greed is needed to do business, but greed must also be placed at the right time and place to maintain the business path.
If you are too greedy, you will die without knowing it.
"Hey, what do you think of this deal?"
Kain's voice woke the shopkeeper from his thoughts.
Kain maintained his friendly smile, but he knew full well what the man had been thinking just now. Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire
The thing is, he's not afraid.
"Okay, is this all you have? Then…"
Before he could finish his sentence, the shopkeeper was cut off again, because Kain pulled out another bag of the same kind.
He was a little stunned.
After a while of negotiating, the two sides reached a price that was reasonable for both.
The shopkeeper would buy back all of Crawler's claws, and would also craft two of Kain's pre-ordered equipment for free as a little bonus.
Money will be transacted through banks, because transactions with such large amounts of money are basically difficult to convert to Cents, not only very heavy but also very cumbersome.
Total 50 pounds of Crawler Claws, each pound worth 8000 Cents. Total 400000 Cents.
400000 Cents, what a huge number.
This is the amount of money that normal people cannot earn in their whole life.
And even though this process of "making money" is not something easy, to the point that the risk of life and death becomes as common as breathing. Kain still couldn't help but admit that it was hard for Magus to be poor.
After completing the transaction, both shook hands with smiles on their faces.
Even though the shop owner had almost exhausted his life savings, this lost amount would very quickly be filled back up, and even swell even more.
As for Kain, he not only succeeded in getting rid of these "entanglements", but also converted them into money. He guessed that it would be a long, long time before he would worry about money again.
