"Do you take long distant orders." He accepted his personal membership card from her.
"As long as that doesn't go below 1000 gold, i can spare you my time."
The one on the screen and the one in front had their eyes glowed silver for a moment.
He received her contact request on his interface.
He smiled fully understanding her speciality.
'Very few can achieve perfect cloning. Even her clone is definitely not a permanent staff of this village.'
She knew from his look that he realised but it mattered little to her since her ability isn't a secret.
"Pleasure doing with you." He extended a hand at her.
"Me too." She gripped his hand, shaking firmly.
He left through the entrance with a mischievous smirk on his face that she didn't see but her assistants noticed due to their angle.
Only after several seconds of him leaving she carefully recalled his last words pondering. Finally realising what he actually said, she immediately strode outside with red face huffing. But he is long gone from the area.
'Pervert! Bad man! Humph!'
Her assistants trying to hold their laugh, they clearly heard his words since they were completely focused on their words.
Rex approached the last stall, stall owner already returned, welcomed him.
"How many have you collected?"
"That..."
"Is there a problem?" Rex raised a eyebrow, he thought stall owner couldn't gather dragon born leaf and blood resonance herb.
"Yes, amount have exceeded that your budget. When i went to gather both herbs, they asked so i told them truthfully and they shoved their 90% other herbs from even their warehouse. As there is abundance of herb due to village location, least we lack is herb."
"Oh! and here i thought something had gone wrong. So how much is total coming at?"
"With thousand variety of herbs each amounted to 100k on average from 100 year age to 6 month minimum, total cost comes to 50k gold."
Even he is astonished hearing the number.
"Wait why do you all even have so many?! Didn't local alchemy association bought your stacks!"
"No, we don't sell them. They only give one fourth money of even base price. We transport every few months to nearby cities, selling to few foreign merchants and some small alchemy sects. Big company doesn't have any shortage of supply channel. Our stall here is only for villager convenience, time pass and for some small change of income."
Currency - 11875 Gold
He just bought few silvers, turning all silver to gold and Vena sent another 5000. He looked at 2 contact for a split moment.
Vena Rebel
Lia Lycen
'Nope, Vena's team can't gather 40k in just 5min.' He chose second option. Every 2min she has been sending 5000, at this rate of collection they would need 15 more min. '15min of waste time.'
[Can you lend me 40k gold now?]
Her reply came in just seconds.
[Oh, how amazing the infamous pervert needs money from a woman like me, such marvel!]
He chuckled 'Yeah, she is too free as it seems.'
[Can't waste time on arguing now, time is essence. You can swear me however you like after our transaction.]
[Ok, state your offer.]
[40k in exchange for 45k at the end of the 24 hour.]
[Oh....12.5% profit, a little too good tempting deal.]
[I'm not short on money, i'm short on time.]
[You can apply for a credit every 6 month from your gold membership card you know, interest is very budget friendly.]
[Nope too much hassle, waste of time, lend me from your personal credit.]
No reply for 10sec.
[Lia transferred 40000 Gold coin]
He smiled 'She is very timely help, walking pigi bank.'
"Okay, give me all goods worth of 50k gold."
"You will buy?!!" Shop owner is surprised.
"Yup, hold your shock and quickly open transaction screen."
"Oh..k, her....e." His speech even distorted as he hastily opened interface. A screen appeared in front of Rex, which he immediately transferred 50k gold to.
"Okay, give me the goods fast."
Shop owner nodded fast, taking out 5 space ring and a small sack. "Everything is inside."
He checked them one by one. All 5 rings holds herbs of all range and a map how he had asked for. Small sack contains 95 space rings.
"Everything total came out around 50k right."
"Well total was around +51k, on roundabout we are taking 50k from you."
Rex nodded and gave him his contact. "Contact me when next batch of goods loads."
He didn't waste time on another word, taking his leave out of village. Fortunately players passerby didn't think he was a player since he doesn't have diamond shaped sign of player above his head.
This time he didn't move slowly, moved at his peak speed in straight line toward spawning coordinate. Onlookers might only notice a gust of wind that passed by.
Several players were besiding a mad evil boar, encircling within.
"Spam ice element on front legs, use roots to bind its back legs."
Ice chain. Freezing spike. Wood shackle. Forest embrace.
Several skills landed on the evil boar. Five close range players hacked their weapon on it. Spear, axe, dagger, knuckles, sword landed on the evil boar.
Suddenly they felt a gust of wind out of nowhere that threw them away.
"Shit!! Did the boss went berserk!"
"Immediately hold your ground! Shackle the monster again!"
Players stabilised themselves, ready to gang on the berserk evil boar.
"...."
"...."
"...."
....
They scratched their head "How did it die."
A player suddenly stated pointing at the sword wielder "Did you replace your sword with short sword."
"Un what?" Sword wielder looked at the sword he in his hand. "Wtf!!"
"Aha! I understand what happened!" A player suddenly clapped his hand enlightened. Others fixed their attention on him as if saying go on, while ignoring the confused sword wielder.
"It is his sword that killed the monster or more clearly sword had some kind of reaction upon berserk evil boar so it self destructed taking out the evil monster."
"We should try it on a boss."
"Before that let's extract silver, this monster was level 5 so minimum we can expect few silvers."
"We need to buy a space storage, it is too much to transport a monster body every single time."
"Hopefully we can afford lowest space ring of one gold coin."
Gust of wind moving through the forest.
'One harasser of Mave found. Tsk tsk, can't wait to skin that rich kid slowly. Sword is only interest for now.'
Mave, one of seven assistant of Vena that teleported with him. Sword wielder rich brat had tried to take advantage of Mave and her assistants few years back in branch headquarters. Four men who were guarding headquarters main room had fought with their life on the line to buy enough time for reinforcement to arrive.
Their lives were saved but each had became disabled after.
