Chapter 54 Transaction
The gatekeeper had been hiding in the darkness and did not follow.
Unpredictable could only follow the faint light through the corridor and go down one level along the stairs at the end before arriving at an underground room of medium size.
The yellow light bulb in the room was slightly dim. There were already more than a dozen people inside, sitting around a slightly shabby bar table. Everyone wore the same white mask, but some were more secretive, wearing masks on their heads.
Wear something like a hood and scarf to completely hide your facial features.
Seeing new people arriving, no one said anything... Mu Zhi subconsciously raised the collar of his windbreaker and walked to the next seat without any sense of presence.
After calming down, Mo Zhi saw a piece of paper being passed along the long table. Everyone would fill in something on it until the form was passed in front of him.
This piece of paper is divided into two sides, one side is the purchase information:
"I want to buy the No. 6 Origin Stone Hel and the No. 7 Origin Stone Hao Er. Each one costs 5 gold yuan. Two of them are packed for 11 gold yuan."
"I want to buy a red level symbol source language, preferably an attack type, 25 gold yuan, or corresponding contract items, negotiable;"
"I'm looking for a white level defensive talisman, negotiable;"
"Collect white source stones, gold coins for numbers 1-3 each, 2 gold coins for numbers 4 and 5..."
…
The price is much lower than what Lady Catherine said. I remember she said that if you apply to buy it from Pandora, the price of a red source stone will be more than 8 gold yuan, and the white one will cost 3 gold yuan...
Not only that, the application must also have accumulated merit, otherwise it will generally be rejected.
Pandora also seems to be deliberately suppressing the level of the Punisher team, not just targeting other contractors. This feeling is very strong.
Turn the paper to the back:
"Selling 'Sound Wave', red level, 25 gold yuan;"
"Orange source stone for sale, No. 12 Sein, two pieces, 15 gold yuan each;"
"A 'tough' top is sold for 5 gold dollars. The price is lower than the average because the top is a uniform of the Inspectorate;"
"The white source stone comes out..."
Seeing this "tough" top, the corners of my eyes shrank...
This is probably the equipment of a "Punisher". After earning enough merit, he received the Word of Rune as a reward from his superiors, which strengthened his Inspectorate Office uniform... Unexpectedly, he subconsciously thought of the worst outcome, although the clothes were strengthened.
, still failed to save the life of this "colleague".
After pondering for a moment, Mo Zhi wrote on the back of the sales page:
"The tone of the red-level talisman source is explosive, and it is negotiable..."
This is the language of the talisman read from Dominak's heart. You can know from the name that this is an attack type.
The reason why I didn't choose to sell Xiaobai's orange-level "extension" is because Mo Zhi wanted to try it first...
There are also twenty kinds of origin words from the Supervisory Office. Uncle Mao also gave detailed forms. However, Mozhi is not planning to sell these twenty kinds of origin words because it is not appropriate. Once spread, it will be easy to
It causes unnecessary trouble and even raises safety issues. On the other hand, it is because it is a desecration of the identity of the punisher - a real misappropriation of public assets;
This is against principle.
Because Mu Zhi was the last one to arrive, after he finished writing the piece of paper, a waiter passed it directly to the person at the head of the long table, the organizer of this "party".
The organizer was wearing a black leather coat and a white mask with gray-white temples on both sides. He should be of a certain age.
After reading all the information, the organizer read in an old voice:
"The demand needs to be discussed in person. Who wants to buy the red-level attack-type symbol source language? There are two for sale here, one sonic and one gas blast."
"It's me!" said a woman diagonally across from Mo Zhi.
Mo Cai looked over and saw that this woman was well protected. She wore a white mask on her face and a huge hood to cover her entire head. However, her voice and body shape betrayed her gender. This was a feature that could not be hidden.
"I don't want sound waves, I want to be angry." The woman added again.
"Then you go and talk next to it..." The old man in black leather pointed to a small door next to him.
Unexpectedly, Mo Bo did not expect that the sale he had just written would be called upon. When he saw the woman diagonally across from him getting up, he also got up and was led to the room inside by the white masked waiter.
"Twenty-five gold dollars..." There were seats in the room, but the woman did not sit down. After closing the door, she offered a fixed price to Mo Zhi.
After recalling it, I suddenly thought that the person selling "Sound Wave" clearly listed the price at 25 gold yuan, but there was no choice on the other side...
The reason why she didn't choose it may be because "Qi Explosion" is more in line with her requirements, or it may be because "Qi Explosion" is more effective...
Better results mean more expensive!
Moreover, a woman shouts 25 gold yuan when she enters the door, which shows that the price is in line with her psychological expectations, which means that she feels that 25 gold yuan is a cheap purchase...
Unexpectedly, he had already made up his mind and deliberately lowered his voice: "28 gold yuan, no price."
The woman frowned visibly, and even though she was wearing a mask, she could still see the undulations on the surface of the mask...
Uncensored and unhurried, he sat on the chair and silently stared at the table in front of him.
Both of them try to figure out each other's thoughts behind the mask...
"27 gold dollars..." Probably because she didn't care much about the uncertainty, the woman tried to lower the price.
Unpredictable smiled secretly in his heart:
you lose…
Negotiating prices is a psychological battle. Once one party compromises, it is likely to continue to compromise. The party that is weak at first usually just has a similar mentality of "can it be cheaper, even if it is cheaper?" - this is actually the opposite.
It shows her psychological expectation that even if it is not cheap, she will buy it.
Therefore, when I was shopping in the mall in my previous life, I was never polite wherever I could negotiate on price, and just cut into the air with a knife... This is a valuable experience accumulated by poor people when shopping.
"28 gold yuan." Mo Che lowered his voice and repeated it again, trying his best to keep his voice from rising and falling, so that it sounded smooth.
Sure enough, after another few seconds of silence, the woman's mask shook, and she was obviously gritting her teeth: "Deal!"
After saying that, the woman turned around and left the interview room. Mo Zhi took a deep breath and followed her out.
There is another pair of "interview" people waiting outside the door...
Following the woman back to the long table again, Mo Zhi kept thinking about practical issues such as how to complete the transaction, such as...how to prevent the other party from giving counterfeit money, and how to verify that the words of the source of his symbols were true from the other party's standpoint.
of?
Careful people tend to think about more things.
At this time, the woman seemed to bow slightly and assumed a very respectful posture: "We have negotiated a 28 gold dollar transaction, please witness it."
The price of 28 gold yuan obviously caused a small commotion in the audience. Mobi felt reassured when he heard this voice - the exclamation showed that he did not sell at a low price.
"Okay! A commission of 10 silver dollars per person!" The old man's voice remained calm, and he took out a small stuffed animal from his arms.
"Contract item, real puppet." The old man directly placed the puppet on the table.
This is an ordinary-looking puppet, like a child's toy. Under the two round eyes is a pursed mouth, which seems to be examining everything around it.
Unpredictable eyes narrowed, it turned out that the contract items were used to complete the transaction.
Since it is named real, this thing should solve the problems I was worried about earlier.
The woman first took out twenty-eight one-gold banknotes with gold threads, which shimmered under the dim light. Unexpectedly, the whole room felt a lot brighter.
One gold dollar gold thread banknote, how come it looks so cute?
The woman placed the banknotes in the puppet's arms, and then held the puppet's hand with her fingers, as if to convey the source of the talisman...
A faint white light glows from the puppet;
It should be a white-level contract item.
As the white light fluctuated, the puppet's pursed lips moved, and the corners of its downturned mouth slowly rose up visible to the naked eye, eventually forming an expression of joy.
"No problem..." came the old man's waveless voice.
The woman looked at Mo Bo, who then wrote "QI BANG" handwritten on the blank paper in front of him, then folded the white paper and put it into the puppet's arms like the woman.
At this time, the puppet has returned to its original state. Mu Zhi also pinched the puppet's other hand, and with a thought, the source of the symbols flowed out from his fingers.
The puppet laughs again...
This thing is really magical! Mo Zhi admired from the bottom of his heart, collected the 28 gold dollar note, and watched the woman take away the note with "QI Explosion" written on it.
Returning to his seat, transactions that did not require face-to-face meetings were carried out on the long table. Various source stones and strange contract items appeared in front of his eyes.
In the end, no one bought the Punisher uniform.
Think about it, who among ordinary contractors would dare to go out wearing the uniform of the Supervisory Office?
And it’s also a contract item?
Mo Cai thought for a while, this thing can't be used by others, so wouldn't he be the most suitable buyer? Others are not official contractors, and there will be problems if word spreads. He doesn't need to be afraid, it doesn't matter if he wears the uniform every day.
Moreover, "Tenacity" itself has a good defensive effect. It only costs 5 gold yuan, and the price is far lower than the production cost.
So Mo Zhi raised his hand and expressed that he wanted to see this uniform.
When I got it, I roughly checked the size visually and found that it was a little smaller than my body, but I could barely wear it.
"This can be regarded as motivation to lose weight...start running from tomorrow."
Mo Zhi gritted his teeth and said to the man selling uniforms: "I want 5 gold yuan."
"Haha, it's sold!" The man who couldn't find a buyer after selling for a long time was excited, as if he was about to jump for joy. When he was happy enough, he persuaded Mo Zhi:
"Don't wear it on a daily basis. Even if you wear it, wear a windbreaker...it will be ruined if those black dogs notice it!"
"Black dog?" He was puzzled.
"Those are the punishers!" The man seemed to realize that Mu Zhi had not been a contractor for long, and explained angrily: "They are all Pandora's lackeys, black dogs wearing black dog skins!"
Damn...
He scolded me so bluntly!
The corner of Mu Zhi's mouth twitched, and he thought about his past and present lives - it was the first time in his life that he was scolded and could not reply...
Damn, will you get beaten up by a group if you talk back here?
Seeing the slightly concerned man telling him to be careful, Mu Zhi gritted his teeth and decided to endure it.
"Although the Punisher is useless..." the voice of the old man in black leather came, still low and steady, interrupting and ending the man's chatter:
"They at least helped a lot of awakened people, preventing them from becoming dead just after becoming contractors."
The man stopped talking and sighed softly in his heart;
It seems that the Punisher is not as satisfied as all the contractors as imagined...
However, this is of course;
Especially as official personnel, it is easier to form a different class from ordinary contractors...
But it doesn’t matter, as I said before, just have a clear conscience!
There are a thousand Harry Potters in the hearts of a thousand readers...
