385 Profiteering and bargaining
(I feel a little uncomfortable, um... I can only update once today)
…
"As for the request you made before, the prosthetic limb, I can promise you to do it now, but you need to provide the materials."
Li Nuo snapped his fingers, and Marjie continued: "200 kilograms of iron, 2 pieces of meteorite plates, 20 kilograms of silver, and as many medium-pressure tubes as you can get." At this point, he paused and rolled his eyes.
After a turn, "Gold and diamonds are also needed, and the more the better. These are what we lack. If you have other ideas, such as adding gun functions, please pass the weapons over."
In fact, there is no need for so many materials at all, and the gold and diamonds he mentioned are not used to make prosthetics, but are necessary materials for the brown [Identity] advanced item [Skellige Watch].
"Well, besides that, we need to talk about price." Li Nuo said: "You also know that the mall has a serious premium. An ordinary sword can be sold for more than 2,000 gold coins. A signal cannon is worth 5,000. It is produced in "Kenchi"
》The price of ordinary prostheses is 25,000 gold coins, and the size may not be suitable for your teammates, so I thought about it here and decided to follow the standards of private customization...
20,000 gold coins, 10 pieces of [Glory Keystone], 10 pieces of [Barrow Ash], you can also replace part of the gold coins with good equipment, but we need to inspect the goods."
Li Nuo calmly sent this message without any guilt.
Although what he said seems to make sense, he has it all, including what it means to be a huge profit and what it means to be a profiteer.
If they need to prepare materials, then the price of 20,000 is definitely appropriate, but it is too much to let Sauron and the others find a way to obtain the materials themselves.
Moreover, the materials that Marger mentioned are obviously too much, and in fact there is no need for that much at all.
There is no need to talk about the additional requirements of [Glory Keystone] and [Marrow Ash].
Cha Bai said with a blank look from behind: "Are your conditions a little too high?"
Li Nuo shook his index finger at her and said, "Do you know what the wet market effect is?"
Chabai looked embarrassed, "I don't even know what a wet market is..."
"To put it simply, turn up the vending machine and wait for the other party to bargain. If I give a price of 1,000 gold coins, Sauron will definitely agree directly. If it is 5,000, I think he will hesitate and then bargain, but if it is
20,000..."
Cha Bai pointed to the top of his ears, "The temples will jump due to impatience."
"Yes~" Li Nuo said with a smile: "If the price is 5,000, he will seek to reduce the price to 3,000. If it is 10,000, he may bargain to 8,000 or 50,000, but it will definitely not be only 3,000. When it reaches 20,000, he may directly cut it.
Halfway through, there may be another situation where he directly refuses to trade."
Cha Bai nodded in agreement, "Well, there is such a situation."
"But Sauron will definitely find a way to get prosthetics for his teammates before the next script starts." Li Nuo's words were confident. This came from the fact that he had seen Sauron's concern for Marsh when he appeared in the dark.
At that time, Soren urged Marsh to leave. On the one hand, he wanted to help another teammate, and on the other hand, he wanted Marsh to leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
That guy cares about his partners. This is the foundation of Dongzhou hw team's strength, and it is also Sauron's weakness.
Cha Bai fell into deep thought after hearing this, and after a moment he said, "I always feel that sometimes you are a bit... what do you mean... um... unkind?"
"Ha~" Marjie revealed a pleased smile and said, "It seems that [White Eyes] can also see through people's hearts."
"Don't touch the benefits you will get soon if you have the ability." Li Nuo glanced at them disdainfully.
After waiting for a long time, there was no reply from Sauron. During this period, Li Nuo also looked at the other party's ID number. Seeing that it was still in his address book, he was relieved that the other party had not deleted him.
It's not a problem to wait around stupidly. Fortunately, these three are the kind of masters who can find work to kill themselves in their spare time.
Now that Marjie's prosthetic limbs have been installed and he has mastered melee combat, Li Nuo and Cha Bai decided to regain their former happiness.
The two of them put it on the agenda to train Marger in close combat.
Then……
Li Nuo was knocked back home by a [Cosmic Phantom]...
Facts have proved that no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of rocket launchers.
"Tch...underestimating the enemy."
Li Nuo was upset, not because he lost in a duel in front of the opposite sex, but because in his opinion, no one could lose to Marjie.
Being blasted by a classmate and being slapped in the mouth by a lunatic with a math book are two completely different experiences. Although both lose, the latter will make the loser understand what it means to be ashamed. It has nothing to do with face and is completely a blow mentality.
The next day, he was ready to go. The moment he saw Marjie, he mutilated himself, opened all the buffs, and turned on [Remnant Blood] to take revenge.
When Marger's body lay on the ground, a cough came from the tombstone.
Reply from Sauron.
[You are a bit unkind...]
"It's the same as what I said." Chabai added. It made her extremely satisfied that there were outsiders who had the same opinion as her.
Li Nuoxu stared, pretending not to hear, and continued reading.
[I have some of the materials you mentioned, but we have to discuss the issue of gold coins. 20,000 is too much. Although our deposits are much larger than this number, none of us are fools. I know you want me to lower the price.
, let’s do this... 15,000, plus a pair of shoes]
Li Nuo read a key message from this passage, "...show off your wealth."
"It seems that they are really rich... 15,000 gold coins is not a small number." Cha Bai leaned closer and said, "But the three people Marjie and I killed didn't have many gold coins, so how could they suddenly be so rich?
"
"It's all in the hands of Sauron..." Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders, thinking that by keeping large amounts of money in the hands of the strongest players, he could avoid the problem of gold coin deficit caused by defeat.
Thinking of this, Li Nuo looked back at Cha Bai's delicate little face and asked with a smile: "Do we three want to compete in the world's best martial arts competition? The winner will be eligible to control one-half of the total assets."
"Don't be sick." Cha Bai pressed Li Nuo's head and forced his face back to face the tombstone, "Reply the message carefully and don't let the 15,000 gold coins fly away."
Li Nuo had a feeling that a certain nature of women was beginning to grow in Chabai's soul... but he did not dare to say it.
A prepared item came from the display screen on the tombstone, which was the equipment Sauron planned to use to make up for the price difference.
[Name: black overalls]
[Type: Clothing]
[Effect: Increase stealth effect by 60%]
[Explanation: If you take off your pants, it means you are exposed to the enemy's sight]
"To be honest...this thing..." Li Nuo nodded, "It's pretty damn good."
At the very least, stealing things before dawn can reduce the probability of being discovered. Moreover, since the "Monster Hunter" script, the materials brought back are huge, and there is no extra quantity to make leather clothes and pants that belong to that world, let alone those clothes.
The defensive performance was just that, and upgrading it required new book knowledge, so it was simply not done, leaving everyone in the predicament of "having no pants to wear".
"Well, anyway, you don't have pants now, so they can be used." Chabai agreed.
That's right... Li Nuo immediately wanted to argue. He wanted to say that Cha Bai didn't have any pants, but he suddenly thought that at least she was wearing pants that could be used as armor. He didn't seem to have the qualifications to speak sarcastically.
Just like that, [black overalls] were obtained, and Sauron added a very unwelcome postscript, [I know you have a skill called "thief", these pants are perfect for you].
Li Nuo actually doesn't like to have much communication with Sauron, because of that guy's identity as [Secret Explorer], all the details can be seen through at a glance. For example, he is wearing a down jacket in a busy commercial street.
Watch you run naked.
Sauron's postscript is not over yet, [I don't have that many stones and ashes you want, but to show my sincerity, I can give you 10 "Glory Keystones", plus some alchemy materials, as a demon hunter,
I think you need these things very much].
If it was normal alchemy materials, Li Nuo was not in a hurry... After all, the materials Chabai got back from Watzk were sufficient, and he didn't have to consume materials at any time to replenish the alchemy potion like a real demon hunter.
but……
"If it weren't for the alchemy materials in the world of The Witcher, maybe I could come up with some new tricks."
Thinking of this, Li Nuo readily accepted it. Alchemy materials are like coins in a wallet. Having them is better than nothing.
All transactions were completed properly. Sauron paid 8,000 gold coins and 10 [Glory Keystones] in advance, and passed on the materials for making the prosthetic limb, along with detailed physical data such as Marsh's height and bust. The remaining gold coins and alchemy materials will be stored in the prosthetic limb.
We will settle the matter after it is done. As for whether we keep the agreement or not, we can only look at "Lord of Triss".
Two days later, Marger, who had two arms, built a prosthetic limb very quickly.
Sauron settled the remaining balance as promised.
Li Nuo looked at the alchemy materials lying around and felt a little confused.
These are things I have never seen before, the disgusting pituitary gland, the moving eyeballs, the large intestine with a mouth...
"Are you sure you haven't been deceived by him?" Marger looked sternly, looking at the disgusting things in this place, but couldn't help but vomit.
"Probably not..." Li Nuo knew the core of alchemy very well, that is, the more disgusting things are, the more awesome things can be made, but what he was seeing was still a bit too curious.
So he was very curious about where Sauron got it from. If the effect was good, he wouldn't mind targeting that script and going there in person if he had the chance.
Chapter completed!
