Ma Liang’s appearance made Happy realize why so many people followed him into the tailor’s shop. It was not because he had killed the people from Heaven Domination Sect, but because they had their eyes set on the Great Wolf Pelts in his hands.
They were about to be faced with the era of banditry. The people’s demands toward equipment and weapons had increased, which led to the price of Great Wolf Pelts increasing by leaps and bounds. The merchant named Ma Liang probably intended to monopolize the pelts in his hands and make a huge profit.
Happy smiled in his heart, and an idea formed in his head.
He handed over the pelts to the shopkeeper in the tailor’s shop while asking calmly,
You want to buy the Great Wolf Pelts I have?
Yes.
When he heard Happy take the initiative to reveal his intentions, Ma Liang actually let out a breath of relief. He wiped the sweat off his forehead, put on a flattering smile, and nodded.
Selling equipment is a matter that is filled with a lot of trivial things, and it is also something that wastes plenty of time. This humble junior also believes that haggling prices will make you waste a lot of time when you open a stall to sell your items. If you have the intention to sell, I can help you set a reasonable price and place all of them in my shop. My workers and I can sell them for an agreed on price for a small commission fee. What do you think?
Happy smiled faintly; he had been right. The merchant did not want to buy all of the materials he had. There could only be a handful of people in Gusu City who could buy all the pelts he had collected since the game had just launched. Ma Liang could only ask for a small bit of profit by taking commission.
Once he thought things through, Happy’s interest became much fainter.
How much is the commission?
The plump Ma Liang was stunned for a moment, then his face flushed red, though no one knew whether it was because he had been affected by Happy’s indifferent tone or whether it was because of something else.
Before speaking, he sucked in a deep breath.
You can set the commission. Even if you don’t want to give us any… I have no opinion about it! The only thing that I would like to ask is that you would make me the only representative for all of your spoils this time,
Ma Liang declared under Happy and his group’s dazed eyes.
All the people were stunned speechless. When Ma Liang finished speaking, the tailor’s shop became so silent that a pin could be heard if it fell. All the people stared at Ma Liang, whose neck had become red, as if they were staring at a ghost.
He wanted to sell the Great Wolf Fur Equipment Set for Happy for free? To become his only representative?
Eastern Green Gate, Whirlwind Young Li, and Azure Wolf cast their gazes on Happy’s face. They could not deny that with the help of Ma Liang’s shop, the items would definitely be sold much faster than if they tried to sell them in a personal stall.
When he snapped out of his daze, Happy frowned and stared at Ma Liang’s face for a long time.
For free? Are you sure you’re not pulling my leg?
This time, Ma Liang was the one who had a stunned expression. He only managed to murmur after quite some time,
Please don’t joke around. There is no one who would dare to pull your leg in Gusu City, Blue-robed Noble Sword User. Heh, heh heh…
This was the truth. Ma Liang had his eye on the Blue-robed Noble Sword User’s great influence and reputation in Gusu City, which was why he gritted his teeth and decided to get the right to represent him. He wanted to use Happy’s name to get a good start for his shop and make it famous.
Happy hesitated for a moment before he turned his head around to ask,
You said your name is Ma Liang?
The man nodded.
What is the exact location of your shop?
When Ma Liang heard this, a delighted expression appeared on his face.
The first shop in Central East Shop is mine. It’s called Treasure Gathering Trove.
The players who had been paying attention to the progression of events at the back could not hide the disappointment on their faces, since they had also come for Happy’s Great Wolf Pelts. Even though they did not know how many he managed to get, but on that day, when countless players fought to buy high-grade equipment, the Great Wolf Pelts that had been on sale since yesterday had experienced an inflation and gone up to eight thousand taels of silver crumbs.
Dragon Tiger Sect and Heaven Domination Sect had even said that they would pay fifteen thousand taels of silver crumbs for an entire Great Wolf Fur Equipment Set. This meant that the market price for the Great Wolf Fur Equipment Sets had increased to fifteen thousand taels of silver crumbs. If they did not include the five hundred taels of silver crumbs required for the cost of production to make the equipment, they would get a net profit of one hundred and forty-five thousand taels of silver crumbs.
This high profit business was only possible because Happy, who was the strongest player in Gusu City, had just intimidated Heaven Domination Sect. If it had been anyone else, they might have already been ambushed by countless people, and all their stuff would have been stolen, including their underwear.
Originally, everyone had wanted to buy Happy’s pelts, but to their despair, Ma Liang had forced them into a corner with his reckless act, and right now, unless they were willing to suffer losses to buy the Great Wolf Pelts, it was impossible for them to suggest an even better offer.
Happy cast a deep glance at Ma Liang and put the name of Treasure Gathering Trove to memory.
I’ll look for you later.
Alright!
Ma Liang’s expression filled with excitement. Once he nodded vigorously, he turned around and walked out of the tailor’s shop.
The other players who had come with hope in their hearts watched him leave with a complicated gaze. One by one, they turned around to leave as well.
What a guy. That person is quite bold. He offered a free service that makes it look like he just suffered a loss, but in truth, he’s trying to get his shop famous…
Yup, he’s going to rely on the Great Wolf Fur Equipment Set to make his shop famous, and the sales for the other items in his shop will also increase. Who said he won’t be earning anything?
Eastern Green Gate, Whirlwind Young Li, and Azure Wolf nodded while they whispered to each other.
No matter what, he has already achieved his goal.
Happy quickly brought out new and exquisite Great Wolf Fur Coats, Great Wolf Gauntlets, Great Wolf Leather Boots, and Great Wolf Leather Pants…
Um… Brother, are you going to sell that gear?
Some players walked into the shop right on time to see the shopkeeper of the tailor’s shop continuously bringing out the items. They sucked in a deep breath, and a player with a boorish face strode toward the four of them with a face full of delight.
Could you give me ten of them?
‘What a guy, he’s a big customer. He just asked for ten sets in one go. Even with the market price right now, that will cost at least one million taels of silver crumbs.’ Happy cast a glance at the person who came over, smiled, and apologized,
I’m sorry. Someone has already reserved the items here. If you want to buy them, you can go to Treasure Gathering Trove at Central East Street.
While he spoke, the shopkeeper of the tailor’s shop gave him another stack of Great Wolf Fur Equipment Sets that numbered more than ten. When the
great customer
saw this, his eyes sparkled, and his gaze when he looked at Happy became grave.
Have we met before?
The person beside him quickly whispered in his ear. The great customer’s expression instantly became weird, and he looked incredibly awkward.
I see, so it’s you, Blue-robed Noble Sword User. This humble person is from Immortal Mountain Faction, and my name is Cloud Waves. I am sorry to have offended you!
It’s alright.
Happy did not mind it. He continued taking his goods with the smile ever present on his face.
The person hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he could not help but ask,
Sir, you just mentioned that these equipment have already been reserved by Treasure Gathering Trove. May I ask one more thing? What is the set price for these items?
If it’s a single item, then the fur coat is worth eight thousand taels of silver crumbs, and the other items are three thousand taels of silver crumbs each. If you buy the entire set, it will cost you sixteen thousand taels of silver crumbs.
When he said this, Happy paused for a moment before he added,
If you want to buy in bulk, we can consider selling it to you for one thousand five hundred taels each, but you must buy at least fifty sets.
A wry smile instantly appeared on Cloud Waves’ face.
Fifty sets would mean seven hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver crumbs! He was not that much of a big spender. When he saw Happy turn around without hesitation, he did not continue wasting Happy’s time. He excused himself and apologized for bothering Happy before he brought his people to Treasure Gathering Trove to queue up.
Even though the equipment was a little expensive, when compared to the other equipment in the armor shops, its value was still the greatest. The defence of the Great Wolf Fur Equipment Set would greatly increase their chances of survival during any quest. Once the news leaked, the set would definitely become out of stock within a short period of time, so it was best to grab a spot in the queue early.
