"... Is this it?" Seal mumbled to himself. It was already the 20th time he was asking himself. Seal repeatedly confirmed the address on the note that he did not come to the wrong place.

The building he was standing in front of emitted sounds of sawing wood and tinkling. No matter how he looked at it, it didn’t look like a hotel.

"Is there someone named Xu Shun here?"

"No! How many times do you want me to tell you?!" The man who was doing carpentry at the door replied impatiently.

Seal continued to ask without giving up, "Then who is the owner here? I have an important client, and this is the address he filled in. I need to find him."

What does this have to do with me?

The carpenter thought to himself and said without raising his head. "The owner here has gone out and will only return when it’s dark. If you’re looking for him, just wait here."

When it’s dark…

Before the sun rose in the morning, it was dark, and it would be dark after the sun set for the day…

Because of the carpenter’s bullshit, he had been standing there the entire day!

The sky was already dark, but the damn guy was still telling him the person he was looking for would only return before it was dark!

Just when Seal was about to give up, a figure approached from the distance, instantly getting rid of the gloom in his heart.

Seal called out loudly in surprise as if he had found a money bag on the ground.

"Hey! Mr. Xu Shun!" While shouting, he did not forget to wave his hand to signal to the other party where he was.

"Is he your acquaintance?" Shu Yu glanced at the guard beside him in shock.

Xu Shun made a helpless expression. "The residents of the shelter have consigned some stuff with him and signed using my name."

Shu Yu pinched his chin and nodded thoughtfully. "I see."

"It seems that there’s news."

Before the group could reach the door, Seal had already greeted them. He said with a bright smile on his face, "My friend, you are finally back!"

Before Seal finished his greetings, Xu Shun asked immediately, "Have you sold them?"

"Yes!" Not minding that he had just been interrupted, Seal continued to yell with excitement, "My customer really likes your... Uh, artwork. And he also mentioned that he would like to buy some more for his collection. I remember you still have a big bag of them, right? If you haven’t found a buyer yet, you might as well sell them to me."

The eyes of the players looking at the subtitles suddenly lit up.

It was especially so for Night Ten. His eyes shone with a holy light. "Holyshit! A fellow man of culture!”

Sell!

I have to sell it to them!

Old White had an awkward expression. "It seems that the wasteland also has perverts."

Gale coughed lightly. "... No matter what, it’s finally sold."

Ample Time nodded. "The price isn’t bad either. At least Teng Teng should be able to accept them."

To be honest, no one wanted it even after they asked around in the market before. They basically gave up on selling it.

In the end, no one expected that after returning from the talent market, the situation would turn around.

Surely enough, there are still people who can recognize the good stuff.

Gale tried to analyze it rationally. It was impossible for mercenaries to buy and wear that kind of evening dress with a long hem.

Civilians had no spending power, and they wouldn’t buy the clothes.

For someone to be able to afford that many chips, it had to be a nobleman from the inner city.

No matter who it was sold to, Ample Time still took the pouch from Seal. He counted the number of chips inside that added up perfectly to 480.

Seal had taken his 20% cut before handing it to them.

As for whether this guy had secretly raised the price for extra profit, that was up to him. They already set the price they would sell it at and anything else wasn’t their problem. ŕÅ𝐍őΒΕʂ

There were three gowns and quite a lot of stockings left. There were almost 20 pairs.

According to the price of 500 chips per dress and 100 chips for a pair of stockings they were sold for a sky-high price of 3,500 chips.

Even Shu Yu who was standing at the side couldn’t help but be amazed.

My goodness.

This transaction is enough to pay 4 months’ rent!

Of course, what gamers had in mind was the exoskeletons and other gear on the shelves.

𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Half of the 3,500 chips belonged to them, and along with the previous earnings, they could already scrape together a huge sum of 2,000 chips.

There would be only 1,000 silver coins if they traded it with the shelter, but if they bought a KV-1 exoskeleton or other equipment and took it back and resold it to other players, they would earn way more than 1,000 silver coins.

A Miner Type I could be sold for 2,000 silver coins, and as for a KV-1, which had no level requirements should be easier to sell. Reselling it for 1,000 silver coins shouldn’t be absurd, right?

3 KV-1s were worth 1,800 chips, and could be sold for 3,000 silver coins. It would be a bloody massive profit!

Of course, that was just an example. There were many items that were more profitable than KV-1. Most items sold in Boulder Town were not available in their outpost.

Ample Time intended to start a thread on the official website immediately after he went offline, to work as a purchasing agent and to do pre orders at the same time. Moreover, he could also ask Teng Teng, the rich mommy, if she needed anything.

"Wait, why 3,500 chips?" After hearing the negotiation relayed by Xu Shun, Seal stared at the several shelter residents in front of him with wide eyes, and questioned angrily. "Did you forget about my 20% cut?"

"That was on consignment, my friend, but this is no longer the case," Ample Time, who was plotting a scheme in his mind, had no time to talk to him. He replied in his own language, "If you want it, then pay for it."

Xu Shun relayed what Ample Time said, but it wasn’t necessary.

Even only understanding a few words, Seal immediately realized what these guys meant.

Damn it!

These deceitful blue coat gophers!

Although it hurt him as if his heart was bleeding, Seal still took out the money he carried with him and reluctantly stuffed it into Ample Time’s hands. "This is the entire cash flow in my store... There are 3,500 chips here."

Night Ten turned to look at Gale. "Do you believe it? The cash flow in his store just happens to be a round number."

Gale gave him a strange look. "Do you still mind these kinds of details when you play games?"

Night Ten sheered. "No, I just thought that the looks of these NPCs in this game are very realistic, even when they’re lying through their teeth.”

"..."

There was nothing to be courteous with a profiteer, Ample Time took the bag from Seal without hesitation, counted it carefully twice. After confirming there was no problem, he hung it on his waist.

With a sunny smile on his face, Ample Time said in a cheerful tone, "Glad you appreciate our art."

"What you want is inside. Please come with us."

For the sake of art!

Seal followed in his footsteps with anger, and walked towards the building that was being renovated.

Although the process was full of twists and turns, he finally got what he wanted.

Staring at the goods stuffed within the package, Seal made up his mind that he had to squeeze the money out of his old friend.

However, just as he was about to leave, Shu Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stopped him. "Please wait a moment."

Stopping at the door, Seal turned his head and looked up and down the young man in front of him. "Anything else?"

Shu Yu shook his head. "No, I’m just curious who would buy such expensive clothes. Can you satisfy my curiosity?"

Heh. Do you think I would tell you?

Although he didn’t show a look of annoyance on his face, Seal spoke without mincing his words. "The person who can afford so many clothes is naturally a big shot. As for who it was sold to, I certainly cannot disclose it. It concerns the privacy of the customer. I hope you can understand."

The deal was done, and the transaction had been completed.

Seal was about to turn around and leave, but the young man continued to speak, "Oh, so you have connections and do business with big shots."

Seal said proudly, "Of course, Gray Squirrel Clothing Store has customers all over the wasteland, and I’m not bragging."

"Really?" Shu Yu continued after thinking for a while, "Actually, we still have many similar products. If you have sales channels, we can consider cooperation."

"You have more of them?!” Seal opened his eyes wide in shock. He hurriedly walked over and urged, “How many more do you have, I want them all!"

That eager expression and movement revealed the urgency in his heart. Shu Yu’s lips curled up into a smile, but he said calmly, "What I’m talking about is not selling off all the inventory we have, but the ability to produce more. Of course, it will take some time to make the goods, so please leave me an address and I will send someone to find you when it is done."

"Gray Squirrel Clothing Store, the location is at the entrance of the market nearby!" Seal pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, quickly wrote down the address on it, and politely handed it to the young man in front of him.

Looking at the young man who took the note, he smiled and continued, "If you still have the goods, please be sure to contact me! Whether it is for consignment or other cooperation methods, my Gray Squirrel Clothing Store is happy to help you!"

Shu Yu nodded slightly. "I will think about it."
