"Greetings beings of Planet 5-1-18-20-8, I am here to trade on behalf of the Supre Being"
"Huh?"
Everyone was shocked, especially those normal people who were staying on the floor. The only two who weren't incredibly shocked were rlin, and the lady who was protecting the people.
rlin quickly rushed up to the rchant and said, "I would like to make a deal with you."
With an extrely respectful tone, rlin even went to the extent to give a bow. From all his etings with powerful rchants, he knew one thing is that they loved well-behaved humans, and that they loved profit. Therefore, he behaved as well-mannered and respectfully as he could.
"Hmm? What do we have here?"
The rchant was slightly taken aback. He wasn't expecting a human to suddenly appear in front of him as soon as he ca through the gate, and ask him for a deal. On top of that, this human was about as strong as his currently sealed body. Which should have made him the strongest human on this planet currently, a Tier 1 being. But such a human was bowing down to him while asking for a deal, and not behaving arrogantly at all.
The rchant was satisfied with this show of respect. He was Deux, the second most powerful, in terms of personal strength, or in terms of military might, under the supre being's direct subordinate rchants.
He had been sent here under a direct order, and so he imdiately departed for this newly evolved planet. Such a planet would have a lot of treasures, not yet destroyed mana beings or mana. His mood was already incredibly good, to be given access to this treasure house, and now there was soone who was the strongest being bowing in front of him.
His ego was satiated for the ti being, and he calmly said,
"Rise little one. Speak, what is this deal you wish to make with the great Deux."
"Yes. I would like to make a deal of treasures with you"
Suddenly, the rchant's face grew more serious as he said,
"You do know what a Deal of Treasures is right?"
Yes. It is a contract ford between a rchant and a player. The rchant will act as the sponsor for the player, and in return, will be given a certain amount of treasures every month."
"Hmm. It seems like you have so knowledge on us rchants. And how do you know this?"
"Hehe. That Mr. Deux, is the only one of my secrets that does not have a price."
"Oho, it seems like you have so more secrets which have a price? Tell , what do you know? I will give you appropriate prices for each of these secrets."
rlin was not fooled. Deux was trying to swindle him of his knowledge without any paynt, and rlin already knew all of this. He had already been fooled too many tis by the like of these greedy rchants. He already knew all the tricks they had, and so he wasn't moved at all by this little trick.
"Ok then. I will begin now. My first secret is"
The rchant was already gloating on the inside at the stupidity of this human. Although he had so knowledge on rchants, he did not know about the fact that all rchants loved to swindle lower life-forms.
"But before that, I would like to form a Deal of Equal Exchange"
Damnit! The rchant was montarily stunned before he began to curse on the inside. This deceitful human had already known about this trick and was just playing with him. But, he still wanted information, which was the second best thing for rchants, after treasures.
What were treasures? Simply put, they were collectables of a planet. rchants acted like couriers, visiting planets, and collecting things unique to those planets, and selling them to superior beings who wished to create collections. These supre beings often compared their collections with each other as a form of competition, since fighting among themselves over superiority might destroy universes, and may cause shifts on the flow of ti itself.
"Hmph. Fine"
With this, a paper ca out of the special ring of the rchant. The paper looked slightly old, with ancient texts written on them. These texts were runes, the very runes which had allowed rlin to create his puppet kingdom. However, these were not runes of power, but were simply runic characters without any power. They only existed as a universal language between all beings allowing them all to communicate.
Even while speaking, the rchant was using runic characters in his voice, which automatically changed to English, Japanese, French, and any other language the person wanted to hear.
With an even smile plastered on his face, rlin took the paper, and without even looking at it, he pointed to several places without saying a word.
But the rchants face grew increasingly pale with every points. Why was that? Because the rchant had creating almost 800 different loopholes and areas to adjust in the contract for himself, and rlin was slowly pointing out each and every one of them.
"Ok Ok. Stop! I will give you a true contract. Stop."
Snatching the paper, the rchant took out another paper and handed it to rlin, who didn't even look at this paper. He simply shook his head saying,
"A True Contract of Equal Exchange is what I requested. Not a True Contract of Slaves."
The rchant was dumb-founded. How was this puny human seeing through all his tricks without even opening his eyes.
rlin had already known each of these tricks, and although different rchants used them in different styles, the basis for all of them was the sa.
After another 20 tries, Deux was out of tricks, and finally conceited defeat by giving the correct contract. rlin opened it and read through it before signing it.
"Now, tell , what secrets do you know?"
"Alright, but I want to discuss it sowhere else" he said while pointing to the still unmoving people behind him.
*Swoosh*
With the flick of his wrist, a wind-type barrier was ford to prevent sound from escaping.
"Now, go on human."
"Right. So, I will inform you that I am currently the strongest person on this planet."
"I already got that. Around 5 credits for confirming that."
"I will also inform you that I am creating an army"
"Oh! And?"
"And it already has one player"
"Oh! Good! 200 credits. Next"
"My army also has a pre-awakened"
" 300 credits. I'm sorry. But that is all the information I can afford for now. I haven't brought much with . So, for the information so far, you have a total of 505 credits, ti limit for using them is 10 minutes. The ti starts now"
'Tch. This cheeky b*stard. Wanting to reduce my gains by limiting the ti? Haha. It doesn't matter. I already know what I'm going to buy.'
"Show all the Tier 1 staffs you have, along with all the Health potions and scrolls. I also want to see any armours. Set everything to remove anything I cannot afford as I make purchases and my points reduce. And make the system answer, I do not want you to waste my ti."
"Tch."
Noticing that rlin had seen through his sche once again, he displayed everything on through the system.
"These are so good options. And they are so cheap as well! I will take this, this, 10 of these, no! make that 20"
