Chapter 121: A Makeover
“No. 337, basic level era sub-rchant. Please choose the type of trading to proceed next.”
Once he heard the sound, Zhang Mu imdiately responded eagerly, “Era local goods. Let take a look at the list of era local goods for this month.”
“Transaction type: era local goods. The transaction will comnce now, and the ti limit is 10 minutes. Please use your ti wisely.” Zhang Mu swiftly did a calculation regarding the price. It seed that the price had risen by 30% compared to the past month. The price inflation was a little startling as it usually rose or fell by 10%.
Initially, he received five golden leaves. But he required 15 golden leaves to complete his task. Currently, Zhang Mu had 11 golden leaves on his hand, and the unit price was on an acceptable range for him to afford. According to his past experience, if the purchasing price increased rapidly, then the selling price would be more astonishing.
Despite that, this also ant that Zhang Mu could not take any risks this ti. At first, he thought that if the unit price was cheaper, he could go to another era rchant shop to partake a different risk evasion. But with the price now, he might as well put all of his worth here.
At the sa ti, it ant that Zhang Mu did not put all the eggs in the sa basket this ti, with so of the eggs parted from the basket.
However, based on the experience he had over the years, this should be an opportunity. If not, the sub-rchant above him would not be so eager to finish the trade. It seems that he must have the sa thoughts as Zhang Mu, knowing that this was an opportunity too. He must have recently begun the task because, from the remaining quantity from the era local goods, Zhang Mu calculated he had about ten golden leaves on his hand. That was the initial amount that an interdiate sub-rchant would have.
This also provided Zhang Mu a chance. For the past six months, he had been calculating the profit ratio between the two local goods of Luoyang city. Typically, the earnings for the Yellow River Carp was higher. Therefore, he decided to use 60% of his wealth to purchase Yellow River Carp while the remaining 40% would be used to buy Luoyang Peony Bud.
As such, Zhang Mu would not encounter those kinds of goods that would gain a sudden value that would result in a direct completion of the task. By doing so, it would also maintain stable trading as sothing with a huge price fluctuation was the one that Zhang Mu could not bear to have.
“Transaction completed. The golden leaves have been automatically deducted, and the local goods have been issued to No. 337’s rchant ring. Please check. No. 337, do you want to carry out another transaction? Currently, you can carry out an era general goods transaction. Authority: Basic level.”
Zhang Mu rembered that he had rely collected a few thousands of first-ranked crystals and only over hundreds of second-ranked crystals in his rchant ring. After much contemplation, he decided to dismiss it.
The Cataclysm had begun for 3 years now, and this amount of crystals did not have the power to purchase many era general goods that were increased rapidly over the years.
“Just send out.”
From the rchant ring, Zhang Mu picked out an item and draped it over his body. He made a firm decision as he looked at the list of goods in front of him. From this mont onwards, he must use a month ti to find a suitable era shop to trade and return back before the price updates again.
He only had one month and ten days left before the deadline of his task. Perceiving that he had to play on the safe side every ti during an era trade, he could only earn roughly 5% to 20% of profit each ti. Furthermore, all of this depended on the number of golden leaves he had to accumulate over ti. Therefore, the ti consud would also be increased correspondingly.
“No. 337, the monthly transaction has ended. I look forward to your next visit.”
Because Zhang Mu was accustod to the strange force that drove him out every ti, hardly any discomfort appeared on his face when he was sent out of the era rchant shop. Looking at the traces of space slowly disappeared, Zhang Mu rely took a glance before turning away.
Just now, I might be a little faster than the fourth sub-rchant, so I had the priority to go in first. Thinking of it now, that young man should be comncing the trade at this mont.
Zhang Mu spun around and walked away, with no plans of waiting for him. The two of them would only co into contact because of the era rchant trade and also because they were from the sa era rchant. Therefore, they only had a little more trust between each other as compared to the others.
Right now, from the other perspective, Zhang Mu was invisible and had integrated into the environnt as one.
To achieve this, he had used the only item that the era rchant gave after the sub-rchant had completed five tasks. It was a cloak that allowed the person to integrate into their environnt using extraordinary substance from the star series. It also served to deceive others’ vision, including the evolvers that had sight ability. At the sa ti, it also shielded the emission of heat and odor. Zhang Mu could not explain why it had such a function, but it was quite useful.
However, this cloak must be worn inside the era rchant shop, and it only lasts for half a day. Once removed, it could not be resud. Nevertheless, it was still enough for sub-rchants which were made up of evolvers.
Although everyone who went against the era rchant was dead, the benefits it brought was too good to be true. Therefore, many base leaders would be intrigued and target those sub-rchants who seed easier to attack.
In the city, they would not dare to stir up troubles. But what if it was in the wild? Ever since there was news that sub-rchant were killed in the wild and the fact that the era rchant would not pursue the matter but would transfer the rchant ring to them, it gave a reason for powerful leaders to stay fearless. In this case, soone like Zhang Mu who lived his life hanging by a thread, would beco everyone’s target.
However, when these base leader realized that the location of the sub-rchant was actually an enormous piece of at, all sub-rchants who had survived, already promoted to at least a basic position. With this cloak, they could go out of the city.
A small businessman like Zhang Mu, would never have the nerve to face the base leaders and carry out substantial trading. Either way, he could only split them out and do retail selling, or trade the goods with sub-rchants. Helpless, but there was no other alternative.
Zhang Mu wore the invisible cloak, but he never left Luoyang city. Instead, he went into a small alley.
When he ca out from the alley, he had swapped into a new face. His height also grew 5 centiters tall, with an image of a tall beardly man and a knife scar running down his face.
The human skin mask was a rare item that Zhang Mu generated using the era general goods system that randomly produced an extraordinary object. Even though it was expensive and required every crystal that Zhang Mu had, but in order to protect his life, he could only grit his teeth and brought the item. Since then, he had been using it over a year.
Luoyang city had been reconstructed once after the Cataclysm. Using the power of the earth evolvers to surround the entire city, only an entrance was implented for people to enter and exit.
“To leave the city, please pay 10 first-ranked crystals.”
A sluggish voice was heard from the guard defending the gates of Luoyang city. Zhang Mu pretended to be an ordinary evolver and gave a painful expression. That causes a few of the guard to disdain him with their eyes. When the gate was opened, he followed the crowd in front of him and marched out from Luoyang city. Staring at Zhang Mu’s figure going farther away, the guards took five of the crystals and pocketed it. He hefted the bag of crystals and sent a sly smile toward the direction that Zhang Mu left, “Ah, what a good way to earn crystals!”
