Chapter 228: The Last Ti

There was only one thought lingering in Zhang Mu’s mind now.

Looks can be deceiving, and the sea’s depth cannot be asured.

But this chubby man really doesn’t care about his image, I wonder if the first-ranked Era Sub-rchant was scared when he first saw him.

He was already exaggerating when lying down, but now that the chubby man sits up, his belly is sagging to the ground, giving Zhang Mu a chilling thought.

Do the Era rchants have any physical needs? Do they need to remove the layer of thick grease on No. 29 to continue?

However, his expression could not reveal so many thoughts, still looking respectfully at No. 29.

“Is this your second Era rchant task?” No. 29 leaned against the shiny dragon throne, looking down at Zhang Mu with a dreamy gaze.

“Yes, I have already completed one Era rchant task before. After I received the task, I ca directly to Shan Xi City.” Zhang Mu answered No. 29’s question respectfully, looking directly at him.

“This is already the second ti. Oh, comparing yourself to others can be frustrating. None of the people I recruited have returned from their first Era rchant task. I recruited them quickly at the start of Blissful Era, purchased slots, and sent them all out.”

“But only one of them ca back to deliver, their luck was poor. Despite the favorable conditions and high profits of the first task, the profit earned was not enough to et the basic requirents of completing an order, so I let them go.”

No wonder Long Qi Long Er and the others did not notice the Era Sub-rchant issue. It turns out that on the second day of the apocalypse, they were already recruited and sent out by No. 29.

Only one person has co back to Shan Xi City afterwards, it’s normal not to be noticed.

Zhang Mu was not proud of this, but humbly said, “I was recruited as an Era Sub-rchant by No. 37 on the first day by chance. With good luck and the highest discount, as you know, that’s why I completed this Era rchant task so quickly.”

“Oh, I see. Well, you are No. 001, the first Era Sub-rchant recruited in this test field,” No. 29 shifted his obese body and continued, “Let’s follow the normal process of Era transactions. Even though you appear to be a team now, the basic principles of Era transactions cannot be changed. You go first, release the Era Region goods you obtained from No. 37, and I will check the price I can offer you.”

Seeing No. 29 being direct, Zhang Mu didn’t waste any ti. He pointed his Era rchant Ring towards No. 29, and with the mysterious power of the Era Store, five Yellow River Carp from Zhang Mu’s Era rchant Ring floated silently in this magnificent palace, emitting a brilliant light.

“Oh? Those are the Yellow River Carp from that guy. Hmm, not bad, the quality is even higher than the standard requirent. You are lucky kid. Among the prices I receive this ti, the one for Luo Yang City where you belong is the highest in this area. This is the price automatically updated by the system. I didn’t expect it to be so generous to you.”

“How much is that?” Zhang Mu was starting to feel excited now, as this was the last clear price mory for him in this year, and the upcoming Era transactions would rely on his experience.

Suddenly, a dragon head on the throne opened its mouth wide and spit out an enormous golden pearl hidden inside it, perhaps the size of a fist, hovering in the air.

Before Zhang Mu could even marvel at No. 29’s extravagant aura, the golden pearl projected a beam of light down, scanning Zhang Mu’s body, interrupting his thoughts. It turned out to be a chanical list, similar to the stars with No. 37 and the flas of No. 35, sothing so spiritual from them but now looking so mundane.

Of course, he could only silently complain about it in his heart, not daring to say it out loud.

It didn’t take long for the scanning results of this chanical list in the form of a golden pearl to be revealed.

“No. 001, the first-ranked Era Sub-rchant in Luo Yang City.”

“Carry goods from Era Region, 5 pieces of Yellow River Carp.”

“Now displaying prices of Era Region goods in Luo Yang City: Yellow River Carp, value of 1.5 gold leaf per piece; Luoyang Peony Bud, value of 2.5 gold leaf per piece, do you want to sell all?”

Indeed, Zhang Mu’s mory was correct, the price increase for Yellow River Carp and Luoyang Peony Bud was the sa, but due to different costs, the profit margin for Yellow River Carp was a full 50%, while Luoyang Peony Bud was only half of that.

Furthermore, when Zhang Mu purchased Yellow River Carp, the cost was at a discount of 20% from the normal Era rchant price, this decision directly increased his current gold leaf holdings to 7 and a half, which was close to the required ten. If the profit was normal, he only needed to make one trip to Luo Yang City to complete this Era rchant task, bringing him halfway to becoming an Interdiate Era rchant.

“Of course, I will sell all.”

Once Zhang Mu confird, a golden light radiated from the golden pearl, swallowing up all five of Zhang Mu’s Yellow River Carp, leaving his Era rchant Ring glittering with seven and a half gold leaf.

Looking at the number of gold leaf, a smile appeared on Zhang Mu’s face as he calmly said, “Let’s continue, show the Era Region goods from Shan Xi City.”

If the goods prices and inventory are updated monthly, it’s very likely that there will be new items at No. 29, because Zhang Mu tid his visit to Shan Xi City just right, coinciding with the monthly update. It’s possible that one of his Era Sub-rchants under his command had co back for a trade, so there’s no need to worry about shortages.

This was his last vivid mory of Era trading prices, just like the collective mory of humanity where everyone knows Mount Everest as the tallest peak; few rember the second highest peak, Mount K2, also known as the Savage Mountain. Rembering the third and fourth peaks becos even rarer.

When Zhang Mu made a trade request, the golden pearl shimred and then made a chanical sound.

“No. 001 sends a request to buy goods from Era Region, and No. 29 Era rchant approves it.”

“Trading goods from Era Region, begin.”
