Undead Mage from a Cell

Chapter 199: Chapter 197: Obtaining a Large Building (57/150)

Just as Lei Pengpeng said, taking a look won’t cost you anything.

So Gu Xi and Lei Pengpeng found a place to sit down and looked at the large building that Lei Pengpeng and his team received from completing their task.

From just the first glance, Gu Xi understood why Lei Pengpeng and his group didn’t keep this large building for themselves.

If Gu Xi had no city of his own, he wouldn’t dare to use it for personal use either. If such a building were placed in the wilderness, it would absolutely become a point of contention between military forces, and these three wouldn’t be able to hold onto it at all.

[White Bone Demon Lamp (Green): An oil lamp made from the skulls of a Witch Demon, a Corpse Witch, a Blood Mage, and a Skeleton Mage. If this oil lamp is placed at a designated location, it can set up a White Bone Magic Tower in a city or in the wilderness.]

[Note: Construction within a city requires a level 1 Magic Tower; wilderness buildings must be constructed near a level 1 Magic Temple.]

[White Bone Magic Tower (Large): Use 1500 resources, 10 units of stone, and 10 units of wood to build a White Bone Magic Tower in a city (large building, upgradeable).

Once completed, 30 Skeleton Mages (level 4) can be trained each week.

If there are other Evil Temples available, regional linkage can increase Skeleton-type species training speed by 50%.

Or, if there are other affiliate structures of the Magic Tower, regional linkage can increase magic-using species training speed by 50% (Choose one regional linkage).

Once completed, the magic output of the affiliated Magic Tower or Magic Temple will increase by +1.]

Skeleton-type species is a hurdle that the Undead Mage cannot bypass.

The Skeleton Mage is the pinnacle of regular troops within the Skeleton-type species, with only the rare Skeleton Knight comparable to them.

No matter who it is, upon seeing a training building capable of training Skeleton Mages in the wilderness, they would not consider its ownership; they would only have one thought: seize it.

Lei Pengpeng and his team understood this point well, which is why they didn’t build this structure in the wilderness to train and sell Skeleton Mages weekly for a living, like a previous player.

Instead, they plan to sell this item.

If the price offered by the Extreme Frozen Sea wasn’t way too low, perhaps even less than 1500 negative energy, Lei Pengpeng wouldn’t have delayed until now.

Seeing such a good item, Gu Xi’s eyes naturally lit up.

”How much are you asking?”

”You want us to quote a price?”

Lei Pengpeng pointed to himself, then looked at Gu Xi with some uncertainty.

”Yes, name your price. If it’s suitable, I’ll take it directly. If it’s not suitable, I’m not someone who’s good at bargaining, so I won’t take it.”

Gu Xi was aware of how talented he was at bargaining.

He wasn’t unaware that certain things could be expensive, but he really lacked the talent for bargaining, so he simply asked for a price directly.

If the price made him satisfied, he would buy it. If it was too high, he wouldn’t haggle, and that would be it.

This straightforwardness caught Lei Pengpeng off guard.

If there was a bargaining episode, Lei Pengpeng could talk someone’s ear off.

But now Gu Xi clearly stated that he wouldn’t haggle with you; you name your price, and if he’s satisfied, he’ll buy it immediately, regardless of whether there is any markup within. If unsatisfied, he won’t buy it.

This simple and direct attitude made Lei Pengpeng hesitate for a moment.

Finally, she spoke, ”Alright, I’ll say a few words, and Comrade Gu can see if he agrees with them. If he agrees, we’ll make the deal at this price; if not, we’ll just consider ourselves friends, and leave it at that.”

”Good, I like straightforward people like you!”

Gu Xi decisively agreed to Lei Pengpeng’s quoting method.

At this moment, Lei Pengpeng began calculating on her own.

”Comrade Gu, let’s first consider from your perspective. Using this White Bone Demon Lamp from us allows you to get a level 1 White Bone Magic Tower instantly. Doesn’t that save on materials?

So I will charge for the cost of materials; that’s not too much, right?”

”Not too much.”

Gu Xi thought about it seriously and realized that this requirement wasn’t too excessive.

If he had bought an architectural design plan to build it himself, he would still need to pay this part of the cost.

”Then that’s settled. Now we’re saving you construction time as well. You’ll have to pay for that, too, right?”

Lei Pengpeng added another comment.

Having used the Little House Backpack in the past, Gu Xi knew that you just place it down and a new building appears, which indeed saved construction time.

”That’s not too much either.”

”Then I’ll calculate based on the current market price of building stones: one building stone costs 500 negative energy. If you don’t believe me, feel free to ask around; it’s the same price everywhere.”

”Alright, I agree with that.”

Gu Xi thought about it seriously and realized it was indeed the case. Although he wasn’t concerned about waiting time, since it was already factored in, he naturally had to agree.

Seeing Gu Xi was so agreeable, Lei Pengpeng became happy too.

”Next comes the most crucial part. I won’t talk about how much effort it took us to complete this task; I’ll just go by the market price for large architectural design plans.

A large architectural design plan requires at least one unit of Dragon Steel.”

”Hold on, how much did you say?”

Gu Xi was stunned after hearing that.

”One unit of Dragon Steel; that’s the standard price, and if it’s for a particularly good large architectural design plan, the price may go higher.”

”I quoted too low.”

Gu Xi slapped his thigh, realizing he had underquoted to Liu Kai.

”What?” Lei Pengpeng didn’t understand. She didn’t think Gu Xi would say that she had underquoted her own price.

”Nothing. Where did you see this market price for large architectural design plans?”

Instead of answering Lei Pengpeng’s question, Gu Xi asked his own question.

”That’s just the price now. I’ve asked several buyers, and they’re only willing to offer that amount.”

This answer made Gu Xi rub his forehead, realizing that without having their own market, material prices tended to be so chaotic.

”Okay, there’s no problem with the price you mentioned.”

Gu Xi didn’t consider too much else. The price of this item in front of him wasn’t exaggerated; apart from being uncertain about the Dragon Steel to large architectural design plan ratio, everything else could be verified.

In this regard, Lei Pengpeng wasn’t trying to cheat him.

Thus, there was nothing to discuss about the price; since Gu Xi genuinely needed this item, he naturally went ahead and bought it.

”Let’s make the deal: one unit of Dragon Steel, 2000 negative energy, 10 units of stone, and 10 units of wood. All are here; please check.”

Seeing the resources Gu Xi easily took out made Lei Pengpeng somewhat astounded.

”A tycoon, huh.”

”Average, but this recent battle was fought hard, and the rewards are a bit higher. Why, do you have more good stuff?”

”I do, but it’s not an architectural design plan. Take a look at this, see if you’ll like it!”

For such a tycoon, Lei Pengpeng didn’t want to let go of the opportunity, so she quickly rummaged through her backpack.
