My Talent Panel Can Add Points

Chapter 36: Chapter 35: The Deal

Ye Mingqiu sat down, glanced at the tea, and then looked away.

After all, he couldn’t drink tea with the mask on.

The supervisor politely smiled and said, ”Sir, you probably didn’t come here just to sell things.... you have other goals, right?”

”Three-star Skill Book, Attribute Enhancement Items, and items for creating a team,” Ye Mingqiu said.

”Oh~”

The supervisor nodded deeply, his expression changing slightly, then said, ”These things aren’t cheap; they’re all rare items. How about I go to the back warehouse to check the situation and bring what we have in stock for you?”

”Alright.”

”Please wait a moment, sir. The evaluation won’t take long. If needed, I’ll have someone call me,” the supervisor said with a smile as he stood up.

”Okay.”

Ye Mingqiu watched him leave.

Although the other party was still polite on the surface, his attitude was slightly more distant than before.

...

After exiting, the supervisor’s face turned somewhat grim, and he muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear, ”Just offering that bit of low-level equipment and wanting such good stuff, this guy seems quite greedy... better to keep some distance.”

He thought for a moment and finally decided to prepare the items in the warehouse.

Even though he felt confident in his judgment, he knew it was always good to leave a backup plan at every moment; if the other party had more to offer and he didn’t bring any items, it would be bad.

Two minutes later, the supervisor’s communication device vibrated slightly. Standing at the room’s door with the items he’d just fetched from the warehouse, he glanced at the screen, his eyes flickering with light.

Are there accessories in the equipment? And they’re Bronze Level accessories? All Black Iron and Bronze Level equipment are undamaged; were they directly sold after being acquired?

The supervisor’s eyes brightened. If that’s the case with this batch, there was more room to maneuver; indeed, preparing ahead of time was the correct move.

....

Soon, the supervisor returned to the room, donned a professional smile, and said, ”Sir, I’ve found the items you need in our inventory. Would you like to inspect the goods or settle the equipment first?”

”Inspect the goods.”

”Okay, sir.”

The supervisor directly retrieved a skill book and a green vial from the storage space and shared the basic information.

[Skill Book: Basic Constitution]

Skill Tier: ★★★

Effect: Use to gain Level 1 Basic Constitution skill; can improve physical basic attributes, with each point of constitution providing a higher body strength conversion rate.

[re Cell Genetic Essence]

Type: Potion

Effect: Significantly enhances Power and Constitution attributes upon use. The higher the basic attributes, the lesser the enhancement effect; no effect if basic attributes exceed 30.

”Is this... meant to complement a main tank?”

Ye Mingqiu raised an eyebrow, looked up, and smiled at the supervisor.

The main tank needs basic attributes beyond just Constitution. Without enough Power, the opposing warrior could easily disarm the tank’s shield.

”Yes, exactly, but you’re a new customer of our commerce association and making a relatively large transaction. So I’d like to offer one of these items to you for free as a personal gesture. What do you think?” the supervisor asked with a smile.

”Let’s see how much the equipment can sell for first,” Ye Mingqiu said.

He realized he was dealing with a seasoned pro, slightly skimming off the equipment’s Spiritual Points profit as gift conversion yet holding off part for himself.

If he had backing forces, this would surely help in seizing more profit while discreetly building a network.

”Alright, sir.”

The supervisor glanced over a ledger and said with a smile, ”Your equipment is fine, just slightly worn, affecting their value slightly, so the pricing might be a little lower. Ultimately, we can offer you a price of 12,682 Spiritual Points. I’ll round it to 13,000 for you.”

Damn merchant, the value of this equipment should be no less than 20,000; I’d broadcast it live if it were! How can there be wear when it hasn’t been used since it was dropped!

Thinking this, Ye Mingqiu calculated the value of the skill book and genetic essence. The Three-star Skill Book was extremely valuable and should be worth about 5,000 Spiritual Points, but his equipment’s value was undoubtedly more than 20,000. These tricky merchants would sell it for a good price.

He then gently tapped the table and said, ”1,000 Spiritual Points, and the genetic essence is a gift to me.”

”No problem, consider it making a friend. My last name is Hou; just call me Xiao Hou,” the supervisor said as he handed over the items, initiating a seamless transfer.

Supervisor Hou was smart; seeing Ye Mingqiu in disguise indicated a desire for anonymity, concealing identity and information, prompting him to assist discreetly during the transaction.

Seamless transfers wouldn’t leave record traces for either party, making it the best choice.

Seeing Supervisor Hou proceed so decisively in the deal, Ye Mingqiu inwardly acknowledged: This isn’t good; it’s even worse than expected! I underestimated these business shrewdness!

Though he felt discontented, Ye Mingqiu kept a composed face and accepted the transfer.

[Spiritual Points credited: 13,000]

Damn merchant! I... I wish your mother good health, all the best, and success in everything.

Feeling noticeably better, Ye Mingqiu, looking at Supervisor Hou’s sincere smile, suddenly felt a pleasant breeze, even knowing the guy most certainly hadn’t lost out, he still felt much more comfortable than before.

It’s not about the money, just the attitude, and Supervisor Hou’s attitude was quite good.

”Sir, here’s your transaction receipt.”

Supervisor Hou smiled as he handed over the receipt, detailing each equipment’s durability, estimated value, and final price.

Quite a skillful hand!

After taking the receipt, Supervisor Hou continued smiling, ”Sir, for a promising customer like you, our Floating World Commerce Association has always offered the highest respect. Here’s our association’s Golden Card for you. Present this Card next time you enter the association, and you can go straight in.”

”The highest respect is just a Golden Card?”

”I’m bold to guess, what you need most now isn’t a Platinum Card but a Golden Card,” Supervisor Hou remarked with a continued smile.

Even though a Platinum Card offers more benefits, it’s also more conspicuous. If someone in disguise shows up with a Platinum Card, they wouldn’t remain discreet anymore.

Also, frankly, Ye Mingqiu’s transaction volume isn’t high enough yet for a Platinum Card, though that’s not to be plainly stated. It should be expressed more artistically.

”Good, you’re smart,”

Ye Mingqiu accepted the Golden Card, feeling a distinctive touch beneath, secretly finding a business card attached.

He said no more, quietly pocketing the Golden Card as he left the commerce association.
