Chapter 59

Thank you very much for the support from 'tanzit' and '残星岁月断天涯'!

Time passed as the shrewd man counted and the silent man drank his tea. There was no way around it; the materials the silent man brought, though a bit low-level, were quite numerous. It took some time to count them all.

Well, the silent man wasn't in a hurry anyway. The girls, like Chrysanthemum, were probably still enjoying their girl time...

"Sir!" At one point, the shrewd man finally finished counting all the materials. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, came to the silent man's side, and bowed his head, saying, "I have finished counting. The total value of your materials and magic crystals is 199,500 gold coins. If you agree, we can round it up to 200,000 gold coins. What do you think?"

"200,000 gold coins, huh?" The silent man pondered for a moment. This was close to the price he knew, and even a bit higher. So he nodded in agreement. "Alright, let's do it this way!"

The shrewd man immediately smiled, apologized to the silent man, and then went out. A moment later, he came back in, holding a golden card in his hands. He presented it to the silent man with both hands. "Sir, here are 200,000 gold coins! Please check if it's correct..."

Taking the golden card from the shrewd man, the silent man looked at the number 200,000 displayed on it and nodded in satisfaction. He then put it into his spatial ring.

Of course, 200,000 gold coins couldn't be brought out all at once. Even 10,000 gold coins would be quite heavy. Not everyone had a spatial item like the silent man. Therefore, in the Spalier world, there were places similar to banks, but they were called gold banks.

This golden card was like a credit card. Carrying such a card was much easier than carrying a pile of gold coins. When payment was needed, one just had to verify the amount, which was very convenient. The card also displayed the balance, thanks to a small magic spell.

Although the silent man had never seen a golden card before, he had inquired about the gold bank, so he wouldn't be embarrassed by not recognizing it. He didn't want to be mistaken for a country bumpkin, especially since even a bumpkin would have heard of a golden card...

After handling the magic crystals and materials, the silent man thought for a moment and then asked the shrewd man, "By the way, do you buy military equipment?"

In the 'Whirlwind Butler'副本 world, the silent man's level had increased significantly. By the end, he was far beyond his initial level of the twenties. Naturally, he had replaced his equipment with two rare C-grade military items. The D-grade Kusanagi sword had been phased out...

He originally planned to give it to Chrysanthemum, but he didn't expect her to already have a White Sakura of the same level.

Thus, the Kusanagi sword became idle in the silent man's spatial ring. He initially planned to keep it as a memento, as it was the first piece of equipment he obtained in this world, and from that point on, his life had completely changed.

Later, the silent man thought that there were other things worth remembering, and keeping the D-grade Kusanagi sword as a memento wasn't necessary. For example, those two safety pants...

So, the silent man decided to sell the Kusanagi sword!

The shrewd man, caught off guard by this sudden question, was so shocked that his jaw dropped to the ground. He looked at the silent man, choking a bit, and stammered, "S... Sir... Y... You want to sell military equipment?"

Seeing the shrewd man's exaggerated reaction, the silent man could only sigh inwardly. Although he knew that military equipment was precious, having a system that could exchange for any level of equipment, he didn't really understand just how precious it was.

But there was no other choice. Chrysanthemum wasn't a dual-wielder and had the White Sakura, and Misa didn't want it...

So, the silent man decided to sell the Kusanagi sword. After all, it was just sitting there, and if he really needed it, he could always exchange for it again. D-grade equipment wasn't expensive anyway.

Probably only the silent man in the entire Spalier world could say such a thing...

D-grade equipment was mass-produced military equipment!

Equipment that only fifth-rank warriors could use!

And the silent man said it wasn't expensive...

If the poor fifth-rank warriors knew what the silent man was thinking, they would probably spit blood on their 'junk' equipment...

"How about it? Can you handle it?" The silent man looked at the shrewd man with a smile.

The shrewd man was taken aback. He lowered his head, took a deep breath, and then said with a bitter smile, "Sir, although our trading house has handled military equipment before, it was always through auctions. After all, military equipment is too precious to be handled through ordinary buying and selling..."

The silent man nodded in understanding. He had guessed this would be the case and was just asking out of curiosity.

Seeing that the silent man didn't seem to mind, the shrewd man gritted his teeth and said, "How about this? You entrust the military equipment to us, and we will handle the auction. We will only charge a 5% commission. What do you think?"

Not good! 5%? That's a rip-off...

Glancing at the shrewd man, the silent man shrugged. Although 5% seemed like a rip-off, he knew that auctions were the best way to maximize profit. The Kusanagi sword's price should be high after an auction, and even with a 5% commission, he wouldn't lose out...

"Do you have an auction house in your trading house?" The silent man pondered for a moment and asked.

"No! Our trading house doesn't have an auction house," the shrewd man shook his head and explained, "In the supply town, there is only one auction house. However, our trading house has some connections with the auction house. In fact, most trading houses in the supply town have some connection with the auction house. After all, some valuable items can't be sold for a good price without an auction. So, trading houses like ours always need to deal with the auction house for mutual benefit."

The silent man immediately understood. Of course, this didn't concern him. As long as it met his requirements, anything was fine.

With a flick of his hand, the Kusanagi sword appeared in the silent man's hand, sheathed. He gently handled it and then placed it on the table, pointing to it, the meaning clear.

"Is this the military equipment you want to sell? It looks like a sword, but it's quite small..." The shrewd man carefully picked up the Kusanagi sword with both hands, as if he were holding his own son.

He carefully drew out a section of the blade, brought his eyes close to it, and examined it from different angles, looking somewhat shifty.

Then, he awkwardly scratched his head and smiled, "I'm really sorry, but I've never seen military equipment before, so I can't determine its level. But since you brought it, I believe it's genuine."

After saying this, the shrewd man handed the silent man a card. "Sir, there will be an auction tonight. Your military equipment will be displayed then. This is a VIP card for the auction house. With this card, you can go directly to the auction house to watch, and if you like something, you can bid on it!"

"Oh?" The silent man had heard of auctions but had never seen one, let alone participated in one. He became interested and took the VIP card, putting it into his spatial ring. "I understand. I'll be there!"

"After the auction, I will come to your VIP room to bring you the proceeds." The shrewd man looked at the silent man with a bit of envy, though he didn't know which spatial item the silent man had, he was envious of its convenience.

The silent man nodded and, under the respectful gaze of the shrewd man, walked out of the room...

(Tian Tu Zong Heng... I am a victim... Considering that I haven't stopped updating even in such a situation, please give me some recommendations and favorites...)
