"Hey, young man, don't you want to buy a few of these Power-Up Pills? They're limited edition, you know. I see you're carrying a pair of dual blades made from Sare Bird materials on your back; you must be a skilled hunter who knows how to enter the Demonization state. With these Power-Up Pills, you'll be like a cat with wings, meow!" Wenlong said.
"Power-Up Pills?" Claude was taken aback, as if he had suddenly come to his senses, "Sure, how many Power-Up Pills do you have left... eight?"
"That's right, young man, I have eight left. How many would you like?"
Wenlong said this, thinking about selling as many as possible to the man in front of him. After all, in Wenlong's plan, he needed a lot of money to clear the land, build a house, and hire some Ailu cats to help manage the fields and beehives.
However, what Wenlong didn't expect was that Claude's next words would shock him.
"I'll take all eight."
Not only Wenlong, but everyone around him let out exclamations of surprise.
One Power-Up Pill costs 998 silver coins, and there were very few hunters in Mirard Village who could afford it. Now, someone was saying they would buy all eight Power-Up Pills at once. This undoubtedly made the poor hunters of Mirard Village envious and jealous.
Of course, unlike the ordinary hunters who were envious and jealous of Claude's wealth, Wenlong was thinking about more practical issues.
"Damn, I really met a big spender, how easy to fleece! Meow!"
But just as Wenlong was thinking this, Claude spoke again.
"But I don't have that much money on me right now. How about you come with me to my residence to get the money?"
"Your residence? Where is it, meow?"
"Don't worry, it's in the second-floor guest room of the Silver Dragon Pavilion, not far from here. I just need you to help me deliver it, it won't take long," Claude explained, "And you can rest assured about my credibility. I'm a registered hunter in the guild, I won't take the opportunity to snatch the Power-Up Pills from you..."
As he spoke, Claude took out a hunter badge that represented his identity. The badge had two stars side by side, both shining with a golden light.
"It's a two-star gold badge! This person is a two-star high-level hunter!" someone in the crowd immediately shouted.
"No wonder he can pay for eight Power-Up Pills at once. If he's a two-star high-level hunter, that's no problem... No, even ten Power-Up Pills should be within his means!"
From the moment Claude showed his hunter badge, no one in the crowd doubted that he could afford to buy eight Power-Up Pills at once.
Wenlong also thought about it: indeed, the amount of gold needed to buy eight Power-Up Pills was not a small sum, and most people wouldn't carry that much money around. Moreover, Wenlong was confident that with his own strength, the other party wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
So Wenlong immediately replied, "Alright, young man, I'll bring them and deliver them to you!"
"Mr. Cat..." Catherine, who seemed to have a woman's intuition, looked a bit worried, "I want to go with you."
"Is that really a good idea?" As soon as he heard that Catherine wanted to go with him, Claude immediately said, "Didn't Miss Sasha from the Hunter's Guild already go to get your new hunter badges? It would be better for you to stay here and wait for her to bring the badges. Let your Ailu cat accompany me to deliver the pills."
Claude's reasons were very proper, leaving no room for criticism, but the perceptive Wenlong still felt something was off.
"Why would someone consider things to this extent for a first meeting? And why did he immediately find a reason to keep Catherine here when she wanted to go with me? Even if he's very considerate, his reaction was too quick, as if he had planned it all along... meow."
Although he felt something was off, it was just a guess. After thinking about it for a while, Wenlong didn't see any major problems.
So Wenlong said to Catherine, "Don't worry, lady, just wait here. By the way, that woman named Sasha is bringing us one-star high-level hunter badges, so it wouldn't be good for us to leave now. Besides, the Silver Dragon Pavilion is not far from here. I'll be back soon, meow."
"Alright, Mr. Cat, come back quickly." Catherine nodded and said.
Thus, Wenlong went with Claude to the Silver Dragon Pavilion, while Catherine stayed at the entrance of the Hunter's Guild office in Mirard Village, waiting for Sasha to bring the new hunter badges.
Entering the Silver Dragon Pavilion, Wenlong and Claude arrived at the door of the guest room at the far end of the second floor.
Anyone who had stayed at the Silver Dragon Pavilion in Mirard Village knew that this was the most luxuriously decorated guest room in the entire Silver Dragon Pavilion, and perhaps even in the entire village. The fact that Claude could stay in such a room clearly demonstrated his financial strength.
Not only was the room eight times larger than a regular guest room, but it was also divided into several sections, including a bedroom, a living room, a study, and an outdoor balcony, which were not found in regular guest rooms. It also had the most luxurious decoration and the most prestigious guest services in the entire village.
Sure enough, when the door to the guest room was opened, Wenlong heard a整齐的欢迎声.
"Welcome back, Master."
Standing in the room were six Ailu cats, dressed in maid-like outfits, lined up on both sides of the room, bowing to Claude.
Wenlong was genuinely surprised. While many people hired Ailu cats to do tasks, he had never seen anyone hire so many Ailu cats and have them wear maid outfits to serve them.
"Although I thought cat-eared maids were cute when I was human... these cat-eared maids are not at all cute!" Wenlong complained to himself.
"Mr. Ailu cat, please sit down and rest for a moment. I need to go to the bedroom to get the money, please wait a moment." Claude said and entered the bedroom.
"Indeed, it's a very luxurious guest room..."
Wenlong sat down at the table, and an Ailu cat maid nearby handed him a freshly brewed cup of tea.
After a while, Claude finally came out, holding a sandalwood box about the size of a computer case.
