Chapter 171 Good Bargain
(From MC's Perspective)
"Do you really have a monster's corpse, young man?" Gilbert, the chef, inquired.
I nodded when I heard that. I'm sorry if my appearance made them suspicious, but it's unavoidable. They won't believe it until they see the monster corpse for themselves.
The manager, who was standing next to the chef, wasted no time. He led them both to a separate room where they could examine the monster's corpse.
I enter the room and pull three monster corpses from my storage bracelet in front of their eyes.
THUD
Three metallic boxes fell to the ground.
A brief glint appears in the chef's eyes. He moved forward, one by one, opening the metallic cases.
He then begin to inspect the body parts of a boar and a four-horned sheep as soon as he saw them.
Gilbert, the chef, pulls a premium knife from his pocket and begins slicing the monster's flesh.
He began by slicing the four-horned sheep's flesh. Because the steak of four-horned sheep is one of their restaurant's premium dishes.
As a result, it is worth exceeds that of the common boar monster.
The manager's mind, on the other hand, sprang into action. He used his brain to come up with a good deal after identifying the names of monsters. However, it can only be done after receiving approval from the chef.
So the manager waited for Chef Gilbert to complete his inspection.
The passage of time
After inspecting the tender meat of three monsters, a satisfied grin flashes across his face.
"Good," he said, expressing his appreciation.
After hearing that, the manager realized that monster meat was no less than premium quality. And the dishes made from it will undoubtedly meet today's demand.
Because their restaurant attracts a large number of customers at night. Previously, the manager was concerned about a lack of stock. That's why he put the notice on the internet.
He exhaled a sigh of relief now that the problem had been resolved. Then his gaze was drawn to the young man in front of him. "If I can make a private contract with him, I won't have to worry about running out of stock." He grumbled to himself.
In the manager's mind, a good plan was hatched. They usually pay commission to third parties to buy monster corpses. As a result, they end up paying more money after purchasing the corpse.
Because these monsters were in high demand in the food industry, many of the adventurer guilds here will ignore the mission notice if the reward is low.
As a result, no one is willing to hunt these weak first-order monsters. When he retracted his thoughts, he noticed that both of them were staring at him.
"Cough"
"Shall we talk about price?" According to the manager
I nodded when I heard that. Then, leaving the chef inside the room, we both walked outside.
"Your good name?" the manager inquired of the young man.
When I heard that, I nodded and said, "Hi, my name is Vincent Carey."
The manager's eyes widened in surprise. He is interested in learning about the young man's background. In response, he simply stated his name. His face lit up with a witty grin.
He then turned to face Vincent. "The meat on the Monster was all of the highest quality. I can give you 300 alliance points each for boar monsters. And 400 points for the four-horned sheep. So, 1000 alliance points in total "The manager made a remark.
"1000 alliance points!" I exclaimed, taken aback. Two days of wilderness excursions brought me a lot of money. It's no surprise that students are eager to return to wilderness trip.
However, there is nothing wrong with the amount. Because I saw the price in Fatty's restaurant before. Fatty also informed me of the mana meat dishes. So I can see that the manager struck a good bargain.
"All right," I said.
After learning the bank account, the manager nodded and immediately transferred the funds to Vincent.
BUZZ
To read it, I opened the notification. A small smile appeared on my face when I saw the number 2800 in my bank account.
The sum is not insignificant, but it is only a first-order monster. What about monsters of the second and third orders? I can easily double my money after selling the corpse of the second order monster.
"Cough"
After hearing the coughing sound, I retracted my thoughts.
"I actually want to make a deal with you, young man," the manager said.
"Deal?" In perplexity, I raised my brows.
Seeing Vincent's doubtful expression, the manager explained the contract he had conceived. He waited for that young man to respond after explaining everything.
On the other hand, I was taken aback for a brief moment. I'm still in high school. He may have misunderstood me. Only on weekends do I have free time. I'd already decided to spend my free time in the wilderness.
So I don't have time for a contract position. So, looking the manager in the eyes, I replied, "I have not considered taking contract type jobs for the time being."
When the manager heard that, he felt a twinge of disappointment, but it quickly faded. He stated, "That's unfortunate. But, in the future, could you give us some priority?"
I nodded, after which we exchanged contact information.
I then left the restaurant after collecting those metallic containers. My lips curved into an arc unexpectedly. As a gesture of goodwill, the manager had previously given me a packet of seasoned meat.
"I'll give it to mum later," I muttered.
I then quickly found an air car to travel in.
The air car took off from the platform towards the Red City.
After an hour,
The air car landed directly in front of my house. I got out of the air car and walked towards my house after paying the bill.
The door creaks open.
I went inside and found my mother in the kitchen. She is preparing the food.
When I noticed this, I placed the meat pack on the table.
Mother Lila, on the other hand, turned back after hearing the footsteps. When she saw her son's expression, she immediately reprimanded him, saying, "You're always late. Why didn't you pick up when I called?"
When I heard that, I coughed and explained, "I was busy practicing with my friend."
"Uh, practice?" Mother Lila muttered something. But she had complete faith in her son. She could tell her son had changed since gaining his magical powers. He was almost obsessed with wizard practice.
Then she said nothing and let her son go. She looked at the packet of seasoned meat after Vincent's back had vanished. She decided to use it the next day.
At the same time, I exclaimed, "Phew," "That was close." Then I went upstairs to my room. I didn't see Dad or Brother in the living room on the way. I returned my gaze to my room.
My first action was to enter the shower.
Several minutes later,
After taking a cold bath, I felt revitalized. Then I changed into something more comfortable.
SIGH
As I lay down on my bed, I felt a sense of relief.
"What an adventure I've had today!" I muttered something.
"It's completely mind-boggling," I told myself.
Then, all of a sudden, I had an idea. It concerns the adventurers' online store. In my heart, a spark of curiosity arose. I'm curious to see what they're selling there.
I used my communication watch to access the online store. A small holographic screen appeared above the watch screen, displaying the online store's web page.
Then my eyes started scanning the products one by one. My gaze was drawn to the price of crystal gems. Crystal gems of various monsters were for sale.
After giving it a quick glance, I moved on to other products. The store was stocked with artifacts, potions, liquids, potion ingredients, occult items, empty scrolls, magic spells, rune inscription items, and other magical items.
Even though my face appeared calm, my heart was racing. Because the items were extremely costly. The most basic low mana recovery potion costs 10,000 alliance points.
In comparison to the selling price, my 2800 earned appears pitiful. I need to earn more money in order to buy even the most basic items from the online store.
I seized items from Mason Terrell, now that I think about it. I realized it was all of his life's savings. Sudden realization struck me. Perhaps the hunter's profession isn't as exciting as I imagined.
Then I consider the relic materials. Then I started looking for suitable relics to purchase. I start scanning the items one at a time.
Surprisingly, the majority of them were ordinary relics. I couldn't even find a single unique relic or item. My heart felt a twinge of disappointment.
The adventurer union only sells common magical items found throughout the world. Some items were, as expected, restricted to the masses. Some items appear to be unattainable at my current level.
After that, I close the online store. I think about it. Right now, I believe it is best to save money. I don't have any other requirements besides training at Claudia Gym.
