Chapter 192 Small Wealth
(From MC's Perspective)
Adventurer Union,
I arrived at the Adventurer Union a few minutes after checking out of the hotel. When it comes to looted items I had already discarded the looted storage bracelets. Back at the hotel, I organized the magical materials that I intended to sell.
So there will be no confusion when I speak with office personnel. More than just confusion, I'm confident that no one will discover that all of the materials were stolen.
I had already considered lying in order to make a convincing argument. I walk into the building the next second. I'm going to approach the same staff member who previously registered my hunter license
I perked up my ears at the same time. On this floor, there were a couple of wizards. When I saw them, I immediately thought of an old abandoned site. How can I gather the necessary data? I tensely wrinkled my brows.
Then suddenly an idea clicked in my mind. If I'm not mistaken, there is a cafeteria here. I can go there and see if anyone has any ideas about the old abandoned site.
I also have to keep an eye on my back here. This structure is full of powerhouses. It will be dangerous if someone notices me. But first, I need to sell my belongings.
I picked up the pace after I gained some clarity. I walked through the crowd to get to the registration desk.
The women's eyes widened as they saw me approaching. That elicited a smile from me. She appears to have remembered me.
"Cough"
"Hi, "Can you assist me with the items once more?" While saying that, I pointed my fingers at a storage bracelet I was wearing.
"Don't tell me you had another successful hunt," the female staffer behind her says, smiling.
She recognised the young man in front of her. She previously assisted him in purchasing those crystal gems. It was half-order monster crystal gems and average first order monster crystal gems.
She was curious as to what the young had brought now.
Instead of answering her question, I take the items from the storage bracelet one by one.
The woman's expression was normal at first as she examined the basic potion herbs. The herbs are worth a few alliance points. It didn't pique her interest.
She then proceeded to assess the items. A reasonable price can be determined only after the quality has been verified.
As she moves her finger across the projection screen in front of her. A silver metallic tray appeared beside her the next second. She placed the magical herbs on the tray for inspection.
A blue screen appeared above the tray to scan the items that had been placed. The scanned result will appear on her projection screen at the same time.
Because she had already begun the evaluation process, I paused my movements and waited for it to be completed.
Several seconds later,
She stated, "150 alliance points."
The price didn't surprise me because those were just basic herbs. I'm already relieved to learn that it can be sold for a reasonable price.
"What are the other things you got?" She inquired.
When I heard that, I took a few boxes and placed them on the desk. The women's eyes were drawn to the boxes. "What is it?" she inquired.
"You can see it for yourself," I said.
She gave a slight nod before opening the box. Her eyes widened in surprise when she noticed silver mosses in it. "I must say, you had a fantastic haul. Today, silver moss was in high demand. You can get more than the base price "She stated.
"Wow, that was unexpected."
"I thought you guys had enough basic materials," I remarked.
Her words took me by surprise. Rare and precious materials were frequently in high demand. When it comes to basic magical materials, they can be found in any street shop. That is why hunters typically seek out rare herbs in the wilderness.
Before responding, the female staff let out a small sigh "It's normal for someone to buy everything from the store. It will also take some time to replenish the stock."
I had a flash of insight. How did I forget about this? The wizards who made potions used to purchase a large quantity of magical herbs. It's no surprise that silver moss is in high demand.
It's also a key ingredient in potion making. But I have no idea which potion it was used in.
The female staff completed her evaluation while I was lost in thought.
"300 alliance points," she said after collecting the silver mosses.
I nodded at her, then noticed her opening the rest of the boxes.
"Moon berry, where did you get this stuff?" The woman's eyes widened with surprise. Silver moss was already uncommon in the wilderness. Because it is a favorite food of the monsters.
It's also the case with moon berry, which is a favorite food of bird monsters. The blueberry trees were usually occupied by a swarm of bird monsters. This feat is impossible for a level -1 wizard to achieve.
She cast a strange look at the young man. She is aware that he is only a schoolboy. That's why she was completely taken aback. But then she had the thought, "Perhaps, he had helpers," she reasoned.
Some wizard families routinely send their descendants to train in the wilderness. Other than that, she couldn't think of anything else.
She replied, "550 alliance points," after reevaluating the moon berries.
"You have a total of 1000 alliance points."
When I heard that, a wide smile appeared on my face. I can pay for two meditation sessions at Claudia's gym with this amount.
"All right, do you want me to go ahead with the settlement?" The female staff member inquired.
"Wait"
"I still have crystal gems to sell," she says. After saying that, I pull out four wolf crystal gems.
"First order monsters," she muttered, before assessing the crystal gems as well. She was almost certain now that the young man had a supporter in the wilderness.
She looked at him while assessing and said, "Crystal gems of average quality cost 500 alliance. If you want to make more money, you must travel to the vast plains."
"All right," I said. It's still difficult to believe that crystal gems were sold at such a low price. If the wolf monsters had enough time, I believe. They would have advanced to the intermediate level. The price of their crystal gems would obviously rise as a result.
However, I am content with my current earnings. With the sale of crystal gems. I now have 3000 alliance points in total.
Then I could take out stolen items to sell. I was about to move when I heard her voice.
"You will quickly become the center of attention. So be cautious "A small reminder was given by the female staff.
Hearing that causes my heart to skip a beat. Then I fixed my gaze solemnly on her. Why did she suddenly remind me? Then I looked around and noticed that a few people were staring at me.
My face became tense. It's not a good idea to flaunt your wealth in front of others.
Then I asked the female staff, "Is there a private room available where we can do our transaction in private?"
"In normal cases," the female staff chuckled, "you need to reach level-2 wizard to get access."
"However, if you have valuable herbs in your possession, we are permitted to conduct transactions inside the private rooms," she added.
My expression tightened even more. Perhaps this method was used to distinguish between average and elite hunters.
At this point, 3000 alliance points mean a lot to me. However, when it comes to other high-ranking wizards. Their allowance may be several times greater than mine.
So I don't have to be concerned about my meager fortune. Perhaps people are looking at me because I'm new here. I told her to settle the amount after I gained some clarity.
I'm not going to show the stolen items to anyone. I'd already gotten enough attention. I'm not going to draw any more. But I'll sell those items later on the internet.
Beep!
My communication watch made a notification sound. I sighed with relief when I saw the transferred amount.
The transaction is now complete. It is now time to gather information about the abandoned site. I walked towards the cafeteria after saying my goodbyes to her.
However, three people followed me right after I left. As expected, some people still want to cause trouble after seeing my wealth.
I ignored it and continued walking towards the cafeteria. It's simply at the back of the building. When I went outside, I discovered another small building. The area was teeming with hunters.
My eyes scanned the room for an open seat. I soon noticed an empty table in the corner. Then I walked up to the seat and sat down. Fortunately, there is only one available seat. I'm curious to see what the three of them will do.
I passed several tables on the way. Even at night, this cafe seemed to be busy. Looking at the crowd, I was astounded.
