"Oh, if there truly is such a kind beast, he will gain the friendship of Mr. Husei, receive a 20% discount when purchasing my goods, and be given the opportunity to buy a fourth super item. Buying it would be an absolute steal, and he could do this every month I visit."
Husei's eyes lit up, then he sighed, "But it's so late now, there probably isn't such a kind beast."
"This Goblin Merchant comes to the Yaqila Mountain Range every month? Is this reward a continuous income?"
Qin Feng pondered, then took out the Wooden Vine Ring.
"I'm afraid Mr. Husei will be disappointed. I just happen to be that kind beast!"
"Oh! Oh! Oh! My goodness, it's really my lost ring!"
Husei took the Wooden Vine Ring and observed it carefully. The joy of recovering what he had lost immediately made his face beam with excitement.
"My dear Little Lizard, you truly are the smartest, most clever, and most helpful magical beast Mr. Husei has ever met. Your arrival has given me such a pleasant surprise! You have now gained Mr. Husei's most precious friendship!"
"Mr. Husei, you are an authority on changing faces. Can we start the transaction now?"
Seeing the Goblin Merchant's fawning expression, Qin Feng couldn't help but retort.
"Oh, of course, my dear Little Lizard. Allow me to re-swear, changing it to four transactions, a 20% discount, and a total value of double the profit!"
[The Goblin Merchant Husei (Elite) has sworn an oath to the god of goblins and cannot violate it. Do you wish to officially begin trading with him?]
"Begin!"
Qin Feng responded.
"For the first item, you only need to pay me…"
After a moment of thought, the Goblin Merchant carefully sized up the Little Lizard in front of him a few times before slowly speaking, "You need to pay me 24 copper coins, or items of equivalent value. Of course, this is already the price after the 20% discount."
After speaking, the Goblin Merchant stared nervously at Qin Feng, seemingly afraid that he would refuse.
"Alright, deal!"
[copper coin - 24]
Qin Feng smiled. With a thought, twenty-four copper coins immediately appeared in his backpack.
Taking 24 copper coins from his backpack, Husei's face immediately broke into a wide smile after receiving them, like an old chrysanthemum in full bloom.
"Oh, my dear Little Lizard, I didn't expect you to also have a spatial item. This is truly amazing, but it seems all the magical beasts here do."
"I was careless, but it seems I'm not the only one who was careless!"
However, Husei did not delve too deeply into this, merely marveling at it, as if having spatial items was not particularly rare in this world.
"Dear Little Lizard, this is truly a wise choice of yours!"
After counting the copper coins, Husei rummaged through the iron box behind him and finally took out a bottle of red potion, handing it to Qin Feng.
[Healing Potion (Normal) + 1]
[Healing Potion (Normal): After consumption, wound recovery speed +300% (fluctuates based on user's Combat Power), lasts for one hour. Price: 10]
"…"
Qin Feng hesitated for a long time, with something he wanted to say but ultimately kept to himself.
"Alright, Little Lizard, are you ready for our second round of trading?"
"Bring it on!"
"For the second item, you need to pay me 80 copper coins, or items of equivalent value. Of course, this is also the price after the 20% discount," Husei said with a smile.
[copper coin - 80]
As Qin Feng's thought flashed again, the current funds in his panel were deducted once more, transforming into physical copper coins.
After accepting the copper coins, Husei's old face smiled even more brightly, and he immediately fumbled around in the iron box behind him again.
Not long after, when Husei took out a dark red potion again, Qin Feng felt a bad premonition.
[Healing Potion 2.0 (Normal) + 1]
[Healing Potion 2.0 (Normal): Enhanced version of Healing Potion. After consumption, wound recovery +500% (fluctuates based on user's Combat Power), lasts for one hour. Price: 20]
"Dear Little Lizard, the prices of subsequent items increase exponentially. If you don't have substantial financial resources, you need to be careful."
Husei put away his smile and solemnly warned, appearing to be genuinely concerned for Qin Feng.
"He's so greedy. No wonder other magical beasts who trade with him want to chop him up. But he can't imagine how deep my reserves are. This time, I'll make him lose big!"
Qin Feng immediately feigned hesitation and slowly said, "Respected Mr. Husei, I truly don't have much money left. Could you, for the sake of our friendship, let me recover some of my losses on the next items?"
"Absolutely!"
Husei patted his chest and said seriously, "Since we have such a deep friendship, the next item will definitely be a high-quality treasure!"
"For the third item, after the 20% discount, you need to pay me 320 copper coins or items of equivalent value. If you can't afford it, I'll have to leave. I still need to get down the mountain before dark!"
"No wonder other survivors couldn't afford it. The price of the third item directly multiplied several times. How many people can afford this on only the second day! Moreover, for me, this is only the third item. If the fourth item's price increase is still so exaggerated, I won't be able to afford that either. Should I cut my losses now while they're still relatively small and get out?"
Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, and under Husei's urging, he still gritted his teeth and decided to continue the transaction.
If he stopped trading now, he would not only lose 74 copper coins but also a Wooden Vine Ring worth 300 copper coins.
He absolutely could not tolerate such a huge loss.
[Iron Arrow (Normal) - 6, Mountain Wolf Blood (Normal) - 500ml. Sale successful: 230 copper coins]
[Current Funds: 473 copper coins]
[copper coin - 320]
"Oh, my dear Little Lizard, your wealth is beyond my imagination!"
When a small hill of copper coins appeared before him, Husei's grin stretched to his ears.
After collecting the copper coins, Husei's palm floated up, and an eye patch appeared on his rough palm, clearly also using a spatial item.
[combat power eye patch (Elite) + 1]
[combat power eye patch (Elite): A standardized auxiliary equipment developed by the City of Magic. It takes effect when attached to the pupil. One: Determines comprehensive Combat Power value based on recorded regular biological Combat Power, estimated 10% fluctuation. Two: Increases or decreases comprehensive Combat Power value based on observed target performance. Detection limit: 1000. Price: 200]
"This item at least looks decent. Although I'm losing out in terms of value, it has wide applications. Normally, magical beasts in the mountains would have to pay a considerable price to get their hands on something like this. This Goblin Merchant is actually showing some conscience for once! It just doesn't make sense for the value to be so low. Could it be that the manufacturing cost is relatively low?"
Qin Feng was slightly pleased, then immediately attached the eye patch to his right pupil.
The next second, the eye patch automatically adhered, and a small transparent cursor appeared in the lower right corner.
When Qin Feng looked at Husei, the combat power eye patch immediately gave a prompt.
[combat power eye patch (Elite) magic power has been depleted. Requires magic stone refill or consumption of magic power for use. (1 magic power / 1 minute)]
In an instant, the transparent cursor that appeared in the lower right corner gradually extinguished as if its power had run out, and Qin Feng suddenly realized.
"Good heavens, no wonder the selling price was so low. It turns out it's a used item with depleted magic power!"
