Chapter 264: Keep the Rare Item for Better Offer

POSTED ON JUNE 1, 2022 BY KEN

After Fang Linyan pondered for a while, he decided to go to the training ground. There was no need to rush for a deal now. Looking at the free remaining time, 8 hours and 12 minutes, he smiled with gratification.

At this time, Fang Linyan finally had the illusion of making a fortune and reaching the peak of his life. He immediately devoted himself to training with positive enthusiasm.

***

About 4 hours later, Fang Linyan walked out of the training ground, panting and exhausted.

He only spent 1 hour and 12 minutes in the training ground, then he rounded up the remaining time to 4 hours for resting.

The reason was that it took too much stamina to train Basic Melee. Think about the fight in the boxing ring, professional fighters have to rest for at most 3 minutes in each round. The consumption of stamina can be imagined.

Even if Fang Linyan had a digitalized body, the opponents simulated in the training ground were all similar in strength. In order to be closer to the actual combat, Fang Linyan chose to feel 100% pain and suffer minor injuries, so it was more realistic to fight. The experience obtained was more too.

That’s why he only consumed 72 minutes of training time, but it took him 4 hours. During which he needed to recover stamina, heal injuries, and learn from the lessons.

What excited Fang Linyan was that in the last half hour of the training, that feeling of about to break through reappeared. He now attached great importance to the training of basic abilities, because the summoned mechanical soldiers could also inherit his attributes, which was equivalent to double the strength improvement.

It was with this excitement that Fang Linyan persisted for an extra half hour, but he collapsed on the spot after training. Fortunately, the training ground in the space was extremely advanced and could recover fatigue at the fastest speed. Otherwise, he probably didn’t even have the strength to walk now.

There was a saying that joy put heart into a man. After Fang Linyan returned to his booth, he suddenly saw a new offer that made him interested!

It turned out that the guy who called himself Bill actually quoted a price that made his heart move.

15,000 common points + 6 potential points!

It was written very clearly that it could be negotiated, and he was also very interested in TK Stick Grenade.

The words he left behind were also quite sincere. In the end, he revealed that he also set up a stall in the trading venue. The stall number was No. 405, area H. If Fang Linyan saw the message, he could come to the stall to talk. He would be there for 8 hours.

To be honest, this asking price was very close to Fang Linyan’s psychological price, so after reading the message in a hurry, Fang Linyan walked over to Mr. Bill’s booth.

Soon, Fang Linyan came to booth No. 405 in area H. This was a typical fixed booth. Fang Linyan’s previous temporary booth could only be described as shabby in comparison.

Fortunately, what Fang Linyan sold was not simple.

According to Fang Linyan’s guess, this Mr. Bill should be a professional businessman trained by a professional team with strong tacit understanding and solidarity like the Seal.

In reality, Mr. Bill should have a similar talent in business, then the unnecessary things in the team would be handed over to him to maximize the benefits.

In fact, that was true. Bill admitted this matter calmly. He told Fang Linyan with initiative before he asked. It meant that he was very powerful. If Fang Linyan had any needs, he had a big relationship network to fulfill his need.

Not only that, Bill’s sales skills were also very good. There were protection settings in the Space, so they couldn’t see each other faces. However, after 2 minutes of chatting, Fang Linyan actually gave birth to a feeling that Bill was opening his heart to him, making him subconsciously feel that this person was very sincere.

This was of course an illusion.

It was impossible for Bill to make such an impression on a stranger in 2 minutes without more than 10 years of experience in the business world and enough talent.

What was more, Bill didn’t actually have the habit of visiting the booths. He eyed on Fang Linyan’s scroll because he had been looking for ice-type equipment and skills for a full week, but he had not been able to find a suitable one.

Even Bill made an offer in his own network: Someone who can provide relevant practical information will be rewarded with a price of 1000 common points.

The reason why Bill liked ice-type equipment and skills so much was that his team leader had changed class, a rare class. The core skill had a great bonus to ice-type skills.

When Fang Linyan’s scroll was in this guy’s hands, its power would be increased to an astonishing level!

Intuitively speaking, it could at least increase the power of the scroll by 1 level. Although it was a Black quality item, in the hands of the boss, he could exert the power of a Silver Story item!

At this time, Bill had already judged that Fang Linyan had the intention to sell it, but he just seemed a little unwilling. However, this was a minor problem for him.

The thing that Bill was most worried about was that Fang Linyan wouldn’t come, which showed that he was not interested in the price he offered. As long as he came, Bill would have a way to make him willingly leave the scroll.

In reality, as the sales director of a top 500 company, he had a hundred ways to make customers make up their minds.

So Bill smiled and said,

“Actually, before I met you today, I had already closed 2 deals. It’s not like I made a lot of money, but I was quite satisfied. Take a look at this weapon…”

Bill cleverly used the tone of chatting with an old friend, and he attracted Fang Linyan’s attention to the counter, where there were more than a dozen equipment.

Bill already felt that Fang Linyan was a baby at this time, so he was confident that when Fang Linyan observed these equipment, he could see what he was interested in, even if the Space had covered his expression.

Because people would have body language, and there were a series of related instructions on the equipment. For an expert like Bill, he could catch the moment Fang Linyan revealed any clues, then he could target his weaknesses.

However, when Bill realized that Fang Linyan had put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly to his counter, he suddenly felt a thud in his heart. He realized that he seemed to underestimate him.

Then Fang Linyan actually said to Bill,

“Oh, sorry, I want to go to the toilet.”

After speaking, he left.

5 minutes later, Fang Linyan sent Bill a message,

“You don’t have anything I want, I’ll go back first.”

Bill expressed his shock at this. He didn’t even know what made his customer leave immediately. Bill felt really depressed. He couldn’t help but look up and scream loudly.

Despite this, Bill knew that he couldn’t be too eager, otherwise he would be passive. He could only politely reply, “Okay, thank you.”

However, Bill didn’t know that the more sophisticated and experienced he behaved, the more vigilant Fang Linyan became, and the more difficult the deal would be.

It was like a successful man falling in love with 2 girls at the same time and preparing to choose a marriage partner. The 2 girls had similar appearances and similar family backgrounds.

Girl A was very gentle and considerate. She was very skillful on and off the bed, serving him comfortably without any problems.

Girl B was occasionally a little temperamental. She took care of his life well, but she was still shy on bed skills. Sometimes she would make the man laugh helplessly.

In the end, needless to say, 80 to 90% of men choose Girl B.

Why would Girl A who was obviously doing better be eliminated?

Ahem, the reason was very obvious after giving it some thought.

For Fang Linyan, he would rather meet a rookie like Girl B than an expert like Girl A. That was Bill’s problem.

Of course, there was a very important problem here.

Fang Linyan’s scroll was very important to Bill, and there was no alternative on the market.

However, what Bill had, Fang Linyan did not particularly desire, which created an asymmetry between supply and demand.

After waiting for 10 minutes, Fang Linyan hadn’t sent a message. After confirming that the other party was not trying to play hard, he could only sigh and said in the team channel,

“Boss, I know you don’t like being interrupted when you’re training, but unfortunately, there’s this thing on the market today, I invited the seller to come over, then… I screwed it up.”

After he finished speaking, he posted the scroll attribute into the team channel.

After 5 seconds later, the boss immediately sent a message,

“Bill, the reason you screwed up is very simple. You are too professional, ​​and our side didn’t have anything to attract him, so he was directly scared away.”

Bill was stunned for a while, then he shook his head and smiled bitterly. He felt that the onlookers see most clearly, so he could only say,

“So what should we do now?”

The boss quickly replied,

“This scroll is very important to me, so… well, you have screwed it up once. You let Mona tell the guy we need his scroll, so we are willing to pay a premium price.”

Bill was stunned and smiled bitterly,

“Are we really going to show our cards? This is a big no-no in negotiations.”

The boss said simply,

“Can you make sure you can get this scroll from him?”

Bill was silent. He shook his head and said,

“Cannot.”

The boss continued,

“Before the next world opens, are you sure you can help me acquire similar ice-type equipment or skill?”
