Chapter 55: The Goods Have Arrived! (5/5)_1
Typically, a skill reached its peak at Level 10. Chen Mo didn’t have enough Skill Books for synthesis, let alone surplus ones for leveling up. She planned to maximize synthesis first and consider leveling up later. After all, top-tier skills were definitely more desirable than maxed-out low-tier ones.
Having confirmed that Chen Mo wanted that many Skill Books, Elder Rui said, "The White Skill Book ’Skeleton Summon’ isn’t very useful. The lowest price is one thousand per book. We can’t sell all of them, as we still need some for recipes. We can give you a thousand books. That will be one million. The Green Skill Books, ’Fanatic Worship’ and ’Dark Shield,’ are twenty thousand each. We also need to keep some in stock, so we can give you two hundred and fifty of each. That will be ten million. So, the total is eleven million."
After all, this was a reputable large merchant guild, and most things had fixed prices. Chen Mo recalled paying only a little over a hundred per book from the old man’s stall on the roadside. However, that stall was out of stock, so she had to buy from the large merchant guild. A small loss didn’t matter; improving her strength sooner was more beneficial. As for Green Skill Books, their prices were similar, whether at Myriad Heaven or roadside stalls. In fact, stalls sometimes asked for even higher prices. This was because Myriad Heaven didn’t typically display such low-tier items in their showcases. They usually used them as recipe ingredients to synthesize more valuable things. There was a saying: "For low-tier items, go to the black market or local markets. Only mid-tier items qualify for display in Myriad Heaven’s showcases."
It was only because Chen Mo had presented six good items that they had given her a second look and agreed to such a trade. Moreover, Chen Mo wasn’t just buying a few items; she was stocking up like a major trader, so they certainly didn’t look down on her.
She had over twenty million, and in the blink of an eye, eleven million were already spent. She continued to ask, "Do you have Dark Wands here?"
"Those are ’disassembly goods.’ We consolidate and disassemble them once a month," Elder Rui explained, "and you’ve come at a good time. It’s almost the end of the month, which is when we have the largest stockpile."
"What about the price?"
"One thousand each."
Hearing that the price was double what the stalls charged, Chen Mo felt the pinch. But they had plenty of stock. If she didn’t buy them, they would be disassembled, and she wouldn’t find so many elsewhere anytime soon.
