To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 23: Hunter and Traders

[Money in Pocket = 862 Cash]

"I'm sorry about earlier."

Ars returned to the lobby and met Lee Wai.

Lee Wai was sitting with a boy, next to the stall of a Merchant.

Lee Wai immediately stood up, then stuttered a little, he greeted Ars back. "O-oh, it's okay, sir ...?"

"Ars."

"Mr Ars. Don't worry about past problems. I'm also sorry for interrupting your way earlier. "

Maybe because Lee Wai already felt the horror of Ars' gaze, so he couldn't get rid of his awkwardness in speaking.

"Then, what next?" asked Ars.

"O-oh, that's right. Let's go to the negotiation room. There we will talk about the sequel. Lin, bring this mister's item. "

Lin - Lee Wai's private Porter- drew closer to Ars and stretched out his two hands. "Sir.."

There was a weak tone in Lin's words. This reminded Ars of when he first worked as a Porter.

Ars dropped the bag containing the stack of Bear Beast Nails on top of Lin's two hands.

"Wa!?"

However, Lin could not hold the bag and almost fell.

"Lin?!"

"Sorry, Prez! This bag is heavy, and I was a little shocked just now."

Ars just remembered. "That bag weighs about 20kg." And Ars carried the bag in one hand without a problem.

Yes, that bag contained twice as many Bear Beast Nails as Ars sold to the Guild. The total price is [563 Cash] from the [Value Scanner].

Lee Wai shocked, it seemed that he realized what Ars was doing.

"Very well, then, this way."

Lee Wai led their way into the negotiation room.

They were in the corridor which had five rooms on each side of the right and left. Lee Wai led them to the very end of the door.

The Negotiation Room is small, like a bedroom. With a glass wall at the back as a source of incoming light. It had two chairs and a wooden table, and a weighing device like the Guild Weights had.

Lee Wai sat in the back seat and Ars in the front.

"Please, sit."

Ars sat on the chair. Seeing Lin weigh a bag of Bear Beast Nail, and the total weight of the bag is about 19kg more.

"OK. Since this is the first time we've met, let's start with introductions first."

Lee Wai did something with his Hunter Bracelet - Bracelet that is a different color from Hunter Bracelet -.

Tit~

Ars' Hunter Bracelet ringing. A sign that there is a new data received. Ars opened the data and saw Lee Wai's Profile.

[ID Card: [ABYSSAL CITIZENS]]

[NAME: Lee Wai]

[ID : 120,601]

[SEX : Male]

[RANK : - ]

[JOB : Specialist] [ROLE : Traders]

[Family: Central Asia Trading Company] [Role: Founder]

[Exp : 1 Year 4 Month]

He registered as the 120,601 Abyssal registrant, and Lee Wai has been in Abyssal for 1 year and 4 months.

"Mr. Ars ...?"

Ars awakened from his reverie.

Seems that Lee Wai is hinting at asking for Ars's ID Card indirectly.

Ars immediately opened his Hunter Profile. Then a question stuck in his head, 'How the freak do I send an ID Card?'

On the surface, all Hunters are still as simple as seeing other Hunter's Hunter Profiles in person. But how do these people at West Station send ID cards?

"Are you..."

Lee Wai suspected that Ars might not know how to send ID cards. In fact, he really doesn't know.

Not wanting to look stupid, Ars pressed a random command, and pressed [Yes] on several questions.

Titut ~

Lee Wai's Bracelet ringing. Ars' ID Card has just been sent.

[ID Card: [ABYSSAL HUNTER]]

[NAME: Ars]

[ID : 160,574]

[SEX : Male]

[RANK : Silver]

[JOB : Vanguard] [ROLE : Front DPS]

[Family: - ] [Role: - ]

[Exp : 3 Month]

Lee Wai was a little surprised when he read Ars's ID Card.

Ars just updated his ID Card after selling a bag of Bear Beast Nails. Most likely that's surprised Lee Wai because a strong person like Ars is only a Silver Vanguard, plus his experience in Abyssal is still 3 months.

Lee Wai cleared his throat softly, took an abacus from his bag, then asked: "So, Ars, is that all you want to sell?" Lee Wai also hinted Lin to bring Ars' bag to him.

"Yeah," answered Ars briefly.

Lee Wai pulled out magnifying glasses and took a careful look at several Ars' Bear Beast Nails.

Ars just remembered Lee Wai's Job is a Specialist. 'So they still tie those who registered as Citizens to the job of Hunter.' Or so Ars thought, he also didn't understand.

"By the way." Ars has a question about the activities Lee Wai doing. "Why did you look at the item drop that carefully?"

A month ago, Ars was also curious about Wayer doing the same thing Lee Wai did.

Lee Wai put down his magnifying glasses, then held his abacus and started counting.

"Of course, the quality of the drop items. The quality of the item drop also depends on how the Hunter fights the Abyssal Hunter."

Lee Wai started doing explanations for no reason. Even though Ars still doesn't know about it, though. So it can be a lesson for him.

"For example, in Bear Beasts, the item dropping from them is their strong black nails. To get high quality, Bear Beast Nails, Hunter should as much as possible avoid clashing with Bear Beast. That way, it's highly likely that a high-quality Bear Beast Nail will drop."

"Why are you telling me all that, old man?"

That is a very useful lesson for Ars. But at the same time, it also made Ars suspicious that Lee Wai had a motive other than his attitude.

Lee Wai is a different person. Where before he felt a little afraid of Ars, now he even shows an aura of interest.

"These drop items you provide are of high quality."

Ars just remembered, a week ago, when he was still ferociously hunting Bear Beasts, he hardly had a weapon clashing with the Bear Beasts. He killed most of the Abyssal Monsters with one slash or stab.

"I don't want to sound curious, but, Ars, are you hunting all these drop items by yourself?"

Ars had expected Lee Wai to ask that question.

No wonder since sitting alone this morning, Ars felt someone was watching him. It turned out that that person was Lee Wai.

Ars gave an excuse, "Of course not. Who is a fool who would dare to hunt in a forest this freaking big alone? "

Lee Wai seemed to want to ask something else, but decided to withdraw his intention. That was because Ars was showing ferocious gaze.

"Al-alright, sorry that I interrogated you instead. Is this all you want to sell?"

"Are you a Weigher NPC?"

"How about in the future? Are you willing to sell things to me again?"

"It depends."

It depends on how satisfied Lee Wai's service is.

"Alright then." Lee Wai just finished counting, then opened his Citizens Bracelet. "713 Cash for one bag contains high quality Bear Beast Nails. Do you agree with that price?"

Ars didn't show it, but his brows wrinkled a little. He surprised at the price that Lee Wai presented.

[Value Scanner] puts a price on [563 Cash] on the bag. But Traders who researched the quality of each Bear Beast Nail gave a price of about 30% more than the [Value Scanner] results.

Ars, of course, will not waste that opportunity. "I agree."

With that, Lee Wai stood up. Ars stood up too. Then Lee Wai stretched out his right hand. The two of them shook hands, at that very moment -

Tit ~

Hunter Bracelet Ars ringing.

"Your money is sent immediately when both parties, between the Hunter and Traders, reach an agreement and do a handshake."

"I know that already."

"O - oh, I apologize then."

Lee Wai wants to give Ars another lesson, but ended up looking down on Ars.

Afternoon / 4:12 AM

[Money in Pocket = 1,525 Cash]

Ars spent a lot of time in the Guild. Learned lots of new things, saw new sights, and most importantly, earned more money - even if only 30% - than expected.

At that time Ars went to a quality inn to celebrate his little victory. It has been more than a month since he felt the softness of the bed.

"I don't feel like getting up again."

The fatigue he endured for an entire month finally paid off with tasty satisfaction.

"But, what's with this [Value Scanner]?!"

That day, Ars got proof that the [Value Scanner] was no more useful than an old man Traders.

Because [Value Scanner] refers to the standard price given by [Guild]. That means Ars won't be able to use it if he wants to sell to the market.

[Unlimited Inventory Level 02: 0/1000 Cash]

Saturated with [Eyes of the Dragon], Ars opened the [VIP Player] menu to do an objective.

[Transfer]

[0/1000 Cash]

Is to level up Unlimited Inventory.

[Unlimited Inventory: Level Up]

[+900 New Room]

[Unlimited Inventory Level 03: 0/10000 Cash]

"I freaking know it."

[Money in Pocket = 525 Cash]

The total money that Ars has to spend increases by one nominal (0) every time [Unlimited Inventory] levels up. The addition of the cheat feature doesn't sound very interesting either.

"What do you think I am? A dumb container truck?"

Though because of [Unlimited Inventory], Ars able to win the battle with Killer Bee. He even learned new [Offense Skill] due to the use of [Unlimited Inventory].

Ars moved on to the second cheat he had.

[Eyes of the Dragon Level 02: 10/20 Trophy]

As with [Unlimited Inventory], the power of [Eyes of the Dragon] didn't stop there.

"Okay, if that's what you want. I will hunt every monster in my sight and get all the Trophies I can get. "

Ars regains his motivation to hunt. Until he unconsciously activated [Menacing Gaze] and scared the Hunters around.
