3.3% Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World / Chapter 41: How do you want to cooperate? (Part 1)

Chapter 41: How do you want to cooperate? (Part 1)

Ever since he clashed with the World's No. 1 Artificer shop, Hector's days had been quite unfortunate. First, he had his face slapped by Carlos, and then he was severely embarrassed due to the incident involving Samuel.

The world's No. 1 Artificer shop didn't sink as he had hoped. Instead, it gained even more famous because of him. If not for the slow pace of Ashe's new Artifacts hitting the market, with each one sold, many customers would have already flocked to the store to place orders. Ashe's shop traffic was not limited to just a few hundred people a day anymore.

What he hated the most was that his "business" had become increasingly difficult, and very few customers trusted his words now. The tactics he used to lead and manipulate users away from other shops no longer worked. Many sellers were no longer afraid of him, and some even appreciated Ashe.

The "business" on the Red Espiritual Net was his primary source of income, and now that it was gone, it felt like a huge chunk of flesh had been cut from him. Not only did it hurt, but he also felt helpless.

Hector stared at the posts with red-lettered titles, all of which he had made. These were the most substantial evidence of him being slapped in the face.

Every new and old user who logged into the Red Espiritual Net could see them.

He posted negative comments about other shops. Who would believe him now? On the contrary, customers blamed him for deliberately misleading them. If it weren't for his interference and misleading tactics, they might have placed orders back then.

[ Oh, damn it! Why were those Artifacts priced so high, and without official certification? Who would want to be a sucker? Who wouldn't observe for a while first? Why didn't you say that back then? Now you've missed out, and you blame him! ]

Hector was so enraged that he felt like steam was coming out of his seven orifices. He had repeatedly asked the Red Espiritual Net staff to remove those posts, but he was refused on the grounds that there were no improper comments from the user.

One could say this was karma. In the past, many people had complained about Hector, but because he knew how to exploit the loopholes, he never violated the rules of the Red Espiritual Net, even when criticizing others. This allowed him to thrive. Now, the tables had turned, and the shops he had tricked by him were all applauding.

"Ding dong."

A notification sound suddenly appeared in the lower left corner.

Hector thought it was another person coming to taunt him. However, when he opened the private message, his eyes narrowed, and a flicker of joy appeared in his eyes.

Peerless_CucumberX, a person he had heard of, just like him, made a living through the Red Espiritual Net. The difference was that Peerless_CucumberX was involved in arbitrage between online and offline businesses, avoiding conflicts.

He wondered when Ashe had offended Peerless_CucumberX, to the point that even he wanted to cooperate with Hector.

Regardless of the feud between them, this was a great opportunity that had come knocking, and Hector immediately replied.

"How do you want to cooperate?"

...


Chapter 42: How do you want to cooperate? (Part 2)

"Pass by, don't miss out! Premium Amulets that you won't find anywhere else!"

"Your forehead is darkening, and you'll have a bloody disaster within three days. I have a safety Amulet here, not expensive, only 998. It'll protect you."

"Top quality crafting materials, sir, would you like to buy some? You can definitely craft superior Artifacts with them."

"Damn, I'm not an Artificer. What's the use of buying crafting materials?" A passerby, pulled in by a vendor, cursed.

The entire place was bustling with activity, with vendors everywhere. Amalia could sense that all of these people were cultivators with spiritual prowess, and it was indeed different from the desolation of the old street.

Amalia strolled along the roadside, where many people were selling Amulets and Artifacts. There were also several stalls for repairing Artifacts, mostly concentrated in one area.

Amalia's gaze passed over the three vendors who offered Artifact repair services one by one. There was an old one, a plump one, and a thin one, each with their own unique style and even different slogans.

The elderly vendor seemed more composed, with a simple slogan that read, "Full refund if the repair isn't satisfactory."

The plump vendor was the most extravagant, claiming he could repair any kind of Artifact and exaggerating his experience by saying he had once repaired an Artifact for a well-known figure in Big Apple City.

But, it had to be said, the plump vendor had a friendly and honest face, like a chubby Maitreya Buddha, and his smile made people feel at ease. This was why his business was the best, with passersby frequently inquiring about his services, even if the deals didn't always pan out.

In theory, the thin vendor would be squeezed out by the other two, but he persisted.

After watching for a while, Amalia understood the reason. The thin vendor had a silver tongue, capable of talking endlessly, and his charming words could easily confuse people. Each of these three individuals had their own distinctive traits.

"Hey there, young lady, do you have an Artifact in need of repair but don't know which of us to choose?" The plump vendor had noticed Amalia's presence a while ago, seeing that she had been observing the three of them.

Amalia's face was unfamiliar and youthful, clearly resembling a college student, which led the vendor to believe she might be a potential customer.

Amalia approached the plump vendor and asked, "Have you really repaired Artifacts for prominent figures?"

The old and thin vendors shook their heads upon hearing this question, thinking another passerby had been swayed by the kind, Maitreya-like face of the old vendor.

"Of course, I never deceive anyone. If you don't believe me, you can ask that prominent figure, and you'll see that my words are true," the plump vendor said confidently, stroking his chin.

Most people, when they heard him volunteer this information, would believe him to some extent. If it were a lie, he wouldn't have said it, as it might be exposed. This tactic was mostly used to deceive young people, college students, or those with little experience, as not everyone had the chance to meet prominent figures.

If the plump vendor had genuinely repaired Artifacts for prominent individuals, there would be no need for him to set up a stall here and solicit customers one by one. There would already be many people coming because of his reputation.
