章節 2: Sold On The Idea!
Bo remembered to add the women's MM Market pseudonyms to his Partner List. BlindingBeauty21, PerfectLooks4Me, 1DazzlingDaisy!
Bo thought their names were egotistical, but he couldn't deny that each of them looked really pretty. It didn't matter too much, since they were prospective customers. Bo considered how three beauties like them chased after one man and they still didn't catch him! They were either idiots or John had rocks for brains!
Bo tossed his bread onto the the MM Market as "freshly baked loaves from John's Bakery!" He cursed the Morian Knight Captain, but at the same time, thanked him.
Bo bought a loaf of MM Market noted bread for five Tibia coins. He exchanged the noted bread through the MM Market system and a decent loaf of bread appeared in his hands. Luckily, he didn't need to go to the front desk to do this conversion process!
Bo leaned against one of the pillars in the MM Market at a far corner away from the entrance. He ate calmly and drank from his canteen. It was nice to relax when all the dangers melted away.
If Bo continued selling Glass Flasks at sky-high prices, he didn't mind triggering people. Bo wanted impulsive people to be his niche in the MM Market.
Shortly, Bo finished up and bought more noted Glass Flasks. Five hundred and forty-five noted Glass Flasks! He could build a small mound out of that many!
Bo ran over to the entrance of the MM Market once more. He saw the two Immortals arguing earlier had left. What caught his attention now? The two idiots bragging about their money!
"I have so much money, I can buy your mama as my concubine! Jin, face it! I surpassed you in money-making!" said the Immortal wearing a robe lined with jade flowers.
He reeked of opulence and swished his sleeves in pompousness. His golden Mystic Crown hung loosely from his small head. On his back, a grassy cape hung, embroidered with the God of Wealth's Hand. It signified his deep pockets and how much he donated to get the rare item.
"Hu! My coin stack can flatten your father in an instant! Never forget that I have the World on my side!" said the other Immortal wearing a robe woven out of Gold-Vein Vines.
He shook his head and rubbed his forehead. The Blue Hat, a carved chunk of lapis lazuli serving as the God of Luck's sole artifact, rested on his bald head. There was only one in existence, and it gave him divine luck! From lucky encounters with beauties to discovering rare treasures, the Blue Hat increased these chances by thirty-fold! Paired with his Cape of Ori, and hidden accessories, this Immortal had multiplicative luck!
Bo smiled. It wouldn't be surprising if some normal people got dragged into the mess! He didn't mind being chosen too!
So, Bo walked closer to the entrance of the MM Market.
He announced, "Are you fellows comparing money? Are you fellows comparing skills? Are you fellows finally proving who is the better man?"
Jin and Hu looked at Bo like he was an idiot. What bum was this to be so audacious? Didn't he see this was a matter between Immortals?
But Bo had confidence! That fellow, Hu, gave off the feeling of an idiot who got scammed all the time!
Predictably, Hu huffed, "F*ck off, Mortal! I, your Big Stack Daddy, don't need your opinion! I took a whole month to recoup my losses from last time, Jin! Don't be a baby and bring out your coins to compare!"
However, Jin looked interested.
"Wait, Hu. This Little Bro seems interesting. Don't tell me you're scared to talk to a Mortal?" he teased.
Hu screamed, "I'm not! I'm not! But last time, you goaded me into losing half my fortune! I'm no fool!"
"A sore loser is still a loser. This Little Bro wants to tell us something special and you're being so unreasonable! Listening to him won't kill you!"
Hu groaned and held his head in his arms. He took a moment and quickly decided.
"Fine! If I get scammed, you're reimbursing me half my loses!"
"Deal!"
Hu swished his sleeves and inspected the threadbare Bo.
"Mortal. What do you want?"
Bo put on a business smile.
"I sell noted Glass Flasks! I have five hundred and forty-five on hand! I make big sales every day and all my customers are satisfied! It's a big point of pride for me!" Bo thumped his chest.
Hu's face fell, "Ah, shut up! Get on with it, you long-winded fool!"
Bo rubbed his hands together.
"I'm having a limited time offer for my noted Glass Flasks. I usually sell each for higher, but for you, I'll offer them at ten Nasal coins each!"
"...Motherf*cker, you say what now?!" Hu exploded.
"What are you, deaf now?" Jin chuckled.
"I heard him, but ten Nasal coins?! They're f*cking empty Glass Flasks! And they're noted Glass Flasks!"
"Exactly! I'm not scamming you. It's a completely honest product. Guaranteed standard Glass Flasks! Just claim them at the front desk!"
Jin laughed in his mind but outwardly nodded.
"This Little Bro isn't lying. Why don't you buy them? It's a limited time offer! Get them while they're cheap!"
Hu choked on his words and coughed.
"Buy these Glass Flasks at ten Nasal coins each?! That's fifty-four Lacrimal coins and fifty Nasal coins! I can buy almost five million of my own noted Glass Flasks if I go to the MM Market! It's literally a few meters away!"
Bo clicked his tongue, shook his head, and waved his finger.
"Too bad. You gave up on my offer. Now my noted Glass Flasks are eleven Nasal coins each."
Hu grabbed the sparse hair on his head.
"E-eleven Nasal coins each!?! What? Did you soak in a lake for too long and your brain eroded away?"
"What, is this price a problem for you? Aren't you a walking stack of coins? What's even ten Lacrimal coins for each Glass Flask to you?" Jin added on.
Hu roared, "Motherf*cker! Jin, why don't you buy it then?"
Jin dropped his head and shrugged.
"Sadly, I'm so poor that my mama can be bought as your concubine. Who am I to stop you from getting this deal?"
"You—!"
"Fifteen Nasal coins each!" Bo yelled.
Hu knew something was wrong again but he couldn't argue against Jin's logic. He used Hu's own words, so what could he say? In front of all the other Immortals, Hu didn't want to lose face or lose even more brand value! Hu's words must be absolute!
"Fine! I'll buy them... f-fifteen Nasal coins each."
Bo clapped his hands together.
"Fantastic! Come over here, good Sir! Take advantage of my cheap deal!"
Hu seethed in anger as the Immortals laughed behind him. He quickly finished the trade and stomped away, leaving Bo in shock at the money he received.
"I'll remember this, Jin!"
Hu teleported in a swirl of golden light. As for what happened to his five hundred and forty-five noted Glass Flasks...
The instant after Hu teleported, the notes sensed an infusion of strong energy. They flashed, contracted, and absorbed more energy into a vortex!
All the notes exploded in a synchronized fashion, damaging Hu! Luckily, Hu had a high level of Tao and protective equipment. However, Hu's grudge grew because of the life-saving artifacts wasted and the searing and unexpected pain!
Where Hu once stood, Jin flew past. He had a diabolical smile that spoke to Bo.
Bo thought it said, "All according to plan!" It shook Bo's confidence.
Jin's robes flowed gracefully in the air and his every step exuded greatness! In a second, he appeared next to Bo.
Jin put an arm around Bo's shoulder.
"Little Bro! That's a nice profit you made today. You don't mind giving this Older Bro here a gift for my troubles?"
Bo blinked his eyes.
"What do you mean?"
Jin laughed but his smile didn't reach his eyes.
"I'm not being difficult here. Hu's an unforgiving man, but I'm always more of a man than Hu ever will be."
Jin patted Bo's shoulder.
"I think we can do business together. As partners, we should get cuts of the profit for our efforts."
Bo's happiness died down and he stared Jin in the eye. He sighed and decided to not jump into more troublesome territory.
"Alright, Older Bro. How much?"
"Ninety," Jin said as he sent Bo a trade request.
Bo put up ninety Nasal coins.
"Ho, ho, ho? Aren't you misunderstanding my words too much, Little Bro? I can have such a... limited time on the patience I offer."
Bo gulped and sent over seventy-three Lacrimal coins, fifty-seven Nasal coins, and fifty Iliac coins. Jin swept up the money and teleported away in a turquoise whirlwind.
Bo moped over the loss of most of his new fortune. Still, he knew he was a genius for jumping in. Eight Lacrimal coins, seventeen Nasal coins, and fifty Iliac coins! This was a veritable small fortune!
Never in his entire life did Bo think he could see, let alone own so much money! He nibbled his lip, but he wasn't dreaming!
It was so profitable to abuse people's weaknesses! Bo thanked the Third Imperial Majesty and the MM Market. Anyone could get rich quick! F*ck, not even an hour passed since Bo arrived!
Bo quickly opened his Partner List. He inputted Hu's and the Jin's MM Market pseudonyms. Strangely, Hu's pseudonym really was BigStackDaddy. Jin used TheLuckInTheWorld.
After added the two, Bo stared at the MM Market's screen in front of himself. A little moneybag icon in the bottom right corner conveniently held all the coins. He didn't have to worry about protecting his money.
Instead, Bo thought it was high time to use some of the high-class functions of the MM Market!
Bo opened up the transparent screen and searched for an Immortality Rock. They looked like any old rock on the ground, but each rock held the blessings of Immortality!
Even if a Mortal never had a family history of being an Immortal or ever ascended into Immortality, these Immortality Rock were blessings from the World!
An Immortality Rock had a completely random bestowment of Immortality from a whole day to a whole month! Of course, the MM Market couldn't defy the World, so their standard noted Immortality Rocks had the same effect.
A noted Immortality Rock could be redeemed for a real Immortality Rock at the front desk. Bo searched up the price and wanted to bite off his tongue.
Five Lacrimal coins as the standard MM Market price! It was an obscene number! That was as good as five million Tibia coins! A million loaves of bread! More than Bo could ever eat in his life!
Bo gritted his teeth. The price was too steep. He left an offer of three Lacrimal coins to buy an Immortality Rock.
Bo noticed his dirty hands and weathered clothes. Undoubtedly, he stank of unwashed man sweat and dirty. His feet were splattered in crusted dirt, not to mention his wild and greasy hair!
Bo bought an Instant Cleaning Tablet for fifty Iliac coins and then used it. The Tablet crumbled into dust and the magic within doused Bo in cleanliness.
Now, his clothes and body were both clean. Then, Bo bought a hat, a black three-piece suit, white underwear, black socks, black shoes, and white gloves as a Yorefire Outfit Package. The fancy clothing had a self-cleaning, auto-fitting, and neatness function to let men look prim and proper.
Bo also bought a walking stick, ham and cheese sandwiches, canteens filled with water, and an umbrella. The total came to seventeen Nasal coins, but Bo felt it was worth it.
Bo ran behind the least populated pillar. Then, he shamelessly wore them and shoved his old clothes for sale. He looked more like a salesman than a dusty beggar or hermit.
Hopefully, his new appearance gathered more customers. As a salesman, he didn't give off the oppressiveness of an Immortal. His aim targeted his audience's emotions and tricked them into buying his items.
Bo shrugged his shoulders and stretched in his new Yorefire Outfit. He matched the Mortal's standard of fashion, which was more than enough for him.
Bo began browsing new items to buy. He was lucky so far, so Bo wanted to buy a bunch of items to peddle off. Maybe he could trick people into buying his items before reaching the actual MM Market?
