Chapter 616 - Change Of Plan
Chapter 616 - Change Of Plan
"Very well, show me what kind of thing you want to sell to us, little girl. But, before that, do you want to put it in the auction house or directly to the Esper Association?" Yeong-Jin stroked his beard again in a calm manner to hide his surprise. Luckily, he was not too bad at English.
"If that's possible, we'd like to sell them directly to the Esper Association. We wonder if you'll offer the best price on all of these or not. Then, please wait a moment. We need to pick up the items at Miss Eun-Hee's car first." Elysia nudged Eun-Hee's arm.
"Hmm?" Eun-Hee was surprised as she never remembered Elysia putting anything in her car. Even so, she would just go with the flow.
"All right, take your things and come right back here. I won't wait long for you on this." Yeong-Jin pointed his palm at the door.
Elysia then excused herself and went outside. Arriving at the parking lot, Eun-Hee was utterly shocked when Elysia took a medium-sized sack from her car's trunk. She never remembered anyone ever put something there.
"Whoa, what?" Eun-Hee pointed at the sack in amazement. She could feel a rich and refreshing aura coming from it for some reason.
"Why do you look so surprised, Miss Eun-Hee. We just borrowed the trunk of your car to put our luggage. That's okay, right?" Elysia gave the sack to Sylvia to carry.
"Uh..." Eun-Hee looked at the sack questioningly and just shrugged her shoulders in the end. They then returned to Elder Wu Yeong-Jin's room.
"Hmm, let's see. I can feel a rich spirit aura and a pleasant aroma." Yeong-Jin's eyes gleamed as he looked at the mysterious sack.
He immediately approached it with great curiosity to estimate the contents inside. Sure enough, inside the sack were quite a few gems and quite a lot of resources that were useful even to elite and mid-range experts!
"Elysia, yes? Ahem, where did you get all this?" Yeong-Jin cleared his throat and stared deeply into Elysia's purplish-blue eyes. He needed to know the origin of these precious things.
"We are the traveling merchant who occasionally sell interesting and valuable items to special auction houses or Esper Associations in the countries we visit. We got some fortune while we were sailing the seas from Japan here. It's just an underwater treasure. We wondered how much Esper Association would pay for it. Ah, although it's not much, but I know some experts will hunt me down just to buy it. Let's keep that matter away from me, and that's why I'm here." Elysia clasped her hands like a professional merchant.
"Such a young traveling merchant... Very well, we'll buy it at an attractive price. But, we need to inspect all the materials inside this sack. Is that okay for you?" Yeong-Jin took out his cell phone. After receiving a nod from Elysia, he called someone.
Three people in black and white robes entered the room two minutes later.
Elder Wu Yeong-Jin ordered his three disciples to unpack the contents of that medium-sized sack to inspect the value of all those precious items.
High-value and rare shiny items were scattered on the floor. Eun-Hee gulped her saliva with a hint of envy. She wanted to have one, but she knew that each of those shiny things was worth a fortune, even those colorful seeds. Her spirit power might skyrocket if she cultivated with just a tiny pouch of those colorful seeds!
Who would have thought that her clients were particular traveling merchants! At that moment, she had the idea of taking advantage of her situation with her client. Maybe, she could get quality spirit stones for free, or perhaps, she could buy some for a low price.
After about ten minutes of assessing everything, Yeong-Jin asked his disciples to put all those precious things in the sack again. He then re-examined a record of the details of all the items.
"Elysia, take a look at this. What do you think about this value?" Yeong-Jin handed the note to Elysia.
"Allow me to check it out." Elysia handed her cat to Sylvia before receiving the note. She checked it out in detail and looked at the prices on offer.
To be honest, she didn't know the value of any of those things. However, it was not her if she didn't ask for the best price.
"I converted it to usd, so it's easy for you to calculate the amount. You may get more value at the auction house, but terms and conditions apply, depending on your luck." Yeong-Jin stroked his beard. At that moment, he accidentally saw his three disciples go pensive to stare at these girls.
*Pa!* *Pa!* *Pa!*
Yeong-Jin threw a paper at those young boys, and it became like a light slap to the head. "Why are you all still around? Hurry back to your duties."
"Y-yes, master!" The three disciples saluted and immediately left the room. But not before they glanced at the foreign beauties one more time.
"???" Eun-Hee glanced at the note in Elysia's hand. However, her little heart was immediately surprised to see the total value offered by the Esper Association.
That was nearly a million dollars... A fortune that was quickly earned just by sailing the oceans? Treasure hunting was very promising, apparently.
"Mm, this is a long number, but it feels a bit odd to me. I'd prefer to round this up to a million dollars. As a token of our good relationship to the association, I'll give this to you." Elysia took out a small wooden box and gave it to the elder.
She could detect that this elder was in dire need of a recovery medicine for both external and internal injuries. She would just take advantage of that.
"That's quite a price increase. Over sixty thousand dollars is no small value, little girl. But what are you trying to offer with this little box?" Yeong-Jin frowned. He had marked up the price a little, but this girl asked for more.
"I got this from an medical expert last month. I know you need this for your illness. You can sprinkle it on your external wounds to see the results and drink it as a medicine for your internal wounds. That's a fairly cheap price for your body recovery, right?" Elysia smiled confidently. She changed her plans in this world by not playing so stealthily anymore.
"!?" Yeong-Jin was alarmed. He never expected this little girl to know that far. "How did you know about that?"
"I know because I can see in your aura that you look like someone who is suffering from an illness that doctors or healers can't cure." Elysia shrugged her shoulders.
"Great medical expert? Who are you referring to? Say the name of that person." Yeong-Jin's hands seemed to move on their own to pick up the wooden box, but he restrained himself from doing so. He was a little skeptical about this girl's claim, but maybe the day of his recovery had arrived today.
"My apologies, I don't know his name either, but he's an old man in a neat white robe. I just call him sir. I'm a traveling merchant who might exchange valuables with our fellowship when we meet." Elysia shook her head with an apologetic expression.
'It's just the cheap recovery powder from the Holy Cathedral's Medical Center. That little thing we get for free can be worth more than sixty thousand dollars? This is a scam, right? Oh dear Ely, you really are a gifted merchant, fufu.' Elena couldn't contain her laughter anymore.
'Shh, we are just traveling merchants right now. Medicine like that doesn't exist on Earth, and it's not a scam either. Let's call it a smart move.' Elysia answered playfully.
Rhea could only scratch her head with an amused smile seeing Elena laughing happily. Elysia was good at business and bargaining, oh the negotiator.
"So, is it like that? OK, that makes sense. Sixty thousand dollars is a small price if it can heal me. We'll round that up to a million dollars if this medicine is effective." Yeong-Jin had already taken the small box from Elysia's hand even though he looked like a skeptical old man.
"Of course, feel free to give it a try." Elysia raised her hand a little with a welcome hand gesture.
Yeong-Jin didn't wait any longer. He immediately took off his robe on the spot, but he was still wearing his pants. He exposed his blackish chest shamelessly and sprinkled the white powder evenly.
That rank 7 expert instantly widened his eyes to see his permanent wound gradually healed. It was hard to believe, but it really happened before his eyes.
Therefore, he immediately took his drinking jug and sprinkled a bit of the powder there. He took a sip to check the internal effects within him.
As expected, his internal wounds were also gradually healing, though only a little. It was only a tiny amount of this white powder, but its properties and effects were truly extraordinary.
"Hahaha! It's a deal then. I'm completely convinced. Please take this card and you can contact me anytime, Elysia girl. You can also sell anything to the Esper Association's Busan branch, South Korea, at any time. I'll offer you a handsome price. Give me your international account number. I'll transfer everything now." Yeong-Jin laughed heartily. He put his robe back on and handed a contact card to Elysia.
"Uhm, I'm glad to hear that. Here it is." Elysia tapped her smartphone and showed a series of numbers to the elder. After a notification came in, she smiled happily. "Thank you for your purchase."
"..." Eun-Hee's mouth fell wide open.. She felt devastated and defeated because this young girl could earn much better money than her.
