"How much?"
That was the first thing that I said as soon as I saw the Cloak of Invisibility.
I didnāt care what it cost since I had plenty of money, I just wanted this item.
The goblin couldnāt help being a bit taken aback by the tone of voice that I suddenly used. It even took a step back as if it was afraid that I would jump over the counter to grab it.
But I just calmly stood there and waited for the response from the goblin.
Seeing that I wasnāt going to do anything, the goblin slowly moved back and said, "I just want to say that itāll be a bit different from what youāre used to to trade in our store. In your human society, you trade with things like gold coins and such. But in our storeā¦"
Before it could finish saying what it wanted to say, I just said, "Just tell me how many magic cores you need already."
"Huh?" The goblin was taken aback again when he heard this.
I shook my head with a sigh when I saw him like this.
If I didnāt know a small detail like this, how could I possibly be filled with confidence that I would buy out everything that was here. It wasnāt just gold coins that I had in my Storage Ring, there were also things like magic cores.
I knew that magic cores were the currency that would be used in the later parts of the game for certain special stores, so I had long prepared a stash of them.
I gave a simple nod before waving my hand and making the magic cores that he wanted appear on the counter. I didnāt hesitate to reach out to grab the Cloak of Invisibility for myself and test it out after tossing out those magic cores.
The goblin was still stunned when it saw these magic cores appear.
When it came back to its senses, the goblin grabbed one of the magic cores and took out something that seemed to be a small loupe. It used that little thing to look closely at the magic core that it was holding in its hand as if it was testing it.
It didnāt take long for another surprised look to appear on the goblinās face.
I knew what it was thinking, but I didnāt blame it since this was just a normal thing that a merchant would do.
Even human merchants would check the coins that they received as payment, so it was only natural that this goblin would check these magic cores.
The ones that seemed to take offense at this were Klein and the others. They looked at the goblin like they were angry at it for thinking that I would cheat it.
When the goblin recovered from its shock to see this, it couldnāt help taking a step back again.
I just raised my hand to stop them after I finished playing around with the Cloak of Invisibility.
Looking back at the goblin, I said, "What else do you have for me?"
This time, the goblin wasnāt as hesitant as before. The goblin was a true merchant after all, so when it saw that there was a customer that was enthusiastic about his product and had the money to pay for itā¦
"This is a very special item that I think would be perfect for youā¦"
"Thereās no one else in this world that this item would suit more than youā¦"
"I know that this item has just been waiting to meet youā¦"
As it took the items out of the box, the goblin didnāt forget to introduce them like this and flatter me at the same time. It really was suited to being a merchant with the way that it was acting.
There were many different items that I recognized and there were many different items that I didnāt recognize, but it didnāt matter as I kept tossing out magic cores.
I had already secured a large supply from Haley and it didnāt seem like the items in this shop cost that much.
I was fully expecting the price to jump, but it didnāt seem like the price was jumping at all.
The price of these shops should be related to the rarity of the item, but also the state of the world. The higher the level of the world, the more expensive the items became.
Or that was how it was in the game world.
I couldnāt help wondering if this meant that this world was still in the early game as well.
But if that was the case, then what was the deal with the demon invasion and the mastermind behind it?
This definitely didnāt feel like the early gameā¦
After digging through that entire box, the goblin finally slowed down.
In fact, it even tossed the box to the side when it pulled out this final item to show that there was nothing else left for it to show me.
And as for this final itemā¦
I didnāt recognize it at all.
It was a simple piece of paper that didnāt seem to have anything written on it. It didnāt even have that strong of a mana fluctuation around it, but there were traces of mana around it which showed that this was a magic item.
It was just that it didnāt seem like anything special.
But even thenā¦
"This is our most special and most expensive item. I hope that you will consider buying this item that no one else has ever bought before."
"How much?" I asked in a simple voice.
"A hundred high grade magic cores."
I deeply knitted my brows the moment that I heard this.
At the same time, Klein and the others behind me put their hands on their weapons again as they shouted, "Daylight robbery!"
That was because in a sense, it really was that.
