Reincarnation Paradise: Passion Leads to Greatest Success

Chapter 169 Twilight Merchant Guild

Finally, Fang Yu took out two more blue-quality equipment pieces and successfully obtained the Book of Talent and the Chapter of Spirit from the God Emperor.

After the transaction was completed, the Necromancer's Set was revealed to everyone in its entirety, consisting of five pieces: a staff, a robe, boots, trousers, and a helmet.

The God Emperor and the others carefully examined the attributes of the Necromancer Set. Their expressions were initially filled with surprise, but then they fell into deep thought.

To their surprise, this necromancer set seemed to be made specifically for necromancer contractors, with each piece possessing slightly superior attributes, and its value had reached the pinnacle of dark purple equipment.

What's even more remarkable is that it's a complete set, the overall value of which is far beyond what five individual dark purple equipment pieces can be simply added together.

This is precisely why the three of them frowned inwardly—taking on this set of equipment is by no means an easy task, even for an adventure team of their size; it's quite "gritty".

"The transaction method remains unchanged."

Fang Yu smiled and spoke, his expression calm and composed, a stark contrast to his previous newcomer demeanor.

As Qingmo watched this scene, a complex feeling swept through his heart. He was always shrewd and rarely suffered a loss, but this time he had inexplicably lost over 100,000 Paradise Coins, an amount that was by no means a small sum to him.

"Let's be friends."

The Emperor's expression changed several times before he finally sighed and put the rest of his personal belongings back into his storage space.

"I'll go back and gather the resources. If you have any special needs for equipment or items, you can let me know now; I'll do my best to help."

He knew very well that the only items he had that would catch the other party's eye were probably the two he had just traded. Since that was the case, there was no need to force it; this necromancer set—if possible, he was determined to get it.

Stan and Blue Demon were in similar situations. They no longer had anything that Black Knife would be interested in. Or rather, they did have some, but those items were integral to their strength and inseparable from each other. So, at this point, they could only wait for the other party to make a offer and then return to their respective adventurer groups to raise funds.

The key point is that this complete Necromancer set is far more valuable than the two items Black Knife had previously taken out.

Even at its dark purple quality, it already possesses such an amazing bonus effect; if it could be upgraded to light gold or even gold quality, its strength would be immeasurable.

This is something that the "True Ancestor Bloodline" or "Asura" professional scrolls simply cannot match.

Whether used to cultivate core members or reserved as bargaining chips in exchanges with other forces, it is the preferred option.

Fang Yu's lips curled slightly upward as he added the three as friends, then made an outrageous demand: "Grandmaster Power, Book of Talent, and Soul Crystal (Large) are also good, and there's also—"

"I'm gone."

When the God Emperor heard "Soul Crystal (Large)," his eyes twitched slightly. He left after saying a few words.

He wasn't scared off; rather, he needed to hurry back to gather resources. Besides, he was only making a token inquiry. If he had the items the other party needed, he could raise the price; otherwise, he'd have to win by sheer quantity. And by quantity, he meant Paradise City...

Various rare items.

After Stan and Qingmo added each other as friends, they got up and left the restaurant, each trying to gather as many resources as possible to get the set.

After the three adventurer groups left, Fang Yu put the Necromancer Set back into his storage space. He glanced at the female black market merchant first, then turned to the middle-aged man who had been sitting quietly to the side: "Since you two aren't involved in the transaction, what brings you here?"

"Hello, Black Knife, I've heard so much about you."

The monk politely extended his hand. "Now I see he lives up to his reputation. You can call me monk."

Fang Yu raised his hand and shook it, waiting for the next words.

"Here's the thing, our Twilight Merchant Guild is currently recruiting blacksmiths. My sister said you are a very skilled blacksmith, so she wanted to ask if you have any thoughts about becoming a blacksmith for the Twilight Merchant Guild."

The monk spoke earnestly, his expression respectful, and explained his purpose as concisely as possible.

He had witnessed the entire process of Black Knife dealing with the three adventurer groups, and it proved that tricks were useless.

Moreover, the cultivator knew that his negotiation skills were insufficient to gain any advantage over the shrewd individuals in these adventure groups; he would be lucky to avoid being taken advantage of.

But Black Knife managed to do it, and even ate his fill.

You should know that in the Paradise of Reincarnation, being weak isn't a big deal; you can take your time and there are plenty of ways to improve your strength. But being brainless is a real problem; you'll have a hard time surviving if you don't have brains.

Black Knife has just demonstrated what the advantage of information asymmetry is, and he waged a brilliant price war. This truly impressed him. It can only be said that Black Knife's reputation is indeed remarkable.

"Your sister?"

Fang Yu keenly caught the word and subconsciously looked at the female shady merchant.

A hint of unease and evasion flashed in the eyes of the female merchant hidden behind her mask. Seeing this, the cultivator nodded and said frankly, "She is my younger sister."

Fang Yu immediately understood. This explained why the female black marketeer and the cultivator had maintained a spectator attitude throughout the entire process; they had come for another purpose.

"Didn't your sister tell you that I'm not interested in joining any faction?"

"I did say that."

A wry smile flickered across the monk's face as he explained, "But what we mean by 'recruitment' is essentially just a cooperative relationship. That's why my sister was willing to bring me to you. I've also approached those master blacksmiths, but most of them have rather peculiar personalities, so I had my sister introduce me."

Before Black Knife's attitude towards cooperation was clear, the cultivator took all the pressure upon himself, also to avoid disrupting the existing transaction channels between his sister and Black Knife.

"oh."

Fang Yu squinted, adopting a listening attitude, and raised his chin, "Tell me about it."

A glint of light flashed in the cultivator's eyes. Willingness to listen meant there was a chance. The rest depended on whether he could offer enough sincerity and conditions to sway Black Blade.

"You should know the main business style of our Twilight Merchant Guild, right?"

Fang Yu: "You're building ultimate gear, right?"

The monk nodded: "Exactly. If the Chamber of Commerce wants to further expand its business, it must deepen its cooperation with more skilled blacksmiths. The core attributes and special effects of equipment require the meticulous forging of master blacksmiths; while we are responsible for providing raw materials such as gems, ores, and metals, and undertaking the subsequent enhancement work."

Fang interrupted, saying, "I don't care about the specific procedures, let's get straight to the point."

The monk smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Usually, when we collaborate with external blacksmiths, the payment is settled based on factors such as the quality and rating of the finished equipment."

Fang Yu: "You even train your own blacksmiths?"

"Yes. But the training period is long and the cost is high. The expansion of the chamber of commerce cannot wait, so I was sent out to look for partners everywhere."
