From Beggar to Emperor: My Profession Has Its Own Characteristics

Chapter 65 Characteristics of the Peddler Profession (Part 1)

Situ Susu heard the sound and looked in the direction of it.

"what?"

She uttered a soft question, her gaze shifting between Zhu Yuan and the goods he carried, a hint of curiosity on her face. "Zhu Yuan, how did you become a peddler?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuan straightened up and naturally met Situ Susu's gaze, replying, "I must thank you for your assistance, Second Miss, which allowed me to quickly obtain the start-up capital to start a small business, enabling me to purchase these items and then try my hand at being a peddler."

That's the truth.

Situ Susu's financial assistance will indeed accelerate the accumulation of his start-up capital.

Although he had enough start-up capital when he decided to become a peddler.

"Hmm, being a peddler before becoming a martial artist isn't bad either." Situ Susu nodded slightly upon hearing this, indicating her agreement with Zhu Yuan's idea.

Then, she took a step closer and looked at Zhu Yuan's carrying pole on the ground.

"Let me see what it is."

"Second Miss, I only sell small trinkets, and the rouge is the lowest quality one." Seeing this, Zhu Yuan moved the basket containing the rouge closer so that the other party could see it, and explained.

"Since we've met, I'll patronize your business." Situ Susu's gaze swept over the simple needles and thread, the not-so-brightly colored rouge box, and the candies wrapped in oil paper, and she made a decision, "Then I'll have a candy."

"Alright, two coins." Zhu Yuan replied immediately, a smile spreading across his face.

He understood what Situ Susu meant; this was her way of expressing her support for him in the most natural way. So even if it was just a small business deal worth two coins, he had to accept it gladly.

Although the rouge was the most expensive item in his collection, Situ Susu clearly didn't use such ordinary goods, so buying it would be useless.

Buying candy is different; at least she can eat it herself.

"Xiaoqing, pay the bill," Situ Susu said to the maid beside her.

"Miss," the maid Xiaoqing paused for a moment, then looked at the basket and said directly, "I want one too."

"Then four coins it is." Situ Susu nodded.

"Okay, then four coins it is." Zhu Yuan smiled and repeated.

Then, deftly using a clean piece of small oil paper, she picked out two nice-looking candies from the candy packet and wrapped them up separately.

The transaction was completed quickly.

Xiaoqing handed four coins to Zhu Yuan, who then gave two wrapped candies to Situ Susu and Ya Xiaoqing respectively.

The master and servant took the candy, unwrapped the oil paper, and put the candy in their mouths.

Situ Susu smiled faintly, while her maid Xiaoqing smiled, clearly enjoying the simple sweetness.

Zhu Yuan was taken aback when he accepted the four coins.

"Zhu Yuan, what's wrong with you?" Situ Susu quickly noticed the change in Zhu Yuan.

"It's nothing, Second Miss." Zhu Yuan smiled and shook her head, clearly very happy. "I won't bother you any longer."

"Okay, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Zhu Yuan," the maid Xiao Qing greeted.

Zhu Yuan continued to do his business along the prescribed route.

In fact, he no longer has any interest in doing business.

Just now, he could clearly feel that he had successfully taken up the job of a peddler.

Completing the transaction with Situ Susu and successfully getting a job as a peddler gave Zhu Yuan the illusion that Situ Susu was his lucky star.

In reality, he should be able to become a peddler very soon, since this is already his fifth time doing so.

He always put in a lot of effort when he worked as a peddler.

Gaining everyone's approval leads to a natural and successful career choice.

Each person has a different level of importance, social status, and level of recognition, and all of these factors should have a significant impact.

This is an experience that Zhu Yuan has summarized himself based on the tips in ancient books.

From this perspective, Situ Susu gave him a strong push to become a peddler, and even though the road to becoming a peddler was a bit long in the end, she pushed him through it all.

After successfully becoming a peddler, the surge of warmth was mainly concentrated in his eyes.

The change in his eyes gave him a primary first impression: his field of vision seemed to have broadened.

This broadening of vision isn't the kind of intuitive widening, but rather a different kind of feeling.

Finding a quiet spot, Zhu Yuan put down his basket, lowered his head, and closed his eyes, looking like a peddler who was tired and just taking a short rest.

The ancient books in his mind opened under his control.

You can now turn to page four.

Occupation: Peddler Level: Lv1 (0/500)

Feature 1: Eyesight in all directions (white)

Feature 2: Unlocked at Lv3 (White)

Feature 3: Unlocked at Lv5 (Blue)

Eyes on All Sides (White): [As a peddler, you need to keep an eye out as you walk to avoid being bumped into by suddenly running children or splashed with water when a door opens. Your enhanced awareness of your surroundings allows you to handle unexpected situations more calmly and prevent problems with your goods.]

Good features.

Zhu Yuan was very satisfied with the effects of the special properties.

This trait has many uses, and the first thing Zhu Yuan thought of was when he was fighting with someone.

Even if his opponent launched a surprise attack faster than him, he could easily deal with it thanks to his special ability.

Like the butcher profession, the peddler profession requires 500 experience points to level up initially, and its third characteristic is indicated by blue text.

This was just as Zhu Yuan had predicted; he had estimated that peddlers and butchers were both third-class professions.

Hearing footsteps approaching, Zhu Yuan raised his head and opened his eyes.

The woman who came over was a middle-aged woman wearing a cloth apron. She looked like she had just come out of her house, and her hands still had some flour on them.

"What would you like to order, sir?"

Zhu Yuan immediately put on a warm smile and made a greeting gesture.

The middle-aged woman did not answer immediately. She first bent down and carefully examined Zhu Yuan's goods, her gaze lingering on the fine needle.

"How much is this needle?" She picked up a needle, twirled it between her fingers, and tested its hardness.

"Two coins per piece," Zhu Yuan quoted the price.

The middle-aged woman raised her head and looked at Zhu Yuan.

"How about one article?"

"One coin? I'll just give it to you for free." Zhu Yuan looked at the middle-aged woman, who seemed about to misunderstand, so he continued, "This is just a small business for me. One coin wouldn't even cover my costs, so I really can't sell it."

After saying that, he said no more, but made a move to pick up the load and prepare to continue walking forward, as if this business was optional and not urgent.

Different strategies should be used to deal with different people.

Zhu Yuan realized that the middle-aged woman was probably trying to take advantage of him.

"Alright, alright." Seeing that he was really going to leave, the middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, but finally took out two copper coins from her pocket. "Two coins it is, give me one."

"Alright, here you go." Zhu Yuan's face broke into a smile again as he deftly took the copper coin.

The transaction was completed relatively smoothly.

Zhu Yuan continued selling goods. After unlocking the peddler profession, he needed to continuously accumulate experience in the peddler profession.

There are still two more job traits that haven't been unlocked yet.
