Kill one monster, stack one poison, and I alone will poison my way across the world!

The armed bus returned to Tianhe City smoothly. Su Chen did not go home, but went to the headquarters of the Professionals Chamber of Commerce.

More than twenty minutes later.

Su Chen pushed open the luxurious crystal glass door of the Chamber of Commerce hall and headed straight for the president's office.

however.

As he passed the general merchandise sales counter in Section C, he suddenly stopped.

He blinked, his gaze landing on the person behind the counter who was idly wiping the glass.

The man was wearing a slightly cheap blue and white uniform for a junior sales clerk in the Chamber of Commerce, but Su Chen was all too familiar with his distinctive face.

The man behind the counter seemed to notice the gaze and subconsciously looked up.

When he realized that the person who came was Su Chen.

He fell silent.

Su Chen: "..."

Zhang Ze: "..."

The two were staring at each other, separated by a one-meter-wide glass counter.

An awkward silence hung in the air.

After a moment, Zhang Ze's chubby face fell, his eyes filled with a look of wanting to cry but having no tears.

Su Chen braced his hands on the counter, leaning slightly forward, and asked curiously, "President Zhang, what's with your clothes...? Is it fashionable for upper-class members of the Chamber of Commerce to go on incognito visits and experience life at the grassroots level now?"

Upon hearing the words "Chairman Zhang," Zhang Ze's face twitched violently, and he nearly crushed the rag in his hand.

"Don't mention it, Su Chen. Stop teasing me."

Zhang Ze, his face full of bitterness, poured out his grievances: "I'm no longer some kind of association president, I'm just a lowly sales clerk, all thanks to that Bai Zhi!"

"Angelica dahurica?"

Su Chen raised an eyebrow.

Of course he knew Bai Zhi's true identity.

However, these were all classified as state secrets, so he naturally wouldn't leak them.

A perfectly timed hint of doubt appeared on his face. "The one who used to make tea in the reception room?"

"Yes! That's her!"

Zhang Ze gritted his teeth, his voice low and tinged with lingering fear, "Who would have thought that the seemingly well-behaved girl was actually a demon spy!"

Su Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and his surprise deepened: "A demon spy? Infiltrating the merchant guild as a sales clerk?"

Zhang Ze sighed and continued, "Her identity was exposed yesterday, and we were all taken in by the military for investigation. I was only released this morning."

"Although she escaped, the upper echelons of the chamber of commerce are furious!"

"As the president of the Tianhe City branch, I failed to discover that there was a demon spy lurking right under my nose. This blame has been firmly placed on my head."

Zhang Ze's chubby face jiggled: "One transfer order from above, and I was stripped of everything, demoted from branch president to this run-down counter as a sales clerk, with all of this year's bonus deducted. If it weren't for the fact that I've worked hard over the past few years, even if I haven't made any great contributions, I probably wouldn't even have a job."

My condolences.

Su Chen offered a half-hearted consolation, then immediately cut to the chase, "Now that you're a salesperson, business should still be possible, right? How are those gold-grade equipment I consigned with you doing?"

When business was mentioned, Zhang Ze immediately dropped his sour face and reverted to his shrewd businessman nature.

Even though he's fallen to rock bottom now, he doesn't want to let go of Su Chen, this super potential stock.

He quickly tapped a few keys on the control panel in front of him, brought up a data panel, and pushed it in front of Su Chen.

"The equipment you consigned for sale had good stats, and it was just before the college entrance exams, so it was snapped up by all the major guilds and rich kids."

Zhang Ze pointed to the numbers on the panel, "A total of 4500 million gold coins were sold, far exceeding the market average price!"

"4500 million?"

Su Chen's eyes lit up.

In Tianhe City, an average person's monthly salary is only three to four thousand gold coins.

This 4500 million is an absolute fortune for him at this stage.

however.

His smile froze when he saw the final settlement amount.

Final settlement amount: 3600 million gold coins

Su Chen gasped and couldn't help but purse his lips.

Indeed, in any world, capitalists should be hung on streetlights!

Zhang Ze explained, "We used the emergency lane earlier, which did incur higher fees, but..."

Zhang Ze made another operation on the screen.

"Given the large transaction amount this time, your Chamber of Commerce VIP level has been automatically upgraded to level 2."

"Transaction fees permanently reduced by 4%!"

Zhang Ze explained, "The handling fee will continue to decrease as you upgrade to a higher VIP level."

"Alright, 36 million it is."

Su Chen was too lazy to dwell on it.

He threw all the materials and equipment he had obtained from the college entrance exam dungeon and this job change dungeon onto the counter.

"Continue to consign these for me. Calculate the handling fee according to the level 2 VIP standard."

Zhang Ze glanced at the materials on the table, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Dark gold-grade equipment?! These stats... Holy crap, and these materials too, you really did steal from the Lin family's warehouse, didn't you?"

Zhang Ze gasped.

There aren't many people selling Dark Gold-grade equipment.

Most guilds can't even allocate enough resources among their own members.

Also, some of the materials... can only be dropped by epic-level bosses, right?

"Get out!"

Su Chen was furious.

Do I look like someone who lives off a woman?

Even if I, Su Chen, starve to death, die outside, or jump off this cliff, I will never eat a single bite of a woman's rice!

"Ah, yes, yes, as long as it comes from a clean source, there's no problem."

Zhang Ze quickly put the materials away.

The way he looked at Su Chen now was as if he were looking at a moving mountain of gold.

If he can cling to this powerful figure, he might still have a chance to turn his life around!

Su Chen tapped on the counter and said, "Also, check your guild's inventory for me. I need a mage weapon around level 25, it must have the [Advanced Splash Damage] or similar affix that increases attack range, and preferably be of Dark Gold rank or higher. Money is not an issue."

He had run several dungeons without getting a single weapon drop for the mage, and he was ready to give up.

Why not just use your money and buy one directly?

Anyway, I have so much money in my backpack that I have no idea what to buy.

"Advanced splashing?"

Zhang Ze was taken aback. "This kind of term is rare, and it's not popular with mages."

He immediately began frantically searching the system.

A few minutes later, he looked up, covered in sweat, and looked at Su Chen apologetically.

"Um, I'm really sorry."

"Tianhe City is just an ordinary prefecture-level city, and the Chamber of Commerce has a limited inventory of top-quality products."

Zhang Ze wiped his sweat: "The Tianhe City branch doesn't have what you need right now."

"No?"

Su Chen frowned.

"Hmm, this kind of entry rarely appears."

Zhang Ze paused for a moment, then said, "Perhaps you could try having someone make it?"

"..."

Su Chen was stunned.

Yes.

This world isn't just about combat and support classes.

How could you forget about your livelihood and career?

During the previous awakening ceremony, some students awakened the blacksmith skill.

Blacksmiths can naturally forge all kinds of equipment, and the most skilled top blacksmiths can even forge divine artifacts.

"Does your chamber of commerce have a master blacksmith?"

"There isn't one in Tianhe City, but... it just so happens that our Chamber of Commerce's master blacksmith, Jiang Buyu, is in the Northern Frontier. If you go to Tianqiong Academy, it will be very convenient for you to find him."

"Okay, please send me your contact information."

Su Chen noted down the contact information and turned to leave.

Su Chen had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped.

He turned his head and looked at Zhang Ze, who was wearing a cramped sales clerk uniform behind the counter.

"Little Zhang."

"..."

Zhang Ze was taken aback: "Huh?"

"Do a good job."

Su Chen patted off non-existent dust and sighed, "Although you're just a salesperson now, as long as you work hard to promote the potions, one day you'll climb back to the position of president. I believe in you."

After saying that, Su Chen ignored Zhang Ze's smug expression, whistled, and walked out of the Chamber of Commerce in high spirits.

"..."

Zhang Ze watched Su Chen's departing figure, his eyes twitching wildly.

Nima!

That kid has such a sharp tongue!
