Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

"Your Excellency... how should I address you?"

"Mr. White Mask? Or do you have another code name?"

Looking at his silent older brother, Leo spoke up.

Since his older brother didn't want to reveal his identity, he didn't mind playing along and continuing the act.

"...The Joker." The man in the pure white mask paused. "That's my code name in the organization."

The clown?

It seems to be named after the clown mask on its waist?

Leo seemed thoughtful, then said with a smile, "Mr. Clown, you must have seen the letter I left earlier, right?"

Upon hearing this, the Joker snapped out of his daze. He had been so surprised by Leo's performance that he had almost forgotten about it.

"I saw it." The clown's tone was questioning. "You said you wanted to work with me to sell good stuff?"

"That's right." Leo's smile widened. "I lack the strength, and dealing with the black market is risky."

"But with your help, Mr. Clown, things would be different."

"After it's done, I'll take 80% and you take 20%."

He added, "Don't underestimate the 20%; if everything goes smoothly, it will be a fortune you can't ignore."

"Don't think that I'm getting an 80% advantage by taking advantage of you."

"I need to establish channels and advance funds to purchase, so my actual returns are much lower than yours."

Beneath the clown's pure white mask, his brows gradually furrowed.

Upon hearing this "request for cooperation," his first thought wasn't about how much profit he would make, but rather how much risk his younger brother would bear in this matter.

He wanted to ask, but remembering that he was still "hiding his identity," he didn't know how to say the words that were on his lips.

After much deliberation, I decided that rather than letting Leo do whatever he wanted and risk being harmed by the mystical organization again while I was away, it would be better for me to keep an eye on him.

That way, if any problems arise, he can handle them promptly.

Thinking of this, the clown nodded slightly: "I grant your request."

Leo smiled inwardly.

This matter is half accomplished!

……

Port area.

Leo revisits the black market, this time leading the Joker directly to its door.

Clearly, in the eyes of the Sequence Walkers, the gate to the black market is as clear as a lighthouse in the night, and they don't need to search for it bit by bit like Leo did.

Leo strolled around the outskirts of the black market and shook his head in disappointment.

The same old people were selling things, but he didn't find what he wanted.

Without lingering, he headed straight for the stock exchange.

Inside the stock exchange.

Seeing Leo and the Joker enter the room together, the bird-beaked masked man, who was the exchange administrator, was stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, Leo said, "We're together."

"...Okay." Although puzzled, the man in the bird-beak mask was well aware of the rules of the black market: don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.

He glanced at Leo, who was now seated across from him, and chuckled, "What would you like to order this time, sir?"

The mask Leo was wearing was exactly the same as the one he wore last time. Therefore, the man in the bird-beak mask immediately recognized the person in front of him as the VIP customer who had made him "make a fortune" a week ago.

Meanwhile, the "clown" standing next to him was the VIP customer from whom he "made a fortune".

It's quite a strange fate that my two distinguished guests have come together...

The man in the bird-beak mask inexplicably wanted to laugh, but he held it in.

He's a professional; under normal circumstances, he would never laugh unless he couldn't help it.

"Pfft!"

Leo looked at the other person with a puzzled expression: "Mr. Trader, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing...it's nothing!" The man in the bird-beak mask quickly composed himself and regained his usual composure: "Please tell me your needs."

Leo didn't bother to understand why the other party suddenly laughed. He took out a wooden box from his pocket, opened it, and displayed it on the table: "I'm here to discuss a long-term deal with you."

The man in the bird-beak mask's gaze fell on the dark crystal inside the wooden box, his eyes narrowing slightly: "A transcendent material with the Shadow attribute?"

Moreover, it's the same kind as the last one?

interesting……

When the last transaction ended, he agreed to "invest" without really having much hope; he just wanted to befriend this client.

It's just a book called "Potion Making," it's not worth much.

But looking at the current situation, my investment from last time has actually yielded returns so quickly?

His gaze involuntarily swept over the "clown" standing behind him, and he noticed that the clown's eyes seemed a little strange.

"Tell me, what is long-term trading?"

The man in the bird-beak mask placed his hands on the table, his attitude becoming noticeably serious, and he began to speak with great interest.

"It's simple," Leo said with a smile. "I've found a stable source of Shadow-attribute extraordinary materials and want to establish a long-term trading relationship with the black market."

Stable channels...

The man in the bird-beak mask narrowed his eyes slightly: "...I am indeed very interested, but the black market may not have that many of the curiosities you need."

"No need," Leo shook his head. "There's no need to settle accounts with rare items."

"Gold will do."

"One piece of material with the Shadow attribute, one kilogram of gold."

In the westernmost part of the world, one gold virgin weighs about ten grams. One kilogram of gold is equivalent to 100 gold virgins.

The gold content of one Gold Vilin is slightly different from that of gold coins in the Fantasy Adventurer Continent, but overall they are about the same and can be basically substituted for each other.

The price of 100 Gold Vilens is not expensive, and can even be considered cheap, for a rare Shadow attribute extraordinary material.

Leo set this price considering the long-term nature of the transaction.

The clown standing nearby felt a jolt of fear upon hearing the offer.

He had previously used a rare item worth 120 gold virgins to obtain that Dark Fragment.

He suddenly realized that the Dark Fragment he had bought last time might have come from his younger brother.

No wonder he had been searching high and low all this time, but couldn't find even a single piece of extraordinary material with the Shadow attribute.

It turns out the source was right beside us...

On the other side, the man in the bird-beak mask nodded slightly upon hearing the price: "100 gold virgins, that's not expensive."

"If you want rare items, that's a bit of a hassle, but as for money... we have plenty!"

"Just as you said, one kilogram of gold per unit. How much you have, our black market exchange will take it all."

The cross-border trade is done!

A broad smile appeared on Leo's face beneath the mask.

A Dark Shard, which costs 5 gold to acquire, can be resold for 100 gold in the Western Regions.

Even after deducting the 20 gold that goes to the cheap older brother, there's still 80 gold left.

1500% profit!

With enough Dark Fragments, he could achieve complete potion freedom!

With the Tempering Gold Potion and Moonlight Dew Potion, he can raise the Bear Breathing Technique to level 3 in a little over a day and complete the [Warrior] job advancement!

Not only that, he can also use this profit to upgrade his equipment.

The leather armor and iron sword he's using now are just ordinary stuff. It's said that the best blacksmith shop in Baihe Town sells enchanted weapons and armor with magical effects.

The longsword on the Azure Silver Sword Maiden's body, which resembled the flowing light of moonlight, was a high-grade enchanted weapon.

Weapons and armor are also important components of an adventurer's strength.

With his excellent equipment, he will have a better chance of ranking among the top in the upcoming Silver Moon Maze.

"Then, it's a pleasure to cooperate," Leo said with a smile.

Across from him, the man in the bird-beak mask spoke with amusement: "Pleasure doing business with you."

The latter was still basking in the anticipation of at least 20% "profit," unaware that Leo's profits were even more astonishing.
