Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 399 Key Clients (First Update)

After browsing the first and second floors, Jerry finally arrived at the third floor, which was his main destination on this trip to the Myriad Races Trading Market.

Because this place has the largest and most professional item appraisal and acquisition shops in the entire multiverse trading market.

With so many planets in the universe, there are countless special resources, and determining their value is not an easy task.

According to the Heart of Xandar, this shop on the third floor of the Multiverse Trading Market is the most famous and currently ranks first in terms of purchase volume among all the item appraisal and acquisition shops on Xandar.

As various aliens carried their goods into the shop, Jerry followed them in unnoticed.

However, the moment he stepped into the shop, the high-tech camera at the entrance scanned him and recorded his appearance.

Meanwhile, inside the shop's manager's office.

Magus, with his red skin, was shaking his head and sighing as he looked at the shop's profits for the month when suddenly the office's intelligent system issued a notification:

"Key customer targets have been identified and are being brought into the store!"

Immediately afterwards, Jerry's virtual full-body image appeared in mid-air in the office.

"Asgardians!"

When Magus saw the video introducing Jerry, his eyes lit up, and he got up and hurriedly walked out of the office.

The personal information of every resident on Xandar, including visitors, is kept completely confidential, and only relevant government law enforcement personnel have the right to view it.

Therefore, Magus naturally has no right to view Jerry's personal information.

However, to ensure the business of the store, he has hired workers to patrol the spaceport 24 hours a day, recording and sending information to the store whenever potential customers appear.

Jerry's conspicuous Asgardian spaceship naturally falls within the scope of what needs to be recorded.

So when Jerry stepped into the store, the scanner at the entrance immediately detected that a key customer had appeared and sent the notification to the manager, Magus.

Therefore, the information Magus saw about Jerry was not from Earthlings, but from Asgardians.

In fact, as the manager of the most powerful store in the industry, he didn't need to personally greet key customers when they came to the store; he could just send a manager.

But there's nothing he can do. The store's revenue has dropped significantly, and if he doesn't take better care of things, the store manager's position will probably be reassigned soon.

To be honest, he was a rather unlucky person.

It turns out that the item appraisal and acquisition industry on Xandar is already a red ocean, after all, over the years, almost all extraterrestrial items have been appraised.

Many items were already recorded at the Heart of Xandar; their value could be roughly determined simply by scanning them with a communication device.

Therefore, most aliens can simply take their items to the corresponding shops to sell or exchange them. They don't need to come here to pay for appraisals and then have their items appraised so that the shops can reap the benefits when they buy them.

What's worse is that Magus has been in this industry for decades, and after finally climbing from the lowest level of appraiser to the position of manager, his shop is now facing the danger of being overtaken by the second-ranked shop.

He could imagine that if this situation occurred, he could be fired by the higher-ups in no time.

Decades of effort have gone down the drain.

His skin has become noticeably paler from worrying so much lately.

After Jerry entered the huge store, he didn't immediately find an appraiser to start the appraisal. Instead, he wandered around inside.

He has many items in the Ring World, but he doesn't know which ones are easier to sell here, so he plans to observe other people's transactions to gain some experience.

Although he couldn't understand what these aliens were saying, he could still gain some insights by observing their expressions and reading their true emotions.

After wandering around for a while, he discovered that the aliens were appraising and selling all sorts of strange items. Some looked like plants, some looked like animal bones, some looked like special minerals, and there were all kinds of bizarre technological super-products.

Among them, those unusual technological products or energy products seem to be more popular with appraisers.

He thought about it for a moment, and perhaps it was because Xandar was a planet with a highly advanced technological civilization, so it would be more interested in technological products from other planets.

Moreover, its value should not only lie in the product itself, but also in the new technologies it contains.

Just like on Earth, a technologically advanced product with cutting-edge technology is definitely more valuable than gold, silver, or exotic plants.

If this were a magical civilization, then that would be a different story.

Even the most technologically advanced product will be worthless in Diagon Alley, but some herbs with special properties can fetch a high price.

Therefore, Jerry had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"I need to authenticate some things!"

Jerry walked up to the young, blue-skinned female appraiser who was closest to him.

The blue-skinned female appraiser, after clearly hearing Jerry's words through the translator in her ear, glanced at Jerry, whose hands were empty, with some surprise, and then replied very politely:

"Hello, sir/madam, please show me your belongings!"

Although the female appraiser was young and had only recently entered the industry, she didn't treat clients who didn't seem to have anything valuable to appraise, unlike some of her colleagues who treated them poorly and didn't earn much commission.

Because her family was not well-off, she entered the industry as an appraiser early on, hoping to earn more money so that her younger siblings could attend a good school.

She always believed that poor people should not look down on other poor people, so no matter what kind of customer she was dealing with or how small the order was, she would do her best to assess and serve them.

"Okay, just a moment!"

Just as Jerry was about to take something out of the ring world, a steady voice suddenly came from behind the female appraiser:

"I'll take this order myself, and your commission will be credited afterward."

"Manager!"

The blue-skinned female appraiser looked surprised when she saw the red-skinned Magus behind her, then nodded obediently and gave up her place.

"Distinguished guest, I am now at your service. Please present the item you wish to have appraised."

Magus stood in the original position of the female appraiser and said with a smile.

As soon as he arrived in the lobby, he saw that the important client was about to have his items appraised by a junior appraiser. Fearing that the junior appraiser was not capable enough, he immediately stepped forward and took the place himself.

What he didn't know was that Jerry didn't have a translator or any communication equipment, so he couldn't understand the signs for "beginner," "intermediate," "advanced," and "top-level" appraisers or the different appraisal fees listed on them. He just randomly picked one.
