"Let me pick up a handy weapon for Brother Xingyun too!" Nie Li smiled and said to Caidie beside him. "Miss Caidie, could you please take that one down for me?"
"That's a sixth-grade treasure, the Silver Moon Blade. It's priced at roughly fifty thousand Spirit Stones!" Caidie took the Silver Moon Blade off the rack and said with a coy smile. Setting aside the terrifying haggling aside, Nie Li was actually quite decisive when it came to making purchases, unlike many customers who would dither for ages.
"Thirty thousand Spirit Stones. Whether you sell it or not — that depends on one word from you, Miss Caidie," Nie Li said with a calm smile.
Caidie stared at Nie Li as though she had seen a ghost. The psychological floor price for this sixth-grade Silver Moon Blade was right around thirty thousand Spirit Stones — down to the last coin! She had listed it at fifty thousand, expecting Nie Li to slash the price in half, and she would have flatly refused. But she never imagined he would call out the exact bottom line.
Refuse? And give up on the deal entirely? But if she accepted, she'd be selling at rock bottom — the margin would be slim, but at least there'd be some profit.
With Spirit Stones in hand, their Heavenly Treasure Pavilion could go to the Divine Artisan Hall and stock up on even more treasures.
After a brief moment of thought, Caidie smiled helplessly. "Young Master Nie has a sharp eye and an exceptional mind. Thirty thousand Spirit Stones — deal!"
Nie Li smiled faintly. A treasure like this would sell for about twenty-seven thousand Spirit Stones at the Divine Artisan Hall. After deducting travel costs and other expenses, thirty thousand was definitely profitable for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Of course, pushing any lower and they wouldn't accept, since there'd be no point.
"Miss Caidie, how much for that sixth-grade Black Cloud Battle Armor set?" Nie Li turned to Caidie and asked.
"Young Master, name your price. If it works, I'll sell it to you," Caidie said after a moment's thought. She decided not to quote a price. If she kept naming prices, she'd just be revealing exactly how much profit the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion made. She wanted to see whether Nie Li truly knew treasure pricing inside and out.
"The bracers, chest plate, gauntlets, greaves, and belt — one hundred and thirty thousand Spirit Stones combined," Nie Li said after a brief consideration.
Caidie stared at him blankly for a moment, then nodded. "One hundred and thirty thousand Spirit Stones it is!" What else was there to say?
For so many pieces, Nie Li's offer was only five thousand Spirit Stones off the floor price. What kind of monster was he? She had truly run into a real expert this time!
But Nie Li really was decisive when it came to buying things — tossing out hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones without so much as blinking.
Caidie continued asking, "Is there anything else the young master needs?"
"That armor set, one hundred and twenty thousand Spirit Stones! That one, one hundred and twenty-five thousand! That one, one hundred and thirty-five thousand!" Nie Li pointed here and there.
"All of that? You're taking them all?" Caidie was stunned. She had just realized that the total value of everything Nie Li was purchasing had reached an astonishing level.
"Mm." Nie Li nodded. "Wrap those up first. I'll keep looking at the rest!"
"Right away." Caidie looked visibly excited.
Working here serving wealthy young masters, she earned a commission of several dozen to several hundred Spirit Stones per item sold. After these transactions with Nie Li, she would pocket at least a thousand Spirit Stones. How could she not be excited?
In the distance, Wudie — who had been sitting with Li Yufeng — watched the flushed and excited Caidie with a twinge of jealousy in her heart. She had been pitching items to Li Yufeng for ages without selling a single one, while Caidie had only been with Nie Li for a short while and had already closed more sales than she had in years.
