Chapter 19 – Deal (Bonus Chapter)

“It’s not a big deal, there is a hidden system mechanic. First 3-5 players in the game to max a stat in a certain way get a unique passive for that stat. But since I already took agility…the other slots are still open.”

Hum!

Anonymous felt his heart racing and body shaking with excitement after hearing Yone’s words, his curiosity was reaching new heights as he truly wanted to know this system mechanic Requiem spoke of.

“Let’s just say I’m willing to trade this info…but not for free.”

This single message from Yone left Anonymous in sweat and anticipation,’ Will his price be as high as the 1 silver from earlier or even more expensive?’ He truly wished to know, but his sister’s words suddenly resurfaced and his mind and heart greatly calmed down, his focus sharpening and mind racing with all possible deals he could make.

‘If worse comes to worse, I’ll just use White Wings and not make this deal personal, Night won’t refuse it if the info is as good as I think it is,’ With that thought, Ano asked.

“How much do you want?”

“How much do you think something like this is worth? You saw my opening just now on that crab monster, so you know its not a trivial upgrade,” Yone was serious this time as he spoke, he truly disliked selling such insane information that gave a true edge in the mid and late game, but since random people with automatically discover it starting from a day onwards, he he needed to profit from it.

‘How much should I give? That attack speed is indeed not natural, and he said that’s only related to agility and that stat is already taken by him so only a one spot for each stat is available, if we can monopolize it all before other players mistakenly take it, it will be a huge upgrade to our main roster later on.’ Ano felt that such a decision was becoming a bit bigger than he initially thought, the thought that only a few players could have this system mechanic was truly terrifying and tempting.

Taking a side glance at his sister, he hesitated,’ Should I ask her for an opinion or from my big brother? No, no…I need to make this deal by myself, so Night and my little sister know my worth, I can’t act like I did on End World, we aren’t children anymore, and a lot of money is at stake this time around,’ With that thought and determination in mind, Ano gritted his teeth and spoke.

“Thirty silver…I’ll give you thirty silver for it.”

Hum!

Yone was shocked and dumbfounded after hearing the price Ano casually gave, his mind struggling to process the information even after several seconds. At this moment, Yone truly felt how insignificant a character he truly was back in his past life.

‘What the fuck, the game just started more than two hours ago and White Wings already have 30 silver? If this is what a top first-rate guild can dish out this early on, then how much can super guilds dish out,’ Yone suddenly felt that his plans needed to take a step further and he shouldn’t take it slow anymore.

Determined, he even had the thought of grinding to level 10 using all possible valuable spots and quests as fast as possible to take a huge lead.

‘Calm down, Yone calm down, this is just the first deal with a well-known guild in your past life and you are crashing down already? Then how about later on when dealing with super guilds and the likes of Guardians Angels,’ Yone kept calming himself down, reasonably convincing himself that this is ordinary.

What Yone didn’t notice, was that while he was deep in thought, his lips curled into a smile and his grip on his dagger tightened even more, he was feeling excited just by thinking about the future deals and mind games he would have to play to take control over many resources and valuable lands.

Ano was feeling anxious as he awaited the response from Yone,’ Is the price too low or is he dissatisfied with the way I worded it? Damn it, I don’t have much experience in this unlike my siblings.’ He cursed but still kept his composure in front of his sister, failing to see that HealtheWorld had already read the whole situation already without even knowing the contents of the deal.

‘Not bad, it’s taking long so a deal is being made, although it’s unknown how good it is, big brother Night will be pleased with this,’ HealtheWorld thought, she was impressed but didn’t show it on the surface as to not give boost to her brother’s ego.

“Tsk, I was thinking more like 80…but since we’re on good terms, I’ll let it go for 50,” Yone sent the message with a smile emoji at the end, which Ano received instantly.

Gulp!…

Anonymous gulped down his saliva as he read the price, his hands shaking,’ This…Its not impossible if we sell a lot of the items we accumulated so far in the different grinding zones we control and even ask a lot of our guild members to give out a chunk of their money, its just that if the info isn’t as good as I think it is or seen this can truly be a problem.’

Yone noticed the hesitation in Ano’s eyes from afar and his lack of response and slightly pushed him,” A top guild like White Wings surely doesn’t lack 50 silver at this stage of the game no? It isn’t much for you considering your guild members that exceeded a hundred thousand already.”

Yone’s smile widened as he watched Ano sweat from afar.

On the other hand, Anonymous was hesitant as he typed,” 40 is my limit.”

“You’re truly missing out. This system mechanic isn’t simple and our cooperation will keep growing from now on. Think again, or maybe you’re not willing to give a bit of trust and cancel the deal?” Yone opened his arms and palms, feeling sad that the deal was about to break.

“Of course not…deal, but I’ll need time to gather the necessary funds, so lets sign a contract at the adventurer association first and foremost with you detailing the system mechanic this time around,” Ano bit his lips and agreed, he had a deep feeling that this assassin might be the last piece of the puzzle he needed to grow bigger in the eyes of his siblings and more importantly…His parents!
