Chapter 726: A Complete Transformation (8)

Zhao Jing is the clan's tailor, and has quite a stockpile of rare materials.

If he has them, Zhao Chi won't need to open a self-select material treasure chest.

Zhao Jing asked, "I do have some, but how much do you want? You're not going to ask for just one or two portions again, are you?"

Zhao Chi: "How much do you have? How much per portion?"

Zhao Jing: "You're asking me how much I have? From your tone, it sounds like you want a lot! I only have about 330 portions on hand. If you want them, it's 55 silver coins per portion."

55 silver coins?

At least double the market price!

Zhao Chi: "Fifth Brother, if the clan has a use for them, I won't buy them. But if you can't use them, can't you just earn a little less?"

Zhao Jing: "What's so expensive about it? I still have to pay taxes. How much are you buying?"

Zhao Chi: "I'll take all of them."

Zhao Jing: "Like hell you'll take all of them. Things are so chaotic right now, we might be out of stock for a long time. If I sell it all to you, where am I supposed to get more later?"

Zhao Chi: "... Fair enough. Then how much can you give me? And what's your lowest price?"

Zhao Jing: "Fine, I'll give you half. 50 silver coins is the lowest. If you think it's too expensive, then don't buy it."

That price was way too high — it had already far exceeded the price of a self-select material treasure chest.

He'd be better off opening a treasure chest and transferring the data values.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chi asked again, "Fifth Brother, do you have any self-select material treasure chests? For those, I don't mind paying a high price."

Zhao Jing: "I do. I'll sell them to you for 10 gold coins each."

Zhao Chi: "How many do you have? I'll take them!"

Zhao Jing was a little speechless. "Are you stupid? A self-select material treasure chest can only yield 5 portions of rare materials. Buying 5 portions of materials costs only 2.5 gold coins. Wouldn't paying 10 gold coins for a chest be several times more expensive?"

Zhao Chi: "Don't worry about it. I'm willing to pay 10 gold coins. How many can you sell me?"

Zhao Jing: "You... fine, I'll sell them to you for 8 gold coins. I can give you 5. Are you really sure? Why not just buy the materials directly?"
