Are you sure?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless this woman had some hidden agenda, there was no reason to offer such a losing deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the crowd’s reaction, too shocked to even speak, Nash was sure the woman standing before him wasn’t ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, no need to doubt me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, since you’re willing to pay that much, I suppose I have no choice but to sell it to you,\" Nash said with a smile, accepting the offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t about to turn down free money offered to him up front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great. Please calculate the total—I want everything you have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even materials?\" Nash asked, perking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Materials were harder to sell than herbs. Since there wasn’t much demand, he usually had to offload them at a loss through official stores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...S-sure, you can pack those up too,\" the woman replied, her lips twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This black-hearted merchant was too shameless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were only talking about herbs. How did these low-tier beast materials suddenly get thrown into the deal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, unwilling to tarnish the Verdant Group’s reputation, she held her pride and agreed to the loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfect!\" Nash beamed, not expecting her to agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not wasting a second, he quickly counted the total value of his herbs and materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be sure about the official market price, he even called Aspen over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Nash’s shamelessness unfold, Aspen was just thankful he had already finished his business with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? You don’t know the price of this stuff? Remember—you have to give me the true price!\" Nash reminded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh...\" Aspen hesitated, catching the representative of the Verdant Group staring at him with fire in her eyes. Reluctantly, he gave Nash a subtle signal not to push too far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Taking a hint, Nash understood what Aspen was worried about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, this beauty promised me 50% above market price. Naturally, I need to know what the market price actually is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Nash’s eager expression, which seemed ready to drag him into a pit if he refused, Aspen sighed and gave the actual values.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And by \"true\" price, of course, he meant the premium rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Aspen’s help, Nash quickly tallied up everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, beauty. Everything adds up to 3,783 merits. With the 50% premium, that brings the total to 5,676 merits.\" Nash said excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had to know that even with the Sun Bow, he could only make about 2,000 merits in Silver Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, just by selling off his harvest, he had already earned over 7,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the number, the woman just rolled her eyes, too lazy to argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Leslie Crane sent you 6,000 merits]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do you accept?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Beauty, you sent too much! It’s only 5,676 merits,\" Nash reminded, thinking she overpaid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just take it as my token of appreciation,\" Leslie muttered, trying to sound casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Then I’ll graciously accept it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Free money was free money; refusing to accept it was a sin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Handing over all the herbs and materials, Nash was about to pack up and return to the real world when—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a minute. Can I talk to you for a while?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go on, I’m all ears.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had already accepted the money, Nash didn’t mind giving her a few minutes of his time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before saying another word, Leslie shot a meaningful look at the crowd, silently urging them to clear out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, I’ll come back later. Please save me another marshwort,\" Aspen said before leaving, unable to resist the reminder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry. I’ll set them aside after I go hunting tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a loyal customer who helped him earn extra money, Nash was happy to offer a little convenience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks, boss. See you tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the crowd dispersed, Leslie activated a sound barrier using an unknown item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the noise suddenly muted, Nash’s demeanor shifted, ready to run or fight at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax. I’m Leslie Crane, an agent of the Verdant Group. I just want to offer you an invitation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not interested,\" Nash replied immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never intended to work under anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t even know the offer. Have you even heard of the Verdant Group?\" Leslie frowned at his instant rejection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve heard about the reputation of the Verdant Group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why? Do you already belong to another organization?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. I just don’t want to be a lackey for someone else. And besides, you’re only here because you want me to gather herbs, right?\" Nash said, cutting straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment she approached, he had been sizing her up. After some thought, her motive was clear: she wanted his ability to find herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harvesting high-grade herbs in one go like he had wasn’t something an average scavenger could do. It suggested he had a unique ability to locate rare resources in dangerous zones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, hearing Nash’s words, Leslie’s expression tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, her entire reason for approaching him was his talent in the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she wasn’t exactly sure what ability he had, having someone like Nash on their team would ensure they never returned empty-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, the Verdant Group had recently discovered signs of a perfect quality herb in the Willow Swamp—a Tier 5 danger zone near Dark Willow Shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A perfect herb! Even for a giant like the Verdant Group, it was a rare resource.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, they didn’t have the manpower to dispatch to such a remote location, so they had no choice but to rely on local talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking Nash had the right skill for the job, Leslie decided to recruit him as a pathfinder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will you hear me out first? Since you don’t want to join the organization, how about working with us as a temporary pathfinder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pathfinder? For what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ve received intel about a Tier 1 perfect herb appearing near Black Willow Shelter. We want to hire you to help locate it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Tier 1 perfect herb?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing it was a perfect herb, his breathing couldn’t help but quicken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the lowest-tier perfect herb could be sold for a minimum of a million merits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some could even fetch ten million or more, depending on rarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was not as expensive as a perfect weapon, it was still a life-changing fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could find it on his own, it would save him years of struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>",1073,"2026-06-06T08:03:14.164Z",1,"novelbin.me","5eb49cb0ea841737e76c4483aad7db2f2b6cefe04d3563ede5d4d196c7415510","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-85","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-83",665,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-program-my-body-cover.jpg"]
