The sign above it read:Monster Corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pushed the door open and went inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interior was a small room. In the corner sat a desk, with a man seated behind it. When I entered, he turned toward me, his eyes sweeping over me from head to toe before he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, we don’t give out charity here. Go look somewhere else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great... now they saw me as a beggar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked toward him, ignoring his harsh words.\"I’m not here to beg. I want to sell some corpses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t blame him. As long as I was suppressing my presence, I looked like nothing more than an ordinary young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re here to waste my time, I suggest you leave before I kick your ass out of this place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I rolled my eyes at his words, then removed the storage ring from my finger and tossed it to him.\"You can take a look inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still suspicious, but he did as I said. He sent a bit of his essence into the ring and checked its contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, his expression changed, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.\"Oh... you’re not lying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I extended my hand toward him.\"You can give it back now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hostility in my voice was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man complied and returned the ring.\"Alright, my little friend. Don’t be mad about my earlier mistake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stood up and gestured for me to follow him.\"Now, let’s go evaluate what you’ve got.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I followed him into a room connected to the office. Unlike the cramped office, this room was extremely spacious—more like a warehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw several people dragging massive corpses around, while others were cutting them apart, extracting useful materials before storing them in special containers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man pointed to an empty area.\"You can take them out here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his words, I sent my essence into the ring. Five corpses of second-rank monsters appeared in front of us. They were in relatively good condition—I had killed them all in a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the ring couldn’t hold any more. Otherwise, I would have brought extra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man walked among them, inspecting each one carefully. In the end, he stopped in front of a corpse that resembled a giant centipede, about three meters long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All second-rank, and in good condition. I won’t ask how you obtained them—that would go against black market rules.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped toward me and extended his hand for a handshake.\"I’ll give you forty-five thousand points for the five.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Points were the currency of this world. To make it simpler, one point was roughly equal to one dollar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at his hand without taking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did he think I was? An idiot?Forty-five thousand for five near-perfect second-rank corpses? Nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seventy-five thousand,\" I said, looking straight at his face as it stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on. We both know forty-five thousand is a fair price. I still need to process them before making any profit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ignored him and let him keep talking to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he realized I wasn’t listening, he ground his teeth.\"Fine. Fifty thousand. I added a full five thousand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, I could just take them and find another place to sell. After all, even top-tier adventurers don’t bring in corpses in this kind of condition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Veins popped out on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifty-three thousand... final offer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sixty thousand. I won’t accept anything less.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised my hand for a handshake, a faintly amused smile on my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hesitated for a moment, then finally shook my hand.\"Fine. Let’s leave them here and head back to the office.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We returned the same way we came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did I trick him? Of course not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sixty thousand was their real value. He had just tried to squeeze extra profit when he saw me as an inexperienced kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the office, he took his seat while I sat in the chair across from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, do you have a black card, or do you need one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black cards were similar to bank cards, but they only worked within the black market. If you wanted to withdraw the money later, you’d have to go to a specific place to transfer it to a regular bank account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I don’t have one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. That’ll cost you one thousand points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I rolled my eyes.\"Fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a black card from the drawer, placed it on a scanner connected to the computer, pressed a few buttons, then picked it up and handed it to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here you go. Fifty-nine thousand points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took the card and stood up to leave, but he stopped me before I reached the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at him over my shoulder.\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you head left from here and pass three shops, you’ll find a place that sells armor—and clothes, though they’re a bit pricey. Nearby, there’s also a public bath. You should go take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said that while gesturing at my miserable state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed, left the shop, and headed left, following his advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally... I’ll get some relief.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hot water enveloped my body as I washed away the dirt and blood. Most of my wounds had already healed completely, without leaving even a trace on my pale skin. That was one of the results of the experiments conducted on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fast healing... perfect healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I relaxed in the hot bath, my thoughts drifted to my next step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Verifying the nameAstroweild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To do that, I needed an information broker. I had one person in mind, but I didn’t know whether he was around at this stage of the story or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing to lose by checking. If he wasn’t here, I could always settle for someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bathing and changing into the clothes I bought—a black shirt, trousers, and dark shoes—that alone cost me 1,500 points... they really squeeze every last point out of you in this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also bought a communication device. It was similar to a phone from my previous life, but far more advanced. Since I purchased it along with contact information registered under another person’s name, it cost me 4,000 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed as I thought about those numbers. In my previous life, I could live for half a year with that amount. And now... I spent it in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things had really changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I arrived at another door, opened it, and went inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interior looked like a tavern, but far better than the one on the surface. Many mysterious individuals sat at the tables—some with their heads covered in cloaks, others wearing masks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were information brokers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked up to the bartender and asked,\"Is Red Eye here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I expected the answer to be no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But contrary to my expectations, he pointed toward a table in the corner.\"He’s over there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the table sat a person wrapped in a cloak that covered his entire body, focused on the mug of beer in his hand. I walked over, pulled out the chair across from him, and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Red Eye?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his head and looked at me. I saw his lips curl into a smile beneath the hood as he replied in a cheerful tone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the flesh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1266,"2026-06-02T09:38:16.884Z",1,"novelbin.me","46689dd17095c42aa557f097fce65fa376ab21e06473c75a77ca5644ed74eebc","reincarnated-as-the-final-villain-s-vessel-chapter-11","reincarnated-as-the-final-villain-s-vessel-chapter-9",183,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-final-villain-s-vessel-cover.jpg"]
