TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

"Dear customer, we can give you a twenty-five percent discount if your dear customer buys these two skills. The combined value of the two abilities is eight hundred creature crystals or thirty-three crystals from the mine, but with the discount, the value is six hundred creature crystals or twenty-five crystals from the mine. " The maid did the calculation and said the value.

(Twenty-five crystals from the mine? Twenty-five percent of thirty-three is a little less than twenty-five. It seems that she raised the price a bit to make the value accurate) Liu Yang estimated she would give twenty-four crystals and a little more, but it wasn't twenty-five.

(I remember that the value of the skills using the crystals of the creatures is much more expensive than using the crystals from the mine. It seems that they want the customer to use the crystals from the mine.) Liu Yang remembered the prices the maid spoke of.

She had that the price of the Mining skill is one hundred crystals from the creatures or three crystals from the mine. And the Stone Sense ability is seven hundred creature crystals or thirty crystals from the mine.

One hundred crystals of the creatures are a little more than three crystals from the mine. And seven hundred crystals of creatures are more than thirty crystals from mine.

The store was trying to sell cheaper if the customer buys through the crystals from mine, as these types of crystal are the ones that are worth more. Nobles don't want the creatures' crystals, so stores had to do as much as possible to sell items for crystals from the mine.

(The sum of the crystals given by Aruna and Pargi are thirty-five crystals from the mine and about eighty crystals of the creatures. I have already spent the eighty crystals of creatures to pay the entrance fee and the three days at the hotel and I only have the crystals from the mine left... If I buy these two skills, I will only have ten crystals left ... I need to mine at least three hundred crystals to buy the skills I want.) Liu Yang was wondering whether or not he should buy both skills.

Without having much choice, he decided to buy both skills.

The store had hundreds of copies of these two skills, they sell at that price because they are highly sought after by miners. At least the Stone Sense skill, the Mining skill, all miners had.

"I will buy these two skills, but can you give me another small discount?" Liu Yang spoke after thinking for a while.

"Dear customer, I can make another small discount, but I can only accept crystal from the mines" The maid was happy to see that she is going to sell something.

To increase the chances of receiving crystals from the mine, the maid agreed to give a little more discount, but this will only happen if Liu Yang pays using the crystals from the mine.

"How many percent off?" Liu Yang only had creature crystals in his bag.

If he can get more discounts when buying things, he will be happy with that.

"Dear customer, I can offer another five percent discount. In total, the discount will be thirty percent. The final value is twenty-three crystals from the mine" The maid replied.

The new discount further reduced the value of both skills.

"Can the discount be a little higher? How thirty-five percent? " Liu Yang tried to lower the price a little more. He wanted to pay as little as possible for both skills.

The store was already making good money selling for twenty-three crystals from the mine. If the price drops a little more, they are still in profit.

"Dear customer, I'm already giving a big discount of thirty percent, more than that is almost impossible..." The maid was showing a pitiful face to Liu Yang. She already gave a big discount, but he wanted more.

(This guy ... He is very stingy) That was the maid's opinion of Liu Yang. She knows that many show up at the store and try to haggle, but Liu Yang was trying to go to the limit.

"Can the discount be one or two more crystals from the mine?" Liu Yang tried some more.

A crystal from the mine was the equivalent of two or three days inside a hotel and a good meal. Liu Yang will not waste this.

"Dear customer, the most I can do is cut it down to a crystal. The limit value is twenty-two crystals from the mine. This is enough?" The maid showed a very pitiful face.

"This is fine with me. I will buy both skills "Liu Yang agreed to buy for twenty-two crystals.

"Dear customer, I thank you for your purchase" The maid removed her pitiful face and showed a beautiful smile at the same moment that Liu Yang accepted the purchase.

The change was very fast !!!

(She was just pretending, even if she dropped one or two more crystals. The store will still make quite a profit) Liu Yang thought. He realized that the maid was just making a scene to try to get him to take the proposed price.

"Dear customer, here are the two skill cards" The maid placed two cards on the counter. She didn't care that someone could steal the cards.

No one would have the courage to do that inside the store.

"Here are the twenty-two crystals" Liu Yang handed a small bag to the maid.

"We thank the esteemed customer for the purchase" The maid bowed and thanked. She purposely pressed her breasts with both delicate arms to make it look bigger for Liu Yang to see.

This is a small thanks to Liu Yang for his generous purchase.

The other maids were jealous and envious of her because she managed to make a good sale and will receive a good commission.

The other customers did not comment on the purchase of Liu Yang because this type of scene is very common.

Without thinking twice, Liu Yang tore the two skill cards. He didn't want anyone to try to steal him.

Both skills have been learned.

"Let's go out" Liu Yang hugged Aruna and Maev. The trio left the skill store and headed for the exit.

The next location that they will be the mining sites.

…

"Garett, are you going to work as a miner?" Maev asked. She was curious about why Liu Yang bought these two skills. Aruna had that same curiosity.

"Yes. But I will not ask for help to have bodyguards. Will you two go with me? We can share the profits. " Liu Yang proposed. He will not ask for bodyguards in the city, the two women can do that.

"Garett, do you want us to be your bodyguards?" Maev didn't understand why he wanted to do this. She had already seen Liu Yang's skills.

"Yes. I need people to look around while I mine the crystals. If there is any problem, I will help you. The profit can be divided into 40, 30, 30" Liu Yang was being very generous to women.
