Chapter 9: Windfall
After some careful searching, Sato Kaede finally found the iron net he needed at the edge of a stall, and after seeing other things on the stall, it seemed that he had discovered a new continent, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Compared to other stalls with a variety of pokemon props and pokemon for sale, the things on this stall are more shabby, and the things on the stall are all kinds of second-hand training props that have been eliminated.
For example, dumbbells of various sizes and weight-bearing sandbags to exercise the strength of the elves' limbs, frisbees to exercise the coordination of the elves' bodies, and weight-bearing vests to exercise the elves' physique.
Judging from the dilapidation of these second-hand training tools, they have been used for a relatively long time, and there are many scratches on the surface, and the color on them is also very faded.
However, judging from the overall structure, these second-hand training props are still quite intact, and there are no serious cracks, as long as you are careful, there is no problem in using them for a month or two.
"Senior, hello, how do you sell this iron net and these training props?" After seeing something that suited him very well, Sato Kaede also stepped forward for the first time, and then asked the price very politely.
The person selling these props is a burly and strong man, with a standard Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a pair of eyes that are also squinted, and the whole person's appearance looks quite honest.
The burly man is currently the lowest-level soldier, and at this time he is sitting cross-legged on the ground, and he also has a hint of joy on his honest face after seeing the new recruit Sato Kaede leaning towards him.
"It's really rare, you are a recruit who dared to come to this place alone on the first day, you have a good eye, these are not very good elf training props, although it looks a little broken, but at least it can be used for a year and a half, I don't frame you, that iron net along with a set of training props will sell you 200 points." Hearing Sato Kaede's polite inquiry, Dahan also showed a simple smile and said with a smile.
However, after hearing the big man say that he would spend 200 points to buy a special network and a set of training tools, Sato Kaede's face became a little dissatisfied.
For this simple set of training props on Dahan's booth, Sato Kaede has also seen it from the points exchange system, and the original price is only 300 points, and according to the depreciation rate of Dahan's current set of training props, it is at least more than 80%.
As for the iron net, the exchange price in the points exchange system is 20 points, and from the perspective of its depreciation rate, it is also about 20%.
Therefore, what the other party said is simply nonsense, in Sato Kaede's opinion, this iron net is worth a maximum of 86 points along with a set of training props, and if it is calculated according to second-hand goods, it will be at least a six-fold discount, that is, about 50 points.
"The seniors laughed, you must have forgotten to give me a discount, how about a two-fold discount? If not, I'll raise the price a little bit and buy these two things for 50 points. Sato Kaede said to the smiling man with a flat face.
At this moment, after hearing Sato Kaede's words, the honest smile on the burly man's face disappeared in an instant, and a pair of tiger eyes opened, and he looked at Sato Kaede's whole person from beginning to end with interest, as if he wanted to completely remember the appearance and details of his whole person.
When the big man opened his eyes, a terrifying aura that chose people to devour suddenly emanated from his body, and directly acted on Sato Kaede's body.
Suddenly, Sato Kaede felt that the person he was facing was not alone, and a tiger that was cornering him, a layer of fine cold sweat suddenly covered his yellow-skinned face, his face became a little pale, and his body trembled involuntarily.
However, even in the face of such a strong oppression by the big man, Sato Kaede still maintained a calm in his eyes, he had already died once, and he no longer had any concerns, death was not terrible to him, how could a person who was not even afraid of death be afraid of a beast?
"What exactly is this person going through? Isn't he afraid? It's a nuisance. Dahan was originally proud of Sato Kaede's fearful behavior, but when he saw Sato Kaede's eyes, the pride and arrogance in his heart suddenly disappeared, and a sense of danger also lingered in his heart.
In fact, Kaede Sato wasn't the first person to think of coming to the public market, as there were already 12 people who had been here before him.
But 5 of them were scared away by the terrifying atmosphere here as soon as they entered, and the remaining 7 people were as discerning as Sato Kaede, and found the second-hand training props here in Dahan, and stepped forward to ask for the price.
And Dahan's answer was exactly the same as what he said to Sato Kaede before, but it was obviously not easy for someone to think of coming to the public market to buy treasures and stay on the first day, so he said something similar to Sato Kaede without surprise.
Subsequently, it was time for Dahan's performance, just like just now, directly relying on his own momentum to strongly suppress these disobedient newcomers.
In the end, the 7 newcomers who had never seen blood were naturally subdued by the murderous momentum of the big man, and were forced to obediently spend 200 points to buy a set of second-hand elf props on the big han's stall, and then fled from the public market in disgrace.
The big man's name is Baron, 23 years old this year, a trainer specializing in fighting elves, he has been in Team Rocket for 3 years, and he has participated in actions and battles from 100 to 90.
In fact, Baron had the strength to be promoted to squad leader or even squadron leader very early, but he didn't like to be a leader very much and refused to be promoted.
In addition, he is also very arrogant in doing things, relying on his strong strength, and he is also very arrogant and unsociable, so it is easy to offend people, so that he is still a team rocket soldier.
Recently, due to Baron's gambling losses, his money was a little tight, and he remembered that this time was the time for the fat sheep to enlist in the army, so he took the opportunity to make a little extra money, and these shabby elf training props on the stall were the bait he used to attract those fat sheep who seemed to be smart to him.
After practice has proved that Baron's trick is still very effective, relying on the forced sale of the trader, deducting the cost of each set of training props he bought at a tattered price of 10 points, he has earned 1330 points, through the slaughter of new people, this point is not too easy.
But as the saying goes, you can't get your shoes wet when you stand by the river, until he meets the fearless man Sato Kaede today, and his forced sale finally encounters Waterloo.
According to the internal rules of Team Rocket, unless the members betray each other, they are absolutely not allowed to attack each other, and if they violate the rules, they will all be dealt with as betrayal of the organization.
Baron's use of intimidation to sell is naturally not a violation, and now that the intimidation method has failed, it is natural that Sato Kaede has no choice but to do it.
The most important thing is that Sato Kaede's fearless eyes caused a crisis in Baron's heart, Baron is usually so arrogant and lives so freely, in addition to his extraordinary strength, he also has his excellent eyesight, he knows which people can be offended and who can't be offended.
For those newcomers who are intimidated by his momentum, Baron is naturally disdainful in his heart, and he is not afraid of the revenge of these wretched people in the future, but Sato Kaede is obviously different, with his eyesight, it is not difficult to see that people like Sato Kaede are difficult to die, as long as he is given a little time, he will definitely be an excellent trainer in the future.
Baron put himself in a little bit of his shoes and asked himself if he could have done this at such a young age. And the answer is that when I was fifteen years old, I was still being manipulated on the construction site, living like a dog.
In the end, Baron concluded that it was unwise to offend Kaede Sato for a mere 200 points, and he had to get acquainted as soon as possible.
"That's right, boy, what's your name, my name is Baron, make a friend, this iron net and this set of training props will be given to you as a meeting gift." It's not too late to make amends, Balon naturally knows this truth, and immediately retracted the momentum on his body, and said to Sato Kaede with a simple expression again.
After Baron retracted the terrifying momentum of choosing people to devour, Sato Kaede suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his body stopped trembling, and then after seeing the other party's attitude suddenly change 180 degrees, there was also a hint of surprise in his eyes.
However, Sato Kaede is very witty, and after a little empathy, he can roughly understand what the other party is thinking, and the surprise in his eyes disappears in an instant.
"Thank you so much, these things are of great use to me, my name is Sato Kaede, I'm glad to meet you, senior Baron, and I will ask you for more advice in the future." After knowing the other party's thoughts, Sato Kaede also pushed the boat down the river, and immediately replied very well.
In the end, after a relatively pleasant conversation with Baron, Kaede Sato not only pocketed the iron net and second-hand training equipment without spending a penny, but also got some very important information.
