Chapter 233: Transaction (II)
"Patriarch Taka said that these shiny items on the ground were accidentally found by their people when they were collecting food and digging caves. These items are left to us to choose, and the way to trade them is that we give the price of the item first, and then it considers whether it is suitable or not. Gary the Goblin explained to Barrett and the others.
"What if it doesn't fit?" asked William.
"As with all other trades, it's either a markup, a fail, or a tongue-in-cheek effort to 'convince' it, but I guess in the end it might not work. Although the cave people are generally of low intelligence, their patriarch is not a fool. The goblin smiled, and then said in the caveman's tone, "'Hey, don't try to fool me, I've seen the world!' β
"A caveman slave who has seen the world?" said William, pouting, "what more can we say about it." β
"Patriarch Taka does not accept money. Gold, silver, and bronze coins are not required. It only accepts barter, and only food and weapons. Gary continued, "The food is measured by quantity, with the exception of sausages. A sausage of this length can fit such a large pile of food," the goblin gestured with his short hand.
"And the weapon is only a spear or a javelin, because its people can't use anything else. And it obviously doesn't take much skill to line up with a spear and poke forward. β
"What about these carapace weapons of the Black Ant-Man?" William shook the poison spear in his hand, "Do so many spears belong to them?"
"Regarding the ownership of the loot from the previous battle, I have already communicated with the Taka Patriarch in detail. Surely they will go to them what they kill, and what we kill will naturally belong to us. The goblins reassured, "We can trade those poison spears for things on the ground, after all, these weapons are of little use to us." β
"But I want to keep one for myself. William held the poisonous spear in his hand, a little reluctant.
"Whatever you want. Weimar replied dismissively, "Don't be so stupid as to poison yourself." β
He and William and Black went to collect the chitin weapons that he didn't originally intend, while Barrett negotiated with the goblins about the price and distribution of the items on the ground.
Unexpectedly, after inadvertently helping a group of down-and-out cave people, he actually opened a hidden trading location! Barrett touched his chin and couldn't help but think in his heart. Among these items on the ground, there are some valuable goods, and it is likely that some of them have special uses. If you can come here every once in a while, it can be a good way to make huge profits.
It's just that the journey here is really a bit tortuous, you need to pass through several dangerous places that can kill you, and more importantly, the terrain is not very fixed, and the next time you come, it is very likely that you will get lost on the way, or the Taka patriarch will block the passage that brought them here for some reason.
After comparing the danger with the harvest, Barrett felt that the valuable things on the ground were not so easy to earn.
After a long negotiation, Barrett and the others paid the following items and packed everything on the ground.
Almost all the poisonous spears and ant-man corpses (which were useless in the first place), two sausages from Weimar's hometown (which have some spoiled taste, but are barely edible), two large bags of wheat and a large bag of corn (rations for carrots), a steel sword (after the 'Iron Bride' fell ill, Barrett habitually prepared some weapons), six turnips (the usual ingredients, can you still squeeze the juice), a barrel of white beer (the Taka patriarch loves this taste to death, and seems to have plans to change the name of the tribe), Mostly half a sheep (the leg of lamb was eaten in the Grey Dwarf village), a whole steer (hey, there's a space ring, you can use it however you want).
The distribution of these items was also decided during the transaction, and after the transaction, it went into everyone's hands.
Because Barrett paid a lot of money (in fact, except for the steel longsword, which was worth a little as a decent whiteboard), everything else was worth a few dollars, so after everyone picked one item, the rest went to him.
Weimar picked the shiny metal shoulder pads, the material should be some kind of alloy, and the defense looked quite outstanding, and the young man happily wore it as soon as he got it.
William picked the gold ore, which, according to him, would be worth at least fifty gold coins, and would probably be more than a hundred.
Blake picked the agate statue in the shape of a black leopard. The young man, who had a somewhat strange personality, actually said that the leopard statue was calling to him, but Barrett also took the agate statue in his hand and studied it carefully, but he didn't feel the slightest abnormality. Could it be that this thing is still picking people? Or, picking a profession?
Barrett looked at the young man who was constantly staring at the leopard statue, and wondered to himself, isn't this guy also an adventurer by profession? Could it be that he is actually a ranger?
The goblin chose the obsidian bracelet with two golden bells, and he said he liked the sound of the golden bells. Well, everyone's hobbies are different, and that's normal.
After the transaction was completed, the Cave Chief, who was wielding his steel sword incessantly, looked quite happy, and he generously agreed to Barrett and the others' request to open the closed corridor again, and did not charge any additional compensation.
The goblin Gary once again politely refused the insincere offer of the Taka chief, and then the Taka chief ordered about twenty cavemen to follow Barrett and the others to help them open the way.
While a group of cave men were working hard to make holes, Barrett and the others had nothing to do. Everyone was researching the newly acquired items, and Barrett was about to do the same.
He took the gold-plated brass ring in his hand and identified it through the [Mission Log].
γSupreme One Ringγ
[The ring itself was originally in an unknown world.] There, it can only be treated as a useless piece of garbage. People laughed at its insolent name, or put it in storage as some kind of weird collectible, but no one ever wore it on their hands.
The ring was so sad that by chance, it came to this continent. Here, its ridiculous properties suddenly became less rubbish. It serves as a piece of equipment that someone is destined to carry with you as a piece of equipment. γ
