Seeing that Mary bit her lip slightly and nodded in agreement, Colly closed the door of the store, asked Mary to go to the reception room and wait, and sat down to chat slowly.

Pouring two cups of freshly squeezed cane sugar elf citrus juice, Ke Li walked into the reception room with a wooden writing mat and a pen and paper:

"Miss Mary, I am an extraordinary man and a businessman at the same time."

"Maybe you've probably heard that I like to mark the price clearly, and explain everything clearly, so as not to regret it after the business is finished and waste everyone's time and energy, so let's start with the most basic price negotiation, okay?"

Mary picked up the juice and took a sip: "Okay." ”

Colley nodded, and wrote the first title of the calculation of the price on the paper: "A blank card is not an ordinary commodity, it is a magical item that can make a person extraordinary, so in terms of price, we use the Sequence 18 potion or ritual material as the base unit, agree?" ”

Speaking of potions or ritual materials, Mary immediately wilted a lot, and said with a slight sweat: "I shouldn't be able to afford it at this price, I don't have a stable source of high income, nor do I have enough extraordinary power, even if I become extraordinary, I will live like a passerby......"

No, no, no, in the small theater of "The Anthropologist" that you wrote, directed, and acted in, you are the indisputable protagonist of scientific research action films.

Colley simply said bluntly: "Usually, that's the case. ”

Mary held the juice stiffly: "That...... Can other forms of payment be accepted? For example, special intelligence and the like. ”

Colly lowered her head to write, not wanting to put too much mental pressure on Mary, lest she suddenly have an emotional breakdown, so she prepared in vain:

"Actually, Miss Mary, you don't know your value, as long as you are willing to tap into your potential, you can still afford it."

Mary was a little surprised, but she was not so easy to deceive: "I have inquired here and there in private, the secrets of sequence recipes and potions, and rituals are in the hands of extraordinary organizations in many cases, whether it is the Moonlight Church of the Griffon Empire, the Brave Hunting Church, or the extraordinary organizations of the people, the Lone Ranger can get promotion items is always very limited." ”

"Even if there is a task merit subsidy deduction within the church, the price of the sequence 18 potion is not less than 140 magic stones, if the extraordinary person can't raise money to buy materials by himself, the biggest opportunity is to join the church, but I can't join because the sequence doesn't meet the conditions."

"Not to mention those complicated procedures, which need to go through various processes to approve before they have the right to buy, ordinary people have almost no chance to buy. To put it bluntly, to make things so complicated is to not want the promotion items to fall into the hands of extraordinary people who are not controlled. ”

"Mr. Ke Li, that's it, do you think I really have a way to pay it back?"

Colley nodded: "Yes, you can actually afford it, it just takes some effort." ”

"I've inquired, you're an anthropologist and have a lot of contact with aliens, and Wayne does have a bunch of complaints about you, right? In a way, you're a celebrity in Mammoth Horn. ”

Mary said embarrassed and frustrated, "But I just messed things up, and everyone didn't like me." ”

Colley smiled deeply: "No, no, Miss Mary, you need to understand a concept. ”

"Just like tarot cards, it's not just a positive reputation that exists, but negative attention is just as effective."

"Of course, if you want to use a negative reputation, it will be more dangerous to mess up, so I asked you to talk about it in detail because of this matter."

Mary asked suspiciously, "Can a negative reputation be used to make money?" ”

Instead of answering immediately, Colley threw out another question: "Mary, has your card power changed since you became an extraordinary?" Or can it be continuously enhanced with digestion and mastery? ”

Mary shook her head: "No ......"

"A slash is a slash, a shield is a shield, everything seems to have been designed by the Creator, and their power and protection are just like that, whether it is meditation or learning other knowledge, it cannot improve the effect of the card."

"Only knowledge understanding and proper practice can bring auxiliary effects, which can increase the speed of card drawing, card selection, card play, and shuffling, and you can play 1~2 more cards in one breath, but I still don't have a clue about the extraordinary characteristics themselves."

Colly bowed his head and wrote: "That's right, I've been doing a lot of business here lately, and I'm planning to launch a series of Enchanted Gem card sets, and I need someone from the Tower Path to help me adjust the strength of the card sleeves, so that I can justify these items at auction." ”

"Just like gems on weapons, I think enchanted gems work on cards as well, it just takes a bit of thought."

Mary was a little surprised: "Really? But the weight of the card can actually have a big impact on the feel. ”

"If there's a demand, there's a market, and we can find a way to keep the weight within the affordable range, or simply customize it," Ke Li said. ”

"With the constitution of most extraordinaires, while some people will be reluctant to throw an iron ingot, the card's weight should be perfectly fine. After all, you can't play cards indefinitely, but you can increase the strength of a single card, and it will also increase the overall efficiency. ”

Ke Li continued to induce: "Although your reputation is not very good, the attention is still there, as an extraordinary person who is riddled with strange stories, many people of different races will pay attention to your movements. ”

"In other words, your propaganda skills must be better than others, which is a bit embarrassing to say, but you can use it."

"After all, if you want to apologize and compensate others, explain misunderstandings or take the initiative to recruit people, you inevitably need money, right?"

Mary didn't squeak and seemed to be caught up in a struggle and consideration.

As long as Corrie ensures the success rate of fishing, he can use low-cost means to pass the news to the extraordinaries of the Tower Pathway.

However, considering the sake of recycling, Keli is still willing to spend more time thinking about countermeasures, hoping to develop long-term customers.

It would be too disjointed to have one-time consumables like the remnants of Bob, Irowd, and Arromige.

Mary struggled in silence for a long time, and finally made a decision: "I accept it, but what should I do?" ”

Colley drew a blank card, and for a moment he felt Mary's mood and thoughts fluctuate.

Colley: "What would you do if I wanted to use this blank card as a co-op resource and pay you in advance in advance?" ”

Mary seemed to break free from her pessimism, and her expression appeared with a kind of reverie of "how to spend the big and medium lottery tickets":

"I don't know how to approach some people, a lot of the time I use the Anthropologist card quietly, but it's always uncontrollably self-defeating, if I can, I hope I can get a second chance to talk, I'll draw a second Anthropologist card on a blank card!"

Colly almost didn't squirt out: Mary, you are a card builder, you can't talk about the play, you have to digest it in your head!

Obviously, there is only one anthropologist in the starting hand.,The deck is very clean.,Your strike defense plus two anthropologists.,What kind of shit card is this.,Sequence 18 is directly salted fish open? Completely ignoring combat effectiveness or other special uses?

Ke Li was a little nervous behind his back, but on the surface he still analyzed rationally: "Really? If you don't think about other uses, such as translators and the like, if you can acquire extraordinary abilities in this area, you can not only assist anthropologists, but you can also do more work. ”

For example, helping to translate dangerous spells and the like, the characteristics of the job will immediately bring high income.

Even Colley can package something that can't be done to Mary and let her decipher the secrets inside.

But Mary held the juice and had no thought of it: "Huh? Isn't it possible to learn the knowledge of translation slowly, and the part that can be done with hard work and study, I don't think there is any need to use precious and extraordinary promotion items, right? ”

"And I drew an anthropologist once, and it was successful the first time, and I was very confident in the second time."

Colley was a little embarrassed, but he felt a rare sense of momentum and firmness from Mary's words, and he didn't say much.

Decide extraordinary characteristics for others, in case the characteristics are incompatible and inappropriate, and directly lose control and become a monster, then Ke Li will be busy in vain.

Ke Li inhaled without a trace, slightly relieving the tightness and stiffness in his chest: "Okay, you can do it if you have an idea." ”

"Then talking about the price, as part of the credit for business cooperation, I am willing to deduct these incalculable parts into magic stones, you only owe me 100 magic stones, what do you think?"

Mary was taken aback, although she thought it was still very expensive, but she also felt that the cheeky price of 60 magic stones and the like couldn't be opened at all.

After all, he was also present at the beginning, and people relied on their ability to solve the runaway items and get them, what qualifications do they have to snatch the credit and loot?

Mary, blushing and hot, said hesitantly, "Thank you, but I still don't know when I'll be able to pay back the money." ”

Ke Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Then, first cooperate with me to do a wave of card strength tests, and then the gem card sleeve promotion at the auction, to clearly convey the core selling point of the 'card sleeve enhancement card', and I will give you the blank card after the matter is completed." ”

"The criterion for this is to lure the Tower Path Extraordinary to Mammoth's Horn and buy any number of gem holders, how about it?"

Mary covered her mouth in surprise: "Really? Is that all?! ”

Ke Li: "Of course, as an extraordinary person in the Tower Pathway, your sales effect must be stronger than anyone else's, you need to take the initiative to contact the extraordinary person in the Tower Pathway, and I will contact you through cards or other means as a test of psychological price." ”

"Just like the packaging of a gift box, the mediocre holly and mistletoe will also look very valuable, you need to try to package the access channel as mysterious as possible, and part of the price of gemstone products comes from publicity and packaging, you can't forget that."

Mary couldn't contain her excitement and said, "If that's the case, I can do it on my own!" ”

Only then did Colley smile with satisfaction, he successfully found a relatively safe angle, and directly used Mary to test the people in the Tower's path.

At first, everyone was not familiar with each other, but after a few entrusted tasks, the superficial relationship between each other can also be discussed.

"Mr. Colly is really business-minded, I can't learn to properly please others without causing disgust."

Colley: "Isn't that normal?" ”

Mary: "Really? I actually got the charm of the succubus admitted! ”

Ke Li deliberately blackened his face: "It's endless, this joke is not funny!" ”

Just when Mary was at a loss, it was only after a few seconds that Colley chuckled and changed her face: "I'm pretending, I won't tease you." ”

"Jokes about the sequence, I still hope to open less, lest some people with abnormal brains believe it to be true and push the trouble on me, you know that the reputation of the demon sequence is not very good, and there is always some bad news, and I will be very annoyed to hear it."

Mary was very weak-hearted, it turned out that Mr. Colley didn't want to be an unpopular figure in Mammoth Horn, and was invited by Mr. Wayne to listen to the complaint, and her mentality was suddenly taken into account: "I see, I won't say it anymore, I'm sorry I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere......"

With the right amount of guilt, the right partnership, and the right deal in favor, Mary gradually became the brain circuit that Colley wanted.

Ke Li was tolerant and relieved: "It's okay, the matter has passed, and the ability of the extraordinary to withstand pressure is not so fragile." ”

"When we have free time, we need to test the strength of the cards. At that time, I may entrust Mr. Flanders and Mr. Enzo to come with you, so if you have time, you can also talk to them first, make an appointment, and don't worry about the remuneration, I will pay separately. ”

The conversation in the reception room gradually ended, and before leaving, Mary thought, "When Mr. Cooley said private contact, is he referring to Mr. Wayne's way of communicating using cards?" ”

Ke Li nodded: "Yes, you can also ask first, what is the price and conditions of customizing this kind of private exchange card." ”

"We are just one-on-one business cooperation, and there is no need for such an expensive way of communication after the cooperation is over, so the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, otherwise the intention of the packaging will be recognized, and the price of gemstone products will drop a lot."

"And gemstones, once they are processed and formed, no one needs them, and then they are not easy to sell, you know what I mean, right?"

Mary clenched her fists firmly: "Okay, I will not live up to expectations." ”

"Goodbye, Mr. Colley!"

After Mary left, Colley lifted the wall of inspiration and sorted out what she wanted to do in the future.

Both the Tower Path and the Ancient Ones Organization are quite adept, and it's hard to say what the intentions behind them are.

"I always feel like things are going a little too well, whether it's the blank cards and the exposure of the Ancients, or the selection of people like Mary......"

Although the higher the sequence, the less you need to worry, Ke Li still doesn't have a big increase in combat power in the sequence, so you have to be cautious.

"Looking back on these things overall, it's very likely that the mysterious people who dealt the cards to Mary and Ilaud were not the same kind of people."

"One card is the inverse fool and the transformation in hope, and the other card is the anthropologist who draws his own profession......"

"With a few more data samples, we can speculate who is the majority of the people who are being co-opted and who is the few who have special ideas."

"The interior of the Tower Path shouldn't be monolithic, maybe they have some differences of interest?"

Ke Li extinguished the lantern in the reception room, returned to the room and unfolded the Wall of Inspiration, and it was time to go to the secret realm to level up quietly.
