Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

"Ah...ah?!" The werewolf stared in shock.

"He was dishonest, attempting to defraud and even murder his trading partners. After being exposed, he became enraged and then... I killed him. Your Chamber of Commerce values ​​fair trade and free buying and selling, so I defended its reputation for you. Therefore—"

Yu Man waved his hand, indicating that it was just a piece of cake.

"You're welcome. No need to thank me."

……

124·Fair Merchant

"Killed by you?" The werewolf did not immediately understand the literal meaning of the words when he heard them.

But as he thought about it, he gradually digested this reality.

However, his expression did not change.

Only the slow words coming out of the wolf's fanged and protruding mouth.

"is it?"

Indifferent, seemingly nonchalant tone

"Then you're quite impressive...Stranger."

Yu Man listened to the indifferent tone and immediately became alert.

She could have avoided the matter and deliberately not spoken about it.

But the other party happens to be a high-ranking figure in the "Youshi Chamber of Commerce", so it is better to make things clear now.

To avoid being investigated in the future and becoming disloyal. You know, that day was a gang fight, and the matter was not strict.

Therefore, Yu Man directly accused the Necromancer of dishonest dealings and revealed the truth.

Next - either turn the page or fall out... Either way, Yu Man can accept it.

But unexpectedly, the werewolf's attitude was very strange.

It can even be said that there was no reaction at all.

"What? Do you want revenge or something?" Yu Man asked.

"No, we are businessmen. Businessmen have their own ways. Death is just part of the deal."

He stroked his shiny wolf fur and asked for another glass of wine from the Rust Remover.

He spoke in a slightly tipsy voice, accompanied by fresh and strong wine.

"Although that guy was only Rank Five, he still held the captain's seat and was a prominent figure in our guild, a rare necromancer—and you killed him just like that. Oh, I see. No wonder there's been no news from him—Okay, then, continue your conversation."

"Hmm." The Rust Remover hurriedly took over, but then he slowed his voice and asked Yu Man softly, "What do you want? As the price for the ice branch, I want to pay it off as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will be unable to sleep or eat with such a debt. So, feel free to ask."

Although the topic went around in circles, it finally returned to the direction I wanted.

Yu Man had also prepared the requirements long ago.

"I want the highest-level magician equipment possible, level six or above. I also need magical instruments, and I'm interested in all kinds. Or you can introduce a magic craftsman to me."

She did not hide her desire. Since she knew the value of the ice branch, she had to ask for more.

"Besides that, I also need to hire some laborers who are skilled in magical construction. Preferably elves or fairies, and purchase high-quality building materials..."

To avoid being seen as greedy and to prove one's strength.

Yu Man said this and raised his index finger to signal everyone to be quiet.

In this silent room, where even the sound of drinking has faded away—

Everyone heard a crisp sound.

gold.

"Just introduce me to the seller. I'll pay all the prices myself. And it must be a sufficient amount of gold coins, or the props, mediums, and enchantments refined by the enchanter."

The Rust Remover hesitated, as if he had a question in his mind but didn't know how to ask it.

The werewolf on the side was carefree and spoke for her bluntly.

"These aren't cheap. A piece of rank six finished equipment or jewelry... would cost at least several hundred gold coins. Can you, unworldly strangers, really afford it?"

"Just barely enough. Buy one... two, three... four, five, seven, eight. It's still barely enough."

Yu Man responded casually, as if it was a joke.

The werewolf looked calmly, and together with the "Rust Remover" beside him, they read the seriousness in Yu Man's eyes and how full her purse was.

"Then there's no need to use up the Rust Remover's connections. You're in luck. I'm here to help you find a good deal. I can bring you all the goods you need, and we can even provide them through the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce."

After saying that, the werewolf made a gold coin gesture.

Yu Man nodded and flicked the one she had taken out for display to his desk.

The gold coin collided with the wine glass, and with a dull thud, it became his property.

This means a deposit of sincerity.

"Will it be fair...just? That necromancer is not a good businessman." Yu Man asked.

"Don't worry, I'm the captain of the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce, ranked seventh. I'm a big shot you'd never see in ordinary times. Merchants have their own chips and scales, and we have our own fairness."

Level 7? Just like what I felt, he was indeed a big shot.

Judging from his previous title and the outfit he was wearing, he should be an expert at dual-wielding swords.

The werewolf's subhuman bloodline grants a powerful agility bonus.

Not only that—it offers huge bonuses to health, strength, stamina, and movement quirks. There's even a special state that completely unleashes your bestiality, which, combined with dual-wielding swords, is truly formidable.

As for a businessman like this...well...there shouldn't be any problem.

After Yu Man made his judgment, he turned to the "Rust Remover".

"Meeting this merchant here means you've acted as a go-between for me. Next time I come, I'll definitely be commissioning you to make high-end weapons. Please don't shirk your responsibility then."

"No problem." The Rust Remover nodded, but there was a strange concern in his eyes.

The werewolf finished his drink and slammed the glass on the table.

The gurgling sound of water and rude words came out of his throat at the same time: "If you have nothing else to say, just follow me, stranger. My merchant ship is at the port. Shall we go aboard and discuss in detail?"

"can."

After clapping his hands in delight, the werewolf's expression brightened even more. "I actually have a commodity on my ship. Since you have enough money, you can go and see it directly. Then we can go to the branch of the 'Phantom World Chamber of Commerce' two islands away. There are many things there."

"So close?"

"Of course!" The werewolf said proudly, wiping the saliva and wine that leaked from his mouth with his clothes. "But without the token, you can't find it. After all, we live in the underworld."

"Can this be used as a keepsake?"

Yu Man took out a small magic wand that could create a faint light.

The last time, the necromancer used this thing to contact the informant in the lighthouse.

After seeing this thing, the werewolf's expression changed for the first time: "It seems that you really killed it... Very good, very good. I will also take this token back. Everything has a fair price."

"Okay, let's go."

After waiting on the island for a while to confirm that the Ice Prison Dragon had indeed disappeared and the sea was calm.

Only then did they say goodbye to the Rust Remover.

But before leaving, the craftsman looked at the werewolf meaningfully, then at Yu Man, but didn't say much.

……

The merchant ships in the port are completely different from the necromancer's broken ships, and are indeed worthy of the travel of seventh-level figures.

As he approached, Yu Man felt a strong magical energy mixed in, proving that there was more than just the werewolf. Besides that, there were probably quite a few goods.

"Please." The werewolf was polite and welcomed Yu Man to the deck.

Under its arrangement, some strange sub-human attendants decorated this place into an environment for dinner with important clients.

This surprised Yu Man a little.

"I just drank a lot and didn't eat enough, so I'll eat something delicious on the way to the branch to make the trip less boring." The werewolf did not dress like a gentleman, but was very wild in front of the food.

But he is indeed a qualified businessman.

Even though he was enjoying the meal, he was still very concerned about the transaction.

"If you have no appetite, stranger, this item will make your trip less boring."

The servant brought a crystal box, transparent and clean.

Lying among them was exactly what he had promised, what the merchant ship happened to be carrying.

Lying inside was a glove.

The scarlet color kept flowing, condensing and then dispersing.

They are like the surface of a gas planet, constantly operating according to the laws of the universe.

But it's also like beating ten thousand people into a bloody paste, but leaving only their souls screaming in it.

The magic is strong and extremely evil.

"A unique glove of the seventh order, said to have been crafted by an apprentice of a council member, long ago...at the expense of an entire ancient cult, filled with ominous things."

The werewolf introduced while tearing the meat.

Yu Man wanted to reach out and touch it, but was stopped by him.

"Releasing this stuff will cause the environment to deteriorate. It's time for dinner, please don't ruin my appetite."

He swallowed his food and said this in the gap before tearing off the next piece of meat.

"The price is quite fair, a total of ten thousand gold coins. If you can afford it, it will all be yours, along with the sundry items you mentioned earlier."

"Hmm? Total? Ten thousand?" Yu Man smiled with interest.

The werewolf raised his fingers with sharp nails, first his index finger: "The life of the necromancer, and a shipload of cargo." Meaning the first item of cargo.

Then, he raised his middle finger and revealed the second item: "They stole the ice branches and interrupted our deal with the Rust Remover."

"And the third one?"

The werewolf raised his thumb. "That's all. I'm a trustworthy and fair businessman. I won't lie and ask you to pay anything else. Add this glove and your other requests, and you have the third item."

Therefore, they add up to ten thousand gold coins.

That's what it used to say, the way of the businessman.

The werewolf said this calmly and continued to bury his head in the food.

Yu Man asked excitedly, "If I only want the gloves, how are you going to settle the first two bills?"

"It's simple. Your clothes, earrings, weapons, everything in your bag, and the strange fifth-tier equipment you're wearing, combined, can barely stop the losses. Alas, you strangers will resurrect even if you kill them, and will mysteriously disappear if you imprison them. It's a pity that you can't make them into commercial products..."

Having said this, it waved its hand and the servant came up.

Two fully armed fifth-level servants.

They are the shield warrior and the natural healer.

They still took the goods down respectfully as before, but they exuded a sense of oppression and fighting spirit.

"If you agree to pay—even in installments—we will treat this as a fair and trustworthy friendly transaction, and we may even immediately recognize you as a top-tier, repeat customer."

Before he knew it, everything on the table had fallen into the werewolf's stomach.

After a contented burp, it beckoned its finger, and the servant brought lemon slices and water for the merchant to wipe off the grease.

After thoroughly wiping his hands and mouth with his sleeves, collar, and even the tablecloth, the businessman continued.

"If you don't agree to pay? You've actually made a profit. You'll be able to witness a swordsman like me take action and bury you in the sea."
