Chapter 9 - Bargaining

After finishing his breakfast Athan decided to go shopping in the new world he had arrived. It had been two days sense he had arrived here but he hadn't seen the way civilizations worked in this world. Judging from the things he had seen he could tell that the civilization in his current world was bit same as medieval periods in earth only a little more advanced.

While heading out of the mansion gates he was stopped by the shout of a person calling him. When he looked back he could see Alina running toward him.

Alina: Wait sir Athan.

Athan: Is there something wrong Alina?

Alina: No there is no problem I was only going to ask you where you were going? If you are going out I was going to ask if I could accompany you.

Athan: I was about to go shopping, if you want to follow me I don't really mind.

Alina: Than I will come with you, sense you are new to the city I might be able to show you around.

Athan: Sure lets go.

Athan was glad that someone was there to show him around, even if he did had universal map he would much rather prefer to go with someone else than go alone. Not only that he gets to be with a girl, he remembered his last time hanging out with the girl was in his collage.

After they had left the mansion they travelled in a wagon heading to the shopping district. While inside the wagon Athan and Alina talked about their past. Alina mostly talked about how she had fun playing with princess and Lina in her child hood. While Athan talked about how his life was enjoyable while living with his parents. Alina also said how Lina stopped her when she heard she had to be with him.

While talking Athan noticed that Alina was quite a bit friendly than she was in the morning. Which he asked her sense he had only seen nobles and there servants talk in formalities. To which Alina replied to him saying she say him how frustrated he got in the morning talking with Sebastian and she knew he was not from the noble family so she decided to act friendly.

Well Athan new he wouldn't easily get frustrated talking to someone sense while he had worked in KFC he had to meet with different kind of people with different kind of attitude. Some were nice while some were jack complete asshole. But he couldn't take it today because he had to act first thing in the morning.

Arriving in the shopping district he could see different kinds of shops. There were different variety of items and goods being sold. Most common thing he could see were fruits and vegetable of kinds he had. Ever seen in his past life.

After getting out from the wagon Athan and Alina went to the shop to the shop which he could tell was selling monster materials doing both indoor and outdoor selling of goods. Going inside the shop he was greeted a man in his 40's with a muscular build.

Shopkeeper: oh welcome young master of a noble family how may I help you.

Athan: I am not from a noble family. I was only wandering if buy materials.

Shopkeeper: Materials, yes we do buy them but only specific ones.

Athan: If that's the case do you buy materials from mountain tiger.

Shopkeeper: Mointain tiger you mean the ones from Mt. alzura. I haven't seen one of those in ages if you can sell it than I will be glad to buy it in a reasonable price.

Athan: Very well than how much will you pay?

Shopkeeper: We will talk about price when you bring the goods.

Athan was about to take the tiger out of storage but was stoped by the system.

[Host please reconsider before taking action.]

Athan: 'Huh, what do you mean.'

[I meant you should not just take out the tiger from inventory in public sense it might reveal the existence of the system.]

Athan: 'Yeah you are right I can't just take a giant tiger out of nowhere or should I take it out from the pocket like that animation that I used to watch as a kid, what was its name again it was something called Doraemon or something.

[If the host is talking about inter dimensional storage why don't host buy a fake one and pretend to use it to take the tiger out.]

Athan: If you can sell me one in a cheap price than sure.

[Buying a fake storage ring for 2 PP]

[Host can directly equip it in his fiver if he wants.]

Athan: Good equip it and system I am only spending my points how do I earn them except for doing missions.

[Host can earn the points by killing other life forms which is the most common way to earn points among us systems or host can sell anything non living with energy.]

Shopkeeper: Hey kid are you alright?!

Athan was surprised hearing the shout he always forget he looks like he is thinking really hard or dozing off when he is talking with system in his mind.

Athan: Hey you don't need to shout I am fine.

Shopkeeper: Good I thought I lost you there for a second.

Athan: What do you mean you lost me there for a second?!

Shopkeeper: Nothing I was just talking to myself you know.

He said while giving a smile to which Athan knew that this old man in front of him had just thought something bad about him.

Shopkeeper: Well anyways do you have the stuff I need?

Athan: Please wait a second I will take it out.

He said and took out the the mountain tiger he had stored in the inventory.

Shopkeeper: What the... do you have a storage item.

Athan: Yeah I sure do, do you have any problem?

Shopkeeper: No not really I was just asking.

He said while examining the the corpse of the tiger. After a while he finally spoke.

Shopkeeper: I am ready to pay 1 big gold coin for it.

[Its worth 3 big gold coins and also he said it was rare meaning he will at least be able to sell the stuff for 5 or 6 big gold coin, host is suggested to do a bargain.]

Athan: Hey old man do I look like a fool to you, 5 gold coins.

Shopkeeper: No way, 1 gold coins and 5 big silver.

Athan: Still 5 gold.

Athan: Alina there should be another shop ahead lets go there.

He said while he was acting disappointed.

Shopkeeper: Fine, fine I will give you 3 at most, that the highest I can give.

While he was saying Athan opened the door and was acting like he was about to leave.

Shopkeeper: Wait, wait I will give you 3 gold and 5 no 9 big silver.

Athan: You are really stinky old man, with the rareness of the tiger you at least be able to make 6 or 7 gold coins with that stinky mouth of yours. Fine I will sell it.

Like that he sold the tiger for 3 gold and 9 big silver coins.
