Nia searched everywhere in the market, that is, in local chat room and in village square. No one , not even a single person was selling potions. No one had sold it previously through chat room too.
Nia had red hot items. She just had to sell it right.
Nia chose one corner, placed a placard. It was filled with bright red and shocking blue colors. You have to know that the gaming company would find chance to make money at every occasion. Placards, banners were rented. But you you to buy white chalk or colored chalks. Buying meant more money than renting. Unlike Placards and banners, chalks were considered consumables, thus their rates were higher. Thus very few had chosen colors in their placard or banner.
Nia's placard instantly attracted attention. People were pulled in by the colors. Then they were lured in by the contents. 'Last Few Red and Blue Pots.' 'Buy or Barter. Coins definitely less than from shops.'
Soon, she was surrounded, thus here placard was no longer visible to others. Her placard was not placed very high. [No one makes and places placards over 7 feet. So, you were not wrong Nia. Don't worry about placard not being visible. People will come in and join just to see why others have come and what is so special to pull their attention.]
"How many pots do you have?"
"Are you really selling basic red and blue potions?"
"How much is the cost?"
"Is it definitely less costly than in shops?"
"Don't you think that's too costly? Why don't do reduce the rate?"
"What do you want to barter with?"
"Can you sell all your potions to us? We'll pay more."
All became silent. All were wondering which guild the person was from.
"Hahaha! Do you think only 'Valiant Guild' has money? We, from 'Anhilation' are not paupers. Let me tell you, my friend, I will pay 2 copper coins more than this person's bid. Sell me all your potions."
"Hmmph! Pretentious! My friend, don't be frightened by these people's postures. You are ready to barter too, right? How about an UNCOMMON weapon and equipment. If you want something different, let me know. Our guild,'Peach blossoms' has many items in our inventory."
Soon many guilds' people were giving their options. Some even went further. They promised her guaranteed position in the guild and real life salary if she joined the guild. Nia did not even get a chance to open her mouth in front of such posing.
She put out few honeyed buns and asked remaining people, "Want some? Its way more tastier than normal bread. You can share it with your girlfriend. She'll love it."
The surrounding players were shocked. Look, here are few guilds ready to fight just to recruit you. But you look at them like some bystanders and even want to sell something else. Are you even human? Don't you feel emotions?
Finally, a dumb boy couldn't hold himself and asked directly. "Pretty sister, they are talking about you there. Why aren't you paying attention to them but to us and selling some buns on the side?"
"It's not just some buns, they are honeyed buns. They are tasty. You do know that this game is highly developed so we can use our sense too. Just imagine if you can eat and taste the food here, you'll enjoy the taste but there will be no calories. It is the best thing a girl can ask for. If you have a sweetheart, give it to her and her impression of you will definitely increase."
"B..B..But ....them?"
"Hmmm?Oh, I'll sell them potions once they decide among themselves and come to buy from me. They won't be interested in these things. You can buy them without worrying about insulting them."
Oh well, it is evident that you are thick skinned. That, or you are an idiot. If you don't care about yourself, why should we?
In the end, few enamored boys who thought mainly looking good to their pretty ladies decided to bite the bait and bought the buns, oops, sorry, honeyed buns with coins. These boys were true heroes, ready to squander their money for a moment's bliss of their girlfriends. You should know that no one was selling this item and it was way more costly than a normal bread and it could be bought only through coins.
Apparently such transactions behind their backs could not be ignored by esteemed guild people. They universally turned to see Nia happily selling items to others. Their hearts burned, livers ruptured and blood pressure shot up to stratosphere. One of them was apparently trigger friendly, easy to anger; he got notification from gaming console "High alterations in body function noted. If it doesn't reduce within 10 seconds, you will be forcibly withdrawn from the game and health authorities nearby have been notified and will come to your aid within two minutes."
The gaming company was very serious about health issues and complications.
As soon as he read the message, he could feel himself falling into deep abyss. If he couldn't hold himself, his health parameters would keep on increasing, he would be disconnected and hospitalized and he could say goodbye to his career in the guild.
"Lady, we were still discussing here. How could you sell your potions before knowing how much we are ready to pay?" another one asked, unable to hold himself off.
