After going through the products displayed, he narrowed it down to a select few that he felt were needed by him, but before locking on the product, there was something he wanted to confirm.
"Mr Rank 4, the products I am selling are not one but many so how is the trade being conducted? can I select an individual item for every product?"
The merchant leader looked at Ram and said,
"You should have gotten individual products for every item you sell but that was only applicable for below Rank 3 category, for Rank 4 I can only provide you one item for all the products so choose well."
The village chief was about to say something, but he was interrupted by the merchant leader.
"Village chief no matter what you say, I can't change that, it can only be 1 product for the combination of all law-embedded items in exchange."
Ram looked at both of them and then started further narrowing the product. He was confused between the Body pill of level 4, which should be of help to him with furthering his cultivation, and a weapon of level 4, as the level 4 weapon was definitely better than the ordinary weapons that he had at secret world, He was planning to leave the village within a day or two and weapon could be of immediate help to him. so he was genuinely confused, After some time.
"Mr. Rank 4, I would like to trade with the level 4 weapon."
After hearing his reply the village chief shook his head, he felt Ram should have chosen something with increasing his own strength rather than relying on outer support like a weapon, but he was not aware of his decision of leaving the village and travel, so this reaction was actually genuine.
"So what weapon do you want?"
"I use a spear, so show me some level 4 spears."
The merchant leader nodded and out of his storage space took out many different spears.
Ram went on picking and weighing the length and weight of the weapon, there were specialized spears for different elementalist cultivators, like fire, water, and air, but since he cultivated all elements he felt using a spear that tilted towards the one element is not the right choice for him.
After some time he locked a spear and picked it up, After handling it for some time and playing with it he really liked it, This spear was blood red in color with a height of 7ft. This spear was flexible and not rigid and while wielding it he could guess that this spear could also bend up to a certain point.
"I like this one, but do you have the same in black color?"
"Do you think we are selling clothes with different color options"
Merchant leader replied while looking at Ram.
"Okay red it is, so what do you think about the grains that I was selling, can I also exchange them for level 4 items."
"Can you hear yourself, you seem to be speaking without thinking."
The merchant leader replied, he seem like he had started to lose his patience.
"For all the grain sacks I can only provide you with level 1 products in exchange and if you feel they are trash you can choose not to trade."
"Okay, I like body pills but level 1 is not good for me."
Ram said while feeling regret he knew he had ticked off the merchant leader and there was no scope for a bargain anymore. he felt it was better to sell the grain sacks for just some money.
"How many grain sacks do you have and what is the quality."the village chief asked before the merchant leader could say anything.
"I have 7 different grains sacks and they are only 30 kg each."
Nothing is less and nothing is more, I manage a village and I know as long as the quality is acceptable we accept all the quantities. If you are willing to sell it to the village, I can offer you a level 2 body pill of the same quality as the mysterious merchants.
Ram heard it and was very much tempted but he remembered the system mentioning that pure quality pills are not available in the general market and using anything that had some hidden side effect was not what Ram would like so he stopped speaking and felt conflicted on how to say it and not offend the village chief as he has been supporting him till now.
Seeing Ram's conflicting expression it was not difficult for the village chief to guess what he was thinking so he added
"There is no pressure if you do not want to sell it to the village, every person has their own choice and we do not interfere with that as for the quality of the body pill, it's actually the pill that I will buy from the mysterious merchant right in front of you."
"yes, I will like to make this deal."
"Not so early Ram, even we need to quality check the product."
Then the village chief knocked on the table in front of him and waited in silence after some time the village chief's room opened and an elder named Anna entered.
"What is it chief, why are you calling me, don't you know I am busy."
Ram looked at an elder and felt wow she had guts, she came without knocking and directly entered the chief's office while questioning him. This could only be done by gutsy people or people who had a loose screw in their head, and it was very easy to guess that being an elder of the village option 2 was out so she was definitely gutsy.
"Anna, meet Ram he has been in the village for a month and he wants to sell some food grains."
"Ram she is Anna an elder of the village and her main work is in food and nutrition supply for the villagers."
the village chief introduced them.
"Anna then turned to Ram and said, Who are you and what do you want."
Now after hearing this Ram brought option 2 back to his thinking. She could also have a screw loose. Chief just said who I am and what I am here for yet she still asked.
"Hello elder, I am Ram, and I have a few food grains that I would like to sell to the village."
"Do you think I can't hear, I already know that. show me the food grains. I will judge whether the food grains are fit enough to be fed to the humans or should be used to kill the enemy with food poisoning.
