I wonder if some big shot caused trouble at this store before. Judging by the boss's expression, did she mistake me for that person's sister? This deal is done!
"Actually, I'm here to sell things on behalf of my brother this time and to buy him a combat suit as a gift!"
Upon hearing this, the boss seemed to hear her own inner lament. She awkwardly replied, "Is that so? I'm sure your brother will be very happy."
"Oh, by the way, where should I put the stuff?"
"Back... in the back." The boss pointed to a narrow corridor, just noticing that I was carrying a leather bag.
I followed her directions, and suddenly, my footsteps halted. I saw something very surprising: a ten-cubic-meter spatial bracelet.
The price below it was... 500,000 union credits.
I walked away calmly. It turns out that this world also has spatial storage; that's great! Now I don't have to worry about my special ability being exposed.
"Just leave it here." The boss reclined on a chair and called out to her assistant, "Hurry up and get the goods, you fool."
The assistant came out from the other side with a smirk.
"First, there's this bag." I put down the leather bag, which naturally contained several pieces of iron lizard skin.
"Then... these!" I placed all the materials from my space at once, grinning. "My brother's strength has improved a lot recently! He said his material disassembly skills have become much more refined."
Seeing the materials that nearly covered the entire floor of the temporary warehouse, both the boss and her assistant were stunned.
"His strength... has improved a lot?" The boss swallowed nervously.
"Yes! He said it's like he directly broke through a level!" I continued to intimidate them, not caring whether they could handle it psychologically.
"Oh, by the way, could you hurry up? My brother is still waiting for me!"
The boss's heart sank again. She thought she was dealing with a little lamb, but it turned out there was a big bad wolf lurking behind. This big bad wolf was even eyeing the goods.
She kept her words to herself, not daring to reveal her true feelings. She could only watch as her assistant painstakingly counted the materials.
"Well... it's all counted." The assistant trembled and said, "All the materials are undamaged, totaling 720,000..."
Calculating such a high price, the assistant felt like he was heading for certain doom, fearing that the boss would skin him alive next.
"Huh? Is it this little?" I asked in puzzlement, tilting my head. "My brother said it should be more, right?"
"Oh, my dear lady, we've already given your brother a high price!" Upon hearing this, the boss immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. She crawled to my feet, "Please spare our lives, dear lady!"
I touched the back of my head, originally planning to continue deceiving them. But I didn't expect such a strong reaction from them, even causing someone to vomit blood. It seemed there was nothing more to gain.
"Um, that's fine then." I smiled awkwardly and pretended to be shy. "Please issue a new anonymous transaction card."
An anonymous transaction card was one of the trading rules between mercenaries and the black market. The card had a unique number, but the password was widely known. The black market often received some goods of uncertain origin. If the amount was too large, it could easily be traced, but with an anonymous card, there would be no such worries.
"Sure..." The boss, with vacant eyes, stood up and went into the back room. After a while, she came out with a transaction card engraved with several major union names and a series of numeric imprints along with a magnetic strip. It seemed not much different from a bank card.
"It's all in here, 720,000..." The boss held the transaction card in her hand.
A reluctant look on her face.
"My brother is still waiting for me. Please let go!" Saying so, Chu Tian, the boss couldn't do anything and could only watch as Chu Tian took the transaction card and left, leaving only a fleeting figure.
Throwing the transaction card into my space, I exited the store and headed back the way I came. Before I had taken a few steps, I saw someone in a classic outfit entering the store.
This person was completely covered in a black robe and hood, along with black boots. They looked as if they had rolled back and forth in a coal pit.
Despite the strong smell of blood on this person, they were probably not someone to mess with. I pretended to be startled and quickly ran away from this person, making my escape.
The person in the black robe glanced strangely at the girl from an unknown family but didn't think much of it. They entered the store.
"Boss, selling stuff. Same as usual," the hoarse voice of the person in the black robe called out.
After a while, the boss came out, and to the person in the black robe's surprise, she walked out trembling, looking extremely terrified. "I didn't extort her!"
"What are you talking about?" The person in the black robe asked strangely. "When did I tell you I have a sister?"
"What?!!" The boss was shocked. "You don't have a sister?"
"Nonsense." The person in the black robe impatiently said, "Hurry up and count. I'm busy, don't waste my time."
The boss rolled her eyes and staggered. The assistant, who had just come out of the back room, hurriedly supported her, still muttering to himself.
"What...? What are you saying?" The assistant, not understanding, brought his ear closer to the boss's mouth. He heard the boss's tearful words, "We've been deceived... We've been deceived..."
"What? What do you mean we've been deceived?" The assistant asked in confusion. But when he looked up and saw the person in the black robe, he suddenly understood everything. It seemed they had been tricked by Chu Tian earlier, but they were helpless, as Chu Tian had disguised himself.
...
Chu Tian, now back in his normal attire, was walking in the bustling city. In a very cheerful mood, he was humming a tune while selecting the items he needed.
This compressed dried food... let's get a hundred packs for now. This barrel of purified water... get a hundred barrels. This tent...
Chu Tian, who had suddenly become rich, was buying his essential items generously. Anything he thought he might need, he would buy a hundred of them without hesitation.
After all, he had a hundred cubic meters of space and over three million in cash. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't buy firearms here, he would even consider buying a couple of guns for self-defense.
After this major shopping spree, he had a little over three hundred thousand cash left.
At that moment, he suddenly saw a cellphone store. He remembered that his cellphone had been broken by a savage beast, and he happened to have over three hundred thousand in cash. He also thought about his parents...
Chu Tian thought strangely to himself, why was he making so many excuses? Helping his parents was a perfectly natural thing to do, right?
So Chu Tian walked into the cellphone store, bought a phone and a SIM card, linked it to the transaction card, and transferred 320,000 to his parents' account. Then he sent a message to his parents: "I'm fine, no need to worry."
