Lin Wu said, "But I am in North Town."
Soy Sauce said, "No problem, we'll soon be entering Left County. Consider these books a deposit, a greeting gift. We offer courtesy before using force; I can give you the books, but if you go back on your word, we'll definitely settle the score with you."
Lin Wu thought for a moment, "You should sell them instead." These items weren't worth being a swindler for.
Soy Sauce sized up Lin Wu, who was unarmed and only had a backpack. So Soy Sauce held out a hand: "25 bullets, one per book."
Lin Wu looked down at Soy Sauce's hand, "25?"
Soy Sauce misunderstood Lin Wu's meaning, nodded, "Yep, not selling for less." He was very clear in his pricing and then looked at Lin Wu provocatively. He stopped just short of saying, 'Scram, don't waste my time.'
After confirming the trade details, Lin Wu reached out and took the tags, completing the trade, and 25 tool books entered his backpack.
