Ma Lu picked up his phone, ready to call Yan Wu to inquire about the prices of the remaining materials, only to find that the hardware store owner had already contacted him first.
"Hey, kid, I've already negotiated a deal on your behalf—41,000, no more discounts possible. Besides, a 70% deposit is required upfront. As soon as the money is transferred, they will immediately arrange the shipment. Don't worry about trustworthiness; I've been doing business with this partner for many years."
"..."
Listening to the silence on the other end of the line, the Werewolf Boss immediately guessed what was happening, "What's the matter, not enough money?"
"Do I really need that much Star Currency just to add an equipment slot?" Ma Lu said innocently.
"So, how much were you planning to spend?"
"Well... about 10,000," Ma Lu said. "All the Star Currency I have barely totals up to just over 10,000. I don't have any more than that."
