Chapter 9 - Market Sales

"Ha... this feels very nice." Chen said, jumping on his bed.

"You're a really lazy person. Why don't you walk around, maybe you can get side quests which will help increase your level and abilities"

"Nah, I prefer staying lazy. It won't do any good to walk around aimlessly."

"Ha..."

"MISSION:..."

"What the hell?!"

"Hehe"

"MISSION: LEARN THE FIST OF FURY. REWARD 200 POINTS. IF YOU DON'T LEARN IT BY NEXT WEEK, YOU'LL PAY WITH YOUR LIFE."

"Fist of fury? What the hell's that?"

"I'll just go out for some time and cool my head." He said before picking up a shirt.

"Come on, discount here!"

"Discount here!!"

*Hmm? What's going on here?*

"It's business in this part. They are running a discount today."

"Hmm, I don't think I need any of these now."

"I forgot to say that you can sell stuff to the system through the market. The stuff you see are things that immortals need. They pay more than what normal mortals pay."

"Whoaa!! Let's see the market." He said excitedly while tapping the screen.

"An aphrodisiac, what's that?"

"Hello, sir." A man said in a hushed tone.

"Eek!! Who are you?"

"Young man, I heard you say the name aphrodisiac. I have some if you need them. Hehe." The man said, rubbing his hands.

"O-okay..." Chen said, walking behind the man.

"Here it is, sir. It works immediately it's used."

"How much do you sell it?" He asked looking at the letters inscribed on the bottle.

"1000 yuan."

"1000 yuan?!"

*Sounds like a lot of money.*

"O-okay, since we're running a discount, how about 30% off. I'll sell it for 700 yuan."

"Deal!" Chen said, grabbing the man's outstretched hands for a handshake.

"Urgh..." A girl said carrying some fruits in a basket.

"Oh, Xia ... what are you doing here?" The man asked.

"Hmph!" She said, looking at Chen irritated.

*He looks my age or a little older and he's already ...*

"Who's that?"

"That's my girl."

"Whoa, talk about different appearance."

"Huh?"

"Nothing."

"We also have c*****s."

"I'll come back if I need them."

"Okay, come again!!"

"HA... only if you knew what those are."

"Hmm?"

"Nothing. Now just scan it on the screen."

"Like this?" He asked, holding it against the screen.

"Yes."

"Whoa, its gone."

"NOTICE: THE HOST HAS SOLD AN ITEM TO THE MARKET. PAYMENT SUCCESSFUL; 1 MILLION YUAN. GETTING READY TO GIVE HOST THE CARD."

"1 freaking million. I bought it for only 700."

"Well, the immortals don't have stuff like that in their world. It's only natural they'll pay more."

"I don't get but I'm rich now!!" He said jumping around.

*I'll go buy more stuff and sell.*

"NOTICE: SELLING IN THE MARKET ENDS. COME AGAIN TOMORROW. MARKET UPGRADED TO LEVEL 2"

"Maybe when you upgrade it you can sell for a longer time."

"NANDE?!!"

"I'll be your invigilator for todays mock test. I hope you all will work with me." The female teacher said, smiling at her students.

"Oh my God, it's Yu."

"It's Miss. Ma Yu for you." She said, hitting a book on the students head.

*I wonder what I can do with those 1 Million yuan. Probably buy some new clothes.*

"Hey! Lin Chen! The teacher is in class!" Jun shouted.

*I'm not scared of you bastard. I've called Tiger from Class 3-F. He said he'll deal with you. Haha, you'll be disgraced today.*

*Wait, would that be enough to buy a new house?*

*He's ignoring me. Dammit!!*

"Yawn... what's it?" He asked as the teacher stood before him.

"You were sleeping, any problem?" She asked.

*Hey hey, your showing me boobs!!* he thought.

"W-well... I'm done with the test so I decided to have a rest." He said looking away.

"Are you sure about that? You can submit if you want to."

"Oh, yeah. Thanks ma'am." He said giving her his paper and walking out.

*Just as I thought, he'd submit early. I'll call Tiger now.* Ichikawa thought.

"Damn what's this mission, system guy?" Chen asked, walking out of the building.

"It's easy, avoid fighting for 24 hours."

"Huh?! What if I meet some bad guys?"

"Talk your way out then, or accept the beating."

"Well, the reward isn't too small either, 2000 points. I might as well indulge you."

"Hey, you're Lin Chen right?" Someone asked.

*Who are these violent guys?*

"What do you want?"

"Are you Lin Chen?"

"No I'm not, he took a cab." He said.

*Since he left early I thought he'd be Lin Chen."

"Okay, get the hell out."

"Yeah yeah." Chen said, raising his hands in defeat.

"HAHA, you really fooled them."

"Haha, I'm actually Lin Xin." He said laughing.

"NO, it's actually not funny. They'll come for you next time get ready."

"I know, I know. But thank Goodness i didn't act too rude. I would have been beaten to death."

"I need an aphrodisiac."

"Oh, Young man. You came again." The man said smiling.

"Haha, I think I'll be taking a dozen."

"A-a dozen?!!"

*Yeah, maybe I'll get a discount again. Hehe.*

"Ugh... you again."

"Hello, Xia" He said smiling at her.

"Urgh. Why are you using my given name?"

"Haha."

"Here. I'll give you a discount. You can pay 10000 yuan." The man said rubbing his hands and smiling.

"Thanks alot." He said, grabbing the bag and running off.

*Hehe. Another discount.*

"SOLD 5 APHRODISIAC TO THE MARKET. 5 MILLION YUAN GOTTEN. TRANSFERED INTO THE CARD."

"Nice!!" He shouted smiling sheepishly.

"You are quite lucky."

"Hell yeah!!"
