No. 14 looked at Zhang Mu with a complicated expression and said, “If you really are the first-in-line, then it makes sense because you have been involved in many big events.”
Zhang Mu looked at the woman Era Merchant across from him, Era Merchant, feeling confused, he asked directly, “Isn’t Era Merchant supposed to only care about Era City? Why did something happen to me in Suzhou City?”
No. 14 glanced at Zhang Mu’s Era Merchant Ring and said slowly, “If it’s about human matters, I would only know about Era City, but what happened to you, didn’t happen among humans.”
Zhang Mu seemed to have a guess and asked tentatively, “Because of the Era Merchant in Hohhot City?”
No. 14 nodded slightly and said to Zhang Mu, “Your Era Merchant Ring broke, which angered No. 37 greatly, but because of the bonds of Era Store, he couldn’t leave.
But later on, somehow, No. 37 found out the whole truth, exposed the cheating incident in Hohhot City to Era Caravan, he personally brought back that person to Era Caravan, and Hohhot City’s Era Store was also erased because of this.”
Although No. 14’s tone was calm, Zhang Mu was trembling with fear as he could vividly imagine the scene, it sounded so thrilling.
“Did No. 37 do it for me?”
Hearing Zhang Mu’s words, No. 14 shook his head, then nodded, and continued, “You might not know how serious that person’s actions were in Era Caravan, he seriously violated an Era Merchant’s principle and crossed the caravan’s bottom line. Unless under special circumstances, we cannot go after Era Sub-merchants, directly or indirectly, especially when it’s for their own benefit.”
Because he had a grudge against No. 37 and wanted to keep him down, he suppressed him in the performance evaluation in the most critical first quarter.
That’s the main reason. But personally, I feel that No. 37 thought you were dead, which had a big impact on his actions. Otherwise, it would have been fine to replace Era Merchant, but he insisted on taking back all the Era Stores there.”
Zhang Mu felt like he was hearing something unbelievable, is No. 37 really that strong?
Seeing Zhang Mu’s confusion, No. 14 chuckled and said, “No. 37 is very strong. He was the strongest among that group at Era Caravan before. So he faced a lot of exclusion. After he did that thing, many people joined in to suppress him.”
Sensing that she may have said too much this time, No. 14 suddenly fell silent and looked much friendlier at Zhang Mu.
“Looking at you like this, No. 14, you probably didn’t join in with others to suppress No. 37, am I right?”
Zhang Mu looked at No. 14 and asked. Before, she mentioned the Law of Life that No. 37 did not complete.
“Of course not. But I don’t know No. 37 well either. I’ll be honest with you, I shared so much with you this time because I want you to say some good words for me in front of No. 37. It’s like making a connection with you.”
Zhang Mu looked at No. 14 strangely and asked, “Do you Era Merchants also form factions among yourselves?”
Number 14 covered his mouth and giggled, “I wouldn’t try to please an ordinary Era Merchant, but it’s different for your boss, Number 37. After the incident in Hohhot City was exposed, his performance dropped to zero. To reward Number 37, the caravan directly attributed his achievements to Number 37.
The most important thing is that the other Era Merchant has been dealt with, and Number 37 has been appointed as the head of three nearby experimental sites. So, I have to flatter him.”
“But I don’t usually have the chance. It’s lucky that you approached me. At least we can establish a good relationship.”
Head of three nearby experimental sites?
Wow, is Number 37 so amazing? Isn’t he now in a very advantageous position?
Zhang Mu is confused. Becoming the head, Number 37 must have the most resources among all Era Merchants.
“What does it mean that the Era Merchant from Hohhot City was dealt with?”
Zhang Mu’s sudden question made Number 14’s expression change. He brushed it off with a sentence, and Zhang Mu had no choice but to suppress his doubts.
“Alright then, when we reach Luo Yang City, I will mention you to Number 37. I think he would like to be friends with a beautiful lady like you.”
Zhang Mu quietly praised No. 14, these Era Merchants are all powerful beings, making friends with them is definitely a good idea.
Indeed, female animals really enjoy compliments, it was obvious that she was pleased with Zhang Mu’s praise.
“No. 14, I am about to start an era trade, could you please help me initiate it?”
“Yes, you almost forgot your main goal, come on, you have many things to take care of. After the trade, head to Luo Yang City to complete the mission, then enter Era Battlefield. The situation of your human race is not very good at the moment.”
Hearing this, Zhang Mu felt uneasy and quickly said, “Okay.”
“It’s not too complicated here, just take out the Era Region goods, I will estimate the price for you and give you a total price. However, the current market price is different from before, profits and losses are unpredictable.”
Zhang Mu nodded and said, “Okay, I understand.”
Then he opened the Era Merchant Ring, and the Era Region goods inside automatically floated in the air.
50 units of Azure Scarf, 4 units of Inner Mongolia ancient horned cattle horns, and 2 units of Golden Saddle were stored intact in the Era Merchant Ring. However, all the other Era Universal Merchandise had been scrapped, leaving Zhang Mu with nothing.
But No. 14 across the street remained still, with a strange expression on his face.
“What’s wrong? This is all of my Era Region goods at No. 14, please calculate the prices. I also want to buy more Era Region goods from you to complete my mission.”
When No. 14 saw these things, his eyes lit up, like a hungry man seeing a delicious roast chicken. Excitedly, she told Zhang Mu, “You may not know how crazy the prices of these Era Region goods in your hands are right now.”
Zhang Mu asked with a furrowed brow, “Are they very valuable? I happened to catch them during a price increase.”
Excited, No. 14, with a slightly flushed face, hurried to explain, “No, no matter when these things are sold, they always fetch the highest price Era Store can offer!”
Before Zhang Mu could ask, No. 14 continued excitedly, “These must be Era Region goods from Hohhot City before. I told you, back then, because of the involvement of No. 37, the Era Store there was reclaimed by a caravan.”
Zhang Mu’s eyes brightened at this point, continuing after No. 14, “In other words, these goods are no longer in production. The batch I have is all that remains.”
No. 14 was trembling, looking at Zhang Mu like a money tree about to drop gold coins, giving Zhang Mu a shiver.
“Indeed, your batch is likely the only one left in the current testing ground. Some were acquired by that old ghost in Xi An City, which directly led him to top seasonal performance. My luck is truly outstanding.”
Whenever Zhang Mu saw how excited No. 14 was, he couldn’t help but ask, “Is it really that amazing, even at this late hour, for you to clinch the top ranking?”
No. 14 waved a hand and said, “The Era Sub-merchants have all moved into the Era Battlefield now. The competition for performance has long been over, so I need to take these items in to exchange for some rewards.
As for how valuable they are, you can see it for yourself by looking at the prices.”
Without much ado, she slowly unfolded a trading list made up of lotus petals in front of Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu finally understood why No. 14 was so excited.
The prices were just too crazy!
Crazy to the point Zhang Mu felt like he had stumbled into a mountain made of gold leaves.
“Azure Scarf, 3 gold leaves per unit, available quantity: 50 units.”
“Inner Mongolian Yak Horn, 20 gold leaves per unit, available quantity: 4 units.”
The price of Azure Scarf is 0.2, while the cost of Inner Mongolian Yak Horn is 2.5. Both of these Era Region goods have increased by around ten times, but the most terrifying part is still to come.
“For Golden Saddle, each unit costs 100 gold leafs, and there are 2 units available for sale.”
Initially valued at 4 gold leafs, Golden Saddle’s current price has increased by a whopping twenty-five times!
Special Note: Finally seeing the legendary top-quality Era Region goods, this shopkeeper, please sell them all to me! Confirm it! That will do.
Zhang Mu, looking at the final trading assistant’s prompt, had a big smile on his face. No. 14 seemed a bit embarrassed; her smart assistant was just too timid.
Zhang Mu took a deep breath and slowly uttered four words.
“Sell them all.”
Afraid that Zhang Mu might change his mind, the other party swiftly collected Zhang Mu’s Era Region goods, and a mechanical voice spoke up.
“Epochal trade completed, receiving Era Region goods from No. 001.”
“In total, 430 gold leaves have been successfully transferred. Please check.”
As the mechanical sound rang out, Zhang Mu and No. 14 fell silent at the same time.
The originally quiet Era Store had now become completely silent.
