Chapter 360: Third-Rank Potion
“Listen to me… first.”
Though the Era Merchant hadn’t acted against Zhang Mu yet, the chilling cold made Zhang Mu shiver. He regretted not being straightforward earlier.
The Era Merchant looked very relaxed, but could also get serious at any moment. Zhang Mu felt like his Era Merchant at home was not as unpredictable emotionally. Are these Era Merchants all split personalities?
But forget it, in order to find out about those people, endure it, besides, listening to the Era Merchant’s tone, as long as the wine satisfies him, he might be able to get something good out of his collection of second-rank goods.
Zhang Mu rubbed his sore throat, knowing that this person couldn’t kill him, so he acted so arrogantly, just to provoke him, to pique the interest of this Era Merchant to the maximum extent.
Because Zhang Mu was very confident about the wine that was about to come out, this wine was for Blood Lotus to drink, now he unexpectedly encountered a wine lover Era Merchant, which will play a big role.
Are there treasures among the second-rank goods?
Originally just wanted to exchange wine for a few answers to questions, now there’s a nice surprise!
And with this kind of attitude, if he couldn’t squeeze out some benefits from this Era Merchant, could he still be called Zhang Mu?
The temperature warmed up a bit, the Era Merchant didn’t speak, Zhang Mu immediately said quickly, “Although I don’t have extra Lycorisradiata, I have found a new type of wine, the taste is only slightly different from Lycorisradiata, enough to exchange for your collection of second-rank goods.”
“This is absolutely impossible!”
When the Era Merchant’s power weakened, the Era Store returned to its original state. He shook his head in disdain and said, “Are you here at my door wanting to get the Lycoris radiata that No. 37 mentioned, empty-handed?
If you have truly tasted Lycoris radiata, how could you not know its exquisite taste? How could the wine brewed in your small experimental field be compared to it? Lycoris radiata is made with the energy from a planet’s core.
Moreover, I have tried various wines from Earth before, mixing red, white, yellow, and beer is not interesting at all.”
Zhang Mu knew the Era Merchant would not believe him. The reputation of Lycoris radiata was too great, but he said it with some confidence.
Slowly, he took out a barrel of aged wine from the Era Merchant Ring, opened the cork, and a rich wine aroma instantly filled the entire room.
It was precisely the plant wine from Gesar!
Moreover, this barrel of wine was not the ordinary wine that Zhang Mu had drunk before. The wines sold in the store had been diluted. Otherwise, even a second-rank evolver could not stand this strength.
The aged wine sealed in this barrel was the original plant wine that Zhang Mu had paid a big price for from Gesar!
Previously, it was only because of the Blood Lotus’s urging that he bought these addictive plant wines for the Blood Lotus. He didn’t expect them to come in handy now.
“I’ve been to so many tasting events, trying out wines that tasted bad and seen countless of them.”
Smelling the wine, Era Merchant couldn’t resist. Although he was reluctant at first, Zhang Mu could tell that he was tempted as he kept glancing towards the wine cask.
Zhang Mu chuckled and didn’t keep him waiting any longer. He simply threw the wine cask over.
Era Merchant caught the wine cask skillfully, watching the wine sloshing inside. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, then he gulped down the wine in one go, drinking it all without pausing to catch his breath.
Seeing Era Merchant’s eager expression, Zhang Mu smiled and said, “How about my wine, Era Merchant? Are you satisfied?”
Era Merchant wiped his mouth casually and said, “Though it lacks a bit of strength, the flavor is unique. It tastes good upon the first try. Although it’s still a far cry from Lycorisradiata, what you say isn’t empty talk.”
“Tell me, what do you want? Although the wine is decent, it still lacks quality. You can only pick one item from my collection, and it’s random,” Era Merchant stated.
Not strong enough? Diluted wine could easily bring down a few big guys, so hearing Era Merchant’s tone was somewhat disappointing.
“Don’t rush, Era Merchant. Before choosing, can I ask you a few questions? I still have a whole cask of that wine from earlier, and I could give it all to you when the time comes.”
While Era Merchant was still savoring the taste of the wine syrup, Zhang Mu quickly asked.
“Do you still have some of this wine syrup?”
But when Zhang Mu asked like this, Era Merchant instantly seemed to snap back to reality, looking at Zhang Mu with narrowed eyes.
“You can delay choosing the treasures, go ahead and ask first. Let me see what you want to ask, as for whether I will answer or not, we’ll see.”
Zhang Mu cleared his throat and said with a smile, “Era Merchant, why are you so nervous? I just want to ask about some business matters, definitely not any top-secret information.”
Seeing Era Merchant gesturing for him to continue, Zhang Mu slowly posed his question.
“What’s the background of these freelance Era Sub-merchants in Hohhot City? Are they under your command?
Among them, has anyone already been promoted to the position of a junior Era Sub-merchant like me?”
“So that’s what you want to ask about. That’s not a big deal. Yes, among that group of people, there are definitely my Era Merchants. In the past three months, they brought back a group of Era Sub-merchants from nearby Era City and formed a small organization. However, this is in line with Era Store rules, as long as it doesn’t affect our interests, it’s all permitted.”
As for promotions, that person isn’t as strong as you. I think maybe you’re the only one here in the whole testing ground with that status.
He is my top Era Sub-merchant, just because he had a very large amount of Era transactions, he was temporarily given basic permissions.”
Zhang Mu thought for a moment, then stopped overthinking it, and took out a jar of plant wine from the Era Merchant Ring, handing it to the Era Merchant. This time he carefully tasted a sip and didn’t drink it all.
“By the way, what about the promised second-rank treasure collection?”
“It’s completely random, Era Store’s functions are completely random. Don’t accuse me of cheating, you can call the shots.”
On the huge screen TV in front of Zhang Mu, there appeared a pre-apocalyptic lucky spin wheel, slowly turning faster and faster. Zhang Mu couldn’t catch the names indicated on it.
Well, let’s rely on luck then.
“Stop!”
As soon as Zhang Mu spoke, the big wheel suddenly slowed down its speed, with each color block of a second-rank treasure passing beneath the black pointer slower and slower. Zhang Mu watched anxiously.
After about ten seconds, the final pointer lost its power and slowly came to a stop in a narrow black stripe that looked like a tiny gap compared to the other areas.
“3rd place Evolution Potion!”
