Chapter 420: Chapter 150 Bargain

Jin proceeded to the dungeon maker after he enjoyed his share of desserts while the rest of the group returned to their respective abodes for some rest. The first thing Jin checked was the number of tributes he had received from the Deep Ones and the number of Deep Ones that were captured collectively by the rest.

"Hmmm…1204 fish." Jin stared at the Dungeon Maker screen for a moment as he sipped a cup of Black Ivory Coffee, which he brought into the instance. He inspected the list of fish that had been categorised by the System's interface and noticed a lot of the aquatic life that had been sent as tribute was seafood that was known in his world too. "Tuna, Salmon, Crabs, Shrimps… Wow, a one-metre long shrimp and a five-metre long prawn?" Jin was continuously amazed by the things he discovered from other parallel worlds. Could he be called a World Traveller now?

"Not qualified to be a Parallel World Traveller. You are a Dungeon Supplier." The system replied via a screen. Jin forgot that he was still at the mercy of the System no matter how he tried to go against it. "In any case, I think I know what I will do for the Fishing Service Instance," Jin remembered how he had loved the idea of a sushi conveyor belt when he had seen that in a sushi restaurant as a kid.

"System, will the fishes respawn after they are caught and eaten?" Jin was thinking of designing a live sushi store as the concept for the service instance.

"Yes, you have captured them with your device. All fishes captured are spawned as time passes in the fishing service instance that you are creating." The system replied.

"Excellent!" Jin checked the amount of dungeon dollars he had before he started creating the service instance. "Still in the low thousands…Hmm if I trade in half of the treasure artefacts, how much would I get?"

"Please hold, calculating." Each and every ancient artefact given by the Deep ones was being scanned thoroughly by the system and the process took roughly five seconds for each artefact. The system interface even showed the artefact being analysed right on the spot in that period of time before switching to the next artefact. Jin barely had time to take a closer look at one properly before it was changed to the following artefact.

"Total amount of the gold and ancient artefacts is roughly 50 thousand dungeon dollars. Sufficient for you to make 10 high quality service dungeon instances or three scenario themed dungeons. Alternatively, it is sufficient for you to make a high quality home for all your monsters including all the Deep Ones you have captured." The system analysed.

"Roughly?" Jin thought to himself suspiciously. "This is not right. The system has always been be exact, why did it say roughly?" Hence, Jin decided to clarify. "Give me the exact amount of the whole transaction."

"50,856 Dungeon Dollars." The system replied promptly.

"Tell me the supposed price if I had sold it half an hour ago." Jin tried his idea and surprisingly, the system did give an answer.

"50,922 Dungeon Dollars." The system gave its reply once more.

"If that's the case, I am willing to sell my artefacts if you trade it for 70 thousand dungeon dollars."

"…" The system did not know how to respond since it seemed to be doing some internal calculation.

"55,412 Dungeon Dollars. That's most people's limit."

"Are you sure that's all that you can do? I believe the markets you are selling at are probably in some open market. Have you tried the Black Markets? What I am asking is definitely less than what the Black Market's market price. I mean, come on! These are treasures once hoarded by the Deep Ones. Surely they are worth something. I bet you are secretly earning a commission too right?" Jin tried to do what most Chinese did best. Obscene bargaining.

"… What you have said indeed holds value. Please hold." The system showed a 'Please Hold' signage on its screen while it started to venture into the black markets, or at least that was what Jin had gathered.

"93,521, Best Offer." The system replied with a smiley emoticon.

"Come on, make it 100,000 and we have a deal. Tell them we might even give them priority if we find such artefacts again." Jin tried to push his luck.

"…No Deal. Offer stays at 93,521 dungeon dollars." The system gave an angry face emoticon immediately but Jin was unrelenting.

"Fine. No deal then, I am not selling it to them. Tell them they can continue to wait for the next seller to come and hope that they offer something even close in quality to these ancient artefacts. So best of luck to them." Jin gave his reply to the system, which continued to be the middleman.

"Buyer said at most 95,000. That is the maximum he is offering." The system gave its reply, which brought a smile to Jin's face. "Deal. Process the transaction."

It had been a long time since he had done some haggling and he missed such days before the advent of digital payments became widespread. He did not expect that he could do this again but he was glad he could as it was fun doing so.

"Transaction completed. 95,000 dungeon dollars have been deposited into your account. You have a total of 102,014 Dungeon Dollars. Please use it wisely."

"With this, I could skip the trip to the Dungeon World and put off Dungeon Takeovers…but I still need to get my store sign up before people mistake my shop as Pandamonium." Jin spoke to himself as he grinned when he saw the money being transferred into his account.

"Time to properly make the Fishing Instance and open it for my regular store customers." As Jin knew what he wanted, he managed to finish designing the Fishing Service Instance, or as he renamed it, the Reservoir of Deep Fishing Service Instance.

When he was done, Jin noticed that he still had approximately two and a half earth hours before 8am so he decided to enter the Emerald Mountains Hot Springs again to cultivate until 8am Earth time.

"More Cultivation, More strength, More enlightenment, More Money!" Jin began his cultivation once he informed Mr Patsu, the penguin representative of his time constraint.
