Chapter 551: Chapter 349: Black Crystal Town (2)

I can summon a small number of subordinates from my territory here.

’Should I summon Gu Qing and the others?’

After some careful thought, I decided against it.

Zhao Chi did want to let them out to have some fun, but now wasn’t the time for fun.

After all, this was his first time here. He was in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people—it wasn’t a good time.

They can all live for 1,000 years. There would be plenty of time to have fun later; it didn’t have to be right now.

Besides, they were too beautiful and their figures were too good. They would attract way too much attention.

That wasn’t good.

Zhao Chi needed to be as low-key as possible right now. Selling those 3,200-plus pairs of Silk Stockings and then buying useful Supplies was his top priority.

So, he immediately strode forward.

He walked up to the first Exchange.

The Good Exchange.

’So many people.’

Perhaps because this Exchange was the closest to the caravan’s stopping point, it was extremely crowded.

Just getting through the main entrance required squeezing in.

Many merchants from smaller-sized Races didn’t even dare to enter, and could only linger outside the door.

Inside, it was all burly men, Minotaurs, Beastmen, and Humans.

The smell was... complex.

’Mo Ming would probably like it here.’

Zhao Chi thought for a moment, then squeezed his way inside anyway.

He didn’t want to miss a single one of these Exchanges.

Squeezing his way in, he found himself surrounded by hulking men.

’I have no idea why Mo Ming likes this feeling...’

Fortunately, Zhao Chi’s Constitution was extremely high and his Power wasn’t bad either, so he wasn’t at a disadvantage when jostling with these brawny men.

He soon squeezed to the front, quickly finished registering, and got the required permissions from a staff member.

The Exchanges in Dark Night City were somewhat different from the ones in Snowfield City.

The ones in Snowfield City were more like trading institutions; everything felt very official.

They were clean and tidy, like banks.

This place, on the other hand, was more like a private trading platform or a flea market—a total mess.

However, it was also possible that this Exchange was specifically for caravans. After all, with so many people, it would be impossible to keep it too tidy.

But as long as it could fulfill its most basic function—Trade—that was all that mattered.

He passed through the registration hall.

And entered the large trading courtyard at the back.

A staff member repeated monotonously, his face devoid of expression:

"Keep moving, keep moving. Don’t linger in the aisles."

"Don’t carry too much merchandise. Watch your belongings. If you lose anything, it’s on you."

"Don’t relieve yourselves wherever you please. There are toilets inside."

"No private trades are allowed. If you want to trade privately, please do so outside."

It really was a large courtyard, packed with people everywhere, much like a bustling night market.

Here, many people were carrying their merchandise.

Most of it, however, was stuff that could be carried on their person.

Some were also leading female slaves, who counted as self-moving cargo.

The sky was still pure black, but the illumination was more than sufficient.

This large courtyard was divided into several areas.

Following the signs, Zhao Chi arrived at a registration point.

A few Dark Elf staff members were listlessly going about their work, looking as if they’d seen it all and were past caring about life and death.

"Hello, sir. What can I help you with?"

Zhao Chi said, "I want to sell some merchandise."

"On consignment or a direct sale?"

Consignment meant you set your own price and listed your items on the Exchange’s merchandise list.

You had to pay the Exchange a Transaction Fee.

After the merchandise sold, you had to pay another Transaction Fee based on the sale price.

A direct sale was selling straight to the Exchange. The Exchange would assess the merchandise and give you a price, like a one-time deal.

Large-volume trades were usually direct sales.

Zhao Chi asked, "What are the fees for consignment?"

The staff member was a bit impatient. "It’s all written on the sign outside, why didn’t you read it? For consignment, it’s 2 Silver Coins per item per day. You can pay to increase its exposure. After a successful Trade, we take 3% of the final price as a Service Fee."

Zhao Chi ignored his attitude. "I want to sell 500 liters of Super Bright Kerosene. Here are my Kerosene’s Attributes."

The staff member glanced at it. "Special Super-Improvement?"

"That’s right."

"Then our appraisers will have to evaluate it. What’s your expected Trade price?"

For something like this, it was obviously ’the more, the better’.

It was part of the haggling process.

But he couldn’t be too ridiculous.

"My expected price is 40 Silver Coins per liter."

"Alright, you’ll have to wait a moment."

"Fine, thank you. I also want to consign 300 liters of Kerosene, and I’d like to set up 10 different price tiers. Is that possible?"

"Whatever. You set the prices yourself. You can set 10,000 tiers if you want, as long as you’ve got the money. I’ve already opened up the permissions for you. You have 30 minutes of registration Time. Do it yourself."

"Okay, thanks."

Zhao Chi moved to the side and opened the system.

The system had already received a permission notification.

A window had appeared, allowing him to register the items himself.

Zhao Chi divided the 300 liters of Super Bright Kerosene into 10 lots of 30 liters each.

He registered them with price increments of 5 Silver Coins per tier.

The lowest price was 25 Silver Coins, and the highest was 70 Silver Coins.

Zhao Chi estimated that the lots priced below 30 Silver Coins would sell quickly.

The rest might sell a bit slower, but even if they didn’t sell at all, it didn’t matter. He wanted to see the highest price this Kerosene could fetch.

Of course, the Kerosene’s Attributes were the main selling point, and they would all be displayed on the listing.

He paid 20 Silver Coins, and the registration for the 10 Kerosene lots was complete.

’It wasn’t too expensive, actually.’

There were also value-added services in the window.

Zhao Chi specifically clicked to check them out.
