Chapter 3 Whale Glue
An hour later.
The entrance to the largest medicinal store in Soto City.
Qin Ming looked up at the plaque in front of him, as well as the smiling reception ladies around him, and silently began to make calculations in his heart.
‘I originally only wanted to ask for 5,000 gold soul coins, but I didn’t expect Bishop Kelin to directly give me 10,000 gold soul coins.
With these gold soul coins, I can choose more targets. ’
While thinking, Qin Ming walked towards the door of the medicinal materials store.
As soon as I entered, the smell of various Chinese herbal medicines mixed together came.
Qin Ming sniffed.
Just as Qin Ming was about to take a stroll, a man who looked like a clerk came up to him.
"Brother, what do you need?"
Seeing this, Qin Ming directly pulled the man's sleeve and said.
“Do you have high-quality whale gum here?”
"Whale glue?"
After hearing Qin Ming's words, the waiter's expression became a little strange.
As we all know, whale glue is a kind of fun thing.
The waiter had no idea that Qin Ming, a kid who looked only eleven or twelve years old, would come to buy such a thing.
Qin Ming didn't pay attention to the guy's gaze.
In today's era, soul masters do not understand the true function of whale glue and only regard it as a product that adds to entertainment.
But 10,000 years later, when the soul master discovered that whale glue could improve physical fitness and allowed the soul master to absorb soul rings of a higher age, the price of whale glue began to rise continuously.
High-quality whale gum is even rarer to find.
By Huo Yuhao's time, it was difficult to find whale gum that was more than a thousand years old.
Even Huo Yuhao, a super idiot, absorbed nothing more than a piece of weathered whale gum.
While thinking, Qin Ming looked at the waiter again.
"Stop inking, take me to see the goods first."
Hearing this, the waiter didn't dare to refuse and took Qin Ming directly into a private room where guests were waiting.
After settling Qin Ming down, the waiter spoke.
"Brother, please wait a moment.
I immediately went to get the whale gum from the store. "
With that said, he took steps to pick up the goods.
Seeing this, Qin Ming grabbed the other party.
At the same time, he also took out the golden soul coin card he had just received. After showing it in front of the other party, Qin Ming said coldly.
"Don't worry, I need high-quality whale glue.
The higher the age, the better. There is no need to bring ordinary whale glue. "
Seeing the golden soul coin card in Qin Ming's hand, the clerk quickly put on a brighter smile than before.
"This distinguished guest.
Just a moment, I'll be here soon. "
Seeing this, Qin Ming let go of the other party, silently picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and sat indoors to wait.
After a cup of tea.
The door was opened again.
Qin Ming raised his eyes and saw that the man who came in was not the same guy from before.
Rather, he was a middle-aged man with a somewhat prosperous figure.
He held three brocade boxes on a tray and red cloth.
Seeing this, Qin Ming narrowed his eyes.
Just when Qin Ming was about to speak, the man spoke first.
"This distinguished guest, I am Huang An, the shopkeeper of this pharmacy.
I have brought you what you need. "
With that said, Huang An delivered the tray to Qin Ming.
At the same time, he reached out and opened several good-looking brocade boxes.
"This distinguished guest, please take a look."
Along with Huang An's movements, a strange fishy smell also floated out, lingering in the room for a long time.
However, neither Qin Ming nor the shopkeeper paid attention.
Seeing that Qin Ming didn't respond, the shopkeeper started to introduce it directly.
"Dear guest, look.
These three pieces of whale glue were produced from cetacean soul beasts that were thousands of years old, three thousand years old, and ten thousand years old.
Our store also spent a lot of effort to acquire these whale gums.
Therefore, you also need to be prepared that they are not cheap. "
When Qin Ming noticed the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue, he felt happy in his heart.
However, Qin Ming did not show that he was in urgent need of this thing.
Qin Ming still leaned on the back of the chair, pretending to be absent-minded, and asked casually.
“Let’s be honest, how much do these things cost?” “The thousand-year price is two hundred gold soul coins, and the three-thousand-year price is one thousand gold soul coins.
Then the ten-thousand-year-old whale gum sells for four thousand gold soul coins. "
The shopkeeper looked at Qin Ming with a smile and looked like I had suffered a big loss.
Seeing this, Qin Ming frowned slightly.
"It's expensive, but it's not a soul bone.
The price of materials produced by ordinary thousand-year soul beasts is only about two hundred gold soul coins, and the price of materials produced by ten thousand-year soul beasts is only around more than a thousand gold soul coins.
Even whale gum has a stimulating effect.
Your direct doubling is really unreasonable. "
With that said, Qin Ming stood up directly and looked like he was ready to leave.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly explained.
"Dear guest, you have misunderstood. Hunting whale spirit beasts is not easy.
What's more, we are far away from the ocean, and transportation is also expensive.
I’m not bragging, there is no other trading house in the entire Soto City that can find whale gum of such quality.
These three pieces have been our storage for many years...
If you really want to buy it, I can give you a discount here. "
"Discount?
Yes, this distinguished guest.
If you really want it, we can give you a 10% discount. "
"Ten percent off is not enough, just give it a 10 percent discount."
Ignoring Huang An's shocked expression, Qin Ming took out the dragon-slaying machete.
Faced with Qin Ming's unreasonable bargaining method, Huang An screamed out in surprise.
"One discount?"
Huang An tried his best to maintain his professionalism and looked at Qin Ming with wide eyes.
"Guest, are you kidding me?"
Seeing this, Qin Ming picked up the tea bowl next to him and took a sip, and then spoke in a leisurely manner.
"Shopkeeper Huang, isn't this whale glue easy to sell?"
After hearing Qin Ming's words, the smile on Huang An's face disappeared.
Ignoring the shopkeeper's surprised look, Qin Ming continued.
"Whale glue only has the function of adding to the entertainment. Other than that, it is just a fishy meatball..."
For us soul masters.
Generally, century-old whale glue or even ten-year-old whale glue are enough for use.
The thousand-year-old whale glue and the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue you sent me would actually be a bit over the top.
Can ordinary soul masters use it?
As for those soul masters with advanced cultivation, their physiques are not bad at all, so why do they need these things...
You just sold these things to me, don't you feel guilty? "
After Qin Ming finished speaking, the shopkeeper looked at Qin Ming again, and at the same time he couldn't help complaining in his heart.
‘With such a clear understanding of the details of whale glue, it seems that this guy has bought this thing a lot.
If you use whale glue at such a young age, you won’t have to worry about yourself when you get old...'
After thinking crazily for a while, Huang An pretended to sigh.
"Dear guest, your bargaining is still a bit too harsh.
At a discount of 10%, we won’t even be able to protect our capital. "
With that said, Huang An looked at Qin Ming again and said.
“How about otherwise.
Distinguished guest, I see that you and I are of the same mind, so I will make a deal at a loss this time.
These three pieces of whale glue are packaged and sold to you for a total of four thousand gold soul coins. "
Hearing Huang An's words, Qin Ming rolled his eyes and said.
"Pack them all together, a total of two thousand gold soul coins. If that's okay, I'll take it."
Noticing that Huang An's face was a little ugly, Qin Ming spoke again.
“Your cost price won’t be that high.
These things should also be sent by caravans from those coastal cities.
You know the ins and outs of this stuff.
Therefore, you will never spend a lot of money and lose money when buying this thing.
Even if I quote a price of two thousand, you should still make a profit. "
Seeing Qin Ming, he still insisted on the price of two thousand.
Huang An sighed helplessly and pretended to think for a while.
He closed the brocade boxes and handed them to Qin Ming.
"make a deal……"
