《The King of Avarice》Chapter 6: The Barter
Advertisement
"This is harder than I thought," I say as I continue to look for anything to help me with my mission.
As I continue to look I had a realization: NPC's! I completely forgot that they were there.
I instantly walk up to a random person to ask my questions.
"Hello there, kind sir, I am in need of your assistance," I say to him.
"Mgphm! what was that mister, were you talking to me" says a man that looks to be a few years older than me.
"I did, kind sir, you see I'm in need of your assistance" I answer in a friendly voice while I also use the skill: [Friendly Smile]. hopefully, it makes me seem nicer.
"Oh and what kind of assistance is this you ask of me?" he says back to me and seems to turn friendlier.
"You see sir, I need a few things and some directions" I answer.
"Well, what do you need? I warn you, though if it’s something important it will cost you a lot, and directions to where?" This greedy man is already talking about money.
"Thank you for helping me. You see, I need three cups and one box of any material, something to write on the box with, and directions to this city's central." A short list and he should at least know where to find these items.
"Hmm, yes I can help you get those items and I can escort you to the central, all for 10 silver. What do you say? " What? 10 silver? That's way too expensive. And he seems so life-like, is he really an NPC I wonder.
"I'm sorry sir, but that is too expensive. How about 10 copper instead?" I start to barter.
"Huh, you do seem kinda poor, all right how about 1 silver" he barters back.

"I don't know. That's still a lot, and I can always do this myself. 20 copper" I continue to barter.
"Bah! Fine: 30 copper" he shouts one last time.
"Deal, kind sir! I am so happy we came to an agreement, may I ask for your name?" I agree and ask.
"The name’s Jim, Jim Sanders, now let's get you your stuff" Jim answers in a friendly tone,it seems money can buy friendship after all.
I hand him the 30 coppers and follow him. Hopefully, he isn't a bandit about to mug me.
After I handed the coppers over I got a nice prompt.
Skill achieved: Barter. all prices are lowered by 1% of the original price. You can level this skill
Yes, he wasn't a bandit, I now have a box with the keywords: [One Gold For A Chance Of Platinum]
And now we're off to the central.
On the way there, Jim says: "I almost forgot: here is a small gift!" he hands me a very smooth and light but with weight blue stone, perfect for my cups.
"Thanks a lot, this is just what I need" I answer full heartedly.
Now off to the center with no more distractions "hoorah" I shout.

Tavern Cat
Dying and being reborn in a fantasy world as a hero destined to kill the Demon King to prevent a great war is some people's greatest dream. Others, however, may prefer to sit around, relax, take a few naps, and ignore the impending doom. And hey, if such a 'hero' gets reborn as a cat, what's gonna stop them from doing all that? Finding a warm home filled with food, gossip, and comfort sounds a whole lot easier than putting in the work to stop a war. Updating weekly, allegedly. Constructive criticism is appreciated as this is my first story!

Mutant Farmer in the Apocalypse
In the year 2022, one year after the Z-20 Virus outbreak, all of humanity had been infected by the virus, and their bodies reacted differently. The majority of the humans turned into zombies, while the minority turned into ability users. Some didn’t change into either. They were powerless in comparison, as even feral zombies were more powerful than an average human. At 20 years old, Yang Zhang was used as a scapegoat and kicked out of his town; a medium-sized shelter base used to protect humanity from the ever-growing threat of zombie attacks. Scared and powerless against the harsh world infested with zombies, he stumbled upon a squirrel that ate the brain of a dead ability user and began discharging electricity constantly. He realized that he could use this newfound information to protect himself. “That’s right! I can build a farm and create more and more of these mutated animals and plants to protect myself!”Thus started the journey of Yang Zhang as he created a farm while continuously breeding many magical —albeit grotesque— mutated animals and plants. Yet, once the zombies and ability users started noticing his unique farm, they began to invade. With no choice left, he armed himself by creating stronger mutated animals and plants to protect the farm at all cost! “Get off of my lawn, you bunch of greedy pigs!”**Tower Defense + (Mutated) farm simulator + Zombie waifu.**--Original Cover art, using Picrew.Cover + Editor by Silly_FoxThis book is also available in Webnovel and Scribblehub--
