《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.

Heart of the Dungeon
A lazy, wingless, blabbermouth of an imp, smearing goat’s blood all over the crystal – that is the unpleasant view this new Heart wakes up to. “I’m your Prime!” the imp says. The Heart reluctantly agrees. In an unknown world, filled with dangers, it needs every help it can get – even if said help is not…optimal. The Heart tries its best to succeed, even after being tricked by shrewd traders and having less than useful minions. Rival races settle in the Dungeon, causing even more headaches.The heroes, as they call themselves, sets their aim on the ‘new and defenseless’ Dungeon. The heroes are always lurking in the shadows – well actually, they are standing in the open, under the sun, hiding nothing – but either way, their evil intentions, no matter how they claim to justify them, only cause needless death. “Am I really that precious? Must you hunt me so fiercely? Why are you doing this to me?” The Heart does not understand their motives. Perhaps its lack of understanding has something to do with the fact the Heart has no physical limits nor material needs. Why take it from someone, when you can simply will it forth? Just pay for it with mana rent! To make things worse, the real dangers are not from above, nor from below, but from within…
