Chapter 79 - 79: Inside Channels
Charles entered the Front Building with Aurora, pressing the elevator button for the 7th floor, which housed Lsengard's largest material trading center.
Not only ferocious beast materials but also alchemy ingredients and forging supplies—this place had it all, like a large shopping mall for all kinds of oddities.
The trading area was bustling, with people crowding around various stalls, picking out their desired materials.
It didn't take long for Charles to find an ice attribute second-tier beast core and a fire attribute second-tier beast core, completing the list of evolution materials for Max except for one fusion heart.
"This is definitely the right place; I just hope the prices aren't too outrageous!" he muttered to himself.
"Aurora, it seems like your family is quite well-off. Why do you often work here?" While
"Cough... If you're still short on cash, just make it 10 silver coins!"
From five gold coins.
To 500 silver coins.
To 50 silver coins.
And finally, to 10 silver coins.
Charles had never seen such an unheard-of method of bargaining before!
He wasn't suspecting that the items were counterfeit—the system had already provided a suggested market price, and just one second-tier beast core was worth 50 silver coins!
To get all these treasures for just 50 silver coins was an unbelievable bargain!
...
"Aurora, your insider connection is incredibly effective!" Standing at the entrance of the Front Building, Charles's face was nearly split with joy.
He ended up feeling too embarrassed to take advantage of the deal for items worth over 200 silver coins and forcefully paid 50 silver coins instead!
He decided from that day on to completely change his view of the 'rip-off shop.' This place wasn't a rip-off at all; it was practically charity!
Seeing Charles's delighted expression, Aurora chuckled lightly, her eyes curving into crescents: "I heard the chairman of the Front Group has no sons, only a daughter. Why don't you try to get to know her? Marry her one day, and you won't just save 50 silver coins—you'll own the entire Front Building."
"You're joking, right? As if she'd be interested in me!" Charles laughed, then looked at Aurora somewhat apologetically, "I'm really sorry, Aurora. I asked you out to hang out, but I ended up focusing on finding materials and left you on your own."
Aurora paused for a moment, then her face brightened with a radiant smile: "It's okay, Charles. I was just happy that you asked me to come along."
The evening breeze tousled Aurora's long hair, a small blue hairpin nestled in her bangs, and her clear eyes seemed to shimmer with colorful light as she looked at Charles.
Charles was momentarily captivated, but his attention soon returned to the materials in his hands.
With these materials, Max could advance to the second tier before the enrollment ceremony started, and with the capability to face the onslaught of two first-tier mystical beasts, even if Mousie didn't participate, he'd be fully confident!
He leisurely strolled with Aurora, shopping until the sun set, and then they had dinner together. Standing at the crossroads, Charles waved to Aurora: "You've been such a great help today, I don't even know how to thank you! If there's ever anything you need help with, just ask, as long as it's within my capabilities!"
He couldn't wait to get home and help Max advance, happily sprinting towards his house.
Watching the exuberant figure of the young man, Aurora smiled quietly to herself and gently kicked a stone on the ground: "What a blockhead... who needs your thanks."
Looking up, a black stretch Maybach slowly pulled up in front of her.
An elderly man in a Front Group official uniform stepped out of the car, bowed slightly to the young girl, and then opened the passenger door...
