7. Scamming The Scammer

"Oh dear, the goal of hide and seek is not to get caught but....I see I've have already been found, I wanted to surprise you too." A said, coming out of his portal.

"Hey A." Salvador said, waving at him.

"Why hello there, can you pretend not to notice me next time?, If I get found right away then it's no fun, right? Ohohoho." A said, in a playful tone.

"But I need to trade things, I'm packed to the brim, well the lair's deed and the dagger for 170 tokens." Salvador said.

"That's a bit..." A said.

"180." Salvador said.

"I can't give yo..." A said.

"200." Salvador said.

"That's exceeding..." A said.

"300." Salvador said.

"Do you really think you can sell those items at that price?" A said.

"The more you wait, the more expensive it becomes, I'm hoping to get to 1000 also might I remind you the cave will disappear if no one collects these items, including the level 70 refinement stone, you don't want that to happen now, hmm? Salvador said, calmly.

"GAAAH!, 300 tokens for the stone is still..." A said.

"500." Salvador said, cutting A off again.

"F-Fine! Stop please! I'll give you what you asked for, just stop raising the price!, I'm gonna go broke if you do!" A yelled, waving his hands back and forth, sweating.

"Finally, we'll complete the trade with 510, the 10 extra is for wasting my time, I could have gotten more stats with that time you wasted, pendejo" Salvador said, taking the crown.

"...I swear this is the first time I met someone more terrible than me." A said, with a dark could over his head.

[You've sold 'Karlsuna's Dagger ' and "Deed of Hargan lair" for 510 tokens.]

[Tokens: 718]

"Ight see ya, another group will be here in 2 hours, so I gotta go." Salvador said, walking away.

A also was getting into his portal, grumbling, when he stopped and called out to Salvador.

"Wasn't it a bit bold of you to sell the magic refinement stone?, did you sell it to me knowing the situation on 'that side'." A said.

"What the fuck is 'that side', know what I'll remember this." Salvador said, acting confused.

"Ummm, forget I ever said that, Ok bye." A said, leaving quickly.

"Just gonna hate and love war, you can profit off of wars but, in return for profit, lifes are being killed like lifestock." Salvador said, sighing, he checked the rankings

"Time to steal Cha Yeon Woo ace in the hole." Salvador said, running out of the hidden area, running past the trapped hunters, screaming for help, heading east of Cha Yeon Woo party, towards the brown plains, the domain of the orcs.

Once Salvador got there, he killed some orcs, took their materials and used Gluttony on them, increasing his skill and strength.

After he did that, he ran up the mountain, stopping Infront of a house and knocking on it.

"Hello?" Salvador said, seeing the door opening a little.

"Who the hell are you? And you better start talking before your head is stuck on that rock behind you." A dark elf said, having a bow aimed at Salvador's head.

"My name is Salvador, I'm here because a friend informed me about you, you are galliard, right?" Salvador said.

"I'm looking for 'Undine's Glass'." Salvador said.

"Who...did you hear that from?" Galliard said.

"From Brahm." Salvador said.

"That bastard...I told him to keep his mouth shut, how did he even find a person like you." Galliard said, facepalming

"Damn it, fine. Come in." Galliard said, walking into his house, with Salvador following, only to see a dead animal on the table.

"Are you taking that monster materials." Salvador said, pointing at the monster.

"Yes, why? Do you also collect their materials?" Galliard said.

"Yeah, look." Salvador said, opening up his massive pants pockets, showing all different kinds of monster materials.

Galliard silmed and sat down and Salvador noticed that his guard dropped a high margin.

"Let's talk, you want the glass?" Galliard said.

"Yah." Salvador said.

"Are you aware of what it takes to make it?" Galliard said.

"Sort of." Salvador said.

"Fine. Let's begin, then." Galliard said.

"The rules are very simple. I'll be hiding around here and all you have to do is to tag me. I'll give you 15 minutes for each round." Galliard.

Galliard came out of the cottage and explained the rules of the test.

"I know that there's a big gap between you and me, so I'll place a handicap on myself. I won't use my hands, and I won't use skills other than movement related ones." Galliard said.

"Ight." Salvador said

"Let's begin, then." Galliad said, disappearing into the wind.

Salvador used his foreknowledge and 6th sense to know where he went, taking out a random sword he got in Block B and throwing at Galliard, surprising Galliard.

Making Galliard run over to the tree but since Salvador was using 6th sense and his foreknowledge, he easily found him and threw another sword.

Making Galliard dodge the sword but Salvador ran over and tried to touch Galliard but he failed, as galliard sensed him and tried to jump off the tree.

Salvador then grabbed Galliard, surprising him again.

"First one out of ten, looks like you gotta get ready to give me that skill." Salvador said with confidence flowing in him, looking at Galliard.

"Since you're like that, how about you catch me ten times in this one game and if you can't, you won't get the skill but if you can get me, I'll give you 'Undine's Glass', the skill, karma and something special." Galliard said, smirking.

[Galliard paposed a new condition]

[Will you accept?]

Yes. No.

{Oh? This didn't happen in the novel, should I accept it...HELL YA} Salvador thought.

Salvador pressed yes and Galliard received the info that he accepted it.

"Good, better hurry up, you only have 13 minutes left." Galliard said, disappearing again.

Running behind him, barely following the trail Galliard left behind, he appeared behind him and tried to touch him, using his nimble moved but Galliard dodge it with nimble movements aswell.

Galliard was surprised that Salvador had such nimble movements but that didn't distract him.

Salvador threw his scimitar, that he had strapped to his back with monster skin, onto the ground, causing the groud to crack a little.

At how heavy the sword was and making Salvador speed increase, causing him to touch Galliard.

"How was that?" Salvador asked.

"Decent but not good enough, as you only have 10 minutes left." Galliard said, disappearing again.

After that remember, Salvador put all of his strength into his legs, increasing his speed even more, causing him to catch up with Galliard, for how long his legs could hold.

After the 10 minutes passed, he had cleared the quest, at the cost of him not being able to walk for a couple hours.

"Hah! To think you could do that condition." Galliard said, looking at Salvador, who was laying down on his back.

"This condition wasn't supposed to be done at your level yet and yet you did, how did you do it?" Galliard said, surprised.

"That's a secret, unless you give me hundred thousand karma, also could you give me some milk." Salvador said, still laying on the ground.

"How would you even drink milk." Galliard said.

"Just hand me some milk, if you have some." Salvador said.

After Galliard got Salvador milk, Salvador dranked it and his legs healed.

"How..." Galliard said, getting cut off.

"Don't ask, know are we going somewhere?." Salvador said.

"Ah, well, Follow me." Galliard said.

Salvador followed Galliard back to his cottage, opening the door Galliard walked over to a corner and grabbed a bag.

"Here, take it." Galliard said, giving Salvador the bag.

"Let me look inside." Salvador said, grabbing the bag and opening it.
