Chapter -7 Black market [2]

This is daylight robbery I say.

Each and every artifact I found interesting had a price above my budget.

"Danm! why am I so poor!"

I quickly grabbed my phone and dialed a number.

[Hey Bryan]

[What is it now? Did something come up once again]

[No nothing like that]

[Then why did you call me?]

My eye twitched when I heard those words.

[Do I call you for some work every time]

[Yes. You do]

This fucker.

[Anyway, have I ever told you how efficiently you do your work and how smart you are and how reliable you are? If you were a girl then I would have already married you "Sigh" Unfortunately you are not]

[No I am not lending you money]

The call ended but I was not going to give up so easily.

[Please! Please! Please!]

Once again I called him and as soon as he received the call I started beggi- cough cough requesting him.

[How much]

[Just 60,000]

The call ended once again but I wasn't gonna give up.

After one hour of begg- cough cough requesting him he lent me 20,000 points.

Arriving before a weapon stall that I had previously passed by, I quietly looked through their sword section.

Various swords were neatly displayed in the stall, allowing me to get a clearer view of what they looked like.

Each sword and weapon looked exquisite and tempting. But unfortunately, their price was something that normal people couldn't afford.

…But I still decided to test my luck. Maybe, just maybe I could find a sword that perfectly fit me and its price was less. After all, I can't spend all on a sword since I need to buy portions and dimensional space.

Excuse me"

Calling out the shop owner, I pointed at a slim sword that looked both robust and light at the same time.

Sure"

Nodding his head, the stall owner grabbed the sword and handed it to me.

A slim straight blade with black aesthetic patterns which looked like enchantments spoken in a foreign language deeply etched on the main body of the blade, quietly rested in the palm of my hands.

Carefully tracing my fingers along the edge of the blade, I could feel incredible sharpness coming from the sword that made it seem like it could cut anything.

-Drip

A drop of blood fell on the ground.

It was quite a fine sword. Perfect for me who liked to kill his opponent swiftly. This sword was incredibly good. Not only was it light, but it was also extremely durable.

[Name: Quick flash]

[Type: Artifact]

[Level: 2]

[Increases the speed of attack by 20%]

"Does it have a scabbard"

"Yes."

Nodding, the shop owner went to the back and took a silver rectangular scabbard.

He handed it to me.

Placing the sword inside of the scabbard I nodded satisfactorily.

Because the sword did not have a guard, the sword neatly fitted the scabbard making it look like I had a long thin rectangular stick.

"How much for this sword?"

"14,999 Points."

"…"

Looking at the sword that rested on the side of my hip, I hesitated for a second before taking my phone and transferring him the points.

"Thank you for your purchase"

I didn't reply as my heart was bleeding seeing that I had just spent 15,000 points.

Now I had to be especially careful about what I purchased next.

I went through some more stalls and found what I was searching for.

Looking at the stall that sold things like storage rings, storage bags, storage pouches, etc…, I first looked at the prices. It was the most important factor.

Since prices were based on the storage space dimension, with 5,000 points dimensional storage provided 20 cubic meters.

"Excuse me."

"Yes

" I would like to buy a dimensional space providing 40 cubic meters."

"That would be 10,000 points."

Name: Storage bag (40 cubic meters)

Type: Artifact

Level: 1

Since storage devices have many forms, such as bags, pouches, rings, etc… the smaller the medium was the more expensive the price was.

Like hell, I would even pay an extra point so I went with a bag. I would have to carry it around my shoulder, what's so big deal about that?

The owner gave me the bag as soon as I paid for it. It looked like any other normal bag which was good because.

Since it was dimensional storage there was a risk that it could potentially be the target for thieves.

Dungeons were basically 'lawless' zones, where be it human or monster, they could all be your enemy.

It was always best to keep a low profile.

Since I had only five thousand points left I decide to spend three thousand on [Mana recovery portion] And one thousand on [Healing potion]

One mana recovery potion was a hundred points and would recover twenty points of mana.

I had one thousand points left which I would pay as an entrance to the dungeon operators.

Satisfied with what I got, I decided to head towards [Dungeon operators]

Because guilds and the union tend to monopolize dungeons, not allowing external parties into them, people who seek to become stronger or strike it rich and were not part of a guild have no choice but to come here.

Since [Dungeon operators] allowed access to anyone, whether they were hunters or demon slaves, people from all over the human domain came here to train themself or become stronger.

Moreover, the entrance fee and commission proposed by [Dungeon operators] were not that high, which in turn made this place even more popular and favorable, amongst the general population.

I walked at a faster pace and soon reached the front of a metal gate.

It seemed secure and very strong.

On the right side of the door, a small compartment opened through which a device with several wired patterns could be seen.

I quickly scanned the patterns through my phone due to which half of my remaining points in my bank account were transferred to an unknown number.

I had to permit the transaction by typing the password of course.
