Trading Goods.

...

"Hehehe finally, someone took the bait... I mean someone wants to trade."

Ekhael clapped his hands, smiling wickedly as he opened the shop and looked toward his trading item.

In an instant, Ekhael entered the message of the customer.

...

[ {Trading Area}

{ User Calm Water: Ahem, sir Divine Nurturer are the goods still available?}

Ekhael smiled upon seeing the shy type of message of the customer before replying.

{ User Divine Nurturer: Yes @Calm Water it is still available. Are you willing to trade? If yes how much are you willing to pay? }

Ekhael's heart pounded as he sent the message to the customer. "Hopefully, she/he didn't find my message rushed or straightforward."

He prayed silently as he was not used or well-versed in terms of conversation and business.

Soon, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, and a whole minute passed by.

The expected reply from the customer didn't come, making Ekhael's heart anxious as speculations rang inside his head.

"Did she/he decide not to buy my goods?"

Sigh... I should not be rushed next time. He thought dejectedly.

He probably already scared the customer due to his straightforwardness. Making her/him not reply in return.

Soon a full minute and a half passed by. Ekhael had already given up waiting for the message as he was readying to close the panel when suddenly a new message from the customer appeared.

Reasoning for him to heave a sigh of relief. Although it looks like a little exaggeration, Ekhael doesn't want his first business conversation to be unsuccessful.

(An unsuccessful business on the first day of the opening means it would be always unsuccessful in the future in Ekhael's beliefs.)

{ User Calm Water: I actually don't have much. Can I exchange one pack for 25 klg of sand? If you find my offer too little I could increase the amount slightly.}

Wait!? 25 kilograms? It is already too much.

Ekhael hastily wanted to agree and immediately closed the deal when he suddenly stopped midway. "Wait, I can still increase the price!? My waiting is not in vain!"

Ekhael's anxious heart immediately turned into a delight as the expected price of his goods was only worth 20 klg of sand.

Although he was happy inside, Ekhael's appearance still looked the same before chatting calmly with the customer.

{ User Divine Nurturer: Uhmmm... Can you increase it to 30 kilograms? 25 klg of sand is quite below my regular price. }

Ekhael chatted, waiting for Calm Water to accept the deal. If she/he found that 30 klg was too much, Ekhael would find it fine and instead would offer a 26 klg of sand as a price.

Of course, he would message the customer hesitantly, so she/he could think that selling the goods for 25 to 26 klg of sand is benevolent on his part.

Creating a benevolent image that could make the customers come back to buy goods from him in the future!

Ding!

{ User Calm Water: @Divine Nurturer Deal, can we trade now? }

Fortunately, the customer is quite rich and generous. Making Ekhael all plans unnecessary.

Ding!

[ Calm Water wanted to trade 30 kilograms of sand in exchange for a pack of goods. (Accept/Decline) ]

Accepting the offer, Ekhael laughed out loud as he sent a message of thanks to calm water.

"Hehehe, my first business was successful."

...

As Ekhael was thinking of how he could increase his farm in the future, another notification rang inside his head. Indicating new customers.

With the success of his earlier business, the anticipation inside him couldn't be hidden.

With curled-up lips, Ekhael again opened his trading area. Soon the message of the new customer was presented in his line of sight.

{ User Muscle Man: Hey cutie, don't you mind if I pay for something different with the goods... Like...}

Upon seeing the message, Ekhael's hair suddenly stands up as chills creep inside of him. A strange image of a Man with bulging muscles wearing red lipstick and a colorful skirt appeared inside his head, causing him to close his eyes.

With a pounding heart, Ekhael replied.

{ User Divine Nurturer: Like Wha...What? }

{ User Muscle Man: Hehe, Like the thing you want and you will find interesting... Do you know Skill Upgrade Cards? }

Wait... Skill Upgrade Cards?

Ekhael looked confused for a second before his expression changed into a shock.

How could he not know that, he just used that card yesterday. Relying on it to increase the grade of his (Rare) Harvester to (Epic) Heavenly Planter skill.

It could be said that the Skill Upgrade Card is useful in a lot of ways.

That is why upon reading the message of Muscle Man an anticipation builds up inside him.

"Don't tell me he plans to trade that item!?" Ekhael couldn't help but to think of it as he excitedly replied to the Muscle Man.

{ User Divine Nurturer: Yes, I also received the item in the First Kill package.}
