Lan Xuanyu knitted his brows slightly and said, "Trade with whom? Other pirate groups?"
"No, no, no. It's most convenient to trade directly with the trading posts—not that trading with pirate groups isn't possible, but sometimes that can get complicated. They might offer a price higher than the trading post, but they don't pay up as swiftly. Plus, there's always potential for other issues to arise. So, I suggest selling straight to the trading post. In that case, the trading post directly covers the appraisal fee. The price might not be the highest, but it wins in terms of speed, and safety is the highest."
Lan Xuanyu's eyes brightened; selling directly to a trading post was indeed a good choice. Saving time and effort was more important to them now than maximizing profits. After all, completing the mission was the priority, and making a profit on the side was certainly welcome—but not at the risk of taking too many chances.
