The list showed resources from the M City branch for trading.
Metals, furs, Blueprints, even a couple of Skill Runes.
Compared to Wang Si's list, theirs seemed extravagant.
Bai Ye glanced once and cast an apologetic look at Wang Si.
Wang Si noticed and grimaced.
"Big shot, don't play like this. I came excited; don't let me leave empty-handed?"
"Ahem, don't worry, I won't."
Bai Ye scratched his nose, feeling a bit bad.
He'd meant to sell to officials from the start; inviting them was to raise the price and earn more.
Letting someone leave empty-handed felt rude.
So Bai Ye had an idea he didn't say out loud.
But Wang Si and Ni Meng were smart and caught it immediately.
Wang Si brightened and smiled.
"You said it, can't go back on your word."
Though no Class Rune, other good things were fine.
Ni Meng wanted to ask if Bai Ye planned to sell more but didn't.
"Forget it, getting the Class Rune is enough."
Whatever Bai Ye might trade later wouldn't be more valuable.
So she didn't bother competing with Wang Si.
Bai Ye nodded to Wang Si, promising no such thing.
Then he looked at Ni Meng's phone, thought for a moment, selected several items, and passed it over.
"I want these. How about it?"
"No problem. I'll have them sent immediately."
Ni Meng nodded, then called out orders.
Bai Ye requested many things, all needed.
Mostly Rare Metals, plus Blueprints and a Skill Rune.
Specifically:
Elemental Spirit Gold x5
Mithril x10
Mountain-Calming Stone x10
Volcanic Stone x10
Magic Stone x10
Skill Rune: Absorption Shield
Hot Spring Blueprint x1
Study Room Blueprint x1
Exchanging one Class Rune for so much was a great deal.
The Absorption Shield was a Dark Attribute skill, forming a shield of dark energy that absorbed damage—chosen by Bai Ye to synergize with his new talent.
The Hot Spring and Study Room Blueprints weren't as good as Wang Si's, but decent.
The Hot Spring Blueprint was for relaxation.
The Study Room, if built with good materials, might grant extra inspiration later.
Metals were carefully selected by Bai Ye after consideration.
Apart from the Study Room Blueprint, all items were currently usable.
Once confirmed, M City officials were fast—within minutes, knocking sounded.
Opening the door, a young man in black greeted Bai Ye excitedly, "Big shot, I'm Sun Bo, here to deliver items for Captain Ni."
"Come in."
Bai Ye smiled and invited him in.
Sun Bo told Ni Meng, "Captain, here are the items. Should I give them to you first?"
"Hand them directly to Bai Ye."
Ni Meng ordered.
Sun Bo nodded and took all the resources from his backpack, handing them to Bai Ye.
Wang Si watched in disbelief—his offerings paled compared to the officials', explaining Bai Ye's choice.
Though disappointed to miss the Class Rune, Bai Ye's words comforted and raised Wang Si's hopes.
Soon, all resources were accounted for.
Bai Ye took out the Class Rune and handed it to Ni Meng.
She quickly checked, smiled happily, "Bai Ye, I've got the goods. I'm off now."
She was eager to leave.
Though this was step one, as a Night Watcher leader, she still had to get this into her squad.
"Goodbye."
Bai Ye nodded without stopping her.
Just as Ni Meng left, she looked back at Bai Ye, playfully winking, "Bai Ye, remember to contact me next time if you have good stuff."
"Don't worry, I will."
Bai Ye smiled faintly but rolled his eyes inside.
Women.
Now even using beauty tactics.
But useless on him.
Though Ni Meng was pretty, she was a rose with thorns, untouchable.
Compared to that, the elves or Succubi in the Land of Darkness were more charming.
Most importantly, once they were with him, they belonged entirely to him—no worry of betrayal.
After seeing Ni Meng off, Wang Si, unable to contain himself, excitedly asked, "Big shot, now that she's gone, what else do you have for me?"
Bai Ye rubbed his nose awkwardly, "Ahem, nothing."
"What? Nothing? Big shot, are you kidding?" Wang Si was dumbfounded, feeling played.
Bai Ye laughed, "Don't worry, I really have nothing now, but that doesn't mean I can't trade with you."
"Oh?"
Wang Si looked surprised but settled down and asked, "What do you mean, big shot?"
"I can craft equipment for you."
Before Wang Si got excited, Bai Ye raised one finger, "Only one piece, don't get your hopes up."
Wang Si's excitement instantly faded again.
"Big shot, don't be like that! One piece? How much can that do? Why not make a few?"
"I'm not making ordinary weapons. Just one, no more."
"Not ordinary? Could it be..."
Wang Si's face lit up with excitement.
Bai Ye nodded and smiled, "Yes, an Extraordinary weapon."
"Of course, materials are on you, and I'll also charge for special ores. Is that okay?"
"Hahaha, no problem! What problem could there be?"
Wang Si laughed, nodding eagerly.
Having an Extraordinary weapon was a great surprise despite missing the Class Rune.
