Weapon seller in the world of magic

Chapter 12 Bargain

Genesis weapon store, Imperial City;

"Sigh… One whole week has passed and only two sales except for bullets. At this rate, it might even take a year to complete the main quest," Mark rests his chin on the table with a disappointed look.

He glanced at the quests.

Main Quest: Sell 100 Single-shot Pistols (In progress-5%)

Reward: Single-shot firearms unlock

Side Quest (1): Earn 100 gold coins from selling the weapons (In progress-64%)

Reward: System store

Side Quest (2): Sell 10 Single-shot Pistols (In progress-50%)

Reward: Revolver

"Well, at least, due to that riche girl's purchase of bullets, I'm near to completing the first side quest." Letting out another sigh, Mark continued to watch the entrance in the hopes of getting a wealthy customer.

"Man, designing a nuclear warhead is a lot easier than selling these weapons here. My goal of taking the revenge is going further away as days passed…" *Sigh*

At such a moment, a short and fat middle-aged fellow in decent clothes entered the shop.

"Big brother, a customer." As usual, the Android was quick to report to his master.

Looking at the long-bearded bald man who was wearing clothes made of cotton, Mark lost his interest. He knew what was going to happen, next.

"Allen, take care of the customer," Mark spoke in a lazy tone as he turned his head, resting his cheek on the counter.

Two weeks ago, when he first opened the store, Mark displayed enthusiasm, at least on the outside to every customer.

However, after being called a scammer by so many customers, he eventually lost interest and let the Android do the greetings.

In the past three days, except for Song Yue, he rarely displayed his bright smile in front of customers.

"Hmm?" The fatty frowned as he saw Mark's behavior.

"Welcome to Genesis weapon store. May I know what you are looking for?" Allen, the Android received the customer in his usual emotionless tone.

"Oh! Yes. My friend introduced me to the store. I came for those pistols. That's what they are called, right?" He said to the Android.

Mark's ears perked up upon hearing his words. He turned his head and looked at him curiously. He wondered which friend.

"Is it Song Yue?" Mark threw the thought away as he felt it is unlikely for such a person to be friends with such a beauty who was from a rich household.

So, he wondered whether it is those two beginner adventurers from three days ago.

"My name is Huo Fen. I'm a merchant from the Western Yan"

Mark immediately sat up as soon as he heard that the customer is a merchant.

He listened to the fatty middle-aged man's story carefully.

"Through a caravan, I set out towards this city to sell my goods and make a profit. But, who could have expected that we would face bandits on the outskirts of the city?

By luck, a couple of teenagers, who were passing by the area, saved us from harm. In the past twenty years, I have roamed every city located in this giant Empire but I have yet to find such a unique ranged weapon."

Walking towards the shelves where the pistols are displayed, he looked at them in admiration, "these weapons are unlike anything I have ever seen in my life."

He then turned his head towards Mark who sat straight unlike before, "I heard that they cost five gold coins. I wonder if I can get any discount if I purchase in bulk. I won't ask for much. Can you give me 12 pistols for 50 gold coins?"

"Discount?" Mark was taken aback by the customer's bargain. He doesn't know what to do as he never faced this kind of situation.

*Ding! System doesn't allow bargains. If the host accepts the deal, it will be considered as a gift and the host will not receive his 10% share.

A part of him felt like it is unfair for him to pay from his own pocket for a stranger.

At the same time, another part of him was excited to sell them in bulk to finish his mission and activate the revolver and System store.

As Mark fell into deep thoughts, the customer waited for his decision.

After thinking for a long time, once again, a bright smile appeared on Mark as he said, "Mr. Huo, I can accept the deal if you purchase the bullets in bulk."

"Bullets?" It was Huo Fen's turn to be taken aback by surprise.

"Just like a bow needs an arrow, you need a bullet for the pistol to shoot the target. The bullets fired from this pistol will be able to kill mortals or 1-circle spirit warriors and even injure heavily even those of 2-circle realm as long as they don't belong to the path of a fighter." Mark repeated the explanation of the same thing he gives to every customer.

Mark further said while showing the 9mm lead bullet, "each of these costs 20 silver coins, and they can only be used for once."

However, unlike other customers, Huo Fen's eyes only lit up in excitement, "If this guy from the poor neighborhood has a monopoly on this weapon, does that mean the bullets can only be bought from this shop. That means I will have a monopoly in other kingdoms if I play my cards right."

"Give me twenty bullets per pistol. Since I'm buying in bulk, I hope I would get a discount on this too. 240 bullets and 12 pistols for 90 gold coins. Deal?" Huo Fen tried to bargain once again.

"40 bullets and 2 pistols. That means 18 gold coins of loss. Hmm…" Mark felt like losing such an amount isn't bad when compared to the benefits of completing the mission.

Mark nodded with a smile, "deal."

"Allen, bring 12 of those Single-shot pistols here." After ordering the Android, he took out two boxes filled with 100 bullets each and then, filled the rest of the forty in another empty box.

*Ding! The single-shot pistol has been sold. 4 gold and 50 silver coins have been deducted.

While Allen was helping out the customer in placing them in the cart, Mark was grinning from ear to ear as he opened the Quest panel.
