Mythical Card Supplier: Starting with Nezha, the Third Lotus Prince

"So what card are you planning to make?"

Mu Qianshan was a bit curious: "Speaking of which, you said you would make a Skill Card for me before, when will that be?"

Mu Qianshan's question suddenly made Jiang Yuan a bit embarrassed.

Because of the freshmen assessment, he seemed to have forgotten about it.

"Let's wait until you can use Purple Quality Cards, then I'll directly make a Purple Quality Skill Card for you."

Jiang Yuan assuredly finished speaking, only to be met with Mu Qianshan's skeptical look.

"You didn't forget, did you?"

"Ha, how could I possibly!"

Jiang Yuan said, then immediately turned to look at a Material Card at a nearby stall.

"How much for this card?"

Jiang Yuan picked up a blue quality Material Card and asked.

Mu Qianshan, standing nearby, pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

"B-grade blue quality Material Card Dark Spirit Flower? Fifty Low Grade Star Spirit Stones."

The stall owner glanced at the card in Jiang Yuan's hand, then told Jiang Yuan.

"Give me a discount. This card sells for fifty Low Grade Star Spirit Stones in the market anyway."

"Besides, this Material Card is not that rare, the Undead Cave Heaven next to Zhongyuan Academy has it, I just didn't want the hassle, otherwise, I would have found it myself."

"You go find it?"

The owner snickered then sized up Jiang Yuan: "If I'm not mistaken, you are merely a late-stage Xingji Card Master, right?"

The owner's tone was confident; without waiting for Jiang Yuan to speak again, he directly stated: "The lowest is forty-five, non-negotiable."

"Forty, and I'll take it, otherwise, I'll look elsewhere. To be honest, a B-grade quality card is still a bit too low."

Jiang Yuan said, and then put the card down.

"The lowest is forty-five, we have costs too." The owner stood up and gestured with his hands.

However, seeing the owner stand up, Jiang Yuan understood that this price was actually possible.

"Alright then, I'll look around some more."

Jiang Yuan said and continued to browse the next stall with the still clueless Mu Qianshan.

The stalls on this street were basically tightly packed together, situated on both sides of the road.

At this moment, the owner was still hesitating, but seeing Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan not even giving him a second glance and continuing to walk forward, the owner couldn't resist calling out.

"Come, come, I'll give it to you, just to open the day's business."

The owner called out loudly to Jiang Yuan, who turned around and came back with Mu Qianshan.

"Let me tell you, I wouldn't have sold it to you for this price if I had been open for business today."

While taking the money, the owner handed over the card to Jiang Yuan and said.

"See if there's anything else you want, let me earn a little less."

"Nothing else, just this will do."

Jiang Yuan shook his head after taking the Material Card.

What a joke, just opened for business now?

If you hadn't been open for business for a day, you wouldn't be sitting here so calmly.

After taking the card, Jiang Yuan continued to look at the next shop with Mu Qianshan.

"Although I thought that fifty Low Grade Star Spirit Stones were already cheap, I didn't expect to be able to get it for even less."

Mu Qianshan walked along, somewhat amazed as he spoke.

"It can be even less."

Jiang Yuan kept looking at various stalls, not looking up as he replied.

For Mu Qianshan, the young master of a large family, haggling is far from his experience.

"Even less? How is that possible!"

"How is it not possible, do you actually believe what he said about not having opened for business?"

"Ah?"

Mu Qianshan was taken aback, then quickly caught on: "Of course, I don't believe what he said!"

"There you go."

Jiang Yuan nodded: "If I said thirty-seven or thirty-eight, he might not sell to me, but if we circled back and haggled a bit more, he'd sell it to me because it means he could make a profit."

"Why?"

Jiang Yuan looked up at the puzzled Mu Qianshan and began to explain.

"If you buy this card in the marketplace, it's fifty Low Grade Star Spirit Stones, how much is the marketplace cut?"

"Typically it's ten percent."

Mu Qianshan looked up at the big building nearby: "But that's our family's market, the Academy's market is probably between ten to twenty percent, I'm not sure."

Although Mu Qianshan didn't know much about the prices of such low-value items, he was very familiar with his family's business.

After all, if he didn't have the talent to become a Fighting Card Master, as the young master, he would naturally have to inherit the family's wealth.

But now, since he has proven his talent, his family would need to choose someone else as the heir.

"Alright, then let's calculate based on ten percent."

"Ten percent of fifty is five, after the marketplace cut, there's forty-five left, then there are some costs and various other store expenses, let's say that adds up to two, then the remaining forty-three, let's say earn five at least? That puts the cost at thirty-eight."

Jiang Yuan clapped his hands, and Mu Qianshan understood: "So to sell to the stores in the marketplace, the card is roughly thirty-eight, and that's why you said it can be taken for thirty-eight, right?"

"Right, but shops in the marketplace, to earn more, naturally press the price, after all, they get more customers than these small stall owners outside, they can sell quicker, and have a bit more security."

After explaining to Mu Qianshan, Jiang Yuan started looking again.

If he could collect all the cards he needed outside, he wouldn't need to go inside the marketplace.
