Seeing Zhang Mu lost in thought, No. 37 changed the subject and said with a smile, "That's all I can say. So, tell me your answer now. Are you willing to be my agent?"
Now, these words spoken by this humane No. 37 once again made Zhang Mu's heart explode. Questions lingered in his mind one after another for a long time.
It turns out that the Jiyuan Caravan is a partner of the people behind Ji Le, so who are “they”?
He mentioned dozens of spaces. Is there more than one testing ground?
And the Eliminators, is that the real name of those zombies out there? Are all the monsters Eliminators at each level?
The thought only took a short moment. Zhang Mu looked at No. 37, nodded decisively, and said affirmatively, "I do."
Seemingly satisfied with Zhang Mu's decisiveness, No. 37 gently flicked his long golden hair and smiled, "I know you are a smart person."
"Then the Epoch Contract is signed, the merchant's ring is bound, numbered 001, and stored in the caravan file."
A dark and simple ring suddenly appeared on Zhang Mu's ring finger. Before he could take a closer look to see if there was any difference between it and his previous ring, the voice of No. 37 sounded again.
"Epoch Cube, open."
No. 37 shook his crimson blue robe, and a small Rubik's Cube flew out from his long sleeves, hanging in the air, glowing with magical light.
After a second, the magic cube stopped floating on its surface, and the original white light column suddenly shrank, injecting all the energy into the magic cube. Instantly, the magic cube in the air glowed brightly, and its size continued to grow, covering the position where the two were.
The Rubik's Cube was hollow and transparent. Zhang Mu felt as if he was wrapped in a magical bubble.
Everything around Zhang Mu disappeared, replaced by a messy star map.
Above his head, under his feet, and in all directions, everything turned into a vast sea of stars. Each star dotted in the distance was obviously very far away from him, but Zhang Mu could clearly sense their uniqueness.
It's a miracle!
This time Zhang Mu was really stunned.
This was the first time Zhang Mu enjoyed this treatment. For the next ten years, he was just a list projection and a cold, robot-like No. 37 doing business with him. But he had heard those merchants with higher numbers mention it before, and it turned out that their descriptions at that time were quite conservative.
It seems that he is staring at Zhang Mu, an aboriginal.
Accustomed to being dumbfounded, No. 37 smiled faintly and did something that completely stunned Zhang Mu.
I saw No. 37 waving his sleeves, and his palm stretched out steadily from the sleeves. He gently clenched his hands, and a rumbling sound was heard in the direction of his palms.
Zhang Mu also looked in the direction of the sound, and suddenly he discovered that the stars there were actually all rushing towards Zhang Mu and the other person.
Seeing dozens of spherical objects coming towards him, Zhang Mu subconsciously tried to dodge, but found that they disappeared in an instant. When he turned around again, the stars just now turned into small planets, lined up between the two of them.
"Now is the first day of a new era. You probably don't know what Yuanjing is or how to collect it, so you can only start the trading mission of goods in the era area.
Let me briefly introduce the specific process of the task to you.
All trainee agents start with four gold leaves as the starting capital for trading. You are my first agent, so you enjoy a 20% discount on your first transaction. But you are also the first epoch agent of the entire 47th Test Field, so you enjoy a 50% discount on your first transaction cumulatively. "
Now, Zhang Mu finally understood why those agents with higher numbers could dominate the market in the early stage. This was not a starting point at all. You should know that although the Epoch Merchants would not tell you, the first Epoch Goods transaction was definitely a sure win.
With a gentle sweep, No. 37 picked up two lavender planets from among the many planets and gestured to Zhang Mu, "This is Luoyang peony buds, one bunch, worth one gold leaf, quantity ten.
The other one is a Yellow River carp, one, worth half a gold leaf, quantity twenty.
You can consider exchanging all of them, or keep some of the gold leaves as a backup. After all, you should also know that in business, profits and losses are at your own risk, and the bottom line for you to complete the task is to ensure that you have at least ten gold leaves after selling the goods from the Epochal Region to me, and the maximum time limit for a task is half a year. "
Number 37 gave Zhang Mu some time to think, but Zhang Mu was already overjoyed and couldn't wait to say, "Do you want to exchange them all? I want eight bunches of Luoyang peony buds. I'll take them all."
Who is Zhang Mu? A hard-working businessman who survived the turbulent times purely by relying on data statistics and accumulated experience. Coupled with the regret for his first wrong choice, he has been thinking about these things for a long time, such as what goods sell well and where to sell them in the early days of the new era.
Later generations
When it came to him, there were only two bunches of Luoyang peony buds left at No. 37. He only dared to ask for one bunch. For the rest, he only bought two Yellow River carps and kept a gold leaf as a backup.
Because at that time, he was frightened by the cold voice of machine No. 37 and felt really unsure.
But in fact, other businessmen also did the same thing to avoid risks. However, when Zhang Mu went through many hardships and arrived at another nearby area, he saw the purchase price of Luoyang Peony Core. He regretted it so much that he could not bear to look back.
Although there were no loss-making transactions in the early days of the new era, compared with the meager 20% profit from the Yellow River carp, the profit of Luoyang Peony Core was more than twice its principal.
So this time, he took away most of the Luoyang peony core stock at No. 37. However, if the four merchants behind him in Luoyang knew what he had done and the huge profits of Luoyang peony core, they would probably be in tears.
Although he was very puzzled by Zhang Mu's decisiveness, after all, he did not tell Zhang Mu that his first business was a sure win, but No. 37 did not ask any more questions. He was as professional as ever when discussing the deal.
"Okay, the gold leaves have been automatically deducted. Put eight bunches of Luoyang peony stamens in a fixed center position of the merchant's ring. You can check it yourself with your mind, but the goods from the Epoch Region are not in the Epoch Shop, so you can't take them out.
As for other things, including Epoch Universal Goods, you can deposit and withdraw twice a day, which is considered a benefit for agents."
Zhang Mu was thinking about checking the ring in his mind, and sure enough, his thoughts were directly immersed in the ring. The space inside was several times larger than the original one he had.
In the center of the ring, eight elegant Luoyang peonies were quietly placed, enveloped by a golden light shield. However, Zhang Mu knew that this was just the condensation of the local spiritual energy.
“Okay, you should understand your mission. As for the Epoch Universal Goods, you probably don’t have the ability to exchange them now.
Because it is the beginning of the era, I will keep the Era Shop open until I have five agent merchants. But it will take a month before I open the shop to the same person again. You can also collect Yuanjing during this time and then trade with me. "
No. 37's voice brought Zhang Mu back to his senses. He listened to him silently, then he coughed dryly and looked straight at No. 37 and said.
"According to you, if I have Yuanjing now, can I directly exchange those universal goods of the era?"
