Zhang Mu was really dumbfounded this time, because according to what No. 37 said, he now needed to pay a full twenty gold leaves as compensation to No. 37.

However, Zhang Mu is penniless now. All the value in his ring is in those Epochal area goods. Zhang Mu is now almost in a state of pauper.

However, he had never thought about whether he could default on the debt, because in a transaction, favors were not negotiable, not to mention that the merchants of Jiyuan were profit-oriented. If he dared to pretend to agree to it and then fail to pay it back, he would probably have to pay with his life. Zhang Mu still had a chance.

No one can owe Epoch Store a single crystal on credit!

This is a sentence that is of vital importance to all agents and businessmen in all subsequent eras and is regarded as a principle.

As for the other option, Zhang Mu didn't want to think about it. Given the character of Jiyuan merchants, they would not provide any preferential installments to help him repay the loan.

As expected, he heard the indifferent voice of No. 37, "I feel that you are not able to pay 20 Yuanjing now. Since you are back, you must have completed the mission. But even if you have a good harvest, you should have only brought a part of the goods from the Epochal Region. After deducting the gold leaves required for the mission, there should not be much left. I will give you an installment discount for the rest."

"Do you want to pay it off in January? Or March? June? The interest you have to pay each month is one tenth of the total amount you owe. Well, this is the first fine, so I'm giving you a discount. Otherwise, based on past experience, I would usually give you one fifth of the interest rate."

One month, one tenth of the price. According to his intention, he wanted to ask for one fifth of the price. It was really a lion's mouth. Zhang Mu was now thinking about what expression No. 37 would have on his face when he took out all the goods from the Epochal Region in his pocket.

Seeing that Zhang Mu did not respond to him, No. 37 smiled and said, "Do you think my price is too high? But you used me to solve your troubles this time, which should be regarded as saving your life. With your current ability, it is almost impossible to resist his power. If I hadn't helped, you would be a cold corpse now. What do you think? After I put it this way, think about it, isn't it a better deal? Is your life not worth ten gold leaves?"

But Zhang Mu remained silent. In fact, he was calculating this time.

How much profit can he possibly make? When the eleven white jade donkeys are taken out, what kind of incredible look will No. 37 give him?

But No. 37 thought Zhang Mu was worried about these twenty gold leaves. After thinking about it, he took out twenty gold leaves at once. Even if it was a possible installment payment, the pressure was too heavy. He could only sigh helplessly and said, "No. 001, if you still think it's too expensive, I can't do anything about it. Normally, the fine for entering the Jiyuan Store in advance needs to be paid immediately, but I can give you a delay for my share. Now, because you are the first merchant to violate this rule, it's also my fault that I didn't expect that there would be Jiyuan agents returning to their Jiyuan Stores in the first month to complete a transaction, so I didn't mention it to you at once.

How about this, I also have a part of the responsibility, I will bear half, and you will be responsible for the remaining five gold leaves, number 001, so you shouldn't have too many thoughts. As for my sale fee, I will give it to you in three installments, without paying interest, and I can only help you up to this point."

Zhang Mu watched No. 37 talking on and on without interrupting him. In the end, No. 37 reduced the fine he had to pay by five coins.

He responded subconsciously, "Is that fifteen gold leaves in total?"

Number 37 looked at him strangely and said, "Yes, there are fifteen gold leaves in total. Five need to be paid immediately, and ten can be paid in three installments. Pay three gold leaves each in the first two months, and pay the remaining four gold leaves in the last month."

In order to prevent Zhang Mu from worrying, he deliberately patted Zhang Mu on the shoulder and said, "As you complete more tasks, your agent's authority will increase, and the initial funds for the corresponding Epoch Trading Task will also increase further, so the upper limit of the goods you can bring back each time will also increase accordingly.

In this case, ten gold leaves are not much at all."

"So, what Epoch-region goods do you have from Epoch-region stores? I'll sort out the prices for you so you can know if you can afford the fine. If it's not enough, it will have to be deducted from your next mission. I'm also restricted by the rules. If you're unlucky and the Epoch-region goods in the city you choose are not sold at a high price here, it's likely that they will only be a little bit higher than the amount required to complete the mission. In that case, I'm just sorry.

Because the deduction of this fine is automatically drawn by the system

It is beyond my authority and I have no way to control it. "

Zhang Mu naturally knew what he meant, because one of the four Epochal Store branches near Luoyang City had heard that the price in Luoyang City was extremely low, and it seemed to be only 5% higher than the cost. In this case, ten gold leaves could only earn half a gold leaf, and now No. 37 was a little worried that Zhang Mu would choose the Epochal Store in this city as a trading partner like a big black hand.

Zhang Mu's luck in later lives was indeed not very good, but he had something that temporarily surpassed luck in this world, that is, prophecy. Moreover, after his rebirth, his entire luck was completely renewed.

"It's Xi'an."

Zhang Mu's gentle voice seemed like a thunderclap in the ears of No. 37. He was an Epoch Merchant of the Epoch Store, so he naturally knew the selling prices of goods from all over the country in advance. No. 001 actually chose the goods from No. 35, which had the highest selling price among the four nearby cities.

This kid's luck is too good. His elegant temperament was a little out of control at this moment, but he controlled it in time. He looked at Zhang Mu with complicated eyes and said, "I didn't expect your luck to have reached this level. You are worthy of being the first-ranked Epoch Agent of the entire test site."

Number 37 looked at Zhang Mu, seemingly thinking about something, because once might be a coincidence, twice might be luck, but the third and fourth times, the matter would become very complicated.

Seeing No. 37 staring at him like that, Zhang Mu felt a little guilty, but he showed no emotion on the surface and just looked at No. 37.

After a while, No. 37 seemed to have given up the idea of ​​thinking about it, so he slowly said to Zhang Mu, "If the goods you bought were from Xi'an City, then it is very likely that your fine this time would be paid directly, without having to pay in installments, and there might even be some surplus. Because I don't know what kind of luck you have, the price of Xi'an City's Epochal regional goods here is the highest among all the goods in the nearby Epochal stores."

"Okay, take out all the goods you have hidden in the Epoch Merchant's ring, and I'll calculate the price for you."

"Are you ready?" Zhang Mu suddenly asked No. 37 in such a nonsensical way.

Number 37 looked at Zhang Mu in surprise, "Well, what's wrong?"

Zhang Mu said faintly, "Well, okay."
