In the world of Legends, the first thing a "merchant" needed to understand was not the value of their own goods, but the positioning of their "business partnerships." Who should a Legendary-level resource be sold to, and who would be willing to buy it? Those were the matters that needed the most careful consideration.
After all, the value of goods could change at any time. Even for every Legendary professional, no commodity ever had a fixed value.
Take the "divinity" in Punk's possession, for example.
Was it rare? Very rare. Most Morningstar Professionals could not get their hands on it.
But was it truly valuable? Not necessarily.
At the very least, without the formula for the Redeemer's Divine Neutralizing Potion, an ordinary Legendary professional would have to be out of their mind to buy something so "useless."
Therefore, hawking goods one considered "rare treasures" was the stupidest kind of business practice. That sort of "business partnership" not only failed to attract genuinely valuable collaborators, but would also draw the covetous eyes of greedy powerhouses.
Such low-level mistakes clearly would not appear in the business career of Mimibes, the "Candy Merchant." When she promoted her "business," she only advertised her willingness to cooperate and never revealed the specific nature of her goods.
Because this shrewd "little merchant" understood very well that "goods" could only yield profit when sold to the "right buyer." Financial transactions at the Legendary tier could never become a marketplace where a crowd picked through wares.
For example, at this very moment, when Punk expressionlessly asked, "What valuable intelligence do you have?" Mimibes neither hurriedly produced a long list of intelligence nor brushed off such an obvious "probe."
Instead, she chose to answer seriously, and... her answer was anything but ordinary.
