"Boss, wasn't it supposed to be 1.2 million? How come it's become 1.3 million?"
Erza slammed the money pouch she was holding heavily onto the counter.
This one move immediately made the boss's muscles tense up.
Even Bai Yu, who was in a daze, came to his senses.
Although, we don't know how far the plot has progressed.
However, now that he had determined what kind of world it was, Bai Yu was confident that he could get out of this instance.
It can be said that Bai Yu now faces only one problem: survival.
At the same time, how can we improve the strength of the Sword Saint Template to give us more confidence in clearing levels?
Erza's appearance is also a breakthrough point.
"Ahem, Erza, you are S-Class Mage, you should be well aware that the prices of magical materials have been fluctuating wildly lately, and we set our prices according to market changes."
"Besides, the last time you came was a month ago, such a long time ago. It's too difficult for you to make me sell it for 1.2 million again."
"Moreover, you archmages earn money countless times faster than we ordinary citizens."
The shopkeeper explained with a forced smile, clearly showing no concern for Erza's identity.
According to Bai Yu's memory, the world of Fairy Tail was indeed teeming with mages.
However, there are also some powerful forces that act as a check and balance.
The Magic Council is a sword hanging over the heads of mages.
Fairy Tail is one of the top ten guilds.
With its many outstanding mages, it has always been a top choice for posting bounty missions.
It's safe to say that for an ordinary S-Class Mage, earning tens of millions a year is not a problem.
However, in addition to possessing outstanding mages, Fairy Tail Guild also boasts exceptional destructive capabilities in mission execution.
Every mission they undertake results in massive unrest and destruction.
Among them was the feat of destroying half a town.
After each incident, Makarov, as the chairman, had to personally pay compensation and clean up the mess.
It's fair to say that after such outrageous actions, Fairy Tail ended up with mostly negative bounties.
Furthermore, due to the frequent disruptions caused during missions, he was directly summoned and criticized by the Magic Council.
Given this premise, Erza's willingness to spend 1.2 million to buy this armor set is enough to demonstrate her true love for it.
"Boss, is there really no way to get a discount?"
Erza hesitated before speaking.
This hesitant expression immediately brought a glimmer of joy to the boss's eyes. He quickly put on a pained expression and shook his head.
"No, 1.3 million is already too low. I just told you, someone else offered 1.4 million."
"However, considering you're a long-time customer who usually keeps a lot of armor here for maintenance, I'll offer a discount of 10,000. 1.29 million, just bring it out and we'll close the deal."
After saying that, the boss became completely unmoved by reason.
Erza paused, seemingly wanting to say something but unable to, and simply didn't know what to say.
As an S-Class Mage, Erza believed that she could take on a hundred enemies single-handedly if she were sent to fight.
However, there's really nothing I can do about asking her to bargain.
However, the thought of not having a set of flying armor made Erza grit her teeth and decide to go back to the guild to borrow money.
A figure quickly stepped forward and grabbed Erza's arm.
Erza's expression changed instantly, and all her nerves and muscles tensed up.
In that brief moment, she hadn't noticed anyone approaching from behind.
The feeling was as if there were no sound at all, without even the slightest magical fluctuation or aura.
If Erza hadn't seen the figure appear beside her with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that anyone was there based solely on her senses.
The only thing that made Erza feel fortunate was that this person didn't show the slightest bit of malice.
Otherwise, if the other party had been determined to launch a sneak attack, she would probably have suffered a great deal of pain in that instant.
" Erza, I didn't expect to run into you here."
Bai Yu smiled and patted Erza's arm.
"Boss, as you just said, Erza is a regular customer of your shop. She even has her magical armor maintained here. This is a long-term business opportunity, a true steady stream of revenue."
"Moreover, the presence of an S-Class Mage is something that even a hundred of me, a nobody, couldn't possibly match."
"Since this is a big client, you should be more generous. I have 10,000 here. Adding Erza's 1.2 million, you can just part with the armor."
"Of course, you can grit your teeth and refuse to give up, but that doesn't align with the principle of slow and steady business growth. Boss, you're a smart man; we have plenty of options."
Erza was stunned for a moment, never expecting that Bai Yu would immediately put 10,000 yuan on the table as soon as he appeared, directly bargaining down the price for her.
However, considering that haggling is my strength and bargaining is my weakness, I decided to take advantage of the situation.
Since someone was willing to offer help, Erza temporarily abandoned any other ideas.
Moreover, while Erza may not know how to bargain, that doesn't mean she's not smart.
Seeing Erza suddenly calm down, the boss almost jumped up and punched Bai Yu twice.
However, when she thought about Bai Yu's business acumen and Erza's emotional fluctuations, she hesitated.
The boss instantly realized that this fat sheep, whom he had been leading by the nose, had completely broken free.
If we continue to argue about this, it might backfire.
They might even lose their business of maintaining magical weapons and armor.
With that in mind, the shopkeeper glared at Bai Yu, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Alright, alright, considering how much business sense you have, I'll reluctantly sell it."
"By the way, didn't you just say you were going to use that ten thousand yuan to buy some crappy weapons? You wouldn't be planning on..."
"Hehe, boss is indeed wise. Since I helped you close a big deal, it's only natural that you give me a commission and a little something extra."
"But don't worry, boss, I'll only look through the cheap stuff."
As he spoke, Bai Yu turned and walked towards the weapon rack in the corner.
Bai Yu no longer holds much hope for the bargains he found in Loguetown in the past.
After all, this is a shop that specializes in selling magical weapons.
Bai Yu didn't believe that this shrewd boss would let someone pick up a bargain right under his nose.
"You want a weapon? A magical weapon?" Erza was taken aback, clearly not understanding why this boy had suddenly offered his help.
However, since the other party offered their help, she was able to obtain the armor she had always dreamed of.
Erza couldn't help but ask another question.
"No, ordinary weapons are sufficient in the hands of a strong person."
