Godlike Player in a Game-Like World

Raydon eventually emerged from the dark cave and returned to the familiar underground market that appeared to be straight out of a fantasy novel. He went straight to Fang's shop this time, not looking around at the other stalls. The first thing he wanted to do was sell the things he had.

Raydon was once more greeted by the same scene as soon as he walked into the store. The only thing that was different was that there were more boxes scattered about, and they contained different materials in addition to various monster parts from various monsters that were displayed on shelves. The only significant difference was that this time, there was a stranger working on the counter.

''Hm? Do you need anything? '' Out of the corner of his eye, the salesman at the counter asked Raydon before returning to the book he was currently reading.

''Yes, I want to sell a few things. '' Raydon continued after taking a quick look around as if looking for something. ''There was another person here the last time I came. ''

Raydon had no idea who Fang was or what his name was, but he was wise enough to realize that he didn't usually work here. He'd only asked to try his luck because Fang had been extremely helpful in selling his items, and Raydon wanted to do business with him again.

''Someone else? I am the sole employee here. Your memory must be inaccurate. '' The man returned to his book after casting another glance at Raydon.

"I suppose I have no other option,"  After some consideration, Raydon walked up to the counter.

He then began bringing all the pieces he had amassed from the mobs he had killed in his previous match from his dimensional storage to the counter. The man looked calmly at what Raydon had pulled out at first, but then a look of surprise crept across his face.

On the counter, Raydon had arranged about 60 mob components in total. Normally, this wouldn't surprise the man because any item holder could sell that much stuff, even if only occasionally. However, what was strange about this situation was that these items all belonged to the same type. Snow rabbit, frozen lake flowers, and white wolf.

The man suddenly stood up and turned to face him as he saw Raydon place the Frost Troll's parts on the counter.

'Who is this young man, exactly?  Killing so many mobs in one match and the Region Boss on top of it? ' After briefly displaying his surprise, the man quickly concealed it.

''17 snow rabbits, 391 gold coins including ice-type life cores, 33 white wolves, 759 gold coins including life cores. '' The man quickly calculated, then paused before continuing.  '' Frozen lake flowers, huh? There aren't many item holders selling these anymore. 125 gold coins for each flower, and for ice-type life cores, 13 gold coins, the same as the others. Total of 828 gold coins for 6 of them. ''

''And they all make 1978 gold coins in total. '' The man did his math and said, looking at Raydon.

''Deal. ''

''And as for that. '' The man said, pointing to parts of the Frost Troll. ''Ice-type E-Rank life core 140 gold coins and 425 gold coins for the parts, 565 gold coins in total. Are you okay with that? ''

''Yeah. ''

Raydon agreed without bargaining. He didn't think he could bargain here anyway. In the item market, it appears that this was the last place to con someone.

After receiving the gold coins from the man, Raydon put them in his own gold satchel, bringing his total gold to 16,514.

Raydon contemplated for a while before deciding to sell Pauldron as well. Regardless, Helen's knee pads that he looted had a movement-type skill and were much superior to the pauldron.

[Pauldron.]

-Grade: White

-Quality: Normal

-Skill: Rush

When activated, it allows the user to run forward up to 2 meters with 50% speed increase.

-Mana cost: 5

-Duration: Maximum distance of 2 meters.

-Cooldown: 45 seconds.

After inspecting the pauldron, the man said. ''Considering the quality of the skill it possesses, it has a pretty fancy appearance. I offer 950 gold coins. ''

Raydon agreed after hearing the price and assumed it was reasonable. Given its shiny color alone, very few people would actually want to use it.

The man handed over the gold coins once more and then inquired, "Anything else?"

Raydon appeared to have made up his mind after giving it some thought when he pulled out an oval-shaped piece of ice and showed it to the man.

''What do you think about this? '' The body enchantment ''ice veins'' were the thing Raydon displayed this time.

He'd gotten a lot of information from Fang before, and he hoped this man would do the same. Body enchantments had so many hidden features and disadvantages that it would be foolish to use them unknowingly. So gathering as much information about them as possible was critical.

This time, the man didn't seem surprised to see the body enchantment. After all, he now knew Raydon's team had killed the Region Boss.

''What do I think about this, huh? '' Raydon's intention in posing this question without directly asking the price was understood by the man.

He picked up the item and gave it a close look.

[Ice Veins]

-Grade: White

-Quality: N/A

-Skill: Body Enchantment

Increases mana regeneration by 10% by modifying the wearer's veins.

''Hmm, it's a good item for spirit build item holders. It also has a hidden attribute that increases defense against the cold, which is useful for elementalist item holders. But, the drawback is that they will be extremely unstable to heat. It can slightly improve the user's skills if they are an ice-type item holder, but if they are a fire-type, they even run the risk of self-immolation. ''

The man had fulfilled Raydon's expectations by providing him with the information he was looking for. Although Raydon had essentially guessed these, it was still wise to be certain.
