I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse



After all, his name wasn't known but his identity was thanks to the bones. When he said these words, it felt like the merchant's mind froze again, and this time his face showed a really dumb and funny expression.

"He is the human who produced these bones and introduced them to the universe," the lady nymph was more amused while toying with this poor merchant. So, she didn't hesitate to show off and confirm Hye's identity, "will you exchange with him or not? We have little time and patience."

Hye gave her a side look but said nothing. He knew she was doing this to not appear as desperate to make this deal, a move that any merchant would see as a red flag for more gains and greed.

"You gotta be kidding me," the merchant finally broke free from the freezing spell, "let me see more bones then. I heard that human have different types of bones, with various strength and might."

"For what?" Hye wanted to take the bones out and further impress this merchant and confirm his identity. And yet he knew he had to gain at least the access to the inner sectors and get what he wanted from the U. stat crystals.

"If you are him, then this place isn't suited for you," the merchant paused, "I can't say much, but you'll gain access to much better sectors. Damn! I hate to see you leave without getting your bones for my goods."

"Then bring me all the U. stat crystals you can get," Hye shrugged, "this is your lucky day. I want as much as you can get me."

"First show me the bones and you can get anything you want," unlike what the lady nymph said, it seemed like the strict rules weren't that strict after all.

"Here," Hye didn't mind taking a sample of his bones. He took out one of each normal bone grade, and a few of the dark realm low grade bones, "are you satisfied now?"

"Damn me! It's really you! Hahahaha! Ok, don't move an inch. I'll go and bring all the crystals I can find, even from other places. Just wait here, ok?"

"Don't worry," Hye laughed, didn't know why this merchant looked this funny while shouting and running at the same time.

"Your bones are indeed magical," the lady nymph shook her head from the side, "he even is going to bend the rules for you."

"That's the power of being wealthy," Hye laughed, enjoying this moment that lasted for an hour. The merchant was really adamant at what he said, and he came back with tons of crystals that he gathered from other places.

"Now, how will we exchange this?" the merchant stopped in front of the bones that Hye still left on the ground, "do you have any idea about the exchange rate?"

"You assess the value of my bones and tell me how much each bone is worth," Hye shrugged, "I won't hustle with you. But if the deal doesn't appeal to me, I'll walk away and look for another place to make the deal."

"No, I won't let you down," the merchant instantly got scared, "let me assess the bones then, give me a minute."

Hye didn't know that the merchant was going to get a cut from this deal. And so, he was determined in seeing it happen, even if the deal wasn't that favourable for his bosses.

What he did was to look for news about the bones, and he found lots of them actually. Using the market interface of a merchant, he could find any news shared by other merchants anywhere in the universe.

The value of the bones varied from one report to another, and they all agreed on determining its value based on the ability to get more anytime later on.

For example, the reports that came from the Toranks empire merchants spoke about little prices compared to other reports from merchants coming from other empires and origins. This made the merchant recall how the Toranks scored it huge by their long-term relation with Hye.

When he recalled this, he couldn't help but wonder why Hye was here asking for these crystals from him, and why he didn't go and ask the Toranks to do it for him.

When he thought about this, he realised that Hye needed these crystals. His greed kicked in at this moment, and yet he hurriedly crushed such spontaneous feelings down.

He knew Hye was in need of these crystals, and it seemed the Toranks didn't want to help him. And yet this merchant needed these bones more than anyone else.

Having bones in the world of merchants was like a certificate of power and authority. He'd gain tons of benefits back to these bones. And he knew he wasn't going to be the only person here with such bones.

So the more he gained the better. He thought about many things in a short time, and finally he gave Hye a very good deal.

"I like that," Hye agreed on the spot over what the merchant said. In return for hundreds of thousands of crystals, he'd use just a few hundreds of normal bones, one figure only of his dark realm bones.

It was much better than having nothing. And knowing how the true value of these crystals laid in how hard it was to secure them, Hye knew this merchant did give him a very interesting deal.

"I got billions of crystals, let's do it! And if you need more, you can give me more time and I'll bring you ten folds of this!"

"Deal!" Hye didn't want to struggle again to get these crystals. Having such a huge number might look awesome, but comparing this with the endless number of his kingdom forces and people made this amount dwindle in value.

He needed not only billions of crystals, but also billions of billions if he could. The more he got, the stronger his people would be.
