Mu Hua summoned Becero to the remote forest on the edge of the town. After confirming that Becero could indeed get a lot of things that were difficult to sell in the human world, Mu Hua no longer haggled with Becero about the price of the items.
The fact that he got the Philosopher's Stone relatively easily was one reason, but the main reason was that he could use Besero more freely in the future, and it was impossible for Mu Hua not to give the other party some benefits.
As for the devilish merchants, they will only behave themselves if they get a bargain. The so-called customer is God is basically nonsense. Only when they make a lot of money can they see everyone as God. . .
After some communication, Mu Hua asked about the price of magic cores. Upon asking, he found out that the price of magic cores in hell was similar to that in the human world, or even slightly more expensive.
Although there are countless monsters in hell and the world is full of fighting and plundering, even adult monsters can directly assist in their cultivation by eating magic cores.
Magic cores are nutrients that help the growth of monsters that have not reached their natural growth limit. The monsters in hell reproduce and die in large numbers, and there are countless monsters in the "developmental stage".
After a demon war, some magic cores are eaten during the battle, and some are eaten when cleaning the battlefield. After that, the bosses give some to their demon soldiers and generals, and finally there are no magic cores left.
The consumption of magic cores in hell is much greater than that in the human world, which also leads to the fact that the price of magic cores in hell is almost the same as that in the human world.
In this regard, Besero left Mu Hua no room for bargaining. At most, he could get some high-level magic cores that were difficult to obtain in the human world more easily from Besero.
And for this, Mu Hua felt a little happy...
"One Philosopher's Stone can be exchanged for one hundred Level 7 Magic Cores, but can only be exchanged for one Level 9 Magic Core?" Mu Hua asked dissatisfiedly, but he was a little happy in his heart.
"Sir, the difference between level 7 and level 9 is not just a number. Most level 9 monsters that are close to the upper levels have strong survivability."
"For monsters that surpass level seven, their strength can no longer be determined solely by their attributes. Level nine magic cores in your human world are probably in short supply." Besero was not intimidated.
When a monster reaches level nine, even if it does not have strong racial talents, it will often learn a set of difficult combat skills and magic during its long growth.
A situation like Tuesday, where he was pushed up directly by Mu Hua with the Philosopher's Stone, is definitely a special existence. In hell, he must have at least been born directly from the belly of a higher-level demon. It is impossible for him to be laid from an egg.
Not to mention the role of the ninth-level magic core in the production of magic props, it is a food that helps the growth of most upper-level demons, and its price is naturally not comparable to the seventh-level magic core, which is neither high nor low.
Mu Hua was certainly aware of these situations. Even Besero, a demon merchant, did not have a ready-made ninth-level magic core. What Mu Hua valued at this stage was actually the seventh-level magic core.
There are basically no magic stones circulating in Hell, and the price of magic cores is much higher than that of magic stones. When Mu Hua smelts magic cores, the option of skill stones will basically appear, which is why Mu Hua would not buy magic cores to smelt in the past.
But if he could use the Philosopher's Stone to exchange for a large number of magic cores from Becerro, then Mu Hua wouldn't mind improving his skills.
At this stage, it would be fine if the ninth-level magic core could not produce high-level magic. If it were to melt a high-level skill stone, Mu Hua's attributes would probably not be up to standard.
A level seven magic core is considered to be in the advanced ranks, and the probability of melting out intermediate magic is not low. It is just right for Mu Hua now, and the price is just right.
"Okay, let's do as you said. Level nine magic cores are hard to come by. But a level seven magic core sold in the human world is only five hundred demon gold coins. Your offer is too steep." Mu Hua said to Besero.
“Sir, what do you think the quality of the seventh-level monsters that can descend in person is? Magic cores are not magic stones. Even the same seventh-level magic cores can have very different qualities.” Besero shook his head, looking disdainful of the seventh-level magic cores in the human world.
Mu Hua could understand what Besero said. Humans generally classified monsters with attributes over 600 as level seven monsters. Whether it was an armored horned boar, a goblin general, or an Atkra, they were all counted as level seven. However, these three were obviously not in the same league.
Mu Hua knew that the quality of the magic core had an impact on the refining of the magic stone, but he was not sure what effect the quality of the magic core had on the smelting of the skill stone. After all, some low-level monsters would also give him some abilities whose effectiveness was difficult to judge.
However, if he had a choice, he certainly didn't want Besero to lower the quality of the magic core and give him some "inferior products". At this time, Mu Hua did not refute Besero's statement.
"In that case, I'll trade the magic core with you using devil gold coins." Mu Hua said, no longer actively arguing about the price.
"This..." Besero was in a dilemma. He could sell the Philosopher's Stone, so he didn't want the Demon Coins. He could earn Demon Coins from anywhere.
"One hundred and fifty. I'll increase the number of level seven magic cores to one hundred and fifty." Besero said hesitantly.
"Two hundred. Give me all the level six and seven magic cores you have. I will charge you the price of level seven this time. From now on, two hundred level seven magic cores will be exchanged for one philosopher's stone."
Mu Hua waved his hand generously. For a moment, Besero only saw an impatient look on Mu Hua's face. He habitually put on a smile on his face, which was regarded as agreeing with Mu Hua's statement.
"You have made a profit from the two hundred pieces. Don't think I don't know that trading the Philosopher's Stone will be more beneficial to your growth." Mu Hua reminded him, and the embarrassment on Becerro's face gradually subsided.
"Of course, dear sir, your generosity is Besero's greatest motivation." Besero jokingly bowed to Mu Hua, and while speaking, he took out two large bags filled with magic cores from the space ring.
An ordinary animal hide bag, one bag of level six magic cores, one bag of level seven magic cores, a total of just over 800 pieces, not a lot. It seemed that it had never planned to trade magic cores in large quantities with humans before.
"Sir, I have also inquired about the price of the Demon King's brain for you." "It is quite expensive, about one hundred Philosopher's Stones." After handing the magic core to Mu Hua, Besero pocketed a few Philosopher's Stones with satisfaction, and without waiting for Mu Hua to speak, he hurriedly explained.
"Although there is no market for the Demon King's Brain Region, we need to find a master to make it specifically for us."
"Because of the difficulty and time-consuming nature of the craft, those lazy people don't like to make the Demon King's Brain. Even if I hadn't proposed trading it for the Philosopher's Stone, those lazy people wouldn't even want to take this kind of order," Besero explained.
"No, master, you don't need the demon king's brain. Those magical lives are of no value to you. If you really want to have fun, buying some magic brains is enough." Before Mu Hua opened his mouth, Monday became a little impatient.
These are one hundred Philosopher's Stones. The more important problem is that even if magical life forms are created, they can also eat the Philosopher's Stones.
Thinking about Tuesday's arrogant look, Monday felt that it should persuade its owner to use the Philosopher's Stone for the right purposes.
For example, raising a Cerberus, wouldn’t that be great?
Facing the angry Monday, Mu Hua patted its head soothingly, but before Monday could be happy, Mu Hua's words made it drop its tail again.
"Get me two first, but your offer is too high. Two hundred philosopher's stones, two demon brains, and three hundred sets of lich suits for me. If it doesn't work out, forget it for now." Mu Hua said to Becerro.
Mu Hua can build 320 Dragon Tooth Soldiers and equip each Skeleton Mage with a Dragon Tooth Soldier as a guard, so he also plans to gather 300 Skeleton Mages first, and this Lich Set is for the Skeleton Mages.
The Demon King’s brain is not cheap, and Ikaros hasn’t been fully nurtured yet. Although there are many young ladies in his mind that symbolize youth, Mu Hua’s resources are limited for the time being. He can’t just create them to vent his animal desires without caring about anything else. . .
The Hell Lich Set is quite famous. Although it can only be considered as high-level equipment, it is quite practical and human imitations are also very popular among necromancers.
If Besero disagrees, Mu Hua will not be in a hurry to get the Demon King's brain for the time being. It is enough for him to know that the demon merchant can get it. He can buy it when he has the conditions in the future.
"Three hundred sets of lich suits, without staffs." Besero did not refuse outright, but said thoughtfully.
"A staff with an intermediate magic storage function only needs the magic storage function." Mu Hua shook his head.
His skeleton wizard does not need a very good staff. Magic can be learned with skill stones, and spellcasting can be practiced day and night. Carrying a staff to increase combat endurance and make him look more realistic.
"Just the magic storage function? Hmm... or you can add some philosopher's stones and I will equip you with an advanced magic storage function." Besero's calculating look made Mu Hua roll his eyes.
"Two hundred Philosopher's Stones, high-level magic storage, and magic crystals are fine, but they must be sturdy. I'll give you a hundred as a deposit, and you can prepare more magic cores and materials for the youth potion when you go back."
Mu Hua made the final decision, and faced with the one hundred philosopher's stones handed over by Mu Hua, Besero suppressed what he wanted to say.
It's a bit of a loss, the trading rules are very strict even for the devil, you can cheat, but robbing doesn't belong to the trading category, and you can't 'brush up'.
In other words, no matter whether Mu Hua deliberately added the Philosopher's Stone to it, or it deliberately sold Mu Hua things cheaply, it would not be able to grow.
But the loss this time is not unbearable. The mall is also holding a reward activity. Even if the loss is deducted, completing this transaction may bring about an evolution.
Besero thought about it in his mind, then nodded with a smile on his face.
"Dear Mr. Mu Hua, as for weapons and equipment, do you not need to buy anything else? I can also get some good equipment for the warriors." After receiving the deposit, Besero ignored Monday's jealous and frustrated look and made another recommendation to Mu Hua.
"Let's leave it at that for now. I plan to hang out in the courtyard for a while." Mu Hua refused.
There is no end to the shopping. There are also drops in the courtyard. The good things are useless at this stage, and Mu Hua is not sure what he is missing for the worse ones.
There are several guys in his family who can treat the Philosopher's Stone as a panacea, so he also needs to continue hoarding the Philosopher's Stone and wait until he has a specific need.
"By the way, do you know what the ancient scam is?" After talking about the transaction, Mu Hua briefly described to Becerro the situation he had encountered earlier in Yongye Territory.
"Ancient hoax? Well... in your human words, it should be love." After a little thought, Besero looked at Mu Hua with a strange expression. Mu Hua actually saw emotions in his eyes similar to those of Queen Medusa.
Curiosity, amusement, anticipation, and a little bit of schadenfreude.
"Love?" What the hell is this? Mu Hua questioned whether he had misunderstood what Besero wanted to express.
"That's right, love. Sweet, beautiful, selfless devotion, worry-free plunder, a scam from ancient times." Besero affirmed.
