Chapter 5 The mission
Hearing the price, Kana sobered up instantly, drained the barrel in her hand, and patted her well-developed heart: "It was a close call, I almost agreed..." Then she angrily shouted, "500,000 J? Why don't you just rob it?! Do you know how much I earn from one mission?"
What I mean is, how can you make money quickly by robbing?
What is the concept of 500,000 J? Let's take a few specific examples:
In the original novel, Lucy's house has a monthly rent of 70,000 J, and the rewards for ordinary tasks range from thousands to tens of thousands;
The mission on Devil's Island is an S-level mission, and its reward is 7 million J, plus a golden Protoss key. In other words, the minimum reward for an S-level mission is several hundred thousand.
From this perspective, 500,000 J is just the reward for a few tasks!
Assuming that Kana takes half a month to complete a mission, that means if she really buys Kira's card set, she will probably be "relatively" tight on money for a long time.
What's more, it may not succeed!
"I haven't paid attention to the task board on the first floor for several years. I remember the monthly rent for the girls' dormitory was 100,000 J." Kira tilted his head. "How much is one of your tasks? 300,000 J? Or 100,000 J? I think it can be lower than this, right?"
"This guy really deserves a beating!" Kana and Gray beside her thought at the same time.
Seeing the two people's unfriendly expressions, Kira quickly spoke up: "Hey, what's with that expression? This is a powerful card made by a genius prop master like me! My cards are different from those inferior ones on the market. I can guarantee that you can use this set of cards for at least 7 years! 7 years! With this calculation, 500,000 J per set is a good deal, right?"
Of course it is impossible to use it for 7 years. Once Kana becomes S-level, I can launch new products after a year or two.
Kira would never say such a thing.
However, if Tianlang Island is still closed for 7 years at that time, then it will not be considered as deceiving consumers.
“But, the price is 500,000 J at least, and only 10 cards are too few,” Gray said.
It's not wrong to say that Kana's IQ is far higher than his. It seems that he really has no knowledge of magic props.
So Kira looked at Gray with a look of 'you are really ignorant' and said: "What do you know? For a magician with a possession system, if he has too much equipment, wouldn't it affect the speed of attack in battle?"
"Huh? So that's how it is? I thought the more equipment the better. Doesn't Erza have a lot of armor?"
Kira was beaming with joy: "You don't understand, right? Everyone who plays cards knows that a deck must be simple to be powerful!"
After explaining to Gray, he turned around and continued to say to Cana: "Do you understand, Cana? Card magic is not the ability-based magic like Gray or Natsu. You need to rely on powerful cards! If you keep using cards that are not strong enough, you will never make progress."
Kana was so angry that she laughed: "Huh? You really have the nerve to say that?! The cards I'm using now were not sold to me by you!"
“Uh…” Kana’s words made Kira silent for two seconds, and then he chose to pretend he didn’t hear it, “Face the facts! Kana! From the beginning, you only had one way to become stronger, which was to use money!”
"You're so annoying... ton ton ton..." Kana quickly finished a barrel of wine. After putting it down, she seemed to have thought of something. Her expression suddenly changed and she said with a smile: "How about this, you sell it to me for 30,000 J, and then I'll take a loss and go on a date with you."
After saying that, she shook the two lumps of flesh on her chest and said, "It seems like you have never dated a girl before, do you want to give it a try?"
Gray held his forehead in silence: This guy is not serious again.
I think you are stealing my money by saying this.
Kira gently held Kana's head with both hands and slowly turned it back: "Haha, wishful thinking - poor bastard, go back to your cheap bar and talk to me when you have money."
Want to cheat money? No way!
"Don't you always say you treat your customers equally?"
"Except for the poor!"
"He is indeed a profiteer!" Kana left cursing.
Kira turned around and found that Gray, who was sitting aside watching the fun, had taken off his shirt at some point and thought for a while.
"Gray, how about I help you modify your clothes and add some magic to automatically find people."
"Ah? Where are my clothes?" Gray realized that he had been shirtless without knowing when.
"Don't worry, I'll do it for free this time. I won't charge you any money. It's mainly because you're too annoying."
"No... no need, I don't think there's anything wrong with this."
Kira looked disgusted and said, "Huh... As expected, you are an exhibitionist."
Turned around and left, starting to look for the next client in the guild .
"Bisca, Arzak, you two seem to have a great relationship. When are you planning to get married? By the way, I've just made a few awesome magic guns that will definitely boost your relationship. Find some time to try them out..."
Bisca blushed: Really, we haven't reached that stage yet...
Arzak also didn't dare to look at her: so shy...
Day after day, these two guys only had eyes for each other and didn't listen to a word Kira said.
"Ridasu, you are such a great painter. It's about time you changed your brush after using it for so long. I..."
"No, I'm very satisfied with my current pen..."
"Lebi, you study so hard. Reading for too long is bad for your eyes. Do you want to get a new pair of glasses? The price is only..."
The petite and introverted Lei Bi was always a little shy about such enthusiastic attitude and could only remain silent.
Hmm? No rejection?
Kira climbed up the pole: "Text magic has very high requirements for wizards. You have been using this pen for several months, right? I just made a very powerful magic pen recently. It is very suitable for wizards like you who use three-dimensional text magic. It writes smoothly and gorgeously. Do you want to find time to try it? The price is easy to negotiate. I have always been..."
"You, stay away from Reibi!!" ×2
Two flower protectors emerged from beside Leibi.
"What are you two doing? I'm just selling... Let go, don't pull me..."
"Hmph, you two lickers deserve to be single for the rest of your lives!"
Kira went up to the second floor cursing, "Hey, these guys, I'm obviously doing this for their own good. I even made equipment specifically for them, and the price is not expensive. Why do they all say that I'm a profiteer?"
Erza is still better. Even though she is a bit of a rip-off, she is never vague when buying things.
Is it really because I failed in my verbal combat? I am so tired! Forget it, I will take on a task to change my mood...
Kira walked to the taskbar, glanced at the task board, then raised his index finger and closed his eyes...
"I'll choose whoever the little rooster points to!"
When I opened my eyes, I saw my finger on a task list that looked a little familiar.
[Remove the curse of the island. The location is Karna Island. The reward is 7 million J and a golden key. ]
"Huh? Isn't this..." Kira dug out old memories from his mind, "Oh, this is really interesting."
