"What?! Human! How the hell did you manage to get your hands on a dungeon crystal? How is this possible? How do you have something like this?" Tilia's mouth opened up in shock.
With her lips still parted, she stared at Liam and blinked in a daze, no longer in the mood to remain playful.
"I don't have a lot of time, Ms. Tilia. You know that. So let's skip the history lesson. Do you wish to make a trade or not?" Liam once again indifferently asked her.
"I… I…" Tilia stammered as her small chest started rising and falling slowly. She knew very well that she had the upper hand at the moment, and yet, the man in front of her had flipped the table in an instant!
A dungeon crystal? A damned dungeon crystal? How did this human being ever come in possession of something like this?
The fairy's heart drummed loudly as she stared at the dungeon crystal and the human being who was holding it, one after the other.
"Trade or not?" Liam urged her again. However, the woman still looked dazed, so he directly turned around and started walking out of the shop.
Seeing this, Tilia immediately snapped out of her trance and ran behind him, with her feet actually touching the ground.
"Hey! Hey! Wait for a second. Yes. Yes. I am willing to trade. What do you want in return?" She hurriedly appeared in front of him and blocked his path.
Tilia hated this damned human being to the core and wanted to see him suffer and bleed, but as a merchant, she couldn't possibly let this wondrous opportunity slip away from her hands.
She had no idea how this bastard got his hands on something priceless like a dungeon crystal core. It did not matter. Now that she knew it was in his hands, she couldn't afford to lose it!
With this, everything would change! The dungeon core was a freaking money making machine!
She could instantly recuperate all the losses that she had suffered so far. Her shop wouldn't be tossing and turning at rock bottom anymore, and more importantly, the people who looked down on her wouldn't be able to treat her as a joke anymore.
She absolutely needed this! Her whole life could change because of this single trade!
"Tell me quickly! What do you want in return?"
She urged Liam without realizing that she had actually reached forward and grabbed onto his shoulder in a haste. Her slender hands were clutching his dirty clothes, not caring in the least about anything.
Liam, on the other hand, was calm and steady. "I want a guild upgrade."
"Ugh? Huh? A guild upgrade?" Tilia batted her eyes in surprise, a little taken aback by this unexpected ask. This was going to be far easier than she expected?
"Yes, sure. I can do that." She immediately agreed, almost as if she was afraid that the damned human being was going to change his mind.
But Liam had no intentions of doing something like that. Instead, he did elaborate on his terms and conditions a little. "I meant a guild upgrade that opened the option for teleportation."
"A teleportation channel? To where?"
Liam shook his head. "Wait. I meant that I want all the guilds registered in our world at the moment to be upgraded, opening up teleportation portals for everyone to every place."
Tilia froze. She stood still, not moving a muscle.
Liam couldn't tell if she had heard him properly or not, so he started to repeat his words. "I want all the guilds-"
"Stop right there. I heard you, you crazy bastard." Tilia facepalmed.
"You… do you know that you are insane? You are utterly nuts! Do you even have a brain? How could something like this be possible? Do you even know how many mana cores one would need to accomplish something like this? This is insane. How did you even come up with this idea? How did you think that you would be able to do this with one freaking dungeon crystal?"
Tilia completely lost it. She started shouting at Liam without stopping as she couldn't fathom how one human being could be so infuriating!
Upgrading one guild to such a level was doable, perhaps two, and if she was being very honest in making the trade and took a very little cut in the process, then maybe 20 or so, and that too she would be pushing it.
But this guy wanted every single guild in this world? That would amount to hundreds! contemporary romance
Especially because this was the beginning of the apocalypse, all the magic shops around the world would be currently peddling this guild membership like there was no tomorrow.
This was their most commonly used trading technique, or rather, scam, to reap the maximum benefits. But this bastard wanted every single guild to be upgraded to the top level?
That would cost billions and billions of mana cores!
Even though a dungeon crystal was valuable, it was not nearly enough to cover this much cost.
However, before she could finish her lecture and open her mouth to teach the damned human being some common sense, Liam once again reached inside his pocket and took another dungeon crystal.
He placed the two crystals on the desk in front of him and asked again, "Do you think it's possible now?"
Tilia's mouth hung half-open, her brain instantly blanking out. She was about to say something, but she had already forgotten all about it. Only the glittering crystals were in her eyes at the moment.
Two? He actually had two? She couldn't believe it. She even rubbed her eyes and checked if these were really dungeon crystals or just mana cores or something else.
However, no matter what she did, the proof was right in front of her. They were unmistakably dungeon crystals! There was no way she could deny that!
"What is the meaning of this?" Tilia gaped in shock.
