"Do you have a Space Ring?" Gravis asked.

Whoop!

A Space Ring appeared in front of him. "Please put the things you want to trade inside and give me an offer," the clerk said.

Gravis took ahold of the Space Ring and dumped all the ore he was supposed to trade inside. Then, he pushed it to the clerk. "50,000 Immortal Stones," he said.

The clerk looked with quite some surprise at Gravis. That was a lot of money, but some people always thought that the things they had were worth far more than they actually were.

The clerk looked into the Space Ring and was surprised by the amount of ore. After that, he frowned.

"The best I can do is 25,000," he said.

Gravis raised an eyebrow when he heard that. The goal his mother had set for him was 60,000, which would be about 80% of the retail value of his ore. Usually, shops bought resources at 70% of their retail value. After all, they had to store them, which cost money and sell them. 30% profit without the added cost was the usual.

Gravis had already made an offer of 66% of the retail value, which was very generous for the shop. Yet, this guy was lowballing him with 33% of the retail value.

"50," Gravis said. "That is 66% of the retail value."

The clerk frowned. "That is incorrect. The prices recently changed, and I'm offering you 65% of the retail value."

Gravis looked at the clerk, and surprisingly, Gravis felt no sense of falsehood from him. The clerk was something like two levels stronger than Gravis, but Gravis' Will-Aura was far more powerful. He should be able to see through any falsehoods. Yet, the clerk appeared completely truthful.

Gravis frowned. The clerk wasn't lying, but his mother had quoted a different price. Something was up.

"50," Gravis repeated.

The clerk sighed. "Okay, I can go up to 27, but that is my limit. We have to store all of this ore, and it will take us a long time to sell all of it. There are only so many heirs to a powerful person in this city that require equipment."

"50," Gravis repeated.

The clerk looked at the ring, sighed, and pushed it back to Gravis. "Sorry, I can't accept this trade. Please retrieve your items."

Gravis looked into the Space Ring, and his eyes shone.

Gravis had put mountains of ore into the Space Ring, and the ore was incredibly heavy.

Yet, several tons of ore were missing.

This would be hard to notice since that wasn't even 1% of the total amount of ore, but Gravis had checked very thoroughly. If he hadn't, he wouldn't have noticed that.
