Sword God in a World of Magic
Chapter 56
"You want to sell your Ice Wood to earn enough money to enter the Warrior's Academy, correct?" the officer asked.
Shang nodded. "That's my intention."
"You don't want to wait for the yearly exams, right?"
"That's right."
"You do know that you need five gold for the exam?"
"I know. From what I've heard, the Ice Wood I have should be enough."
The officer nodded. "It should be enough, but there is one issue."
"Which is?" Shang asked evenly.
"How good are you at bartering and negotiation?" she asked.
This took Shang by surprise.
He hadn't even thought about that.
"I've never bartered in my life," Shang said.
Why would he need to barter? All the prices in the normal stores on Earth were standardized. Bartering only existed on TV and in pawnshops.
The officer nodded. "That's the issue," she said. "You're planning on selling your Ice Wood in Warrior's Paradise. However, no normal person will buy that much Ice Wood. Additionally, very few normal citizens are even interested in raw resources."
"This means that you have to sell it to a merchant wholesale, and merchants are very shrewd. If I already suspected that you're not good at bartering, the merchants will realize that with one glance."
"Even more, the merchants are not stupid. They will realize that you definitely are not a merchant but an aspiring warrior that wants to earn money. The merchants will quickly realize that the only reason why someone like you would travel so far with such a heavy load was to earn enough money to enter the Warrior's Academy."
"They know that you only need five gold. So, they will act like your load is worth six gold and will magnanimously tell you that they are willing to give you seven."
Shang listened to the officer's words, and he realized something.
He would have accepted that trade.
After all, he would have gotten even more gold than he needed. Additionally, he couldn't be bothered to research everything and negotiate with several merchants.
