Chapter 10, Buying Slaves

Upon entering, Thunder was struck by the vastness of the slave trading market, which covered at least several thousand square meters. The place was bustling with people coming and going, and at the center stood a large platform where many individuals were gathered, either sitting or standing. A man holding a whip stood on the platform, loudly proclaiming something, while beside him, a row of many young and beautiful women was lined up.

After not much time had passed, Tifa called out from behind, "Young Master, wait a moment."

Buying a few to take back wouldn't be bad either said Thunder, smacking his lips

The starting price for each plaything is 20 gold coins, with increments of 5 coins. Whether for personal use, gifting, or entertaining esteemed guests, it is the wisest choice. The auction begins now... Hey, I said you can only look, not touch! Someone, drag him away for me.

"Customer, this small shop is a modest business; you have to let me earn something, right?" The boss was almost in tears. With this thunderous shout, many nearby customers buying jewelry came over to watch. If others learn this set of tactics, how can this small shop make any profit at all

Having paid the amount to mhetushucom.com, Tifa followed closely behind Thunder with two new pieces of jewelry. The young girl has now figured out Thunder's temperament; if the young master offers something, it is best to take it, otherwise, one should be prepared to face a scolding.

Tifa, with her flushed cheeks, approached Thunder, breathing heavily. Without saying a word, she directly squatted down and fidgeted with Thunder's clothes. When Tifa finally stood up again, Thunder noticed that a jade pendant was hanging from his waist.

Thunder was suddenly struck by electricity, and a wave of heat surged from the depths of his heart

Thunder shook his head: "Boss, although there is no business without deceit, you are making too much profit. The materials used for these two items are not particularly precious. Even if we add in the cost of labor and forging, it shouldn't amount to that much"

Tifa raised four fingers

Tifa stared wide-eyed at Thunder, while Oak also wore a look of astonishment.

When Thunder turned his head to look, the little girl had already darted back into the jewelry store like a gust of wind, and shortly after, she ran out again. Thunder thought she had returned the jewelry she had just bought, and was preparing to scold her, only to find that the hairpin and bracelet were still worn on her person

Thunder nodded slightly, indicating that it was acceptable, having negotiated the price down by about half. Although there is money on hand now, it does not mean that one can spend it recklessly

"You are a connoisseur, esteemed guest." The boss was taken aback for a moment before looking at Thunder with surprise, realizing that an expert can discern quality at a glance. With just a few words, Thunder left the boss greatly astonished.

Slavery is a prevalent existence in this world. The sources of slaves mainly include prisoners of war, children from impoverished families, individuals who have violated the law, and those subjected to collective punishment. Additionally, there are the attractive women and strong men captured by various slave-catching groups from other countries. Among slaves, the most valuable are the beastmen. Whether as warriors or beautiful women, beastmen are several tiers more expensive than humans.

There is a set! '' Thunder looked at Tifa with appreciation, managing to acquire an item worth four gold coins for just two gold coins in such a short time. Tifa lowered her head, clutching the hem of her clothes in silence

"One gold coin, you have made a great profit!" Thunder raised a finger

What is this about? "" Thunder asked Uncle Oak

The baron ... According to Colin's memories in the mind of Thunder, behind every slave market in the cities is official support, and a mere baron cannot shake the rules of the market.

Thunder observed clearly that a man was reaching into a woman's embrace, indulging in his playful actions.

Last night during dinner, Thunder and Uncle Oak discussed in detail that at least a few guardian-type slaves should be purchased for the household, along with several maidservants.

"Just kidding." Thunder felt quite awkward under the gaze of the two and quickly walked to the side

Tifa gazed at Thunder with her beautiful, wide eyes filled with admiration

Thunder shook his head dismissively, "Boss, take a look at this bracelet. The surface has a decent luster, but there are casting flaws and sand holes inside. Yes, there are quite a few. The lines are not very clear, and the patterns are somewhat unnatural." He touched it with his hand, "Is it smooth? It's average. If you feel it carefully, there's a slight roughness."

Boss, it's not that I'm saying this, but the two items you've crafted are truly too ordinary. If it weren't for our Tifa being beautiful, even if someone else wore them, they wouldn't look this good.

It seems like they are auctioning slaves. "In the slave market," Oak replied, "some slaves of good quality are put up for public auction, which allows for a higher selling price.

Set a fair price, there are not only your jewelry store in Fair City.

Tifa raised two fingers

"That is true, but it is precisely this point that makes it worth the value, isn't it?" the boss nodded and smiled.

Did you buy it?" Thunder picked up the jade pendant and took a glance.

They walked forward with two people and arrived at the Faier City Slave Trading Post after approximately ten minutes

Thunder gently shook his head; he had just given the little girl two gold coins, and she had already spent the money on this. Well, after all, he was also a young master, and he ought to have something that reflects his status

Tifa nodded

Two burly guards quickly rushed up, one on the left and one on the right, pinning down the lewd man and tossing him out the door. As this exceedingly lewd man kicked his legs and shouted loudly, "I am a baron, I am a noble, you cannot treat me this way."

The man on the stage disdainfully spat and ignored him

As soon as the man spoke, more than ten people rushed to the stage, gathering around the women who were lying on the ground, their eyes gleaming with lust, smacking their lips while watching, their faces flushed with excitement

How much does it cost

You are a deity, and I, a mere mortal, cannot afford to offend you. One gold coin is equivalent to thirty silver coins, which is the lowest price. The boss's expression seemed as if he had been cut of several pounds of flesh

What is his asking price

Certainly learned from you, young master. Uncle Oak said beside Captain Lao Huai.

As he spoke, the man on stage cracked his whip, and the several beautiful women simultaneously knelt on the ground, arching their backs, pursing their lips, and gazing up at the audience with wide, watery eyes

God, please take your time! The boss is nodding and bowing behind.

One and a half gold coins! The boss gritted his teeth, his muscles trembling.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the latest creation of our exchange, the imitation rabbit plaything. In terms of both color and quality, it is freshly produced and has not been defiled by anyone. If anyone is interested, you are welcome to come and observe it up close, but let me make it clear first: you may only look, not touch
