Luo Feng could not help revealing a faint smile after hearing this. With 100 percent integrity, the price of his sword would be very high.
“This weapon should have been used to fight monsters below SS grade,” Wang Hou said with a smile.
If an SS grade weapon is used against SS grade king level monsters, it will suffer subtle damage. Once the number of battles accumulates to a certain level, the damage can reach a point where it may break. However, when an SS grade sword is used against lord level or beast general level monsters, it basically suffers no damage at all.
“Wang Hou, what price can you offer for this sword?” Luo Feng asked.
“If you buy this sword in a martial arts hall, the full price is 30 billion yuan, and the half price is 15 billion yuan. If purchased through the God of War Palace, the best price is 10 billion yuan,” Wang Hou said with a smile. “I assume you already know this kind of market information.”
Luo Feng said nothing.
Know?
He actually knew very little about the legendary God of War Palace. He did not expect that the best purchase price there was even lower than the Extreme Dojo half price.
“The 10 billion yuan God of War Palace price is already the lowest. The production cost of this sword is about 9 billion yuan. If I buy your sword, I still need distribution channels and various fees, so I can only offer a maximum of 8 billion yuan. Any higher and there is no profit,” Wang Hou explained.
Luo Feng understood.
The cost was 9 billion yuan. If you asked 9 billion yuan, the manufacturer might as well produce a new sword. Why buy a second hand one? Even though this sword is 100 percent intact, there is still no official quality guarantee. Weapons sold by HR Alliance and the Extreme Dojo, however, come with guarantees.
“Alright, 8 billion it is,” Luo Feng said with a smile.
“Straightforward,” Wang Hou also smiled. “Mr Wei, why don’t we enjoy ourselves a bit later? My treat. We can go to one of the highest class ‘King Halls’ in the Will Palace. If you want women, just name your preferences. Age, height, measurements, education, looks, even whether they are virgins.”
He spoke very casually, clearly used to this kind of arrangement. With such a large deal, spending a few million in luxury was nothing.
“Wang Hou, do not rush. I still have more items,” Luo Feng said.
“There is more?”
Wang Hou stared.
He had originally thought the dragon egg and sword were the main items, already worth over 10 billion yuan. But now there was more. Judging by the order of items, each one seemed more valuable than the last. The dragon egg was 5 billion, the SS grade sword 8 billion, so what about the final item?
“Quick, let me see it,” Wang Hou said excitedly.
Luo Feng smiled and took out the final item from his backpack, a complete set of combat gear, including boots, arm guards, chest armour, and more.
“Damn,” Wang Hou could not help drawing a sharp breath. “Is this also SS grade?”
Based on different equipment types, even within the same SS grade there were large differences. Small weapons like flying knives and large weapons like swords were completely different in value. High complexity and flexible combat suits were even more expensive than blades and swords.
“Take a look,” Luo Feng said, placing the set down.
“Alright.”
Wang Hou immediately used the same scanning device. The mist like light once again enveloped the combat suit, scanning each component. Data rapidly appeared on the screen.
While looking, he said to Luo Feng with a smile, “Mr Wei, from what I can tell, this is at least S grade. As for whether it is SS grade, I cannot be sure yet.”
Luo Feng smiled without speaking.
Then Wang Hou’s expression suddenly froze as he stared at the screen. His smile completely disappeared.
“What is wrong?” Luo Feng frowned.
“Look,” Wang Hou said, turning the screen toward him.
On the screen, the analysis was already clear. The boots were S grade, the trousers were S grade, and the remaining parts were still being scanned.
Luo Feng’s expression changed slightly.
S grade?
This combat suit was actually S grade? Even though SS and S were only one grade apart, the price difference was enormous.
“How is this possible?” Luo Feng did not suspect Wang Hou of lying. The instrument was extremely precise and connected to a central database for verification.
“Alright, all done,” Wang Hou said after a moment. “Let me first tell you the bad news. This is not a full SS grade combat suit. But I also have good news. It is not entirely an S grade suit either.”
“It is a mixed set of S grade and SS grade components,” Wang Hou said with a smile. “The chest armour is SS grade.”
Luo Feng finally relaxed slightly.
The screen results were clear. The other parts were S grade, only the chest armour was SS grade. And in a combat suit, the most important part was indeed the chest armour, the core protection piece.
“The previous owner probably did not have enough money, so they only bought an SS grade chest piece,” Wang Hou said. “This is quite common in the God of War Palace. The other parts like boots and trousers are S grade.”
Luo Feng could guess that.
“So what price?” he asked.
“A complete SS grade combat suit costs 120 billion full price, 60 billion half price. The God of War Palace best price is 40 billion,” Wang Hou said. “Your SS grade chest armour, as the core component, is worth about half of the entire suit. With 100 percent integrity, the best price in the God of War Palace is 20 billion.”
“However, its production cost is lower than 20 billion. So my offer will also be lower than that.”
“I can give you 15 billion for the SS grade chest armour,” Wang Hou said with a smile. “Of course, I do not have authority to move such a large amount immediately. If you agree, you will need to wait about 15 minutes.”
Luo Feng’s mind moved slightly.
Dragon egg 5 billion, SS sword 8 billion, SS chest armour 15 billion. That is already 28 billion, very close to 30 billion.
“And the remaining S grade parts?” Luo Feng asked.
“These S grade parts are more troublesome,” Wang Hou said with a frown. “They are worn and not 100 percent intact, so we cannot resell them directly. Also, without the chest armour, their value drops a lot. At most I can offer 800 million.”
“800 million,” Luo Feng hesitated, then nodded. “Alright.”
These leftover parts were useless to him anyway.
“Anything else?” Wang Hou asked.
“No more,” Luo Feng smiled. “Calculate the total and transfer it to this account.”
He handed over a note with his Swiss International Bank anonymous account details.
Wang Hou nodded and calculated.
“Dragon egg 5 billion, SS sword 8 billion, SS chest armour 15 billion, S grade parts 800 million. Total 28.8 billion.”
A short while later, the transfer arrived.
A message appeared on Luo Feng’s phone confirming the deposit.
“Pleasure doing business,” Luo Feng said, shaking his hand.
“Mr Wei, I hope we can cooperate again,” Wang Hou smiled warmly.
That night, Luo Feng left the capital by train. Early the next morning, he returned to Jiangnan Base City, then took a taxi home. At the gate of Mingyue Community, a guard stopped him and told him about a girl named Zhen Nan leaving a letter for Luo Hua.
Luo Feng accepted the envelope.
