I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1662  Smugglers 

"Thanks," Hye already got his Second Earth world to look around, and he also placed more importance over the plan he was going to execute and the worlds he was going to gain.

He knew the start was always the toughest thing in any plan. And luckily, he got his bones and this world to secure his needs for now.

But from her words, he got sudden interest about something, "if you have any intel about how to get these mines, I'm willing to make a deal with you."

"Me? Or the impact?" she looked at him in a way that was more tempting than questioning his words.

"I want these mines," Hye strictly said, "by any means possible. So will you help or not?"

"You do know the main problem isn't in finding, but in protecting them, right?" she rolled her eyes, and her words conveyed something to Hye.

"So you do know of places with mines, terrific," he rubbed his hands, and there he noticed some sparks that came out from such a casual move, "what the heck is that?!!"

"Hahahaha, this is just a normal side effect after levelling up," she laughed on his expression, "you'll get used to this. Anyway, I do know of places, but can't promise anything about how to protect them. And such knowledge can't wait for a long time, or else the risk of others knowing about these mines will rise."

"I got it," Hye nodded, thinking about everything he planned to do, "tell me, is there a place where lots of mines are gathered?"

"Hmm… Let me check the impact first… Ah, this is a secret between the two of us, ok?"

"Sure," Hye raised his thumb, and he knew he was going to pay less fees for such service this time.

As he waited on the side, she started to communicate with other members of her impact. Hye soon got an answer from her, and it was a very good one.

"There is a list of a few tens of mines recently discovered, however…"

"I don't plan to acquire them for now."

"This… Then why did you let me search for the list?!!!"

"To make sure you are able to get such intel in the first place," he laughed, and his words ended up with her showing an annoyed look on her face, "anyway, let's just finish our business here. When the time is right, I'll let you know about what we shall do."

"Can't you tell me now at least?" She was eager to get more bones from him. And just seeing such a big whale walk away without sharing his wealth with her made her quite frustrated.

Before he'd say anything, that merchant returned with another. Hye just shrugged, as if he was helpless about this.

"Here is the esteemed guest of our city, the one I told you about," the merchant introduced Hye to his friend, and the latter showed the same expression on his face as the merchant, one full of admiration and greed.

"Esteemed sir Hye, what can I help you with?" the new merchant said, after sending his friend away, "anything you need, I, Alons, can satisfy it in ways that no one else can."

"That's what I like to hear," Hye turned to the lady nymph, and the latter wanted to say this was just a sly merchant with a sweet tongue and nothing more, "tell me, how much crystals can you get me?"

"Sir wants universal crystals? Let me check the warehouse then," Alons was indeed quite excited about making this deal with Hye. he didn't waste any time and started to check his interface.

"I believe you made a deal with my friend, right?" as he did that, he turned to Hye as if he figured out something, "no need to say anything, sir. I just got this from the recent question my dear friend asked about the value of your precious bones. How about this, I'll give sir all the crystals present in my place, with a twenty percent discount."

"Hmm…" Hye knew this was going to be a trend from now on. If he got a discount from one merchant, others would hear about this sooner or later and start trading with him on such a basis. And yet he didn't want just what this merchant could provide now, he wanted him to work and gather more crystals like his friend.

Hye planned to recruit all the merchants in this sector, all the merchants he'd meet. He wanted them to start a fervent hunt for crystals. As for bones, he didn't care about them at all.

"Sir, if you want, I can give you a thirty percent discount…"

"I want more crystals, can you provide me with more later on?" Hye interrupted the scared merchant, "I'm going to stay here for a month. Can you collect more crystals by then?"

"Sure, sure sir, leave this task to me," Alons patted his chest, almost on the verge of crying out of happiness, "I'm going to collect all the crystals I can get, even contact those smugglers and get more from them."

"Smugglers?!" Hye looked at him in doubt, and Alons seemed to realise he made a mistake by saying such a thing.

"Don't mind this, what truly matters is how many crystals I can get in the end, right?"

"Cool," Hye paused, "but I know nothing of your ways to get them, and won't be held responsible for anything, clear?" he had to stress over this point, make things clear so he wouldn't end up in a big trouble.

And yet he wanted to dig more about these smugglers. Such a world was supposedly secured, tightly shut on the faces of any invaders. Having smugglers meant there were loopholes in the system, and there were people who knew what to do and how to exploit this for their gains.

Hye didn't care about such holes in this world, but he wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong in the entire grand protective formation he was going to purchase.
