Chapter 915: The Universe Bank!
The Thousand Treasure Chamber had franchises littered all over the universe. There were outlets in the various civilizations, and their foundation was extremely strong.
A large company would definitely take extra care of their reputation. Hence, one didn’t need to worry about them cheating their clients.
Round Ball introduced the place to w.a.n.g Teng as he walked. After some time, he found the Thousand Treasure Chamber.
This was a huge silver-white metallic building. It was easily recognizable.
w.a.n.g Teng entered the building and realized that this chamber looked similar to shopping malls on Earth. There were different areas in the building with all sorts of items on display, including battle uniforms, weapons, spiritual herbs, ores, etc. There were even spiritual pets and robots…
There weren’t many of them, and they were mostly on display. The real menu was screened in the air using holograms. They were life-like and clear.
w.a.n.g Teng sized up his surroundings curiously. He was dazzled.
There was an array of items. He didn’t know where to look.
“What do you think? It’s not bad, right?” Round Ball chuckled.
“Not bad.” w.a.n.g Teng nodded calmly.
…
At this moment, an attendant from a shop saw w.a.n.g Teng and welcomed him pa.s.sionately, “Dear customer, do you need any help?”
“I want to sell items,” w.a.n.g Teng replied.
“What will you like to sell?” The attendant seemed used to this reply.
w.a.n.g Teng was wearing the basic attire of the virtual universe. Most people who came into the building with this attire came to sell items in exchange for virtual coins.
“Some ores, star cores, and star bones!”
“Please follow me.” The attendant’s eyes lit up. He raised his hand and led the way. Soon, they arrived at a guest room.
“My manager will attend to you personally. Please wait here.” The attendant left after bringing him in.
A few moments later, a short and small middle-aged man who looked like a goblin walked in. “I’m a manager of the Thousand Treasure Chamber. I heard that you want to sell ores, star cores, and star bones?”
“Yes.” w.a.n.g Teng nodded.
As he spoke, the middle-aged man had already invited him to sit down and served him some tea.
w.a.n.g Teng lifted the teacup and sized up the manager secretly. He realized that this man was a celestial-stage martial warrior and was at the sixth or seventh level. He mustn’t be underestimated.
The virtual universe was extremely real. It was no different from reality. w.a.n.g Teng finally understood this feeling.
“Why don’t you take out your items so that I can look at them?” The middle-aged smiled.
This was how amazing the virtual universe was. These items were available in the real world and shouldn’t exist in the virtual universe. But with a single thought, ores, star cores, and star bones appeared on the table in front of w.a.n.g Teng. They looked exactly like the real thing.
This was the benefit of conducting business in the virtual universe. All the items and figures were virtual. There was no dog-eat-dog situation here. The virtual universe was fair. All transactions would be handled with contract spirit.
w.a.n.g Teng had collected many items when he was on Earth. He took all of them out. The ores, star cores, and star bones piled up into a small hill.
The middle-aged was stunned. But he was an experienced manager, so he regained his composure quickly. He observed the items and announced their prices one by one.
Round Ball was listening too. It knew the worth of these items. w.a.n.g Teng wasn’t afraid that the other party would cheat him.
“I can give you 8000 GQC for all these items.” The middle-aged man put down the last star bone in his hand and looked up at w.a.n.g Teng.
Only 8000? w.a.n.g Teng frowned slightly as he murmured in his heart. It felt quite little.
“Think about it, none of the star cores or star bones have reached the emperor level. The ores aren’t precious either. 8000 is a good price. Don’t forget that it’s GQC. It’s worth more,” Round Ball replied angrily.
“Oh, right.” w.a.n.g Teng smiled awkwardly. “Is the price okay?”
“You can ask for 8500 GQC,” Round Ball said directly.
w.a.n.g Teng shook his head and said to the middle-aged man, “8500 GQC. I’ll sell them to other shops if you can’t give me this price. I’m not in a hurry to sell.”
“It looks like you understand the market. You are pus.h.i.+ng down the profit, you know.” The middle-aged man gave a bitter smile. “In that case, let’s deal at 8500. We’ll earn a little lesser and take this as a chance to build a better relations.h.i.+p with you. Actually, I won’t have agreed if you didn’t have such a large variety of items.”
“We’ll have more chances to work together in the future.” w.a.n.g Teng smiled.
They signed the contract and the middle-aged man transferred the virtual coins to w.a.n.g Teng’s account.
As an unregistered resident, he didn’t have an account, but he had inherited Nangong Yue’s inheritance.
As a baron of the empire, Nangong Yue had an unnamed bank card in the Universe Bank. He might be dead, but he wrote his will before he died and left the bank card to his successor. Hence, the account didn’t get deleted.
The bank card was kept by Round Ball. w.a.n.g Teng could use it now.
The middle-aged man treated w.a.n.g Teng with even more pa.s.sion when he noticed that he possessed an unnamed bank card while they were doing the transaction. He even looked at him with some respect.
The Universe Bank was a gigantic presence in the universe. Its background was mysterious and powerful, and it had been around in the universe for a long time. It was the biggest bank in countless galaxies and planets.
Their branches were scattered over many different civilizations. They were a trusted ent.i.ty. Hence, it wasn’t easy to get an unnamed bank card from this bank. You needed to have a certain position and status.
w.a.n.g Teng enjoyed such convenience with Nangong Yue’s help. This was why the baron position was so popular in the Great Qian Empire.
“You can send the real items to the nearest Thousand Treasure Chamber branch.” The middle-aged sent w.a.n.g Teng to the door after completing the transaction.
“Manager Boke, you can stop here.” w.a.n.g Teng stopped the middle-aged man helplessly.
During their conversation, w.a.n.g Teng learned that this man was called Boke and was a goblin.
There were goblins in the universe too. They were good merchants and outstanding inventors and engineers. You could see signs of them in many big corporations or construction sites.
The middle-aged man wasn’t that enthusiastic at the start, but now, he was sucking up to him. w.a.n.g Teng couldn’t accept the sudden change.
“Hope to see you soon.” Boke smiled and waved his hand at w.a.n.g Teng as he sent him off.
