Crossover Anime: Starting from Soul Society and Slicing Through All Worlds

Chapter 34 Night City: Making Money Is So Easy

"Demon Poison Dragon! That black material is from the Demon Poison Dragon, a subspecies of dragon!"

That's a super-powerful dragon boss that even S-rank adventurers would have to turn and run away from?

Seeing the adventurers around him suddenly erupt in a frenzy, the guild leader realized that he had let something slip because he was too excited and indignant.

Ye Cheng originally intended to keep the fact that he killed the Demon Poison Dragon a secret, because he also had his own selfish motives.

Adventurers of Night City's caliber are highly sought after by adventurer guilds in any town they visit. If other adventurer guilds were to find out about this, they might shamelessly come and snatch them away.

"Well, that poisonous dragon already smelled bad, and I couldn't afford to sell any spatial equipment before, so to avoid exceeding the mission time, I had no choice but to throw it away."

Compared to the emotionally charged guild leader and adventurers, Night City remained remarkably calm, as if he hadn't thrown away any high-level monster materials, but rather a pile of burdens.

"Brother Night City... no, Boss Night City, may I ask where you abandoned the corpse of the Demon Poison Dragon?

"Yes, yes, yes, could you tell us in detail where you disposed of the Demon Poison Dragon's corpse? Since you don't care about those junk, why not let them benefit our guild members instead of letting others benefit from them?"

When my brother gets back, I'll definitely treat you to drinks, and the best kind, no questions asked!

Just kidding. The Demon Venom Dragon is a sub-dragon boss. Almost every part of a dragon is a treasure trove. There's no such thing as trash. Although the materials Night City brought back were indeed the most valuable from the Demon Venom Dragon, it doesn't mean the other materials are worthless.

If we could find out where the abandoned Demon Poison Dragon of Night City is, and head there now, we might be lucky enough to find some odds and ends.

Even the most fragmented parts, as long as they belong to Yalong, are comparable to several of their missions, and pose absolutely no danger.

"Since you want to know, I can tell you, but killing that Demon Poison Dragon cost me a lot of precious items and potions, so it was quite a loss."

If you guys get all the benefits for free, I'll definitely feel resentful. So, I think you all understand what I mean, right?

Upon hearing what Ye Cheng said, the adventurers watching were also stunned for a moment, secretly marveling at how shrewd Ye Cheng, a newcomer, was.

However, compared to the priceless and unavailable materials from the Demon Poison Dragon, everyone suddenly felt that giving Night City a small reward was quite worthwhile. After all, just as the other party said, they didn't know how much they had paid to defeat such a powerful BOSS as the Demon Poison Dragon.

Only the civil servant, Soya, who had been silently watching everything, smiled bitterly as she observed the scene. No one knew the previous situation in Night City better than her.

The potions and items were incredibly precious. Before setting off, Ye Cheng even had to borrow money from her to buy food and weapons.

The little money she lent to Ye Cheng wasn't nearly enough to buy any rare or precious items or potions.

"So, Brother Ye Cheng, how much money are you prepared to give us the information?"

Giving money isn't the issue; the key question is how much. If Night City were to ask for an exorbitant amount, no one would be stupid. Besides, how much spare cash could a guy who spends all his time chatting and joking around in the Adventurers' Guild possibly have?

"The first person to buy information from me will pay 10 gold coins, the second 8 gold coins, the third 5 gold coins, and so on. Each time I sell information, I'll wait ten minutes before selling it to the next person. What do you all think of this proposal?"

Soya and the guild leader, who were standing nearby, were clearly taken aback when they heard about Ye Cheng's method of selling information. They had originally wanted to give Ye Cheng some pointers, but they did not expect that he was not only quite strong, but also so smart.

Night City did this to protect its own interests. After all, information is passed down by word of mouth. Even if it is a secret at first, it will no longer be a secret if more and more people know about it.

If any of the adventurers in front of him buy his information and then share it with others, or sell secondhand information at a low price, then what's the point of him even trying?

However, with Night City's sales method, this problem wouldn't occur. He sells the information to the first person for 10 gold coins. If you were the first person to know this information, and no one else knew it in a short period of time, would you share this secret with others?

The answer is naturally no. Humans are selfish creatures. The materials for the Demon Dragon are priceless. If you can get them first, wouldn't it be foolish to share them with others?

The second person who knew the information did the same thing; he couldn't possibly inform the third or any subsequent competitors. The first person who knew the information had already set off, so naturally he wouldn't waste his time.

Therefore, this method of selling information maximizes Night City's profits. Furthermore, because Night City doesn't sell information to everyone at once, and the price is set quite reasonably, it prevents them from feeling that they are being overcharged.

The price of 10 gold coins is almost equivalent to the price of an A-level commission. Even for the adventurers present, it would not be an easy task to come up with that much money at once.

But they didn't think the price was too outrageous, after all, it was a chance to get free materials from the sub-dragon species, the Demon Poison Dragon.

"Brother Night City, we're planning to buy your information first." After a moment of silence, the adventurer team finally scraped together enough money and walked up to Night City with their bags of gold coins.

"President, do you have a relatively quiet room that we can borrow?"

"Let's go to the office upstairs. I'll go and tell my secretary, Linda. We can talk from there; no one downstairs can hear us. You can rest assured."

Hearing the conversation between Night City and the guild leader, the adventurer who had been eagerly listening, hoping to gain an advantage, immediately showed a look of disappointment.

After receiving the benefits, Ye Cheng made no attempt to hide anything and revealed the location where he had dismembered and abandoned the Demon Poison Dragon.

"Your decision to be the first to buy my information was correct, because it has been almost two days since I left that place."

Ordinary people would probably not go to such a desolate place, but wild beasts and monsters would probably be attracted by the flesh and blood of the Demon Poison Dragon.

If we had gone any later, there probably wouldn't have been any bones left.

After obtaining information about Night City, the adventurer team, carrying a map, left the Adventurers' Guild with great excitement.

As for the adventurers downstairs, some had already collected enough gold coins, but out of professional ethics, Night City could only sell the second piece of information ten minutes later.
