Bloody Empire trade fair

Chen Rui used a pseudonym and became a vendor in the trade fair. However, this trade fair was a bit special. It gathered all independent small stalls. It was said that they sell very rare and special items. Only special guests could visit this trade fair.

It took Tess a lot of effort to find out the news. Chen Rui originally wanted to take this opportunity to find Fertile Yuan Soil and some materials for making artifacts. Naturally, he would not miss this good opportunity. It was just that Tess’ current ability was not enough to allow him to join the list of special guests, so Chen Rui wisely chose to become a vendor.

Despite the help of Tess, it was not an easy task to enter this store. You must have unique rare goods. Chen Rui took out some gadgets that he made in the Rainbow Valley previously. These gadgets’ material or value was not very high, but the characteristics of this store were not just looking at high value. The most important thing was they should be “special”. The more distinctive and weird, the better it was. In the end, Chen Rui’s gadgets finally passed the “review” and he successfully “settled in” the store.

## Special guest

Before the fair started, all the merchants in this store were intensively lectured. The content of the lecture was about some special rules of the store. One matter was emphasized. At a certain period of time, a distinguished female customer would come to this store. Everyone must show a good spirit of hospitality. No matter what item the customer liked, it must be sold to her. The price should be average, not too high or too low.

If the female customer successfully purchased a certain product, the vendor would receive a reward which was 5 times the price of the product afterwards. If the customer was satisfied, the vendor would receive 10 times the reward afterwards!

There were a small number of people who had participated in the Bloody Empire capital’s similar trade fairs in the past. It was said that there were also such special rules at that time, and they also cashed out 10 times the rewards afterwards, so the reliability was beyond doubt.

The female guest was probably a very noble and first-rate royal family member. Chen Rui was a little curious about this, but he was just curious and did not pay too much attention to it. His attention at the moment was on the goods of those vendors, and he really found some of the materials needed by the artifact and some rare good items. Unfortunately, he did not see his biggest goal, Fertile Yuan Soil, nor did he get any information about Seckred Mountain and related news from these people.

## Market making

As a fellow seller, Chen Rui had reached an agreement with those selected merchants. If no customer bought those materials and goods in the end, they could exchange the goods they need with each other or sell them to him at a suitable price. However, they still prefer to sell at a price because those “commodities” of Chen Rui were too weird. It was hard to invoke the interest of other merchants.

In contrast to the lively atmosphere outside, the buying and selling of the special store began silently in a separate venue. The merchants in the store were effectively isolated by cleverly designed spaces. They were well-organized and had spacious passages. The merchants and products were clear at a glance, and the place did not seem crowded at all.

According to the rules, the sellers in the special stores were not allowed to shout at the customer. There was a sign in front of each stall listing their goods and prices. They could only speak when those customers were interested in certain goods and inquired about that. Once the rules were violated, they would be expelled from the trade fair.

The number of guests here was not particularly large. From the perspective of clothing or conversation, most of them had extraordinary identities. They were very generous and rarely bargain. In just one hour, several businessmen made a lot of money and smiled.

Unlike those sellers who had gained a lot, the weird goods on Chen Rui’s stall were rarely inquired. Even the old goblin who sold strange demonic beasts next to him had just sold two little guys, but Chen Rui hadn’t got a good start.

The old goblin glanced at him to show off, then he carefully checked the magical cage, lest there be any problems and let the wealthy babies slipped away.

## Gains

The trade fair’s day one was over. Chen Rui’s stall was the most enviable one. Not to mention he flirted for a few hours, the mysterious lady even bought everything in his stall in the end. The guy actually dressed up as a customer while leisurely wandering around in the trade fair, and he bought many things.

Despite spending a lot of money, everyone knew that this “Simon” was obviously the only stall in the entire fair that satisfied the distinguished lady. Furthermore, it was not an average satisfaction. It seemed that he would get the 10 times reward. No matter what, this guy still made a huge profit today.

The real gain this time was that he got valuable clues about Fertile Yuan Soil and bought many rare things including artifact materials. It was considered a worthwhile trip.
