Chapter 1470: Unexpected Privilege
After checking the remaining mage robes, Tang Shaoyang ended up with the first robe. He was unsure if Liang Suyin would like the blaze pattern on the robe, but this was the best one among the seven robes with the highest rank.
The second option would be [Glimmer Flaminon Robe]. This one did not have a pattern, just a plain crimson robe. But this one was slightly worse than [Caldera Blaze Robe].
——————————————
[Glimmer Flaminon Robe]
Grade: Primordial
Bonus: [+19% Mana Regeneration] [+18 Fire Damage] [+9% Magic Damage]
Attribute: [+3 Star Magic Power] [+1 Star Vitality]
Skill: [Teleportation]
——————————————
The bonus was worse, but he felt like the skill was better than just a barrier. Teleportation might be a life-saving skill. He could buy both, but he was not allowed to buy them.
Cladeos Emporium only allowed him to purchase one exclusive item on the third floor with Game Coin. The emporium only accepted calamity for the following purchase. That meant he could not buy them all now. He had to wait until the trial started to get the calamity body. It was so frustrating that he had the money but he could not spend it.
After ten minutes of consideration, he picked [Caldera Blaze Robe]. Even though he picked up this one, he was determined to buy the second one in mind.
"I want this one please." He showed the robe to the manager.
It took him so long to pick. The manager of the Cladeos Emporium, the lady in the red formal dress, sent the staff away, leaving him with Lady Elonia and her.
"Good choice. Caldera and Flaminon are known for their fire attribute items. That will be 189 million GC, Sir." The manager smiled.
Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow when he heard the price. He expected the robe would be at least three hundred million, but it was far below his guess. [Mash] was five hundred million, and he ended up paying three hundred and fifty million for that. It was the same grade, Primordial but the price difference was too big.
"May I know the price for the other one in GC?" Curious, he asked the manager.
"Even though [Glimmer Flaminon Robe]'s bonus is worse than [Caldera Blaze Robe], it's more expensive. It's two hundred and thirty-seven million GC, Sir."
Tang Shaoyang immediately realized that the dwarf scammed him. Even though he did not know the market price for the Primordial Grade item. He could guess based on these two items that the price was around one hundred fifty million to two hundred fifty million. The reason as to why he knew the dwarf scammed him was because of the opening price, five hundred million.
'I guess the extra hundred million is for the token.'
Everything aligned and made sense. Calderon gave him the token because he could not undo what Duvrag did. As the worker in the smithy, Calderon could not say openly that his boss was trying to scam him. Was it worth a hundred million in exchange for a VIP service in the Cladeos Emporium? From the list of the items, a hundred million was worth it. He could get not just the staff and mage robe, but also the accessory.
"Then let me take [Glimmer Flaminon Robe] instead!"
Tang Shaoyang changed his mind and bought [Glimmer Flaminon Robe]. [Glimmer Flaminon Robe] valued higher compared to the other one, meaning this item was sought for. It was better to secure this item first even though it had lower bones.
"Thank you for your purchase, Sir," The manager offered her hand to finish the purchase.
Just like that, he spent another two hundred-thirty million. In a few hours, he spent almost six hundred million. That was just two items. For his next purchase, he needed to get the calamity body. It seemed like Calamity was not just a fearful monster, but also precious materials.
Tang Shaoyang stored his new robe in the inventory. He returned to his seat and looked at the manager, "May I have the price list for the remaining items?"
The store would not accept any calamity's body, after all. He at least needed to buy seventeen accessories. If he gave one of his wives a necklace, then everyone must get it. He must be fair to all of them.
"Of course, Sir Tang," The manager took out a booklet from her inventory and handed it to Tang Shaoyang. It was quite thick for an exclusive item, "You can keep the booklet. All VIP items along with the price are listed in the booklet."
Tang Shaoyang checked the price from armor to mage robe, skill scroll to class scroll, and more. The booklet listed what kind of calamity the shop was looking for. However, it was quite different from the scroll given to him by Calderon. It did not mention the calamity's characteristics as well as where he could find them. It was incomplete compared to the one Calderon gave him.
There were too many items that caught his attention, but he could not really secure the item. He looked troubled, especially with how good the item was. There was a necklace that increased Mana's Regeneration as well as Magic Damage. There was also a ring with fire damage. There was even an earring that increased the healing efficiency.
"It seems you are interested in many items, but you are afraid that others will snatch those items from you...." Elonia, who had been silent for a while, opened her mouth.
Tang Shaoyang scratched his forehead and did not hide it from them, "Indeed. I want to buy these items as a gift for my wives."
"You actually don't need to worry that much. There will not be many people who can access our exclusive item early before the trial starts. Except those with a similar token like the one you have. And there are only fifteen tokens in this city, so you can take your time. Don't get yourself killed for a mere item."
It was genuine advice from Elonia as well as a concern. She was concerned that Tang Shaoyang would do something reckless just to secure this item.
"If you are still worried. I can give you a privilege, just for our first VIP customer. We will reserve your choice item, up to ten items. We will keep the item for you, but you must buy those items in a week. If you don't buy the item in a week. A week from the start of the trial. It will be unfair to our other customers if your reserve order is more than a week. You have a week to gather the trade items."
