I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Gamma's plan was very complicated. Li Yue didn't completely reject it, but the decision he made was—to wait for Musta's news.

Anyway, Li Yue only wanted money, and he didn't need too much.

Since Gamma's existence itself was valuable, wouldn't it be better to just sell Gamma if the Merchant Guild was a decent partner?

Stealing this and that, Poem-sealed Gold Coins, the Door to Wealth, etc... could all be completely unrelated to him.

Why trust someone who is 'eloquent'?

As for now, Li Yue decided to catch up on some sleep and prepare to walk around those places that were not easy to enter during the day at night, to further light up the punctuation marks of the Iron Mine Town.

And Musta didn't disappoint Li Yue.

At dinner time, the knight at the entrance of the Merchant Guild knocked on the door of the Iron Horn Inn. The old lady watched Li Yue being respectfully invited away by the knight, knowing that this traveler had already hooked up with a big shot, and from then on, she could only pray for his mercy, and there would be no more luck.

And Li Yue casually threw the only remaining key to the basement on the table and leisurely followed the knight to the opposite street.

Looking at the key on the table, the old lady was stunned.

But Li Yue had made mistakes, and he also cared about those—Li Yue planned to do a lot of appraisals, enough to earn some living expenses and travel expenses for traveling in the Seven Gold-Cracked Towns.

"Deal."

"Damn it! Does he think he can keep you like that? You? Gamma? A bard about to advance to Tier 9?!" Gamma was full of energy, "You are a survivor of this war! You have encountered safer situations than that! Your epic will surely be sung on the mainland!"

Accompanied by Gamma's accusations, the shelves tilted and the ground shook; everyone in the store lost their balance, as if a giant dragon was turning over underground.

Moreover, he hadn't sold Gamma for money yet.

It just so happened that there were Poem-sealed Gold Coins outside the cellar, and it just so happened that other thieves wanted to make a move, and it just so happened that Gamma had figured out the delivery route?

Each time Li Yue appraised a mysterious item, he would receive a reward of 1 silver coin, completely clean money; and there was no upper or lower limit to the number of appraisals, entirely negotiated by Musta and Li Yue.

"In addition to the appraisal service, I will also sell you a piece of news..." Quickly signing the contract, Kong Yan finally spoke about Gamma, who was currently in the warehouse on the ground.

"A monthly piece rate..." Musta replied subconsciously, suddenly feeling that Kong Yan was complicated—this person had obviously dealt with merchants before, could it be that a refugee from a remote mountain would have that kind of experience?

The old lady quickly opened the door and ran to the basement to untie the three men who were tied up...

The traveler in front of him, who was proficient in appraisal, was an opportunity for Musta, and he must not give him to the Merchant Guild for nothing.

The contract was quickly drawn up. Li Yue carefully checked it and signed his name. It didn't take a few minutes from entering the store to signing the contract.

"My companion is dealing with it, he is staying where he is." The store had limited manpower. Musta called two knights to run to the warehouse on the ground, and at the same time, he rang the bell in his arms.

If the bard's strength was used to deal with him, what Poem-sealed Gold Coins, what praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind... were all wishful thinking.

"Satisfied, very satisfied." Musta nodded, "I think we can talk about the next cooperation..."

And just as Li Yue mentioned this, the store suddenly shook!

"Gamma realized that the traveler was trustworthy, secretly determined, there would always be a day to make him pay the price..."

Li Yue had no intention of being polite with him at all, and went straight to the point: "Mr. Musta, are you satisfied with the results of the appraisal?"

"More importantly, I have accumulated enough power!"

Of course, the contract also stated a floating range of 5% for errors. If the appraisal inaccuracy exceeded this range, Li Yue would need to make compensation, as well as the details of the compensation, etc.

"Li! You bastard!" Gamma's voice resounded through the street, "I cooperated with you, and you actually betrayed me?!"

If everything was just a verbal agreement, merchants would have a lot of room to maneuver, even if it was just a high-level merchant could do it; but a written contract was extremely difficult to change, Musta couldn't do it, and even someone in the Merchant Guild couldn't do it.

"Gamma is desperately trying to escape the cage at the cost of his vitality, even if it makes him even more injured..." The text was intermittent, but the twisted font revealed anger.

This is... letting go of his three children?

Li Yue put away the contract, half of his body hanging on the wall, and was about to rush to the cellar to take a look, but was stopped by the merchant raising his hand.

"Cooperation? If the cooperation you are talking about refers to... using my strength to get you out, then I have indeed broken my promise." After listening to Gamma's plan, Li Yue thought it was just a broken pie.

"Li! You deserve to die!" Gamma's voice was furious, and in between his words, a box smashed through the wall, turning into a few lines of text in mid-air.

"What a fulfilling day, Li." Musta was in a good mood. Seeing Li Yue enter, he enthusiastically walked up to greet him.

Li Yue didn't have so much time to spend in the Merchant Guild. He wanted a long-term flow of income. When he was short of money, he would come and do appraisals. The lower the value of the appraised item, the lower the fee. One appraisal would be enough to eat for a long time.

Because it was very possible that by the time Hunteral returned, the entire Merchant Guild would be turned upside down.

Li Yue wouldn't believe in such coincidences, so he decided that regardless of whether it was true or false, he would treat it all as 'eloquence'.

"Gamma is a talking box, claiming to be a bard." Li Yue spread his hands, "Originally, I wanted to use you to rob them, but I had a change of heart..."

"Pay per item."

"Since you have thought so thoroughly... then let's each take a step back, price it monthly?" Musta didn't say much nonsense either.

The battle on the ground continued, cracking the ground, and spewing out some handwriting and liquid.

"He's quite strong..." Seeing this, Kong Yan was even more convinced that cooperating with Gamma was the most correct choice.

But Li Yue hadn't finished speaking, and the heads of two knights burst out from the cracks in the floor tiles, their expressions distorted and their faces covered in writing.

The cleaner arrived late.

Ever since Kong Yan was invited to leave the Merchant Guild, Gamma had been listening to the conversation between the traveler and the merchant...

At the beginning, Gamma thought that Kong Yan was just taking the opportunity to stabilize Kong Yanxing, and was still following the escape plan that had just been set at noon; but the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. It wasn't until Li Yue signed his name on the contract and mentioned 'news' that Gamma finally realized that he had been sold.

In the vibration, some text drilled out from the ground, and there was also the sound of a table tennis match.

Musta quickly drafted a contract. The partner didn't fill in the Merchant Guild, but filled in himself—the Demon King City hadn't made any moves, Hunteral seemed to have appeared, and Musta needed to increase his personal wealth as soon as possible.

"Then I choose to charge per appraisal." Kong Yan retorted.

"You say it clearly, who is this Gamma below... what happened?" Although Musta heard Gamma and Kong Yan's conversation, he still didn't understand the situation in the store.

The text disappeared, and a box that could 'speak eloquently' escaped—Gamma's epic was still being continued.

Musta was stunned, not expecting Li Yue to be satisfied with a verbal agreement, but instead wanted to put it in writing.

"Then let's sign the contract." Li Yue blurted out—the two sides didn't have much trust, so it was safer to put it on paper.

Obviously, Musta wanted to use Li Yue's appraisal ability to the greatest extent on a monthly basis and materialize the value of mysterious items as much as possible.

Moreover, Li Yue said this very smoothly, feeling that the original owner of his body might often say it.

"If you purchase appraisal services, do you want to choose to charge per item or charge monthly? Is the fee standard based on the number of items or the value?" Li Yue continued along the line of thought.

A white horse suddenly appeared in front of Kong Yan, blocking the way.
