10 Chapter10- Continue Refining, Rare Tear!
The store manager was the quickest to react, stepping forward to take the bank card from the female manager's hand and handed it to Sophia.
Then, he said with a smile, "Congratulations on your first sale. Since the customer specifically asked for you to handle the payment, you should do it."
Sophia was taken aback when accepting the card.
It was hard for her to believe.
Selling a top-tier model of the latest Holographic Chamber would earn her a commission of over 30,000 dollars!
Normally, this kind of opportunity wouldn't come to her.
Even if she closed a deal, the female manager would quickly swoop in and snatch the customer from her.
This windfall was like a pie falling from the sky for a part-time working college student like her.
"Thank...thank you!" Sophia bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle to John, then happily went to process the payment.
In no time, Sophia returned with the receipt.
Seeing such a large bill, the female manager's face turned extremely ugly.
She hadn't expected that the young man in front of her could afford the latest machine.
If he wasn't wealthy, then what was he? Most people wouldn't splurge so much on equipment!
Just as John took the receipt and glanced at it, he expressed dissatisfaction, "Why is it only a couple hundred thousand dollars? I remember your top configuration isn't like this..."
Upon hearing this, the female manager was even more shocked.
Only a couple hundred thousand dollars? Did he think that was cheap?! How much did he plan to spend on equipment?!
The store manager, with sharp intuition, realized that John was interested in the future 2plus model and quickly explained, "Sir, the plus version is currently in the trial phase and is not for sale yet. I'm really sorry for that."
Emma, standing beside John, also said, "John, I think this model is enough. I don't need something that good..."
John shook his head and said to her, "If you're going to use it, you should use the best one. I'm not short on money."
Then, he turned to the store owner and said, "I'm currently using the plus version, and it's a machine I got three months ago... Why could I use it before, but I can't buy it now?"
Upon hearing this, the store manager quickly understood.
Because three months ago, the only people who could use the future 2plus version were the directors of the 'O' company and...
"Could you be... the champion of the national gaming competition held by our company?"
John crossed his arms and nodded, "That's me."
The store manager's attitude became even more respectful, and he hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, sir. I'll contact the headquarter to see if I can arrange a unit for you."
John nodded, "Then hurry up."
The store owner returned only two minutes later with a positive response from the headquarter.
"Sir, A latest Plus version has been arranged for you. You are our company's top-tier member, and it's an honor to serve you!"
John nodded, "How much is this Plus version?"
"It's a total of 500,000 dollars..." The store manager's voice lacked confidence when he said this.
After all, the price was quite astronomical.
Without any hesitation, John nodded and said, "Good, then I'll take this one. Please deliver it to my apartment within a week."
Sophia, who was standing by the side, was completely stunned.
If the machine was priced at five 500,000 dollars, wouldn't her commission more than double?
The store owner quickly gestured for Sophia to process the payment.
Sophia felt as if she was sleepwalking.
She didn't know how she went to the cash register, nor how she returned.
All she knew was that this man named John was an extremely generous wealthy man.
As for the female manager who was left aside, she was so regretful that she was almost tearing her hair out.
How could she be so unlucky today to offend such a big spender, who was also a high-level VIP of the headquarter?
But there's no use crying over spilled milk.
After John left with Emma, the store owner sought out the female manager and gave her the news of her dismissal.
She was stunned and quickly said, "You don't have the authority to fire me!"
The store owner shook his head helplessly and said, "This decision was made by the headquarter. When they found out that you offended Mr. Foster, they thought you were no longer suitable to be a service staff member in our company."
"You should leave."
The female manager was as shocked as if she had been struck by lightning, slumping to the ground.
After being swept out, she probably wouldn't be able to find another job as good as this one at a company like 'O'.
...
After leaving the specialty store, John took Emma to eat some delicious food and bought her a few expensive clothes.
After all, the girl had given her first night to him, and he couldn't be too stingy.
In the evening, they took a cab home.
John first sent Emma back to her house, then returned to his rented apartment.
The reason he didn't keep Emma overnight was because he decided to level up.
Although Silver Tear wouldn't be available until three days later, if everyone else was leveling up and he being lazy, he would feel guilty.
So, even without an Exp bonus, he wanted to practice more in the game.
After entering the game, John didn't waste any time and directly stepped into the twisted stone gate.
His all-night leveling journey began.
...
Three days later.
During these three days, except for the occasional visit from Emma when they would "spar" with each other, John spent the rest of his time leveling up at home.
Unconsciously, John had reached level 49.
He was just one level away from pulling his next random talent!
But to his surprise, advancing from level 49 to level 50 required a whopping 50,000,000 Exp points!
Although he was getting four to five million Exp points each time he was killed, 50,000,000 was still a huge number for him.
Just as John was preparing to make a push to level 50, a private message popped up in the lower right corner of the interface.
John opened it and found that it was a private message from a player named "White Feather".
"Hello, I have fulfilled our contract and collected 10,000 drops of Silver Tear. Can we trade now?"
Upon seeing this message, John was immediately excited.
With the blessing of Silver Tear, his leveling speed would definitely be faster!
He hurriedly replied, "Good! Let's do it."
John walked over to the statue and placed the remaining one hundred gold coins on it.
The gold coins disappeared, and in their place, a silver basin filled with Tear appeared in front of John.
White Feather sent a message, "OK, transaction successful! If you need more in the future, boss, you can DM me anytime... Oh, by the way, we now have six new 'Silver Knight' players and three 'Silver Priests' in our church, and they all want to cooperate with you."
"If you want to purchase a large amount of Silver Tear in the future, we can help you get it, at the same price as before."
This was another piece of good news.
What John was most worried about was that relying solely on White Feather, it would be difficult to scale up the production of Silver Tear.
But now there were a full ten people. That meant the production of Silver Tear was ten times what it was before!
He immediately replied, "Great, Pleasure working with you! You can quickly gather Silver Tear in the way I previously requested, and I'll provide you with enough gold coins."
"Now, can prepare 100,000 drops of Silver Tear for me? I'll send you the deposit soon, and you deliver it to me in three days, just as before."
Both parties quickly signed the contract, and then John sent over the sufficient amount of gold coins, completing the initial transaction.
For him now, gold coins were just a number.
After all, he could get dozens of gold coins every time he died.
As long as it could help him level up quickly, any spending of gold coins was worth it!
After closing the chat channel, John focused all his attention on the "Silver Tear" in front of him.
Although there were 10,000 drops of Silver Tear here, they were all of normal grade.
If he wanted to level up quickly, he had to refine it.
Fortunately, he had long prepared the necessary equipment, and refining didn't require a high proficiency in alchemy.
Therefore, John quickly started the refining.
After being busy for a while, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the droplet of Tear in front of him, which glowing with a radiant light.
[Silver Tear (Rare): Holy water of the Silver Church, said to be the divine tear bestowed by the Silver Angel, extremely precious. This holy water has been refined from one hundred drops of Uncommon Tear. Apply a drop to your forehead to temporarily increase your spiritual power and intelligence by 25% (lasting 3 hour), and gain +1000% Exp points.]
