Chapter 310: Skipping Grade (Part 1)

There were also quite a few Amulets for sale, and with a quick scan, she could see some people selling advanced level Amulets.

However, she didn’t see the elite level Amulet she was looking for.

"Take me directly to see the elite level Amulets."

"Alright, follow me."

Seeing her lack of interest, Yuno Lopes wasn’t surprised.

He found someone who looked like a manager, negotiated with them for a while, and quietly informed them that the person he brought was a big spender.

The person scrutinized Amalia for a while, seemingly assessing her identity, before nodding in agreement.

Elite level Amulets weren’t common in the black market.

Thar person led them to a small room where a real manager was present.

He heard that someone wanted to buy elite level Amulets, and they also possibly a big spender.

"Do you have any specific type of Amulets in mind?" the manager asked with a sly smile, there’s a glint in his eyes as if they were eyeing a fat sheep.

Amalia replied, "I’ll take whatever Amulets you have."

The manager nodded in satisfaction, confirming Amalia was indeed a big spender.

"We have elite level Amulets for attack, defense, and formations, but our stock isn’t plentiful, and the quality of some elite level Amulets might not be as good."

Amalia nodded earnestly, "I’d like to take a look."

The manager retrieved a square box from the counter and opened it.

There were six Amulets laying inside the box.

A faint streams of light flickered on the Amulets, and from the aura emanating from them, one could sense that these were indeed elite level Amulets!

Yuno Lopes was right; there were indeed many ways to navigate the underground black market.

"May I pick them up and examine them?" Amalia asked.

The manager squinted his eyes and chuckled, "That’s not possible. If they get scratched or damaged in any way, you’ll be held responsible. I advise you not to touch them; it’s better to just look."

It’s sound like unreasonable, but that’s how the underground black market operated.

Amalia had visited the underground black market in her past life, and the attitude of the seller indicated that the quality of these Amulets might not be so good.

When people sought out the underground black market, it indicated a demand, and the seller wasn’t worried at all about not making a sale.

Yuno Lopes was concerned that Amalia might be dissatisfied.

He already prepared to persuade her, but to his surprise, Amalia accepted it calmly, which earning Yuno Lopes’s admiration once again.

Amalia stared at the Amulets for a moment, "How is the pricing calculated?"

The manager replied, "The elite level attack-type Amulets are relatively high-priced, 2.5 times from the market price, while the defense-ttpe and formation-type are the same, 2 times higher than the market price."

Without hesitation, Amalia pointed to four of the Amulets, "I’ll take these two attack-type Amulets, this defense-type one, and this formation-type one."

The manager was momentarily stunned, not because of Amalia’s decisiveness, but because the four Amulets he chose were of better quality than the others, while the two he ignored were of slightly lower quality.

It wasn’t just luck; it indicated that the other party’s discernment was even better than he had thought, and his earlier tactics didn’t work on her.

The manager was a little bit incredulous and asked tentatively, "What about the other two? Don’t you want them?"

Amalia bluntly replied, "The quality isn’t good enough for twice the market price."

Now, the manager had to admit that the other party had keen eyesight and was generous in spending, which put him at ease.

"If you buy the remaining two Amulets together, I can decide on your behalf to calculate the price at the market rate. What do you think?" the manager proposed.

Amalia hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "That’s fine."

This time, it just happened that the seller had so much inventory on hand, and it might not be the case next time.

With six elite level Amulets, half of her savings were depleted, proving that money indeed evaporated quickly.

However, with the Amulets securely in place, she wasn’t worried anymore.

After settling the accounts, the manager also gave her a card, the same kind of pass Yuno Lopes had shown to the guard.

Next time, she wouldn’t need Yuno Lopes to accompany her if she want to come here; she could enter by herself.

"I knew I didn’t misjudge you; you’re indeed a big spender," leaving the underground black market, Yuno Lopes was in a good mood.

He then rubbing her hands together and said, "So, um, next time if I come to you for refining an artifact, could you give me a discount?"

Amalia knew there was a reason for his sudden flattery, so hearing this request she wasn’t surprising at all, "Sure."

Yuno Lopes excitedly patted her on the shoulder, "Thank you so much then."

The two of them then parted ways at the school gate.

The next morning, Amalia brought six elite level Amulets to the military compound to find her parents.

On the way, she received a message from Professor Frans, asking her to come see him in the afternoon.

Arriving at the military compound, Amalia handed two slightly lower quality elite level Amulets to her father.

Her father was immediately drawn by the potent energy within the Amulets, "The energy within these Amulets is so powerful, they must not be just advanced level Amulets, right?"

Amalia explained to them that they were indeed not an advanced level Amulet, but an elite level Amulets, it was rare on the market, and she bought them from the black market.

"These are two of them, Dad, you can take a look when you have time, but don’t copy them for now."

"Your current strength isn’t enough; if you copy them, it will drain all your spiritual energy in an instant," she specifically warned him, fearing he might be tempted to try.

Her father, unwilling to let go, he touched the two Amulets affectionately and said, "I got it, I’m not stupid. So, these are elite level Amulets."

"My mentor has something to do with me, so I’ll leave first. Mom, please keep an eye on Dad," Amalia said, still feeling uneasy and reminding them once again.

After her mother assured her that everything would be fine.

Amalia then left.
