Chapter 66: Impressing a beauty! (a)

Disgracing the workers, flirting, or molesting them results in a customer getting blacklisted. Thus, he controlled his blazing teenage hormones and acted calmly.

"Master, please come with me," The catgirl said before leading Marvin to the Heart Blood section.

Nature-type magical beasts were little to none. Extremely rare. That's why Little beauty Celeste didn't have one nor did he found any while loitering around the black market. Thus, he came here to purchase one. He needed to create a nature type talisman to complete his profession quest, after all.

"What? It's ten times more expensive than other elemental hearts of the same rank," Marvin almost cried out but considering the fact that he was a gentleman, he stopped at the very last second.

A single rank-10 nature-type heart blood vial costs 5000 fed cash. That was ten times the price when compared to other elements. However, he had no choice and said to the catgirl, "Please pack a vial for me,"

"As you command, Master! Do you wish to purchase anything else?" The Catgirl cheerily replied. She seemed oddly enthusiastic. In her mind, she considered herself lucky to serve this young man as she would receive a certain commission for anything Marvin purchases. She wished that this wealthy gentleman would purchase some more costly items and make her day.

"Yes, show me where the nature type magical rune designs are," Marvin said, he hasn't learned a nature-type magical rune design and urgently needed one to complete the quest.

The school only had about 20 magical rune designs but not even a single one was related to nature.

"Master, please follow me," The cat girl said, walking around the corner, she led him deeper into the store.

"The mystic shop's finalized and unfinalized magical rune designs are all here. The cost of finalized magical rune design is higher than the unfinalized one's. Please take your pick. Of course, if these aren't to your satisfaction, you can have a chat with the manager for better ones," the catgirl said, doing her job like a professional salesman.

Marvin casually scrutinized the talisman on the silver shelf. All of the magical rune designs were covered by white paper. Upon the white paper, their effect and properties were entirely explained. The magical rune designs were covered with white paper as to not let others steal the designs. 

"Thanks. These will be enough." Marvin replied, he gazed at the nature-type magical rune designs with strong interest shown in his eyes. He inspected them thoroughly.

"I would like to purchase this one," In the end, he pointed at a nature-type magical rune design with the effect of hastening the growth of vegetables.

"A fine choice, Master. The price is" the catgirl's eyes shone in happiness as she wrapped it in a box.

After the purchase was made, Marvin was less by 20000 Fed Cash. However, he still had 80000+ Fed cash left in his bag. 'It's all thanks to you, Dale, I hope you suffer in hell,' he thought with a smirk.

"Alright, This is all I wanted to purchase! I wish to walk alone now!" Marvin said to the catgirl.

The catgirl nodded in agreement and went away.

After browsing for a bit, Marvin visited every area of the mystic shop. Only then did he saw the place he has been looking for. 

He instantly went to the place where the manager of the store, itself, and some staff were purchasing magical beast cores. 

"Sir, how may I assist you?" A young male staff who wore a fashionable western-style suit said when he saw Marvin approaching him.

"I would like to sell these two cores," Marvin said, and at the same time he took the two magic beast cores from his ring and tossed it over to the fashionable guys.

Rakhan casually scrutinized the cores on the wooden shelf. "Core of a rank-10 lava rat, worth 48k. Core of a rank-4 salamander, worth 13k," he described the item. "Sir, do you wish to sell them?"

"Ah, yes, but this one should be worth around 20 thousand," Marvin replied while pointing at the core of the salamander.

"How so?" Rakhan asked curiously, he was a professional salesman with more than ten thousand hours of experience. How could he be wrong?

"This is a mutated beast core. It can be in-laid in a runic weapon to grant it the ability, Fire Ball!" Marvin said.

Beast cores are of many kinds. Normal beast cores can be used to increase magic power. Elemental beast cores are extremely beneficial to elemental-type ability users. Whereas, mutated beast cores can be in-laid in runic weapons to grant them "Ability". They were the most pricey out of the three.

"Oh?" Rakhan and the store manager were a little surprised. "We will have to first check it in the Analyzer to make sure what you're saying is the truth. Please don't feel offended," they said.

"Fine by me," Marvin was in the same frequency as them. He had the skill "Inspection". That's the only reason why he knew what the effect of the beast core is. However, others need to use an analyzer or other stuff to check the properties of an item. However, even analyzers can't explain the properties of many items.

The rank-4 salamander core was placed in the analyzer. Soon, it displayed the core properties.

Item: Salamander core

Nature: Flame type

Effect: Increase the magic power of flame type user by 1.2 points. Increase magic power of non-flame type ability user by 0.2 points. Can be in-laid in a runic weapon to grant it the ability, Fire Ball

"He was saying the truth!" The staff members quietly gazed at Marvin, shock, and surprise was apparent in their eyes.

"Sire. Here you go, a total of 70000 Fed Cash." Rakhan kept the beast cores and handed over the money to Marvin.

He was about to leave when the manager stopped him.

"What?" Marvin asked.

The store manager bowed before saying, "My apologies, but may I ask if you are an appraiser?"

"I have a little bit of knowledge in the field!" Marvin lied with a straight face. Not even a single change was detected in his facial features. Thus, the store manager was made to believe that he was an appraiser. 

"A moment, please," Peter said before taking out his phone and talking to someone.

Marvin wasn't able to make out much of what he said but he was sure he was informing the other party about himself.

As Peter was talking to the twilight mistress, Lin walked up to Marvin and said, "Hello, my family young mistress would like to buy your eyes, you'll be paid handsomely. Sir, are you interested?"

"No! But I am interested in knowing whether you want me to bash your head or not. Crazy, fucker!" Marvin taunted and rolled his eyes at Lin.

What a weird fucking person!

"Sorry," Lin apologized and stepped back. He already knew how this was gonna go but still went on with it for the sake of his young miss. Sighing, he returned to her side, leaving Marvin bothered by his weird question.

Before he could continue mulling over and frustrate himself even further, the manager ended the call and said,

"Our young mistress has wholeheartedly invited you to the VIP client section. Sir, are you interested?" Peter said.

"Yes," Marvin nodded his head in agreement. He knew where this was going. He internally thought, 'And if it's really as I think it is then I must do my best to impress the so-called young mistress of the mystic shop.' 

"Then, please follow me closely otherwise, you might get lost," Peter warned with a mysterious look and started to walk.

Every second, his speed increased as Marvin chased after him.

Taking many twists and turns, they arrived before a wall that split open when Peter said something under his breath. It revealed a stairwell. After they went down the round stairs they arrived in a long hall that had lots of portrait paintings on both sides. Marvin was surprised, cause all of them featured pretty elves.

He could confidently say that elves were the prettiest creatures to exist in the world of today and damn these pictures although graceful were enticing and his blood was boiling.

"From here on, only you are allowed to go ahead," Peter said. He bowed and pointed his hand at the entrance of the room glowing in purplish light.

Marvin walked in and was gifted with the view of a beautiful partially exposed slender back. He couldn't see her face, but from the enchanting figure, slightly pointy leaf-shaped ears, and black, silky hair alone, he determined that this beauty could topple kingdoms with her beauty. He said,

"Why did you call?" Before he could finish his sentence, the beauty turned around to face him.

He got stunned seeing the face of the woman in front of him. She was as pretty as a painting.

Black, silky hair fell like a waterfall over her back. Two purplish thin braids hanged gently over her dainty, cheerful face. Sparkling purple eyes curiously eyed Marvin from head to toe.

"What's it that you wanted to say?" Her red, strawberry sweet lips moved up and down, as she said those words. Right above the strawberry lips was a small tender nose.

Hearing her voice, Marvin felt enchanted. Her voices sounded like a heavenly melody. Sweetness, innocent, and kindness were overflowing and streaming straight into his heart. 

"I want to press you beneath me," Marvin said under his breath.

"What? I couldn't hear what you said," She said while kindly smiling at him, revealing her pure white teeth.
