It took Mr. Nian almost five minutes to relay everything to Ban.
"Now, knowing all of this, do you still want to waste your hard-earned Gold Coins for some information like this?"
Ban did not hesitate and he instantly nodded his head. He has already thought carefully about this before.
After he obtained the Core Manual, their consumption of Beast Cores had instantly doubled. He doesn't know if it will continue in the future but he thought that he should save up some Beast Cores while it's still early.
After all, compared to other Summoners, he can already have multiple summons even though he was still in the Singular Realm. And who knows how many 'Summons' he will need to take care of in the future.
And although he could just nurture Eva to advance to the next rank along with her, Ban thought that such an approach was not that good for him in the long run. Not only will his strength be dependent on Eva's advancement, he also doesn't like the feeling of just sitting back and making her do all the hard work.
And besides, his resolve was even more strengthened after realizing that he could actually absorb more Beast Core essence compared to Eva in the same amount of time.
One must know that Eva was a Queen candidate and her talent was definitely one of the best, if not at the top of her kind.
He doesn't know the reason why but he attributed it as the System helping and telling him that he should use this approach instead of passively waiting for Eva to rank up.
That's why he needs a lot of Beast Core right now. The more Beast Core he gets, the sooner he will rank up to the next rank.
Seeing that Leon only nodded his head in response, Mr. Nian glanced at one corner of the room before nodding his head.
"Alright then, wait for a bit as I get the relevant information for you!"
Mr. Nian stood up and disappeared on the door that the naughty kid from before used. And after a minute, Mr. Nian already came back with a thick book in his hands.
"These are the copies of the information that you wanted. It includes even those X-Mortal Rank Lord Grade Beasts that were still alive."
"As for the priceā¦"
Mr. Nian paused for a second before looking in one direction of the room. As if he received some orders, he gritted his teeth and continued, "500 Gold Coins will be enough for the whole book. As the information was a little outdated, I will only charge you with a fourth of the usual price."
However, what Mr. Nian did not reveal that the 'little outdated' he was referring to was actually only two months ago. And the price, it was actually only one-fourth of the one-fourth of the whole price.
As for the reason why he deliberately lowered it, it was an instruction from 'above' so he could not refuse it.
Ban skimmed through the content of the book and crossmatch it with the information provided by the Book of Techniques, 'All About Them'. After confirming that almost all of their information was real, he finally heaves a sigh of relief as he took a total of 500 Gold Coins from his Dimensional Storage Earring.
With this, he could say that his Beast Core crisis was more or less resolved. He only needs to hunt them and obtain their Beast Cores. And the Gold Coins he earned from their Beast parts will also be used to buy Beast Cores as well.
Although he thought that 500 Gold Coins was very expensive for some information, he later thought that it was reasonable as it was information about Lord Grade Beasts after all. He reckons that even the Guild might not necessarily have the information of half of them.
If Mr.Nian heard him saying this, he would definitely spat out a mouthful of blood in anger.
Mother father! I already lowered the price by a large margin for you and yet you are still dissatisfied with it?! Expensive my ass, just return it then.
Fortunately, Mr. Nian doesn't have the ability to read minds.
Mr. Nian scrunched his eyebrows after seeing the 500 Gold Coins. He stared at Ban's fingers and noticed that there weren't any rings present on it. He was surprised as he did not expect him to have a Dimensional Storage Ring.
After all, even Mr. Nian himself doesn't have the privilege to own one.
However, in the end he just nodded his head and thought that it was only natural.
He was after all the adopted child of their founder- The Glorious Panda's family head, Sir Kuys.
After he handed the 500 Gold Coins, Ban no longer wasted any more time as he left the brothel in a hurry. He did not even take a glance at the dancing women on the platform as if their seductive dance no longer bothered him at all.
However it was only an act to deceive himself. He was after all a teenager who just recently came into contact with that kind of stuff. His mind and heart might be loyal to Emilia but his instincts were not. In the end, he could only suppress it forcefully.
Ban did not leave the blackmarket right away after he was done with the brothel. Instead, he looked around and tried searching for Beast Cores that he and Eva can use for the time being.
From what he observed so far, the prices on the blackmarket seemed to be cheaper compared to the same goods displayed in the Adventurers Market.
He later thought that it might be because they need to rent on the Adventurers Market hence the reason why the prices are higher compared to here in which every one can set up a stall almost anywhere to sell their goods.
Anyways, after searching for an hour, Ban finally left the Blackmarket. His gains this time were quite big.
He managed to buy a Normal E-Elite Rank Beast Core for only 8000 Gold Coins, 2000 Gold Coins less compared to the price in the Adventurers Guild. Not only that, he also bought two Elite Grade F-Apprentice Rank Beast Cores for Eva.
He also managed to save a lot after some haggling. He managed to buy the two of them for a total of 8500 Gold Coins. A Normal Grade F-Apprentice Rank Beast Core in the Adventurers Market costs around 6000 Gold Coins and above depending on the quality.
After he was done, he no longer stayed in the area and immediately set off.. However, unbeknownst to Ban, due to his 'massive' spending, a greedy eye was actually eyeing him from the dark.
