Chapter 1593 Exchange Deal

The worker's smile suddenly froze in place after hearing that.

"Y-you mean ten, right?" Thɪs chapter is updated by Novᴇ(l)ꜰɪre .ɴᴇt

"Ten thousand."

"A hundred?"

"Ten thousand."

"A thousand?"

Rean's mouth twitched after repeating his answer a couple of times. "Is this some kind of joke? I keep saying ten thousand, so it's ten thousand. Or what? Could it be that your bank can't exchange them?"

The worker quickly shook his head as he replied, "N-No! That's not it. It's just that no one would throw away so many Rank Two Divine Stones. They're a cultivator's lifeline, after all."

Rean was confused to hear that. "Throw away? I'm not throwing anything away. I'm just exchanging them for Rank One Divine Stones."

"That's the same thing," the worker answered. "First of all, it's rare for anyone to trade more than ten or so of them for lower rank Divine Stones. That's because they're much better for cultivation. If you try to buy Rank Two Divine Stones with Rank Ones, you will need to fork in quite a lot to convince the other party. And that's considering the other party is willing to trade at all. Just so you know, you need to pay 30 Rank One Divine Stones to get a single Rank Two in our bank."

Rean was very happy to hear that. "That's great! That means I'll get three hundred thousand Rank One Divine Stones. That's perfect for me."

"Of course not!" The worker immediately shook his head. "This is a bank, so we obviously sell them for more and buy them for less. Otherwise, there'll be no profit. If you want Rank One Divine Stones, you will get only twenty for each Rank Two."

Rean was taken aback to hear that. "That's pure daylight robbery! I would understand if you gave twenty-nine or maybe twenty-eight. However, only twenty Divine Stones when you're buying while you ask for thirty while selling? Isn't that too unfair?"

Well, Rean was expecting to trade his Rank Two Divine Stones for ten Rank Ones or so. The fact that he could get twenty was also far above what he expected. However, he was the one responsible for the finances of the Dimensional Realm. Naturally, he would try to negotiate as many as possible. That's also why he offered ten thousand in a single go. If he sold in bulk, he could definitely get a better price, especially after finding out the difference in price between buying and selling.

"Ten thousand Rank Two Divine Stones should be quite a deal to your bank, even if this is one of the biggest cities in Xinfia. Unless you give me a better price, I will try to trade with someone else," Rean threatened.

The worker didn't know what to do when suddenly, a voice came from further back the counter. "Raszas, you can leave it to me."

Raszas was obviously the name of the worker Rean was talking to until now. "Oh, Manager Rui. Please, go ahead." Raszas didn't have the authority to make any offers, so he was happy he didn't have to go to someone else to deal with it.

Rui then looked at Rean and said, "Ten thousand Rank Two Divine Stones is quite a small fortune, and that's already considering the top powers in our city or maybe even the continent. Where did you get this many?"

Rean shook his head as he replied, "Does it matter to your bank? If all you want to know is whether I robbed someone, I'm pretty sure your bank would have heard about such news already. Am I wrong?"

Rui couldn't help but smile after that. "Smarter than I thought. Indeed, if some of the big powers here had been robbed, we would have definitely been one of the first ones to hear about it. Anyways, what our bank cares about is profit, so I won't inquire any further about the Divine Stones' origin. Tell me, how much do you want for your ten thousand Rank Two Divine Stones?"

Rean then pointed at Raszas before saying, "He already said it. You sell Rank Two Divine Stones for thirty Rank Ones. In that case, I want three hundred thousand."

Rui immediately shook his head. "In that case, we won't make any profit at all. I'll give you two hundred and ten thousand."

Rean obviously didn't like it either. "Don't you feel ashamed to get a profit of ninety thousand stones from this one trade?" Rean then slammed the table as he continued, "Let's not drag this any further. Both you and I are going to counter the other's offer until we reach the middle. However, I'm not interested in that kind of offer. Two hundred and seventy thousand Rank One Divine Stones. That is my last offer."

Before Rui could say anything, Rean continued, "Don't tell me this deal isn't worth it. I would agree if this was some small trade. However, from the sheer size of the trade alone, your bank would still make a profit of thirty thousand Rank One Divine Stones if you sell them. I wonder, do you even make this many Divine Stones in an entire day of business? I highly doubt so."

Rui narrowed his eyes for a moment. Unfortunately, it was obvious to him that Rean would leave straight away if he didn't accept this offer. Rean was right. If this was a small trade, the bank wouldn't even consider it. However, due to the huge number of Divine Stones, this was indeed a very profitable deal, even if they were paying more than they usually did. "Fine! Two hundred and seventy thousand Rank One Divine Stones!"

Rean finally relaxed after that. To be honest, Rean would have accepted two hundred and fifty thousand, but he didn't show it on his face at all. "Thank you. Should we proceed with this trade?"

Rui nodded in response. "Please, follow me."

Around an hour later, Rean left the bank with a spatial ring filled with all the Rank One Divine Stones he traded for.

Naturally, Eliana's group noticed when he appeared. "So, should we go?"

Rean smiled in response as he sent the spatial ring into the Dimensional Realm. "Sure. I promised, didn't I? Let's go buy the materials."
