Con him
Juan was slightly nervous "Erm-, actually there is this, could you sell me something advanced? You can send it to me after all. The stuff from the shop is not very useful." Azul nodded, smiling. "I can sell you a space-ring to store your stuff, 20000 TG. It is a great item for beginners. There is an area of five cubic meters inside. You can put hundreds of daily food, clothes and weapons."
Juan immediately bargained "6000 TG"
Azul frowned "Are you serious?". Juan was a little nervous, "OK, sell it for 15000 TG."
Azul snickered inside. 'Hahaha, he's a great idiot. I pushed the 100 TG thing to 150 times. Hahaha'
"Juan, I can sell you a valuable method. It is called bodybuilding method. It is advanced level. Considering the stage you at, you are unlikely to find such a method. I will give it to you for 60000 TG."
Juan squinted his eyes and said "Isn't this too expensive? I will have to give my life energy to this and if I spend that much, I will be putting myself at great risk. I think, I will find it much cheaper in the future. "
Azul shrugged "Well, however you like, but you don't know what will happen in the missions. I send the ring, accept the package."
A lot of life energy would be gone the moment Juan approved the ring in the system. While looking at Azul, Juan thought 'As the ring's bargain ended, She revealed something else of interest. Then she immediately asked for the money for the ring. There is something fishy is going on."
He did not approve and told Azul "Azul, a question came to my mind. It is 100 TG right? Can I ask?"
Even though Azul was slightly nervous, without spoiling her professional smile "Sure, come on!"
"How much does a 5 cubic meter space ring cost on planet Taelda?" Juan smiled.
Azul squinting 'Hmph, idiot, it means you will get my money back. How naïve you are.'
she thought and shook her head "I haven't been to Taelda for a long time. I do not know."
'System Alert! Azul answered the questions she knew and deserved to receive 1800 TG of the account.
'System Alert! The expert was suspended from the interview because she did not know the answer to the question.
'System Alert! Do you want to search for a new expert?'
Juan clenched his fist in anger. "Damn woman. She tried to defraud me. Of course, she knows how much it is. If the idiot had a small gain, it didn't have to be that way. She definitely asked dozens of times for the ring. The price of the ring is probably 1000 TG or something."
"System link to new expert. "
The projection of an old woman reflected. Nodding to Juan "Tell me, young agent, what are you asking?"
Juan smiled "I am a new agent and I want to buy a space ring. I have to be level 10 to get it from the forums or Taelda. Can you sell it to me?"
"Why not?" she said. 'Since he wanted it directly, he must have heard it from another expert. Since he didn't buy it from them, there are two possibilities, either he found the price high, or he wanted to be sure of the price. Anyways, I will con him as long as I can.'
The old woman raised her hand and 5 rings appeared "the first is 1 cubic meter, the second is 5, the third is 10, the fourth is 100, the last is 1000 cubic meters. Prices, 100 TG, 1000 TG, 2400 TG, 12000 TG, 200000 TG "
"Since you are a new agent, you could not earn much, since you will use your life energy, I will give you 2400 TG of 10 cubic meters. It doesn't hurt too much. What else do you need? I can give you everything for cheap. For example, would you like armor at the gathering-energy level for 60 percent of the price in the system?"
"There are models that use 5, 10 or 15 energy per use. Their prices are doubling. Even the lowest level is comfortable for the first missions. Normal knives do not pierce into these armors. I'll sell it to you for 600 TG. It is 1000 TG in the system. If you want to spend a little life energy, I can give 2500 TG a wonderful armor that uses 15 energy. When you open a few acu points, 15-energy-use will not hurt you. I am sure you open it very quickly."
Juan's mouth dripped as he looked at the armor in the projection. They looked great. Juan nodded in agreement. The old woman smiled and sent the two items and collected the 4900 TG.
"What else do you want? Do you want method? Or a scroll of parchment. You can learn the technique according to the weapon you use. Techniques can increase the amount of damage you inflict with a weapon and its strength. The best techniques increase its strength 10 times, and the worst at least 1.5 times."
"Can you suggest me a spear technique?" he said. The old woman thought and after a few seconds "There are two techniques that increase its strength one is 3 times and the other one is 5 times. The one with 3 times strength price is 2000 TG, the other 9000 TG"
Juan immediately bought the technique that increased 5 times. Another 9000 TG decreased. Looking at Juan, the old woman said "Young, you pick up other things yourself over time. Go complete your missions! Time runs slower on tasks. You can learn techniques suitable for you in the places you go to do your duty." The old woman disconnected.
"The system show me my remaining income!"
Total TG: 0 LE: 41694
"Ohh! Not scarier than I thought. Eventually I got much stronger. I must tie the ring and armor first. Then I will transfer everything to the ring. After that, I can start my duty. "
Juan felt ready as he packed his stuff and said "System! Show me the tasks."

Turning his ring on his finger, Juan studied the tasks and thought 'If I choose hard, I will be level 10 for sure. But the chance of success is uncertain, so I can become level 10 by finishing two normal missions.'
"I'm taking the task of Defending The Ryu Gate."
'System alert ... Two agents are required for the task. Your friends list opens to invite for the second agent ...
System alert! No agent added to your friend list. The system initiated a new agent search.

Juan went through the yellow door to quickly begin his new quest.
