117: The art of bargaining [pt2]

"-and look at this here. This is a design fault, right? Are you sure you cannot lower the price of this artifact for me? I can pay you the right price for it."

Keith watched on proudly as Shimi haggled the price down by a fair margin. The shopkeeper was not able to take her innocent looks and soft voice. 

But despite coming across as 'soft', Shimi was unyielding in what she wanted from him. Just like the shopkeepers before this one, the man bowed in front of Shimi. Her beauty as well as her keen eye made her a formidable opponent.

"Shimi, this one as well. I can see that this one can be bargained down as well."

Keith handed Shimi another potion he wanted to buy. And Shimi took it without much fuss. She was willing to do Keith this favor since he had taught her how to bargain.

"A-Alright. I will sell it to you at half the market price, alright?"
