Buying Land (2)

"Negotiable, based on the land offered."

The receptionist nodded and tapped her fingers on the tablet, her crystal pen floating beside her, jotting down his words in glowing script.

"Alright, that'll be one gold coin." She extended her hand without missing a beat.

Arthur's brow furrowed. "You charge to post missions?"

The woman raised an eyebrow, as if surprised by his question. "Obviously. Do you think we run this place for free? Posting missions costs time and resources. One gold is standard for purchase or sale requests."

'Tsk.' Arthur clenched his jaw.

He hadn't anticipated that.

'So much for thinking that I could run short-term postings to pressure sellers to reach out...'

Arthur weighed his options.

If he posted the mission for only two days and got no responses, he'd have to pay another gold coin just to repost.

That was a waste, even if his coin pouch was still heavy.
