Tang Ling was indeed overthinking it.
Would the Floating Ice Black Market, a big and powerful organization, trouble him for a few thousand Black Sea coins? If the staff of the Floating Ice Black Market knew about this, they would definitely grumble in their hearts. Where did this country bumpkin come from?
Therefore, when Tang Ling mentioned the mission, the staff of the Floating Ice Black Market did not react at all.
He picked up the communicator and confirmed with the captain.
The results came soon enough. The calculation method was a little more generous than Tang Ling expected. Even the 5,000 Black Sea coins from the Requiem Whale that Tang Ling bought was included in the Great Peak's profit, which was actually reasonable.
The results were soon out. The five Requiem Whales were sold for a total of 40400 Black Sea coins. After deducting the cost of the morning hunt (ship maintenance, energy consumption, and crew wages), the total was 530 Black Sea coins.
Tang Ling made a total profit of 39870 Black Sea coins for The Great Peak.
"Not a bad number." The staff praised Tang Ling with a smile. It was also the only emotional reaction from the staff of the Floating Ice Black Market.
Tang Ling, on the other hand, was alarmed. Why are they so calm? What should I do if they go back on their words?
"The base amount for this mission is 2,000 Black Sea coins, and we have a calculation method here. If it's 2,000 Black Sea coins, you can get 3% of the profit as commission. Every increase of 2,000 Black Sea coins will increase the commission by 1%. After deducting the initial 2,000 and the less than 2,000, it's 36000 Black Sea coins. It's 36000 Black Sea coins, which means … "The staff calculated quickly before he looked at Tang Ling." Congratulations, you can get 21% commission. "
The less than 2,000 is only 130 Black Sea coins, but the rules can't be changed, so we can only give you 0.5% more. Do you accept? "
Tang Ling was dumbfounded. How much? 21%? No, no, 21.5%? 21.5% of the 39000 Black Sea coins? For himself?
"Mr. Tang Ling?" The staff saw Tang Ling blanking out in front of him, so he called him again.
"Oh, it's fine. I accept. Who told me to miss out on a 2,000 Black Sea coin? " Tang Ling suppressed the urge to laugh out loud and pretended to be calm. He cleared his throat and pretended to be arrogant.
The staff smiled and continued to calculate. In the end, Tang Ling would get 8,572 Black Sea coins.
As for the number after the decimal point, who cared about it?
Tang Ling almost fainted from the sudden happiness. He never thought that the mission that he casually accepted would yield him such a huge reward. He thought it would be great if he could get 1,000 Black Sea coins as compensation.
The money was soon transferred to Tang Ling, but since the mission was a gimmick, it had to work as a gimmick.
Soon enough, slogans appeared in the mission hall of the Floating Ice Black Market. The content was that someone had completed the mission and received the reward of more than 8,000 Black Sea coins.
The incident would soon spread like wildfire. 8,000 Black Sea coins was not a small amount after all.
Come to think of it, the Floating Ice Black Market did not suffer any losses because the 8,000 plus Black Sea coins from the black market was definitely worth more than the money itself. For a long time to come, the missions in the Floating Ice Black Market would be a hot topic, and countless people would come to accept them.
Tang Ling did not want to care about all these trivial matters. He had gotten his hands on a huge sum of 13,000 Black Sea coins, so he should be thinking about how to convert the huge sum of money into power.
Should he carve another layer of spirit formation?
No, it was not realistic. First of all, where could he buy Level 9 vicious beast blood? Was the little money he had enough? He might as well fish it up in the Mysterious Store.
Hmm, the cultivation room must be the best.
On top of that, he could try other things other than food such as more efficient pills and super-advanced potions.
Most importantly, he would need the Purple Moon Combat Technique! With more than 10,000 Black Sea coins, he finally had a certain level of confidence.
"Mr. Tang Ling, is there anything else that I can help you with?" The staff asked formally when he saw Tang Ling spacing out.
"Oh, it's nothing much. I just want to know if I can buy an invitation to the big auction in the Floating Ice Black Market? "Tang Ling asked. The Purple Moon Combat Technique had always been on his mind.
"An invitation to the big auction? The Floating Ice Black Market has a certain quota. According to your requirements, we can give you one for free, "said the staff with a smile.
Tang Ling smiled with squinted eyes. He felt like he had gotten a big bargain.
The staff moved Tang Ling to another office and gave him something that looked like a recommendation letter.
With the recommendation letter, Tang Ling quickly got an invitation to the big auction from a pretty lady.
Why was it a set? Other than the invitation card, there were also matching cloaks and masks for the auction.
However, when the lady handed the set to Tang Ling, she asked out of politeness, "Dear Tang, what do you want to buy at the auction?"
"Purple Moon Combat Technique." Tang Ling did not intend to hide the fact that he could buy combat techniques in the black market as well. The Floating Ice Black Market was the biggest black market, so what if they had some good recommendations?
As expected, the lady reminded Tang Ling that he could check out the commercial district of the Floating Ice Black Market. Compared to the big auction, the Purple Moon Combat Technique was cheaper here and there was a higher chance of getting some good stuff.
Tang Ling agreed with her. Since he had gotten the auction set, checking it out was not a bad thing.
**
Floating Ice Commercial District.
It was a lot bigger than the Madame's Black Market Commercial District that Tang Ling had been to before.
The market for books was located in a huge ice castle. The Purple Moon Combat Technique was one of the bigger categories, so there was even a special office in the ice castle with professionals in charge of selling them.
Clatter! A bunch of USB drives from the old civilization were thrown on the big office table. The red-nosed old man opposite Tang Ling was the one in charge of selling the Purple Moon Combat Technique.
After a sip of wine, the old man pointed at the huge pile of USB drives on the table. There should be 50 to 60 of them. He said, "These are the Purple Moon Combat Techniques that meet your requirements. As for the detailed introduction, you can insert the USB drive here and you'll see it. Take your time. "
50 to 60 USB drives? How long would that take? Moreover, he did not know much about it. What if he missed out on something good?
Tang Ling did not touch the USB drives. Instead, he smiled and took out 10 Black Sea coins from his pocket and placed them on the table.
"Why don't you introduce them to me, old mister?" The old man must have learned this from Boss Huang without a doubt.
10 Black Sea coins was not a small amount. The redness on the old man's nose spread all over his face. He was obviously excited.
Tang Ling maintained his calm smile. Since he was considered rich now, he knew he should not be stingy when it came to spending money.
After putting away the 10 Black Sea coins, the old man's expression changed when he looked at Tang Ling. He started to pick and choose the USB drives on the table and pushed five of them to Tang Ling.
"The premium items are usually sent to the auction. Be it the big or small ones, they sell better than the premium items here. However, there are always some that slip through the net. They aren't worse than premium items, but they're a little lacking.
"These are the best goods here. Their origins won't cause you any trouble." The old man looked proud. After all, he was a professional.
Tang Ling nodded in agreement. He took the five USB drives from the old man and went through them.
Half an hour later, Tang Ling fell into deep thought.
Judging from the introduction, the old man did not lie to him, but just like what he said, all the Purple Moon Combat Skills were lacking.
Among the five combat skills, three of them were incomplete and lacked some content.
In particular, one of the books written by Luca only had one ultimate move. What the hell was that?
The other one was complete. It was rare to find a complete copy in the black market, and there was no problem with its origins.
Tang Ling did not know much about Purple Moon Combat Skills.
Tang Ling did not know anything about the Purple Moon Combat Arts, but based on his instinct, he had a feeling that this combat art was below average among the other combat arts.
He might be lacking in combat skills, but he would not compromise and learn some below average combat skill.
The last one was even funnier. It only had the most basic combat skills and no ultimate skills. How could this work?
Two minutes later, Tang Ling took the complete combat skill out and passed it to the old man. "I don't want this one. Eliminate it."
"It seems like you aren't a young man who likes to play it safe. A lot of people want this one, but they can't agree on the price. "The old man kept the USB drive and did not try to persuade Tang Ling anymore.
"Can you explain this one to me? It doesn't even have an ultimate skill that matches it? Why are you introducing it to me? "Tang Ling picked the strangest Purple Moon Combat Technique out of all the books and asked about it.
"It actually has an ultimate skill, but it's missing." After saying this, the old man took a big gulp of wine and said, "But even if it doesn't, in my eyes, it's still a good thing."
"Because among the existing content, it has the most solid foundation improvement, and no one who has bought it has ever regretted it. On top of that, even though it doesn't have an ultimate skill, there are some moves that aren't considered ultimate skills that are quite interesting. For example, this Threefold Punch. You can use a special technique to stack your punch force three times. The better you master it, the more power you can stack. You can even stack all three punches at 100% … "The old man did not have much to say about the complete combat skill, but he was very impressed by the incomplete one.
"Alright, I've decided. I'll take this one! " Tang Ling made up his mind right away. He was a very clear-headed person. Ultimate skills might be good, but Tang Ling felt like he was leveling up too fast and lacked a solid foundation.
Just like what Boss Huang said, he knew nothing about force exertion techniques and battle steps. To put it bluntly, Tang Ling was fighting in a barbaric and straightforward manner! He relied on his Precise Instinct!
"Fine. This one doesn't have an ultimate skill, so it's only 1,500 Black Sea coins. Believe me, if it has an ultimate skill that matches it, the price will be at least five times higher than this. "The old man was not bluffing. Most people would only pay attention to the ultimate skills of combat skills.
A few reference books were enough for the basics.
"Fine. Then, who is this Luca?" Tang Ling suddenly asked.
