Chapter 151: Isn't Your Price Too High?
Chapter 151: Isn't Your Price Too High?
"Vajra Talisman?"
Jiang Cheng remembered what Nightingale had said the night before. The Vajra Talisman on her body was shattered by a shot from that heavy sniper rifle.
"It's a second-rank talisman, similar to the Iron Wall Talisman in nature, also used for defense, but with even stronger effects. It can block an attack from a heavy sniper rifle or a full-power strike from a fifth-rank Primordial Energy Warrior. Of course, it's only effective once."
Bing Li took another sip of coffee.
"You're only at the first rank now, and you haven't unlocked the necessary permissions yet. Even if your marksmanship is exceptional, carrying the Iron Wall Talisman into the wilderness might not be a problem if you don't encounter those people. But if you do, the outcome could be grim."
"Then the Vajra Talisman must be expensive, right?"
Jiang Cheng had a premonition.
Bing Li chuckled, seeing Jiang Cheng's pained expression, and said, "It's not cheap. Each talisman costs 100,000 yuan. After all, it's for life-saving purposes, so the high price is justified."
Bing Li smiled, seeing Jiang Cheng's pained expression, and said, "Don't worry. Once you reach the seventh rank, even if you're shot in the eyes or nose by a heavy sniper rifle, you'll only suffer minor injuries. If it hits your body, there won't be any harm at all. Only larger-caliber artillery can pose a threat to you, but it's too bulky to carry and easy to spot. If you discover it, evading it shouldn't be difficult. The same goes for the cannons later on—they're powerful but scarce, so it's not easy to hit you. Perhaps laser guns are harder to dodge, but those are prohibited items that only the Horn Clan possesses."
"The seventh rank..."
Jiang Cheng sighed softly.
Even with his Proficiency Panel, he felt it would take a considerable amount of time to reach that level.
For others, without a few years, or even a decade or two, how could they achieve it?
"Take it slow," Bing Li said with a chuckle.
After all, he was the person in charge within the guild, and the resources he obtained far surpassed those of others. Even so, he had only reached the seventh rank.
"So, with your current strength, it's best to stay put in the headquarters and not go out to hunt beasts. Beasts are dangerous, but humans are even more so."
"Mhm."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng decisively abandoned the idea of going outdoors.
Even if he was only at the first rank now, he felt it would be inappropriate even at the third rank.
After all, each Vajra Talisman was priced at 100,000 yuan, and buying just one would have limited effectiveness.
If Nightingale were here, or if he himself became a Mind Master, able to block bullets flying towards him, then going out would be more feasible.
Even then, it would only be in the wilderness.
For the mountains, it would be better to wait until he became stronger.
"Brother Bing Li, you mentioned introducing me to some ways to make money. Is this the only one? What about the others?"
"This is not just one, but two."
Bing Li glanced at Jiang Cheng.
"Okay, two. What about the third one?"
"The third one is related to your marksmanship."
"My marksmanship?"
"Yes, to put it simply, it's about selling lessons."
Bing Li smiled triumphantly, "For example, you're currently cultivating the Shattered Jade Fist, right?"
"Yes."
Jiang Cheng already understood what he meant.
"I also practiced the Shattered Jade Fist for a period of time. You can ask me for guidance, but you'll have to pay a fee. If this fee satisfies me, I'll teach you.
Similarly, since your marksmanship is exceptional, you can also teach those mid to low-rank Primordial Energy Warriors. After all, using guns in combat is quite convenient for mid to low-rank Primordial Energy Warriors. This method of earning money is fast and safe. The guild encourages such behavior, but let me remind you of one thing.
"What?"
"You can't teach others the Secret Arts purchased from the Society. If the Society finds out, they'll fine you the first time. If it happens again, it won't be as simple as just a fine."
Bing Li's expression turned stern.
Jiang Cheng indicated his understanding.
After all, this was essentially competing with the Dawn Society for business.
Blatantly stealing their profits.
But from another perspective, as long as the Dawn Society didn't find out, there wouldn't be any issues.
"Okay, I understand. As long as you don't break the rules, no one will trouble you unnecessarily."
Bing Li leaned back again, "In summary, these are the three ways to make money. For you right now, the third option is the most reliable, and you have your battle achievements as proof. With the Society backing you, everyone will believe in your skills. So, do you want to give it a try?"
"I'll give it a shot."
Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and agreed.
"By the way, Big Brother Bing Li, how much is the going rate for this?"
"For gun instruction, the price isn't high. Around 500 yuan per hour is about right. Some charge a bit more, a thousand or two per hour, but that's mainly for those with exceptional skills, basically high-level Primordial Energy Warriors. Some people don't just seek gun combat skills."
"If it's for Secret Arts, the price is much higher. The more powerful the Secret Art, the higher the instruction fee. There's also a situation where you're willing to pay, but the instructor might not be willing to teach. After all, it involves their life and livelihood."
Jiang Cheng nodded.
Fortunately, his Secret Art was just at the beginner level, and others might not dare to learn from him.
Only his Gun Mastery skill was something he could confidently offer.
Of course, if he wanted to be honest, there was one more skill he could teach—Roasted Sweet Potatoes.
But if he offered that, probably no one in the Society would be interested in learning it.
"So, what price do you have in mind?"
Bing Li asked curiously.
"Hmm, 2000 yuan per hour."
"???"
Bing Li's pupils dilated in an instant.
"Two thousand?"
He wondered if he had misheard.
"Two thousand."
Jiang Cheng smiled slightly.
"Although you can set any price, even 10,000 yuan per hour, are you sure you want to set it at 2000 yuan per hour?"
Bing Li couldn't help but say, "Even the high-level Primordial Energy Warriors in our Society charge only 2000 yuan for gun instruction."
"I know, but what I'll teach them is the real deal, worth that price."
Jiang Cheng said calmly.
In terms of shooting skills alone, he wasn't inferior to those high-level Primordial Energy Warriors, and might even be better.
In theory, with tens of thousands of bullets, one could train a marksman. But it also depended on the individual's potential and aptitude. Even if they became a marksman, if they didn't practice regularly and only focused on Secret Art cultivation, their skills would decline.
But that wasn't the case for him.
The memories were etched into his very bones.
As soon as he picked up a gun, he entered his optimal state.
"..."
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Bing Li wasn't sure if he should call him young and ambitious or arrogant.
"Alright then."
He shook his head helplessly, "Since you insist on setting this price, we'll do it your way. But I have to remind you, it's possible that after several days, no one will buy your lesson."
He felt that Jiang Cheng might not even sell a single lesson.
After all, Jiang Cheng was only a first-rank Primordial Energy Warrior...
"Hmm, I'm mentally prepared. Thanks, Big Brother Bing Li."
