“Oho… Thunder Crystal Venom Scorpion King… and some juice from a Camouflage Vine… you three are quite the hunters.”

He pulled out a strange monocle and strapped it to his left eye, cataloging the goods with lightning speed.

“Basic Jerboa pelts. Average quality. 5 tokens.”

“Scorpion carapace shards. These are decent–a bit fragmented, but the volume is there. 30 tokens.”

Riley watched him work, feeling a surge of anticipation. She was like a locust–if it could be looted, she took it. This haul was going to be massive.

“Riley, dump all that junk in your bag,” PineappleBeer said, looking back. “This is your only chance to turn those materials into cash. Once you’re out of the instance, these specific monster drops are just taking up space.”

Riley nodded and let the items spill out of her Inventory.

Clatter-!

Everything from Static Jerboa teeth to Iron–hide Boar bristles and bear paws hit the table.

Good’s professional smile faltered for a fraction of a second before he recovered, his eyes crinkling with even more greed. As a merchant, he loved a big inventory.

Good announced the final tally.

“Pleasure doing business,” Riley said with a nod.

“Now that our pockets are full, show us the good stuff,” PineappleBeer said, rapping on the table. “Don’t hold back, boss. We’ve got

the coin.”

Good smiled and waved a hand through the air.

Icons for various items appeared on the wooden board before him.

Riley’s excitement cooled. It wasn’t that the items were bad–for an average player, a blue–tier shield blueprint was a godsend.

But Riley didn’t need this stuff.

walked away from the WarWolf ambush with three blue items just from the apes‘ looting.

“Boss, you got anything else? Special–tier items?” Riley asked.

Good’s smile didn’t waver, but he

are… a bit advanced.”

spread his hands helplessly. “Traveler, my stock is scaled to the level of this zone. Your tastes

PineappleBeer scrolled through the list and shook her head in disappointment. “Yeah, nothing special. Just transitional gear. That blue shield is okay for a Tank, but useless for us.”

Riley refused to give up, scrolling to the utility tab.

Aside from standard health and mana potions, there were just miscellaneous items like Bug Repellent and Tinder.
