Scarlett Jennings was unaware of the various discussions outside arising from her actions.
She was a bit busy at the moment.
According to the agreement, out of the intermediary fees received tonight, fifteen transactions were for the original stall owner of this booth, and the excess was Scarlett Jennings’ reward.
The stall owner in the Ghost Market rarely sold a few items in a year; tonight, with so many transactions, even though it was only intermediary fees, it was enough to make the stall owner beam with joy.
When they came by, they were all friendly towards Scarlett Jennings and not envious of her reward.
Scarlett Jennings distributed some items to the six people in her group on the spot.
After all, verifying items and trading with other stall owners couldn’t be done solely by Scarlett Jennings and Nathan White.
Gregory Xander and his group, after finding their items, also came over to help.
So, what should have been a decent Mystical Sect competition, ended up being turned by Scarlett Jennings into a university student night market stall social practice assignment.
Even though Hannah Hearne successfully exchanged for her items, she couldn’t help but feel envious looking at Scarlett Jennings.
"Why wasn’t I in Scarlett’s group?"
If she went to the Taoism Academy as an exchange student from the Academy of Mystique, could she count as half a Master?
Callum Yuan merely glanced at her and said nothing when he heard this.
The rewards for redeeming items weren’t just bartering; some stall owners required participants to help complete certain tasks.
Callum Yuan exchanged tasks to get what he wanted and then traded with Scarlett Jennings’ group. Meanwhile, some people from the North City Taoist Academy tried to grab his items to pass the level.
Little did they know Callum Yuan only had the tag and not the item, and ended up beating them up.
So, not every Master could be like Scarlett Jennings.
At Scarlett Jennings’ stall, an old ghost who previously showed interest in a limited edition signed poster appeared again.
Because he couldn’t present something of equal official object to exchange, the old ghost left dejectedly before.
Scarlett Jennings thought he had given up, but as closing time neared, he returned.
Sneakily, he took out half a scroll.
The scroll seemed quite old, and upon opening, only half remained, but both the materials for mounting the painting and the pigments were top-notch, so the image remained clearly intact.
Because of this, Scarlett Jennings immediately recognized the anciently dressed man in the painting.
"My dear ghost friend, although this painting is only half, it’s still an antique. They say the figure in the painting has a remarkable background.
And can you smell that there’s a unique Shadow Energy lingering on it? This is my treasure; normally, I wouldn’t take it out. It’s only because I think we have a connection~"
The old ghost continued in a hushed tone,
"You’re about to close your stall, how about helping me see if I can trade that limited edition poster of Jeffrey Torres for it?"
Scarlett Jennings glanced at the painting and signaled him to put it away. Facing the old ghost’s hopeful gaze, she showed no emotion and simply said,
"This painting isn’t a masterpiece nor does it have much Shadow Energy left. The person might not swap their limited edition collectible poster for it."
Seeing the old ghost’s disappointment, Scarlett Jennings continued,
"But I can trade something else with you for it."
She wrote another tag for the old ghost on-site, setting a contract that once the competition ended, he could come to her to redeem the contents written on the tag.
The old ghost repeatedly looked over the tag content, happily handing over the painting to Scarlett Jennings, promising to seek her out later, and then vanished from the Ghost Market.
The elder judge from the Security Bureau’s earlier worries were entirely unnecessary.
Everyone in the Mystical Sect knows that a contract with a ghost is not to be easily broken.
Scarlett Jennings would only promise what she could deliver.
As the time drew near, contestants who had successfully qualified were leaving the Ghost Market.
Scarlett Jennings and Ashton Todd’s group also prepared to exit.
