Chapter 51 Blood is too expensive!
51 Blood is too expensive!
"Dragon material and also weapons this good? You... Are you sure you want to sell this?" she asked in shock, reading all this, and looked up to see Matt.
He nodded to her. To avoid raising suspicion, he pulled out his student token, which somehow has a high status.
"I'm a student of the Second Vampire Academy." Matt replied, and she was surprised but quickly nodded.
"If you want to sell so much good stuff in our store, then you deserve VIP treatment. Follow me so you can show me everything you want to sell to assess its quality." She said and led him into a VIP Lounge.
There was nothing to highlight about this place, so Matt focused on business.
The first thing was that he wanted to know the price of the blood, and when he found out, he felt his head hurt.
A while ago, he paid for one of the best hotels nearby, but this only cost him 5 Crowns each day, with everything paid for, including good quality food and even specialized massages. That was why he thought things were not so expensive in this world.
But he changed his mind now that he learned about the price of blood.
Maybe vampire balls were treasures and, therefore, expensive, but blood? He never thought it would be so expensive!
For starters, there are three types of artificial blood, which are the ones generally for sale.
Low Grade, Medium Grade, and High-Grade blood, the latter being the type of blood he has been drinking very frequently.
He initially thought that the frequency with which he drank it was because it was cheap, but no, it is not that it is affordable; it is that the Allens are immensely wealthy, and it was because of this that he realized that Professor Reagan seemed to hold him in even higher esteem than he expected, for that is the type of blood he has always received from him.
Low-Grade Blood costs between 10 and 20 Pounds a liter, depending on its purity. Being an effective blood type until the vampire reaches 10,000 Power, it makes quite a sense that it costs so cheap.
However, medium-grade blood has a price bump several times over, costing between 50 and 150 pounds per liter.
That's too high a price for just one liter!
It should be noted that a glass of blood, as explained in the books to be taken before each workout, is equivalent to a quarter of a liter. This means that with four workouts, a difficult amount of money to obtain for many people is already gone.
But, the most crucial leap is that of High-Grade Blood; each liter of this artificial blood costs between 500 and 1,000 pounds.
And Matt has had many liters of this grade of blood lately!
'Shit, I've got immense wealth in my belly by now from so much blood I've taken.' Matt thought when he heard about this.
It was good news for him, though, as it meant that real blood was even more expensive.
And yes, each liter of real blood costs over 3,000 pounds. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
That's why Matt smiled graciously and pulled out several things to sell.
A few liters of real blood, plus devourer blood, which cost less, but he didn't care because he had a lot of it. Plus, dragon materials and other low-value stuff he didn't need.
The fact that Matt brought out so much good stuff to sell caused the girl in front of him almost to get a headache, but the smile on her face never disappeared.
She was overflowing with happiness as she stood up with everything.
"Wait for me a moment, Young Sir; I'll bring you all the money from the sale of all this at once." She said with a big smile on her face and quickly went out.
At the same time, she was also to bring him some things Matt had bought.
So, time passed until the girl returned. She was accompanied by an older man who came smiling broadly.
"Young Sir, thank you for buying and selling in the Central Building. I am one of the organization's Managers; you may call me Manager Brown." He said as he introduced himself, and Matt did exactly the same.
"Thanks to you wanting to sell so much good stuff, we want to give you a VIP card at our store. It won't require anything from you; it's simply so you can access the higher level purchases; plus, with this card, you can enter any Auction held under our name in any of the Five Kingdoms." He said as he handed him a card.
Matt accepted it, "Thank you, Manager Brown. I will gladly take it." He replied and then handed him all the things he had purchased.
The Vampire Ball, different materials that he would soon find use for, and also clothes.
After this, he left the Central Building.
'I made a lot of money this time, and I only sold things that were unnecessary to me.' Matt smiled as he thought about the more than 20 thousand pounds in his storage ring.
After leaving the Central Building, Matt walked down the street toward the Hunters Guild.
He doesn't have much time to waste this time, because the Battle of the Halls of the Second Academy is about to begin. Therefore, it is better to be effective and do things quickly.
He soon arrived at a large building four stories high. Although it was tall, it was also quite wide and long; some people were going in and out.
They wore armor or light clothing with good defense, and some carried large weapons on their backs. The vast majority were vampires, but there were also those of other races, and even some half-vampire-humans passed through occasionally.
'It has the greatest diversity of races I've seen so far. As expected of a hunter's guild.' Matt thought, smiling, and walked in.
Inside, it was more elegant than he expected; Matt walked to the registration place, where a girl waited on him.
"Are you here to register or put in an application?" she asked.
"I'm here to register. Here's my ID." Matt replied and handed her his ID as a student of the Vampire Academy.
Being a student there, he naturally deserved respect, so the girl stood up to greet him quickly.
"Follow me, please." She said, and they both walked to the back of where they were standing.
Thank you very much for reading!
