Chapter 168 The First Customer

Five million taels is not a small amount.

The reward for A-level tasks is usually between 150,000 taels and 1 million taels.

Only S-level tasks can get more than 1 million taels.

Five million taels is equivalent to five S-level tasks.

Five million taels of ninja tools?

After hearing Richard's words, Sasuke frowned.

Although he is not as poor as Naruto, he would still be reluctant to spend five million taels to buy a ninja tool.

The money he has now is all the inheritance left by his parents.

To put it simply, he can't support himself by doing tasks alone.

After a few seconds of silence, Sasuke said to Richard: "Okay, I will go there with the money tomorrow."

Although he didn't know what ninja tool required five million taels to buy, he didn't think too much.

In other words, even if Richard sold him an ordinary kunai, he would accept it.

At most, it would be tuition!

After hearing Sasuke's answer, Richard did not hesitate and immediately performed the instant body technique and returned home from the river.

After taking a comfortable hot bath in the bathroom, he went to the bedroom in his bathrobe and began to sleep.

The next day at noon.

Richard opened his eyes, washed up, left home, and walked towards Ichiraku Ramen.

Although he no longer needed to rely on eating to provide energy for his body, he only needed to bask in the sun, but as long as he had time, he would maintain normal eating habits.

Food really couldn't bring him much energy now, but eating was not just to fill his stomach.

Even if you are not hungry, simply enjoying food is a very pleasant thing for your body and mind.

Coming to Ichiraku Ramen with ease, Richard and Ayame ordered two bowls of pork bone char siu ramen.

Not long after, he finished his lunch today, paid the bill and left Ichiraku Ramen, heading towards the newly opened ninja tool shop.

It was not until after one o'clock in the afternoon that he started today's business.

Although his ninja tool shop is located in the downtown area, compared with other nearby shops, his ninja tool shop is as deserted as it can be.

Konoha is indeed one of the five hidden villages, and it is also the most powerful hidden village in the Naruto world.

But there are still many ordinary people in Konoha.

Ordinary people are not interested in ninja tool shops, so naturally fewer people come to Richard's shop than other shops.

In addition, he did not promote the ninja tool shop at all, and it was only opened yesterday. Most of the ninjas in the village did not know that a new ninja tool shop had opened here.

Even if the ninjas in the village knew about it, when they came into the store and saw the prices of vibranium kunai, vibranium dagger, and vibranium samurai sword, they would think Richard was crazy.

The regular style of vibranium kunai is priced at 3 million taels.

The three-pronged vibranium kunai is priced at 3.5 million taels.

The vibranium dagger is priced at 6.5 million taels.

The vibranium samurai sword is priced at 10 million taels.

Although Richard only asked Sasuke to bring 5 million taels last night, this was a special price he gave to Sasuke. Others would not have such a good price.

Richard thought it would be like yesterday, with no customers all day.

But it turned out that he was wrong.

Less than half an hour after he opened the door, the Ninja Tool Shop welcomed its first customer since its opening.

When he saw the other person, he immediately frowned.

How could it be her?

The person who came to the store was none other than Mao Yue Xi Yan, whom he had just passed by yesterday.

She was dressed the same as yesterday, without any difference.

Although he was a little surprised by Mao Yue Xi Yan's arrival, Richard still stopped developing the new Maruko, stood up, and said to Mao Yue Xi Yan: "Welcome."

After hearing his words, Mao Yue Xi Yan looked at Richard calmly and said slowly: "Hello, I'll take a look at the Ninja Tools."

"Okay, take a look at it casually."

Richard replied.

Mao Yue Xi Yan nodded and walked towards the Ninja Tool display cabinet.

When she came to the front of the display cabinet and saw the neatly arranged Vibranium Samurai Swords inside, or more precisely, when she saw the price tag next to the Samurai Swords, she showed an incredible expression.

Ten million taels?

Is he serious?

Is the price written wrong?

Although Uzuki Yugao came to the Ninja Tool Shop to contact Richard in order to complete the mission of the Third Hokage, the price of the Vibranium Katana still scared him.

10 million taels!

For a katana, this is undoubtedly a sky-high price.

One tael in the Naruto world is equivalent to ten yen.

In other words, 10 million taels is equivalent to 660,000 US dollars.

Although ninjas have a much stronger ability to make money than ordinary people, it is still a bit too much to spend so much money on a katana.

Richard was not surprised that Uzuki Yugao showed a shocked expression.

People in this world don’t know what vibranium is at all, so they think the price of the vibranium katana is too exaggerated.

If they knew, they would rush to buy it even if it cost 100 million taels.

This is vibranium!

A vibranium katana more than one meter long is only sold for 66 US dollars, which is not ordinary cheap.

After calming down her inner shock, Uzuki Yugao looked at the vibranium katana next to her.

Then, she knew that Richard did not write the wrong price, but was serious.

He is indeed suspicious!

Last night, she suddenly received a new mission from the captain.

Although the captain did not clearly tell her why she wanted to monitor Richard, and she could not use conventional surveillance methods, she needed to have face-to-face contact with Richard to gain his trust, so as to find out his true purpose of coming to the village.

It has been quite some time since Uoyuki Xiyan joined ANBU, but this was the first time she encountered such a strange mission.

On the surface, ANBU can do any task.

But in fact, the most common task performed by Anbu is to kill people.

Assassination Tactics Special Forces!

This is the full name of ANBU.

Apart from anything else, just by looking at the full name of Anbu, you can know what kind of army Anbu is.

Although Anbu ninjas usually perform tasks such as surveillance, intelligence collection, and protection of important personnel, what they are best at is killing people.

Uozuki Xiyan observed all the ninja tools displayed inside, and then came to a conclusion.

Richard is definitely not a serious businessman.

Not to mention that the selling prices of the products are ridiculously high.

The quantity and variety of goods are also seriously insufficient.

8 three-pronged vibranium kunai, 8 regular vibranium kunai, 2 vibranium daggers, and 2 vibranium katana swords.

All added up, there are only 20 ninja tools in the display cabinet.

For a ninja shop, even if it is on the verge of bankruptcy, there will not be so few ninja tools in the store.

The first thing Richard did when he came to the store was to put away the other 7 three-pronged vibranium kunai and 1 vibranium broken knife.

As for the vibranium katana, he only placed two out and kept one for himself.

He did this not because there was anything wrong with the three-pronged vibranium kunai and vibranium daggers he took back, but to keep the number of ninjas in the store at just 20 pieces.

In addition, before all 20 pieces of ninja tools are sold out, he will not use vibranium to make new ones, nor will he sell the ones that have recovered the system space.

He planned to keep the system space he had reclaimed for himself.

If he hadn't been on a mission, Mao Yue Xiyan would definitely have left without looking back.

But now, not only did she not leave, but she also turned to Richard who was sitting behind the counter and said, "Can I try it out?"

After hearing what Mao Yue Xiyan said, Richard replied: "Originally, it's not allowed, but you are our first customer, and you are also a beauty."

"Just take whichever one you want to try. By the way, these ninja tools are very sharp. Be careful of accidentally injuring yourself."

Although there is nothing special about the kunai and katana made of vibranium, they are just different in color, they are silvery white.

But the sharpness of vibranium kunai and vibranium katana is no weaker than the Kusanagi sword collected by Orochimaru.

In other words, not counting other things, just looking at the sharpness, the vibranium kunai and vibranium katana are sharper than the Kusanagi sword.

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

Maoyue Xiyan replied.

That being said, she didn't think the vibranium katana in the display cabinet could be very sharp.

Although she is not a jounin, she is a special jounin.

But her swordsmanship is no weaker than that of a Jonin.

In other words, it was because her Konoha-style swordsmanship was superb enough that she could become a special jounin.

Opening the showcase, Uoyuki Xiyan took out the vibranium katana in front of him.

It is very light, less than half the weight of a regular katana.

As soon as he got the vibranium katana, Uzuki Xiyan found that the weight of the vibranium katana was much lighter than he expected.

Although the lighter the weight of the katana, the easier it is to wield.

But too light weight will also affect the cutting power.

After feeling the weight of the vibranium katana, Uzuki Xiyan began to carefully observe the vibranium katana in his hand.

Then, an unexpected expression appeared on her face again.

Is it actually built in one piece?

She originally thought that the blade and grip of the vibranium katana were separated from the body of the blade just like a normal katana.

But she soon discovered that was not the case.

Whether it is the blade, the grip, or the texture on the grip, they are all formed in one go.

Is he really a knife maker?

Isn't this forging method too strange?

Mao Yue Xiyan unconsciously turned her head and glanced at Richard sitting behind the counter.

Richard noticed Mao Yue Xiyan's gaze, but he didn't take it to heart at all.

Although he did not use conventional forging methods, he was not worried that anyone could guess the manufacturing method he used from the vibranium katana and vibranium kunai.

Because strictly speaking, he did not forge the vibranium katana and vibranium kunai, but kneaded the vibranium that melted into liquid into a katana and kunai.

Although the method is a bit simple and crude, due to the properties of vibranium itself, this method will not affect the sturdiness and sharpness of the vibranium katana and vibranium kunai.

Maoyue Xiyan withdrew her gaze from Richard and waved the vibranium katana in her hand.

Because of its lighter weight, the vibranium katana is indeed much easier to wield than the katana she carries now.

But she doubted whether a vibranium katana of this weight had enough cutting power.

After thinking for a moment, she took off the katana she carried with her and prepared to test it on the spot.

After seeing her actions, Richard's voice immediately rang out.

"I advise you not to do this."

"If the katana in your hand has any special commemorative significance or the price is very expensive, you will definitely regret it."

Richard reminded Mao Yue Xiyan seriously.

Although he had good intentions, unfortunately, his kind reminder was taken by Mao Yue Xi Yan as a sign that he didn't dare to let her test the vibranium samurai sword.

Is it really just a fake?

This thought immediately flashed through Mao Yue Xi Yan's mind.

Although she didn't say anything, Richard saw her inner thoughts and continued, "Although I am not a famous swordsmith, the samurai swords I make are definitely top-notch."

"If you don't believe it, you can test it now."

"If my sword is damaged, you are not responsible."

After thinking for a few seconds, Mao Yue Xi Yan slowly said, "Okay!"

After that, she held the vibranium samurai sword with her right hand and the samurai sword she carried with her left hand.

Normally, to test whether a samurai sword is sharp, you don't need to chop it with another samurai sword. You can just chop straw mats or bamboo with the samurai sword.

But because Richard's shop didn't have straw mats and bamboo for testing, she could only use two samurai swords to chop.

Under Richard's gaze, Mao Yue Xi Yan raised the two samurai swords in her hands.

Then, she exerted force with both hands at the same time, letting the vibranium samurai sword and the samurai sword she carried with her chop each other.

Clang!

The crisp sound of metal collision suddenly sounded.

The next second, there was another clang of metal falling to the ground.

Without any surprise, Mao Yue Xi Yan's samurai sword was cut into two pieces by the vibranium samurai sword.

The broken blade fell to the ground under the action of gravity.

This...

Seeing that the samurai sword she carried with her was easily cut off by the vibranium samurai sword, Mao Yue Xi Yan showed an incredible expression.

Although the samurai sword she carried with her was not a rare treasure, it was also specially provided by the Anbu.

Compared with ordinary samurai swords, both the sharpness and the sturdiness are much better.

However, now, the samurai sword provided by the Anbu was easily cut off by the vibranium samurai sword like a fragile branch.

What he said was actually true?

Mao Yue Xi Yan looked at the half-broken katana in her hand and the vibranium katana without even a gap on the blade with an unbelievable look on her face.

After seeing the sharpness of the vibranium katana with her own eyes, she finally knew that Richard would set the price of the vibranium katana at 10 million taels.

Although the price of 10 million taels is indeed a bit scary, judging from the sharpness and sturdiness of the vibranium katana, 10 million taels is not an unacceptable price.

After taking a few deep breaths and calming down, Mao Yue Xi Yan first put the broken katana back into the scabbard.

Then, she came to Richard with the vibranium katana and said to Richard: "Can it be cheaper?"

"Again, you are the first customer of this store, and you are a beautiful woman."

"If you really want it, I can give you a 20% discount."

Richard said seriously.

Although 20% off still requires 8 million taels, this is already a very sincere discount.

If Mao Yue Xi Yan still thinks it is expensive, then there is nothing we can do.

…
