"It seems you are aware of what part of the market you want to target with your VR-Slime cards," Jill was not surprised that the boy did not fall for her act but was shocked that he knew exactly what she planned to do with the 4 million VR-Slime cards. Well considering that she contacted him not long ago asking him to let her father and his friends invest in his VR-City project she understood how the boy came to such a conclusion. 

"Considering the prices of these cards I do not have many options now do I," I am clear that if I were to sell the VR-Slime card for its original market value only the rich and powerful could afford it. In this world, the rich and powerful were the world leaders. So guessing my target clientele wasn't hard. 

"I just contacted my father. He is willing to buy all four million VR-Slime Cards agreeing to your odd set of terms and conditions. So name your price," Jill's father knew the significance of the Soul energy digestion effect for an army so he did not mind spending a fortune to equip his army with the VR-Slime cards. 

"60 devil-grade ingredients for four million F-rank VR-Slime cards," I stated the first sky-high price that came to my mind. 

I was able to make 10 million VR-Slime cards for the cost of 19 devil-grade ingredients, and for 60 devil-grade ingredients, I can roughly make 31.5 million VR-Slime Cards. Even if I give away half of them for free I can sell the rest of the cards for the same price to other wealthy world leaders trying to strengthen their personal armies with the 'Soul Energy Digestion' effect of the VR-Slime card. 

"Devil-grade ingredients? You sure want to trade using devil-grade ingredients?" Jill asked the boy in confusion because she has never heard anyone conduct such a big transaction using devil-grade ingredients. 

"Yes, it is less hassle that way," I said casually, not going into detail about it. 

"Your choice, however, 60 devil-grade ingredients for 4 million F-rank cards is too much, and adding your absurd terms and condition on the usage of the cards it's not the correct valuation for the cards. 30 devil-grade ingredients that is how much I am willing to offer," Jill knew the valuation of four million F-rank VR-Slime cards could easily suppress 60 devil-grade ingredients but the two conditions art by the boy lowered their valuation by a huge margin. Considering that the buyer cannot resell them but only gift them, the 30 devil-grade ingredient valuation of hers for the four million VR-Slime card could be considered more than generous. 

"Jill, you are not just any F-rank card, it's the VR-Slime card. It has the coveted 'Soul Energy Digestion' effect. You and I both know that these cards are worth more than 60 devil-grade ingredients let alone the 30 devil-grade ingredients that you offered," yes, the condition I set for buying the VR-Slime Cards was extreme but considering that Jill's father was buying these cards to strengthen his army and not make a profit by selling them, this condition did not affect his purpose. So I felt that it was a bit shameful on Jill's part to use those conditions to lower the valuation of the cards. 

"Wyatt, regardless of their effect, the conditions set by you for the buyer are extreme so I think the price I state is generous compensation for those cards," Jill brushed off the 'Soul Energy digestion' effect of the VR-Slime card and continued to focus on the conditions set by the boy to decrease the price of the cards. 

She shamelessly downplayed the effects of the card despite being fully aware that the only reason her father was buying the VR-Slime cards was for their 'Soul energy digestion' effect. 

"Jill, by now you should know better than to play these obvious games with me. Since you do not get it, let me make it clear, 70 devil-grade ingredients for the four million F-Rank VR-Slime cards. If you think the price is too steep or don't like the price, find someone who will sell you the cards in your price range," I said, implying that I was the one person she could buy these cards from, so she should not piss me off by trying to rip me off. 

"Fine, what about the exclusive discount you offered me?" Jill knew, combining her father and his friend's personal armies, four million VR-Slime cards would not be enough for them. They will need more so she wanted to control the pricing of the cards right at the beginning but she was taught by the boy that many buyers were lining up to buy his VR-Slime cards but there was only him selling these cards. 

Jill did not need the boy to remind her that there was only one seller and many buyers so the seller controlled the price by default but she hoped that she could bullshit the boy into getting her way. Considering her past with the boy she knew her plan had very low chances of working on him but she thought it wouldn't hurt to try. 

"60 devil-grade ingredients for 4 million cards, that is my selling price after the exclusive discount. Take it or leave it," I said nonchalantly, knowing that Jill would get a bigger commission if she were to get the cards for a lower price. Since she could screw me over to increase her profits I did need to be subtle about my monopoly over the cards with the 'Soul energy digestion' effect. 

"Okay, you win. 60 devil-grade ingredients for four million VR-Slime cards," Jill surrendered knowing that the boy held the monopoly and she could only bow to his will. 

"Good, let us draft a soul contract," I nodded in satisfaction seeing Jill throw in the towel.
