Chapter 423 (2/2)
”Oh? How did you figure it out?” Purple Wind Chime was curious because I had hidden my level and ID.
I simply said, ”So, how many Magic Consumables do you want, and when do you want them?”
Purple Wind Chime smiled. ”We would like to buy 200 stacks of Rank 9 Magic Consumables right away. It's a good deal, right?”
”It is. Which also means that it must come with a condition. What is it?”
”Hehe, you're a smart one for sure!” Purple Wind Chime smiled again. ”It's simple. We would like to book your Rank 10 Magic Consumable, the Dragon Soup, when you have it. You know, the good stuff that adds 2500 MP in one go? We want you to supply us with 200 stacks of Dragon Soup per week, and we'll pay you 10 gold for each Dragon Soup. Is that a deal?”
I nodded. ”I like straightforward offers. It's a deal!”
”Hehe. Can I add you as friend?”
”Sure.”
I sent her a friend request myself, and Purple Wind Chime's mouth immediately turned into an O-shape. Staring at me in shock, she murmured, ”Holy s.h.i.+t, you're the new MVP? Why the heck are you even hiding your ID, Lu Chen?”
”To keep a low profile, duh!” I smiled before changing the subject. ”So, is it just me, or is Monarch Descends planning something huge in Sky City? You don't need that many Magic Consumables usually, do you?”
”I'm just the runner, so I have no idea. You'll have to ask Xueshang yourself!”
”Haha, true. Come, let's trade!”
”Mn!”
I opened the trade window and selected 200 stacks of Dragonfish Soup. On Purple Wind Chime's side, she selected 20k gold. The trade was over in one second, and I could almost fill my imaginary pockets swelling up visibly. During the tournament, I won 500k RMB for being the runner-up and 2 million RMB for being the MVP, so that was 2.5 million in total. In total, there was almost ten million RMB sitting in my bank account right now. Normally, this was enough money to buy a house and marry me a wife, but… that was only if the girls I wished to marry were normal girls. Otherwise, ten million wasn't even close to being enough...
Well, nothing I could do except work harder and earn even harder. This was my life's pa.s.sion and hobby!
I still had over 100 stacks of Dragonfish Soup in my bag after that big sale, but I had to stop. It was one thing to make money, and another to make money at the expense of my own people. I sent Murong Mingyue a message: ”Sis, do you need some Rank 9 Magic Consumables? If you do, come to the eastern square of Sky City!”
”Of course I do! Wait for me!”
A short while later, the beautiful priest entered my sight and walked up to me with a smile. ”You finally found the time to rank up your Cooking skill, Lu Chen?”
”Yeah, my Cooking is at Rank 10 now. Starting tomorrow, I'll gather Rank 10 food ingredients and begin ma.s.s-producing Rank 10 Magic Consumables.”
”Hehe, not bad, not bad. I look forward to it…”
While speaking, I opened the trade window and selected 100 stacks of Dragonfish Soup. However, she turned bright red in the face and said, ”Ahh! No more! I'm overflowing! I only have 80 slots in my bag, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d…”
Me: ”...”
Oh well. I supposed I needed to wait until Murong Mingyue stashed some of the Magic Consumables in the warehouse.
I finally gave away all the goods after two trade attempts. Beaming with joy, Murong Mingyue suddenly wrapped her arms around my neck and gave me a light kiss on my cheeks, saying, ”Thank you for everything, handsome chef. Now, I'm going to go back to grinding…”
”Mn.”
I watched Murong Mingyue calmly as she let go of me and walked away. I might seem indifferent to another person, but if you were ”s.e.xually hara.s.sed” by the same girl every day in real life, you would have grown used to it like me...
……
I checked the time and noted that it was getting late. I needed Dragon Meat to make Rank 10 Magic Consumables, and clearly I couldn't target high-level holy dragons with my meager strength unless I wanted to die like a dog. So for now, the plan was to hunt some low-level land dragons for their Dragon Meat. These things crawled all over the place like lizards, and it probably wouldn't be easy to grind them. I also didn't know where they could be found yet. Oh well, that was for tomorrow me to worry about. It was almost time for bed!
I entered Air Force One and managed things for a bit. Then, I taught my beautiful fox attendant my Rank 9 Cooking skill. Now that she knew the skill, she would start purchasing the relevant ingredients and sell Rank 9 Magic Consumables on her own, and as the boss all I needed to do was… nothing. I'm the boss, why would I need to work when my underling could do the job for me?
It was midnight by the time I was finished with everything. All the girls in the workshop had gone to bed already.
Mn, it's time for me to go to bed as well.
1. Author's Note: I know that some readers are troubled by the fact that a single blue pot costs 5 RMB, but don't be. Anyone who can afford these is rich, and spending habits of rich people will always exceed your or my imagination. Just a while ago, I was playing a browser game with a gacha that costs 10 RMB per click, and I saw with my own eyes some people spending over 5000 RMB in a single morning. So calm down, just because you don't know of something doesn't mean that it can't possibly exist in this world.
