317 7.45 Money Makes The World Go Round. (2/2)

The four of us sat down and chatted noisily as Will.I.Am prepared strawberry tea in a pot and we all drank up and in a short moment, the dwarfs emerged from their mine shaft and numbered eagerly to us and welcome Matilda back to the band.

Soon, we all sat down with the spread of food before us and tucked in beginning with the fried potato crisp with dippings and finally to the garlic fried rice, chops, crabs and clams.

In short, it was a feast to behold as everyone happily tucked in and was also to commemorate each week of successful mining.

....

”Here you go, young adventurer. This feast is simply wonderful and delectable especially the clams and crabs from this river. Once again, we would like to give our thanks for the meals that you had provided and me seeing you again tomorrow for breakfast.”

The dwarf handed me 4 pouches of gems and was added to the collections of shards. I thanked them for all the shards. ” So when would you be making the Fair quality gems?”

”It's not as simple as it seemed, my friend. It would take about 400 poor quality gems to hit a 100% success rate for the Fair quality ones and to hit 400 poor quality ones, we need 2000 shards.”

”Then how many gems would you require to turn the fair ones to good ones? Would it be 400 gems at an increment of .25 every fusion?”

”That's right my friend, I haven't made the calculation yet but I think by the end of this 90 days I would be churning out a few hundred pieces of poor gems. We still have 83 days left, right my dwarven friend?”

”Yes, my young adventurer friend. 83 days would give you 4067 pieces of shards per gem and by that period of time, you would have made quite a substantial amount of poor quality gems.”

”That's right, my dwarven friend. That amount could be made into 813 poor quality gems. I won't be making those poor quality gems yet, I'd rather wait for the end of 90 days before I embark on making these gems.”

”That's a fair thought, my young adventurer. Alright, we are off now. See you at breakfast tomorrow.”

The dwarfs bade farewell and shoulders the picks over and lumbered off towards the path that they had come from and disappeared from view after some time.

”So boss, we won't be having our sockets filled with gem soon right?”

”Let's go to Nuneaton next...! I saw an adventurer when I'm on the way back here and his equipment had an aura and he said he got it through refinement at that town he mentioned.”

Matilda excitedly pointed out and she related how she met with the young man and what he had created to Matilda regards the basic tier refinement that would enhance the drops ny monsters.

When the required amount of gold coins was mentioned, it made me wonder how much Refined Steel Plates that need to be sold to make up for that amount. I've got slightly more than 58k Refined plates and was wondering how much would I get if I exchanged a few thousand plates at one time.

At least, I don't have to think if going in and out to get the plates and would just take about 850 plates and trade them in one shot. This amount of plates would yield 2125 gold coins and it would be worthwhile to use in a very long period of time.

”Alright, guys hang on a bit, I'm heading to the trading area to change for some gold coins for our next adventure after this.”

With that, I walked out of camp, went behind a tree and sneaked into the Realm of mine and removed the balance Refined steel plates and head back to the real world. I then walked gingerly toward Byram village and exchanged the plates with the Smithy for 2125 gold coins and walked back to the camp.

I had gone for 40 minutes to complete the task and was sitting at the dining table when Matilda approached me, ” You managed to exchange the coins?”

”Yup...we now have more than 2150 gold coins that we could use to refine our weapons and armour. We would head to Nuneaton once we finished the 90 days here.”

”Boss, could I suggest we use a portal to move between cities instead? When I first move out from Port Isaac, I used the Inn to quickly move to Plymouth for 3 gold coins. Actually, it's not quickly moving, I checked in and stayed for the night and when I exit my bedroom, I'm already in Plymouth.”
